Walk into any store with pop culture merchandise, and you’re sure to find something Deadpool. The ultra-popular, potty-mouthed Marvel character is no stranger to all manner of merch from toys and plushes to socks, water bottles, bedsheets, and so much more. Deadpool is, and will continue to be, everywhere. And yet, his new Marvel Legends figure is so good, it still somehow stands head, shoulders, and samurai swords above the rest.
Hasbro just revealed the Marvel Legends Maximum Series Deadpool, and it’s epic. Six-inch scale, fully articulated, with a posable head, arms, and legs, the figure comes with 24 accessories. Those include “alternate head, 2 pointer hands, thumbs up, v fingers, 2 fists, 2 grip hands, knife, 2 swords, blaster, 3 blast effects, stick of dynamite, a chimichanga, weapon accessories,” and “that loveable spud Doop with a clear floating stand.”
It costs $50 and goes up for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse at 1 p.m. ET on August 26, aimed at a fall release. Here are some images.
Though this Deadpool is clearly inspired by the Deadpool, X-Men, and X-Force comics the character regularly appears in, it will definitely satisfy fans who know him from the movies too. Especially since there’s a chance Deadpool could come back to the big screen next year with a rumored role in Avengers: Doomsday. Plus, star Ryan Reynolds has spoken about a new team-up movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to follow up last year’s mega-hit Deadpool & Wolverine. So the Merc with the Mouth isn’t going anywhere, except, maybe, your toy shelf.
Again, the figure costs $50 and will be available to pre-order next week on Hasbro Pulse. Are you going to grab one?
