C2E2 – Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo just wrapped up this Sunday and AFP was there to cover all the cool new toy coming out soon. Here is a quick look rundown of the most news-worthy items at the convention.
Abomination is massive – we’re lucky that the Marvel Select packaging is big enough to fit him. If you are looking for a one with a pristine card, that might be tougher to find. With the Hulk and the Thing (the previous big guy releases), I remember that the plastic bubble would sometimes get separated from the card, if you were only holding the card and not supporting the figure underneath.
Marvel Select Abomination
Here he is in all his monstrous glory. This is one big action figure. He is in scale with previous Marvel Select Releases and will strike fear into the hearts of every other figure in your collection.
I said it when Diamond released pics of the Marvel Select Magneto, and I’ll say it again here – these alternate heads really should be pack-ins for otherwise very nice figures.
Marvel Select Deadpool comes fully equipped
This figure is one tough customer and he comes with all the tools of the trade. Deadpool features guns, sais, and swords. In short, he is almost unstoppable! Not only does he come in a wicked masked version, you can also get the variant unmasked version featuring his severely disfigured head! Be on the lookout for both versions at a comic store near you.
I really think the Marvel Select figures have been improving lately, and Magneto is no exception.
I’m not sure that a simple alternate head makes for a great variant though. I miss the days when that would just be a pack-in accessory.
Magneto Marvel Select makes his in package debut
Here it is, hot of the presses. Marvel Select Magneto should be hitting stores any minute now in two different versions! Get the helmeted version everbody knows and loves but also be on the lookout for the variant unmasked edition! Look for it at a comic store near you!
Here’s a quick look at some of the Marvel items that Diamond Select Toys had on display at New York Comic Con, including the show exclusive Age of Apocalypse Marvel Minimates and the Marvel Select Gambit. DST announced Gambit as the newest Marvel Select figure back in August.
