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.

1) Coming out of Toy Fair, it looks like it will be another fantastic year for Marvel in the 3.75-inch scale. With so much focus on the Thor and Captain America (pictured below)  movie lines, how will that affect how much product we see on shelves from the Marvel Universe line?

Ultimate Captain America - wave 1Winter Soldier - wave 1Captain America WWII - wave 1Bucky Captain America - wave 2Captain America Britain - wave 2Crossbones - wave 2Captain America Final Mission - wave 2US Agent - wave 2Captain America Night Landing - wave 3 4Captain America Classic Update - wave 1

The Marvel Universe line continues to perform incredibly well at retail so there should be minimal impact to the number of pegs when we add these new blockbuster properties to the mix. If anything, you should find more MU product in the Fall – just as soon as the new team packs hit shelves in August.

PAX East 2011 – Cosplay Pics

Ayeffkay sent over these pics he took at PAX East. He asked me to filter them, but it’s late and I’m tired. You guys can figure it out anyways. 😀

His last review for AFP was for the Square Enix Bayonetta. He’s bitter I still haven’t finished the game yet.

When Ron posted his WonderCon Booth Babes and Cosplay pics, I remembered that I hadn’t given him the pics from Pax East last month yet. Oops. For the uninitiated, Pax is the gaming convention run by Penny Arcade. It’s less of a dedicated industry show and more of an excuse for a bunch of nerds to get together and play video games.

WonderCon 2011 – Green Lantern

Green Lantern (32) (1280x853).jpg

Yes, I still have WonderCon pics to post – one day I’ll win the lottery and this can become my full-time gig. For now, please accept my apologies that these pics of Green Lantern action figures weren’t posted a week ago. With the movie opening just over 2 months from now, WonderCon was one of the last big pop culture events available to promote the movie and associated merchandise. And Green Lantern had a very strong presence, being featured prominently at both the DC and Mattel booths.
