Mephitsu's own trade-press coverage, dated July 10, 2026, confirms Marvel Legends Deadpool & Wolverine Wave 3 opened for preorder with stockists that week, bringing a trio of new 6-inch figures to general retail: The Cavillrine, Wolverinepool, and an X-Force grey-suited Deadpool. All three are confirmed general releases due to ship in October 2026.
What makes this wave notable isn't just the character lineup itself, but that two of the three figures are based on concept art created for the film and never actually used, giving collectors a way to own looks that only ever existed on the design table.
Mephitsu's own reporting confirms the following:
Preorders opened directly with stockists as of the article's July 10 publish date, giving collectors a multi-month window ahead of the October ship date to secure the wave.
The Cavillrine figure is built around Henry Cavill's memorable cameo appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, and ships with two head options and alternative hands, giving collectors some display flexibility around expression and pose. Unlike the other two figures in this wave, The Cavillrine reflects a scene that actually appeared in the finished film rather than an unused concept.
Wolverinepool is confirmed as concept art drawn up for the movie but never actually featured in it, mixing Wolverine's costume silhouette with Deadpool's signature red color scheme. The figure ships with an alternative pair of hands, giving it modest but genuine pose variety despite being a simpler release than the other two figures in the wave.
The X-Force grey-suited Deadpool is the second concept-art figure in this wave, also never used in the finished film, and comes the most heavily equipped of the three: four different pairs of hands, twin katana swords, a baby knife, and twin pistols. That loadout gives it meaningfully more display and pose options than either The Cavillrine or Wolverinepool, reflecting Deadpool's typically weapon-heavy design across most of his figure releases.
Concept-art figures like Wolverinepool and X-Force Deadpool give collectors a way to own genuine pieces of a film's design history that never made it to screen, something that's become an increasingly common way for Hasbro to extend a movie's toy line beyond just recreating what audiences actually saw. For Deadpool & Wolverine specifically, where costume mashups and alternate designs were already part of the film's marketing and humor, releasing figures based on discarded concepts fits naturally with how the movie approached its own visual identity.
This Wave 3 release continues an ongoing Marvel Legends assortment built specifically around Deadpool & Wolverine, which has already included other figures like Blade, Cassandra Nova, and X-23 in earlier waves under the same line branding. That means collectors focused on this movie-specific assortment have multiple waves to track, not just the three figures confirmed for Wave 3 specifically.
Deadpool has long been one of the most frequently redesigned characters in Marvel Legends, with alternate costumes, crossover mashups, and joke variants forming a substantial part of his figure history even outside of any specific film tie-in. That existing pattern makes concept-art releases like Wolverinepool and X-Force Deadpool feel like a natural extension of how the character has always been merchandised, rather than an unusual one-off approach specific to this particular wave.
Since this is a general retail release rather than an exclusive, availability should be less of a concern than with a convention or online-only drop, but protecting all three figures still matters given how much loose accessory content ships with X-Force Deadpool specifically. A PET protector sized for standard 6-inch Marvel Legends carded packaging is EVORETRO's closest current match, keeping the card and bubble shielded from shelf handling.
For collectors displaying loose, a 6-inch acrylic case keeps all three figures, including X-Force Deadpool's full weapon loadout, presented cleanly and dust-free.
Since Wave 3 is confirmed as a general release rather than tied to a single retailer, preorders are spreading across multiple stockists rather than one exclusive storefront, giving collectors more flexibility in where to secure the wave ahead of the October ship date. Checking a few different retailers before committing is worth doing, since general-release waves like this one can see slightly different preorder timing and shipping estimates from store to store.

Wolverinepool and X-Force grey-suited Deadpool were both drawn up as concept designs for the film but never actually used in it.

No. Mephitsu's reporting confirms all three figures are general releases, not tied to a specific retailer.
Marvel Legends Deadpool & Wolverine Wave 3 gives collectors a genuine mix of a film-accurate cameo figure and two never-used concept designs, offering a look at costume ideas that only existed on the design table. Knowing which figures reflect the actual film versus discarded concepts is worth keeping straight when deciding which pieces matter most for a particular collection angle.
Once the wave arrives in October, protecting all three figures, especially X-Force Deadpool's dense accessory loadout, is worth prioritizing from the start.
