Hasbro’s Marvel Legends Series 6-inch Mini Comic Wave 2 figures are popular among collectors, and all include a small comic book cover. This wave includes Astonishing X-Men Beast, Phoenix (Excalibur’s Rachel Summers), Silver Surfer, Black Widow, Daredevil, and Feral. Beast was inspired by his appearance in Marvel Comics’ Astonishing X-Men #1, released in 2004, which gave the X-Men new costumes and became one of the most memorable X-Men comic series of all time.

The Beast is packaged on a blister card, the same type of card that appeared in the first installment of the Marvel Legends mini-comic series. This includes artwork such as an image of him in comic book form on the front, the Astonishing X-Men logo, and the back includes looks for the rest of Wave and a look from the Astonishing X-Men #1 comic book cover.
The Beast has an all-new sculpt and is based on his appearance in the 2004 Astonishing X-Men comic. The Beast appears wearing blue fur with sculpted textures and wears a yellow and black X-Men uniform as seen in the comic book series. The uniform is smooth, with sculpted muscles and wrinkles, feels nice to the touch, and is more accurate to the source material.
Beast includes two interchangeable head sculpts, one with a snarl and one neutral, both of which closely resemble various comic panels from the comic book series. Head with a snarling face, including sharp teeth and fangs, a tongue, and yellow and blue cat-like eyes.
His articulation is also standard for Marvel Legends from this era, including a ball-jointed head and hinged neck, ball-hinged shoulders, butterfly shoulders, swivel biceps, double-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, ball-jointed torso, ab crunches, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, double-hinged knees, hinged and rocker ankles, and hinged toes.
Beast includes two sets of interchangeable hand sculpts, including one left open grip and one closed fist right hand with two claws.
The left open grip hand can hold a mini comic. The front features “Astonishing X-Men” artwork, while the back features Marvel Legends and Hasbro logos.
Below is a comparison between the Beast and the earlier comic-based figures offered in the Caliban wave.
Hasbro is slowly expanding its lineup of Astonishing X-Men at Marvel Legends, with Beast being the latest release. Cyclops, Emma Frost, and Wolverine have previously been released, and Kitty Pryde and Colossus will receive a two-pack from this comic next year. The team is growing and that’s great.
Overall, the Beast is a great figure with great detail and a strong resemblance to the original. This is an important release for X-Men fans, so we hope you pick him up and any additional figures from this new wave of mini-comics. Get him now at Entertainment Earth and take advantage of the BOGO sale while you can!
