WEREWOLF BY NIGHT: New Marvel Legends Action Figure Offers A Closer Look At The MCU's MAN-THING

Werewolf by Night is finally getting a Marvel Legends action figure, but not featuring Jack Russell. Instead, it's all about Man-Thing and you can take a closer look at the monstrous hero after the jump!

Werewolf by Night took fans to a previously unexplored corner of the MCU where monster hunters were assembled to track down a terrifying creature. That beast, however, ended up being Ted, a.k.a. Man-Thing. 

The truth was that he wasn't bad at all, with the Bloodstone forcing the gentle monster into a near-uncontrollable rage. Jack Russell, the Special Presentation's titular werewolf, was ultimately able to help his friend and freed him. Fans quickly fell in love with both characters, with the hope being they'll return sooner rather than later (two years on and we're still waiting).

In the meantime, Hasbro has unveiled a new Man-Thing action figure (based on his appearance in Werewolf by Night) as part of its Marvel Legends line. Pre-orders begin later this week on June 13 at 1pm, while we've also learned it will be priced at $39.99. 

The company has yet to release Werewolf by Night or Elsa Bloodstone figures, so fingers crossed they'll soon follow. 

In the closing moments of Werewolf by Night, we learned that Man-Thing had helped his friend, sheltering Jack after his transformation. They agreed to go for sushi in a scene we later learned was meant follow the credits.

"[That final campfire scene is] in the [same] Spirit [as a normal post-credits scene]," executive producer Brian Gay explained. "We wanted to put, you know, a nice, I guess, button on the end of the special in a way to have it. But with this, we want it to be a contained story. And so anytime that there's, you know, a tag, it's always what's next, what's going on for these characters."

"[The Werewolf and Man-Thing] don't know what's happening next," he continued. "They barely made it through this night alive."

"A Halloween horror delight, Werewolf by Night is a mighty impressive, macabre Marvel monster tale that introduces some killer new characters and proves Marvel Studios can still find plenty of ways to surprise us," we said in our review when the special hit Disney+. "More Man-Thing is a must!"

On a dark and somber night, a secret cabal of monster hunters emerge from the shadows and gather at the foreboding Bloodstone Temple following the death of their leader. In a strange and macabre memorial to the leader’s life, the attendees are thrust into a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic—a hunt that will ultimately bring them face to face with a dangerous monster. Inspired by horror films of the 1930s and 1940s, the chilling special aims to evoke a sense of dread and the macabre, with plenty of suspense and scares along the way as we explore a new corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

Werewolf by Night is now streaming on Disney+.

I could watch 45 minute Marvel specials forever if they were all at least as half as good as Werewolf By Night

One of the best things Marvel have produced outside of the obvious Winter Soldier - Infinity War lists.

I always like to get a closer look at someone's Man-Thing, especially when it's Giant Sized!
