  • Marvel Legends Lady Loki Now Available for Individual Pre-Order

    Marvel Legends Lady Loki Now Available for Individual Pre-Order

    After having been teased alongside a retro Falcon figure earlier this year, Marvel Legends retro

    One of the great modern iterations of the God of Mischief came from 2008’s epic Thor series by comic creators J. Michael Straczynski and Oliver Coipel when Loki took the form of a woman and became known, to fans, as Lady Loki. The Loki of Norse mythology was always a shapeshifter, so taking the form of a woman was nothing new but the character went on, in this new form, to be quite popular throughout Dark Reign. Now collectors can pick up a great looking version of Lady Loki for their shelves.

    Pre-order the 6-inch Lady Loki at Entertainment Earth ($22.99 and scheduled to ship in February) by November 2, 2021

  • The Tivan Collection: Marvel Legends Kro

    The Tivan Collection: Marvel Legends Kro

    Marvel Studios Eternals hits theaters this week. The film features a strong ensemble cast bringing to life some of Jack Kirby’s most curious creations, including the Deviants, the changing people who find themselves in an everlasting battle against the Eternals. The Deviant warlord Kro serves as one of the film’s more unique antagonists and was made into a deluxe Legends figure apart from the Eternals wave.

    Kro is among the most unique Marvel Legends of the past few years. The sculpt on the figure is nothing short of one of Hasbro’s most intricate and detailed to date. Each Deviant is unique and, in this way, Kro stands out not only among the Eternals Legends figures but also of Hasbro’s offerings over the past year. The deluxe figure comes with 2 accessories (tendrils the character uses in the film to multiple ends) but it’s not the accessories that make the figure worthy of joining your collection. This is one MCU figure that captures the magic of the movies.

    Kro is available for purchase at Entertainment Earth. You can catch Kro in Marvel Studios Eternals beginning on November 5th.

  • The Tivan Collection: Marvel Legends Makkari

    The Tivan Collection: Marvel Legends Makkari

    Marvel Studios Eternals hits theaters this week. The film features a strong ensemble cast bringing to life some of Jack Kirby’s most curious creations. Among those making the jump to the MCU is the speedster of the group, Makkari. Makkari, played by Lauren Ridloff, is the first deaf superhero to hit the big screen and the first of the Eternals wave we’ll look at in the first installment of the Tivan Collection.

    The Eternals wave, as a whole, presents as one of Hasbro’s most minimalist. Each figure comes with few accessories other than the BAF piece; however, this is a case of less is more as the attention to detail on the character sculpts is superior to some of their other MCU efforts. Each Eternal has very unique and elaborate costume design that, while not Kirby-esque, is very distinctive. In this case, Makarri’s looks great as does the face sculpt.

    The Eternals wave might be an all or nothing proposition for some collectors; however, I have a feeling Makkari is going to be one of the more popular characters plucked individually off store shelves; not because her costume is the flashiest, but because she represents a major paradigm shift for heroes. The changes the MCU made to Makkari will make her very important to a lot of people. For those collecting the entire wave individually, you’ll need her to complete the Gilgamesh BAF.

    If you’re looking to add Makkari to your collection, you can find her here at Entertainment Earth. You can also pre-order the entire Eternals wave here. Marvel Studios Eternals hits theaters November 5th.

  • ‘WHAT IF…?’ Marvel Legends Arrive, Hint at a Live-Action Captain Carter

    ‘WHAT IF…?’ Marvel Legends Arrive, Hint at a Live-Action Captain Carter

    During today’s Hasbro Pulse Fan First Wednesday, the latest wave of Marvel Legends, this time for the upcoming animated series What If…?, were revealed and may have given away more than just a good look at the characters. The wave, which goes up for pre-order this afternoon at 1:00 PM ET, comes with 7 figures and a Build-A-Figure Uatu. Of the 7, 6 are set to debut in the Disney Plus streaming series What If…?, and the other is labeled “Marvel’s Sylvie” from the recently concluded Loki series. A closer look at the packaging for each character reveals that Haley Atwell’s Captain Carter is called “Marvel’s Captain Carter”, an indication that the character may well make the transition to live-action.

    There have been rumors that Carter would appear in an upcoming live-action project, but this is the first evidence of that possibility. The labeling seems intentional to set Captain Carter apart from the other What If…? characters, none of which are labeled as “Marvel’s” characters.

    The rest of the wave is comprised of T’Challa as Star-Lord, “Heist” Nebula, Zombie Captain America, a Zombie Hunter Spidey and Doctor Strange Supreme. These Variant characters are likely to be revealed as having come into existence following the death of He Who Remains at the hands of Sylvie, making her inclusion here sensible.

    If one had to hazard a guess as to when we might expect Atwell’s Captain Carter to appear, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness would seemingly be a heavy favorite as it is expected to deal with the fallout of Loki.

    What If…? will begin streaming weekly on Disney Plus on August 11th.

  • More ‘Shang-Chi’ Marvel Legends Leaks Confirm Family Ties

    More ‘Shang-Chi’ Marvel Legends Leaks Confirm Family Ties

    Over the past few days we’ve had multiple leaks surrounding merchandise from the upcoming Marvel Studios film Shang-Chi and The legend of The Ten Rings. Amongst those leaks were closer looks at Legos, Funko Pops! and quite recently the upcoming Marvel Legends figures based on characters within the film, offering our best looks yet at Shang-Chi and Wenwu, aka The Mandarin from the upcoming film. We’ve now got a closer look at the final two figures from the film in the upcoming wave, that of Xialang and the mysterious Death Dealer.

    Our first close look at Xialang offers more details on her ties to the titular hero, revealing that she is indeed the estranged sister of the martial artist and another child of the Mandarin. When Shang-Chi suddenly shows up in her life, Xialang, played by Meng’er Zhang, must choose between the solitary life she’s created for herself or join her brother in the fight against the Ten Rings.

    The next description gives less detail on the character but sets him up to be quite the worthy adversary for Shang-Chi in his fight against the Ten Rings group. Not much is known about the Death Dealer but if he lives up to his name he would definitely not be someone to take lightly.

    Death Dealer is one of the most formidable opponents Shang-Chi has ever faced

     

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of The Ten Rings is currently set to be released on September 3rd, 2021 and will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. The film stars Simu Liu as the titular hero alongside Awkwafina, Tony Leung, Fala Chen, Ronny Chieng, Michelle Yeoh, and Florian Munteanu.

    Marvel Legends Iron Man Wave Will Complete the Winter Guard with Ursa Major BAF

    Hasbro revealed its latest Iron Man Wave of Marvel Legends today and fans of the Russian super team the Winter Guard have to be ecstatic. The 7 figure wave, which is fully inspired by the comics, includes Winter Guard member Darkstar and the BAF pieces to compile Ursa Major. With Red Guardian and Crimson Dynamo already available, fans can now put together the entire team.

     

     

     

    As you can see, the rest of the wave includes several Iron Man variants, the first Ironheart Legend, a classic Ultron and a Guardsman which might be familiar to readers from the Armor Wars era. The big prize here, though, is Darkstar and the BAF pieces to Ursa Major which allow completist collectors to show off Russia’s own super team.

  • Hasbro Reveals New 6-Inch Scale M.O.D.O.K Marvel Legends Figure

    Hasbro Reveals New 6-Inch Scale M.O.D.O.K Marvel Legends Figure

    With an animated show set to debut on Hulu sometime early in 2021, M.O.D.O.K is about to become a whole lot more well-known to general audiences. Just about the time that animated series airs, Hasbro will be rolling out a new M.O.D.O.K figure as part of their 6-inch line next Spring.

    The figure is set to retail for $49.99 and comes with 4 accessories, one of which is bound to be his chair. M.O.D.O.K. was previously available as a Build-A-Figure and this new release should make him much easier to get your hands on. We just hope that between this and the new series that all the attention doesn’t…go to his head.
