Hasbro wants to take Marvel Legends fans for a ride this year, as they’ve revealed a new wave of Marvel Gamerverse action figures inspired by the classic Marvel vs. Capcom games.
Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at these stylish new figures, including new takes on Wolverine, Thanos, Venom, Captain America, Juggernaut, and more:
These figures will be released as both two-packs and single figures, depending on the size of the figures in question. The full Marvel vs. Capcom lineup includes:
- Wolverine vs. Silver Samurai
- Psylocke vs. Thanos
- Captain America vs. Venom
- War Machine vs. Omega Red
- Gargantos (formerly known as Shuma-Gorath)
- Juggernaut
While Hasbro has released most of these characters in Marvel Legends form in the past (save for Gargantos), these figures are embellished to better capture the dynamic sprite designs from the classic games. For example, Wolverine has the exaggerated claws and mask, while Venom is decked out in his game-accurate blue color scheme. The Psylocke figure in particular showcases the extreme articulation possible with these new figures.
Obviously, not every character from the Marvel vs. Capcom games is represented here, but collectors can always look to past Marvel Legends releases to fill out their lineup. At this point, even relatively more obscure characters like Marrow and Blackheart have been featured in the Marvel Legends line. The bigger challenge is assembling the Capcom side of the roster. Might we recommend Jada Toys’ Street Fighter line when it comes to Ryu, Chun-Li, and the rest of the Street Fighter gang?
Hasbro also showed off their line of The Fantastic Four: First Steps figures, which includes the titular foursome along with Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer. Check them out in the slideshow gallery below:
Preorders for The Fantastic Four: First Steps figures will open on the Hasbro Pulse website and other retailers on Friday, May 30 at 10am PT, with the figures slated for release in Summer 2025. Preorders for the Marvel Gamerverse figures will open throughout the month of June, with the figures expected to release in Fall 2025.
