An iconic mask, a Star Wars helm, new X-Men ’97 and more go up for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse

Hasbro Pulse is loaded with for bear with big name pre-orders right now, including some fresh Star Wars and Marvel offerings.

From Plus to Pulse

We might be stretching it with that subheading, but we’re thinking it kind of fits today’s news. After all, Disney+ is kind of the home for both Marvel and Star Wars, and upcoming products from both iconic brands have just landed on Hasbro Pulse, the toy-giant’s online shop.

On the Marvel side, the X-Men ’97 TV show pretty easily features, with a pair of action figure two-packs. Not that comics fans are left with nothing though, as a former build-a-figure gets a mass release. Oh, and did we mention that the awesome Wolverine helmet from Deadpool and Wolverine has posted as well? As for Star Wars, there’s plenty there too. Fans can find a pair of Black Series figures from Revenge of the Sith, along a helmet hailing from Andor.

Marvel Legends

As mentioned, there are a bunch of fresh action figure pre-orders up right now on Hasbro Pulse. The X-Men do indeed take the spotlight too, with a double dose of X-Men ’97 action and a movie arrival. The first is a set that showcases both Rogue and Gambit in their athletic wear. Yup, it’s the (first?) basketball pack. Along those same lines is another two-pack that features Wolverine and Storm. Both heroes reflect their late-season 1 looks from X-Men ’97.

Breaking away from television though, is another double shot of pre-orders with Strong Guy and Deadpool. The former brings X-Factor’s Guido back around in what looks like a slightly revised form, and with a massive barbell accessory. Kinda neat, that. As for the Merc with a Mouth, this latest version of Deadpool is actually the third release in Marvel Legends‘ premium Maximum Series. As such, he looks to be packed with accessories, and even includes Doop.

Anybody else think he looks like Slimer?

But there is more for Marvel! Hasbro Pulse also unveiled a powerful lineup of new figures. The Marvel Legends Series Wolverine and Storm 2-Pack, inspired by X-Men ’97, brings two fan-favourites together with premium animation-style deco and nine character-inspired accessories. Marvel Legends Maximum Series Deadpool breaks into collections with over 30 points of articulation, 24 accessories (including Doop), and a display-worthy design that captures the Merc with a Mouth’s chaotic energy. Rounding out the wave, the Marvel Legends Series X-Factor Strong Guy captures Guido Carosella’s larger-than-life strength with premium design, seven accessories, and full articulation for posing.  And last but not least, the Marvel Legends Series Gambit and Rogue 2-Pack also joins the lineup, inspired by X-Men ’97’s unforgettable basketball scene and featuring premium animation-style deco, five accessories, and series-accurate details that bring the couple’s dynamic to life.

And last but not least, is that awesome looking Wolverine mask/helmet from Deadpool and Wolverine. Looking pretty darn close to the one worn by actor Hugh Jackman, Hasbro’s mass-market Wolvie mask looks to be nicely detailed, and comes complete with a stand. Oh yeah, and you can wear it too. It even touts interior padding.

First up, fans of the Marvel universe will be delighted to delve into a 1:1 scale reproduction with the Marvel Legends Series Wolverine Premium Roleplay Mask, inspired by the recent Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine movie. Featuring the character’s iconic yellow-and-black look, removable interior padding for comfort, and a stand for display, this premium roleplay mask is ready for cosplay, Halloween costumes, or as a centrepiece in any fan’s collection.

From the Galaxy far, far away

What’s a pre-order update without a few Star Wars releases? Well, we wouldn’t know, because Hasbro once again doesn’t look to disappoint, this time with a trio of new pre-orders that spin out of the brand’s Black Series. Two of those are figures, and then there’s what looks like it might be one of the coolest helms that we’ve seen yet from the company.

The figures though, are flat-out iconic, and bring both Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi back to 6″ life one more time. While we’ve seen these characters before in the Black Series, this time they’re reflecting their looks from Revenge of the Sith.

Meanwhile, the final movie in the prequel trilogy Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith is revisited with two essential additions to the Black Series line: Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Both figures feature film-inspired sculpting, photoreal deco, premium articulation, and their signature blue lightsabers. Fans can recreate the climactic duel on Mustafar or display the pair as the ultimate representation of friendship turned rivalry.

As for that helmet, yep, it’s the Shoretrooper. Pulled from the Star Wars series Andor, this new offering certainly looks the part, and even includes a “voice-changing” feature.

Star Wars fans need not fret as they can now step into the world of Andor with the Star Wars The Black Series Shoretrooper Electronic Helmet. Designed with series-accurate detail and deco, this premium helmet features an adjustable fit and built-in voice-changing technology to transform your voice into that of an Imperial shoretrooper. A must-have addition to any Black Series roleplay collection.
