Toy Fair 2016: Hasbro Marvel Legends Report

Toy Fair 2015: It’s Not All About Legends for Hasbro’s Marvel Team

As much as I’m digging on Marvel Legends for 2015, I’d be remiss if I didn’t highlight the other expressions from Hasbro’s Marvel team before shutting down for the night. In figures, the ones nearest to my heart are the Marvel Universe and Marvel Titan Series figures.
