Marvel Legends Fan-Stream Breakdown Dec. 2025
Marvel Legends’ Final Fanstream of 2025 Sets the Tone for 2026, and It Tells Collectors Exactly What to Expect
Hasbro closed out 2025 with its final Marvel Legends Fanstream of the year, and while the stream leaned into holiday energy and community love, the reveals themselves were anything but casual. This was not just a year-end hang. It was a roadmap.
Across the MCU and comics, the theme was clear. Hasbro is doubling down on the kinds of releases collectors actually build shelves around. More meaningful accessories. More intentional two-packs. More team completion. More deluxe-style pieces that feel like events, not filler.
For seasoned collectors, the signal here matters. If 2025 was about experimentation and expanding lanes, this Fanstream framed 2026 as a year of follow-through.
The “I Love You 3000” Iron Man Starts With a Gift-First Collector Moment
The stream opened with something completely different in tone, but very deliberate in concept. An “I Love You 3000” Iron Man figure, positioned as a gift you give to someone you appreciate. The figure comes in foil-style packaging designed for gifting, with a write-in message area inside so you can literally turn the box into a note.
The figure itself is a pink Iron Man variant, complete with heart-themed repulsor effects, alternate hands, and a rose accessory. It is intentionally kitschy, intentionally sweet, and intentionally aimed at the kind of collector reality most of us live in, where our hobby overlaps with the people we share space and life with.
Pre-order date confirmed: December 18 at 1 PM ET, which is 2 PM Atlantic.
Deadpool and Wolverine Takes Center Stage, and This Wave Finally Feels Complete
The main event was the first major 2026 wave tied to Deadpool & Wolverine. Hasbro openly acknowledged the wave was delayed because early on they did not have enough film reference to do the characters justice. Now that they do, they are clearly trying to make up for lost time.
This wave leans heavily into what collectors want from MCU Legends. Not just the character selection, but the display options that make the figures feel worth the shelf space.
Cassandra Nova
Cassandra Nova was shown with a Mr. Paradox alternate head and an unsettling “hand phasing through head” accessory setup, exactly the kind of weird, specific display gimmick that makes MCU waves feel alive.
X-23 (Laura)
Laura looks like one of the strongest figures in the assortment. Multiple head options, removable glasses, claw options including toe claws, a backpack, and the small helmet accessory tied to her film appearance.
Blade
Blade was framed as a long-awaited inclusion, and the figure comes loaded. Alternate heads, multiple sunglasses, weapons, and a presentation that makes it clear Hasbro expects this one to land with collectors hard.
Cowboypool
Cowboypool represents the Deadpool Corps energy, with a spinning pistol accessory that the hosts specifically called out as a major accessory win.
Wolverine (Brown Suit)
Brown Suit Wolverine was highlighted as the strongest movie Wolverine Hasbro has done so far, with a masked look and a compatibility play. The team included an alternate neck piece so collectors can swap in an unmasked head from a prior figure and create a more movie-accurate look.
Yellow suited Wolverine
A yellow suited Wolverine was discussed as still being tweaked, which is why it was not physically in hand during the stream segment, but it was shown via official images in coverage.
Pre-order date confirmed for the wave: December 16 at 1 PM ET, which is 2 PM Atlantic.
Deluxe Deadpool Goes Full Chaos, and Dogpool Takes the Spotlight
Hasbro also revealed a deluxe Deadpool pack that is clearly designed to be a centerpiece purchase. It includes Dogpool and a pile of accessories tied to the opening sequence, including the Logan corpse gag accessories described in-stream.
They also noted the Deadpool color tone is deeper red than the earlier release, framed as an improvement based on feedback.
Pre-order date confirmed: January 29 at 1 PM ET, which is 2 PM Atlantic.
Grizzly Pays Off the Gold Bar Teases, and It’s Secretly Built for More Than One Shelf
One of the smartest collector releases in the stream was Grizzly, which finally revealed what the earlier gold bar and money bag teases were pointing to.
Hasbro framed this as a fan channel exclusive that also functions like a double-purpose pickup. Grizzly comes with a bear head and other parts that let collectors also create a new Ursa Major display option, including an articulated jaw on the alternate head.
Pre-order date confirmed: January 15 at 1 PM ET, which is 2 PM Atlantic. Fan channel retailers, Amazon excluded.
Classic Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider Returns With a New Head Trick
The stream also brought back Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider with motorcycle, noting it has been years since they last did this specific “on-bike” Blaze setup.
This new release includes flame wheel effects, bike detailing, removable parts depending on display preference, and a standout new alternate head concept. A skull encased inside a flame effect that wraps around the head.
Pre-order timing: January 2026, but the exact date is still TBD.
A Hulk Program Begins With a Massive Abomination, and Three More Are Coming
Hasbro revealed a large classic Abomination, described as their most massive and impressive take to date, using the Gamerverse body as a base while adding a new classic head and multiple alternate heads, including a gruesome Immortal Hulk-inspired option.
More importantly, they framed this as the start of a 2026 “Hulk program,” with three more similarly packaged releases teased but not yet revealed.
No specific pre-order date was confirmed during this segment.
Astonishing X-Men Gets a Key Piece With Kitty Pryde and Colossus
For X-Men collectors, the strongest comic moment was the Astonishing X-Men Shadowcat and Colossus two-pack, presented explicitly as a response to the ongoing collector complaint that teams take too long to finish.
The pack includes alternate heads and hands, plus Lockheed. It is the kind of release that immediately creates a display anchor for an era of X-Men that still has huge demand in Legends.
Pre-order date confirmed: January 8, available via Amazon and fan channel.
The Long Tease Pays Off With Punisher Hulkbuster Armor
Months of teasing rockets, trails, launchers, and helmet pieces finally resolved into the full reveal. Punisher Hulkbuster Armor.
Hasbro made it clear this was an early prototype, with colors and details still being finalized, and they did not confirm ordering specifics beyond a general 2026 release window.
The Final Two Teases: A Blaster and a Bird
The stream ended with two quick teases. A large blaster accessory and a bird figure tease.
Collectors are already going to speculate, but importantly, these were not officially confirmed in-stream as final answers. For now, they remain teases.
What This Fanstream Really Told Collectors
This stream was not about flooding the line. It was about reinforcing confidence.
Hasbro leaned into releases that feel curated and intentional. Figures built for displays, scenes, and teams. A wave that finally lets Deadpool and Wolverine collectors breathe. A comic side that continues to respect the long game. And teases that clearly point to even more heavy hitters coming in 2026.
If you collect Marvel Legends seriously, this Fanstream was a reminder that the brand is not slowing down. It is sharpening its focus.
