Marvel Universe 2011 Wave 1 Carded Pics

At the end of 2009, because Hasbro’s Marvel Universe line had performed so well, we got the first series of 2010 . It’s the same this year – the first series of MU from 2011 is on shelves now – I picked these up between Toys R Us and Target.

For those of you who are wondering who the cardback artist is for 2011 – Dave Vonner told us that it was none other than Olivier Coipel. It’s too bad the modern version of Thor came out this year – it’d be nice to have a Thor cardback in Marvel Universe by Coipel.

Also, notice the Mutant Detected tag on Captain Marvel’s cardback? That must be a nod to the upcoming Masterworks Sentinel.

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.

Marvel Universe 31 (1200x1200)

Silly me! When I first posted our NYCC Marvel Universe coverage, and even after I posted updated pictures after Hasbro’s Saturday reveals, I didn’t notice the Giant-Size X-Men package tucked away into the back of the display case. But it’s there, and I talked to the Hasbro folks about it on Sunday.
