Marvel Legends Fan First Livestream with New Reveals for Marvel's 85th Anniversary

Updated: Apr 16

Hasbro's Marvel Legends team hosted an April 15th Fan First Livestream via the Hasbro Pulse YouTube channel with more news and reveals for the Marvel Legends series. The panel was hosted by the usual trio of Dan, Dwight and Ryan



As well as recapping some of the newer reveals like the Deadpool Legacy releases of Deadpool and Wolverine, and the Iron-Man Retro Carded wave.


The panel also provided details of new figures incoming to the line later this year starting with some more Anniversary releases which of course started back in 2018 with the First Ten Years MCU releases and has been an annual event ever since in the Autumn. For 2024 the Anniversary releases will be the 85th Marvel Anniversary and will include a crossover with the Wolverine Anniversary with an Astonishing Wolverine release on a Super-Articulated new body with alternative heads and hands. Wolverine is an April 16th pre-order at mainline retailers.



The next 85th Anniversary release is an updated Warbird Carol Danvers. Carol has two heads, a super articulated body, and alternative hands and she will be a Target US exclusive with Fan Channel availability through the UK including Hasbro Pulse. Details on this pre-order were not revealed.



Spider-Man is also represented with a Superior Spider-Man release including a full backpack with articulated arms as well as alternative hands. Superior Spider-Man has two head options, one of which features a reflective cityscape on the eye visors. Spider-Man is a mainline release and was listed as opening for pre-order on the 16th of April.



The next release was a Deluxe Fan Channel Exclusive with a new Skarr figure. He features two heads, a sword, and a dagger that can be sheathed in a sheath on the rear of his belt. Pre-order for this one will open later this year.



Moving to Multi-Packs there is a new two-pack of Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Iron-Fist comes with a raft of hand options, two heads, and Iron-Fist effect pieces that connect to the clenched fist hands. Luke Cage has two heads, and two pairs of hands - one featuring his knuckledusters. This one is a mainline release with pre-orders on the 23rd of April.



The final reveal is a Danny Ketch Ghostrider with a flaming chain accessory and alternative hands. He also features his Motorbike with fire effects that act as a base and that can also allow the bike to be posed in a 'wheelie position'. Ghost Rider is a mainline release with pre-orders as of the 30th of April 2024.



While six have been revealed, there will be ten of these in total with an Autumn 2024 release. The panel ended with the usual tease which was a large stone piece. A photo shared afterward by Dan Yun also included a further tease (intentional or not) with the apparent open packaging for a new Hulkbuster.



The day after the panel (16th) there was a further confirmation of a Hulkbuster releases as well as a listing for Odin - both named dropped within the Amzaon promotional text for the Superior Spider-Man pre-order

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
