When the rumors began swirling that there would be a new super-articulated J Jonah Jameson action figure released for the first time in almost two decades, I was almost certain that the leak was going to turn out to be true: the legendary Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Bugle was just too weird of a pick to appear in the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Vintage (Retro) series not to be true.
And lo an behold, the Spider-Man Retro series is now confirmed to keep on trucking along with this new action figure of Jolly J. Jonah Jameson himself! Let’s have a peek…

While we got a new J Jonah portrait with the Marvel Legends Chameleon figure that was released in the Rhino series years ago, we’ve been waiting for a proper figure of Jolly JJJ ever since. And, well… here he is!

Utilizing the modern Klaue body mold from the Black Panther Legends Wave 2 series works exceptionally well for Jonah, in my opinion. The tooling here is good enough that it could easily convince some people that don’t have that Klaue figure that the mold was made just for J. Jonah!

While he doesn’t get a cigar (for obvious reasons), Jonah will include two pairs of interchangeable hands and also both rolled and unrolled newspapers. “Spider-Sham” is an okay front page headline, although I really think that Hasbro should have tried to get “Threat or Menace?” on there somehow. Alas.

Jonah is actually the second new figure announced for the Retro Spider-Man series of figure with Toybiz-inspired vintage packaging, as a new Marvel Legends Cyborg Spider-Man figure was surprisingly announced over the weekend.

This actually is an authentic 90s comic book-inspired action figure, believe it or not–I have good memories of having the original Cyborg Spider-Man toy from the Spider-Man animated series as a kid, so I’ll definitely be snapping up this Target exclusive if it’s easy enough to grab off store shelves.

The Hasbro Marvel Legends Spider-Man Retro J. Jonah Jameson figure is now up for order, and is scheduled to be released in early 2021. This is a Fan Channel Exclusive figure (as a niche civilian character like JJJ should be), so you won’t find J.J.J. at Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, or any of those types of stores. I can’t imagine that Hasbro has a gigantic run planned for this particular character, but I guess we’ll see how hard to get Jonah is (or isn’t!) once he releases in late winter.
What do you think, Spidey fans? Is this a worthwhile update to the old Toybiz JJ Jameson action figures, or are you satisfied with the “vintage” figures available for the iconic newspaperman?
