Quick set today for a wave of Marvel Legends! The Disney+ Wave featured a solid line up of MCU characters all from the first wave of shows – Wandavision, Falcon and Winter Soldier and Loki. The Build a Figure wasn’t actually a figure, but the wings needed to get Sam Wilson Captain America in full flight mode with his upgraded Falcon gear. I’ve moved to grabbing key pieces for Marvel and then shooting them for the site even less, just keeping them on shelf for self. But this wave was solid front to back and I wanted dem wings, so a full wave and shoot it is!
We’ve done up over 55 HD shots after the break, read on to check them out along with some quick thoughts. These come courtesy of Dorkside Toys, check them out for all your Marvel Legends needs!

Overall Thoughts:
Captain America (Sam Wilson) – I dug the suit in the show, and this is a perfect way to rep that on the shelves. There will always be versions that do things better here and there, but this does it for me. 2 gripes – the Redwing attachment never stays inserted. If you do manage to get it in, look at it wrong and it’s falling out. Second, putting the back attached shield with another figure (that I don’t want) stinks.
Winter Soldier – Solid, a bit boring. But nails the show look as needed. Head sculpt and digi paint well done.
Baron Zemo – Solid, a bit boring. I sense a trend. Masked up is my preference.
U.S. Agent – Cool, but the inevitable re-release with a shield will make this one obsolete down the road. It is sharp in hand, the sculpt and paint pop together. That pistol does not come out of the holster either. :/
Loki – Solid, a bit boring. :). All of these are nailing the looks from show, which work in the show, but as a figure they don’t really do it. I don’t need Office Space Loki rocking out on the shelf, personally, but if you dig it – well done. Face/ paint is a great likeness.
Scarlet Witch – In promo pics I thought they dropped the ball on the face, but in hand it’s legit. Outfit pops with a rich red, just a good figure, glad she’s finally suited up.
White Vision – This is the Vision body we’ve got several times already. It’s ok, and I think it works better here in all white. Almost like a prototype (toy). The yellow bits are a bit much, would have preferred that to be more muted.
That’s about it. This was a quick round of shots and I went all in mostly for that wing set. There was no filler here tho, for MCU and D+ collectors, everything is a worthy add to the shelves.

Marvel Legends Disney+ Wave Gallery – Sam Cap, Scarlet Witch, Loki, White Vision & More!
Got the whole wave for the Sam Cap setup. But I wound up digging Scarlet Witch more than expected.
I was never a fan of Sam's Cap suit, and it looks worst here. It's way too busy and he needs a helmet dammit!
The entire wave lacked accessories, especially alternate hands. Scarlet Witch in the end was the clear winner here, though, with the biggest waste of plastic being U.S.Agent simply on the grounds that it's completely inaccurate.
Definitely would have liked additional hands to help Sam properly hold his shield. Also while Loki's figure is boring, he is so good on the show I love having him in my collection and can't wait to pose him with Mobius at the HasCon Cantina Bar getting drinks.
This was just such a boring wave.
I can't figure out why the massive lack of accessories. Loki needs an alternate head or at least shirt sleeve arms do you can do his non jacket scenes. Clearly this was a quick cash grab and we'll probably get stuff like President Loki, blue shirt Loki, etc. later.
Bucky is the worst of the lot. It's just absolutely boring in every way.
I'm not even counting US Agent who even Hasbro admits was pretty much inaccurate junk and promised a better one down the line.
Still no figures of Agatha? ):
Well, I’m gonna buck the trend here and say I love these. The whole set just shipped from BBTS so I’m pumped to get them, not so pumped to find shelf space.
The pics are great, yes the BAF could have been more interesting, but I’m happy to have these represented so quick in action figure form. We need more of course.
I would love….
Agatha in her witch outfit
Wanda and vision in black and white
Baby vision is a freaking must.
Jimmy and Darcy.
I would like a civilian Sam.
A flagsmasher.
And Loki, I will not go into details…..but if you saw this weeks episode, you know we need a lot.
Only one I’m eh on are Loki and US Agent. Otherwise this is a pretty solid wave. The face print tech has gotten real good.
I'm fine with that, especially if it means an old loki
If I had to suggest a more interesting wave, I would probably keep Wanda and Vision (while also giving vision some kind of effect piece) Drop U.S. Agent completely and swap him out with fem loki
Great photos as always. I love the wave. I'm a MCU and D+ collectors, so everything is a worthy add to the shelves as mentioned. I'm their target audience for this wave. I don't know how many of you are still holding your action figures and flying them around going "pew pew", so I don't know how "play value" can be gauged here. For me they're just poseable mini-statues that represent characters of shows that I enjoyed, which is pretty much all of them. I wasn't sure about Loki at first, but the show certainly have changed my mind on that. As for U.S. Agent, yeah it sucks that it's not accurate, but I'm a model builder so a little sanding and painting fixed majority of the problems.
In terms of these figures lacking accessories, wouldn't it be due to the large tooling budget on this wave. There's a whole mess of new parts and that's not cheap.
I'm with GizmoTron. There are some good sculpts here, especially Wanda. I hope the Loki variants are at least as good.
They could fill an entire wave +BAF just from Loki. And I hope they do.
Scalpers can go suck eggs. I can't find Wanda anywhere online for Retail. Gamestop.com out of stock Best buy.com not up for pre-order yet Amazon 3rd party scalpers wanting 40 + dollars non sold and shipped from amazon right now same for Ebay as in 40+ dollars. Who knew it would be this of all the figures.
I agree I hate that sam's wings are the BAF thing. Just give me the wings with the Sam figure.
Also if any of the D+ figures get price reduction/clearance in the coming months it will probably be Bucky Loki and US Agent

All around me, it's basically just Bucky and Zemo rotting on pegs. Loki and Wanda are totally not seen.
I was just in Disney Springs and they were jam packed with the entire wave. I imagine pretty soon they'll just be jam packed with Bucky and US Agent, as they are already jam packed with Greef Karga in every scale from those waves, with the rest of those waves long gone.
