One of my favorite reveals in all of Comic-Con happened during the Hasbro Marvel panel today (video below). In wave 2 of the relaunch of Marvel Legends, Hasbro will be making Arnim Zola the Build-a-Figure. While that’s an awesome announcement on its own, it gets better – through running changes, you’ll have the option to build a Red Skull version of Arnim Zola with new parts and an alternate chest insert (shown above).
More details during the video.
[Update] If you were like me and were experiencing sensory overload during the presentation, here’s a recap for you:
