Marvel Universe 2011 Wave 1 Retailer Pics

Apparently the first wave of Marvel Universe that’s slated for 2011 has started hitting at some Toys R Us locations. (Edit: Looks like I misread some Marvel sightings reports – this wave hasn’t been found at retail yet.)

If you prefer a sure thing like I do, you can pre-order a set, which includes Captain Marvel, Doc Samson, Iron Man, Planet Hulk, Spider-Man 2099, and Spider Woman, at some online retailers, like AFP sponsor Big Bad Toy Store.

This is very cool – Mattel often has Four Horsemen 2-ups for DC Universe Classics on hand at shows like San Diego Comic-Con and Toy Fair to introduce new waves of figures. If you haven’t had a chance to see any of these in person, they’re really gorgeous, as they feature the awesome 4H sculpts and are painted by hand.

Found these pictures of the Hal Jordan 2-up on the DC Universe Classics Archive.

After Xavion took off for home, I decided to see just how much work it would be to do those mods. Little did I expect it to be easier than I ever imagined!
