I’ve gone every year since 2011 they’ve had one. (They canceled during the peak Covid years.) I lived in NYC for the last 15 years and just moved two months ago, so this will be a homecoming for me of sorts.
Hasbro generally haven’t done panels and instead done the retailer breakfasts at a hotel offsite, but they did do a panel last year and one is happening this year as well. I managed to go to the panel last year. I honestly don’t remember which Legends were revealed, but the Ecto-1 HasLab was revealed at it. That stole the show for me.
Hasbro doesn’t have a big display presence but has had some displays the last few years for the HasLab and now made-to-order figures. I thought the X-Men ‘97 Sentinel they showed last year was especially impressive. It’s exactly what I wanted when I bought the original ‘94 Toy Biz Sentinel when it came out.
Looking through my photo history, I see that I managed to get some photos taken.
The last one is the Lego X-Mansion and Blackbird. Very cool but very over-priced. (Also, likely the only way we’ll get them in plastic form.)
Hasbro also hasn’t really done exclusives at NYCC in many years. The first year I went in 2011, there was a 3.75” Marvel Universe Compound Hulk. And for the years after that, they would have either that year’s Marvel Unlimited digital subscription figure and/or the one from the prior year but that stopped by Covid.
I’m pumped there actually is an exclusive this year, the Super Skrull in early ‘90s Marvel Universe trading card inspired packaging.
