Hasbro held its Marvel panel at San Diego Comic-Con today. During the panel, Hasbro confirmed that 2013 will be the year of the mini-Build-a-Figure, with Hit-Monkey being the first. They also teased that there would be one Iron Man Legends wave, with a normal oversized BAF.

We covered the Hasbro Marvel Legends Avengers 6-inch figures in our last post, but we all know that Hasbro’s bread and butter is in the 3.75-inch scale that they’ve dominated for decades with Star Wars, G.I. JOE, and more recently, Marvel Universe. So it’s no surprise that with two summer tentpole releases with the Avengers and the Amazing Spider-Man coming out in 2012, that Hasbro would have accompanying 3.75-inch lines.
