Hasbro's Big Marvel SDCC Exclusive Is a Deep Cut Marvel Snap Surprise — GeekTyrant
Hasbro is going way off the beaten path with this year's big Marvel Legends SDCC exclusive, and I kind of love how weird it is. Announced ahead of San Diego Comic-Con 2025, the 'Hasbro Marvel Legends Series Gamerverse Marvel Snap Savage Land 3-Pack' is not your usual Avengers line-up or MCU tie-in. This is a collectible set straight out of Marvel Snap, the hit digital card game, and it's putting the spotlight on a trio of characters that even some comic fans might have to Google. The set includes Rogue, Sauron, and Shanna the She-Devil, all styled after their designs in the Savage Land season of Marvel Snap. That means bold colors, stylized details, and a strong dose of prehistoric pulp vibes. Let's break this down: Rogue is the most familiar face—X-Men legend, power-absorbing southern powerhouse, and longtime staple of comics, animation, and film. Sauron is a deep-cut X-Men villain who is, quite literally, a flying dinosaur vampire. A Pterodactylus with a lab coat-level intellect and the power to absorb energy like Rogue. And yes, he's the source of that Spider-Man and the X-Men #2 meme where Spidey says he could cure cancer, and Sauron responds: 'I don't want to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs.' Shanna the She-Devil is a jungle-dwelling super-athlete, a fierce veterinarian-turned-warrior introduced in the early '70s. She's been a recurring player in Savage Land-based storylines, particularly alongside Ka-Zar in various X-Men comics. The figures look really cool and they are stylized, detailed, and visually distinct from typical Marvel Legends fare. The set will be available first at Hasbro's booth (#3213) at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. If you're planning to get one, expect a lottery or reservation system to be involved—check the official SDCC site for updates. After the con, limited stock will be sold on priced at $90.

Silver Surfer & Fantastic Four Get Marvel Legends Action Figures Highlighting Powers
New Marvel Legends action figures of were revealed by Hasbro Pulse recently. Apart from Sue Storm, Human Torch, the Thing, and Mr Fantastic, fans also got a look at the Silver Surfer Marvel Legends action figure. Releasing on July 25, 2025, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is an introduction to Marvel's first family in the MCU. Hasbro Pulse recently held a Marvel Legends fanstream and unveiled the new action figures for The Fantastic Four: First Steps characters. The figures give a clear look at the powers of Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm, the Thing, and Human Torch. Additionally, the Silver Surfer action figure was also unveiled, with her cosmic surfboard. The Fantastic Four Marvel Legends action figures appear to be modeled in a way to highlight the powers of the characters. Sue Storm's figurine is paired with a forcefield. On the other hand, Mr. Fantastic, played by Pedro Pascal, has his powers depicted through a stretchy arm on his figurine, while the Human Torch has two action figures dedicated to him. While one figure shows Johnny Storm in his suit with two flame add-ons on his hands, the other one shows the superhero with his whole body on fire. Interestingly, the Thing's figurine is displayed in a comic-accurate way, without a shirt. Although the character sports a turtleneck suit in the movie, in the comics, the Thing appears shirtless most of the time. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Hasbro Pulse announced when fans can pre-order these figurines and wrote, 'Revealed during today's #MarvelLegends #Fanstream – the future of #Marvel's First Family has arrived. MarvelLegendSeries Fantastic Four: First Steps wave will be available for pre-order May 30th at 1 pm ET on #HasbroPulse! Each sold separately.'

Hasbro Unveils 'Marvel vs. Capcom' Games-Inspired Marvel Legends Figures
Hasbro has revealed its newest wave of Marvel Legends Gamerverse action figures, featuring ten characters inspired by Capcom's classic fighting game series, Marvel vs. Capcom . These newly announced figures will be released as either individual figures or packs of two, with the full line-up including: Captain America vs. Venom Psylocke vs. Thanos War Machine vs. Omega Red Wolverine vs. Silver Samurai Gargantos Juggernaut These figures will be the latest line-up to Marvel Legends' Gamerverse subline, and will see the debut of Gargantos, alongside updated designs for the remaining characters, with fresh new colour-schemes and body proportions to better suit their appearance in the classic games. These changes include Venom's game-accurate blue colour scheme, War Machine's exaggerated shoulder pads, and various effects parts to simulate the special moves in the game, like Wolverine's Berserker Barrage claw effects and Silver Samurai's Shuriken. Being a Marvel toyline, the collection will understandably omit the Capcom side of the game's roster, so it remains to be seen if Hasbro will announce a separate line featuring iconic characters like Ryu, Chun-Li or Akuma sometime in the future. The line-up also barely scrapes the surface of the entire Marvel roster in the games, but at least for now, fans can make do with existing Marvel Legends releases until the announcement of a potential second wave. In addition, Hasbro has also announced its first wave of Fantastic Four: First Steps toys to coincide with the release of the movie on 25 July, including the titular trio of Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm and The Thing, alongside Johnny in his Human Torch form and the Silver Surfer. Pre-orders for the Marvel Legends Gamerverse action figures will open in June this year, with the figures expected to release in Fall 2025, with the Marvel Legends Fantastic Four First Steps line-up releasing in Summer 2025.

Hasbro's New Marvel Legends Figures Are the Bendiest Boys Around
Whether it's Mr. Fantastic or Shuma-Gorath (sorry, 'Gargantos'), Hasbro's newest Marvel reveals are all about that flexibility. Today Hasbro revealed a boatload of Marvel Legends figures, and they were united beyond the mere fact that they were action figures made by Hasbro, and were from Marvel properties. No, there was a standout theme among today's reveals: bendiness. It would be otherwise difficult to marry the two halves of Hasbro's reveals today—our first official look at action figures from The Fantastic Four: First Steps alongside a series of gaming-themed celebrations of Capcom's classic Marvel fighting games—but somehow the toymaker did it with a little help from Mr. Fantastic and… Shuma-Gorath. Hasbro Marvel Legends Gamerverse Gargantos Sorry, Gargantos. The legally distinct Shuma-Gorath, who looks a lot like Shuma-Gorath, and instead currently borrows its name from an incredibly obscure Namor the Sub-Mariner villainous octopus to avoid potential copyright issues. Either way, they've both got big long bendy limbs! Hasbro Marvel Legends Fantastic Four: First Steps Mr. Fantastic Thankfully, Reed also comes with a pair of normal arms that you can swap out if you don't want his wired, bendable stretchy limbs going all the time. But Gigantos is all bend, all the time, with multiple points of articulation across his six tendrils that make what is otherwise a giant green one-eyed tentacled eldritch abomination surprisingly expressive. Hasbro Marvel Legends Fantastic Four: First Steps Figures Of course though, non-bendy action figures were also on display. Rounding out the rest of the First Steps wave are, of course, the rest of the Fantastic Four, based on their MCU appearances: Sue, Johnny, and Ben all get figures, as does a fully flamed-on Human Torch. While there's no movie Galactus figure for them to battle against yet, the line is rounded out by his herald in the form of Shalla Bal, the Silver Surfer, who comes with not only her cosmic surfboard but a nifty little energy blast stand you can pose her surfing on. Hasbro Marvel Legends Gamerverse Figures The Gamerverse fighting game figures, beyond Gargantos, are all inspired by the early stages of Marvel's historic gaming collaboration with Capcom across a series of arcade fighting games, most notably Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, and the original Marvel vs. Capcom. Gargantos and a deluxe-sized Juggernaut, however, are the only standalone figures: the rest are available across a series of two packs, some of which will be exclusive in the U.S. to retailers like Walmart, Target. Here's the breakdown of who's facing off against who: Wolverine vs. Silver Samurai Psylocke vs. Thanos (Target exclusive) Captain America vs. Venom War Machine vs. Omega Red (Walmart exclusive) Hasbro's Fantastic Four: First Steps figures will hit Hasbro Pulse for pre-order tomorrow, May 30, ahead of a release this summer. The 'Gamerverse' two-packs will have staggered pre-order launches across Hasbro Pulse, Target, and Walmart across the month of June.

Best Look at Sentry Suit in Thunderbolts* Revealed by Marvel Future Fight
A fresh look at Lewis Pullman's Sentry in his suit from the movie may have just been revealed in the Marvel Future Fight game. Pullman's Sentry is being introduced as the force that Thunderbolts* have to go up against in the movie, which will arrive on May 2, 2025. Marvel has tried to conceal the look of Sentry's costume in live-action before the film's release. However, a previous Marvel Legends action figure and the game may have given fans a glimpse at the suit. The official Instagram handle of the Marvel Future Fight game recently posted an image of the Thunderbolts* team, announcing their arrival in the game. The squad includes Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, David Harbour's Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell's US Agent, Hannah John-Kamen's Ghost, Olga Kurylenko's Taskmaster, Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes and Lewis Pullman's Sentry. Each one of the characters can be seen in their costumes, which were inspired by the Thunderbolts* movie, according to Marvel Future Fight. They mentioned in the caption, 'A new squad steps out of the shadows. Get ready to command a team built for chaos, precision, and power. Costumes inspired by Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts. #MARVELFutureFight.' So it appears that the image has revealed a brand-new look at Pullman's Sentry suit. The suit matches the yellow and blue colors of the suit that the character wears in the comic books, and also has a logo on its belt which resembles an 'S.' Additionally, Sentry's suit appeared to have been previously revealed by a Marvel Legends action figure, a photo of which made it to social media. The figure sports long blonde hair with the same suit shown in the game's Instagram post. As the highly anticipated movie's release date draws close, Marvel Studios has been featuring Lewis Pullman's Sentry in new clips, but as an all-black silhouette, to avoid showing his costume.
