Heads Up: Marvel Avengers Legends Agents of Shield 3-Pack Exclusive In Stock at ToysRUs.com

If you’ve been on the hunt for Phil Coulson, Nick Fury, and Maria Hill, you’re in luck – the Marvel Legends Agents of Shield 3-pack that’s exclusive to Toys R Us is now in stock. The 3-pack, which could also have been called Directors of Shield, is priced at $49.99, so it qualifies for the TRU free shipping deal.

Considering how prices dropped on the Captain America, Ms. Marvel, and Radioactive Man exclusive at Target, I thought about waiting to order. But I think this might sell a bit more briskly, given the stronger ties to the Agents of Shield TV show and the Avengers movies. Plus, the only repeat here is Nick Fury, who was last available a few years back in the Wal-Mart line. Coulson and Hill have not had figures before and are completely new.

Thanks to Paul again for the heads-up, and happy shopping!

Hasbro Marvel Legends Batroc, Spider-Woman, and Thanos Video Fly-By

In my excitement to post pics of Batroc, Spider-Woman, and (part of) the Thanos build-a-figure from the latest wave of Marvel Legends, I forgot to shoot a fly-by video. Allow me to correct that.

Now that I’ve got a few of these on the AFP YouTube channel, would you guys give me some feedback? When I watch video reviews of figures, most of the time I mute the sound, and let the figures speak for themselves. But what do you like? Would you prefer some music, or even some commentary? What else would you like to see? Let me know.

Marvel Legends Thanos Wave – Batroc, Spider-Woman and Thanos

Although Amazon has moved up its delivery timeframe on the Marvel Legends Avengers Infinite Series, the Thanos wave still isn’t due to ship until late March / early April. I was lucky enough to be in Hong Kong, and even more fortunate that my wife convinced me to stop in the Toys R Us at the Ocean Terminal on our last day there. And even though I had a pre-order already, I couldn’t stop myself from picking up Batroc the Leaper and Spider-Woman.

Pre-Order the Marvel Legends Thanos Wave at Amazon

If you are looking to pick up the Thanos Build-a-Figure in the next Marvel Legends Infinite Series wave, you may have the best opportunity to do so at Amazon. Figures are available to pre-order individually for $21.99 each and qualify for Prime shipping. They’re due to ship May 25.

To avoid duplicate BAF pieces, pick up five of the six figures. Just pick one of the two Fierce Fighters – Spider-Woman or Hellcat. If you don’t mind an extra Thanos head and arm, get them both.

Check out all the figures in our Toy Fair 2015 Marvel Legends Report. And thanks once again to Paul for another timely heads-up!

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Polaris, Strong Guy, and Forbush Man

For this edition of Border Patrol, we’ve got three Marvel Legends customs that have varying degrees of possibilities to see plastic form from Hasbro. From most to least:

Marvel Legends Polaris by IslandToybox – Polaris is one of the most popular of the X-Men who hasn’t seen a figure in the Legends line – she is regularly at the top of the most wanted lists, so maybe Hasbro will get the hint – ends Friday, March 6 at 5:35PM PST
Marvel Legends Strong Guy by callan-86 – X-Factor’s Strong Guy is a possibility in either the Build-a-Figure format or using one of the larger body types that Hasbro has developed – but he probably doesn’t have enough mojo outside of X-Factor fandom to get his own figure – ends Friday, March 6 at 8:39PM PST
Marvel Legends Forbush Man by Kustom Novelty Workz – let’s face it, as much as you and I may love Forbush Man, it’d take a miracle to see Hasbro make an official one in the Legends line – available via Buy It Now or Best Offer

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
