At Hasbro’s special preview night, we saw a few figures from both the 6-inch Avengers line and the 3.75-inch Avengers line. At the official NYCC preview night, Hasbro had more of both on display. I think both lines are looking really good. For the recent Marvel movies, I’ve only picked up a couple of the Iron Man figures – these have me thinking about building out a full movie collection.

When Hasbro announced the winners of their Marvel Legends Fan’s Choice poll wayyyy back in August – and that’s 2009, not this year – there was a very polarized reaction. Cheering were the folks who never had the chance to pick up the original Marvel Legends Deadpool from wave 6 in the Toy Biz run. And jeering were the folks who may already have had Deadpool but were regardless upset that one of the few slots for Marvel Legends, which under Hasbro has been limited to a handful of 2-packs over the course of the past couple of years, was going to be used for a re-do.
I was lucky enough to find the highly coveted RedPool 2-pack recently and wanted to snap some pictures comparing the new figures with the original release.
At the end of 2009, because Hasbro’s Marvel Universe line had performed so well, we got the first series of 2010 . It’s the same this year – the first series of MU from 2011 is on shelves now – I picked these up between Toys R Us and Target.
For those of you who are wondering who the cardback artist is for 2011 – Dave Vonner told us that it was none other than Olivier Coipel. It’s too bad the modern version of Thor came out this year – it’d be nice to have a Thor cardback in Marvel Universe by Coipel.
Also, notice the Mutant Detected tag on Captain Marvel’s cardback? That must be a nod to the upcoming Masterworks Sentinel.
I’m sure most of the FOOM toy collectors know that the new Hasbro Marvel Legends TRU Exclusive Fan’s Choice Winner 2-packs are now flooding into Toys R Us stores and available on TRU.com. Since I’ve been able to get the sets I was coveting, I thought I’d take a little break from DC Universe Classics and spread some Marvel Legends love – starting with the jade giant of the Marvel U., the Hulk!
