NYCC 2024: Hasbro NYCC 2024 Panel Event with Reveals for G.I. Joe, Marvel, Transformers, and Star Wars

Updated: Oct 19

Hasbro's NYCC 2024 panel was a combined event that covered all of their key lines, headlined by the reveal of the Ghostbusters Ectomobile HasLab project.


A summary (text at the moment) is as follows by entertainment category.


 

Marvel Legends


The Marvel Legends panel kicked off with a recap of the new Ultimate Deluxe figures and a look at Dragon Man whose pre-order closed the day before the NYCC 2024 panel.


The focus then moved over to X-Men 97 and the confirmation of a new Sentinel that will stand approximately 22.2 inches tall. It's an animated style as seen in X-Men 97 and features alternative parts including battle damaged swap out head, face plate, and chest piece. We also get two blast effects. The 80 points of articulation includes articulated fingers so it can hold your X-Men 97 figures.



This is another limited pre-order Hasbro Pulse Exclusive which runs from 18th October to 26th of November with a US retail price of $174.99.


The Marvel Legends panel ended with confirmation that a Wave 3 of X-Men 97 is in the works.

2025 is the 20th Anniversary of Revenge of the Sith and there will be a 20th Anniversary theme through 2025 starting with a new Clone Commander Cody on the new clone body with a removable helmet and the Order 66 Palpatine hologram. This comes on retro-inspired blister packaging from the original 2005 line. This is exclusive to Walmart (Fan Channel elsewhere) and is a Spring 2025 release.

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...
