Marvel Legends - RESCUE!

Marvel Legends - Avengers Endgame (Hulk Build-a-Figure) - Rescue - Hasbro 2019

This Rescue Marvel Legends figure is a long time coming. Back in 2013, there was a third wave of Legends figures tied to the film Iron Man 3. It's pretty rare for a third wave of movie figures, so I wasn't totally surprised when the wave never hit the shelves. But the Pepper Potts Rescue figure that was supposed to be included was a major loss. But in 2016 we were given a fun bonus in a limited release of the figure as a Marvel Unlimited subscription exclusive. Unfortunately she didn't come with her alternate unmasked head (from the 2013 solicit), and the subscription to get her cost $100. So actually purchasing her proved difficult for the majority of collectors. But then earlier this year, Rescue finally made her MCU debut and I knew we'd be getting some awesome merchandise. It's also pretty impressive to get a Marvel Legends figure that has 100% new tooling. I've become so accustomed to seeing the same bucks over and over again that this was a welcome surprise. Let's check out Rescue below!

























Rescue comes with two backpacks: One folded-in and another unfolded.






























I didn't even watch the Iron Man: Armored Adventures animated series from 2009, but it's pretty clear that the MCU Rescue costume us inspired from this look.













Rescue comes with the Build-a-Figure torso piece for Hulk.















Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!


Here is Rescue with her wave-mate, Shuri.




And here she is with the 2016 Marvel Legends Rescue.




Here are my MCU Rescue toys so far: Funko Pop, Marvel Legends, and Basic Series.




And here she is with the other Endgame Legends: Black Widow and Nebula.






Cheers!
