Marvel Universe – Wave 5

Marvel Universe Wave 5 - Spider-Man, Guardian, Electro, Sub Mariner, and Iron Man

It feels like right before San Diego Comic-Con, I was trying to get out from behind a huge backlog of Marvel Universe.  And here we are, just about a week after SDCC and it feels like I’m getting out from behind a huge backlog of Marvel Universe.  In the past couple of days, I’ve posted reviews of the Secret Wars 2-packs and the exclusive Nick Fury, and now I’ve got Marvel Universe Wave 5 – Electro, Spider-Man, Guardian, Iron Man, and Prince Namor the Sub Mariner.  But that’s not all – soon I hope to have pics up of the exclusive Toys R Us 3-packs – the ones I have, at least.

Before we get too far, here’s the carded images of the wave.

A couple of days before leaving for San Diego Comic-Con, our friends on the Hasbro Marvel team sent me the prize packs for the Marvel Universe Covers Contest (announcement | entries).  Included was a set of wave 1 of the Marvel Universe Secret Wars line.  I took pics of the packaged figures, but it’s been such sweet torture, having them in hand but not being able to open them.

When I got back home, I went food shopping with my wife.  Instead of stopping in the store with her, I went to the local mom and pop toy store around the corner, and I was psyched to find these figures on the shelves.  Thank you, Talbots Toyland!

San Diego Comic-Con Hasbro Marvel Pics

It’s late (I forgot that I shouldn’t wait in lines on Preview Night – thank you for reminding me, Mattel!), so I’ll be brief with my comments.  Hasbro’s Marvel display had a lot to be excited about.

Update: Added the ML 2-Packs and and a few more pictures in most categories.

Marvel Legends 2-Packs – If the current wave of 2-packs sells, we should see white Ninja / Dum Dum Dugan, Sharon Carter / Stealth Iron Man, and Invisible Woman / Human Torch 2-packs hitting retail.

Marvel Legends Fan Choice – Wow.  Eclectic choices.  Good looking figures that leverage lots of existing parts.  This will be a tough vote for the Fan Choice poll.
