Hasbro has just dropped a pair of mean, lean, six-armed alien machines into the Marvel Legends line with their Avengers: Infinity War Outriders 2-Pack. As someone who’s dabbled in more than a few figure restorations, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by these new additions.

First Impressions of the Figures

The Outriders are depicted in their full, six-armed glory, with some seriously sharp details in the sculpt. Hasbro has captured the creature’s alien anatomy well—those elongated limbs, the insect-like faces, and the sinewy musculature all scream “otherworldly.” The dark, almost metallic finish adds to their ominous presence, making them look as deadly on your shelf as they do on the battlefield.

Articulation is where these figures truly shine. With multiple points of movement, including those extra arms, you can pose these guys in a variety of action stances, ready to swarm your Avengers lineup. I’m particularly impressed with how flexible yet sturdy they seem from the photos. It’s not uncommon for extra appendages on figures to feel flimsy, but Hasbro seems to have nailed the balance between articulation and durability here.

Outriders in Infinity War: What Are They?

Outriders are a bio engineered race bred for one purpose to hunt and destroy

Let’s take a quick detour for those wondering, “What exactly are these Outriders?” In Avengers: Infinity War, the Outriders are a bio-engineered race, bred for one purpose: to hunt and destroy. Created by Thanos, these mindless creatures are essentially his enforcers, deployed to do his dirty work during key battles like the Battle of Wakanda and the Battle of Earth. Their relentless nature and eerie, insectoid design make them some of the most formidable foes the Avengers have faced.

If you’re keen to dig deeper into their backstory, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Marvel Comics offer fascinating insights into how these terrifying beings came to be, while Wikipedia’s entry on Species of the Marvel Cinematic Universe gives a broader perspective.

Marvel Legends Delivers Again

Hasbro’s Marvel Legends series continues to impress with the attention to detail and quality, and this Infinity War Outriders 2-Pack is no exception. Whether you’re re-enacting the epic battle scenes or just looking to fill out your MCU collection, these figures are a solid choice. Personally, I’m excited to see how they look next to other recently released figures like the Bushwacker and Punisher 2-Pack or the Dr. Strange, Wong, and Bats Multipack.

For those of us who are Marvel fans, Hasbro has hit it out of the park with these Outriders. They might not be the most iconic characters, but their role in Infinity War makes them essential for completing any serious collection. And with the care Hasbro has taken to get their look just right, these figures are bound to stand out on your display shelf.
