Marvel.com got the honors of revealing one of Hasbro’s exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con – a 3-pack Marvel Legends set of 3 of the big hitters from Uncanny X-Force. The set will feature Wolvering (of course), Archangel, and Psylocke for $49.99. Looks like Hasbro is staying true to the relaunch of Legends by keeping all the articulation we know and love – check out the rocker ankles on Wolvie. Can’t wait to see more!
Exclusive First Look At SDCC Marvel Legends Pack
San Diego Comic-Con is fast approaching and that means new toys!
This year, collectors have a chance to hook their adamantium claws into the new Marvel Legends Special Edition Uncanny X-Force Collectors Pack. Featuring six-inch scale figures of Archangel, Wolverine and Psylocke, the characters are seen in their costumes from the Fall of Archangel story line. The set even comes in a collectable display box with exclusive art by comic artist Clayton Crain!
The Marvel Legends Special Edition Uncanny X-Force Collectors Pack is available for an approximate retail price of $49.99 at HasbroToyShop.com and Hasbro Booth #3329 at San Diego Comic-Con.
Back in April, Dave Vonner hinted at teaming up with fellow Hasbro Alum Scott George during a special edition of the Fwooshcast. At the Philadelphia Comic Con, their collaboration, Kasual Friday, revealed a specialty line of figures.
Philadelphia – At Philly Comic Con, Kasual Friday revealed 3 new characters from their upcoming 3″ stylized figure line. Shown for the 1sttime were MGM’s Army of Darkness ASH and CLUBBER LANG along with King Features Syndicate’s THE PHANTOM. These figures will remain on display at Philadelphia Comic Con, Friday and Saturday at theStylinOnline.com booth. Figures will be available Spring 2013.
While at Hasbro, Dave and Scott teamed up to bring us the Marvel Universe line, with Dave on design and Scott on marketing. I’m looking forward to seeing what else they’ll bring to the table with Kasual Friday.
One new item that wasn’t covered in the initial reveals is the The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Figure, which features Bruce Wayne with a Batman suit. The figure itself looks to be a standard DC Universe Classics buck, and the suit is a flexible overlay. I imagine it will limit most of the articulation, but as presented in package (the armory of the Batcave) it looks pretty cool.
The Avengers movie is set to have another record-breaking weekend, setting the second-weekend record with an estimated $103.2MM. And to cap this off, we’ve got the third and final part of Avengers: New Evil, the latest from Bill’s Comics.
MTV Geek has got the goods on the latest Marvel Select announcement from Diamond Select Toys – none other than Rhino, a frequent opponent of Spider-Man, the Hulk, and more recently, Deadpool – all of whom have had their own figures released in the Select line. Looks like Gentle Giant has knocked this one out of the park, sculpt-wise. I’m hoping we’ll see thigh swivels on the final figure.
The Hulk. The Thing. The Abomination. The Juggernaut. Diamond Select Toys oversized Marvel Select action figures have been dazzling collectors for years, and now they’re ready to do it again… with the Rhino!
Designed and sculpted by Gentle Giant, the leather-skinned Spider-Man foe stands over 8 inches tall with 16 points of articulation, and is ready to tear through your Marvel Select collection like tissue paper. If you dont feel like having him stomp Spider-Man on your shelf, he will come ready to display in the now-famous Select collector packaging.
Pre-order him today at your local comic shop or your favorite online toy store, and look for him to hit stores in early 2013!
