Hasbro’s gearing up for a whimsical take on toy launches with their “April Pools Day” event, spotlighting Deadpool & Wolverine Marvel Legends Legacy Figures. These aren’t your brand-spanking-new figures but a clever rerelease and re-paint with a twist, drawing from the rich tapestry of their cinematic universe, particularly nodding towards “Deadpool 2”. The Wolverine figure, decked out with accessories galore, pays homage to its “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” scene, while Deadpool comes with his iconic unicorn among other items. Anticipation is bubbling for these figures, set to drop in a fun, thematic pre-order on April 1st, teasing us until the actual figures roll out closer to the “Deadpool & Wolverine” film release in late July.
As a toy restoration enthusiast with a penchant for the unique, these Deadpool and Wolverine figures tickle my fancy in more ways than one. The blend of humor and homage in these figures is just spot-on. It’s like Hasbro decided to wink at us while saying, “Remember that time?” And, honestly, it’s refreshing to see toys that celebrate their cinematic journey with such cheeky reverence. Whether for the seasoned collector or the casual fan, these figures represent more than just memorabilia; they’re a playful poke at the nostalgia and the ever-evolving narrative of our beloved characters. My take? They’re a must-have, not just for their collectible value but for the sheer joy they’ll bring, sat on a shelf, reminding us of the laughs and thrills these characters have brought into our lives.
