Two new toys from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings confirm the MCU's first animal sidekick, Morris.
A slew of new Marvel toys were announced today for Shang-Chi following yesterday's trailer release. Hasbro is adding the film's heroes and villains to its Legends Series, and the new figures have revealed some interesting details about the film. The Katy figure, based on Awkwafina's character in the film, includes a mythical animal sidekick and provides the best look yet at the fantastical beast. Check it out below:

No further information is given on the creature, which lacks a discernible face but has a dual set of wings atop its shaggy dog-like body. The animal, which seems like it will be paired with Katy in the film given it's included with her figure, was first revealed in a LEGO toy leak in February. That reveal included a less detailed version of the character but did list its name as Morris. The toy set also included a dragon, teasing yet another mystical creature that will appear in the film.
Along with the Hasbro figures, Marvel revealed even more Shang-Chi toys, including the official reveal of another LEGO set that also includes Morris. Check it out:
The creature once again appears with Katy, this time during a fight between Shang-Chi and villains Wenwu and Razor Fist.
Along with the additional looks at Morris, the toy reveals today also confirmed that the MCU is updating the Ten Rings of Power. A Wenwu figure and a blaster toy both confirm that the glowing arm rings seen in the trailer will be the movie's version of the rings from the comics, which typically possess their own unique powers.
