Hasbro Reveals Whole Roster of New Marvel Legends Figures Kyle Anderson | usagoldmines.com

In the past few years, I’ve developed a problem. An obsession, really. I cannot get enough of Hasbro’s Marvel Legends figures. I’m specifically into the comic book-style characters, but it’s hard not also to appreciate the movie and TV versions of various Marvel heroes and villains. Luckily for people like me, and unluckily for our limited space and the fullness of our wallets, Hasbro releases dozens of figures every year. 2025 is already off to a great start with the latest Hasbro Pulse stream announcing a wave of “mini comics” figures as well as the last Spider-Man: No Way Home villain straggler and a fancy schmancy new line.

Let’s start with the mini comics figures, which have been animated in stop-motion form in the following video from Plastic Action. They each come with a tiny accessory of a comic book in which they appeared. That’s cute.

The wave features an interesting mix of characters both brand new to the line and given different looks. From most exciting (to me) to least exciting, we start with Rom the Spaceknight. This is a very obscure character to people born after a certain time. Because it began life as a toy which Marvel subsequently published comics about, they didn’t own the character outright. This is the same thing that happened with Micronauts. Recently, Marvel acquired the rights to print omnibus and Epic Collection versions of both titles, which then means we get new toys also!

Adam Warlock

Next up in terms of exciting is Adam Warlock as he appeared in the pages of Jim Starlin’s eponymous series as well as his landmark Infinity Gauntlet saga. It’s a very rad classic look for Him. He even comes with the Infinity Gauntlet itself.

Daken, aka Dark Wolverine

Now, we’ve had roughly 19 million Wolverine figures over the years, and like ten last year alone. So another Wolverine isn’t necessarily all that exciting. But this is dark Wolverine, aka Daken, Logan’s son who was a villain who then joined Norman Osborn’s Dark Avengers. That’s pretty cool, and you can see his tattooed arms, claw-machine-style claws, and rad haircut.

Ultimate Miles Morales

It’s always awesome to see a Miles Morales figure, and between Spider-Verse and the Sony Spider-Man video games, we’ve gotten a few in the past few years. But this one is specifically an Ultimate version of Miles and he looks great. Very excited for this one.

Ultimate Iron Man

I haven’t counted, but if push came to shove, Wolverine and Iron Man would be tied for number two in amount of figures we get every year. (Spider-Man is undisputed number one.) The thing that gives Iron Man the edge often is that he has a wide variety of suit styles. For this wave, we get Ultimate Iron Man from the Ultimate universe and it’s a pretty singular suit, so that’s neato keeno swell.

Banshee

So, this is a character I love in his most iconic suit. Straight from the immortal Giant-Size X-Men #1 from 1975, we have Banshee in his green and yellow suit. The problem is it’s just a repaint of the blue and yellow ’90s suit we got from Marvel Legends a few years ago, and it even has the same two head sculpts. So, unless you absolutely need to recreate that original 1975 lineup, this will be one I probably pass on.

All of this wave will hit all mainline retailers including Hasbro Pulse and will go up for pre-order February 6 at 1pm ET.

X-Factor Jean Grey

Next up will be a Target exclusive in the U.S. To continue the line of retro-carded X-Men figures, we have a Jean Grey in her green and yellow X-Factor costume. This comes just after the blue and yellow X-Factor Cyclops went up for pre-order a few weeks ago.

Spider-Man: No Way Home Electro

Slowly but surely Marvel Legends has released all of the villains we see in Spider-Man: No Way Home and the last of those is Jaime Foxx’s much-improved version of Electro. Hasbro always does a great job with actors’ face sculps and this is no exception. Tons of electricity effects and just an overall good look.

Maximum Spider-Man

And finally we have the opening volley for a brand new line for Hasbro Marvel Legends. The Maximum line will offer more accessories, more points of articulation, a more varied complement of hands and heads, and with it (likely) a higher price point. This seems to me like Hasbro’s attempt to compete with the higher-end figure companies like Bandai’s SH Figuarts and MAFEX. Even so, it’s an interesting move. For the first figure, we get, who else, but Spider-Man. This one with his ’90s McFarlane-drawn look.
