Marvel Reveals Adorable New WandaVision Halloween Figures
Nearly every week between January and March 2021, Marvel fans anxiously waited to find out what new wrinkle WandaVision would add to its ever-expanding story in Westview, New Jersey. From wild and wacky theories about villains like Mephisto to the elusive identity of a certain aerospace engineer, the MCU's debut Disney+ outing never lacked conversation starters.
With each new entry that took on a different era of sitcom history, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany got to explore classic comedy styles and exciting new wardrobe additions that enhanced the show's plot.
One specific episode that still has fans talking was Episode 6, which took viewers back to a 1990s-style Halloween-centric episode with fourth-wall-breaking banter from beginning to end. Now, Entertainment Earth is taking another opportunity to celebrate that episode with two new collectible figurines paying tribute to its spooky nature.
Adorable Figures Depict WandaVision's Halloween Episode
Entertainment Earth listed new collectible figures depicting Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany's Vision from Marvel Studios' WandaVision on Disney+. Both figures show the series' leading characters in their comic-accurate Halloween costumes from WandaVision's sixth episode, "All-New Halloween Spooktacular!"
Wanda is seen leaning against a black-and-white TV next to a couple of carved pumpkins. Along with her red and pink costume, there are magic strands coming out of her right hand.
The figure also boasts a black-and-white image of Vision on the TV, where he's wearing the business suit he donned in the show's pilot episode "Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience."

Vision gets his own figurine where he's grinning and wearing his own Halloween costume, which fans will remember was the only outfit in his closet at the time in Episode 6. With two pumpkins of his own, the android looks much more pleased with himself in figurine form than he did in the MCU story in this costume.
Just as Wanda's figurine did with Vision, Vision's model has an image of his lovely wife in black-and-white on the screen behind him. She's also dressed in her '50s attire from Episode 1 as she looks toward the TV screen.

Both figures are approximately seven inches tall, and they will officially begin shipping to customers in time for Halloween in October 2022.
Spooky New Additions for WandaVision Fans
WandaVision's Halloween story is one of five show entries rated at 95% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's even more well-received amongst the MCU fan base. Part of what made it so popular was the opportunity to finally see the two leading heroes donning the outfits their comic counterparts utilized for decades.
The highlight of both figurines is those same Halloween costumes, particularly as fans remember the fun behind clothing items like Vision's yellow jogging shorts and Wanda's first red tiara. On top of that is the small nod to Marvel Studios' first-ever episode of Disney+ content, as both characters are shown in black-and-white on the figures' old-time TV screens.
More than a year after the show first debuted, WandaVision remains one of the most popular MCU outings from Phase 4 to date.
While the extent is unclear, this show will be revisited in some form during 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as Wanda teams up with Doctor Strange. This should put WandaVision back into the spotlight over the coming months, helping fans remember the show's alternate reality shenanigans.
All nine episodes of WandaVision are available to stream on Disney+. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will premiere in theaters on May 6, 2022.
