With Marvel's entire Phase 4 slate delayed, it was inevitable that toy leaks would happen. In some stores, Marvel Legends action figures for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings are already on sale, and this hi-res look at four of them leaves us with lots to unpack (no pun intended).
To begin with, we get our best look to date at Shang-Chi's superhero costume, and it seems to be a slightly more intricate version of what we're used to seeing him wear in the comics.
Xialing looks pretty cool, and Death Dealer is undeniably fierce (he's also described as "one of the most formidable opponents Shang-Chi has ever faced"). It's Wenwu who brings the biggest reveal, however, as we see what appear to be the Ten Rings wrapped around his forearms rather than his fingers. This is an unexpected choice, but so too is this interpretation of The Mandarin in general. This certainly isn't what we expected from the orchestrator of Tony Stark's kidnap, anyway!
The character bios on the packaging also bring some big reveals, including Shang-Chi and Xialing being Wenwu's children. This does line up with plot leaks, and it sounds like they'll both be fighting back against their father and the Ten Rings organisation throughout the course of this adventure.
