We’re back with the first Marvel Q&A of 2010 from the team at Hasbro. Thanks guys!
1) We’ve seen Marvel Universe card art for the Iron Patriot that shows Norman Osborn unmasked, holding the Iron Patriot helmet. Will the upcoming figure include an Iron Patriot head, a Norman Osborn head, or (we hope) both?
You just never know what Norman is thinking or how he’ll show up – just be on the look out!
It’s nice to get a break from Tony Stark / Iron Man – with War Machine and Whiplash, that’s two figures. I think there’s one or two more non-Tony Stark figures left, but I’d expect the Mark IV or Mark VI to be announced next.
Another forceful Iron Man 2 collectible is coming!

Guess who he is? An electrical technician, weapon designer assassin or villain?
Holding sophisticated metal-like whips, wearing burnt and torn jumpsuit, carrying real-like electricity generator on his back, he is fiercely heading to battle against the armored superhero Iron Man!
Coming with full gear of highly detailed weapons and accessories this collectible figurine shall be amazing enough to enter your collection, not to mention the newly developed head sculpt with realized likeness of the leading actor, Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Mickey Rourke! Another highlight of the collectible is the forceful muscular upper body which is widely figurines, the light-up function is expected, presenting on his chest.

Just over a week ago, Marvel announced a Fan’s Choice Vote to select the exclusive Marvel Universe figure that would be offered to Digital Comics subscribers this year. Today, the results are in! I’m not surprised at the fan pick, but had hoped we would get a figure that wouldn’t be a straight up repaint of an upcoming figure.
