New York Comic Con 2011 – Hasbro Preview Night Marvel Legends

Hasbro Preview Night - Marvel Legends Group 1 (1280x853).jpg

Hasbro decided to mark their first appearance at New York Comic Con with a special preview night, organized quite ably by Hunter PR and held at the very posh Yotel. You might recall a few years back, the Hasbro Marvel team held a similar event at San Diego Comic-Con, when they had first picked up the Marvel license – with all the brands (Transformers, Star Wars, GI Joe, Marvel, and KRE-O) participating, this seemed like an even grander affair.

But we weren’t there for food and drink – we first headed to the first room we saw marked Marvel, and found some movie Marvel Legends.

New York Comic-Con 2011 – Diamond Select Toys Minimates Giveaways

With The Walking Dead set to return to AMC this Sunday, and Halloween around the corner, it looks like zombies are going to have a strong showing at New York Comic Con. Diamond Select Toys is on that bandwagon with a Maximum Zombies Minimates 2-pack and a Zombie civilian Minimates giveaway. And if you can’t get enough Minimate zombies, check out the Zombie decal kit from Luke’s Toy Store – Luke was years ahead of the zombie bandwagon when he came up with an easy way to create a Minimates zombie army.

DST is also giving away a very limited number of Minimates from their MAX line – just more victims for the zombie horde, I’m afraid.

Square Enix’s Play Arts Kai line of action figures is one of the reasons I buy lottery tickets. I bought the Red and Blue Spartan exclusives at San Diego Comic-Con and it looks like I’ll be picking up one of these bad boys too.

Hopefully the guys at the booth will have more info on their Arkham Asylum figures too.

New York Comic Con 2011 – Compound Hulk Marvel Universe Exclusive

Hasbro is making its first appearance at New York Comic Con this year, and kudos to them for not rehashing the exclusives they offered at San Diego Comic-Con. Sure, we are hoping for the day that they melt down the molds for this Hulk, but it’s a decent repaint for a show exclusive, and the Impossible Man insert is cool. Transformers fans will be able to pick up a Nerf gun and Cuponk game exclusives.

We’ll be getting a preview tonight of what they’ll have on the floor, and I’m really looking forward to the Hasbro Marvel panel on Saturday night. Stay tuned for more!
