Hasbro‘s long-running Marvel Legends collection is getting a unique new addition.
During a Hasbro Pulse livestream hosted by Marvel‘s C. B. Cebulski and Ryan Penagos, the company unveiled a new, Deadpool-themed wave of its popular 6-inch scale Marvel Legends series action figures and an animatronic head.

Deadpool’s Head is described as a “premium interactive head” that includes more than 600 lines of dialogue and expressive movement. The collectible toy for ages 18 and up is enhanced with a companion app for iOS and Android devices and reacts to light, sound, and motion. It can even sense certain “scenarios,” such as being placed in a cold refrigerator.
While not voiced by actor Ryan Reynolds, the tone and inflection are certainly inspired by the popular pair of feature films that starred the former Van Wilder as the famed “Merc with a Mouth.”
Deadpool’s Head will be available to preorder on Hasbro’s direct-to-consumer Hasbro Pulse platform beginning at 12:01 a.m. ET on June 17, a date newly Christened as “Wadey Wednesday,” the Deadpool holiday. It will also be available to preorder from mass and specialty retailers in the coming days.
