The whole Wave Marvel Legend Series taken from the Disney Plus series will be available from August 2021 and includes 7 key characters of this new television universe.

Scarlet Witch

In the season finale of Wanda Vision, Wanda finally becomes aware of her powers and becomes Scarlet Witch. The figure will be equipped with interchangeable parts and effects that simulate her powers.

Actually we still know little about this Loki, we only know that it is the same Loki who appeared in Endgame after he escaped with the cosmic cube. The figure does not have any interchangeable parts or accessories for Loki

U.S. Agent

After ceasing to be Captain America, John Walker is awarded the title of U.S. Agent. A pair of closed fists will be included in the package.

Winter Soldier

Although the Winter Soldier is the code name given to his previous identity in the series, we heard him called White Wolf, the name chosen by the Wakandians. His spare hands will be included in the blister.

Zemo

One of the most equipped characters of this Wave. Zemo is a Villain but in the series he still acts in an undefined area. It is equipped with interchangeable parts, a gold pistol, a notebook and a purple hooded head, similar to that of the Marvel comics.

Captain America (Sam Wilson)

We left it for last because in addition to being our favorite, this Cap must necessarily purchase all the other action figures to see its complete form. Each of them includes a component that is used to create the Falcon version of Captain America's wings.

Bonus (Falcon Wings)

Hasbro Slips After Swing to Profit, Miss on Revenue

Hasbro delivered a mixed bag Tuesday after the iconic toymaker posted a first-quarter profit while coming up short of Wall Street's revenue expectations.

Shares of the Pawtucket, R.I., company at last check were off 1%.

Hasbro reported net income of $116.2 million, or 84 cents a share, compared with a net loss of $69.7 million, or 51 cents a share, in the year-earlier quarter. The latest adjusted earnings came to $1 a share, beating the FactSet analyst consensus of 64 cents.

Revenue totaled $1.11 billion, up 0.8% from a year earlier, while the FactSet consensus called for revenue to reach $1.17 billion.

Revenue grew 14% in the consumer products segment and 15% in the Wizards of the Coast and digital gaming segment, the company said.

Entertainment segment revenue declined due to what Hasbro called 'expected declines in theatrical and timing of deliveries planned for later in the year.' Revenue in television and theater fell 34%.

The theatrical business continues to feel the impact of COVID-19-related theater shutdowns, the company said. A year earlier, theaters were open for most of the quarter.

Scripted TV deliveries are scheduled to increase later in the current year, Hasbro said, 'and we are targeting returning to 2019 levels of revenue for the full-year 2021 in the TV and film business.'

'We continue to target full-year double-digit revenue growth for Hasbro supported by innovation and quality execution throughout the business,' Chairman and Chief Executive Brian Goldner said in a statement.

Last week, Berenberg analyst David Beckel said Hasbro and its toymaking peer Mattel have both 'come through the pandemic stronger than they entered.'

Earlier this month, Hasbro and videogame platform Roblox announced a venture that will create new nerf and Monopoly game products based on the Roblox platform.

In February, Hasbro gave its popular potato-shaped toy, Mr. Potato Head, a brand makeover by renaming the spud simply 'Potato Head' and dropping the 'Mr.' title.
