MCM London 2022 Hasbro Announcements – Holiday Optimus Prime and More!

Posted on November 1, 2022 in Toy News

As part of their panel at last weekend’s MCM London Comic Con at the ExCel in London, Hasbro revealed a batch of exciting new upcoming releases.

Firstly, we had a pair of Transformers announcements in the form of a Christmas-inspired Transformers Generations Holiday Optimus Prime, and a Generations Selects Deluxe Magnificus figure. Then we had our first look at a couple of fairly cool looking Marvel Legends figures in the form of Ultimate Captain America and an Extremis Iron Man.

You can feast your eyes on some official images and info below, and all four of these new figures will be available to preorder on 8th November at Hasbro Pulse UK.
