Hasbro continues its Marvel Legends reissue streak with a limited return of the X-Force 3-pack and a Retro Animated Spider-Man.
In what might be the highlight of the week for Marvel Legends enthusiasts, Hasbro is bringing back several fan-favorite items for a limited window. As reported by Marvel Toy News, collectors of the expansive Marvel Legends line can now once again secure the X-Force 3-pack, featuring Rictor, Domino, and Cannonball, alongside the Retro Animated Spider-Man. These figures were previously exclusive releases, with the X-Force set having been a Disney Store exclusive back in 2021, making the reissue a notable event for fans aiming to complete specific team collections.
The significance of this reissue lies in the scarcity of these figures, particularly the Rictor figure, which had been the character’s only 6″ representation to date. The Retro Animated Spider-Man, styled to resemble his 90s animated counterpart, adds to Hasbro’s strategy of tapping into nostalgia to drive collector interest. The reissued figures are now up for order on select Fan Channel websites, emphasizing the continued demand for past figures that collectors either missed or want to reacquire.
