Toy Fair 2018: Hasbro's Marvel Toy Lineup

Ready your bank account and hide your wallet...it's time to tabulate how broke you are going to be for the rest of the year!! Marvel Legends have been a blessing and a curse to Marvel Comics and Marvel Cinematic Universe fans alike. With an average 23 dollar price point for each figure and a Build-A-Figure in each wave, taunting you to buy the lot in one go, we may as well be signing our bank accounts over to Hasbro! Well friends, we have news for you. IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE!! With the Black Panther wave having just settled into retail stores across the globe, we've gotten word that the Spider-Man Lizard BAF wave is also hitting hard, with the Deadpool Sasquatch BAF wave close behind...and bringing up the rear across the waters in international territories, the Avengers Infinity Wars wave!!! Do the math on that. It means we are all eating ramen for a couple of months. Let's take a look at the run down for 2018, exploring the much sought after Legends and the "kid targeted" lines alike to get a clear view of the insanity coming up fast.

Spider-Man Marvel Legends 6" Action Figure Wave - (September) Cloak, Dagger, Daredevil, Doc Ock, Elektra, House of M Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider

Toys R Us Exclusive X-Men Days of Future Past boxed set - (?  Speculating Summer)
We've got zero info on this one, but we are all assuming it comes with a Sentinel (please no belly button please no belly button) and a 6 inch Wolverine modeled after his look on the front of the box. Why 6 inch and not 3.75 inch like the ones that usually come in these sets? Well we've not heard anything on the future of the 3.75 inch line, and it would be counter productive and confusing to pack one into this set when everything on the pegs is 6 inch.



Walmart Exclusive Thanos - (?  Speculating March)
This is the former BAF Thanos with semi-metalic paints, a new head and, of course, the Infinity Gauntlet.



Note that we've not yet heard of a new Netflix wave and people had told us it's coming. You can also factor in other Toys R Us, Walgreens and Walmart exclusives and that comes to....broke. I'm totally broke already. We'll add more images as they come to us, so keep watching!

  1. This doesn't even account for the MCU 10th Anniversary wave that's coming!

    1. I haven't even heard of this. We did think about another round of retro figures that are sure to get made.

    2. Nope, this is different. A subline of Cinematic figures, covering past characters not done yet! You should see it at NY Toy Fair! :)

  2. What about the Motorcycle box sets?

    1. Good call but they seem to be hitting now, so we left them out.
