Star-studded superhero merchandise tycoons, Hasbro, have got everyone chanting "My spider sense is tingling!" with their latest Marvel Legends lineup. This second-wave release is based on Sony’s award-sweeping animation, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The line-up includes crowd favorites given chic upgrades, and tantalizing new entries to the Marvel roster.

A Gossamer Web of New Characters

This latest wave has us meeting our friendly neighborhood Prowler, sporting the alias of Miles G. Morales, and Indian Spider-Man Pavitr Prabhakar, doing justice to diverse superhero representation. One could say it’s a smorgasbord of spandex-clad do-gooders. Hasbro also delivers us the unmasked, film-accurate version of Patriot rebel, Hobie, or as known by his spider alter-ego, Spider-Punk. In the old adage of out with the old, in with the new, certain characters like Gwen, Peter B. Parker, Miles, and Miguel O’Hara, have been given an aesthetic overhaul to resemble their movie counterparts even closer.

For those of you tired of the usual masked charade, our purpled friend, Hobie comes with an unmasked head that can be switched with his previous Spider-Punk figure. Gwen now has more colorful hair, probably inspired by the recent TikTok hair dye trends. Miguel’s been seen walking around with his holographic comrade LYLA. Pavitr has been spotted sporting a unique bracelet web-slinging accessory, and Peter B. Parker appears to have given in to the COVID gym rush trend, with a leaner, meaner figure. Prowler Miles now fittingly comes with a removable backpack to accommodate his crime-fighting snacks, and an extra head and hands, because who doesn’t need a spare?

Delivering on Demand

If you’re experiencing intense FOMO, these figures are up for preorder at various retail outlets, with the first batch set to ship out in December. And while it may seem like an agonizing eternity, remember you’ve been waiting longer for the upcoming sequel, which as of yet doesn’t have a release date. Talk about keeping fans on a spider web thread!

With such a rich roster of Spider-Verse characters, the possibilities are endless. Here’s hoping for future appearances from the likes of Kingpin and Dr. Octopus from the first movie. And the wish list for the sequel line-up could derail a bullet train! But in the meantime, this new line-up caters to the casual fan and movie gurus alike, delivering the characters they crave. Scurry along now, check out the visuals of the new line-up below, and may your spidey sense always tingle towards epic superhero finds.
