M.A.S.K. Blind Bag Variants Available Now

The newest addition to the Energon Universe, M.AS.K., was released today, and in celebration Skybound, alongside the regular releases and variants, they are releasing blind bag variants. There are three different comics you could possibly get in the bags, only one of which is actually M.A.S.K.#1. Normally, I wouldn’t buy a blind bag but I…

The Decepticons are Stuntin On Them! G2 Menasor Preorder Now Live

I almost completely missed the G2 era of Transformers. The only portion I remember is the rerelease of the original series with the animatronic Optimus and the little kid. I never saw any of the toys on the shelves, but I also was more into TMNT around that time. If I had looked, I would…

Squadron Supreme! Hasbro Reveals Hyperion/Doctor Spectrum Two-pack

Time to start a new team! Today Hasbro has revealed their new two-pack with Hyperion and Doctor Spectrum. Hyperion previously had a figure released years back in the Hulkbuster wave(?) I think.

The Maestro Makes His Return To Legends

Getting into collecting when I did, I missed out on some incarnations of some characters. Luckily, Hasbro has been revisiting older figures and giving them modern updates. Maestro was previously released during the Toy Biz era of Legends. This new deluxe version looks to be leagues better with modern tooling. I have to confess, I…

Marvel Legends Series She-hulk Up For Preorder

Last years Superskrull wave She-hulk figure was one of my favorite releases last year. While it wasn’t the classic She-hulk everyone wanted, but it was a great figure nonetheless. So it comes as no surprise that Hasbro is revisiting the figure with a new deco and some added accessories. The new head sculpt evokes the…

Hasbro Officially Reveals New Marvel Legends Firestar

For today’s Marvel Monday, Hasbro revealed the new Marvel Legends Firestar figure. To my knowledge this is the first Firestar figure in the Marvel Legends line. Whether you know Firestar from the old Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends cartoon, this figure gives you two head sculpts for whichever your fandom for her originated. Completing the…

House of X Legends Wave and More Official Images

Today Hasbro showed us the packaged images of the next X-men wave of Legends based on the House of X storyline. They revealed the figures a little while back during a livestream, but didn’t send out promotional images until now. If you’re looking at the packaging and thinking someone made a mistake, they didn’t. That…

Into The Spider-verse Legends Reveals

Friday had their livestream showing off the upcoming Into the Spider-verse wave of Marvel Legends. This will be the first time, I believe, that we will be getting a wave highlighted by characters from an animated property using the designs from the animation. This version is much closer to how he appeared in the film….

Extra! Extra! Hasbro Reveals New Retro Marvel Legends J. Jonah Jameson

Hasbro’s Retro Marvel Legends line must be pretty successful now. We are consistently getting new figures from the line. It seems, however that we are only getting one full wave at retail and other figures as online or retailer exclusives. That is probably because the first run of figures, being mostly repaints, quickly found their…

Hasbro Officially Reveals New Studio Series Figures And More on Fan First Friday

I am big Transformers fan. I prefer to collect the Masterpiece figures, but the price tag keeps going up and I am finding myself unwilling to plop down my hard earned cash for a figure that will sit on a shelf while I am at work all day. I understand the rising cost of plastic…

Hasbro Reveals New Children of Thanos Box Set

I don’t think anyone saw this set coming, though if you think about it, it was a fairly obvious move. Hasbro revealed yesterday that they will be releasing, as an Amazon exclusive, a box set featuring Thanos and his kids. These figures have all been previously released, but Hasbro has updated the sculpts and given…
