San Diego Comic-Con Marvel Select Pics

You remember that Marvel Select Thing prototype that Art Asylum blogged about a couple of days ago? A painted prototype was on hand at Diamond Select Toys’ booth at Comic-Con. Their display cases are always tough to shoot – the lighting isn’t that great. But at least the Thing and Abomination look outstanding!

One of my nits with most Things that have seen plastic – they’re too big, for me at least. This one is massive.

Marvel Select Thing – Early Sculpt from Art Asylum

Art Asylum has blogged about their work on a Thing for Marvel Select. People have said that they thought this figure was canceled, but I haven’t heard one way or another.

My big pet peeve with the Things we’ve gotten in Marvel Legends (and Universe) is that they’re too tall. Sure, he’s bulky, but he’s not as tall as Reed. So this is a beautiful sculpt, but at Select scale I’m guessing it’ll be much too big to be compatible with my Legends collection.

Thank you Thing

Art Asylum's Marvel Select Thing prototype

This is way early in the development stage, but the Marvel Select Thing is coming along so beautifully that I just couldn’t resist sharing a look with you. Enjoy.

Marvel Universe Secret Wars Two-Packs – Wave 1 – carded

I hope you folks appreciate this. Instead of helping my wife pack for our trip to San Diego (Comic-Con woooo!) I am taking pictures and posting. She’s getting mad! That’s not supposed to start until Comic-Con! (For clarity, I mean all three things – the pictures, the posting, and the getting mad! :D)

Here’s a close look at the first wave of carded figures from Hasbro’s upcoming Marvel Universe Secret Wars comic packs. First, the fronts:

Captain America and Klaw, with Secret Wars #1
Wolverine and Human Torch, with Secret Wars #2
Spider-Man and Thunderball, with Secret Wars #3

The numbering is based on what issue of the comic will be included as the pack-in. Many people have pointed out that the characters included in the two-packs aren’t necessarily linked to the comic pack-in. I’m sure that very clever people will figure out a how to pick figures according to issue number, but I’m guessing that for making each wave balanced with heavy hitters, this was probably too hard to optimize for sales.
