Hasbro’s Marvel Legends Dark Avengers Warbird Action Figure Up for Pre-Order, Now Taking Fans Closer to a Complete Dark Avengers Team
Marvel Legends enthusiasts, get ready: Hasbro has just opened pre-orders for the Dark Avengers Warbird action figure, the latest in a growing line of collectibles completing the iconic Dark Avengers team. This edition showcases Moonstone in disguise as Warbird, a.k.a. Carol Danvers, offering fans a nostalgic nod to the Dark Avengers comics and a chance to inch closer to a fully assembled team on their shelves.
For those invested in completing the Dark Avengers lineup, this release is exciting, though there’s a subtle undercurrent of curiosity about the figure’s accessory pack. Teased to have “additional accessories,” Warbird arrives instead with a familiar alternate head—an inclusion that fans may recognize from Hasbro’s standard Warbird figure. The decision has left some collectors wondering if this figure might have been an opportunity to reintroduce Carol Danvers in her original Ms. Marvel look, possibly with a shorter-haired sculpt true to her early Marvel appearances. Such a move would have catered to those nostalgic for Danvers’s classic look while still serving the Dark Avengers theme.
This 6-inch Marvel Legends figure is crafted to capture Moonstone’s transformation as she assumes Danvers’s identity. With striking detail and premium design, Warbird’s figure is outfitted with fully articulated limbs for dynamic posing possibilities, adding to her versatility in any collection. Fans can count on an array of 5 accessories, though these are similar to previous versions, leaving room for future additions that might more distinctly differentiate her from her classic counterpart.
This newest addition to Marvel Legends not only checks another Dark Avenger off collectors’ lists but underscores Hasbro’s commitment to bringing this beloved roster to life, albeit with mixed responses regarding character-specific detailing. Had this figure included a Ms. Marvel-inspired look, it’s likely that both Dark Avengers fans and Danvers devotees would have been tempted to pick up a double dose of Warbird—one as Moonstone, another as Ms. Marvel.
The release timing aligns with the larger trend of revisiting iconic teams from Marvel’s vast catalog, like the Giant-Man figure from HasLab and the Agatha Harkness series figure. As Hasbro taps into fan-favorite storylines and characters, they’re simultaneously reviving Marvel Legends nostalgia and expanding its universe with consistent, if somewhat conservative, attention to detail.
For now, collectors can look forward to the release of Dark Avengers Warbird, primed for a range of dynamic poses thanks to her fully articulated design. Whether Hasbro will heed fans’ interest in further variations remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure—each addition to the Dark Avengers lineup brings the Marvel Legends series closer to recreating the thrill and complexity of this iconic, fan-favorite team.
With Warbird poised for her turn in the spotlight, fans can now consider if it’s time to add her to their collection. As pre-orders go live, Hasbro’s intentions are clear: delivering iconic Marvel characters with flexibility for poses and team integration while stoking anticipation for what might come next in the Marvel Legends line.
