Marvel Legends Avengers: Infinity War Outriders 2-Pack Pre-Orders Drop Today

by

As a long-time Marvel fan with a heart full of nostalgia, I can’t help but feel exhilarated by the latest announcements from Hasbro. The Avengers: Infinity War Outriders 2-pack has finally made its way to our shelves, and just like Thanos himself, I’ve been waiting patiently for this moment. The anticipation was worth it, as these figures are sure to bolster any Marvel Legends collection.

After a considerable delay since the initial release of the Marvel Legends Avengers: Infinity War Outriders 2-pack and the film itself back in 2018, Hasbro has finally made them available for purchase. This set consists of two figures representing Thanos’ Outriders for expanding your collection. Pre-orders can be placed starting today, August 29th at 10am PT / 1pm ET. More details are provided below. Important to note that the Captain America figure featured in Hasbro’s image by Dan Yun is not included in this set. It was initially launched as an exclusive item at Walmart in 2021.

At the product’s release, it’s anticipated that pre-orders will become active on Entertainment Earth. However, the cost remains undisclosed as of now. Remember, U.S. shipping is free for orders exceeding $59 at Entertainment Earth, and they are currently offering a sale: 10% off orders over $100, $25 off orders over $200, and $50 off orders over $300 until September 2nd. Additionally, the item should appear on Amazon later today. Further details and links will be provided post-launch, so keep an eye out!

In other updates regarding Marvel Legends collections, Hasbro recently introduced a two-pack featuring the Punisher and Bushwacker, modeled after the Punisher War Journal comic series. You can now pre-order this set on Entertainment Earth for $54.99, with an expected launch in January. Unfortunately, Amazon’s listing is currently out of stock. The collection includes a total of 13 accessories such as an alternative head for Punisher, various hands for both characters, and weapons.

As a gamer, if you’re not already in the know, let me fill you in about Bushwacker, or Carl Burbank – a character who swapped his priestly robe for a CIA assassin’s cloak (quite the switch, huh?). He first made an appearance in Daredevil #248 back in 1987, crafted by Ann Nocenti and Rick Leonardi. You’ll most often find him tangling with Daredevil, but he’s also gone toe-to-toe with the likes of Wolverine from the X-Men and the Punisher. In this context, “hired gun” takes on a whole new dimension – he’s a baddie renowned for his extraordinary ability to morph his cybernetic arm into an assortment of firearms.

Captain America: Brave New World Resets The Table For The MCU

The Multiverse Saga has brought numerous alterations to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). As stated by Anthony Mackie, “Captain America: Brave New World” significantly rearranges the pieces on the board for our Earth-bound superheroes. Meanwhile, Deadpool and Wolverine are causing chaos across time, leaving street-level heroes like Sam Wilson with a challenging task ahead. Mackie hinted to Entertainment Weekly (EW) that this film provides significant clues about the future trajectory of these storylines. With global powers growing restless, which is typically not a positive sign.

The Winter Soldier set the tone for where Marvel was headed, this movie appears to be doing the same.

Mackie expressed, “The title suggests a shift to a larger, more challenging adversary; we’re venturing into uncharted territory.” From Captain America: The First Avenger to Endgame, the battle was always about good versus evil. Now that we’ve overcome that, what’s next? When the villains resurface, will they be in a different guise? This new plotline introduces fresh characters, novel ideologies, and paints a picture of a completely new world we’re entering.
