Marvel Universe Secret Wars Two-Packs – Wave 1 – loose

Marvel Universe Secret Wars Wave 1 - Thunderball, Spider-Man, Klaw, Captain America, Wolverine, and Human Torch

A couple of days before leaving for San Diego Comic-Con, our friends on the Hasbro Marvel team sent me the prize packs for the Marvel Universe Covers Contest (announcement | entries). Included was a set of wave 1 of the Marvel Universe Secret Wars line. I took pics of the packaged figures, but it’s been such sweet torture, having them in hand but not being able to open them.

When I got back home, I went food shopping with my wife. Instead of stopping in the store with her, I went to the local mom and pop toy store around the corner, and I was psyched to find these figures on the shelves. Thank you, Talbots Toyland!

Marvel Universe Exclusive Nick Fury

I’m still recovering from San Diego Comic-Con, but I need to get caught up. There’s a bunch of Con exclusives that I want to take pics of and add to the collection here, but those will have to wait. When I got back home, Nick Fury was waiting for me. He’s the exclusive Marvel Universe figure that you get if you sign up for a Marvel Digital Comics subscription. It’s been a long time since I participated in an exclusive promotion like this, so I couldn’t wait to dive in.

San Diego Comic-Con Hasbro Marvel Pics

It’s late (I forgot that I shouldn’t wait in lines on Preview Night – thank you for reminding me, Mattel!), so I’ll be brief with my comments. Hasbro’s Marvel display had a lot to be excited about.

Update: Added the ML 2-Packs and and a few more pictures in most categories.

Marvel Legends 2-Packs – If the current wave of 2-packs sells, we should see white Ninja / Dum Dum Dugan, Sharon Carter / Stealth Iron Man, and Invisible Woman / Human Torch 2-packs hitting retail.

Marvel Legends Fan Choice – Wow. Eclectic choices. Good looking figures that leverage lots of existing parts. This will be a tough vote for the Fan Choice poll.

Marvel Universe Secret Wars Two-Packs – Wave 1 – carded

I hope you folks appreciate this. Instead of helping my wife pack for our trip to San Diego (Comic-Con woooo!) I am taking pictures and posting. She’s getting mad! That’s not supposed to start until Comic-Con! (For clarity, I mean all three things – the pictures, the posting, and the getting mad! :D)

Here’s a close look at the first wave of carded figures from Hasbro’s upcoming Marvel Universe Secret Wars comic packs. First, the fronts:

Captain America and Klaw, with Secret Wars #1
Wolverine and Human Torch, with Secret Wars #2
Spider-Man and Thunderball, with Secret Wars #3

The numbering is based on what issue of the comic will be included as the pack-in. Many people have pointed out that the characters included in the two-packs aren’t necessarily linked to the comic pack-in. I’m sure that very clever people will figure out a how to pick figures according to issue number, but I’m guessing that for making each wave balanced with heavy hitters, this was probably too hard to optimize for sales.
