Mego Disney Store Avengers 4pk (2026)


I'm pretty sure I only heard about the Mego Disney Store Avengers 4pk just a week or so before it dropped, mine arriving just five days after I ordered it online without incident. Some collectors reported receiving badly damaged boxes, but mine arrived unscathed. I think Mego adjusted their inventory numbers with the online giant after grossly miscalculating the initial Fantastic Four set, which left many fans without, present company included. In fact, you could still order last year's Spider-Man/Arch Enemies 4pk when I purchased the Avengers set (and still can as of writing this, though the Avengers set is sold out now). I hope we'll get another chance at the Fantastic Four set! Check out my YouTube Short:




I love the packaging and special edition gold coin, and while I've heard a lot of complaints about changes collectors wanted/didn't want, I'm actually thrilled with this set. Finding vintage figures of these characters in good condition can be a pricey endeavor, and I'd remind any of those '70s kids, they wouldn't have cared about any of that back in the day. They very much channel the spirit and aesthetic of '70s Mego!

Marvel Legends 85th Anniversary Hulkbuster


Man, are we getting a lot of plus-sized Marvel Legends figures coming in! I got ten bucks off this big buy recently, which certainly helped me to pull the trigger. This Hulkbuster is about 9.25" tall and 2.350 lbs. -it feels substantial. The outer chest armor can be removed, and the helmet exchanged for a Tony Stark head. His joints are pretty tight, and while his girth limits his articulation to the expected degree, he can do quite a bit for such a bulky figure.


But what we came for here today was a rumble with 
my Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Hulk ...




Below, Hulkbuster with my Marvel Legends Invincible Iron Man, which also came with an alternate Tony Stark head. This Hulkbuster looks a lot like what is referred to as part of the Model 13 Modular Iron Man suit with a style/details update to the overall aesthetic, but has also been directly referred to as its own Model 14 armor.



And now for some more comparisons:
with my Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Hulk and Spider-Man Retro Card Series Rhino...


                                        ...with my Marvel Legends Ulik and Thing...


...with my Marvel Legends Venompool and Mister Hyde...




...can you imagine Mark 1 Iron Man bumping into Hulkbuster at the arcade ...?


And finally, Hulkbuster with my Marvel Legends Iron Man 3 Wave BAF Iron Monger, absolutely dwarfed by the former. The Marvel Legends has come a long way since it's relaunch in 2012- the figures are better than ever and there are more of them- well over 1,300 and counting. The character lineup is astounding, and they are bordering on import-level quality, with more accessories and extra hands/heads. I've written 158 posts about them here on the Super-DuperToybox in the last 14 years, and this won't likely be my last! Excelsior!

Marvel Legends Dump -August 2023


 I didn't get all of these figures in August, but most of them I did, so I felt it was a good time to dump a bunch of them onto the blog!

Spider-Man 2 (Gamerverse)
I was disappointed in missing out on the first Gamerverse Spider-Man at GameStop a couple years ago, so getting this upgraded model was sweet. He came with several web accessories and has all the articulation you'd want in a Spider-Man figure, including a toe joint.

Quantumania Ultron
I'm not sure why Ultron was in this wave, but collectors who missed out on the Classic Ultron we got in 2021 with the Ursa Major BAF Wave will be glad to see him. His head sculpt is slightly different, and he is sculpted in that swirly metallic plastic instead of painted silver. Below, Quantumania Ultron pictured with Disney + What-If... Ulton BAF and my Classic Ultron...



Guardians of the Galaxy Yondu
I hate exclusives as much as the next collector, but I didn't have any problem preordering this Target Exclusive Yondu. What a presentation- live the color on this figure! He pairs nicely with the Walmart Exclusive Star-Lord we just got!




Moon Knight (Modern)
I've been a fan of Moon Knight since reading about him in Spectacular Spider-Man back in the '70s, and this modern interpretation hits all the right notes. I'm unsure what I'm supposed to do with the extra-small crescent accessories he came with, but he was packed with other useful weapons.

Heroes Return Iron Man/Model 01 Iron Man
How many Iron Man figures does a Marvel Legends collector need? Apparently two more!

Below, Heroes Return Iron Man and Model 01 Iron Man with some of the other Marvel Legends Iron Men I've collected in the last 3 years: Iron Man 2020   80th Anniversary Classic Iron Man   Modular Iron Man   Model 70 Iron Man   War Machine   Silver Centurion   Stealth Iron Man ...


Avengers: Beyond Earth's Mightiest Heroes Captain Marvel Vs. Doctor Doom 2pk
I read Secret Wars back in the '80s and was particularly fixated on this version of Doctor Doom that looks like the Mattel Secret Wars figure I had then. I was thrilled to see this set solicited a few months ago, and it did not disappoint!


Below: Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel with Mar-Vell Captain Marvel


Hasbro went all the way with Doom, including a Victor Von Doom head sculpt, collapsed hoodie accessory, and mask so we can relive issue #11 of Secret Wars "The Face of Doom" like it's 1985! So good ...!

Avengers: Beyond Earth's Mightiest Heroes Black Widow
And finally, a figure I picked up while shooting the rest of these, the newest Marvel Legends Black Widow. I passed on this figure in a local Target a couple weeks ago, but circled back to scoop her up- with three head sculpts, pinless joints (double hinged elbows as well), and all her other weapons/accessories, she is the Black Widow to have in your collection.



The 2018 Marvel Legends Black Widow also had an alternate head with a '60s/retro hairdo ...

I'd have a difficult time choosing a favorite out of this bunch, but it might be the Secret Wars Doom Vs. Captain Marvel 2-pk. I'd love to have a 12" version of that Doom! Honorable mentions to the Model 01 Iron Man, Yondu, and Black Widow, but they are all pretty fantastic. Marvel Legends have become more expensive, but they often rival import-quality figures in the last few years.
