(Images Source) Marvel's slate of television series heading into phase 6 of the MCU isn't as vast as the future seemed the last time I discussed upcoming shows, but that can be attributed to an effort on Marvel's part to focus on quality over quantity, plus I'm sure they're holding back on announcing too many things that would be coming out after the Avengers climax to the Multiverse saga. We've gotten A LOT of Marvel heroes and series that further build out the world and characters of the MCU, blowing it up moreso than Marvel fans ever expected to see this universe flourish I'm sure. Moon Knight, She Hulk, Ms Marvel, Ironheart, not to mention lesser known characters like Echo and Agatha, along with Secret Invasion, the return of Daredevil in Born Again, and the very fun Spiderman: Freshman Year. Even with all this there's still lots to come from the tv side of things for Marvel in Phase 6, and here I'll count down my excitement for each.  On Pause: ...

(Image Source) Marvel's 2022 slate has wrapped up and overall another decisive year for Marvel with a lot of projects fans weren't as happy with, while others were great crowd pleasers! Phase 4 has come to a close, with phase 5 hopefully bringing in some tighter story telling and more satisfying projects overall. The Marvel Legends line has continued to run strong though, and while just about all of the projects on this list have had great representation in the toyline so far there are still plenty of new characters and designs from the MCU shelf of my display that I'm waiting to have fulfilled! Moon Knight: Arthur Harrow (Image Source) I could easily see this character being the next release in the Disney+ waves of figures from the Moon Knight tv show, which overall did leave a good taste in fans' mouths! We've to this point gotten Mr. Knight, Moon Knight, and Khonshu which are all fantastic figures, so it would only make sense to round out the display with Arthur ...

(Image Source) The final film of Marvel's 2022 slate and phase 4 slate overall has come out, and they definitely saved one of their best for last. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was an emotional journey honoring Chadwick Boseman and I think the film's exploration of grief and how we deal with it was fantastic. All of the characters were standout, and Shuri herself has no doubt been elevated ten times as a character fit to wear the Black Panther mantle! Hasbro's Marvel Legend lines gave us a solid offering of designs from the movie, checking off major characters like Namor, Ironheart, and Shuri herself in her Black Panther suit, but there's still a few more possibilities to round out the figure display for the movie... 5. Valentina Fontaine (Image Source) This character has been building up to something ever since she first appeared in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and I was glad to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus get to use more of her charisma for a larger role in this mo...

With Hasbro PulseCon just around the corner I have plenty of guesses and predictions for what we could be seeing from each of the main brand teams hosting reveals. I have more informed guesses about some licenses than others, but ultimately I'm just hoping for lots of cool toys that will end up draining my wallet as they're revealed throughout the days! (Image Source) Marvel: Spider-Man, Iron Man, and X-Men oh my. Haslab. I really have no guesses as to what could be coming next from Marvel. I'm sure there will be more Spider-men, more Iron Men, more X Men, but there are always plenty of surprises as well! I for one am hoping for more MCU products, and I think a big event like Hasbro's Pulse Con could be the perfect place for them to unveil their next Haslab item which I'm very excited to find out the identity of! (Image Source) GI Joe: Yo Joe! Just like Marvel, the G.I. Joe team could do literally anything. I expect we'll see proper reveals of a lot of those nam...

While Marvel's films have certainly boasted plenty of lackluster villains that fans will poke fun at, the franchise has also yielded us some of the best comic book movie villains across the genre! From the likes of Loki to Thanos to Zemo there are plenty of villains to be excited about, and that extends to the Marvel Legends side of things as many times I find the villains often make for the cooler action figures! We've been getting a lot of missed villains in the line in these past years like Iron Monger and Surtur to name two, but there are still a great deal of MCU antagonists that need to make the jump to action figure form! These are five of the baddies I want most!  (Image Source) 5. Chitauri The perfect army builder for the MCU line to delve into, these alien warriors have become iconic in the realm of the movie franchise as the army the Avengers fought in the first movie the team featured in! They have been seen a couple times again throughout the franchise, namely in t...

Proving to be the beast of the action figure world Marvel Legends has chugged out another massive year in figures! It seemed as though a new wave was popping up in store shelves every time I turned around, and I couldn't be happier to see a line getting such success! I'm primarily an MCU collector, so for my end of year ranking video for my personal favorites of the year there won't be much outside of the MCU realm of figures, but that isn't to discredit comic book figures or videogame figures. This is just a reiteration that its all personal preference, and my list can look wildly different from your list, but for my blog this list will encompass what were my personal top 5 favorite Marvel Legends figures of 2021 from Hasbro! Honorable mentions: Druig, Spiderverse Peter, Iron Monger, Scarlet Witch, Endgame Thor Kicking it off with a few honorable mentions I'm including Druig from the Eternals line who isn't a very dynamic figure, but one that I think captures t...

I've looked at the MCU's phases 1 and 2 for inspiration of what Marvel Legends figures I'd like to see made next, so the next logical step is to look into phase 3 which is arguably the strongest phase of films Marvel had in their first 10 years. So many incredilbe films and moments took place over this span of time, with the largest amount of films yet being released, and the culmination of the Infinity Saga taking place! With 11 movies to take a look at, these are the 11 characters I want most across these films from Civil War to Far From Home! (Image Source) Captain America - Civil War: Hawkeye We're finally getting a really good Hawkeye MCU Marvel Legends figures based on his most recent Disney+ appearance, but it would be great as well to get a fantastic Hawkeye figure based on his earlier depictions and designs. Civil War has a great collection of figures that have been put together, but getting another Hawkeye with this design would greatly help round out the earl...
