Marvel Secret Wars Celebrated its 40 Year Anniversary in Full Hasbro Pulse Style

Marvel Secret Wars comic book and action figures

It’s no secret that Hasbro Pulse puts out some of the coolest action figures around for serious comic collectors. But when they recently announced a second wave of Marvel Legends Series Secret Wars action figures, I just had to have them. Constrictor! Falcon! Daredevil! These figures looked just like they stepped out of the 1984 comic book series that pretty much kickstarted the whole annual comic event crossover trend. The thing is… I didn’t even …
