This figure represents James “Rhodey” Rhodes as War Machine in a comic-accurate armored suit, featuring multiple points of articulation and often including blast effect pieces and accessories like a Gatling gun, while also packaging the right leg piece needed to assemble the larger Galactus BAF—a collectible gimmick introduced in the Marvel Legends line that encouraged fans to collect the entire wave to build the giant cosmic villain.

Asgardian - Young Avengers Marvel Legends (Toybiz 2004)



Asgardian was the original superhero codename of Billy Kaplan, later known as Wiccan, when he debuted in Young Avengers #1 (2005). Initially presenting powers reminiscent of Thor—such as energy blasts and limited lightning manipulation—Asgardian’s abilities were later revealed to stem from innate reality-warping and spellcasting rather than any Asgardian heritage. The name was chosen to conceal his true magical nature and to fit the team’s theme of echoing classic Avengers, but it proved misleading once Billy’s immense mystical potential became apparent. As he grew more confident and his abilities evolved, Billy adopted the name Wiccan, better reflecting his identity and marking a significant turning point in his character development within the Young Avengers narrative.

Patriot - Young Avengers Marvel Legends (Toybiz 2004)



The Patriot from Young Avengers is Elijah “Eli” Bradley, a teen hero introduced in 2005 who carries the legacy of his grandfather, Isaiah Bradley—the Black Captain America from the experimental Super-Soldier Program. Although Eli initially claims to have inherited enhanced abilities, it’s later revealed that he relies on a mutant-growth-hormone–like serum before eventually receiving a legitimate blood transfusion that grants him true super-soldier powers. As the field leader of the Young Avengers, Patriot is known for his tactical discipline, strong moral compass, and unwavering dedication to honoring his family’s history, making him one of the team’s most grounded and compelling member.
