In 2014, all Marvel Legends will have a movie tie in going forward… we can expect a new Captain America (Marvel Now), Baron Zemo, Red Skull (movie version), A.I.M. Soldier. There will still be obscure characters so it won’t all be movie based figures!

6″ Marvel Legends Black Cat was revealed for 2014. BAF Ultimate Green Goblin (he has flame add-ons kind of like the Human Torch).
