Marvel has provided CBR with an exclusive first look at two of its upcoming Hasbro homage covers, featuring some of the publisher's iconic covers.

In October, Marvel Comics will bring back the toys to its covers, as Hasbro reproduces iconic covers from throughout the publisher's history with figures from its Marvel Legends line. Marvel has provided CBR with an exclusive first look at two of the upcoming issues with Hasbro variants, "Captain America" #25 (homaging "Captain America" #115) and "All-New X-Men" #33 (homaging "X-Men" #1). The covers even convert the price to cents instead of dollars and cents.

The Hasbro variants are the second set of homage covers to debut in October, with the Deadpool photobomb variants also releasing that month to help celebrate Marvel's 75th Anniversary. It's also not the first time toys have been featured on Marvel covers. The publisher previously released a series of LEGO variant covers in September 2013 in conjunction with the release of the "LEGO Marvel Super Heroes" video game.
