Marvel Legends returns!

I came across this at ActionFigureInsider.com -

Once again our man SDComics is the man on the inside at Comic Con 2011 as the con is being set up.
He called us tonight with a little bit of Marvel Legends news that he got from the Hasbro team.

They will be showing Marvel Legends wave 1 & 2 of the relaunch at the show. Wave 1 will be in the case the whole show. Wave 2 will debut at Hasbro’s Marvel panel and then be in the case after that.

Wave 1 will be: Klaw (classic look), Hope Summers, Constrictor, Steve Rogers as the Super Soldier, Iron Man (one of his classic armors), what looks to be the new movie version of Ghost Rider, the Comic Con Thor and the Build-a-figure is Terrax.

I’ll have a bit more insider scoop in just a bit.

Stay tuned to AFi for all the inside dish on Comic Con 2011.

Thanks for the good news! I'm especially psyched to hear about Klaw, Super-Soldier Rogers and the Terrax BAF.

Wow pretty cool news, but IMO the Hasbro releases were horrible in general....

Marvel Legends was a great line. Hasbro didn't do a very good job with most of them, but it will still be good to have them around. The price may be a killer though.

Hasbro killed thwe Marvel Legends line for me. They should focus on expanding the Marvel Universe line and give it the depth that they have given the Star Wars line.

(Although a BAF Terrax has potential....but then again I thought the same thing when I heard about the BAF Annihilus, lol)


What exactly is comic con Thor????

I just hope they are the same quality plastic as the first run on MLs and not the cheaper looking ones they made afterwards.

When hasbro first took over the Legends from Toybiz, they definitely did suck for the first couple of waves but they got much better as they went along. The Hulk wave was great I thought.

Definitely want the Constrictor.

As to price, what do the DC figures cost from Mattel right now?
