The next MCU movie won’t be hitting theaters for another 5 months, but Hasbro is wasting no time announcing their tie-in 6” figures wave for the film! Bringing us a surprisingly eclectic variety of characters, the Marvel Legends The Marvels series is now revealed and up for order—including an unexpected Amadeus Cho Hulk Build-A-Figure!

Marvel Legends The Marvels Movie Figures Series

I have my doubts about how successful the upcoming The Marvels movie teaming up Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan will be (Ms. Marvel is the only Disney+ MCU series I actively hated), but just like almost every Marvel movie for the past decade, it will have a corresponding Marvel Legends wave.

And as the film itself is a bit of an odd couple team-up, it seems appropriate that the figure assortment is a really odd one as well! Joining three movie figures of the titular characters, we also get comics-based toys of two Avengers, an Inhuman, a Young Avenger and even a non-Bruce Banner Champions Hulk!

Marvel Legends Monica Rambeau Photon MCU Movie Figure

As this movie’s central characters are three heroines, it would be a total fail if Hasbro didn’t grant each of the trio an action figure in the Marvels Legends wave. As such, it should surprise no one that Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and Photon are all represented in this wave.

I sort of forgot that Monica Rambeau hasn’t had an MCU figure of her own yet, but Marvel Legends Photon will remedy that. Monica has been a much more peripheral character than her co-stars, so I’m excited to see Photon given a more substantial role in this movie (and the hair on her figure looks awesome!).

Marvel Legends The Marvels Ms Marvel Box Front

I liked Ms. Marvel in the comics from the start, but I found her Disney+ portrayal to be overpoweringly annoying almost instantly. I’m personally not giddy about the character being featured in The Marvels (or having to buy another figure of her for a desirable BAF part), but I do really dig the full-on tentacle Flerken that she comes with.

The Marvels Legends Kamala Khan Figure with Flerken Cat

I think Hasbro unfortunately horribly mangled the likeness on Kamala’s head sculpt with that awful smirk she’s sporting, though.

Carol Danvers Marvel Legends 2023 Movie Figure

Carol Danvers started to grow on me a hair in End Game, and I’m hopeful I can continue liking her in The Marvels when she’s sharing the spotlight. This is another long-haired Captain Marvel figure, which I think the market can support four years after her solo film.

Marvel Legends Captain Marvel The Marvels Figure with Energy Effects

Carol gets some (basic) energy effects this time, which are much appreciated for her power set.

Box Back Steve Rogers Marvel Legends Action Figure

The two most iconic Avengers make a guest appearance in this wave to perhaps mitigate some of its “riskiness”: niche variants of Captain America and Iron Man. Commander Steve Rogers was in the inaugural Hasbro “Return of Marvel Legends” Terrax wave in 2012, but he’s back in this wave on a much more modern, updated body.

Marvel Legends Commander Steve Rogers 2023 Figure with Energy Shield

I actually really, really liked that original Commander Rogers figure, but I’m all for seeing old figures brought up to modern standards. The translucent energy shield this Cap comes with is awesome as always.

Marvel Legends Heroes Return Iron Man Figure Box Back

Iron Man gets a new figure in his Heroes Return armor in this wave, although Hasbro whiffs it a bit by not giving him all pin-less joints.

Heroes Return Iron Man Legends Six Inch Figure

Heroes Return Iron Man does have a nice retro feel to him, and I doubt anyone otherwise building Amadeus Cho Hulk will be swayed not to by the mismatched joints.

The Marvels Legends Karnak Box Front

In a super rare move, an Inhuman other than Black Bolt or Medusa makes an appearance in this wave!

Marvel Legends Karnak Figure The Marvels Series Articulation

Marvel Legends Karnak absolutely-reeks- of “pegwarmer” to me, but hopefully this is a precursor to the Lockjaw that fans have long cried out for.

Marvel Boy Box Back Marvel Legends Totally Awesome Hulk Series

Another unlikely entrant in this wave is Marvel Legends Marvel Boy (Noh-Var). I believe the connection his inclusion is based on his being a Kree, which ties into Carol Danvers’ Kree history.

Marvel Legends Noh Varr Marvel Boy Figure

The Grant Morrison created character has been a Young Avenger and a love interest for Kate Bishop Hawkeye, so he’s about due for a better toy after the weird Protector figure years back in the Hit Monkey Series.

Totally Awesome Hulk BAF Amadeus Cho Hasbro 2023

The chosen Build-A-Figure for this wave is one of my favorites in quite a while: the Totally awesome Hulk, Amadeus Cho!

Close-Up of Marvel Legends Champions Amadeus Cho Hulk Figure

The super-genius teen, Amadeus Cho, is a character I’ve always really, really liked, and as a founding member of the Champions team that Kamala Khan led, his placement in this series makes complete sense thematically. I won’t hold my breath for teen Chclops and Viv Vision to complete the team, but I sure would love it if those characters were released as toys!

Amadeus Cho Action Figure Totally Awesome Hulk Build-A-Figure

Hulk variations are always popular, so hopefully a Totally Awesome Hulk BAF can bring some extra oomph to a wave that otherwise might struggle at retail.

The Marvels Legends Action Figure Wave Totally Awesome Hulk Series

The Marvel Legends The Marvels Series is now up for pre-order, and is scheduled to ship this summer. What do you think of this very unpredictable Marvel Legends The Marvels series? Will you be collecting any of the heroes in this wave, or even building the Totally Awesome Hulk BAF itself?
