SDCC 2025: Spider-Man Marvel Legends Magic The Gathering Series Figures!

Products You May Like

I’ve seen a lot of gimmicks come and go in my 30+ years of collecting Marvel action figures, but one sales tactic I hadn’t seen (until now) was crossing over Marvel Legends with Magic: The Gathering cards. But at the 2025 SDCC last week, that’s just what Hasbro unveiled. Going up for order later this week, it’s the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Magic: The Gathering series, featuring Battle-Damaged Spider-Man, Iron Spider Mary Jane and… Stargod Man-Wolf?!

I have to say, when Hasbro decides they want to do a deep cut for a new Marvel Legends toy, they really go all-in. I already thought Man-Wolf was a reasonably niche pick to do for a mass release action figure, but then I saw it was Man-Wolf in his even more obscure Stargod form, and my jaw just about hit the floor.

For those who want the cliff notes version, the Moonstone that transforms John Jameson into a werewolf is from another dimension. The gem can’t access its full power in our world, so it transforms Jameson into the lumbering brute Man-Wolf.

In its home dimension, the Moonstone (AKA Godstone) unlocks its full potential, transforming Man-Wolf all the way and bestowing the power of the Stargod! This sounds kind of wack these days, but trust me, it was super cool in the 70s. Given the fantasy-like feel of Stargod, this iteration feels like as good a match for a Magic The Gathering gimmick wave as anybody in Spider-lore.

The Marvel Legends Man-Wolf Stargod figure comes with suitably fantastical accessories the Sword of Stargod, a bow and a quiver full of arrows. He also includes some necessary alternate hands to change up his poses, as well as an exclusive Magic: The Gathering card only available with this figure. In case it’s not obvious, I’m pretty enamored with how whimsical and wacky this particular choice is for a mass release action figure.

Moving on, we’ve got another oddball pick in Iron Spider Mary Jane Watson. This is best known from an Alex Ross cover, although it is canon that Mary Jane (somehow) wore the Iron Spider armor for a few pages in 2015 (and also in some video games).

Comic-styled Iron Spider is always a solid seller, and the MJ head adds a little flavor over the last release, so this seems like a figure that theoretically will be popular. In addition to her exclusive MTG card, Mary Jane comes with a masked head, the robot legs that connect to the suit and some alt hands.

The third figure in the set is the one that I think will have the most appeal to a majority of collectors: a new Marvel Legends Battle Damaged Spider-Man. Toybiz did one of these in their Spider-Man Classics lineup many years ago now, but that figure is obviously badly outdated at this point.

I would have really dug some additional rips and damage to the main torso part of the mold beyond what’s present, but there’s no denying how cool that tattered mask head looks. The ripped costume on the arms is fun too, appearing like Peter just survived a brutal fight with Morlun or something.

Battle-Damaged Spider-Man comes with a rad beaten-up Peter Parker alt head, as well as a cool web shield accessory and alt hands (plus MTG promo card, of course). This isn’t the flashiest figure in the series, but I think it’ll be a hit with fans who aren’t deterred by the price (more on that shortly).

The least interesting figure in this wave to me is the Agent Anti-Venom, which has been updated from the 2018 version to use new tooling from the 2025 Agent Venom.

I think this update looks like an improvement over the old release, but I’m not in love with the four neon green “Super Soaker”-looking pistols that his tendrils can wield. I’m really going to have to consider how much I need my old Agent Anti-Venom upgraded before pulling the trigger on this guy—especially at the price.

And speaking of which, now to drop the other shoe: if the information Hasbro PR sent out over the weekend is correct (and there’s no reason to think it isn’t), then this Magic The Gathering Marvel Legends series will retail for a spicy $39.99 per figure. Ouch!

Basically, that’s a regular Marvel Legends figure ($25) plus a $15 surcharge for the exclusive MTG promo card each. That’s not going to be palatable to a large number of collectors, but I think it’ll be possible to recoup some of the costs just reselling the promo cards. It’ll be a pain doing so that I’m not exactly thrilled about, though.

The Spider-Man Marvel Legends Magic The Gathering series goes up for pre-order on Friday at 1PM EST and should ship out this fall. At $40 a figure and as part of a crossover with the red hot MTG, it’s really hard to predict how well (or not well) these figures will sell, so I’m looking forward to POs opening to kind of gauge how these are faring.

What do you think of this new promotional series, Marvel collectors? Are there any MTG fans reading hyped about the cards? What figures (if any) are you contemplating dropping 40 bucks on from this wave?
