Hasbro Celebrates Avengers 60th Anniversary! Part 1 of 7

[since83]

Dang. I'm gonna need a minute. These are all pretty cool.

And, this seems like a good moment to say something to Reno. 

I am sorry for my commentary about ordering early. In my mind I was debating a point about whether it matters when you order. But I know for sure I should have kept it to one comment. I am pretty positive I am who you were talking about in your heartfelt diatribe. Assuming I was the "or two". I was so wrapped up in this thing after the sting I felt during the EoV. The sheer delight people took in its and my failure. But here I was taking it out on someone ON MY SIDE! It was really lame of me. I can't give back the fun I took out of it for you ,but hopefully you can accept my apology, cause I truly mean it.

II liked all three. The third was the coolest but the middle one showed off the figure better, his place with the others. That's the one I picked.

[AndyL]

Sketch number two all the way.

I went 2 as well. 1 is really nice but I felt like the buildings around them in 2 added scale and action. I really liked the third one, but that needs to be on the side.

The votes are in and a clear winner has emerged from the Marvel Legends Series Giant-Man HasLab fan vote to choose the larger-than-life packaging illustration! The backers choice selection is...Option #2! This fan-favorite illustration was created by Marvel cover artist, John Tyler Christopher, and will adorn the premium HasLab packaging for this Astonishing Avenger.

[since83]

Hooray!!!

[GnarlyCharlie85]

Awesome voted on this and the first one, both were great. I gotta say thou i voted on the first one more, im still good with this one. Can't wait to get giant man!

[watanabefan]

Yes! The one I was hoping for.

[Typhis]

Don't care what one won....I'm just going to throw it away after I open it, like I do with all the other packaging that the figures come in...

[AndyL]

I haven't checked but I wonder if the actual numbers are available. I would say about 80 percent of the people I know went #2. Not that it matters. But of course the one was the winner. What better picture but the one that actually shows Giant Man as a giant among his peers?

[GnarlyCharlie85]

Dang that looks good already on the eye colors! I swear people that didn't back this are going to be kicking themselves when this comes out. It's lower production numbers compared to other haslabs is gonna make this one of the rarest pieces in marvel legends. I can't wait to get him. I just hope we start seeing some of those figures they talked about to go with him, other than wasp.

[ransomz]

That is pretty impressive detailing. 

[since83]

It looks damn near human, down to the slightly bloodshot from doing sciency stuff all night! 

[AndyL]

I must say I was thoroughly impressed by the first picture but now it's clear both eyes have the same exact print. Just Hasbro doing what Hasbro does. Whatever. I didn't buy the thing for the eye details. They could have been static just like every other ML and I would have been OK with it. IMO they are putting way too much emphasis on this whole eye situation. A nice detail to have for sure but effort that I feel could be utilized elsewhere. I doubt this is creating any kind of FOMO for anyone that didn't partake in this Haslab.

[MvCfan]

Impressive detail on the eyes but kind of out of character to me. When I think of giant man I usually dont think of his psychotic looking glare.

Hasbro's Dwight Stall has once again released a new image for the Haslab Giant-Man figure giving us a look at adjustments that have been made to the neck.

A few moons ago our Giant-Man prototype was shown at NYCC. Here are a few images of the adjusted neck articulation on the production sample. As before, this guy is still being tweaked and color matching is still underway. Gotta say though I’m loving the journey with ya’ll.


This figure will start shipping out to folks who backed last years campaign towards the end of the year.

[since83]

Looks really nice. Those textures are pretty incredible. Glad they didn't just leave that neck peg. Anyone else have a problem with those popping out of the body instead of the head? Happens to my Wonderman, I always feel like I'm gonna damage it with any tool I use to pull the peg out of the head to put back in the body.

[AndyL]

I didn't have any doubts there was a lot going on with the proto that would get fixed when all was said and done but it is great to see them keeping us abreast of stuff like this. Of course the eye thing is what it is but the detail is amazing on the rest of the figure as well. I am honestly more excited about this one than any of the other Haslabs to date. 

[Summers71]

Looking at these images of just the head are starting to make me regret my decision to pull the plug on this Haslab after I backed it 🤦🏻

[JayC]

Hasbro is sending out emails to folks who backed the Haslab Marvel Legends Giant Man campaign last year letting them know it is soon going to be shipping.

The main point of the email is to make sure people who backed it have their current address listed on their Haslab orders correctly. Based on previous campaigns the figure is likely still weeks away from actually shipping, but we are getting close.

[since83]

Yes!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!

I do hope this comes in under the, "you have to sign for it" price. It is always a huge pain for me to take off work. But then risking such a big package to porch piracy is rough too. Idk which one is worse.

[Psychosomatic]

Can't wait to have this thing in hand! Curious how Hasbro will measure success for Dragonman with it not officially being a Haslab, yet still being similar in many ways... Hoping they continue producing larger scale figures (a comic style Frost Giant is top of my list).

Pulse typically uses FedEx to ship. FedEx offers a "Secure Pick-Up location" option through their website/app. You can have your package delivered to a local Walgreens or FedEx store in your area where they will hold the package for you until you are able to go pick it up and sign for it.

UPS and the USPS offer similar services for their packages.

Marvel Legends collectors, it's time! Ryan and Dwight are here with an exciting unboxing of the final production sample of the Marvel Legends Series HasLab Giant-Man. In this video, they walk you through all the incredible accessories, including alternate eyes, antennae, and face plates that allow you to customize Giant-Man to your liking.

But that’s not all—Ryan also gives a closer look at the stunning packaging, featuring artwork by John Tyler Christopher, and a display-ready backdrop perfect for showing off this massive figure. If you backed this HasLab, you won’t want to miss this detailed first look! Make room on your shelf because this GIANT hero will be shipping soon this fall!

Can. Not. WAIT!!!! Love the back of the box.
