Hasbro, the renowned toy and game manufacturer, has unveiled its latest marvel to join the Marvel Legends lineup – a highly detailed 6-inch action figure of Man-Thing, the monstrous swamp creature from the 2022 Marvel Studios television special “Werewolf by Night.” This eagerly awaited collectible promises to bring the terrifying yet intriguing character to life, allowing fans to add a piece of the critically acclaimed MCU project to their collections.
The “Werewolf by Night” special, initially released in striking black-and-white before receiving a colorized version, followed a group of monster hunters competing to determine their next leader. Among the challengers was Jack Russell, a secret werewolf, who encountered the formidable Man-Thing, also known as Ted, within the haunting confines of Bloodstone Manor. Ted, a former friend of Russell’s, played a pivotal role in the thrilling events that unfolded, solidifying his status as a powerful ally in the Marvel universe.
Hasbro’s upcoming Man-Thing Marvel Legends figure captures the essence of this iconic monster with meticulous detail. Standing at approximately 6 inches tall, the figure boasts an impressive 20 points of articulation, allowing collectors to pose and display Man-Thing in a variety of dynamic and ominous stances. The figure’s monstrous limbs and swamp-inspired design are brought to life with a new torso, head, forearms, and shins sculpted specifically for this release.
To add to the authenticity, the Man-Thing figure comes equipped with two alternate hands, enabling fans to recreate various scenes from the “Werewolf by Night” special or explore their own imaginative scenarios. The figure’s fully poseable head, arms, and legs ensure that collectors can achieve a wide range of expressive and lifelike poses.
Hasbro has not only focused on the figure’s design but has also crafted collectible window-box packaging featuring exclusive “Werewolf by Night” artwork, elevating the overall presentation and collectibility of this release.
While the future of “Werewolf by Night” and its potential for further MCU appearances remains uncertain, hopes for additional content featuring these beloved characters run high among fans and actors alike. Regardless, the Man-Thing Marvel Legends figure promises to be a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts eager to own a piece of this thrilling Marvel tale.
Pre-orders for the Man-Thing Marvel Legends figure will open on June 13, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. EST, with a suggested retail price of $39.99.
