Samuel L. Jackson is back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Nick Fury in the six-part Secret Invasion series that began streaming on Disney+ earlier this week. As is usually the case with big Marvel Studios releases, Hasbro is ready at launch with new 6-inch scale Marvel Legends figures, and that is holding true this time around with the debut of some solid-looking Nick Fury and Skrull warrior Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) figures. The figures will be part of a Build-A-Figure wave, though the details on the remaining releases and the BAF figure itself have yet to be revealed.ย

A breakdown of the Nick Fury and Talos figures can be found below. Pre-orders were not available at the time of writing, though they are expected to launch at some point this fall. We assume that pre-orders will launch at the same time that the full Secret Invasion Build-A-Figure wave is revealed, which will likely occur at some point before the sixth episode of the show airs on July 26th. We will update this article with that information when it becomes available. Stay tuned.ย
