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's New Marvel Legends Figures Are the Bendiest Boys Around
Whether it's Mr. Fantastic or Shuma-Gorath (sorry, 'Gargantos'), Hasbro's newest Marvel reveals are all about that flexibility. Today Hasbro revealed a boatload of Marvel Legends figures, and they were united beyond the mere fact that they were action figures made by Hasbro, and were from Marvel properties. No, there was a standout theme among today's reveals: bendiness. It would be otherwise difficult to marry the two halves of Hasbro's reveals today—our first official look at action figures from The Fantastic Four: First Steps alongside a series of gaming-themed celebrations of Capcom's classic Marvel fighting games—but somehow the toymaker did it with a little help from Mr. Fantastic and… Shuma-Gorath. Hasbro Marvel Legends Gamerverse Gargantos Sorry, Gargantos. The legally distinct Shuma-Gorath, who looks a lot like Shuma-Gorath, and instead currently borrows its name from an incredibly obscure Namor the Sub-Mariner villainous octopus to avoid potential copyright issues. Either way, they've both got big long bendy limbs! Hasbro Marvel Legends Fantastic Four: First Steps Mr. Fantastic Thankfully, Reed also comes with a pair of normal arms that you can swap out if you don't want his wired, bendable stretchy limbs going all the time. But Gigantos is all bend, all the time, with multiple points of articulation across his six tendrils that make what is otherwise a giant green one-eyed tentacled eldritch abomination surprisingly expressive. Hasbro Marvel Legends Fantastic Four: First Steps Figures Of course though, non-bendy action figures were also on display. Rounding out the rest of the First Steps wave are, of course, the rest of the Fantastic Four, based on their MCU appearances: Sue, Johnny, and Ben all get figures, as does a fully flamed-on Human Torch. While there's no movie Galactus figure for them to battle against yet, the line is rounded out by his herald in the form of Shalla Bal, the Silver Surfer, who comes with not only her cosmic surfboard but a nifty little energy blast stand you can pose her surfing on. Hasbro Marvel Legends Gamerverse Figures The Gamerverse fighting game figures, beyond Gargantos, are all inspired by the early stages of Marvel's historic gaming collaboration with Capcom across a series of arcade fighting games, most notably Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, and the original Marvel vs. Capcom. Gargantos and a deluxe-sized Juggernaut, however, are the only standalone figures: the rest are available across a series of two packs, some of which will be exclusive in the U.S. to retailers like Walmart, Target. Here's the breakdown of who's facing off against who: Wolverine vs. Silver Samurai Psylocke vs. Thanos (Target exclusive) Captain America vs. Venom War Machine vs. Omega Red (Walmart exclusive) Hasbro's Fantastic Four: First Steps figures will hit Hasbro Pulse for pre-order tomorrow, May 30, ahead of a release this summer. The 'Gamerverse' two-packs will have staggered pre-order launches across Hasbro Pulse, Target, and Walmart across the month of June.

Review: Bandai's New Godzilla Figures for All Ages — GeekTyrant
Finally, we get to the big boy. The Movie Monster Series. The figures in this series are roughly 6.5' tall and are made of soft but durable vinyl. The options include Space Godzilla, Godzilla 1991, Hollywood Kong 2024, Hollywood Godzilla 2024, Godzilla (2023), Manda, Mechagodzilla 2004, Godzilla 1954, Godzilla 2004, Gigan 2004, and Kaiju No. 8. The one I received is the Godzilla 1991 figure and it's got really good detailing with lateral articulation for the arms and vertical articulation for the legs. I really like the figure, but am a little disappointed in how little articulation there actually is on it. You can't move the tail or head, or even jaw at all. With an MSRP of $20-25 depending on the figure, I would have really liked a little more articulation, even if it's just some vertical movement for the arms. The detailing is impressive though, especially when it comes to the paint job. Honestly, the detailing is what saves this figure and makes me believe that it is worth the price.
