With CustomCon 24 going on at TheFwoosh.com, this is a horrible time for me to be posting custom action figures of my own, especially when they aren’t quite customs and just some simple modifications on some already pretty good figures.  As you can see, I’ve been buying up Marvel Legends 2-packs with SHIELD agents like the line were being canceled (it’s not!) – and as good as these figures are straight out of the package, I couldn’t resist doing some touch-ups.

Marvel Universe 2010 Wave 2 Press Pics

ActionFigs.com has pics of the second wave of 2010 Marvel Universe product, including the highly anticipated Luke Cage, Black Widow, and Thor.

Wave 1 has already hit retail even though we haven’t closed out 2009 yet – I think this is because sell-through on Marvel Universe is pretty strong.

Marvel Universe Gigantic Battles Giant Skrull, Captain America, Goliath, and Iron Man

I had hoped to do a joint review with Pablolobo from the Fwoosh, since he got his hands on the blue and yellow version of Goliath, but he has been too busy running marathons, pooping, and giving presentations (hopefully not about pooping) at work.

We’ll be taking a look today at the two Marvel Universe Gigantic Battles sets that are exclusive to Wal-Mart.  The first set features a Giant Skrull and the Bucky Barnes Captain America, and the second features Goliath and a pointy-headed Iron Man.  I liked the idea of these very much when they were first announced, because it’s another sign of strength for the Marvel Universe line, and could be a stepping stone to other large format toys, like vehicles and playsets.  Let’s see how these held up in production.
