Marvel Legends - STINGER!

Marvel Legends Astonishing Ant-Man 2-Pack - TRU Exclusive - Hasbro 2018

Toys R Us has given us some amazing Marvel Legends exclusives over the years. Just in the past twelve months, we've got Mary Jane Watson, Dark Phoenix, five great figures in the A-Force box set, and the recent Shuri as Black Panther. I especially love them because the majority of the figures are characters we would never see in a big box store. The final two ladies, a Scarlet Witch redeco and this Stinger figure, are keeping up the high standard, but it's kind of a solemn affair knowing these are likely the last of their kind. When the description of this set was leaked several months ago, the description was "Scott Lang and Cassie Lang" and I think the collective nerd conscious instantly got excited for a Stature to add to our mix-matched Young Avengers lineups. Clearly, we were all mistaken, but I am super happy with her Stinger incarnation as a consolation. In the late 90s, the alternate universe of MC2 was created and featured the children of various heroes and villains all grown up and donning costumes.



The most popular character to come out of MC2 was Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker), but second place definitely goes to Cassie Lang, the 20-something entomologist daughter of Scott Lang and member of A-Next. I always thought her design was very cool and I never thought we'd ever get another figure of her. Let's check her out below!















































Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!


Here she is with her 1999 Toybiz version.




And here she is with her pack-mate Ant-Man.








Cheers!
