    Hasbro Unveils Full HoX/PoX Marvel Legends Wave

    Jonathan Hickman kicked off Marvel Comics X-Men renaissance last year with dual series House of X and Powers of X. The books represent a new era for mutants as they have returned to a prominent place at the House of Ideas. Earlier this year, Hasbro teased that some of the designs from the books would be making their way into the 6-inch Marvel Legends line. Today, the entire wave was revealed during a Fan First Friday Livestream. Joining the already teased Professor X, Moira and Magneto will be Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine and the Omega Sentinel. It was also revealed that the wave’s BAF will be a Tri-Sentinel!

     

    Fans of the comics will note that Hasbro has cleverly labeled the boxes in Krakoan, the language created by Hickman for the new run, providing a cool wink-wink to the hardest of hardcore X-book readers.

    Pre-orders for the wave are set to go live today at 1:00 PM EST at Hasbro Pulse.

    PulseCon: Marvel Legends Joe Fixit Series Revealed

    Hasbro PulseCon had a few pretty great reveals but this one takes the cake and was, at least to me, a complete surprise. Made available for pre-order immediately is a new Marvel Legends series featuring Hulk alter Joe Fixit as the BAF!

    The series will include two new GamerVerse figures (alternate looks for Iron Man and Captain America) and then what can only be described as an absolute solid gold set of comic-based characters including remakes of Falcon and Kang alongside the first 6″ figures for Jocasta and Thunderstrike!

    The first wave of GamerVerse figures were pretty big sellers and these two look pretty sharp as well. However, the big sellers here are going to be the comic-based figures.

    Both the Falcon and Kang remakes look significantly better than their prior versions and I absolutely cannot believe we’re getting 6″ figures for Jocasta and Thunderstrike nor can I believe that as good as Jocasta looks, Thunderstrike’s mold actually looks better! This series comes as a complete surprise to me and also instantly empties the wallet.
