Hasbro is really spreading the love this year as far as Marvel Legends 2019 figure reveals at summer conventions go! Following a boatload of announcements at SDCC 2018 and the Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico, Hasbro had another quartet of announcements up their sleeve for the Canada Fan Expo 2018: Marvel Legends Mystique, Weapon X, Guardian and a Wendigo Build-A-Figure!

When Hasbro said they were saving lots of figure reviews for conventions later in the year than San Diego Comic-Con 2018, they weren’t kidding! Though we’ve still got over a month until New York Comic Con 2018, we’re now up to a whopping eight 2019 Marvel Legends figures revealed since SDCC!

At the Unboxing Toy Convention we saw Living Laser, Nighthawk and the Kree Sentry Build-A-Figure appear. And today, five more figures have premiered, with four of them at the 2018 Fan Expo:

• Mystique
• Guardian
• Weapon X
• Wendigo Build-A-Figure

Believe it or not, I believe Weapon X is the one character from this foursome that Hasbro hasn’t done before (if you consider Weapon X and Wolverine separate characters), as we’ve had a modern Mystique figure in the Epic Heroes series, a Wendigo in the Fin Fang Foom Series, and a Guardian in the Walmart Exclusive Ares Series.

I’ve never been a huge fan of the Weapon X design (I own exactly zero figures or statues of Logan in his Weapon X “costume”), but if I’m gonna have one, this looks like the one to have. Crazy to think that a Wolverine variant could ever be the newest thing in any series, huh?

That said, I’m really pleased with both the Marvel Legends Guardian and Mystique figures that premiered today. I actually really like the modern Mystique Legends figure in leather pants and top that Hasbro released in 2012, but I know the dress and skull belt version is the preferred look for the character by most fans–and this is quite an upgrade aesthetically from the old Toybiz Mystique.

The Walmart Exclusive Guardian is ridiculously expensive and inaccessible to new collectors these days, and if Hasbro is going to build any kind of Marvel Legends Alpha Flight, Guardian had to be obtainable again. The super-shiny paints used for this 2019 ML Guardian figure look fantastic!

The only entry in this wave that I’m not at all crazy about is the new Marvel Legends Wendigo Build-A-Figure. When the Sasquatch BAF was revealed at Fan Expo one year ago, I think we all saw the writing on the wall that a repaint as a Wendigo BAF was a near-certainty. What I didn’t see coming was the butt-ugly head on this iteration of Wendigo!

I know we got an amazing classic Wendigo head in the Hulk Fin Fang Foom Series already, but this particular Wendigo design just doesn’t appeal to me, personally. (Feel free to ream me out in the comment for saying that, though, modern Wendigo fans!)

All four of these figures will be part of the Marvel Legends 2019 series, with Mystique being available solely as a Walgreens Exclusive (following Magik). I’ll post more specific release details and pre-order links for all these figures once more information is available.

What do you think of this latest quartet of reveals, Marvel Legends collectors? Which of these characters (if any) were on your wish list, and which are you planning to add to your collection next year?
