I hope you folks appreciate this. Instead of helping my wife pack for our trip to San Diego (Comic-Con woooo!) I am taking pictures and posting. She’s getting mad! That’s not supposed to start until Comic-Con! (For clarity, I mean all three things – the pictures, the posting, and the getting mad! :D)
Here’s a close look at the first wave of carded figures from Hasbro’s upcoming Marvel Universe Secret Wars comic packs. First, the fronts:
Captain America and Klaw, with Secret Wars #1
Wolverine and Human Torch, with Secret Wars #2
Spider-Man and Thunderball, with Secret Wars #3
The numbering is based on what issue of the comic will be included as the pack-in. Many people have pointed out that the characters included in the two-packs aren’t necessarily linked to the comic pack-in. I’m sure that very clever people will figure out a how to pick figures according to issue number, but I’m guessing that for making each wave balanced with heavy hitters, this was probably too hard to optimize for sales.

So, courtesy of the Marvel Universe Covers Contest and our good friends at Hasbro, we can begin our coverage of San Diego Comic-Con toys a day early. If you’re into urban vinyl that is both cuddly and deadly, then look no further. The San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Mighty Muggs Wolverine is just that. He’s also the first Mighty Muggs Wolvie to feature retractable claws. SNIKT!
By virtue of the Marvel Universe Covers Contest I’ve gotten my big hands on a set of the second Hasbro wave of Marvel Legends 2-Packs that have been popping up. While I can’t open up the prize packages, I did snap a few pictures of the figures still in package. Enjoy!
Paul Harding has posted his prototype for the upcoming Colossus single-carded figure from Hasbro’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine line. Full-size pics on Paul’s blog – definitely worth checking out for more sculpts and original artwork. Very cool!

Here’ s the latest from my contributions to the Hasbro camp. It’s a comic-inspired Colossus that stands 4 inches short. Fully articulated and ready to smash really small things.
