Hasbro Unveils New Figures During Hasbro Pulse’s Marvel Legends Fanstream
by Gary Catig
On the most recent Hasbro Pulse’s Marvel Legends Fanstream, the toy company revealed several upcoming action figures arriving this fall. There was a variety of characters drawing from film, television, and comics.
Some of the newly announced products draw inspiration from previously released films. From Deadpool and Wolverine is the Cavillrine — a Wolverine variant resembling actor Henry Cavill. It comes with an alternate head and two alternate hands to display him with or without claws.
The next two figures are based off of concept art from the film. First, there is Wolverinepool (Concept Art) which is exactly as it sounds. The blending of the two superheroes also comes with two alternate hands for posing with and without claws.
The other is Deadpool (Concept Art) wearing a white uniform with a X-Men logo on his chest harness. He comes with 11 accessories including six alternate hands, two katanas, knife, and two weapon accessories.
Appearing from Thunderbolts* are the Valentina Allegra De Fontaine and Marvel’s The Void two-pack. The Void will also have alternate hands while Valentina will have an alternate head, four alternate hands, cell phone, and a weapon accessory.
Another figure revealed on the stream is a Spider-Man from the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home. He comes with two alternative hands and an alternate partially-masked head, which looks really cool.
Then, from television is X-Men ’97, is Marvel’s Beast. He comes with alternate head, two alternate hands, goggles, and a backpack.
The remaining announcements are comic book related action figures. Since Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives next month, Hasbro decided to release Marvel’s Scorpion and Boomerang as separate releases. Scorpion comes with an alternate head that allows either his original masked look or a later costume design and a bendy-wire tail. Boomerang comes with alternate head, two alternate hands, and two boomerangs.
Secret Wars Doctor Doom has three alternate hands, two blasters, and a “secret” shield based on the original action figure releases. He also comes in special packaging with retro-inspired design and character art work.
Maybe not quite as popular is Doc Sampson. He tried to cure the Hulk by siphoning off some of the gamma radiation. In the process, he was exposed and obtained powers as well as flowing green hair. The figure has the hair along with an alternate head and two alternate hands.
Finally, here is another deep pull: Cypher, who appeared in the New Mutants & X-Men comic. He comes with four alternate hands and his Techno-Organic sword.
