It’s been a while since Hasbro made a real push for the 4″ Marvel Universe scale figures like this, so I’m glad to see that they’re redoubling their efforts and giving small-scale collectors a bit of the spotlight! But apparently, Hasbro had other ideas, because they’re going to be unveiling four all-new 2016 Marvel Legends 3 3/4″ figures this week! ORIGINAL STORY: I really, truly, legitimately thought that there was a genuine chance that toy companies would forgo talking about any property that didn’t have the words “Star” and “Wars” in it this week.
#Quasar marvel legends update
UPDATE : As just about everyone in the free world had guessed, Hasbro has now revealed the second figure from this lineup to be the first-ever 4″ scale figure of Morbius, the Living Vampire! Poor Morbius’ solo comic book series last year was a complete and utter flop, but at least Hasbro is going to be giving him some love in 2016 with both a new 6″ Marvel Legends Morbius action figure and this four-inch version! I can already see that this Marvel Legends 4″ Rogue figure is going to be sporting a floppy belt that’s going to make my OCD go off the charts, but at least she’s also got double-dointed knees and ankle-rockers! While unfortunately I can’t go so far as to say that this is the first time that any company has ever released this iteration of Rogue (Diamond Select Toys released her as part of Marvel Minimates Series 47 in 2012 as part of a two-pack with Colossus), this is at least the first “realistic”-styled version of Rogue in this costume. UPDATE : As anticipated, the third day of reveals has brought us the classic 80’s Rogue costume! And honestly, I’m just glad to finally get an action figure of a character that hasn’t even ever gotten a Minimates figure from Diamond Select Toys! While I’m partial to Quasar’s classic costume with the crazy stars inside of his cape, the Annihilation Quasar modern design is also a great interpretation of the character. UPDATE :BOOM!!! That’s the sound of my mind being officially blown! Hasbro has just announced the final figure in this series of 4″ Marvel Legends 2016 figures, and it is in fact cosmic superhero Wendell Vaughn: QUASAR!
