- Review: Marvel Legends Wolverine (Brown Suit) from Deadpool & Wolverine
"Oh! Yes, yes! Classic John Byrne, brown and tan! Now, you've fought the Hulk in this outfit, right?" When Deadpool & Wolverine hit our screens in 2024, it was clear that there was a large raft of characters who took part in the movie who we as collectors might want to join our Marvel Legends display. The first wave for the movie was relatively modest, with figures of Deadpool, Wolverine, and a pack featuring Headpool and a civilian Logan from the early bar scenes. We’ve had to wait until Spring of 2026 for the next batch of Deadpool & Wolverine MCU movie figures, with a full six-figure wave released and headed up by a 7th Deluxe release of Dogpool and Deadpool. From the single boxed wave, our review here looks at one of the many Wolverine/Logan variants we see in the film, this one being the brown-suited Wolverine who is found fighting Hulk. Wolverine (Brown Suit) is packed in the standard Legends box, black in tone, with the Marvel Legends logo at the top left and the movie logo across the bottom, underneath the window. The character name is shown via a side callout, printed to look like a rip in the box. While other Wolverines released so far have not used subtitles, this one does have the text “Brown Suit” in brackets to differentiate it from other releases. To the right-hand side of the box is a full image of Logan, masked, staring directly at the camera. This image is used again, but smaller, on the opposite spine and on the back of the box. The box reverse has a short piece of text that talks about Deadpool finding this Wolverine variant as he starts universe-hopping at the start of the movie. Underneath this, and in another ‘torn out’ panel, is a checklist for the accompanying single-figure wave with headshots of each of the figures included. Brown Suit Wolverine is packed into the usual inner plastic tray, and that is then sat into a folded cardback sleeve. This sleeve is the same as is being used across the entirety of the 2026 wave, a white/grey finish and covered in Deadpool doodles. As these have always focused on the primary characters with pictures of claws, the X-Men logo, and the word ‘Snikt’, they remain apt for this release. While the comic book Legends line has seen this costume before, the figure does not appear to re-use any existing parts and is designed from the ground up to match Hugh Jackman in costume as we find him, albeit briefly, in Deadpool vs Wolverine. The suit is cast to mirror the texture and patterns of the movie suit, with the bulk of it cast in brown, with the yellow panels down the sides neatly painted over the top, complete with black lining and black trim. The arms are covered at the shoulders, then bare skin down to a pair of textured brown gloves with more black trim and a yellow trim at the forefinger. The boots are similar, brown in colour, with a flared top trim that mimics the Wolverine mask. The costume is finished with a deep burgundy leather textured belt with black trim, black clips and a central silver and black X-Men rectangular logo. In the movie, the short scenes featuring this Wolverine have him unmasked, but for this release, Hasbro and their Legends team have taken a different approach. It's quite clever to have included a masked head even without it appearing on screen, predicting that this would be something collectors would want. This head is therefore cast like the costume with the main head covering in a textured yellow, and the front mask a deep black, with white painted eyes. The exposed part of the face uses realistic print technology to add facial hair and detail around the mouth that looks like Hugh Jackman. This masked head is similar in style, finish and colour to the other X-Men yellow-suited Wolverines from the movie, but with a varied expression, teeth gritted. This means you can swap it with other figures as all the neck pegs are compatible. This then leads to the other part of the decision Hasbro has made regarding the head, as there is no unmasked head included. What Hasbro have decided is that us fans would probably prefer the masked look, and for those wanting the screen-accurate unmasked Wolverine, the previous Jackman heads released across the other Deadpool & Wolverine figures, including Logan, can be used to create that look. So, instead of then packing the extra head, they’ve developed and included a variant neck piece so that the collar leads into a skin-toned neck before the head. They’ve then given us a mask piece in softer plastic that can be displayed as though folded back over the head and onto the back of Wolverine, or held in the hand as an accessory. The sole other accessories are the hand choices, with Wolverine arriving with the extended clawed hands with the claws themselves in their usual shape and cast in silver plastic. These can be swapped with a second pair of hands, which feature a clenched right fist and a gripping left hand that can hold the mask. Articulation is 22 points in total, giving Logan a full breath of motion for posing and display. The legs have a robust ankle rocker for stability, followed by dual-joint knees, thigh swivel and ball joint hips. These allow Wolverine to stand, kneel, crouch or prepare for battle. The upper body includes a waist rotation and a ball joint torso, so the abcrunch to have him slightly hunched, ready to strike is there, just not as extensive as you might get with the T-joint we see on the other movie Wolverines from the same collection. The arms have butterfly shoulders, bicep swivels, dual-joint elbows and wrist pivots for an array of positions. And the neck (either piece) is jointed top and bottom to aid in expressions using the masked or donated unmasked head. The short scene, and this follow-up figure, are so nice in terms of giving Hugh Jackman that classic comic book look in a costume arguably nicer than the yellow and blue we see the main Logan wear in the movie. The figure ticks all the boxes for a Marvel Legends in terms of sculpt, decor, and likeness, with a strong articulation setup, save for the torso joint. The decision to only include one head and allow collectors to donate the screen-accurate unmasked head from other releases won’t please everyone, but there are enough of these other heads spare that I can see the logic in developing the mask and neck pieces instead. Purists will argue the set should have included everything it did plus the head, but considering the figure looks new from the ground up I expect that would have ben cost restrictive. Deadpool and Wolverine as a movie is the biggest ensemble of characters we’ve had in the MCU since Endgame, and it is good to see Hasbro are developing figures beyond the movie's 2024 release to do it justice. We do, however, still have gaps, and it will be interesting to see if we get these core gaps filled, or if the route taken is more Deadpool and Wolverine variations. That being said, I would have no issue with a Cavillrine or a Patch Logan, as long as we also fill in the likes of Pyro, Johnny Storm, Elektra, and Gambit, who had more screentime.

- Review: Marvel Legends Cassandra Nova from Deadpool & Wolverine
"The Void is a paradise. I can wield my power here without shame." When Deadpool & Wolverine hit our screens in 2024, it was clear that there was a large raft of characters who took part in the movie who we as collectors might want to join our Marvel Legends display. The first wave for the movie was relatively modest, with figures of Deadpool, Wolverine, and a pack featuring Headpool and a civilian Logan from the early bar scenes. We’ve had to wait until Spring of 2026 for the next batch of Deadpool & Wolverine MCU movie figures, with a full six-figure wave released and headed up by a 7th Deluxe release of Dogpool and Deadpool. From the single boxed wave, our review here looks at the movie’s primary villain, Cassandra Nova. Cassandra Nova is packed in the standard Legends box, black in tone, with the Marvel Legends logo at the top left and the movie logo across the bottom, underneath the window. The character name is shown via a side callout, printed to look like a rip in the box. To the right-hand side of the box is a full image of Cassandra staring directly at the camera. This image is used again, but smaller, on the opposite spine and on the back of the box. The box reverse has a short piece of text which explains her relation to Charles Xavier as his twin sister and her banishment to the Void. Underneath this, and in another ‘torn out’ panel, is a checklist for the accompanying single-figure wave with headshots of each of the figures included. Cassandra Nova is packed into the usual inner plastic tray, and that is then sat in a folded cardback sleeve. This sleeve is the same as is being used across the entirety of the 2026 wave, a white/grey finish and covered in Deadpool doodles. These inserts do focus heavily on Deadpool and Wolverine, rightly so in terms of the movie's main characters, but it would have been a nice touch to see some doodles by DP about Cassandra Nova and how he perceives her. Cassandra is a new figure and is designed on her long-coated look from her initial appearance in The Void when Deadpool, Wolverine, and Johnny Storm are captured and taken before her. The trousers are tan coloured with cloth textures and folds and tuck into a pair of knee-high darker brown boots with sculpted, but unpainted, lace details and a grey sole. The torso is an open white shirt, beneath which is Cassandra’s tan coloured vest, with the ‘X’ design on the straps which cross just under her neck. This torso has been assembled in parts, so the white of the shirt is one piece, and the inner vest is inserted into this, keeping the join between the two crisp and neat compared to what it might look like if the two pieces had to be painted. The coat is another sleeve over the torso, cast entirely in a tan brown with buttons and pockets, the buttons being picked out in a darker brown finish. The arms of the figure replicate that of the coat in both colour and texture, with the hands cast in a pale skin tone. The head sculpt, of which we get just the one, is a blank, serene but intense expression as carried by Cassandra Nova in many of her scenes. There is a facial print application, giving an excellent likeness overall to actor Emma Corrin in costume and with her bald head. Cassandra features four different plain hand options, all cast in a skin tone and featuring a plug-in peg that slots into place easily. These vary from a single clenched fist for her right hand, to a pair of open hands, and a final left hand with two fingers outstretched as though gesturing her mind-powers towards a victim (such as Johnny Storm) or being held to her head to project her will. Suited body not included, this is attached to the Matt Murdock body in these pictures The final accessory is a fifth hand of sorts, but one that is attached to a sculpted head of Mr Paradox. This head, a great likeness to Matthew Macfadyen as he is being tortured, still features all the usual details of a Legends head, including sculpted hair and photo-real printing. The difference here is that Cassandra’s fingers are poking through his face, as seen when she tortures Paradox towards the movie’s finale. Suited body not included, this is attached to the Matt Murdock body in these pictures This is another example in this wave of universe building, and Hasbro's forward thinking on including parts that are compatible with other releases. For Paradox, the head is designed to fit perfectly on a Legends Suited body, and that means if you have a spare or chase down a cheap one like the Matt Murdock body we’ve used (purists may want to paint the tie red), you get two figures out of a single release. The head and hand plug into Cassandra’s arms as normal, with the hand intended to be her left hand as we see in the scenes. In reality, it can work on either side, and I found utilising this hand & head on the right-hand side was perhaps better for display. Juggernaut helmet is an accessory included with X-23 in the same wave as Cassandra Nova In another example of Universe building, the Juggernaut helmet that Deadpool & Wolverine use to subdue Cassandra Nova is included in the X-23 release, so if you have both figures, you can also have the Juggernaut helmet put onto Cassandra Nova to play out that scene. The fit is not great, and I think Hasbro has left the Juggernaut helm suitably generic to fit other figures, but once positioned, it is a nice addition for display on Cassandra. In terms of articulation, Cassandra Nova has 18 points of articulation. Her legs include a full set of joints, benefiting from a bootcut swivel thanks to the assembly process. But the legs are held back by the long coat, and while they keep her posed upright really well, there is not a huge amount more she can do. The arms have sufficient movement to recreate much of Cassandra's gesturing and how she employs her powers, but there is not quite enough bend in the single-jointed elbow to have her holding her own head as we see her do in the movie, a mannerism we also see used by her twin, Charles Xavier. The torso sits on a swivel waist, while, unusually for a Legends figure, the head and neck are a single piece and jointed where the neck plugs into the torso. This allows a good range of movement, but not quite the level we’d have where the neck was jointed top and bottom, which allows the neck to remain stable and the head to be turned or cocked to the side. Cassandra Nova is a very visual release, pretty accurately to the onscreen look, save a layer of weathering of dust from The Void. The long coat look is specific to the first half of her scenes, and considering the coat is removable, perhaps a set of alternative arms might have given us both looks in the same release, considering when she arrives to take control of the Time Ripper and subsequently tortures Paradox, she is without her coat altogether. I do think this might be a figure we see in the future, or at the very least, one the aftermarket 3rd party people might lean into with a set of alternative arms. Articulation is not bad, but the elbows could do with more range to mirror the character's posing with her hands holding her head. And maybe the head should have followed the usual design with neck and head separate and jointed together for a wider range of motion. The Paradox head is both an interesting inclusion and a bold choice, asking collectors to either purchase an older release or to sacrifice one they already own to display Paradox - but then this is perhaps preferable to what would have been a single release of Paradox himself, or a two-pack. With Cassandra in hand, what we now need is some of her goons to display with her. I personally want to see Pyro, Juggernaut and Azazel in terms of how visual each of them is. Roll on more Deadpool & Wolverine figures before we get caught up in the avalanche of further figure options that Doomsday will bring.

- Star Wars Black Series 2-Packs of the Jedi Temple Guards, and the Battlefront Scarif Shoretrooper and Magma Stormtrooper
A retailer in Singapore, The Falcons Hanger, has shared some images on Instagram of a large number of new Hasbro offerings from across their lines, including Marvel, Transformers, and Star Wars. Many of them are items we've seen go up for pre-order this week and are part of the US Target Summer Geek Out event. Among them are images of two unannounced Star Wars Black Series sets. The first, in packaging for Galaxy's Edge or Shop Disney, is a two-pack of Jedi Temple Guards as seen predominantly in The Clone Wars. We cannot see the figures, but the illustration indicates one of these is a variant of the existing release and could well be the Grand Inquisitor before he turned to the Dark Side and operated as a Jedi Temple Guard. Images have been sharpened, straightened, and had their backgrounds removed The other set is a Gaming Greats two-pack from Battlefront containing a Scarif Shoretrooper alongside a Magma Stormtrooper. In the past, these have been retailer exclusives, either Amazon or the Fan Channel. With the Falcon's Hangar having these in hand, these should be announced and start to show up in other areas in the next few months.
