SDCC 2013: Hasbro Marvel Universe (Preview Night)

Hasbro Marvel Universe (1 of 9)

With the return of Marvel Legends, Hasbro’s 4-inch Marvel Universe line has slowed down a little bit. It’s understandable – collectors who had no outlet for their Marvel appetites had adopted the line, but with 6-inches back in force, some old-timers who had bought in wholesale to Universe are back to cherry-picking, or back solely on the Legends line.

Play Imaginative Super Alloy Marvel and DC (7 of 12)

Singapore’s Play Imaginative is poised to compete in the United States on a number of fronts with its high-end diecast collectibles. To fit into the crowded Marvel and DC licensed product markets, they’ve had to pick out niche scales that were available. For Marvel, they’ve got Iron Man in the 1/4 and 1/12 scale, while for DC, it’s 1/6. All look great, but for those of us hoping for one company to have Marvel and DC under one roof in compatible scales, we’ll keep waiting.
