Angelina Jolie's Marvel Superhero Finally Receives Her Own Eternals Action Figure
Hasbro has certainly been using the Marvel toy license to its fullest in the past few years. The toy company has especially been making the most of the MCU's 2021 projects, having already produced six-inch scale Marvel Legends figures for WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and Black Widow as well as a large selection of characters from the Infinity Saga.
They also have a great many figures in the works for Marvel Studios' upcoming installments, such as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Eternals. In fact, the entire main series of Eternals figures leaked several months ago, giving fans a better look at the characters and their costumes.
The main Eternals wave covers most of the main cast. Taking into account that Salma Hayek's Ajak is slated to release as a store exclusive, there was still one character yet to receive a figure: Thena, as portrayed by Angelina Jolie.
THE MARVEL LEGENDS THENA IS FINALLY REVEALED
An image of the Marvel Legends figure based on Angelina Jolie's Thena in Eternals has surfaced online:

The figure itself doesn't exactly show off a lot about Angelina Jolie's character, but it's worth noting that she does come packed with four gold-colored weapons, including what looks to be a staff with a crescent shape atop it. It's been previously revealed that Thena has the ability to create weapons out of thin air, much like another MCU character — Hela from Thor: Ragnarok. That's probably as far as their similarities travel, though.
WAITING FOR THESE FIGURES WON'T BE ETERNAL
Now, none of these figures have made it into stores or online retailers as of yet, at least not in any official capacity. The Eternals wave isn't officially due out until October 2021, about a month before the film hits theaters.
However, since the figures in question have already leaked and been purchased by collectors in various locales, it stands to reason that the Marvel Legends Eternals offerings are sitting in one of Hasbro's warehouses, simply waiting to be shipped to stores. This is particularly likely given the production cycle for these figures and the delay of the film itself caused by the pandemic.
Additionally, since Thena is not part of the main wave, she will likely be available for purchase exclusively from a specific retailer such as Target or Amazon.
Marvel Studios' Eternals hits theaters November 5, 2021.
