A Collectible Figure Unboxing
Hasbro’s Marvel Legends series is getting a “reboot” with the new Maximum Series of highly-articulated and super-detailed line of action figures with the debut of none other than everyone’s favorite web-slinger!
The Marvel Legends line of action figures has become the most sought-after collection of superhero collectibles since the 80s run of G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe, and the Star Wars franchise of films. It’s no surprise that the line popularized by Hasbro has become a favorite with adult collectors. The ever-expanding, colorful selection has encompassed and reflected decades of Marvel Comics. It has also included characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, offering an infinite array of super-powered good versus evil in the palm of your hand!
Undoubtedly, it’s been a hectic season for Hasbro, which is having to keep up with New Avengers*, animated X-Men, and a series of landmark anniversaries across the publishing imprint, including celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Secret Wars action figures, which Marvel Legends has packaged to replicate the look of Mattel Toys original blister card nostalgically. Still, the toy manufacturer has decided it was also essential to stay ahead of market demands from collectors and agreed to pursue releasing a new and improved line of toys.
They are calling it the Maximum Series, and while the figures are still in line with the rest of the mostly 6” Marvel Legends series, each one is promised to feature more articulation and accessories to recreate favorite comic book poses. The first in the new Maximum Series is none other than Spider-Man, the web-slinger, who has also proven himself the standard bearer for the Marvel brand over the decades and appears in his stylishly classic red and blue suit, with contemporary details. The accessories included unmask the man behind the bug eyes, Peter Parker, and an arsenal of webbing.

Compared to previous releases of the friendly neighborhood hero, this Spidey maintains the same quality, and collectors can be assured the figure is accurate to comic appearances, especially the modern-era look adopted in the mid-90s at the height of the comic book’s popularity. The figure's appearance is exceptional, and with the heightened articulation of the Maximum Series, boasting over 35 points overall, it’s simple to recreate and capitalize on some of Spidey’s most daring action poses. Compared with the “Black Costumed” Secret Wars release, it perfectly captures the spirit of Marvel.
The 20 accessories included with the Maximum Series also enhance display options, reflecting moments that allow you to recreate many of Spider-Man’s more popular web slings and swings. I waited some time for the perfect version of the classic/modern red-and-blue suit, and I believe that the Maximum Series Spider-Man has got me in its web! Hasbro is promising additional releases with Hulk being the next in the bunch, but a word to the wise, save your pennies — the Maximum Series of figures are priced a little higher than the regular Legends, but well worth it.
Other recent Marvel Legends figures that have emerged as new favorites for me include the Deadpool and Wolverine figures based on the movie, as well as the Colossus figure, which features the X-Man from that film franchise. #StayTuned for more on those releases soon.
