The next wave of Marvel Legends figures will pay homage to the past and be a bit smaller then the action figures you may be familiar with. Hasbro has some pretty cool new Marvel Legends under the Kenner label coming this fall that look a lot like the toys you grew up with.

These Marvel Legends Retro toys are featured in a Marvel Comic Presents box--designed to look like an issue of the long-running comic book series.. Two figures come in each pack, and the toys come in at 3.75 inches a piece, with each two-pack retailing for $20. First up, check out Captain America and Black Panther.

The figures are modeled after their looks from the silver and bronze age of comic books. Inside of the larger box, you get two figures, in individual retro packaging. The figures may not have a lot of articulation, but they are extremely reminiscent of the Secret Wars figures from the mid-80s.

Those aren't the only figures in this line. Also included are other classic Marvel character team-ups that you'd expect to see in a Marvel Comics Presents issue. Check them out below.

Sometimes, the team-ups in the comic can be a little out-of-the-ordinary, like Cyclops and Iron Man or Spider-Man and his nemesis Electro. And who doesn't like Electro's old costume? His mask and costume really hit the mark, letting you know, he has electric powers. All of these figures will be arriving this fall, and available for pre-order at Hasbro Pulse beginning on Friday, September 25 at 5 PM EST.
