  • Hasbro Reveals Marvel Legends Wave for ‘The Marvels’

    Hasbro Reveals Marvel Legends Wave for ‘The Marvels’

    In another universe, Marvel Studios’ The Marvels would be hitting theaters in less than 2 months. In this universe, Disney moved the release date from July 28th to November 11th, but not before the gears on the machine that is merchandising had already been set in motion. Today, Hasbro released the first look at one of the many branches of merchandise associated with Marvel Studios projects: Marvel Legends.

    In has to be one of Hasbro’s most hodgepodge waves to date, The Marvels wave of Marvel Legends includes only 3 figures from the film (Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and Photon) while the other 4 figures (Commander Rogers, Heroes Return Iron Man, Karnak and Marvel Boy) and the Build-A-Figure (Amadeus Cho’s Totally Awesome Hulk) are all comic based.

    While an argument could be made that each of the comic-based figures are Captain Marvel and/or Ms. Marvel adjacent, it’s surprising nonetheless to see Marvel Boy and Karnak get their own figures. Karnak’s inclusion could bode well for fans of Marvel Comics Inhumans as it could indicate that Hasbro may start pushing out individual Inhumans over the next few years.

    As for Amadeus Cho’s Totally Awesome Hulk, his connection to Kamala Khan as a fellow member of the first modern-day iteration of The Champions seems to explain his inclusion here. It’s worth noting, however, that Cho was long-rumored to be in The Marvels.

    Pre-orders for the wave will go live on June 7th at 1:00 PM ET on Hasbro Pulse, Amazon and other online retailers.

  • ‘Black Adam’ Merchandise Offers Best Look Yet at Film’s Villain

    ‘Black Adam’ Merchandise Offers Best Look Yet at Film’s Villain

    The identity of the villain of DC’s upcoming film, Black Adam, was a bit of a secret for some time. Initially, it was believed that Dwayne Johnson’s hero would be going up against Eclypso; however, it’s since been revealed, in a leaked look at Funko Pops for the film, that Sabbac would serve as the primary antagonist. Now, thanks once again to Funko, fans have their first good look at Sabbac.

    Things started to piece together when we learned the production was eyeing Marwan Kenzari in the role of Ishmael, a role many fans were quickly able to connect to Ishmael Gregor, one of the few that have held the powers of Sabbac. While it was never confirmed Kenzari joined the film, he can be spotted in some of footage we’ve seen, and the recent Funko products seem to confirm the rumored villainous turn. The character looks to be incredibly accurate to the Ishmael Gregor version of the character. Sporting a humanoid form, sprouting two massive horns and a smoldering pentagram on the torso.

  • Leaked 2022 Marvel Legends Wave to Feature Quake

    Leaked 2022 Marvel Legends Wave to Feature Quake

    Near the end of 2021, a pretty good-sized leak revealed many of this year’s upcoming Marvel Legends waves. Among the figures mentioned in the leak were Sleepwalker and D’Spayre, who turned out to be part of the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness wave that was recently revealed. Now, the same leaker, YouTuber Rektangular, has some updated information on another wave.

    Rektangular’s original information indicated that a comic-based Avengers wave would be hitting shelves in September of this year. It now appears that wave has been moved up to April, meaning it’ll be available for pre-order soon, and with the move comes more information about which figures collectors can expect. According to Rektangular, the wave will contain the following seven figures:

    Thor
    Iron Man
    Quake
    Blue Marvel
    Speedball
    Madame Hydra
    U.S. Agent

    The inclusion of Quake is sure to get fans of Agents of S.H,I,E.L.D. speculating about Chloe Bennet’s return to the role; however, the wave is comic-based and not related to any of Marvel Studios upcoming projects, so this figure should not be taken as an indication of her joining the MCU. Collectors should still be excited though, as this is the first time the character has been made available in the Legends line. Blue Marvel and Speedball will also make their first appearances as Legends, with Speedball joining fellow New Warriors Night Thrasher and Firestar as characters who have recently been produced.

  • Marvel Legends Packaging Provides the Best Look Yet at ‘Multiverse of Madness’ Variant

    Marvel Legends Packaging Provides the Best Look Yet at ‘Multiverse of Madness’ Variant

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will see Stephen Strange explore new territory in the MCU when it hits theaters this May. The recent teaser for the film shows Strange exploring the multiverse and, in the process, running into Variants of himself. Recently, one of those Variants, Defender Strange, was revealed by way of a Target Exclusive Marvel Legends figure. Now a new image, first shared by Twitter user @eljaunleon, gives us our best look yet at the Variant.

    The Variant of Strange, who was seen briefly in the teaser, is based, at least aesthetically, on the character as he appeared in Matt Fraction and Terry Dodson’s 2011 comic book series, The Defenders. That series, which ran for 12 issues, saw Strange team up with Silver Surfer, Namor, the Red She-Hulk and Iron Fist and ended, ironically enough, with Strange altering time to prevent the destruction of the universe. At the time it was being developed, Fraction teased that the series would “explain everything that has ever happened in the Marvel Universe”, so referencing it in a film that might attempt to do the same seems logical.

    The teaser only shows Defender Strange for the briefest of moments, so there’s no telling what his role in the film is or what other Defenders he might or might not be working with in his universes. To know that, we’ll have to wait to see how things unfold when Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theaters on May 6, 2022.
