As this year’s San Diego Comic Con draws to a close, Marvel is collaborating with Hasbro to launch a special lineup of action figures in honor of the universe’s most iconic heroes and villains.

The action figure lineup — featuring beloved Avengers, the Fantastic Four, members of the X-Men and even a few villains, all expected to make an appearance in the forthcoming film — features a six-inch “premium design” with poseable head, arms and legs. Plus, each action figure’s appearance is a bit of a clue of what’s to come, as its costume reflects its respective character’s appearance in Avengers: Doomsday.

The new Captain America, a.k.a. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), returns after the events of Captain America: Brave New World, but not only is he coming back to the big screen — he’s also appearing as a six-inch collectible figure that comes with Captain America’s shield and backpack.

Joining Captain America are fellow Avengers Thor and Shang-Chi. As an Asgardian warrior, Thor needs his weapons, so his figure also includes his magical hammer Mjolnir and his mystic ax, Stormbreaker. Meanwhile, Shang-Chi comes with six accessories: four alternate hands and two Ten Rings power effects, and he “may be the only hero powerful enough to stop the threat the Avengers face,” per a release from Hasbro and Marvel.

The Marvel Legends Series also highlights the Fantastic Four, who are set to fight alongside the Avengers in the forthcoming film. Brother-sister duo the Invisible Woman and the Human Torch are sold together as a set that includes nine accessories: two alternate hands for each, a force shield for the former and four flame effects for the latter.

Sold in another action figure set are Mister Fantastic and H.E.R.B.I.E., and though the latter isn’t technically part of the superhero group, the robot is well known and loved for lending a helping hand. Mister Fantastic’s figure is accompanied by two alternate hands and an alternate head. The last of the group, The Thing, is sold separately, and comes with two alternate hands and an “alternate bearded head.”

Gambit and Cyclops, plus Doctor Doom and Magneto — a superhero duo and a villainous pair from X-Men — will be making an appearance in Avengers: Doomsday, and together complete the Marvel Legends Series. While Doctor Doom and Magneto each come with two alternate hands, Cyclops also includes an alternate visor to “plug in Cyclops’ Optic Blast effect accessory,” and Gambit has three total alternate hands, a bo staff and two kinetically charged playing card effects.
