Okay, let’s talk about San Diego Comic-Con for a sec. Every year, it’s like Christmas morning for nerds—but this time? Hasbro went full Tarzan mode with their new Marvel Legends Savage Land set. I mean, we’re talking barely-clothed action figures here, people. And the fans? Already losing their minds. But what’s the big deal? Let me break it down.
So you get four characters, right? But not your usual spandex crew. These guys look like they walked straight out of a jungle fever dream:
And the accessories? Chef’s kiss. Ka-Zar’s got his bone knife, Sauron’s talons could probably open your Amazon packages—it’s the little details.
Here’s the thing—the packaging is almost too nice to open. Lush jungle artwork, sturdy as hell, with these trays that slide out smooth. But let’s be real, who’s actually keeping these in the box? (Okay, some of you are. I see you.)
Remember the Savage Land from old X-Men comics? That weird dinosaur jungle in Antarctica? First showed up in like… 1965? And here’s the crazy part—they almost never make merch for it. So for us 90s kids who grew up on this stuff? Pure nostalgia injection.
When the first teaser images hit Twitter, it was like someone dropped a grenade in a Marvel forum. Reddit threads with thousands of upvotes, YouTube unboxers hyperventilating—you get the picture. And honestly? It’s refreshing to see Hasbro take a swing on something this niche instead of another Iron Man repaint.
Mark your calendars: July 20, 2023, high noon PST. Price tag’s $150, which—yeah, I know. But try telling that to the eBay scalpers who’ll be charging triple by dinner time.
If you’re lucky enough to be at SDCC, head to Hasbro’s Booth #3213. For the rest of us plebs? Hasbro Pulse is your best shot, along with a few other retailers. Pro tip? Have your credit card ready and pray to the WiFi gods—this thing’s gonna vanish faster than free pizza at a comic shop.
Like last year’s Ghost Rider set, it’s limited edition, fancy packaging, all that jazz. And just like then, people are already willing to sell their kidneys for it.
Here’s the kicker—it’s weird. Like, properly weird. Not your safe bet Spider-Man repaint. This is for the collectors who can name every X-Men storyline from the Claremont era. And that’s exactly why it might be worth stupid money in a few years.
Look, if you’re the kind of person who gets excited about dinosaur-themed mutants and barely-clothed superheroes (no judgment), this is basically your holy grail. Pricey? Sure. But try finding another Savage Land set in five years without taking out a second mortgage.
Me? I’ll be mashing F5 on Hasbro Pulse until my keyboard breaks. What about you—grabbing one or passing? Hit me in the comments, and keep an eye out for more SDCC madness!
