Way, way back last summer, Hasbro started showing off concepts for Marvel Legends Dormammu and Magik figures. Fans guessed that some sort of future “magic-themed” box set was in the works… and as it turns out, those fans were correct! The SDCC 2015 exclusive Marvel Legends Doctor Strange set has now been revealed, and it includes the first Brother Voodoo and Hela figures ever!

I apologize for my lateness in reporting this mega-ton of news, but my “best week ever” was continuing today with facial surgery and stitches, so I was preoccupied with blinding pain.

But if there’s one sure-fire remedy that makes agony all better, it’s new toys! And today, we got our first look at five all-new Marvel Legends figures that will be released as a special San Diego Comic-Con 2015 exclusive set next month!

Now, let’s not pretend that any of these characters being considered for the Marvel Legends is a shock: it’s not. Hasbro began teasing some of these magic-based characters ages ago–with the figure that’s the longest-coming being the Marvel Legends Doctor Voodoo, who was first shown at SDCC 2009!

When Brother Voodoo (Jericho Drumm) lost the Marvel Legends Fan’s Poll in 2009, I thought that the book was closed on ever getting a Marvel Legends Brother Voodoo figure–but six years later, Voodoo has finally hit the big-time!

Doctor Strange is getting a new Marvel Legends figure already this summer, so a translucent Astral Doctor Strange figure is a no-brainer.

The Marvel Universe Astral Plane Doctor Strange chase figure is really rocketed in price and popularity, and I expect this 6″ Astral Strange to be a hot figure as well (although the mustache painted-on with black paint does look a mite peculiar to me).

And where would Doctor Strange be without his greatest nemesis (not named Shuma Gorath): the dread Dormammu? Having been previewed last year by Hasbro, it was only a matter of time until the oversized Marvel Legends Dormammu appeared!

I’d forgive collectors who think this is Dormammu’s first toy release, but he was previously released as a Minimates and a (terrible) Toybiz 5″ figure. While the ML Dormammu isn’t quite as nice as the Bowen Dormammu mini-bust, it’s definitely Dormammu’s best action figure ever.

But while Dormammu has had multiple poseable action figures prior to San Diego Comic-Con 2015, one character that has not is Hela!

With a soft goods cape and her trademark crazy headdress, Marvel Legends Hela is looking mighty fine! I’m pretty satisfied with the Bowen Hela statue I got last year, but this is such a great set that I certainly won’t turn my nose up at a nice-looking Hela action figure.

Finally, we’ve got the figure that I’m most excited about in this set–Magik! Some of you may be scratching your heads as to Magik’s inclusion in a Dr. Strange set, but she does belong, what with her being an apprentice of the Sorcerer Supreme and all in the current run of “Uncanny X-Men” that this figure is based on.

While Illyana Rasputin has appeared as a Toybiz New Mutants figure, a Sideshow statue and a Minimates figure in the past, this is Hasbro’s first-ever Marvel Legends Magik figure (and the second Marvel Legends New Mutants figure ever released as well!). Will we ever get the long-canceled Dani Moonstar figure…? We’ll see…

The whole set comes packaged in an awesome Book of the Vishanti box packaging with a real “Eye of Agamotto”, and will retail for somewhere between $99.99-109.99 next month (I’ve seen three different price-points for this set reported for some reason). Limited quantities will be available on Hasbro Toy Shop after the show, but let’s be realistic–those will be gone instantly and not nearly enough to meet demand.

Now that it’s been revealed, what do you think of this year’s Marvel Legends SDCC Exclusive set, Marvel collectors? Is this supernatural-themed Doctor Strange set everything you ever dreamed of, or did you have something different in mind for this year’s big exclusive set?
