Hasbro this past Friday loaded us up with a ton of info to end out 2024 giving us a look at the first two Marvel Legends waves to be released in 2025 along with 3 store exclusives coming in the new year. But besides that they seemingly dropped a number of hints for upcoming products along with 3 different accessory teasers. So lets break it all down.
At one point in the stream
Hasbro told us they would be doing more
Savage Land based characters in 2025 and even casually mentioned a four-armed character who I believe was a reference to the character named
Barbarus. At this time I have no additional info for any Savage Land characters so we will just have to wait and see on this one.
The next clue
Hasbro dropped was that they told us we would be seeing more
Spider-Man: No Way Home figures coming in 2025. If you want more details on what that likely will be then
GO HERE!
Hasbro's
Ryan Ting when talking about the newly announced
Uncanny X-Force Nightcrawler made sure to note that
Uncanny X-Force is an interesting team, possibly hinting more members from that team will be getting the figure treatment. I have no additional information to share on this so this is another one we will just have to wait and see.
Ryan also noted he really liked
X-Treme characters such as
Rogue and
Storm when they were talking about the newly announced
X-Treme X-Men Wolverine. Now honestly I think this was more something Ryan would like to see than actually suggesting something that was coming, but again we will have to see.
Finally Ryan when talking about the newly announced
X-Men Marrow figure along with the recent
Cable figure in yellow and blue they did suggested that maybe they were teasing a greater theme. Both those characters appear in the
Marvel vs. Capcom video games which is a new subline that has been rumored to be coming by
Displaying Model Behaviour. According to him the first wave would include the following single and 2-Packs:
-Shuma-Gorath
-Juggernaut
-Captain America & Venom
-War Machine & Omega Red
-Wolverine & Silver Samurai
-Psylocke & Thanos
This is a line I have not seen any additional details on so we only have the one source for this particular rumor at this time. But again it did seem like maybe Ryan was making a hint for that in Friday's live-stream. Again I guess time will tell.
At the end of the live-stream the Hasbro guys confirmed they already were working on a few more
Made-To-Pre-Order Marvel Legends items for 2025 like we saw with
Dragon Man and the
X-Men 97 Sentinel. No specifics but definitely more of those to come.
And finally
Hasbro showed off three different accessories for upcoming Marvel Legends figures. Now while we will treat this as
RUMOR until Hasbro officially confirms then, I can tell you with
99.9% certainty what two of the teasers are for. The third one I can only guess about.
The
first accessory they showed was a staff. This should be for a new
Marvel Legends Adam Warlock figure that will be part of a new
Marvel Legends sub-line of figures that include
mini-comics. The first wave of 6 figures should include the following:
- Rom The Space Knight with ROM Mini-Comic #1
- Banshee (Green and Yellow Classic Costume) with Giant Sized X-Men #1 Mini-Comic
- Adam Warlock with Infinity Gauntlet #1 Mini-Comic
- Miles Morales Spider-Man with Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spider-Man #1 Mini-Comic
- Dark Avengers Wolverine with Dark Avengers #1 Mini-Comic
- Ultimate Iron Man with unkown Ultimate Iron Man Mini-Comic
The Rom figure was previewed back in July at SDCC. These are supposed to be out around April time frame and cost $24.99 each.
The
second accessory was of a web effect. This will go to a new
Spider-Man figure that is part of another new Marvel Legends sub-line called
"Ultimate" which will see release through Fan-Channel retailers.
The term Ultimate refers to the fact these figures will be jam-packed with accessories. The first two figures slated for this line should be a new
Spider-Man (Traditional Red And Blue Costume) and
Green Hulk. Spider-Man will have an unmasked, regular masked head and spider-sense masked tingling head. he also comes with multiple hands, webbing effects (one of which Hasbro just teased), backpack, a set of lower arm/hands that have no costume but have webblasters on the hands, and some kind of stand. Hulk will have three heads, multiple hands, some kind of firing missile, wind clapping effect and punch effect. Hulk will stand 8.5" tall.
I don't have any kind of pricing or release date info for these but these should be the "Ultimate" versions of both characters to date Hasbro has given us.
Now I have seen some suggest the webbing effect also looks similar to something seen used in the Marvel Vs Capcom games. As I mentioned before I have no info on that rumored sub-line, but I certainly wouldn't be shocked if Hasbro used an accessory with more than one figure.
The third teaser which Hasbro said was not yet finished I really couldn't say. It definitely looks like the blades used on Archangel's wings. There is a rumor again from
Displaying Model Behaviour that suggests we will see a X-Force version of Archangel released in 2025. This is another rumor I have no further details on. Being the accessory Hasbro showed us is black is odd but again Hasbro said it was unfinished, which might suggest its not yet been painted silver. The image I am showing below is from the Dark X-Men storyline but again I can only guess on this one.
Not made during the Fan-Stream, but afterwards on X, Hasbro's Dan Yun posted this:
I don't know if this was meant to tease anything additional coming in 2025 that wasn't revealed in the live-stream, but I sure hope that
Excalibur Omnibus is suggesting that we will finally see a
Rachel Grey figure this year to round out that team.
So there you have it, a breakdown of everything Hasbro seemed to tease in this weeks fan-stream along with some additional details to shed more light on things. Let us know in the
COMMENT SECTION what your most excited for when it comes to Marvel Legends in the coming year.
