Scorpion Strikes Marvel Legends, But Collectors Face a Two-Year Wait
Get ready to clear shelf space, but maybe not too soon. Hasbro's latest Marvel Legends reveal for Scorpion comes with a surprisingly distant Fall 2026 release date. Yes, pre-orders start August 1, 2024, but collectors will be waiting over two years for this classic Spider-Man villain to arrive.
This new 6-inch figure brings Mac Gargan's iconic Scorpion to life, faithfully recreating his original comic book appearance. Created by legends Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Scorpion began as J. Jonah Jameson's ill-fated experiment to counter Spider-Man. The figure boasts an articulated tail, interchangeable hands, and an alternate screaming head sculpt—perfect for dynamic poses. It's an Amazon exclusive, priced at $27.99. A definite must-have for classic Spidey rogues galleries, if you have the patience.

Catzye Take
This two-year wait for a new Marvel Legends figure is a significant shift in production timelines. While the classic design looks great, fans will want to consider if the wait is worth it, or if this indicates a broader trend of longer lead times for exclusives. What's interesting is how Amazon exclusivity might play into these delays.
