This weeks Marvelous Custom was done by talknnerdy2u who has created a custom Marvel Legends Blackheart BAF Wave Mephisto figure. This was originally done as for an April's Fools prank at the beginning of the month, but you have to love the detail with the packaging and all. The image with the Mephisto with belt piece is their deluxe version. Check out the images below in our GALLERY and let us know what you think about their work in the COMMENTS SECTION below. If you would like to submit a custom of your own creation to be featured in an upcoming MARVELOUS CUSTOM segment you can post your work on our FORUMS.

Billy and Troy Brownfield let us know that they discovered at their local Target in Indiana the new Marvel Legends movie based Shang-Chi and comic based Tony Stark AI figures. These are part of the Shang-Chi Mr. Hyde Build-A-Figure wave which will be a mix of movie and comic book based figures. While it's very surprising to already be seeing these hit Target stores, the weird thing is that this Target only seemed to get just solid cases of these two figures. Hasbro often offers retailers solid cases for certain figures, but generally only the smaller retailers will order those. It's unusual to see a big box store like Target order solid cases. Billy says the figures scanned up with individual codes in the Target system as opposed to the normal assortment code. There were 5 Shang-Chi figures and 6 AI Tony Stark figures. The Shang-Chi movie is due out in theaters on September 3, 2021, so generally figures like these wouldn't be out until a month or so before the movies release. Of course the movie was originally supposed to be out earlier this year and got delayed due to COVID, which I am sure has screwed up the distribution for these figures. Still Hasbro hasn't even officially announced the Shang-Chi movie figure, and as we reported yesterday, the movie figures in the wave due contain some movie SPOILERS. Shang-Chi himself isn't really that spoilerish and the AI Stark figure is comic based, so I suppose it's possible Hasbro made special arrangements to start shipping the figures out in parts to the big box retailers, starting with the non-spoilers ones. However if that were the case you would think the Civil Warrior figure which is another non-movie figure in the wave would also be hitting stores now. I guess only time will tell how wide spread the release of these two figures actually are and when we will start seeing the rest of the figures in the wave hit shelves as well. Thanks to Billy and Troy for the heads up and image of their find.

Yesterday as most of us were tuned in to see what new Hasbro reveals that were to be had from the Hasbro Fan Fest event, new images for the upcoming Shang-Chi wave began popping up on social media. The figures apparently have started showing up for sale . Since the people passing these images around on social media never bother to give credit to the original source, it's very hard to say for sure where these are being found, but some of the images definitely show the figures being sold with $23 price tags on them. We had seen some initial images for this wave pop up last week, but the new images showing up online give us much better look at the figures in the entire wave as well as the bio's on the back of the package. Since this wave is a mix of comic and Shang-Chi: The Legend Of The Ten Rings movie figures, I am breaking up this news post in to two different ones. I am keeping this post SPOILER FREE in order to give folks who don't want to see movie spoilers our first best look at the Build-A-Figure in the wave which is a comic book based Mr. Hyde figure. Below you will see an image from the back of the package for one of the figures in the wave that shows the figure fully assembled. The other image is a close up of the actual figure which was taken by someone who obviously purchased the wave and assembled the figure. Why they only posted a close-up IDK. The image was posted by rektangular, but I don't think he is the one that actually has the figures in hand. In my second post I will go into more detail about the actual figures in the wave and the SPOILERS they reveal about the upcoming movie. The Shang-Chi movie isn't due in theaters until September 3, 2021, so I don't expect the movie figures to be officially released until later this summer, but with them apparently already seeing some kind of limited release, it's only a matter of time be fore we start seeing more and more images of these.

Yesterday new images started showing up online for Hasbro's upcoming Shang-Chi Marvel Legends wave which contain a mix of both comic book based and Shang-Chi: And The Legend Of The Ten Rings figures. I have broken this post up into two parts, one that is non-Spoiler giving us our first best look at the Build-A-Figure for the wave which is a comic book based Mr. Hyde figure. This post which does contain MOVIE SPOILERS is to show you the new images of the actual movie figures as well as the back of the packages revealing the bio's for the characters. Last week we had seen some initial images for the wave leak out, but we didn't see the character bio's. So first this is how the entire Shang-Chi wave breaks down: -Shang-Chi (Movie) -Death Dealer (Movie) -Wenwu (Movie) -Xialing (Movie) -Iron Man (Tony Stark AI) (Comic) -Civil Warrior (Comic) Again the Build-A-Figure for the wave is Mr. Hyde (Comic). Hasbro officially revealed the comic book Civil Warrior and Tony Stark AI figures back in February. So now for the movie based figures. It's funny because you can tell that most people posting these images on social media really don't care about the figures themselves, they are more interested in posting about the movie spoilers to be had in the figure bio's on the back of the packages. Also because people on social media never bother to give credit to the original source, it's hard to determine who the original person to post these was. The images seem to originate from multiple people and you can see the figures in one of the images have $23 price tages, so someone is actually selling these in a store some place. The movie isn't due out until September 3, 2021, so I don't expect the figures to be officially released until later this summer. Anyway lets get to the bio's and the MOVIE SPOILERS to be had in them. When we first heard about the terrorist group The Ten Rings in the original Iron Man movie, most assumed this would end up being an organization run by Iron Man's arch-nemesis in the comics The Mandarin, who of course wears 10 mystical rings that given him his powers. Later in Iron Man 3 we learned the MCU Mandarin wasn't really the big bad guy he was in the comics. Well now we are learning that the Ten Rings Organiztion is actually run by Shang-Chi's father Wenwu. Here is how the figure bio for Wenwu reads. Wenwu Shang-Chi's father Wenwu is the feared leader of the Ten Rings Organization, which has lurked in the shadows of the MCU since the very beginning. Shang-Chi Trained since childhood by the mysterious Ten Rings Organization, Shang-Chi must confront the past he thought he left behind when he is drawn back into his father's web. Xialing When her estranged brother Shang-Chi suddenly shows up in her life, Xialing must choose between the solitary life she has created for herself or join her brother in the fight against the Ten Rings. Death Dealer Death Dealer is one of the most formidable oppents Shang-Chi has ever faced. I see some online declaring Wenwu the MCU's real Mandarin, with the one we saw in Iron Man 3 only being a fake imposter. Whether that actually turns out to be the case in my mind remains to be seen, but I guess time will tell.

Shown below via troycollectstoys are in-hand images for the new 6" Marvel Legends Classic Richard Rider Nova figure with Qubit from Hasbro. This figure out of the blue apparently is already dropping at EBGames stores in Canada. Here in the US the figure will be sold as a Walgreens exclusive, but no word on when it might start showing up, though I expect soon. The next figure slated for release in this cosmic themed Walgreens/EBGames line is Quasar which is supped to be released in late spring. Check out the in-hand Nova images below and happy hunting.

Revealed today via Marvel is our first official look for the upcoming Marvel Legends 6" Baron Zemo figure from Hasbro. Last week we saw the Walmart exclusive John Walker Captain America figure revealed which is still available for pre-order. Zemo is part of the regular wave of Disney+ Marvel Legends figures that will feature figures of Winter Soldier, John Walker, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Vision and Loki from the upcoming Loki series. This wave will have a build-a-item as opposed to a Build-A-Figure which will be Falcon's wings. We saw official images for Scarlet Witch and Vision revealed a few weeks ago and images for Walker, Winter Soldier and this Zemo leaked out the other week. You can check those out here, but caution for SPOILERS from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Disney+ series. Check out the new images below.

For a long time now Marvel Legends collectors have been asking Hasbro to give their female Marvel Legends figures double-jointed elbows. Something for the most part Hasbro even today seems very reluctant to do. Well it looks like the folks working over on Hasbro's 6" G.I. Joe Classified line have no such qualms about giving the female characters double-jointed elbows. Thanks to Douglas who has posted an in-hand image for the new Classified Lady Jaye figure, we can she that she very much has double-jointed elbows, and she doesn't even have sleeves to remotely cover them up. So what do you think after seeing this figure, should Hasbro give all their 6" Female figures double-jointed elbows including the ones in the Marvel Legends line?

Thanks to a heads up from JTPrime we have a new mysterious Marvel Legends listing that has started to pop up on one of the Amazon sites. This one is listed as: I HAVE KNOW IDEA WHAT THIS IS at this time. Indications from the title is that it might be some kind of 2-pack for something jungle themed. The price which is in Euros seems hefty as that would translate to around $150 US. If the set is Jungle themed, the first thing that comes to my mind is something from the Savage Land. Based on the price, if that is accurate another possibility I could see is a 2-pack featuring one of Jack Kirby's creations with Moon Boy and Devil Dinosaur. Hasbro did do a Moon Boy figure a few years back as part of the 4" Marvel Universe line. So I could seem them possibly doing a 6" version flocked with his larger Dinosaur companion. Keep in mind this is all PURE speculation at this point. Jungle could simply be a misleading code name to hide the true identity for whatever this is. It's also unclear at this time if this is something that will be a general release or possibly an Amazon exclusive. When more details become available we will be sure to pass them on to you.

Well we got a f*#@ed up version of Jean Grey's House of X ML so I decided to kitbash... The head is from the 2 pack dark phoenix alt head, thighs and legs from white rabbit, and boots from spiderwoman. I pealed of the mask from the original head and decided to just make it as an accessory for her to hold.

A new 6" Marvel Legends set has gone up for pre-order on Amazon.com. The set is only listed as Marvel MVL Legends Infinity 10 AVN4 with a $59.99 price tag and an August 1, 2021 release date. While the set is currently available for actual pre-order, no other details or images have been provided. Now you may recall we have told you about this listing before.. Being the set is actually being made available for actual purchase right now on a major retail website (I wonder how many people are willing to pre-order something like this totally sight unseen?), we thought we would go on and share a few more "Unofficially confirmed Rumored" details about this set that we have seen. While I don't have any exact specifics, this set should be based on Avengers: Endgame and feature figures of LXXXV (Mark 85) and Thanos. This should be part of the new "Infinity Saga" Marvel Legends sub-line we've mentioned a few different times is coming. I ASSUME with the $60 price tag the set will be decked out with accessories for Iron Man and Thanos. Whether it features the two with battle damage as they appeared at the end of the movie is unknown, though I wouldn't be surprised if the packaging isn't done in some way to recreate the two's final confrontation from the movie. Note the image below is for general REFERENCE ONLY. Hopefully Hasbro and/or Amazon will release official images and or details on this set very soon, but again being it's now available for pre-order we thought we would give you some idea of what it is your actually getting if you choose to pre-order now. As always though, until Hasbro officially confirms we will treat this as RUMOR.

For you Spider-Man fans, even though we just recently got the Silt-Man Build-A-Figure Marvel Legends wave from Hasbro to start the year off, it looks like there are a fair number of other web-crawler themed figures in the pipeline yet to be officially announced. Of course this year is another Spider-Man movie year so that really shouldn't be a big surprise to you. While we've been pretty confident for a while now that there would be a second wave of regular Spider-Man themed Marvel Legends figures coming from Hasbro this year, we didn't have any specific details about that wave. We still don't know the specific figures being released in the wave or what the build-A-figure will be. According to a list posted over at Fwoosh, it's looking like this wave will be a mix of movie, comic and video game figures. This is how they are breaking it down. F0170 – Assortment UPC: 501099372093 Wave 2 – Unknown (BaF) • F3018 – MCU Figure 7 Shale – 5010993844722 • F3019 – MCU Figure 8 Sulfur – 5010993844739 • F3021 – MCU Figure 9 Methane – 5010993844753 • F3022 – MCU Figure 10 Manganese – 5010993844746 • F3023 – MCU Figure 11 Lodine – 5010993844685 • F3024 – Comic Figure 12 Sandstone – 5010993844708 • F3025 – Gamerverse Figure 13 Sapphire – 5010993844692 So 5 movie figures, 1 comic and 1 video game. Again we have no idea what the Build-A-Figure will be. The wave should be out in September/October time frame while the next movie which is titled Spider-Man: No Way Home is due out in theaters on December 17, 2021. Besides regular release figures, I have seen indications that we will also be getting a number of Retro Carded Spider-Man themed figures this year as well. Figures I have seen slated for the Retro Card treatment include Hobgoblin, Web Man, Shocker, Sandman, Kraven and/or Black Costume Spider-Man. I say and/or for Kraven and Black Costume Spider-Man because i've seen the same product # listing used for both figures at different places. I don't know if one is an error and we will only end up with one of them. It's possible we could still get both even though both figures have been recently released multiple times by Hasbro. The last time we saw figures of Kraven and Black Costume Spider-Man was in a Target exclusive 2-pack which was released a year or so ago. I've even seen some speculation that perhaps Hasbro is getting creative and will release a Kraven figure dressed up wearing the Black Spider-Man Costume, as he did in the Last Hunt storyline. Since there is conflicting information floating around for some of these figures, I would keep this more in the RUMOR category than I normally recommend you do. I should also note on the Sandman that I don't think we ever got that one on a traditional Retro Spider-Man Toy Biz cardback back in the day. I believe the only 5" Sandman we got from Toy Biz was released in a boxset. Of course Toy Biz never did a Web Man figure either. I also don't know what the price on Sandman will be. Since the previous Sandman was released as a Build-A-Figure, I suspect he will cost more than the other Retro figures. How or if any of these actual figures will differ from their original Hasbro Marvel Legends releases is unknown at this time, but I suspect we might start getting some official looks at these next month. Also I am pretty sure the Retro figures will be done as individual releases possibly as Fan Channel exclusives and not as one wave. Again, until Hasbro officially confirms all this we will treat them as RUMORS for now.

We've previously told you how the next X-Men themed wave of Marvel Legends figures coming later this year from Hasbro should include another round of characters from the classic Marvel Comics storyline called Age Of Apocalypse. As you may recall the first wave Hasbro did for this which saw release last year included figures of Wild Child, Dark Beast, Jean Grey, Morph, Nate Grey (XMan), Sunfire and Weapon X. The Build-A-Figure for the wave was Sugar Man. Hasbro also released a stand-alone Deluxe Apocalypse figure as well. So who from the Age Of Apocalypse is going to be in the second wave? All we really know at this point is the wave will include 7 figures and 1 Build-A-Figure. They wave should be out late summer or early fall. F1005 – Assortment UPC: 5010993840021 • F1006 – 5010993839636 • F1007 – 5010993839605 • F1008 – 5010993839599 • F1009 – 5010993839582 • F1010 - 5010993839629 • F1011 - 5010993839612 • F1091 – 5010993839643 Since we don't yet know any of the specific figures in this wave, we thought it would be fun to speculate on possible candidates we would like to see included. NOTE these are purely guesses based on figures we would like to see and should not be considered anything more than that. We do however welcome you to share your own thoughts in the COMMENTS SECTION below letting us know which figures you want included in the wave. Ok so lets start off with the most obvious choice for this wave which is Sabretooth. We got his partner Wild Child in the first wave, so I would be amazed if Hasbro doesn't do this one for the second wave. Sabretooth Next up as being a logical choice is Magneto. In the Age of Apocalypse storyline, Magneto essentially assumed to role left vacant by Professor X who was killed in this reality. It would also be an easy figure for Hasbro to do making slight adjustments to the last red costume Magneto they gave us. Magneto Where Magneto goes Rogue should follow. Since we only got one female figure in the first wave I am thinking we might see the same for the second wave. Rogue Of course after Rogue, I can't help think of Gambit. Back in the day Toy Biz gave us non-Marvel Legends figures of both Rogue and Gambit from Age Of Apocalypse in a 2-Pack. Gambit One I personally would really like to see is Iceman with all the jagged ice sculpting he sported during Age of Apocalypse. Iceman While I don't know how likely it is that they would do him, I think one that would go over well with many fans is Nightcrawler. Nightcrawler Honestly to keep it realistic for this last one I feel I should come up with some version of Wolverine they could do. Maybe a bald version of the one we got in the first wave. Instead I am going to go with another one I would like to see which is Quicksilver. Quicksilver So that's it for my guesses of the regular figures in the wave, but what about the Build-A-Figure? The two most obvious choices to me would be either Colossus or Nemesis. We got a Nemesis Build-A-Figure years ago from Hasbro, but he seemed like a popular choice when people were trying to guess what the BAF in the first wave was going to be. Still for me personally I think I would rather see Colossus. Nemesis Build-A-Figure or Colossus Build-A-Figure So that's it. Like I said before, these are all just GUESSES, but it will be interesting to see how many I get right when Hasbro gets around to officially revealing these. Let us know in the comments which characters from Age of Apocalypse you want to see in figure form?
