Hasbro Marvel Brand Team Interview Part 1 of 2

Coming out of Toy Fair, Hasbro’s PR team was kind enough to set up a brief interview with the Hasbro Marvel brand team. We took the opportunity to touch on a range of subjects, including the upcoming movie figures, Marvel Universe, and what’s in store for us with the Marvel Legends re-launch. Thanks to Scott George, David Vonner, and Dwight Stall for participating.

The fabled 6” Titanium Man is finally making its way to store shelves and it’s been a long time coming. We first got a peak at the figure at SDCC in 2009, and then we were teased a bit more as test shots and prototypes found their way to ebay, and it makes me happy to say that the long wait to add this guy to our displays is finally over, as he’s currently popping up at various retail stores across the country. Naturally, he’s a tough one to find since he’s the only truly “new” figure in the wave and is the one everyone is after as a result, but once in hand, I have to say he was worth the wait.
