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.
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!
You might think that the price point on the Hot Toys Avengers movie figures is a little too rich for your blood. Or maybe you want something to satisfy that Avengers craving *today*. If so, DST has a couple of new releases on shelves now.
I’m thinking that the Marvel Select Hulk could capture Mark Ruffalo’s likeness a little better, but I don’t really mind. This Hulk has an ab tilt and swivel, two fists, bicep swivels, and DC Universe Classics hips. Innovation is allowing DST to cram more functional points of articulation into the limit prescribed by their license. Kudos to the designers!
And if you’re looking to army build a Chitauri invasion force, Minimates might be the way to go. Might also be the only way to get a movie Maria Hill figure.
It was nearly three years ago that Hot Toys secured the Marvel movie license. Arguably, their biggest success has been the Iron Man figures from the two film and counting franchise that has spawned a figure or two for each version of the armor as well as a couple of the supporting characters. But with the success of The Avengers movie that shattered domestic box office records with its $207.4MM opening last weekend, we could see a new cash cow for Hot Toys. I suppose it’s more of a life extension for the existing cash cow, as Iron Man is also part of this team.
