The April Fan First Livestream for Marvel Legends took place on the 19th of April 2022, just 24-hrs after the release of the Thor: Love & Thunder teaser trailer and the press release of the Hasbro Marvel Legends product launch for the movie. The Marvel Legends team of Dwight, Dan, and Ryan talked over these new MCU releases and showed off the initial samples.
The Infinity Ultron wave from the Disney+ wave was discussed with a look at the four announced figures of Moon Knight, Mr. Knight, Hawkeye, and Kate Bishop including packaged samples.
As specified ahead of the event, there were no details on any Spider-Man: No Way Home figures other than the confirmation that 2023 will see a release of the three Spider-men from No Way Home.
They did have a new MCU Spider-Man figure to reveal, and it is the owner of the backpack teased on the last Livestream. The civilian Peter will be joined by the first Ned figure in the MCU line. Ned will also include a backpack and an alternative Spider-Man masked head.
These are a two-pack that will open for pre-order from the 20th April at Hasbro Pulse and other retailers.
The Sony Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse will also get a new release as Spider-Noir from the 2018 movie is being released along with a Spider-Ham figure. The set features a newly tooled trenchcoat and an alternative unhatted head. Spider-Ham is the same as the Stilt-Man wave release. This is a Target US release, Toys R Us in Canada, and via the Fan Channel elsewhere.
These new Spider-Man releases were shown as the first figures to be included in plastic-free packaging. The window has been removed with images on the front of the box and down the side panels and on the reverse.
The next release in the 20th Anniversary Marvel Legends line is confirmed as Toad from X-Men who has a standard head, a secondary head with a long tongue, alternative hands, and two small toad accessories. He is packed in the retro-inspired blister pack and comes with the stand and backdrop.
Toad is a Fan Channel release and pre-orders are live from the 20th April 2022.
The team returned to Spider-Man for their next segment and the 'Beyond Amazing' campaign that celebrates 60 years of Spider-man. A recap showed off the new Iron-Spider figure which will also come in the new closed box packaging.
There was a look at the Future Foundation Spider-Man who will feature alternative hands and web effects. And there was also a good look over the new Amazon 2-Pack of Silk and Doc Ock which revealed an unmasked Silk head sculpt and this uses the photo-real deco. Doc Ock will also feature an alternative head option.
The Knull figure shown back at Hasbro Pulse con was shown as an actual figure and he towers over a usual 6-inch figure. He will feature the symbiote sword and alternative head.
Knull is part of a 2-pack and will come along with a Venom complete with articulated bat wings. The figure uses the 2018 movie Venom body and features new heads, alternative hands, and the large articulated wings. Once more, this is up for pre-order as of the 20th April.
Another Spider-man 2-pack based on the 'Renew your Vows' series will feature a Mary Jay Watson Spinneret and a new Spider-Man classic figure with a new pin-less body and toe articulation. Both figures come with alternative heads and hands.
The Lizard will be getting a release on the Retro Card for the Spider-Man series. He features two head options and a pair of flasks - one of the flasks was the tease back in the February livestream. He features a wire armature articualted tail.
Lizard is a Walmart excluisve in the US, and most likely a Fan Channel release elsewhere.
The final item for the live stream was also Spider-Man releated, a 'First Appearance' Spider-man from the Amazing Fantasty comic. He is a full new pinless figure, shorter than other Spider-Man Legends. He features web wings, alternative hands, and a selection of web effects.
The Livestream ended with the usual tease, and what looked like the first soft-goods product for the Marvel Legends line in the shape of a white lab-coat.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
