It’s been quite a wait since we the last wave of Marvel Legends 2-packs. We posted our last review, of the Dum Dum Dugan and Sharon Carter 2-pack, almost exactly a year ago. Now the latest set of 2-packs, featuring Valkyrie and Hulk, Black Widow and Winter Soldier, and Deadpool and Warpath, are hitting Toys R Us stores. I don’t have these in hand yet, but gunbuster718 of the Fwoosh was kind enough to share his pictures. I’ll write up some quick thoughts but will reserve judgment until I have my own set to review.
Looks like with the Web of Spider-Man HeroClix series, you’ll get the chance to pick up a First Appearance Spider-Man HeroClix as some kind of mail-in promotion. I might have to pick up a HeroClix Deadpool and make a Marvel Legends Icons-sized Rhino to go with him. 😀
Another timely MSH: What The–?! short from the guys at Marvel – the Hood custom looks just like the one shown at the Hasbro booth at San Diego Comic-Con last year, and I admit I would like a figure of the Iron Patriot with an interchangeable Norman Osborne head.
Check out a short but special “Marvel Super Heroes: What The–?! ” SIEGE Promo featuring the Cabal!
With the weight of the past few months hanging over him, why has Norman Osborn gathered his Cabal of The Hood, Loki and Taskmaster together in Avengers Tower for an ominous meeting? We’re not sure, but we do know this Marvel Super Heroes: What The–?! Siege promo has nothing to do with reality and everything to do with hilarity!
To wrap it up, here’s my write-up on four Marvel Legends Icons customs – Deadpool, Bob (Agent of Hydra), Taskmaster, and Agent X – whom I entered into CustomCon as Agency X. For those of you paying attention, I submitted them under a pseudonym, Iron Molars, which is an anagram of my real name. I did so in part so I could write up a gratuitous self-description, but also because I was just a little embarrassed that my three submissions were all on the last day.
Traditionally, CustomCon saves up for a big finale on the last day, but this wasn’t a case of me thinking my stuff deserved that. Rather, it was because I was just so overloaded getting the rest of the days entries throughout the week prepped that I didn’t have time to get my own stuff finished. I took these pictures the same day I put the final day of CustomCon up.
