Hasbro continues its Marvel Legends offerings with Spider-Man and Fantastic Four collectibles, alongside new G.I. Joe and Transformers figures.
The latest batch of action figure news offers a clear indication that Hasbro is keeping its foot on the gas pedal in the Marvel Legends line, alongside some noteworthy updates across other renowned franchises such as G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Universal Monsters.
Marvel Legends: New Spider-Man and Fantastic Four Releases
Hasbro’s celebration of Spider-Man Day 2026 brought forth new pre-orders for the Marvel Legends line, including the Maximum Symbiote Spider-Man and an Amazon-exclusive Scorpion figure. While the hype from Spider-Man: Brand New Day still resonates, the release of these figures underscores Hasbro’s commitment to maintaining the momentum (source: Marvel Toy News).
Meanwhile, Hasbro also opened pre-orders for a Fantastic Four-themed Marvel Legends set featuring Mole Man and his Moloids. Despite being a less central character, Mole Man’s multiple portraits and extra accessories may appeal to fans looking for diversity in their collections (source: Toyark).
G.I. Joe: Classified Series Expands
The G.I. Joe: Classified Series continues to broaden its scope with figures like the Cobra-La Royal Guard and Steel Corps Trooper. This reflects a shift in market strategy that revisits and revitalizes vintage concepts. The Royal Guard introduces troop-building options for collectors, whilst the Steel Corps Trooper adds a gender-diverse touch to the line (sources: Action Figure Barbecue, She’s Fantastic).
Universal Monsters and Transformers Revivals
Super7’s O-Ring format is proving successful with the revival of Universal Monsters, prominently featuring the Bride of Frankenstein. This continuation of retro-styled figures appeals to nostalgic collectors and underscores the sustained resurgence of 1980’s action figure formats (source: She’s Fantastic).
Meanwhile, Hasbro expands the Transformers universe with Transformers: Cyberworld, introducing characters like Airachnid in toy form alongside its ongoing YouTube series. This points to strategic cross-media efforts aimed at capturing younger audiences (source: She’s Fantastic).
Star Wars Pre-Orders Continue
Star Wars collectors have more to look forward to with new pre-orders from The Vintage Collection and The Black Series. Figures such as the TVC Amani Guard and TBS Embo & Keibu sets are now available, keeping up with demands from collectors and fans of intensely detailed Star Wars products (sources: Jedi Temple Archives, Toyark).
Overall, this period lacks groundbreaking revelations but reflects a steady stream of additions and strategic expansions within established lines that should keep collectors and hobbyists engaged as they look forward to upcoming releases and pre-orders.
