SDCC 2013: Hasbro Marvel Universe (Preview Night)

With the return of Marvel Legends, Hasbro’s 4-inch Marvel Universe line has slowed down a little bit. It’s understandable – collectors who had no outlet for their Marvel appetites had adopted the line, but with 6-inches back in force, some old-timers who had bought in wholesale to Universe are back to cherry-picking, or back solely on the Legends line.

On Preview Night, Hasbro had the next wave of Universe on display, as well as the current Wolverine 4-inch line. They also revealed 4-inchers for the upcoming Thor movie.

SDCC 2013: Hasbro Marvel Diorama

Every year, Hasbro shows off its products and some pretty amazing customs within a huge diorama. Here’s some pictures of this year’s display. Don’t miss a Marvel Legends Ultron custom, built off of the one we got in the Iron Man line, that I think would have silenced many of the folks who complained about the figure we got (due to some budgetary constraints for the line.)

Watch Marvel Super Heroes: What The–?! Ep. 21 Wolverine: Partial Recall

Speaking of summer blockbusters, The Wolverine opens July 26. And while I can’t forgive 20th Century Fox for damaging the franchise with the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie and killing any hope for a Ryan Reynolds Deadpool movie, I’m even more concerned about what they might do to ruin the classic Claremont / Miller comics collaboration that still holds up over 30 years later.

Putting all that aside, one thing we can all look forward to is a Wolverine action figure send-up from the MSH: What The–?! crew at Marvel. They haven’t released one yet for the upcoming movie, but this one’s an oldie but goodie from a couple years back. Enjoy!
