Marvel Legends 2-Pack Kree Soldier and Skrull Soldier on New Sale at ToysRUs.com

At the start of the month, we noticed that the Marvel Legends Kree Soldier and Skrull Soldier 2-pack was being priced by ToysRUs.com to move at $13.98, just about what we used to pay for Marvel Legends back in the day.

Now they’re on sale again, but you’ll have to be an army builder to take advantage of it.

>> Marvel Legends 2-Pack Kree Soldier & Skrull Soldier – $19.99 (buy one, get one half off)

In fact, there’s nearly 500 products that are part of this BOGOHO deal that lasts through 9/25.

This deal works out to be just a little bit more than the previous sale, but hey, who’s gonna complain about pennies if you missed out last time. We’ve got new Marvel Legends 2-packs targeted to hit this fall, and Hasbro is aiming to relaunch the Marvel Legends line in a big way in 2012 – so it’s time to clear the warehouse.

For more pics, here’s my review of the Marvel Legends Alien Armies 2-pack from just about a year ago.

Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus and Silver Surfer

Brace yourselves, AFP readers! Today we’ll take a look at Hasbro’s 19-inch Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus! Before last year’s announcement of this large-sized figure, the chances of getting large figures like these seemed slim. Toybiz created some of the tallest Build-a-Figures like the Sentinel (16 inches tall) and Apocalypse (15 inches). When Hasbro took over, they veered towards smaller BAFs like the Blob and Ronan. They did do a Fin Fang Foom (about 15 inches), spread over two Hulk-themed waves, but since then have stopped doing Marvel BAFs. They also released the Wal-Mart exclusive Marvel Universe Gigantic Battles, which included some large figures like Giant Man and the Skrull Giant, each packaged with a smaller Marvel Universe figure, the giants were around 12 inches tall, still considerably shorter than the Sentinel and Apocalypse.

It seems the Gigantic Battles were a testing ground to see if there’s interest in large figures, as we now have this 19-inch Galactus arriving at Toys R Us shelves – and available online too! Forgive my excitement – as much as I love the older Toybiz Marvel Legends BAF Galactus (he was the first of his kind) and have fond memories of assembling him, I am happy to see Hasbro make a larger, more imposing Galactus!

Ok, that’s enough gushing, onto the review!

Marvel Universe Wave 9 Iron Patriot (Regular and Variant) Quick Pics

DSCN8176.JPG

To continue with some Marvel Universe Wave 9 goodness, here’s some Quick Pics of Iron Patriot! I managed to pick up both versions of him, unmasked and masked. Obviously, this is a repaint of the previously released Extremis Iron Man figure. I loved the Extremis figure so I couldn’t pass up picking up Norman in his own version of the armor. Plus, he was the main villain during Dark Reign so he’s an important character for me. I’ve put up pics of the unmasked, Osborn mixed in with his masked Iron Patriot armor. On to the pics!
