Junkies, Toy Fair 2019 has come and gone and now begins the long wait for these items to arrive in stores or with online retailers. As we sit back and reflect on Toy Fair 2019, we decided to bring you a variety of lists and top 10's. Today we present to you our "Top 10 Must-Have HASBRO 2019 Toy Fair Reveals"! That does not mean we aren't excited about the upcoming General Grievous or Wave 4 of the Marvel Legends X-Men. We just wanted to spotlight the new releases we saw for the first time at Toy Fair. #AFJ4LIFE
FYI: This was tough top 10 as Hasbro has so many new properties include Overwatch and the Power Rangers now.
MARVEL LEGENDS X-MEN RETRO SERIES 6-INCH SILVER SAMURAI Figure
(HASBRO/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Fall 2019) - Available at most major retailers.
AFJ's Why: This is awesome news as Hasbro is going to continue honoring the old Toy Biz line with new figures. Silver Samurai here will be to scale with his comic book likeness. In short, he will be a massive figure and a worthy opponent to the Wolverine release.
MARVEL LEGENDS X-MEN RETRO SERIES 6-INCH CYCLOPS Figure
(HASBRO/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Fall 2019) - Available at most major retailers.
AFJ's Why: Yes, again with the Toy Biz figures. Cyclops is a fascinating character and here is in his second X-Force garb. It is the multiple heads, the eye-blast, and the packaging, that makes him a must for us, Junkies!
MARVEL SPIDER-MAN LEGENDS SERIES 6-INCH SCORPION Figure
(HASBRO/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Spring 2019) - Available at most major retailers.
AFJ's Why: Finally! the Scorpion hasn't had a decent figure since 2005 (Toy Biz Spider-Man line). We also called his new Marvel LEgends in our "Toy Fair Predictions" (seen HERE), along with a few others. Thanks, Hasbro!
OVERWATCH ULTIMATES SERIES 6-INCH TRACER Figure
(HASBRO/Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99 /Available: Spring 2019)
AFJ's Why: We don't play Overwatch but this figure, from her hair to the details of her costume, is awesome. We didn't watch Doctor Who until we saw all the toys. I guess we had better find out what Overwatch is all about.
POWER RANGERS LIGHTNING COLLECTION 6” GOLDAR Figure
(HASBRO/Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: Unknown at this time /Available: Fall 2019) - Available at GameStop
AFJ's Why: This is going to be a hot figure come Fall. Goldar will not be a part of the regular releases so it will be off to GameStop to pick him up. Trust us, Junkies, pre-order Goldar the day the pre-order is available. It is, to date, the best figure of the character.
POWER RANGERS LIGHTNING COLLECTION 6” MIGHTY MORPHIN LORD ZEDD Figure
(Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Spring 2019)
AFJ's Why: To be honest, I not a huge Power Rangers fan. I've never understood its appeal. I am, however, a huge fan of the artist who designed the boxes, Tom Whalen (see his site HERE). That being said, I loved the following two figures, outside of their awesome box art, for the sculpts and articulation.
POWER RANGERS LIGHTNING COLLECTION 6” S.P.D. SHADOW RANGER Figure
(Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Spring 2019)
AFJ's Why: See Lord Zedd for reasons as to why I have to have the Shadow Ranger.
STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES DUEL OF THE FATES 6-INCH DARTH MAUL and OBI-WAN KENOBI Figures
(HASBRO/Ages: 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $24.99/Available: Spring 2019) - Available exclusively at Star Wars Celebration.
AFJ's Why: I'll fight the urge to not pick up both, but who am I kidding, I need both. Having already unboxed my original Darth Maul Black Series figure, it will be nice to have one carded. If I had to have to flip a coin, it will be for Obi-Wan. Hard to believe that The Phantom Menace is 20 years old.
MARVEL 80th ANNIVERSARY LEGENDS SERIES 6-INCH WOLVERINE and HULK Figure 2-Pack
(HASBRO/Approx. Retail Price: $59.99/Available: Fall 2019)
AFJ's Why: This is an incredible two-pack of their monumental first meeting as well as Wolverine's first appearance. Besides being an 80th Anniversary Legends release, that Hulk is incredible. Yep, I just wrote that. Seriously, he looks to be the best comic book Hulk to date from Hasbro.
MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES 6-INCH X-MEN BROTHERHOOD 3-Pack
(HASBRO/Approx. Retail Price: $59.99/Available: Fall 2019) - Available exclusively at Amazon.
AFJ's Why: The colors alone are fantastic and scream pure Marvel! This will not be hard to keep in the package as each character looks fantastic just as they are.
