Let's talk about that leg!

5/24/2020

It's the leg seen around the world! I'll get into my thoughts on (what at this point is surely for a Sentinel) the leg later. First let's talk about some of the other items that were talked about during the Marvel Legends Hasbro Pulse live stream from 5/22/2020.

Spider-Man Retro Wave

Personally, I am very excited about this upcoming wave. I loved the Spider-Man cartoon from the 90's, and the packaging really does pull the nostalgia strings.

I'm excited about a plain clothes Peter Parker figure and the newly articulated Spider-Man, but I think the classic look Green Goblin with a Norman Osborn head sculpt is the highlight of the wave for me. I know some people don't like the eyes on Green Goblin, but old Normy is crazy, so it works for me. The figures are up for preorder on Hasbro Pulse now, so be sure to click the image above to get yours if they haven't sold out already.

Deluxe Figures

I am really enjoying Hasbro releasing more deluxe figures. I don't necessarily mind buying an entire wave to get a build-a-figure, but sometimes it's nice to be able to purchase a large figure just buy itself.

Both of these look great! A classic War Machine is long over due, and this upcoming Rhodey looks fantastic! I love that they are using the 80th Anniversary Iron Man as the base, and all of the accessories he comes with look amazing. The James Rhodes flattop head sculpt looks really nice as well.

With the most recent Age of Apocalypse X-Men wave starting to hit shelves, Apocalypse is a must to go with those figures. Not much in the accessory department for Apocalypse, but what he does come with works for me. The skull he comes with looks amazing.

AIM Solider Army Builder

Just like the Hydra soldier from a few months ago, the AIM solider is a must buy for me. I like having generic bad guys available to use for photos, so I definitely made sure to pre-order a few of these guys as soon as they went up.

Moon Knight

I'm very excited about the new all white suit Moon Knight. I love that he is on the Sunfire body mold, and that the accessories are a combination of items reused from the Vulture wave Moon Knight and brand new. I missed the original pre-order for him on the Walgreens website, but I'm sure I'll catch him at some point.

Hawkeye, Nimrod and Rogue

All three of these figures look great, especially the pinless technology in Hawkeye and Rogue. Action figures have come a long way over the years, but every now and then I find myself getting frustrated trying to hide pegs that stick out like a sore thumb when I am taking photos. I'm also very happy with the fact that Nimrod will be coming with a classic head sculpt as well as a more modern one. I love that Hasbro has been trying to cater to all generations of fans with a lot of their recent releases.

Finally, the leg that everyone has been waiting

Hasbro has yet to officially confirm that the first Marvel Legends HasLab project will be a Sentinel, but after seeing the leg prototype to go with the teaser from Toy Fair, it's pretty much a given. I am extremely excited about this. The size of the leg compared to the figures on the desk would put this in the range of 3 feet. That is going to be massive, and collectors are going to scramble to find a place for this on their shelves. I am definitely looking forward to the finished product, and will gladly be backing this HasLab project once it is announced.

Other Items

There were a few others items mentioned but not shown including: more retro wave figures, Into the Spider-Verse figures, and a Build-A-Figure that will be larger than any other BAF Hasbro has ever created. All of these sound promising, but I am definitely interested in the super large BAF. I wonder what it could be?
