Secret Wars Marvel Legends Marvel’s Falcon In Hand Review

Avengers Assemble! And this time, we’re assembling one of the most iconic looks from one of Marvel’s greatest crossover events. I am so pleased to finally have this figure in hand. Sam Wilson’s Falcon has always held a special place in my heart, going all the way back to his early appearances alongside Captain America in the comics. But his Secret Wars incarnation? That’s something we rarely see get the action figure treatment, and the fact that Hasbro went there with this Marvel Legends release just makes my collector heart sing. Secret Wars is one of those landmark Marvel stories that defined a generation of readers. It brought heroes and villains together on Battleworld in ways we’d never seen before, and Falcon was right there in the thick of it. Getting a figure that pulls directly from that 1984 storyline feels like a love letter to longtime fans who’ve been waiting decades for this kind of deep-cut representation in the Legends line. So let’s take a look at Secret Wars Marvel Legends Marvel’s Falcon in hand review! What immediately grabbed me is the detail Hasbro packed into this release. The sculpt leans into that classic comic aesthetic, and the costume deco is unmistakably rooted in Falcon’s Secret Wars appearance. The red and white color scheme pops beautifully, and the overall proportions just feel right for the character. Accessories are where this one really shines. You’re getting an alternate pair of hands, his shield, two pairs of wings, and Redwing. Having multiple wing options is such a thoughtful inclusion, giving collectors real variety in how they want to display Sam on the shelf. And Redwing being included? That’s the kind of detail that shows Hasbro knows exactly who this figure is for. We want to give a huge thanks to Big Bad Toy Store for sending us this Secret Wars Marvel Legends Marvel’s Falcon for review, and if he has been on your must have list, you can still grab him now at Big Bad Toy Store.

Where to Buy

Packaging

The card art has a great retro feel, with the bold “Secret Wars” title rendered in chunky yellow and red lettering against a stormy blue backdrop. You can see how the classic blister card format frames Falcon alongside his accessories, including Redwing, a red shield with illustrated portrait art, two pairs of wings, and an alternate set of hands.

The back of the card features a great illustration of Falcon soaring through a cityscape, his red and white costume popping against the grey buildings behind him. I like how the cross-sell section at the bottom showcases the rest of the wave lineup, including Daredevil, Constrictor, Magik, Spider-Man in the alien costume, and Absorbing Man, each framed in their own colorful panel.

Figure Details

Falcon’s costume really comes together from this front-on view, with those jagged red starburst patterns radiating outward from the center seam of the white torso, almost like stylized feathers spreading from the chest down to the waist. The red trunks serve as a visual divider between the upper and lower costume, and I like how the red of the leggings carries the same glossy tone as the trunks, keeping the lower half unified.

From this side profile, the layered wing feathers drape naturally along Falcon’s back, tapering from broad segments at the top to longer, narrower plumes near the tips. I noticed that his white gauntlet sits snugly against the forearm with a clean, sculpted cuff edge that transitions smoothly into his clenched white fist.

From this side profile, you can see how the wings cascade down Falcon’s back in a beautiful tiered arrangement, with each red feather segment slightly separated to create a layered, organic flow that extends past his knees. Something I appreciate here is the textured sculpt on his close-cropped hair, which has a realistic pebbly finish that contrasts nicely with the smooth white of his mask.

Here’s a look at Falcon from the back, and the small grey disc where the wings peg into the upper back sits flush against the white torso panel, keeping things clean and unobtrusive. The red leggings have a nice glossy finish that contrasts with the matte white of the upper costume, and those chunky knee pads add some welcome bulk to the lower half of the figure.

Falcon’s red shield is a real eye-catcher, featuring a bold illustrated lenticular portrait framed by a gear-toothed red border that gives it a great comic-book artifact feel. Perched on his shoulder, Redwing is a nicely sculpted grey falcon with yellow talons and white chest feathers, adding a welcome bit of personality to the display.

Redwing looks fantastic perched on Falcon’s forearm, with those bright yellow talons gripping tightly and the sculpted wing feathers spread wide in a great mid-flight pose. You can see how the white mask with its sharp yellow star detail across the brow contrasts against his skin tone, and those jagged red and white feather patterns along the costume’s chest panel have a ton of comic-accurate energy to them.

Falcon’s wings spread wide here, and I like the way each individual feather segment is sculpted with layered overlap, giving them real depth and dimension. His boots are a fun detail too, with red uppers accented by yellow talon-like shapes at the toes that tie the whole bird-of-prey motif together from head to foot.

Here’s a closer look at the larger pair of wings, and you can really appreciate the sheer wingspan on these, they practically dwarf the figure and fill out the silhouette beautifully. The white gauntlets with their sculpted cuff detail provide a clean break between the bare arms and those clenched fists, keeping the costume from feeling too monochromatic in the upper half.

Here’s a look at the full accessory spread laid out alongside Falcon, and it’s a generous haul. You get two pairs of wings in different sizes, a pair of alternate white fists, the Redwing companion figure, and that illustrated portrait shield, all in that bold, consistent red that ties everything together visually.
