Marvel Legends Card Art and Punisher and Blade Reveals – Marvel.com

A couple of (Return of) Marvel Legends updates from Marvel.com – first up is the card art for Deadpool, Punisher, and Blade, and the reveals for the Punisher and Blade figures.

Hasbro has secured Clayton Crain for RoML series 3, due out in September. The choice is fitting because Deadpool will be reissued, this time in his X-Force colors, and Crain is serving as the artist on that book. This will mark the 3rd variant for this figure – the first two Deadpools came in the Marvel Legends 2-packs from way back in 2010, in his classic red and black and the one issue X-Men blue and yellow. I’m a fan of this Deadpool even though we’ve already seen it a lot – the X-Force version will go great with the SDCC exclusive X-Force 3-pack that will have Wolverine, Archangel, and Psylocke.

Punisher and Blade will continue the Thunderball / Piledriver and Madame Masque / Madame Hydra execution which will feature variant figures sharing the same cardback. I really dig this approach in theory as it gives us another character – in practice I hope availability for the variants become better, since it’s been the aftermarket for me for them so far. Great re-use on these figures – I think they’ll look great. For Punisher, I hope it’s an easy customizing conversion to lose the jacket and give him spandex arms.

Gentle Giant Deadpool Statue Preview?

When I posted the Black Cat preview from Gentle Giant earlier, I mentioned the announcement from the Gentle Giant homepage – this image of Deadpool was one of the teasers. They’ve already built out the categories of Marvel products, and there’s one called “Statues w/Vehicles” – I imagine that this is going to go in that category, and it is an awesome start.

As you may know, I’ve been a fan of Deadpool and his scooter for some time now. (Please pardon the link to my “dead as that guy Deadpool shot” customs website.)

Toy Fair 2011 – Hasbro Marvel Report – Marvel Legends and Marvel Universe

Hasbro held its collector event for the online media outlets – how we qualify for this I’ll never know, but I won’t fight it. It’s a great event that covers all the Hasbro collector-oriented lines, including Star Wars, GI Joes, and Transformers. But my first love is the comic book properties, so I’ll be sharing the pictures and recaps of the Marvel lines first.

First off, let’s start with Marvel Legends. I was a little surprised that they decided to show some items – at least in the slide show. None of what we were shown was available in the showroom, and that’s not surprising since this is 2012 product. And unlike last year, no pictures or video was allowed during the presentation. But, across the board, I can say what was in the slide show looked good.
