Marvel Legends Final Fan-Stream For 2024 Coverage

[tarot]

I'm thinking the Anti-Venom that was leak will probably be this Agent Venom repainted.

[TheArrow]

So..........we are getting the \77 TV Spider-Man........are we gonna get a Reb Brown Captain America and a Lou Ferigno Hulk--because I would be there for them???  And if Cap comes with that motorcycle, I will double-dirty-dog be there with that turbo-boost  sound effect playing on repeat in my head.    I just gotta get a Ramen Toys van then and........OH YES!

 im guessing the black thing is for the Archangel, the webbing is for another Spider-man and the Staff is obviously for Adam..... but if it's the staff that means it's the Infinity Gauntlet version and not the Cosmic hero version.

LOL, no need to guess. 100% the webbing is for the new Marvel Legends Ultimate subline Spider-Man and the staff is for the mini-comic subline Adam Warlock with Infinite Gauntlet #1 mini-comic. Thats not me speculating thats me telling you what they are. The third one for acrhangel is somewhat a guess.

[Audie]

Is the new Ultimate subline I keep hearing about a line of Ultimate Universe characters or like a series of kitted out headliners like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, etc with bonus accessories and parts? (Or something else)

[watanabefan]

The web effect also looks a lot like Spider-Man’s web throw from Marvel vs Capcom, and they pretty much confirmed the leaks of an MVC sub-line next year when talking about Marrow fitting a new theme coming in 2025.

I wish we got Morlock Marrow instead of conventionally attractive Marrow

YES!  I mean, don't get me wrong, new character means I'm still picking it up, but I always hated how quickly they backpeddled on the look of her first few appearances.  Just made for a more interesting character and the choice to lean towards good despite her appearance more impactful.  Maybe I'll have to pick up two and make a custom head so I can have an ugly, deformed marrow. 

[Hogun]

They finally updated Agent Venom! The reuse of the old toybiz mold was a terrible choice. I was disappointed with Agent Anti-Venom. So, this new one is much welcomed.  No tendrils is a bit of a letdown.

[SpiderS]

Spider-Man wave is really solid, Kaine, Chameleon and Agent Venom are all great looking original sculpts, and I would say that Unlimited Spidey also looks like a great sculpt but the lack of appropriate shading that makes his visual look is truly missing, I suppose Hasbro figured they could do another shaded version down the line because there’s not that much reuse potential for Kaine or Chameleon. 

[memocromatico]

Lizard looks better but I'm not sure I need to upgrade him as much. 

[GnarlyCharlie85]

I love this line! They knocked it out the park again. Chameleon looks great now danwho can be quiet. Kaine and x factor cyclops are my favorites here. No other company comes close, heck I feel nothing at hasbro comes close to the legends line imo. A legends figure besides a McFarland for instance is night and day. They have no competition imo and deserve two thumbs up for what they have been doing with this line. Keep up the good work.

[AndyL]

Ugh! Never been a fan of this Chameleon. But pick your poison I guess. It's either this one or a spaghetti legged one on an outdated suit body. I'll get it either way but I do hope we et a comic version eventually.

Yeah I gotta say it feels like we are never gonna get another Spider-Man BAF wave at this point LOL, The last Spidey BAF wave was 2022 with Armadillo (right?) , spidey waves have just morphed into Card waves, and it kinda stinks, because so many Spidey oriented BAFs we could be having..still looking at you Stegron, Alien Spider-Slayer and Spidercide.

the retro card waves just sell way too well for some reason, and of course it's maximum profit not to include a BAF.

it's crazy that  last year we had 9 BAF waves, this year 3, really seems like BAF waves are a thing being phased out and of the past, Which makes me sad.

 

Yeah. Spidey + Nostalgia packaging is win for Hasbro

The new Ultimate Fan Channel Exclusive line coming. When I say Ultimate, I mean figures with lots of accessories. The first two figures slated for this line looks to be new Spider-Man and Hulk figures. Spider-Man will have an unmasked, regular masked head and spider-sense masked tingling head. he also comes with multiple hands, webbing effects, backpack, a set of lower arm/hands that have no costume but have webblasters on the hands, and some kind of stand. Hulk will have three heads, multiple hands, some kind of firing missile, wind clapping effect and punch effect. Hulk will stand 8.5" tall.

Thats not what it was for.

I should clarify, thats not what its for UNLESS Hasbro is using that accessory for more than 1 figure in 2025 which knowing Hasbro is always possible, but I know one figure that accessory will def be included with and its not a MvC figure.

[MeGrimlock78]

Husk looks pretty good.  I wish the red was darker (felt the same about M), because I always pictured the costumes like this:

I think if they used colored plastic similar to modular Iron man figure it could have looked somewhat close to that. 
 

Ultimate Wolverine is conundrum for me, even though it has newly sculpted legs and boots the torso looks weird and super cheap with painted on yellow stripes, I think I would rather have sculpted on yellow stripes on torso than these newly sculpted legs that blend in.

Here is a detailed recap of the Spider-Man wave from Friday's live-stream.

As officially revealed on Friday, the first Marvel Legends Spider-Man Retro Cardback Wave for 2025 will be available for pre-order next week on Thursday December 12 at 1pm ET. These will be available at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth. This wave will include the following:

- Agent Venom (Flash Thompson) - This is an update to the 2014 Walgreens exclusive Agent Venom. This figure includes a riffle, pistol, working gun holster, masked head, unmasked Flash Thompson head, and 2 extra pairs of hands. The hips and joints have been updated from the original release. It does have pin-less arms and legs.

- Marvel's Chameleon (Animated Series) - This figure based on the Spider-Man: The Animated Series includes an extra set of hands, riffle and J.J. Jameson pulled off mask. He has a hand that looks like is activating his belt as seen in the cartoon and you also get the mask as a tribute to the original 5" Toy Biz figure. The figure has pin-less arms and legs.

- Electro (Francine Frye) - The figure includes extra hands and new large lightning effects with c-grips to go on the wrists. She is Tombstones daughter in the comics. The facial expression has a big menacing grin.

- Marvel's Kaine - This is an all-new sculpted figure and includes and extra pair of hands. He also has a wind-swept cape and features the pin-less arms and legs. In the comics Kaine is an imperfect clone of Peter Parker.

- Spider-Boy - The figure includes extra hands, extra fanged headsculpt and backpack. The extra hands are web-shooting hands even though the character does not shoot webs in the comics. This is the first kid-size body with pin-less arms and legs.

- Spider-Man Unlimited (Animated Series) - The figure includes two extra set of hands. It also has a web-cape and has pin-less arms and legs. This figure is based on the Spider-Man Unlimted Animated series that originally aired on FOX and was a continuation of the Spider-Man: The Animated Series where Peter ends up in an alternate dimension.

As revealed by Hasbro this past Friday, shown below is a look at the upcoming Marvel Legends Target Exclusive Professor X (Savage Land) figure. The figure comes with an extra pair of hands and an extra left head-scratching/psionic using hand. The figure also includes removable Cerebro helmet. The figure features Charles in his green safari suit as he wore in the X-Men: Animated Series when he went to the Savage Land. At the time he was able to walk and had lost his powers which is why he doesn't have a hoover chair even thought they went on and included the Cerebro helmet. The figure has pin-less arms and legs.

Hasbro did not give a specific pre-order date for this Target exclusive but likely it will go up in the February 2025 time frame.

It should also be noted that during Hasbro's Fan-Stream on Friday they did confirm we would be seeing more Savage Land based characters in 2025. Dwight started to spite ball names and said the four armed guy who is named Barbarus. Whether that is a figure we see in 2025 or not, I guess we will have to wait and see.

Also their have been rumors (Not my rumor) floated that we could see a X-Men 97 Professor X with Hoover Chair released in 2025. That has not been confirmed by Hasbro but IF the rumor turns out to be true I would not be surprised if we don't end up seeing this figure again with the chair released.

[JayC]

Hasbro this past Friday officially announced their new Marvel Legends Spider-Man figure which is based on the 1977 The Amazing Spider-Man live-action series which originally aired on CBS. The series which started with a 90 minute movie that served as a back-door pilot for the series saw two seasons and it stared Nicholas Hammond as Spider-Man/Peter Parker. The 90-minute movie was titled simply Spider-Man but when it became an actual series they renamed it The Amazing Spider-Man like the comic. However in the second season they shortened the name back to just Spider-Man.

The figure which will be released as a Walmart exclusive will include an extra pair of hands, 2 web splat effects which I believe are plastic and a string webline. In the series whenever Spider-Man shot his webs out it looked like he was just shooting rope which is what the string is mimicking. The figure has a new head, belt and web-shooter bracelet on the right arm. It has pin-less arms and legs. The figure will be come in windo-box packaging with a throwback to the show.

Hasbro did not give a pre-order date for this one other than to say it would be available sometime in 2025. These type of exclusives generally are first made available during the Walmart Collector-Con events. We expect the next one of those to kick off either in late February or early March time frame.

Hopefully this figure will be the first of several Marvel Legends figures based on older live-action Marvel shows like the 1978 Incredible Hulk series on CBS which starred Bill Bixby as David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk. Do you think there is enough demand from fans to support figures based on these old TV shows? Let us know in the COMMENTS SECTION.

[Psychosomatic]

I look at this figure and the Wonderman figure that uses a lot of the same parts and can't help but think how easy it would be for Hasbro to produce a 1970's Blade. 

[JayC]

Hasbro on Friday officially announced their Spider-Man: No Way Home Marvel Legends Lizard figure which will be released as an Amazon exclusive. They did not give a specific date for when the figure will be available other than to say later this month. Since the new Spider-Man Retro Cardback wave will be going up for pre-order next week on December 12, my guess is Lizard will go up for pre-order on Amazon sometime the following week.

This figure will features new pin-less arms and legs. It will include alternate clawing hands, open yelling and normal headsculpts, along with articulated tail. The figure also features pivoting ankles, tons of texture and oversprays and washes to bring out the depths of browns and greens. The figure is tall and towers over Spider-Man.

In the stream Dan Yun said their would be another No Way Home Villain coming to the line next year. While Hasbro has not officially confirmed it yet, that figure should be a No Way Home Electro figure which will feature alternate hands and large lightning effects similar to those included with the new Electro (Francine Frye) figure.

Also for you Spider-Man movie fans, while again not yet confirmed by Hasbro, we should see the release in 2025 of a new Spider-Man 3 Tobey Maguire Symbiote Suit Spider-Man figure that will include masked and unmasked heads, 3 pairs of hands and what looks to be a Venomish fanged symbiote head shoulder piece.

When a specific pre-order date is given for the Spider-Man: No Way Home Marvel Legends Lizard figure, we will be sure to update you here.

[Air-Walker]
