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.

Masters of the Universe Classics Man-At-Arms

I debated whether to post an actual review of the Masters of the Universe Classics Man-At-Arms. After all, TheFwoosh.com did an extensive First Look when VeeBee received an early review figure. And it’s not like these are in abundant supply, having sold out on Mattycollector.com in around 45 minutes.

(At this point I’d like to thank McDonald’s for providing the free wi-fi that enabled me to complete my order just under the wire.)

However, since some of you may be thinking of picking one of these up on the aftermarket – they’re selling for between $30 and $50 on Ebay – or even if you’re just looking for more pics of Man-At-Arms, read on.

Marvel Legends 2-Packs Wave 2 – packaged

By virtue of the Marvel Universe Covers Contest I’ve gotten my big hands on a set of the second Hasbro wave of Marvel Legends 2-Packs that have been popping up. While I can’t open up the prize packages, I did snap a few pictures of the figures still in package. Enjoy!

DC Universe Classics Clash in the Cosmos – Superman and Braniac

Clash in the Cosmos is one of three two-packs available from Mattel in the DC Universe Classics line. This two pack features Superman and Brainiac, and like the Fists of Clay two-pack (featuring Batman and Clayface), it’s available at online retailers, while the Battle for Earth 3 two-pack (featuring Ultraman and Alexander Luthor) that I reviewed earlier is a Mattycollector.com exclusive, the second allotment of which is going on sale tomorrow.

I’m just now realizing that with all of these two-packs I’ve been completely unaware of their official name until I had them in my hands, previously knowing them only as the Superman / Brainiac two pack, etc. It’s funny because the names are quite catchy. I’ll have to do a better job of learning those up front.
