Look no further, guys! Wave 1 of the Cap 3.75-inch line is on sale right now at HasbroToyShop.com. You can find them all on the HasbroToyShop.com Captain America page.
I picked up the updated Winter Soldier plus a basic Cap – I’d like to compare them to the earlier versions from the Marvel Universe line.
Welcome to a new and (hopefully) regular article here on AFP; Buzzy Fret’s Custom Radar. Ron has been kind enough to let me showcase my custom figures here on AFP and now I’m going to shine a spotlight on customs that come up on my radar when I’m checking out the custom galleries on the boards.
First up on the custom radar: Marvel Legends Style Black Widow by Strange Planet as shown on The Fwoosh.
I am not a Gambit fan. He was introduced in X-Men during the explosion in comics “investing” – let’s face it – there weren’t a lot of good comic books or comic book characters that came out of that period in the early 90’s. That said, there’s something about these figures that capture the douchebaggery that I envision when it comes to Gambit. I suppose that’s probably a positive for the Gambit fans out there.
Get Ready for the Gambit Marvel Select Figure
Here it is, the newest Marvel Select Figure: Gambit! Available as the regular edition or a variant long hair version. This figure features Marvel Select’s standard 16 points of articulation, as well as multiple hands and accessories. Gambit comes with a similarly themed Danger Room base to our Cyclops figure, allowing collectors to create a mini diorama! Look for it at a specialty store near you!
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?
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.
