Marvel Legends 'Fan First' Livestream February 2022 (as it happened)

The Marvel Legends Livestream for the 21st of February kicked off with a heads up about the global situation on shipping and potential displays to the line.


They confirmed the arrival of the Doctor Strange wave into Hasbro Pulse and stores and confirmed they are working on more Spider-Man: No Way Home products.


2022 is the 60th Anniversary of Spider-Man, and the Marvel team is using a 'Beyond Amazing' logo for new Spider-Man products this year, The first Spider-Man reveal was a classic Rhino on the Retro card. He is a re-work of the old BAF including paintwork and with tweaks so the pins are now filled in. He has two head options and alternative hands.


He opens for pre-order on the 22nd of February and is a Fan Channel Exclusive.




The next reveal is the Future Foundation Stealth Suit, shown as a digital render. He is a 2022 release but won't open for pre-order just yet as he is quite early on in development.



The Disney+ Wave for 2022 will be a Build-a-Figure wave and the BAF has been revealed as Ultron from Season 1. He will stand around 7-inch tall and has pinless joints.

The wave will be the home for the Hawkeye & Kate Bishop figures shown last year. With more to be revealed and updated in the coming weeks.



The X-Men VHS figures will expand to include Storm. She includes cell-shading paint deco and a new hair piece for this release and as seen in the X-Men cartoon series. She has an alternative pair of hands.


Storm opens for pre-order on the 22nd February and is a Fan Channel Exclusive shared in the future with Shop Disney.






The 20th Anniversary Series of figures will include Toad, but he is coming so we are told to be patient. The 20th Anniversary will be celebrated with new reveals on the 20th of each month and that started yesterday with the Blue Marvel figure.

Blue Marvel will feature some cosmic effects to attach to the hands.




In the same wave, we have an Iron-Man figure with the complete pin-less body, inspired by the current Alex Ross books.


The third figure is Speed-Ball who features some pretty impressive deco on the arms, neck, and head.

Madame Hydra features a new head sculpt and hair, as well as a Hydra, branded holsters & belt.


US Agent uses the Kraven/Captain America buck and has a new head sculpt and updated shield.


The new Thor figure is a brand new pinless sculpt and comes with some Raven accessories and his new hammer.




The final figure is Quake with a new head sculpt and swap out hands so she can have her power gloves. The figure can actually be updated to Maria Hill with an alternative head included in the box


The Build-a-Figure for the wave is an impressive The Controller who uses parts from the Thanos Deluxe figure


The entire wave is up for pre-order as of the 22nd of February.



The panel gave us an update on Galactus with a focus on the leg articulation considering the issues that some experienced with the Sentinel.


There was also a nod to Moon Knight and it was confirmed Legends would be coming tied to the show.


The end of panel tease was a chemistry flask.

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...
