Marvel.com got the honors of revealing one of Hasbro’s exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con – a 3-pack Marvel Legends set of 3 of the big hitters from Uncanny X-Force. The set will feature Wolvering (of course), Archangel, and Psylocke for $49.99. Looks like Hasbro is staying true to the relaunch of Legends by keeping all the articulation we know and love – check out the rocker ankles on Wolvie. Can’t wait to see more!
Exclusive First Look At SDCC Marvel Legends Pack
San Diego Comic-Con is fast approaching and that means new toys!
This year, collectors have a chance to hook their adamantium claws into the new Marvel Legends Special Edition Uncanny X-Force Collectors Pack. Featuring six-inch scale figures of Archangel, Wolverine and Psylocke, the characters are seen in their costumes from the Fall of Archangel story line. The set even comes in a collectable display box with exclusive art by comic artist Clayton Crain!
The Marvel Legends Special Edition Uncanny X-Force Collectors Pack is available for an approximate retail price of $49.99 at HasbroToyShop.com and Hasbro Booth #3329 at San Diego Comic-Con.
One new item that wasn’t covered in the initial reveals is the The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Figure, which features Bruce Wayne with a Batman suit. The figure itself looks to be a standard DC Universe Classics buck, and the suit is a flexible overlay. I imagine it will limit most of the articulation, but as presented in package (the armory of the Batcave) it looks pretty cool.
Maybe it’s just me, but with the San Diego Comic-Con exclusives Mattel revealed yesterday, I am starting to think they are losing touch with their core market for their collector-oriented lines – the little boys that grew up with toys from He-Man and DC Comics and now have a strong nostalgic pull toward their grown-up versions. I understand the Cars, the Tiny Titans and the Polly Pockets – those same guys now have little boys and girls of their own, and SDCC has become a family event. But the rest seem odd or somehow miss the mark.
Diamond Select Toys and IDW are promoting their Battle Beasts collaboration with an exclusive Battle Beasts Minimate. DST will reveal the first full wave of the Battle Beasts Minimates at San Diego Comic-Con later this year. They should be available in stores this fall. In parallel, IDW will launch a Battle Beasts comic book miniseries, also at San Diego Comic-Con.
It’s becoming a tradition – each year when the Club Eternia exclusives ship, I publish one of the more popular posts on AFP – the map viewer for the Club Eternia exclusive map. This year, Mattel shipped the Map of Preternia with the club exclusive Shadow Weaver.
