Marvel collectors heading to San Diego Comic Con this weekend have the opportunity to pick up three exclusive Marvel Legends figures at booth 3329. Hasbro was nice enough to send us one of each figure for review and as you can see in our unboxing video, they are glorious. Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe can collect a two-pack with The Collector from Guardians of the Galaxy and The Grandmaster from Thor: Ragnarok. And fans collecting the Marvel 80th Anniversary series can pick up an exclusive version of the Incredible Hulk.

The Collector/The Grandmaster 2-Pack

The packaging on the Collector/Grandmaster 2-Pack are two hinged half-circles that form a complete circle with velcro tabs on the back. Each figure captures the likeness of the actor that portrayed the character in each film, Benicio del Toro and Jeff Goldblum. My only exposure to the characters has been through the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I was a little curious why they are bundled together. Fans may notice a portrait of both characters together in the queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout at Disney California Adventure park. They also have similar style and make up patterns. In the comics, both characters are members of a fraternity of extinct alien races called The Elders of the Universe. This set retails for $49.99.

The Collector comes with his orb, which housed the Power Stone in Guardians of the Galaxy. He also features a swappable head that includes his magnifying glasses. It’s remarkable how much he looks like Benicio del Toro. The face sculpt technology has improved so much since the Marvel Legends line began.

The Grandmaster is bundled with his staff, as well as a plastic pile of vibrant blue bubbly goo, which is what happens when he touches the staff to minions he grows tired of. The likeness to actor Jeff Goldblum is uncanny and the detail on his painted fingernails and toenails is out of this world. His robe is a bendable rubber material with detailed texture.

Each figure is highly articulated at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, torso, hips, knees, and ankles. The Collector’s feet are very narrow and it takes a bit of work to get him to stand on his own. His hands aren’t able to fully hold the orb, but it can be carefully balanced. The Grandmaster has an easier time standing thanks to the robe he wears, which has a flat bottom in the back that acts as a pseudo-stand.

80th Anniversary Hulk

In celebration of Marvel’s 80th anniversary, Marvel Legends has a line of comic-based figures that celebrate the rich legacy of the characters throughout the decades. Another San Diego Comic Con exclusive figure in this line brings the Incredible Hulk to the series. The figure comes on a classic cardback that evokes the esthetics of the 1990’s ToyBiz packaging. This is protected inside of a white cardboard box when purchased to ensure that the edges don’t get dented or dinged while you enjoy the convention. This figure retails for $34.99.

This 6-inch figure is bulky and heavy, as you would expect the Hulk to be. At first glance he appears to be just one shade of green, but the detailed paint job includes darker paint around his eyes and on his perforated veins.

Hulk has a great deal of articulation, although his neck has a limited range of motion due to his thick neck. He is also bendable at the shoulders, elbows, wrists, torso, nips, knees, and ankles. He includes a lead pipe accessory that fits into his right hand. His left hand is a clenched fist.

How to Get

As I mentioned at the top of this review, all of these figures are branded as exclusives to San Diego Comic Con. Hasbro has already distributed lottery tickets to fans who will have an opportunity to purchase them during the convention. But fans who missed out on the lottery can still use a standby line to try for them. In addition, a limited quantity will debut on Hasbro Pulse after the convention and more figures might appear at future conventions around the world. If you’re not heading to SDCC or miss your chance there, all hope is not lost.
