Hasbro today showed off this render for their upcoming
Marvel Legends Classic Wasp figure which will be part of their
Avengers: Beyond Earth’s Mightiest celebration that will continue into 2024. This figure is something that will be released on it's own
and is not part of the current
Haslab Giant Man campaign which right now is still struggling to reach it's minimum goal of 10k backers. Right now that campaign has 6,375 backers, which means it still needs 3,625 backers in just under 4 days before it would move into production.
Now obviously Wasp is a figure that will go well with Giant Man if that were to get funded which is likely why they are showing it now. Hasbro in recent interviews has also indicated we would likely see others such as
Yellowjacket and maybe even a
6" version of classic Giant Man be released in the line sometime in 2024.
Some will suggest these figures should have been included in the Haslab, but what those people seem to fail to grasp is that would have also increased the price of Giant Man from $200 to something likely closer to what we saw with past Haslabs. Not only does selling those figures separately help keep the price on the big guy down, it also gives collectors more options. For those who want Giant Man but maybe not all these extra figures, they aren't being forced to pay for them and vice versa. Those who might want the extra figures but not Giant Man can now easily pass on this Haslab. Going this route in my opinion is a win win for everyone.
I would not be surprised as we enter into the final days of the Giant Man campaign Hasbro doesnt show off some of the other figures like Yellowjacket as well.
