Black Hand Ninjas do exist, so it’s not like Hasbro is making it up or anything, but I hope we see a red version as an army-builder down the road-ultimately, that is the version most fans want to army-build, in my opinion.įinally, we’ve got a deluxe boxed figure that Hasbro swears up and down has nothing at all to do with the upcoming Spider-Man No Way Home movie: an updated MCU Vulture from Spider-Man Homecoming (note that Spider-Man Homecoming logo-Hasbro made sure to point out repeatedly that this is from Homecoming and totally has nothing to do with that new Tom Holland movie coming at the end of the year).

I closely associate Hand Ninjas with the color red in my mind, as that’s how I’m used to seeing them most frequently in the comics, so it hadn’t occurred to me they’d be in black clothes when they’d get the $14.99 Hasbro Pulse website army-builder treatment. Next up, we’ve got a figure that I don’t think is necessarily a “surprise”, as it seemed like an eventual inevitability, but I was a bit taken aback by the color of: a black repaint of the Hand Ninja (originally from this year’s Stilt-Man Build-A-Figure series, but in red). If there has been a hella cool toy of Binary like this when I was a kid, I reckon I would have liked this identity for Carol a whole lot more. And the explosion-looking flaming hair is just awesome. We get four fiery effects pieces and interchangeable fists/energy casting hands for weapons, which is a pretty generous spread. While Binary isn’t exactly an iteration of Carol Danvers I’m in love with, I do think this Walgreens Exclusive Binary figure is rockin’. After this Binary was near-omnipotent and effectively written out of regular comics appearance until the 90s, but it’s still a well-remembered look for the character.

Things went sour for the Brood when they accidentally transformed Carol into Binary, though, who had the insane power of being able to tap into a White Hole. Given that Carol Danvers is one of the most recognizable characters in the world now with mainstream fans as Captain Marvel, it’s about time we got our first 6” figure of her in her sometimes-forgotten Binary form.įor those who don’t know this version of the character, way back in fall 1982 (when I was busy being born), a de-powered Carol Danvers-who was on a space adventure with the X-Men-was capture and experimented on by the Brood.

While there have been zero physical conventions or events for Hasbro to show off their upcoming Marvel toys and collectibles at this far in 2021 (I’ve got high hopes for seeing new reveals in person at New York Comic Con 2021 in two months, but there’s still plenty of time for NYCC to be cancelled, so I’m still in “wait-and-see” mode), that doesn’t mean Hasbro hasn’t been pumping out new action figures in full throughout the year!Īnd to coincide with last week’s livestream that launched the Marvel Legends Watcher Series of What If/Loki figures, the big H also had three unexpected surprises to debut as well.įirst up, it’s the final figure in this year’s Walgreens Exclusive sub-theme of cosmic characters: Marvel Legends Binary.
