Toyfare Reveals Hasbro’s First Wave of Marvel Legends

2006.07.11 13:41 EST: Huge news for Marvel Legends fans! ToyFare has gotten their hands on a picture of one of the new figures along with a listing of the rest of the assortment, which is sure to be on display at next week’s San Diego Comic Con.

From the Wizard site:

The first series of Marvel Legends to be released by Hasbro, who takes over the Marvel license from Toy Biz in January, will feature Planet Hulk [pictured], Banshee, Hercules, Movie Beast, Emma Frost, Ultimate Iron Man, and Annihilus as the build-a-figure! Check out ToyFare #109, on sale Wednesday, for more images of the figures, as well as images of movie Ghost Rider toys and new Spider-Man figures from Hasbro!

It looks like build-a-figures are here to stay as they clearly have gotten collectors to buy entire waves far more eagerly. Of note, is the presence of Ultimate Iron Man, not to be confused with the Modern Armor Iron Man of Toy Biz Wave 8. I’m sure his presence is due to the impending movie release. Rememer that there are still a few more waves of Toy Biz figures to go before these ever see the light of day.

Let the speculation on variants begin.

[Update – Crazy: 2006.07.12 12:33 EST ToyFare has posted a picture of Banshee on their forums after great speculation on the quality of the line based on the Hulk figure. They also reminded us that these were very early prototypes so some results may vary. I added the Banshee picture next to the Hulk above.]

[Update 2 – Crazy 2006.07.13. 12:00 EST I found some scanned in pages from the latest ToyFare that reveals the line up. The images came from here. Images added above. Again.]

A little early to be calling Planet Hulk “legendary”. And Banshee’s good and dead, with nary a ripple in the pulse of the fandom. Not even a legend in the world of comic book geeks, apparently.

Now Hawkeye, there’s a death that ruffled feathers.

Yeah, but Hawkeye is coming back eventually. When was the last time we saw Hercules? Was it even in this decade?

At least we are getting Emma Frost. I’m still hoping a variant will be that phoenix outfit from Endsong. Though probably it will just be her as the White Queen.

The guys at action-figure.com brought up a good point about that planet hulk figure, though its most likely a prototype, it looks like it has limited articulation. Not that Hulk figures are really the standard of the line for poseability or anything.

Hercules was just in the Giant Size Hulk!

(But that’s pretty much it, I’d think.)

Wow. That Banshee is CRAZY fugly.

If only he had Jamaican beer.

Hooray Beer!

– Just thought of two Hercules appearances: She Hulk, and Civil War. He’s with Cap!

Is it just me, or do the legs on all of the female characters look odd?

MY GOD! The quality of these new MARVEL LEGENDS suck sooooo BAD! These are the worst looking figure out there! I will Defiantly NOT be buying these anymore. I have collected all the TOY BIZ ones. Hopefully these will fail miserably and MARVEL will be sorry they ever lost TOY Biz. Just like MARVEL, when something like MARVEL LEGENDS is really popular, change companies! (Real smart Mr. JOE Q!) I HOPE THIS FALLS FLAT ON THEIR FACES!!!
