San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Hasbro Marvel Legends

San Diego Comic-Con is just getting started with Preview Night, but I thought you might appreciate an update about the Hasbro Marvel Legends 2-Packs. The Marvel brand team from Hasbro were typically coy about anything past the current line-up of 2-packs. Here’s what we did learn:

Pairings remain the same: Black Widow and Winter Soldier, Deadpool and Warpath, and Valkyrie and Hulk
There will be variant 2-packs for Black Widow (gray suit and short hair) / Winter Soldier (long hair) and Deadpool (X-Men redeco) / Warpath (Uncanny X-Men redeco)
These are due on shelves in October and will be exclusive to Toys R Us.

The Hasbro San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Pre-Show Giveaway – Day 5

Thanks to our friends in the Marvel, G.I. Joe, and Star Wars brand teams at Marvel and the good folks at Hunter PR, ActionFigurePics.com and TheFwoosh.com are pleased to be give our readers a chance to win one of the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con exclusives or other prizes. Through Tuesday next week, we’ll feature one or more prizes each day. Read on for instructions on how to enter to win.

For our final day of giveaways, we’ve got the Star Wars Bounty Hunters 2-Pack. This was previously available at Jedi Con in Dusseldorf, Germany, and will be reissued for Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, Florida, in August.

Star Wars Vintage Collection Bounty Hunters 4-Lom and Zuckuss 2-Pack

While 4-Lom and Zuckuss are now quite well-known to fans, their proper names were initially a topic of considerable debate. When Kenner first produced the figures, the names somehow got reversed. But since these two bounty hunters were not identified in the film, the switch was not immediately noticed. When the mix-up was finally caught and corrected in 1989, Zuckuss and 4-Lom finally got back their rightful identities. In this exclusive set, we are paying homage to the first appearance of these bounty hunters that puzzled so many for years, with replicas of the original packaging-switched names and all!

That wraps up the presentation of our pre-SDCC giveaways – remember, the drawings won’t be held until after San Diego Comic-Con, and you’ll still be able to enter for each day’s drawings until we pick the winners.

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 Most Wanted – Sandman

The 2010 San Diego Comic-Con is one day away and we’re writing down the things we are looking forward to the most! If you’ve never been to Comic-Con, I have to say it is one of the craziest places to be if you’re a fan of comic books, movies, television and most important to us: TOYS!

In this “Super Bowl” of geekdom, we get a lot of first peeks at various companies’ future toy releases. Here’s what I’m looking forward to seeing!

Masters of the Universe Classics (Mattel)

We got a lot of good stuff from this line this year. Last year Battle Cat was the star of the Con for me, as was seeing Teela and Trapjaw. This year they are supposed to show the same amount of figures they showed last year and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us! I’m hoping to see Man-E-Faces, Panthor, Mantenna and maybe some vehicles!!

Hasbro San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Marvel Universe Galactus – Marvel.com Video

Agent_M over at Marvel blogged about opening up his advanced preview of the Hasbro San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Marvel Universe Galactus. It really does dwarf the Build-a-Figure version from way back during Toy Biz’s Marvel Legends run.

I’m glad to see that the electronics are still part of this package. It’s too bad they couldn’t find a way to get the Silver Surfer included, though. Nevertheless, this is an awesome exclusive for SDCC!

Don’t forget to get your chance at a bunch of the Hasbro Comic-Con exclusives (and more) during our Hasbro San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Pre-Show Giveaway. Day 1 here at AFP featured the Iron Man 2 Mighty Muggs figure and the Super Hero Squad 3-pack.
