Soapbox Sunday: Did Hasbro Miss Their Best Chance to Release the Marvel Legends Bulldozer?

The Wrecking Crew

In just a couple of weeks, it will have been two years since Hasbro first showed us the Wrecker and Bulldozer, and gave Wrecking Crew fans the hope of completing that foursome in their Marvel Legends collections. We had gotten Thunderball and Piledriver as variant swaps in an earlier wave, and the plan was to do the same for the remaining pair by the middle of 2013.

But while the Wrecker made it to shelves, retailers threw Hasbro a curveball, necessitating a rebranding plan to tie Marvel Legends more closely to the Marvel movies. And we’ve been waiting for the fourth and final member of the Wrecking Crew ever since.

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Nomad, Gamecock, Brother Voodoo, and Black Talon by Rabid_Ewok

If you’re a fan of Z-list Marvel heroes and villains, then this edition of Border Patrol is for you. Rabid_Ewok submitted these four Marvel Legends customs for CustomCon 38, in his Marvel Legends Infinite Face Off Twin Packs entry. Now you can add them to your own collection!

They’re some of the cleanest customs I’ve seen in a while, and you can bet that there’s no way Hasbro will ever get this far into the Marvel depth chart, even if one of them is a legitimate Captain America variant.

Spoiler Alert – Hasbro Making Action Figures for Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Alright, the headline was totally tongue in cheek – because just as soon as the latest sequel plans for Star Wars were announced, we all knew that Hasbro was firing up their money-making machines with plans for a slew of supporting toys. But even though we’ve got a year before the movie hits theaters, Star Wars toy sites are buzzing with an image showing prototypes of Star Wars: The Force Awakens action figures leaked at a Chinese forum.

Now, I was completely unable to avoid the trailer (and have some trailer treats for you below), but I have been avoiding movie news in the hopes of remaining as spoiler free as possible. Still, there’s some information that we can glean from the prototypes that tells us about the action figure line, while not spoiling anything we didn’t already know from official Star Wars sources. Let’s take a look.
