Marvel Universe Toys R Us Exclusive 3-Pack – Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

Before I get started, welcome to the folks who are joining us through our DC Universe Gleek giveaway. Thank you for stopping in!

Some of you first-timers may be looking for Mattel action figures and find the site chock full of Hasbro’s Marvel Universe right now. As you’ll come to know, I’ve got a limited amount of space for toys, so when I started on the exclusive Nick Fury earlier in the week, I’ve been working through all the Marvel Universe toys I’ve been finding since getting back from San Diego Comic-Con. MU requires a special photo set up, so I’ve been compelled to get through the backlog so I don’t have to keep switching back and forth on equipment.

I’ve got one more Marvel Universe 3-Pack to go, and on deck are the Mattel and Four Horsemen figures from San Diego Comic-Con.

Some of the Marvel fans I know may not forgive me if I were to admit that I’ve never seen an episode of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. But I’m feeling lucky so I’m coming clean. When the show was on the air, I was strictly a Saturday morning ABC kid, watching Superfriends and learning about conjunctions with Schoolhouse Rock. With Spidey on NBC later in the morning, I just never got to tune in. And at the risk of further alienation, I haven’t read many comics with Firestar in it.

So why did I pick up this set? I guess I really needed a 4th Spider-Man from this particular mold. 😉

Marvel Universe – Wave 5

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.

Marvel Universe Secret Wars Two-Packs – Wave 1 – loose

Marvel Universe Secret Wars Wave 1 - Thunderball, Spider-Man, Klaw, Captain America, Wolverine, and Human Torch

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!

Marvel Universe Exclusive Nick Fury

I’m still recovering from San Diego Comic-Con, but I need to get caught up. There’s a bunch of Con exclusives that I want to take pics of and add to the collection here, but those will have to wait. When I got back home, Nick Fury was waiting for me. He’s the exclusive Marvel Universe figure that you get if you sign up for a Marvel Digital Comics subscription. It’s been a long time since I participated in an exclusive promotion like this, so I couldn’t wait to dive in.
