Hasbro Reveals New 'The Avengers' and 'Ultimate Spider-Man' Figures
Posted 4/25/12 1:04 pm EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Hasbro, News, Toys
As all things Marvel ramp up in the news, thanks in no small part to the upcoming "The Avengers" film on May 4th, Hasbro has decided to kindly toss out a few images of some upcoming figures from the film that, up until recently, have been under wraps: Loki's Army! As an added bonus, they also revealed not one, but two, Miles Morales Ultimate Spider-Man figures as well. While Loki's army are part of their "The Avengers" 3 3/4" line and will be available everywhere, the Ultimate Spider-Man figures, we were told, will be Wal-Mart exclusives. Availability hasn't been set, but our bet is these will be out sooner rather than later.
Loki’s Army 3.75 inch figure
Black, White, and French: Marvel Legends Fantomex Review
Posted 4/4/12 10:36 am EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Hasbro, Reviews, Toys
Toy Fair 2012: Hasbro's Marvel Legends
The monochrome reviews roll on here on MTV Geek with Hasbro's take on Fantomex from the second wave of Marvel Legends! FF Spider-Man was our first, and although they share a color scheme, Jean-Phillipe has nothing at all to do with the Wall-Crawler. He's a mutant that comes to us courtesy of Grant Morrison, so I won't even try to explain his backstory in the small confines of this review, but it is chronicled here. With the overwhelming popularity of Marvel Comics' Uncanny X-Force, we're kind of surprised it took until the second wave for one of it's members to make an appearance-- even more (and pleasantly) surprised it wasn't a repaint of Wolverine or Deadpool.
Dressed to Impress: F.F. Spider-Man Marvel Legends Review
Posted 3/28/12 10:22 am EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Hasbro, Reviews, Toys
Toy Fair 2012: Hasbro's Marvel Legends
Hasbro certainly wasted no time between waves 1 and 2 of their Marvel Legends relaunch. While fans are still clamoring to catch up with their 6" addiction, the latest series of heroes and villains have begun popping in stores. Today, we're taking a look at the "All Star" figure for Wave 2: Spider-Man! While the regular version features his Tron-like duds from the Big Time storyline, this variant is sporting the costume Spidey wears when hanging around his teammates over at the Future Foundation. It's been a long time since we've been excited about owning a Spider-Man figure, so let's see if this newest version can break that streak!
Proving White is Stealthy: 'G.I. Joe Renegades' Storm Shadow Figure Review
Posted 3/26/12 11:30 am EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Hasbro, Reviews, Toys
Toy Fair 2012: Hasbro's G.I. Joe: Retaliation Toys
Last year, Hasbro released, what has become, the "ultimate" Snake Eyes figure and it scored rather high on our Top Ten Toys List. Now, the forces of Cobra have thrown their hat in the ring with Snake Eyes' polar opposite (color-wise at least): Tomisaburo (Tommy) Arashikage a.k.a. Storm Shadow! The 30th anniversary Joe line has been a standout and we find ourselves searching the pegs at any and all stores we happen to be in that carry them. Why would we suddenly be so into G.I. Joe when we're also collecting about a million other toy lines? Because of figures like this one! Read on as we review a ninja who wears white but can still kill undetected.
Review: Marvel Legends Brings You Mutantkind's Only Hope
Posted 3/16/12 10:44 am EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Hasbro, Reviews, Toys
Toy Fair 2012: Hasbro's Marvel Legends
The Marvel Legends reviews just keep coming, and today we're taking a look at the catalyst for the upcoming Avengers vs. X-Men crossover: Hope Summers! The time-traveling mutant savior is easily the hardest to acquire figure from Hasbro's ML Wave 1. Sure, this is partly due to her being a short-packed female figure, but it is also a testament to just how popular she has become with fans of her Marvel Comics character and the importance that's being emphasized on her character as of late. For all intents and purposes, this red-haired mutant will be the new home of the Phoenix Force; but sadly, this Hope Summers figures may have more in common with Mr. Fantastic than Jean Grey.
Coming to Collect: Marvel Legends Ghost Rider Review
Posted 3/12/12 10:05 am EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Hasbro, Reviews, Toys
Toy Fair 2012: Hasbro's Marvel Legends
This spring has been Ghost Rider's time to shine with a frivolous lawsuit, a film full of Nicolas Cage-fueled insanity, and now a new figure in the first wave of Hasbro's re-launch of Marvel Legends! While the regular figure in this line is the blue-flamed Danny Ketch, we're taking a look at the variant version. Much like or review of Steve Rogers, this figure has a different paintjob than the regular Ghost Rider. He's got orange flames, a skull that looks like a Cheeto after the powder is licked off, and is orange-hued to be our own favorite Spirit of Vengeance: Johnny Blaze!
Review: Pistol Packin' Steve Rogers Marvel Legends Variant
Posted 3/6/12 12:00 pm EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Hasbro, Reviews, Toys
Toy Fair 2012: Hasbro's Marvel Legends Figures
As our Marvel Legends reviews roll on, Marvel Comics' favorite patriot Steve Rogers gets the spotlight! Hasbro's first wave of re-launched Marvel Legends has the Marvel Holy Trinity of Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America-- in a sense. When Steve Rogers worked his way back through time, or being dead, or whatever, he let Bucky keep the mantle of Captain America and forged on as a super soldier while using his own name and running the world's security forces. This new figure was one of our most anticipated from the new line-up but we only found the variant version on the pegs. In fact, it seems that the variant cases have been far more plentiful at retail thus far. Did this black-suited version live up to our red, white, and blue hopes and dreams? Read on to find out!

Toy Fair 2012: Hasbro's Marvel Legends
They're back! Months after the release of the SDCC-Exclusive Thor, Hasbro's re-launch of Marvel Legends has finally begun to hit retail shelves, and today we're bringing you our first review in the guise of the Iron Man Stealth Variant! Why review the variant first and not the regular version? Cause we haven't found it on the pegs yet, that's why! Get off our case, people! We're broken up enough about it as it is! Hell, it's enough to drive us to drink! Speakin' of drinkin', read on for our full review of Tony Stark's alter ego!
Toy Fair 2012: New Clue Game is About Committing the Crime, Not Solving It

A packaging mock-up for the upcoming Clue Elimination shown at Toy Fair 2012
Of all the games I was expecting to see from Hasbro at this year's Toy Fair, a dart shooting version of Clue was not among them. Color me surprised, but also color me impressed. Clue Elimination draws more inspiration from the free-form live-action game of Assassin than it does from traditional Clue, but Clue Elimination also looks quite fun.
Toy Fair 2012: Nerf Shows Off New Ways to Throw, Shoot, and Soak
Posted 2/21/12 12:30 pm EST by Matt Morgan in Hasbro, Toy Fair, Toys
Hasbro's Nerf line includes traditional sports balls, foam dart and disc guns, and also the Super Soaker brand, but all of them managed to receive impressive updates at this year's Toy Fair. The focus of these new products' features were either ways to play at night or ways to make blasters larger and more powerful. Either way, I can't wait to get my hands on them.

Posted 2/13/12 5:00 pm EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Hasbro, Toy Fair, Toys
Wave 1 of Hasbro's Marvel Legends have started popping up in stores and online to much fanfare and praise from collectors. It seems like having their first attempt at Legends fail really set them on the right course this time around. From the new sculpts and articulation, to the terrific comic-style packaging, Marvel Legends has once again been welcomed into the fold by the collecting community. During Toy Fair 2012, Hasbro premiered prototypes for two Wave 3 Legends: Blade and U.S. Agent!

Toy Fair 2012: The Lizard Revealed with Hasbro's 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Toys
Posted 2/12/12 5:14 pm EST by Lemonjuice McGee in Hasbro, Toy Fair, Toys
Before "The Amazing Spider-Man" swings into theaters this July, Hasbro will be making sure the toy aisles are loaded with all manner of plaything based on the film! During Toy Fair 2012, Hasbro got permission to show the 6" version of the Lizard in all his green-hued glory during their Media Event! Not relegated to only a figure, we were also treated to other toys in the line sporting his wicked visage, including a mask that can make anyone look like an unstable scientist who let their obsessions drive them over the edge! Like the current Spider-man toy line, Hasbro has directed most of this one towards the kiddos, but there are still some pieces that adults will want to grab.

This summer, The Avengers are finally assembling in theaters and Hasbro is bringing all of the superhero action to the toy aisle with a huge line up of action figures, vehicles, and role-play items! During Toy Fair 2012, Hasbro opened their showroom to the media and what we saw was pretty f'n great, to be honest!
