Toy Fair 2014: Hasbro Reveals Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends Movie Figures

Hasbro Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Infinite Legends teaser poster

Our good pal Paul wrote in with the heads up that Hasbro has revealed the Marvel Infinite Legends movie figures for Guardians of the Galaxy through Yahoo.  Hasbro will be giving out a teaser poster for the line at Toy Fair starting this weekend – it features Gamora, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, and Groot, in a homage to the first teaser image released for the movie.

The figures will be available single-carded, and Hasbro will stick with the Build-a-Figure concept. This time, it’s Build-a-Groot. Look for these on shelves in July for $19.99 each.

Interested in the poster? Yahoo is giving away three of them. Details below.

Reminder – AFP Free Stuff Giveaway: Captain America vs. Spider-Man Marvel Legends Bundles – Ends Friday

With the Captain America: the Winter Soldier line-up revealed and Toy Fair coming up this weekend, it’d be easy to miss our big Captain America vs. Spider-Man Marvel Legends giveaway. We’ve got three two-figure bundles from the latest waves of Marvel Legends, each featuring a Cap and a Spidey.

  • Marvel Now Cap vs Scarlet Spider
  • WW2 Cap vs Amazing Spider-Man (movie)
  • WW2 Cap vs Superior Spider-Man

Now we all know Cap and Spidey should be friends, but sadly that pairing won’t make it in the movies until Sony lets the rights revert back to Marvel Studios – and with the success of the Amazing re-boot, that’s not likely to happen soon. So for now, it’s just action figures.

You can enter on the original giveaway page, or for your convenience, the contest widget is below. Good luck!

Toy Fair 2014: Hasbro Reveals Full Captain America: The Winter Soldier Line-Up

Captain America Marvel Legends Infinite Series 2

Their Toy Fair event is just a couple days away (and sadly, weather may prevent me from making it this year), but Hasbro is still sharing high res photographs and product info on the Captain America: The Winter Soldier product line. Winter Soldier is the first ofthree Marvel tentpole movie releases this year, opening April 4.

We’ve now got nice clear pics of wave 2 of the Captain America Marvel Infinite Series 6-Inch Legends line (I’ll call it Cap Legends to save some stress on my keyboard) and the rest of the line, including the 3.75-inchers and role play. While most of the kid-oriented toys are of limited interest to me, I’m glad Hasbro has figured out how to leverage the Marvel movies to get us more 6-inch Legends. So far, so good!

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Variants – Sentry, Bulldozer, and Bob

This week I’m highlighting a few Marvel Legends variants that Hasbro had planned (or should have planned) to make, before the variant swaps fell through for the line.

  • Marvel Legends Sentry by Eddie_grayce – Sentry was to have been the variant to Hyperion, which would have made it two Superman analogues released in that wave – much like Superman, once you have an all-powerful being in the comics, you have a tough time finding interesting challenges for him – luckily for Marvel, they didn’t have much invested, so Sentry’s heel turn in Dark Avengers let them eventually kill him off (and give him a shot at other incarnations) – ends Feb 13, 2014 15:15:06 PST
  • Marvel Legends Bulldozer by Toycooker – Bulldozer was originally intended to come out as a variant to the Wrecker – I hope if Hasbro finds a way to release this variant they’ll reconsider the classic version with a little less hardware around the neck – ends Feb 12, 2014 08:31:53 PST
  • Marvel Legends Bob, Agent of Hydra by glennwebman69 – this custom is such a relatively simple one that I’m surprised Hasbro didn’t make a chase Bob figure with the Hydra agent from the Captain America Marvel Legends Infinite Series – ends Feb 16, 2014 16:20:08 PST

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
