Marvel Legends x MTG: Man-Wolf Is the Crossover Collectible We Didn’t Know We Needed

Updated: Aug 15

If your shelves already host Spider-Man rogues and a binder full of Magic: The Gathering foils, Hasbro just made your day. The Marvel Legends Series Magic: The Gathering — Man-Wolf figure brings John Jameson’s lupine alter-ego into a crossover line that bundles premium 6-inch figures with a foil MTG card tied to the character. It’s a slick mash-up of action-figure artistry and trading-card hype, right in time for Magic’s upcoming Spider-verse set releasing September 26, 2025. (Polygon, MAGIC: THE GATHERING)

What’s in the box?

This release is part of Hasbro’s Marvel Legends “Magic: The Gathering” sub-series and arrives loaded out of the gate. Inside you’ll find:

  • Man-Wolf (John Jameson) 6-inch figure with premium sculpt and comics-accurate deco inspired by Marvel Premiere, Amazing Spider-Man, and more.

  • Six accessories: 2 alternate hands, the sacred Stargod sword, a bow, a loose arrow, and a quiver.

  • Foil MTG card matching the figure’s character (each item in the line includes a foil card packed in). (Action Figure 411, Polygon)

Retail pricing is $39.99—in line with recent deluxe Legends releases—and the Man-Wolf listing is live on Amazon with the expected “exclusive foil collectible card” callout. (Action Figure 411, Amazon)

Why Man-Wolf?

John Jameson (yes, J. Jonah’s son) has one of the more cult-favorite arcs in Spidey lore: astronaut, cursed by the Godstone, and occasionally the mystic Stargod. Translating that look into plastic gives Hasbro an excuse to go big on creature textures, fangs, and that fantasy-leaning weapon loadout—perfect for a line that intentionally bridges superhero comics and tabletop fantasy. The pack-in card ties the figure to Magic’s gameplay universe, making it more than “just” a shelf piece. (Action Figure 411, Polygon)

Sculpt, articulation, and posing potential

Man-Wolf uses the modern Legends engineering we’ve come to expect—ample range in the elbows, knees, and torso for lunging, howling, and mid-pounce poses. The accessory set isn’t throwaway, either: the bow/arrow combo plus the Stargod sword create two distinct display looks (ranged hunter vs. savage brawler), and the alternate hands help sell each stance. If you collect diorama pieces, he’ll look right at home menacing a rooftop Spider-Man or flanked by other supernatural types. (Action Figure 411)

The MTG tie-in: more than a pack-in

This whole program coincides with Magic: The Gathering | Marvel’s Spider-Man, a full MTG expansion that slings Peter, Miles, Gwen, and friends into the game. Hasbro and Wizards confirmed that these figures are modeled on the MTG card art and include a matching foil card in the box—a smart hook for card players and sealed-box collectors alike. With the set hitting September 26, 2025, figure preorders have been rolling out alongside the usual Play/Collector boosters. (Polygon, MAGIC: THE GATHERING)

Value check

At $39.99, Man-Wolf lands where modern accessory-heavy Legends often do, but you’re also getting a crossover foil card and a character-specific accessory suite (six pieces) instead of the old Build-A-Figure part. If you’re both a Legends and MTG fan, that combo is hard to beat; if you’re only here for the wolf, the extra cardboard is a pleasant bonus. (Action Figure 411)

Who should buy this?

  • Spider-fans who dig deeper-cut Spidey mythos (and want more than another symbiote).

  • Magic players/collectors eyeing the Spider-verse set and chasing foils with official pack-in provenance.

  • Creature collectors who want a standout monster sculpt with heroic articulation and display options. (Polygon, MAGIC: THE GATHERING)

Buying advice & availability

Preorders for the broader figure line opened August 1 via Hasbro Pulse, with listings appearing on Amazon as well. If you prefer minty cards, consider ordering two: one to crack for the display/foil and one to stash sealed. If you’re a loose-only collector, inspect paint apps on the mouth/teeth and fur dry-brushing when yours arrives—those are the first spots to show QC variance. (Polygon, Amazon)

Bottom line

Marvel Legends x Magic: The Gathering — Man-Wolf nails the crossover brief: a dynamic, comics-faithful sculpt, an accessories loadout that tells the Stargod story, and a bonus foil MTG card that ties it into 2025’s Spider-Man set. Whether you pose him mid-howl next to Spidey or keep him sealed for that shiny card, this is a clever collectible straddling two fandoms with style.
