We’ve got a ton more pictures of the all of the Hasbro Marvel figures – we already posted the Marvel Legends pics, and still have Marvel Universe and Iron Man to go. But it’s late, so here’s a little video to whet your appetites. In it, you’ll see the Marvel Universe singles, comic 2-packs, and the Marvel Legends 2-packs. Enjoy!

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Mattel DC Universe Classics
San Diego Comic-Con’s Preview Night seems to be just as crowded as a weekend at the Con, but we took time to admire the DC Universe Classics figures on display. The showcase was a diorama of the Hall of Justice, with the heroes on the right and the villains on the left.
In the display area, they had four groups of figures on display:
- DC Universe Classics Wave 14
- DC Universe Classics Wave 15
- The Green Lantern 5-Pack and Kyle Rayner
- All-Star Repaints

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Hasbro Marvel Legends
San Diego Comic-Con is just getting started with Preview Night, but I thought you might appreciate an update about the Hasbro Marvel Legends 2-Packs. The Marvel brand team from Hasbro were typically coy about anything past the current line-up of 2-packs. Here’s what we did learn:
- Pairings remain the same: Black Widow and Winter Soldier, Deadpool and Warpath, and Valkyrie and Hulk
- There will be variant 2-packs for Black Widow (gray suit and short hair) / Winter Soldier (long hair) and Deadpool (X-Men redeco) / Warpath (Uncanny X-Men redeco)
- These are due on shelves in October and will be exclusive to Toys R Us.

San Diego Comic-Con Most Wanted – SamuRon
Wow, is it that time already? The biggest pop culture event of the year is upon us, and I’m just not ready for it.
Thankfully, the rest of the guys have already covered the bulk of my Most Wanted list, so check out their pre-game shows: Buzzy, Sandman, and Talyn. Here’s some of the upcoming toy lines from my favorite toy companies that somehow didn’t already get mentioned:
DC Universe Mez-Itz (Mezco)
As far as I’m concerned, there’s been a hole in the urban vinyl category shaped like a big “DC” – ever since Hasbro took vinyl and brought it to mass market as Mighty Muggs for its Marvel, Star Wars, GI Joe, and Transformers licenses, I’ve been waiting for DC to follow suit. I thought last year we might get a line from Mattel – they had some protos on display for Masters of the Universe and others that never made it to toy shelves. And DC Direct’s Blammoids made it to comic book stores but just aren’t my cup of tea.
With DC going with Mez-Itz, I think we’ve finally got a chance for DC urban vinyl for mass market. Mez-Itz has a very pleasing form factor that’s scale compatible with Mighty Muggs. And they’ve got those ball-jointed necks, that make them a superior offering. I can’t wait to pick up the Batman / Joker exclusive, and see what else Mezco has planned.
