Marvel Avengers Assemble (Successor to Marvel Universe) In Stock at Amazon

The first wave of the new Marvel Avengers Assemble line is in stock now at Amazon. Avengers Assemble is the result of Hasbro’s brand refresh for the Marvel Universe line. It’s intended to match Marvel Universe in terms of sculpt, articulation, and paint, while making it more accessible for both retailers and kids – the line leverages the success of the Avengers movie, and includes accessories with action features.

I’d say the first wave is a fair example of what to expect. With the collector-oriented figures we see the sculpt and articulation we have grown to love in MU – for example, Falcon comes with rocker ankles, hip swivels, and double knees. The more heavily packed big hitters of Captain America, Iron Man, and Hulk are not as compelling. I think Hasbro knows it needs only appeal to the lowest common denominator with them, and aren’t trying as hard.

Marvel Avengers Assemble Cosmic Strike Red Skull Figure – $10.99
Marvel Avengers Assemble Inferno Cannon Black Widow Figure – $10.99
Marvel Avengers Assemble Sky Attack Falcon Figure – $10.99

ThreeA Toys Adventure Kartel Dead Astronaut Gangsta Pre-Order Opens Today

The AK Golden Dolphin set was the first of the Adventure Kartel sets needed to get a promotional AK Shadow. I was still decompressing from SDCC when that pre-order went up, so I missed posting about it.

The Dead Astronaut Gangsta set is the second of the four sets for that Shadow. The white and black Gangstas will also be available as singles (with no Shadow promo later, of course). It all goes up for pre-order on Bambaland today in a couple of hours, at 6PM EST. The window for pre-ordering is 24 hours.

Adventure Kartel Dead Astronaut Gangsta goes up for pre-order on August 7th 9:00AM Hong Kong time at www.bambalandstore.com

As part of standard pre-order, we will offer two singles and AKLUB set.

Singles price is 160USD and set costs 310USD.

Set of Black and White Dead Astronaut Gangstas comes with sweet EETU accessory exclusive to the set. This set will be the second set (GOLDEN DOLPHIN NO SHIT ON THESE FLIPPERS SET – was first) purchase within AKLUB (Adventure Kartel club) which goes towards 1/6th scale MS SHADOW figure. To remind you: MS SHADOW will not be available anywhere else and to receive it you have to make four AKLUB sets purchases; MS SHADOW comes free, however you will have to cover the shipping charges. AKLUB isn’t limited to 3AA members only.

AFP Free Stuff Giveaway – SDCC 2013 Exclusive Marvel Universe Deadpool Corps Taco Truck

If you’ve been following AFP for a while, you probably know that I love Deadpool – so when I had a chance, I bought the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Marvel Universe Deadpool Corps that comes ingeniously packaged in a taco truck. But as cool as the taco truck is, I’ve found that I just can’t get by my low regard for the comic book mini-series that spawned this 6-pack of of Deadpool, Lady Deadpool, Kidpool, Dogpool, Squirrelpool, and the Champion of the Universe. I mean, just typing that in has me shaking my head with disdain. So, instead of keeping this exclusive, I’ve decided to put it up for grabs in a special AFP Free Stuff giveaway.

(Note: Marvel Legends Deadpool, who is confused at my decision to buy something just to decide to give it away, is not part of this giveaway. Him, I’m keeping!)

It’s easy to enter, so while there can only be one winner of this contest, I hope that my dislike of a comic book will result in you getting your hands on a sold-out San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. And if you’re already a fan of the AFP Facebook page or follow the AFP Twitter account, you can un-like and un-follow and then re-like and re-follow using the contest widget, for those extra shots at winning this giveaway. Spread the word and good luck!

Movie Masters Man of Steel Superman in Black Suit and Jor-El in Stock on Amazon for $15.99

Last night I noticed that Amazon had the black-suited Superman from Mattel’s Movie Masters Man of Steel line in stock for $15.99. (Hint: if you like AFP’s Facebook page or follow the AFP Twitter account you got a special heads up last night.) Supes is still up this morning so I thought I’d make an official post about it.

Jor-El is also back in stock at the same price, and the regular Superman never left – thus negating any chance of a Superman Returns joke.
