Marvel Universe Comic 2-Packs – Deadpool / Taskmaster and Patch / Silver Samurai

Last week we had such a great of posts from the guys here that I somehow missed the press image of the upcoming Marvel Universe 2-packs that showed up on hisstank.com forums. There’ll be two new 2-packs – one will feature Deadpool and Taskmaster, and the other the “Patch” incarnation of Wolverine and Silver Samurai.

Happy New Year! AFP’s Best of 2010

As we kick off the new year, I asked the guys to make their picks for for best [insert anything toy-related] for 2010. I wasn’t sure, since we just picked our “most thankful for” figures a few weeks ago at Thanksgiving, if we’d have much to add. Turns out there was plenty that impressed us above and beyond our Thanksgiving picks.

I’ll get us started.

Best of 2010 - Iron Man 2 - Iron Monger

Ron’s pick – Hasbro Iron Man 2 – Iron Monger

I don’t want to get typecast, because I picked the Marvel Legends Iron Man as one of Fwoosh’s Best of 2009. But this year, I think that the Iron Man 2 line from Hasbro, in particular the Comic series, went a long way in winning over fans who were missing their 6-inch Legends to the 4-inch scale.

The line has some really great sculpts, decent enough paint apps, and some fantastic articulation at that size. And, of course, it brought us this awesome Iron Monger – the huge, classic, comic-based blue version that I never thought we’d get, since the movie-based Iron Monger lined shelves for a while.

There were lots of Hasbro Iron Man news and reviews this year, but one of my favorite posts was highlighting this custom Iron Man armory by Thor-El.

Update: Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus and Silver Surfer Even Cheaper ($19.99!) at Amazon.com

Wow, I didn’t think Amazon could drop their prices even lower, but Galactus is now listed at $19.99 – that’s ten bucks cheaper than it was on Friday and $12 less than when it originally was discounted. At this price, there’s no free shipping, but it shouldn’t be too hard to find a $6 item to get it to the $25 cutoff.

So, this’ll be the third time I’m posting this info, and I can’t promise that I won’t post again if Amazon should drop the price to say, $9.99. If they do, to ease the pain I feel from spamming this great deal, I’ll buy a bunch to give to Toys For Tots.

By the way, these great pics I keep swapping in are from Sandman’s review of the Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus and Silver Surfer set.

If you’ve been saving up or are still on the fence about Galactus and Silver Surfer, Amazon is trying to make the decision a lot easier for you. The Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus with Silver Surfer set is on sale for $31.99 right now, and that qualifies for free shipping.

I’m not sure you’re going to find a better deal than that, and right in time for the holidays too! Happy hunting!

Update: Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus and Silver Surfer Even Cheaper at Amazon.com

My apologies for posting this two days in a row (I swapped in a new picture), but after briefly going out of stock today, Amazon came back with more of Galactus and the Silver Surfer, this time for $29.99 – that’s two bucks cheaper than it was yesterday. Go get him now!
