Hasbro (Return of) Marvel Legends Wave 3 Packaged Pics

When I wrote my Best Week Ever / Good Toy Karma post (reply to that post for a chance to win Free Stuff!) I was pretty excited to get my Pile of Loot from Big Bad Toy Store with RoML wave 3. Now, what Hasbro told us at SDCC was that this wave is actually a filler wave – they had only planned 2 waves in 2012 to relaunch the line, but because those got bunched up at the start of the year and because sales on those waves were good enough, they put together this third wave. And so that means there’s a heck of a lot of reuse and no build-a-figure – instead you’ll get the stand that was included with the 6-inch Wal-Mart exclusive Avengers, minus the Avengers logo.

Even so, I think this wave will be warmly received. It’s still carrying the positive buzz from the relaunch, and the reuse that’s here is done pretty well. Packaged pics only right now, but I’ll give some comments for each figure despite not having them open yet.

I know – I still have more Comic-Con pics to post. Hasbro revealed two figures from 2013 Wave 2 on Saturday and Sunday. First, a perennial favorite in the Fwoosh Top Ten polls – Jean Grey in her Jim Lee era costume. And to complete the Wrecking Crew, the Wrecker – Bulldozer will be a swap-out figure for Wrecker in that wave.

My first stop on San Diego Comic-Con’s Preview Night was the Hasbro booth – I was so pumped after reviewing the Marvel Legends exclusive Uncanny X-Force 3-pack that I wanted to see what was next for the line.

Sure, I am a Marvel Legends fan, and I love me some Uncanny X-Force – but make no mistake – if you don’t get this exclusive 3-pack, either from Hasbro’s booth at San Diego Comic-Con or from HasbroToyShop.com after the show, you will be sorry.

Mystique, Dr. Doom, and Neo-Classic Armor Iron Man to Round out Marvel Legends Wave 3

Pre-orders at BigBadToyStore.com have revealed the remaining list of figures to be included in Hasbro’s (Return of) Marvel Legends wave 3. We’d previously seen USAgent, Danielle Moonstar, Blade and Punisher, and presume that X-Force Deadpool wills a re-deco of the 2-pack Deadpool figure.

From the listing, we know that Iron Man will be sporting his neo-classic armor, and Dr. Doom is, well, he’s Dr. Doom! So all that’s left to reveal is which version of Mystique we’ll be getting. I’m betting on the version shown above (panel art by Manuel Garcia), that Mike Mayhew immortalized on the covers of Mystique’s solo run. This version would allow re-use of the Black Widow body.

Oh, one more remaining item – who will be the build-a-figure for the wave? I figure we’ll find out at San Diego Comic-Con in a couple of weeks.
