Hasbro's new Avengers: Doomsday Actionverse 4" figures have hit the internet. For those not familiar with Actionverse, these are part of Hasbro's kids lines, not really meant for collectors. However in this case it does give us our first official look at Dr. Doom himself as well as Thor. The original source for these images come from here: - Avengers: Doomsday Actionverse Thor - Avengers: Doomsday Actionverse Dr. Doom on the back of the cardbacks for these we also see Thing and Beast are coming. Those actual figures have not been listed on the actual site though. They also feature 12" Titan Heroes of Dr. Doom and Sam Wilson as Captain America. Sam appears to be wearing the same outfit as he did in the last Captain America movie. The back of the packaging for these show we will also be getting Thor in this scale along with a Human Torch figure.

Onslaught is now sold out though I am sure they will have more at some later time.

Pre-Orders for everything are live https://www.target.com/c/target-geek-out/-/N-vr5jj

Still nothing from Hasbro for time clarification on Onslaught, but the morning Target preview seems to suggest 9am ET pre-order time, so if you want to make sure you can get it then i'd be online then. If by chance it doesn't go up at 9am then we will know why. Sorry I can't be more definitive.

Just to note right now there is confusion on what time tomorrow Onslaught will go up for pre-order. Dan Yun on social media said 9am ET which is the normal Geek-Out time. Hasbro PR however sent out a press release saying Onslaught would go up at 1pm ET while all the other stuff says 9am ET. IDK which is correct but I am trying to get clarification. For now I am gonna assume 9am ET unless I hear otherwise but if it doesnt go up at 9am ET then we know the 1pm ET is the actual time.

Shown below is a look at what will be available tomorrow for Target Summer Geek Out Day 1 from Hasbro. G.I.

The 2026 Summer Walmart Collector-Con event will be taking place the week of San Diego Comic Con. Specifically it will take place on July 23-24. While we didn't see any Hasbro Marvel Legends items offered at the last Collector-Con event this past March, we should see at least one item and maybe more offered this summer. While Hasbro has not yet officially confirmed any figures that will be going up for pre-order during the event, based on leaked listings it looks like we will see a new Marvel Legends Spider-Man Animated Series Retro Cardback version of The Punisher figure offered. Of course until Hasbro officially confirms that, we will treat this as rumor at this time. We will be sure to update you here when the official details become available on what will be going up from Hasbro at Collector-Con.
