Hold Up, X-Men '97 Beast Figure Drops... in FALL 2026?

Get ready, X-Men '97 fans, but maybe not too ready. Hasbro just unveiled the highly anticipated Marvel Legends Beast figure, inspired by the hit Disney+ series. The catch? You'll have to wait until Fall 2026 to get your hands on him. Yes, Fall 2026. This is a serious wait for what's been one of the most requested additions to the X-Men '97 collection.
Beast, Hank McCoy himself, is essential to completing the core team. Fans have been vocal about wanting this new sculpt, which perfectly captures his updated animated design. The 6-inch figure comes packed with accessories: goggles, a backpack, alternate hands, and a battle-ready head sculpt. Unlike some previous releases, Beast arrives in standard window-box packaging, not the retro card-backs. While an official price is still under wraps, pre-orders kick off August 19 on Hasbro Pulse. Prepare for the long haul!

Catzye Take
A Fall 2026 release date for an August 2024 pre-order is an unusually long lead time for a collectible. This could signal either an incredibly backed-up production schedule for Hasbro or a strategic staggered release to build hype. Regardless, fans will want to jump on those pre-orders fast; this Beast is too vital to the X-Men '97 roster to miss.
