SDCC 2014: Hasbro Reveals Marvel Legends Avengers (Odin Build-a-Figure) Wave for 2015

SDCC 2014 Hasbro Marvel Legends Avengers 2015

As promised, the Hasbro Marvel team unveiled the Avengers wave that will join Marvel Legends in 2015. This wave finds a home for the Sentry variant originally planned for Hyperion back in 2013, and the fairly recent Thor that was part of the Jubilee wave before it went exclusive.

They are joined by a much welcomed update to Scarlet Witch (with this figure, I think Hasbro is out to make a point that they can do better than Toy Biz), Machine Man, and the Carol Danvers version of Captain Marvel. I’m glad to see both a masked and unmasked version of Carol for this figure – and it’s nice to see her getting a lot of love in the recent reveals. To round it out, there’s the build-a-figure Odin – by His beard, finally!

You can see the Marvel Legends Avengers 2015 wave in our Hasbro Marvel Legends album. I’ve also included a bunch more shots of the Marvel Legends that were already up during Preview Night.

Marvel Select Storm, Jane Foster, and Lizard on Sale Today Only at Entertainment Earth

Three Marvel Select figures from Diamond Select Toys are on sale for today only. Storm is in her classic, first appearance costume – well, her first appearance after she appeared sans costume showering the farmlands of her home village, where she was considered a goddess. Jane Foster is from Thor: The Dark World and is one half of a matched pair with Thor. Their bases combine to form a larger diorama. And Lizard is from his modern comic appearances.

Prices on Marvel Select have been creeping up (just like with all figures). These are on sale for 35% off, for today only. Happy shopping!

Hot Toys Announces Loki from Thor: The Dark World

Hot Toys Loki - Thor the Dark World 01

Hot Toys announced Thor from the Dark World and an exclusive light armor version two and a half months ago, and it was a bit of a surprise not to have his brother Loki alongside him. Hot Toys has rectified that with this announcement. I hope they continue to work on the likeness of Tom Hiddleston – something seems a bit off in these shots. The Avengers Loki release just seems to capture him better.

I haven’t seen the pre-order yet, but I’d check Sideshow Collectibles for the Hot Toys Loki since they will likely get the exclusive version that includes the Aether accessory.
