Marvel Universe Nick Fury First Look – TheFwoosh.com

Pablolobo at TheFwoosh.com has acquired an early figure of the Marvel Universe Nick Fury exclusive figure. Upon closer examination, it looks to use the Daredevil / Bullseye body from Marvel Universe wave one. Don’t be taken aback by how the mouth is sculpted – it’s shaped that way so you can give Fury a cigar.

Normally I avoid those ebay auctions where a figure falls out the back of a truck in China. But for some reason I felt the need to take a chance on a auction for the upcoming Marvel Universe Nick Fury. Without further ado I give the first look.

Marvel Universe Nick Fury Exclusive Offer Goes Live

The Nick Fury offer went live, at http://marvel.com/digitalcomics/nickfury, and it was just as described by Fwooshers who got some of the first figures of Marvel Universe wave 4. There are some rumors right now that this will not be the only way to get our favorite cigar-chomping SHIELD agent – but nothing that I’ve heard directly, so take that with a grain of salt.

AFP’s Ask Matty Round-Up for 6/1/9

Here’s the latest round of Q&A with Mattel. Thanks again to Toy Guru!

1. With the upcoming DC Universe Classics 2-pack of Alexander Luthor and Ultraman, Mattel is showing that they can go pretty deep in terms of character selection. What are some of the DC team’s favorite characters that you think may never be able to make it into the line for whatever reason? Hopefully Jonah Hex isn’t on that list!

We are hoping to get to both obscure and A-list characters in time. If there is fan demand, the sky’s the limit.
