SDCC 2014: Hasbro Marvel Legends Preview Night

For those of you wondering what’s in store for Marvel Legends for the rest of this year, it’s going to be limited to retailer exclusives until new waves for the Avengers and Spider-Man hit shelves in first quarter next year. On preview night, we got a glimpse at the previously announced X-Men Legends wave that is exclusive to Previews.

The only thing new I spotted in the case is a three-pack that will be exclusive to Target this fall, containing Captain America (a rehash of the Ultimate Cap with harness instead of vest), Ms. Marvel (in her Warbird costume on the Moonstone body), and Radioactive Man. The good news here is that some of those figures from the Jubilee wave that never made it to mass market retail are starting to make it to shelves.

Friday Freebie: Captain America Marvel Legends Infinite Series Wave 2.1 (Loose)

It’s time for another AFP Free Stuff giveaway! This time around, we’ve got the second wave of the Captain America Marvel Legends Infinite Series, which ironically ends with this wave. The prize will include all four figures in the wave, shipped loose: Black Widow, the Winter Soldier, and two versions of Cap. They’ll come with any extra heads, hands, and accessories, but will *not* have the SHIELD Mandroid build-a-figure parts. If you’re still looking for Mandroid parts, you can pick up the Captain America Marvel Legends Action Figures Wave 2 Rev. 1 at Entertainment Earth – EE will ship it for free in the US.

We’ll have one lucky winner this time around, and to keep it simple we’ll run the contest on Facebook. Here’s how:

Hot Toys (Finally) Reveals Falcon from Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Hot Toys took their time revealing the last of the four major characters from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. We’ve seen a couple versions of Captain America, an updated Black Widow, and the title character, the Winter Soldier. Now, weeks after the movie’s opening, we’re finally getting a look at the Falcon. Hot Toys posted a couple of Falcon teaser shots at the end of last week, but here’s the full deal.

I think they did a bang-up job with the Ultimates-inspired costume – the wings, the military garb, and the goggles all look spot-on. I’m having a tougher time matching up Anthony Mackie with the head sculpt. It does look like him from some angles, but I think there’s something off with the shape of his forehead that’s throwing it from other angles. We’ll see if Hot Toys reworks it while it goes through production, like they have with so many other figures.

Get Your Personalized S.H.I.E.L.D. ID Card for Free!

Do you remember the eFX SHIELD Badge and ID Card from NYCC? One of the perks of getting the NYCC exclusive was a personalized SHIELD ID card – all you had to do was send in your picture and your name / vital stats and BAM, SHIELD agent with a card to prove it. Of course, you had to buy the SHIELD badge too, and that was $50. Now Cafepress has gone even further – they are offering a customized SHIELD ID card for free as a promotion for Captain America: The Winter Soldier! Or, nearly free, as it were. You’ve still got to pay the shipping, which is a a buck and change or more depending on where you are. It’s pretty simple – you just upload your photo and enter your info.

This version of the SHIELD ID has a red border, while the ID cards featured on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. show are gold. But that doesn’t matter to you, right? I mean, free is free! Today’s a great day to pick one up – Cafepress is also running promotions this weekend on all their customized gear. Now if only someone would produce customized HYDRA ID cards, I’d be set.
