Marvel Legends Series Cardiac – Spider-Man Retro Carded Wave (2025 Hasbro)
Hardcore Spider-Man comics fans have waited decades for Dr. Elias Wirtham to get the Legends treatment — and Hasbro finally delivers with Cardiac's Marvel Legends debut in the 2025 Spider-Man Retro Carded wave. A deep-cut early-'90s vigilante who weaponized his own body to fight corrupt corporations, Cardiac has never before appeared in the 6-inch Legends scale, making this a genuine grail for completists of the era. The wave pairs him with fellow obscure fan favorites Hypno-Hustler and Marvel's Owl, signaling Hasbro's continued commitment to rewarding long-tenured collectors.
This listing is for a carded, unpunched example. The purple backer card faithfully recreates the aesthetic of 1990s Spider-Man animated series packaging — bold "Marvel Comics / Spider-Man" branding, dynamic cityscape artwork, and the character's name displayed in the signature retro logo treatment. The bubble is intact and sits flush against the card. The figure itself presents Cardiac in his iconic black-and-white armored suit with lightning-bolt detailing; accessories visible in the blister include the pulse staff and two translucent blue energy orbs. The cardback (item no. 52901) features a multi-language character bio, a line-art inset, and portraits of the full wave: Spider-Man 2099, Uncanny Spider-Man (Nightcrawler), Spider-Venom, Marvel's Owl, Hypno-Hustler, and Cardiac.
Every item at Jay's Toys undergoes a firsthand condition assessment before listing — what you see in our photos is exactly what ships. This is authentic Hasbro product, not a third-party reproduction. We stand behind every sale; please review our return policy on the store page. Stock on niche retro-carded releases moves quickly, so don't wait on securing this one for your Spider-Man display.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.

Most in-stock orders placed before 12 PM CST ship the same day. We’re label-printing, box-packing machines — without skimping on quality. Your tracking number will probably show up before you’ve even closed the tab.
Every item gets collector-grade treatment: bubble wrap, proper padding, and zero envelope crimes. We pack like your grail’s riding shotgun with us — damage rate is under 1%.
Yep. We’ve been hunting plastic treasures since the ‘90s. We speak fluent collector (MOC, BAF, grail hunting), we’ve camped outside stores for midnight releases, and we run this place like the shop we always wished existed. Professional enablers at your service. 😎
30 days to decide if it’s true love. Not happy? Full refund to your original payment method. Damaged? We replace or refund fast. Just keep items in the condition you got them, and we’ll make it right — because the only drama in collecting should be choosing a display pose. One exception: trading card game product is final sale, since a sealed box can’t be verified once it leaves our hands.
Calling dibs costs you $0 today — we only charge your card when it ships. No awkward “I paid months ago” limbo. Mixing in-stock + pre-orders? In-stock ships now; pre-orders ship together once the last one lands, and shipping’s charged on each leg (pro tip: check ship dates before combining pre-orders). Dates can shift — we’ll keep you posted faster than Spider-Man slings webs. And if we ever can’t deliver (rare), you’re not charged a dime.
