Marvel Universe Nick Fury Exclusive Offer Goes Live

The Nick Fury offer went live, at http://marvel.com/digitalcomics/nickfury, and it was just as described by Fwooshers who got some of the first figures of Marvel Universe wave 4.  There are some rumors right now that this will not be the only way to get our favorite cigar-chomping SHIELD agent – but nothing that I’ve heard directly, so take that with a grain of salt.

Cmdstore Exclusive Marvel Select First Appearance Sabretooth

We first saw this figure when we visited Diamond Select Toys at Toy Fair a few months ago.  They didn’t allow photographs, and just indicated that they were working on making this an online retailer exclusive.  Now we know which one it is!

AFP’s Hasbro Marvel Q&A Roundup – 5/29/9

The Hasbro Marvel team checks in for the latest round of Q&A.

1. We’ll start off with a couple of questions about Marvel Universe. Now that you’ve got a couple of waves of MU at retail, what have you learned about the 3 3/4-inch market for Marvel? How might that have influenced the line for 2010?

The reception for Marvel Universe has been tremendous and we’re already hard at work on our plans for 2010.

2. Will the Marvel Universe Fan’s Choice picks be made as single carded figures for retail, or are you thinking of other options?  For example, Winter Soldier could be part of an “Evolutions” set with Bucky and the Alex Ross-designed Captain America.  Archangel, Mystique, and Havok could be part of an X-Men box set or be comic-based figures in the Wolverine line.  Mary Jane would seem a more likely pick as a show exclusive.  Any hints for the two bonus picks?  (One guess is Psylocke – are we right?)

We’re leading off with the first Universe box set at SDCC…so we’re definitely looking at other possibilities outside the realm of single carded figures.  Just take a look at the slate for Fall exclusives: 3 different multi packs and 2 Gigantic Battles!  That’ll give you a good idea for where our heads are at.  Hint on one of the runner ups – you don’t want to mess with him.

Marvel Universe Nick Fury Exclusive Offer Revealed

Marvel Universe Nick Fury
Marvel Universe Nick Fury

Posters on TheFwoosh.com who have found wave 4 of Marvel Universe have shared some details on the Nick Fury exclusive figure that was revealed at New York Comic-Con earlier this year. Apparently, our favorite cigar-chomping SHIELD agent will be available as an incentive to subscribe to the Marvel Digital Comics service. The Hasbro figures must have arrived earlier than expected – Marvel’s site (marvel.com/nickfury) is not yet live and there’s no other information available.

So, I picked up my Union Jack and and Hobgoblin from Wave 4 at Target today. Both of them have the sticker on them about the Nick Fury offer. Here is exactly what they say

Front: Nick Fury Exclusive Figure Offer marvel.com/nickfury

Side: “Get the Exclusive Nick Fury figure with a Marvel Digital Comics Subscription at: $24.99 ($8.33/month) for a 3-Month or $59.88 ($4.99/month) for an Annual. Details inside or visit marvel.com/nickfury)” “Offer valid US and Canada only.” “Offer Valid 6/1/09 – 12/31/09”.

First of all – even though the packaging says “Details Inside” there is absolutely nothing containing any details on the offer inside the package. In each figure package was the Fury Files card, memo and secret code and nothing else. Nothing further explaining the offer for the Nick Fury figure.

Also, as another poster pointed out, going to marvel.com/nickfury just gets you an error page as there is no content for that page yet. I guess they won’t have it go live until 6/1.

But, based on the wording on the sticker it’s implying that the Nick Fury figure is going to be a free give away for purchasing a subscription to Digital Comics at Marvel.com.
