Today we bring you coverage of the Marvel Legends panel from the 2023 Hasbro Pulse-Con event. Look for pre-orders to go live at 5pm ET at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth. Pulse-Con exclusives will go up on HasbroPulse for Premium Members at 4pm ET and 5PM ET for everyone else.
Panel begins.
They are doing a fan vote of three but only one will be revealed today. The Red Widow from the Winter Guard.
Now going over the Haslab campaign for Giant Man. Right now it has 4,949 of the minimum 10k backers needed. He will have black and white antenna pieces. The eyes can be changed out with each faceplate. So you can mix and match the 3 different eyes with the three different faceplates.
Giant Man will be on display at the Marvel booth during NYCC. The limbs will be ratcheted similar to Galactus.
Now going over the Pulse-Con exclusive Detroit Steel.
Power Princess, Justice, Vison, Crystar - These are part of the first 2024 wave along with Savage Namor, Namorita, Classic Black Panther. The BAF is The Void. This wave will go up for pre-order on Oct 3.
No Way Home Wave - MJ, Matt Murdok with pin-less joints, Sandman, And All three Spider-Men figures with unmasked heads. The Tom one is based on the suit from the end of the movie. No BAF for this wave.
Also A deluixe Green Goblin. Also Deluxe Doc Ock With Bendy Tentacles. The two Deluxe figures go up for pre-order next week and the wave later today.
Shown below via Isaac Wong is an in-hand look at the new Marvel Legends Deluxe Spider-man 2 Doctor Octopus Figure from Hasbro. You can purchase this figure from our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth with suggested retail price of $39.99.
Finally was able to preorder Final Suit and ASM2 figures. The first round sold out immediately, then randomly I found a pre-order for Toby's figure. Then today while searching Amazon I found the other two. I had considered BBTS but that extra dollar per stings when rhey are already pricey.
I have the 3 pack so there's another reason to try to find the best deal. But of course Final Suit wasn't in that set.
Not overly concerned about Doc Ock and Goblin being sold out everywhere.. I'm counting on the higher price and stores like Target getting greater amounts of box sets/ Deluxe means they will be easy to find
There's a lot of good in that Final Suit Spidey but bad still outweighs the good, firstly, his arms are super long and spindly, which makes whole body proportions look questionable, secondly, masked headsculpt is just bad, be it due to bizarre head shape or eye placement, it reminds me of spider-man head shaped candy/cookies, which have weird proportions but for a reason, here they had no such reason andno excuse.
Little disappointed that the blue on that Holland Spidey suit is so dark relative to the very bright and shiny blue in the movie, but figure overall still looks quite good. Best proportions we've yet seen on a Holland Spidey I think.
The proportions on the Holland Spidey looks slightly cartoonish. That combined with the lankiness and height might make it a decent base for an Ultimate Spider-Man custom.
MJ is one of those figures where you look at it and you're sure which character it's supposed to be, but then you look at the headsculpt closely and realise the likeness is kinda off..
