The Coolest Hasbro Marvel and ‘Star Wars' Reveals of San Diego Comic-Con 2025
Hasbro always brings out the big guns at Comic-Con, and this year's convention was no exception. Quite literally, in fact, as both Marvel and Star Wars got some reveals that you could ostensibly count as big guns for Marvel Legends, Black Series, and Vintage Collection, and also some reveals that did actually include some actual Big Guns. This year's reveals included a ton of X-Men goodness for Marvel (anchored around a new wave of X-Men '97 figures), as well as the latest made-to-order deluxe figure in the form of everyone's satanic bestie (well, except Spider-Man's), Mephisto. Meanwhile, the galaxy far, far away went on a bit of an exclusives kick, revealing two special two-packs coming later this year, and then a grand finale: the next Haslab project, a 3.75″-figure-scaled Republic Gunship, ready to be filled with oodles of Clone Trooper figures. Check out all the latest Hasbro Marvel and Star Wars reveals below! Except for Qimir. Sorry, we were just so excited about finally getting The Acolyte's enchanting villain in figure form that we had to tell you about him separately. We already showed you Hasbro's other mask reveal of the con, Wolverine's mask from Deadpool & Wolverine, but its other reveal ventured to another arena of the MCU, with a brand-new electronically enhanced replica of Peter's spider-suit mask from Spider-Man: Homecoming. As well as a neck cowl, the 1:1 scaled mask includes moving eye pieces that can be set on either pre-programmed expression reactions, or manually activated with a remote control to express surprise, anger, or even that your spidey senses are tingling! Exclusive to Target, the latest retro-carded Uncanny X-Men figure brings Storm's iconic outfit from the time she led the X-Men as they hid out in the Australian Outback, operating in secret after the world believed them to have died fighting the mysterious Adversary. As well as fists and open hands, Storm also comes with two lightning-blasting hands to replicate her powers. Marvel's premiere marriage-wrecker is back in all his glory with a new figure in Hasbro's 'made-to-order' line of deluxe figures. Available to preorder until August 26, Mephisto includes an alternate head and alternate hands, a sword, and even swappable clothing to give him either a plastic or cloth set of cloak and loincloths—the latter so he can properly sit on his skull-covered throne, also included. We might be waiting a while for X-Men '97 season two, but we'll be waiting in style thanks to a whole host of new figures coming from Hasbro. The toymaker kicked off the '97 reveals with a series of two-packs inspired by key moments from the show: one from the series' opening episodes with Rogue and Gambit, depicting them in their basketball match gear, and two depicting the X-Men's returns to some classic costumes in the back half of the season—Wolverine and Storm in one, in their respective yellow-and-brown and black '80s gear, and Cyclops and Jean Grey in another, depicting them in their original outfits inspired by the season finale. That wasn't all for X-Men '97 though: an entire new wave of figures is on the way too, filling out some key remaining heroes (and anti-heroes) from the show's lineup. The new wave includes Sunspot, Jubilee, Morph, a casual look Logan, Cable, and the White Queen herself, Emma Frost. After lifting the lid on its first Marvel crossover set for Magic: The Gathering, Wizards of the Coast teamed up with Hasbro to reveal that it would release four exclusive variant cards as part of a series of action figures. Agent Anti-Venom, Battle Damaged Spider-Man, and Mary Jane in the Iron Spider suit will all reuse previous figures with upgraded accessories, alongside a surprise new addition in the form of Man-Wolf: the transformed werewolf alter ego of Colonel John Jameson. All four figures will come with an exclusive borderless foil promo card from the Spider-Man set, with new art inspired by their respective figures. Hasbro kicked things off in the galaxy far, far away by revealing two new multipacks that will be its exclusive offerings at upcoming conventions this fall, including New York Comic Con and MCM London. For Black Series, Revenge of the Sith's 20th anniversary gets celebrated with a new two-pack featuring Mace Windu and Darth Sidious, the latter clad in his chancellor robes and including an alternate scarred head depicting his visage after Mace deflects his Force lightning back at him. Meanwhile, the Vintage Collection will get its own version of the Jedi Spirits three-pack already seen in the Black Series a few years ago: ethereal force ghost figures of Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Anakin inspired by the climax of Return of the Jedi. However, in a fun twist, the Vintage Collection set will have one bonus not included in the earlier Black Series version: a swappable head for Anakin that lets you return Sebastian Shaw to the climax of the film, rather than Hayden Christensen's take on the character! Speaking of multipacks, two more are coming to the Black Series. The latest addition to the line's set of Jedi General and Clone Trooper two-packs puts together Anakin Skywalker (inspired by the live-action take on his Clone Wars look from Ahsoka) and Captain Rex in his modified phase-II Clone armor. The second, more elaborate two-pack celebrates the climax of Empire Strikes Back, depicting Luke and Darth Vader's duel on Bespin. Including a base replicating the gangway and platform the two duel on, the set also includes a lightsaber clash VFX piece, and a wired cloth cape on Vader for maximum dramatic effect. I'm sure you can find a way to remove one of Luke's hands, too. A trio of Vintage Collection figures were also revealed at the con, spanning the rise of the Empire era. From Clone Wars and Bad Batch, there's the Imperial Shock Trooper, the red-armored Clones of the Coruscant Guard, and from A New Hope, there are new versions of Han Solo and Chewbacca inspired by their appearances in the movie. Meanwhile, the Black Series went on a bit of a bounty hunter kick for its own reveals. From the fifth season of Clone Wars' iconic Ahsoka on trial arc, a new Asajj Ventress depicting her in her bounty hunter gear is on the way, complete with two lightsabers and a removable helmet (which I'm sure will also go great with the upcoming Bariss Offee figure, for no reason at all…). After getting so many Mandalorian figures between Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian lately, it's only fitting that we go back to Attack of the Clones for a newly updated Jango Fett, complete with a removable helmet. Again, I'm sure you can find a way to remove the rest of his head too to replicate Jango's battle with Mace Windu. Rounding out the Star Wars reveals was the next major addition to Hasbro's 'Haslab' crowdfunding project: a massive LAAT/i Gunship from Attack of the Clones, scaled to 3.75″ action figures. Dwarfing Hasbro's prior gunship toys, the new vehicle is a hefty 28 inches long, 30.9 inches wide, and 10.6 inches tall, and comes with two Phase-1 Clone pilot figures, as well as two different stands to depict the gunship either in flight or hovering above ground as it drops off its troops (which you'll have to grab separately, of course). The gunship itself includes opening front laser battery pods, which can hold a seated clone; opening bay doors to depict a fully detailed interior; options for alternate nose panels depicting art inspired by gunships seen in Clone Wars; and rotating turrets on the nose and back of the ship. Clocking in with a hefty $450 price tag, the Gunship requires 8,000 backers by September 8, 2025, to enter production for a fall 2026 release. Beyond the initial goal, three higher backer tiers will unlock several Jedi action figures to accompany the gunship, making their Vintage Collection debuts: 10,000 backers unlocks Coleman Trebor, 12,000 Saesee Tiin, and 14,000 Agen Kolar.

Hasbro's Big Marvel SDCC Exclusive Is a Deep Cut Marvel Snap Surprise — GeekTyrant
Hasbro is going way off the beaten path with this year's big Marvel Legends SDCC exclusive, and I kind of love how weird it is. Announced ahead of San Diego Comic-Con 2025, the 'Hasbro Marvel Legends Series Gamerverse Marvel Snap Savage Land 3-Pack' is not your usual Avengers line-up or MCU tie-in. This is a collectible set straight out of Marvel Snap, the hit digital card game, and it's putting the spotlight on a trio of characters that even some comic fans might have to Google. The set includes Rogue, Sauron, and Shanna the She-Devil, all styled after their designs in the Savage Land season of Marvel Snap. That means bold colors, stylized details, and a strong dose of prehistoric pulp vibes. Let's break this down: Rogue is the most familiar face—X-Men legend, power-absorbing southern powerhouse, and longtime staple of comics, animation, and film. Sauron is a deep-cut X-Men villain who is, quite literally, a flying dinosaur vampire. A Pterodactylus with a lab coat-level intellect and the power to absorb energy like Rogue. And yes, he's the source of that Spider-Man and the X-Men #2 meme where Spidey says he could cure cancer, and Sauron responds: 'I don't want to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs.' Shanna the She-Devil is a jungle-dwelling super-athlete, a fierce veterinarian-turned-warrior introduced in the early '70s. She's been a recurring player in Savage Land-based storylines, particularly alongside Ka-Zar in various X-Men comics. The figures look really cool and they are stylized, detailed, and visually distinct from typical Marvel Legends fare. The set will be available first at Hasbro's booth (#3213) at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. If you're planning to get one, expect a lottery or reservation system to be involved—check the official SDCC site for updates. After the con, limited stock will be sold on priced at $90.

Silver Surfer & Fantastic Four Get Marvel Legends Action Figures Highlighting Powers
New Marvel Legends action figures of were revealed by Hasbro Pulse recently. Apart from Sue Storm, Human Torch, the Thing, and Mr Fantastic, fans also got a look at the Silver Surfer Marvel Legends action figure. Releasing on July 25, 2025, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is an introduction to Marvel's first family in the MCU. Hasbro Pulse recently held a Marvel Legends fanstream and unveiled the new action figures for The Fantastic Four: First Steps characters. The figures give a clear look at the powers of Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm, the Thing, and Human Torch. Additionally, the Silver Surfer action figure was also unveiled, with her cosmic surfboard. The Fantastic Four Marvel Legends action figures appear to be modeled in a way to highlight the powers of the characters. Sue Storm's figurine is paired with a forcefield. On the other hand, Mr. Fantastic, played by Pedro Pascal, has his powers depicted through a stretchy arm on his figurine, while the Human Torch has two action figures dedicated to him. While one figure shows Johnny Storm in his suit with two flame add-ons on his hands, the other one shows the superhero with his whole body on fire. Interestingly, the Thing's figurine is displayed in a comic-accurate way, without a shirt. Although the character sports a turtleneck suit in the movie, in the comics, the Thing appears shirtless most of the time. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Hasbro Pulse announced when fans can pre-order these figurines and wrote, 'Revealed during today's #MarvelLegends #Fanstream – the future of #Marvel's First Family has arrived. MarvelLegendSeries Fantastic Four: First Steps wave will be available for pre-order May 30th at 1 pm ET on #HasbroPulse! Each sold separately.'

Hasbro Unveils 'Marvel vs. Capcom' Games-Inspired Marvel Legends Figures
Hasbro has revealed its newest wave of Marvel Legends Gamerverse action figures, featuring ten characters inspired by Capcom's classic fighting game series, Marvel vs. Capcom . These newly announced figures will be released as either individual figures or packs of two, with the full line-up including: Captain America vs. Venom Psylocke vs. Thanos War Machine vs. Omega Red Wolverine vs. Silver Samurai Gargantos Juggernaut These figures will be the latest line-up to Marvel Legends' Gamerverse subline, and will see the debut of Gargantos, alongside updated designs for the remaining characters, with fresh new colour-schemes and body proportions to better suit their appearance in the classic games. These changes include Venom's game-accurate blue colour scheme, War Machine's exaggerated shoulder pads, and various effects parts to simulate the special moves in the game, like Wolverine's Berserker Barrage claw effects and Silver Samurai's Shuriken. Being a Marvel toyline, the collection will understandably omit the Capcom side of the game's roster, so it remains to be seen if Hasbro will announce a separate line featuring iconic characters like Ryu, Chun-Li or Akuma sometime in the future. The line-up also barely scrapes the surface of the entire Marvel roster in the games, but at least for now, fans can make do with existing Marvel Legends releases until the announcement of a potential second wave. In addition, Hasbro has also announced its first wave of Fantastic Four: First Steps toys to coincide with the release of the movie on 25 July, including the titular trio of Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm and The Thing, alongside Johnny in his Human Torch form and the Silver Surfer. Pre-orders for the Marvel Legends Gamerverse action figures will open in June this year, with the figures expected to release in Fall 2025, with the Marvel Legends Fantastic Four First Steps line-up releasing in Summer 2025.
