At the end of last week we had a preview of what was to appear in Toyfare #157, the San Diego Comic-Con pre-show issue, and that issue is on news stands today.
I think the editorial staff at Toyfare is trying to dominate the search engine results for “WORLD PREMIERE” and “WORLD PREMIERING” – there’s going to be a lot to see in this issue, including a new 12-inch Star Wars line from Gentle Giant that I had heard nothing about before today. Cool!
We just got done posting the hi res images for all the Hasbro exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con, and now we’ve got Attack of the Show’s Blair Butler at Hasbro’s HQ in Pawtucket, RI, with Hasbro’s Jerry Jivoin.
Check out that massive that 19-inch Galactus! And the flip up mask on the Mighty Muggs Iron Man is pretty cool too.

In Toyfare magazine two months ago, we got some looks at the Hasbro Marvel Universe exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. With a week to go before the big show, Hasbro’s sent us some big pics of all of their exclusives. For those of you not going to be there, all of the items, with the exception of the Star Wars exclusive, are said to be available on HasbroToyShop.com after the convention.
Enjoy!

Toyfare 157 leads into San Diego Comic-Con, and it’s due to hit news stands next week. It will feature new figures from Hasbro and Mattel, and thanks to a subscriber who got his issue early, we’ve got the rundown for you.
Hasbro Marvel Universe
The fifth and sixth series of Marvel Universe for 2010 have been revealed by online retailers who posted pre-orders, but you’ll get some nice closeup pics of some of them in Toyfare. In series 5, you’ve got a Team X Wolverine who looks like a revisit to the 90’s Toy Biz Spy Wolverine, a classic Mystique, and Madrox the Multiple Man. Madrox is sporting his duds from the Ultimate Universe, but without his trenchcoat.
From series 6, there’s Hawkeye (Bullseye, spoiler!) from the Dark Avengers, a classic Constrictor, and Thanos. It looks like Thanos is not wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.
A couple of weeks ago, HasbroToyShop.com started selling their Marvel Universe Wave 8 figures online, it was a quick sellout, and I missed it. I was really looking forward to this wave, as some of the figures included in this wave have some nice, unique sculpts and upgraded articulation. So as soon as they re-listed the figures on the site, I didn’t hesitate to pick these guys up. I managed to pick up Juggernaut, the A.I.M. Soldier, and Colossus, which are the figures I was most excited about (the other figures of this wave are Archangel, Havok and Shadowcat). So what was all my excitement about? Let’s find out!
