Marvel Legends Expands with Unique Variants
The Marvel Legends line has welcomed two notable new releases. First, we have a Spider-Woman figure, an exclusive to the Marvel Unlimited line, capturing Jessica Drew in an unusual black spider suit designed by Peach Momoko. As reported by She’s Fantastic, this design initially appeared as a variant cover and features a symbiotic face marking, offering fans of Jessica Drew a fresh take on the character.

As detailed by She’s Fantastic, this costume is a favorite among X-Men enthusiasts, representing a dynamic period in the character’s timeline. With its waves of nostalgia, it’s a solid addition for those aiming to complete an era-spanning collection.
Continued G.I. Joe Releases

Notably, two figures are capturing attention: David “Crazylegs” Thomas and Rafael “Zap” Melendez. According to Action Figure Barbecue, Crazylegs receives a retro treatment based on his classic 1987 appearance, distinct from the Night Force version released in 2024. Meanwhile, Action Figure Barbecue notes that Zap, as one of the Original 13, holds a place of reverence in the hearts of collectors, with the new figure serving to enhance the nostalgia surrounding these pivotal characters.
