Caliban (2019 Build-A-Figure)
One of the consistently best affordable toy lines on the shelves is Hasbro's Marvel Legends. The line pumps out some incredibly detailed articulated figures based on some of Marvel's most famous and infamous characters. From Deadpool to Infinity War to Venom and more, Marvel Legends sure does produce some memorable and cool-looking collectibles.
While Marvel Legends is the flagship line for Hasbro, the toy manufacturer also has other Marvel-based lines in stores now and a few more coming soon, including Marvel Rising as well as tie-in figures to the upcoming movie Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.
During New York Comic-Con, GameSpot spoke with Marketing's Ryan Ting and Design's Bobby Vala about the new toys from Hasbro's numerous Marvel lines. Check out everything coming out in the upcoming months, some of which is on sale now.
The Deadpool Scooter
"Deadpool scooter comes with this great sticker sheet so that you can then customize your scooter," explained Vala. "A bunch of cool, fun stickers that we got on there. Bullet holes, you know, 'I love Logan' stickers, very cool fun stuff that really ties in with the character."
Professor X
Vala said this is the first time Hasbro has shown off the Cerebro helmet for the upcoming Professor X figure, which will hit stores in Spring 2019.
Hail Hydra Two-Pack
"This is a nice update to Arnim Zola," said Vala. "And we paired them up with the Supreme Leader Hydra Captain America from the Secret Wars storyline. Very fun two-pack."
Ting explained they are currently available for preorder at GameStop and Entertainment Earth.
The Black Order
"In the center here--possibly the biggest reveal--we have the final Black Order team so we have Thanos, Cull Obsidian, and Proxima Midnight, with Mark 50 Iron Man that were out earlier this year for Infinity War. And now, we're missing two members of the Black Order and that was Corvus Glaive and Ebony Maw, who you see here. They are gonna be all new figures for 2019."
These figures will be sold separately.
Marvel Rising Line
Hasbro's latest Marvel line ties into the new Disney XD animated series, Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors. "So I know that part of the story and the background is kind of that dual identity, you know, these are teenagers who live in the real world but they also happen to be superheroes, and so the design team, I believe, tried to incorporate that duality and that kind of dual identity aspect into it," Vala explained. "There's actually an assortment that we don't have here at the show, but it has alternate outfits for Ghost Rider and, I believe, Squirrel Girl as well, so we kinda tie that into it.
"For what we see here--the $19.99 core assortment here--it's really bringing their powers to life with the squirrel friend there, you've got some power effects for America Chavez and Quake. And this was the first time that Hasbro, I believe, has gotten to do soft goods and rooted hair in Marvel dolls. So we think that will really tie well into the entertainment and appeal to fans of that ... you know, fans of all ages, really."
