One item I saw that a few people have asked me about is the Marvel Universe Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends 3-pack, with Spidey, Firestar, and Iceman. I found mine at my local TRU, but I’ve heard that a lot of people have had a hard time finding this set.
I’ve been lucky enough to find the 2.5 wave of Marvel Legends 2-Packs at my local Toys R Us, but I’ve heard from a number of people that they haven’t been able to find them. If you’re still looking, then head over to the TRU website, where they have all three of the new 2-packs in stock.
They’re also included in their Free Shipping Store, so you’ll cut out any shipping cost if your order is over $50.
The Hasbro JOE team is back with another round of Q&A. Thanks to Ray and Indy from the Fwoosh for these questions.
1. How did the Attack on Cobra Island and Defense of Cobra Island 7-packs do? Were they successful enough to make more beyond the upcoming Resolute sets? Can you tease all of us Resolute fans with some possible characters that will be showing up in those 7-packs?
GI JOE Cobra Island 7-packs
The 7 packs did very well and we are excited to be releasing the new Resolute packs in fall 2010, unfortunately we will have to keep you waiting a little longer as they are still being finalized. More information on these packs will be released as soon as possible.
2. What kinds of pairings will be in the “Then and Now” sets?
You will see classic of ring figures with what’s been dubbed as modern era figures.
3. How does movie continuity affect the toy line? For example, since Cover Girl is dead in the movie, would that take her off the table for a Pursuit of Cobra figure? What about the Baroness being “good”?
We try to keep story lines as consistent as possible to avoid confusion but we also try to stay true to fans and the GI Joe lore. It’s all a matter of best judgment and each character is looked at on a case by case basis.
In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figure that you won’t want to let slip by!
Micronauts with Comics – now, as customs these are just ok, but do find the auction interesting in light of the news that Hasbro will be relaunching Micronauts in 2010 – with Hasbro holding Marvel license too, might we see some of these fan favorites at long last? – ends Nov 07, 200917:12:13 PST
Hasbro has shared some pictures of upcoming products across its boys toys lines – GI Joe, Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers. Not a lot in both Joes and Marvel aside from the Marvel Universe Vision – but Star Wars and Transformers have got a bunch to look at.
