Hasbro Marvel Diorama (2 of 12)

SDCC 2013: Hasbro Marvel Universe (Preview Night)

Hasbro Marvel Universe (1 of 9)

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.

If You Like Superhero Movies, Check Out This Movie Poster Sale at Tanga

Tanga is calling this a “Framed Superhero Movie Poster Liquidation” but that’s underselling the cool factor. They’re over half off retail price, and they are framed and ready to hang – no more push pins and ruined posters for you. With the non-glare plexiglass, these will be a respectable addition to your man-cave that even your significant other can’t complain about – not legitimately, anyways.

And best of all, the sale is agnostic to Marvel (Spider-Man, Iron Man, Avengers, Thor, Hulk, Wolverine, and the Fantastic Four) and DC (Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern) and even includes posters from classic movies like Flash Gordon.

With a custom frame built just for your new poster, ready to hang, complete any movie room, office, or bedroom with these classic and timeless posters! Using a special non glare Plexiglass, your poster will look its best from any angle even in highly lit areas!

Pre-Order Marvel Select Thor and Jane Foster from Thor: The Dark World at TFAW.com

Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman in Thor The Dark World

I know that Diamond Select Toys must have solicited the Marvel Select figures from Thor: The Dark World a while back, but I just saw them listed on the Things From Another World website. And it turns out they’ve got the lowest prices I’ve seen for pre-ordering them. At $19.99 each, they are lower by a fair amount than I’ve seen them on other e-tailers, including Amazon, with the Marvel Select Thor figures from the Dark World at $24.99 each.

These should arrive in late September. Thor: The Dark World opens in the US on November 8.
