Watch Marvel Super Heroes: What The–?! Ep. 21 Wolverine: Partial Recall

Marvel Super Heroes What The-- Ep. 21

Speaking of summer blockbusters, The Wolverine opens July 26. And while I can’t forgive 20th Century Fox for damaging the franchise with the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie and killing any hope for a Ryan Reynolds Deadpool movie, I’m even more concerned about what they might do to ruin the classic Claremont / Miller comics collaboration that still holds up over 30 years later.

Putting all that aside, one thing we can all look forward to is a Wolverine action figure send-up from the MSH: What The–?! crew at Marvel. They haven’t released one yet for the upcoming movie, but this one’s an oldie but goodie from a couple years back. Enjoy!

Taco Truck Packaging Best Thing about Marvel Universe Deadpool Corps SDCC Exclusive

I’ve been trying to get myself pumped up about Hasbro’s Marvel Universe exclusive for San Diego Comic-Con. I love Deadpool, so you’d think that six versions of Deadpool in taco truck packaging would be right up my alley. While the packaging truly is glorious, it’s tough to see this as more than a bunch of missed opportunities. Deadpool himself looks to be recycled from one of the figures back from Wolverine Origins, and while they added the floaties (a great touch) you’d think if they were going to add an alternate head, they could have included Headpool / Zombie Deadpool. Lady Deadpool and the Champ are nice representations of the comic book characters, but I really do hate the book – Rob Liefeld artwork – need I say more?

Border Patrol: Masters of the Universe Classics Thundarr, Marvel Universe Hank Pym Wasp, and WWE Elite Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase

Masters of the Universe Classics Thundarr the Barbarian by Joe Amato – even though Thundarr isn’t a Filmation property, he and He-Man go together like peanut butter and jelly – so it’s no wonder that a Thundarr custom from a He-Man body would look so good – now we just need a Princess Ariel and Ookla, Joe! – ends Jun 23, 2013 14:45:22 PDT
