Hasbro brings us six new NEW Marvel Legends Retro Wave 1 Action Figures celebrating the Kenner Toy Company Action Figures days.
Hasbro Marvel Legends Retro Wave 1 Action Figures
Marvel has over 80 years of entertainment history under its belt and has become a firm cornerstone of fan collections. These Marvel Legends Retro characters are designed with premium detail and articulation for easy display.
Marvel Legends Retro Wave 1
Wave 1 kicks off with the Marvel comic characters, The Incredible Hulk, Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), Captain America, Magneto, Spider-Man, and Fantastic 4s Human Torch.
This new line of Hasbro Retro action figures pays tribute to Kenner the famous Toy manufacturer from days long gone. If you are scratching your head then it was Kenner who brought us the original Star Wars action figures. These figures really broke the mold. Some of these original carded Star Wars figures sell for many thousands of dollars which is quite the gain on investment from when they were first released.
These Marvel Legends Retro Wave 1 action figures are available from a number of online outlets and retail stores. The best online retailer we have found for these figures is Entertainment Earth.
If you buy the set from Entertainment Earth you will receive Free Postage on all orders over $39+ and will also receive Entertainment Earths Mint Condition Guarantee so you never have to worry about receiving damaged Collectibles.
These figures are classed as toys for 4+ but we consider them to be very much part of the collector market.
A case of Marvel Legends Retro Wave 1 Action Figures typically includes the following characters.:
2x Hulk
1x Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel)
1x Captain America
2x Spider-Man
1x Magneto
1x Human Torch
(subject to change)
The Hulk and Spider-Man are the common figures in the wave.
Each figure has 5 points of articulation which is not many but they are competitively priced at $11.99 each (£13-99 UK).

The Hulk
A botched experiment gives what would normally be a lethal dose of gamma radiation to Dr. Bruce Banner. Bruce survives but now when he gets angry he transforms into The Incredible Hulk.

Captain America
Of course, Captain America is part of the Retro Series Wave 1. I am surprised though that Iron Man didn’t make it onto Wave 1 as well.

The Mutant Magneto is one of the best figures in this opening Retro Wave. He looks great and the artwork on the card back is awesome.
