Yesterday during Hasbro's latest
Marvel Legends Fanstream we got a few accessory teases for upcoming action figures which seems to confirm the rumors that we will soon be getting
Marvel Legends figures based on the
Marvel Vs Capcom video games.
Of course we have already been getting figures that fit in well with those video games including the
Zabu BAF Wave Cable,
Retro Iron Man With Proton Cannon,
Retro Modular War Machine and
Marrow.
It should be noted that the one thing missing from any of those figures or the ones likely yet to come are the
Capcom part of the
Marvel Vs. Capcom. In other words anyone thinking you might see
Capcom based figures with any of this is going to be sorely disappointed. If you want
Capcom based figures that fit in well with
Marvel Legends then we suggest you look at the
Jada Toys Street Fighter line, but don't expect any to come from
Hasbro.
So getting back to yesterday's teases, what exactly can we expect for
Marvel Legends figures from that? Well based on
RUMORS first put out on the internet last August by
Displaying Model Behaviour, we can expect a new
Deluxe Juggernaut figure that will go with the
large blast effect piece they showed. This will allow you to create his running charge move from the game. Now when I say new
Juggernaut, I have no idea if this will be a totally new figure or some kind of re-issue with new accessories. That goes for all these rumored listings.
The
smaller flame accessory Hasbro showed yesterday seems to have just been put out there to give a size comparison for the
bigger blast effect. We don't think it was meant to be a teaser for a new figure.
The
pink accessory should be for a rumored
Psylocke figure that will be part of a
2-pack with Thanos.
Beyond those items, it is "Rumored" you can also expect to see a
2-pack with Wolverine and Silver Samurai and a
Deluxe Gargantos (Shuma-Gorath). That last figure is the most interesting one because it is the first time we will have ever gotten a action figure based on that character.
Note based on what I have seen, the figure is listed as
Gargantos which in the comics is actually a different character from
Shuma-Gorath, but due to legal issues involving the
Shuma-Gorath name, Marvel and likely Hasbro are using the
Gargantos name in place of
Shuma-Gorath. It should also be noted that in the comics Shuma is much bigger than how he appears in the video games which is where I think most people know the character from. The figure while a bigger Deluxe one we imagine will be sized based on his video game appearance and not his comic book one.
Another thing to note here is that these figures don't appear to be listed as video game figures
or likely will have any mention of
Marvel Vs. Capcom on the packaging. These appear to fall under as subline titled
Marvel Legends Anniversary.
Now there does appear to be some additional figure 2-packs coming that will fall under the
Gamerverse banner. Those include
Captain America vs Venom and
War Machine vs Omega Red. I have no idea why some of these seem to fall under the
Gamerverse banner and others don't, but again
I don't really expect any mention of
Marvel Vs. Capcom on these offerings, and definitely don't expect any
Capcom based characters released with these.
From what I have seen these won't be out until the latter half of 2025 and my best guess is these are figures that will be officially revealed by
Hasbro this summer during
SDCC.
Hasbro should have at least one more Online Fanstream event before
SDCC, so I won't say it's impossible they couldn't be revealed during that, but SDCC seems more likely to me. Of course as always, until
Hasbro does officially reveal these figures we will treat all of this as
RUMOR.

Wow sorry about that bud. Didnt mean to air out your laundry. Hope I didn't overstep. I was thinking it was an issue with the movie itself. Didn't know you were going through a rough patch. I hope you get through this my friend. Everyone's path is there own so I won't pretend to understand but seriously even though we're worlds apart don't be afraid to reach out if there's anything you need.

True, but making them even more ridiculous with the color they use doesn't help.

Me thinks really slim, so yeah I would have preferred classic version with bonus of the modern head. I'm don't feel the same way about Crossbones since we got 3 releases of him before that, although I personally don't like they grey they picked, much darker grey would have been better.
Would love to see somebody customize a classic Madame Masque, putting the legs and arms of the Controller wave Quake into a white torso with a zipper. Unfortunately the only female bodies with white torsos and zippers I can think of, Sharon Carter and Snow Black Widow, don't have it all the way up.
