Marvel Legends Is Taking on 'Marvel Rivals,' and It Looks Great

Marvel Rivals‘ stylized twists on its host of heroes have enamored us since the game launched a little over a year ago, and at long last someone is finally listening and giving us proper action figures of their designs, rather than leaving us with Funko Pops. And not only are they happening, but they look fantastic—but not in the Reed Richards sense. Today during a livestream Hasbro finally confirmed that the Marvel Legends “Gamerverse” line would start taking on Rivals with a new series of figures set to land later this year. The initial lineup will feature two deluxe single-carded figures, and two two-packs. So enough to fill up a Rivals team, and the mix of characters even splits nicely among two Vanguards, two Duelists, and two Supports! Starting off with the single-carded figures, we’re getting releases of Rivals‘ takes on the Punisher and Moon Knight. The big, burly Frank Castle will come with both his shotgun and his assault rifle, as well as gunfire FX, alternate hands, and an extra head, depicting him snarling mid-combat. Marc, meanwhile, comes with two billy clubs and two crescent darts (but alas, no spectral ankh to replicate his truly most annoying ability to deal with)
