I thought Marvel and Disney were distancing themselves from Frank Castle due to the controversy surrounding him and his skull logo. Doesn't Disney have a say in what Legends figures get greenlit? I can't believe they approved this 2-pack.

Punisher is about to be in the Daredevil TV show on Disney+, so I don't think that's the case anymore.

That Colossus figure is just gorgeous. All the MCU stuff usually looks good, but they really knocked this one out of the park. He's been a figure I've wanted since 2016, so glad to see he came out looking so clean.

Mangog would be an instant buy, people would buy him that don't even collect this line just off his design so toyetic. Gladiator is also one of my most wanted villains right alongside Looter. Just really cool designed characters that someone seeing on a store shelf or wherever would be like dang that's cool looking I want it. Great taste my friend!

Truth! I've been saying they need to Gladiator for a long time. Especially now that they've already done Whirlwind; they can improve on those wrist-mounted buzzsaws (and as a side note, I want original Whirlwind, sans the saws and chainmail). Also...if they're doing Mangog then they really need to do the Griffin! Nail his look from Namor's book and they got a winner!

Really nice reveals in general. Deadpool & Wolverine wave were a bit disappointing but i ll get Wolverine anyway. And I dont need another Venompool, but i understand re-launching him for those that didnt get the BAF one. 

Also my pocket really appreciates not having a Haslab this year.. just a bit worried with the price point of this Dragon Man figure...

[Emnems80]

Pretty good reveals this year. Haven't gotten a definitive Punisher in my collection so I'll probably be picking him up. That Crystal and Lockjaw makes me want to start an Inhumans display, I just hope they're not too expensive!

Shown below is a look from SDCC 2024 at the new Marvel Legends Series Wolverine & Deadpool Figures from Hasbro. Pre-order today 7/27, beginning at 5:00pm ET from our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth.

I stopped myself from making the obligatory huge list of figures on the "Made to Order" series after Dragon Man, so I kept it at Magog. But holy $#!%, Griffon would be soooooooo awesome!!! Can't agree more!

ROM!!! Can't believe the Awesomeness!! It's great to finally be getting a few more Inhumans and Comic Wong, plus a better Dormammu head! Still need Baron Mordo and Nightmare though. The Punisher and Bushwacker two pack is an unexpected and Welcome surprise! Yeah,  they tried replacing Frank with the teched-out ex-Shield guy, but that book got canceled after 4 issues, and with him re-entering the MCU it makes sense to bring him back around, symbol issues notwithstanding!  Never would have expected Bushwacker though!

I think they've started now distancing themselves from the distancing of Punisher. Especially after the massive failure of the so called New Punisher. Frank is an iconic character and the skull is an iconic logo. IMO abandoning such a historic character and his logo because some numbskulls decided to do some really dumb things in his name is the epitome of letting the bad guys win. They are literally stealing your IP. How could a massive company like Disney stand for someone anyone to just take their stuff? Stop making the shirts if you must. Who cares. They'll make their own. Disney responded to the demands of the crowd as they saw fit and it failed. At least they can say they tried. If some people can't make a distinction between a character and bad actors we'll that's not on Disney or Marvel to dumb it down for everyone to understand. IMO they could have easily just decried the bad actions being done under his identity and ignore it. But in the end the honest truth is Disney just realized having Frank with them rather than against them is the more profitable way to go. It's all about the dollars in the end.

Again mostly my opinions just based on my feelings and talking to others in the community. He's a violent character who deals with violence with violence. He's always stood up for the weak and underprivileged. What's so bad about that? Why did the character have to be assassinated because the logo was being misrepresented?

Opinion piece only. Please don't take this as an attack on anyone or their opinions. Everyone is entitled to thers.

Crystal was SO long overdue for a figure. I can't believe we didn't even get one with the 90's Fantastic Four animated series toyline, back in the day. I can picture a two-pack down the line with Crystal's black and white bomber jacket costume, with Sersi's classic green costume. I'd buy that.

[Ironspider428]

Are there supposed to be new reveals today? Or just the preorders?

Decent amounts of reveals but a lot of missed opportunity. The Dr.Strange/Wong 2 pack features a comic classic Wong....fantastic. Great to see that deep dive there. But why not do the Dr. Strange "superhero" masked suit from 1969? A unique look for Strange and you get Wong to boot.

The Dr. Strange figure again misses the mark. Fortunately, this go-round they made sure to accent the tunic symbol, unlike the "classic" version that came out as that wallymutt exclusive. However like that one, they still have the cloak glued to the figure.

At least this one isn't as bad as that animated one, where they designed it to fully cover the shoulders, meaning the figure couldn't lift the arms. Here, they've given a new cloak that has a built-in sweeping shape to it; the arms aren't as restricted but you can see he still doesn't have a full range of motion. Also, they opted for straight yellow on the cloak trim, gloves and sash instead of the correct yellow-orange. It also seems that the Strange head has a much more pale skin tone?  Maybe thats the lighting. But then they add the Dormammu head and it STILL doesnt have the yellow eyes and mouth! Bizarre because the box art shows it correctly. 

I think the Orb of Agamotto stand would have been a much better accessory than the non-articulated ghost dog.

Always appreciate getting new reveals and the effort that the Hasbro team puts in to keeping us collectors satiated. That being said, I think the only must-have for me is the updated Quicksilver. I'll probably end up picking up the Punisher 2-pack as well. Nothing else besides the Dragon Man really caught my attention. Any word on what the price tag will be for him? 

[ScottieACE]

Count me in for a GRIFFIN! A Legend of that classic John Byrne art would be fantastic.

[Thwippersnapper]

Not a bad show! I can't not order that Dragon Man. He looks pretty much exactly how I would've wanted him to.

I have no attachment to Dragon Man but I got to get him too, he just looks too awesome!

I can't tell from the images but it looks like this new Strange might have pinless legs.

I'm pretty sure it does because the purple tunic animated figure was pinless. Still though, there's the problem with the cloak, the Dormammu head, etc.  Its the whole one step forward, 2 steps back that these guys do.

Got it. I wish Hasbro would lean into soft goods a little bit more. I think a Dr Strange with a wired cloth cape would be awesome for posing.

Thinking about it, could the Unlimited Spiderman be part of the next animated 2pack? I mean we can assume that Spiderboy is part of the next wave but it seems more likely that it would be in the animated line rather then a regular spiderman line

I would prefer Unlimited to be in the main wave, I can't think of any other character from that show I would want

[leokearon]

Looks like we might be getting one more thing revealed or teased

Brown and tan wolverine confirmed in the booth. Probably part of the secret wars wave.

He's actually one character that could really use a soft goods cape. Even McFarlane is doing those now.

I like that Quicksilver too. I'm sure they're gonna do a repaint to the blue. I think that shiny metallic sky blue they used for that modular War Machine Action Figure would look incredible on Quicksilver.
