Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Mutants

This week, I noticed a lot of auctions for Marvel Legends customs of Marvel’s mutants. Some are glaring omissions in the line while some are updates with new looks – what’s clear is that beyond the Wolverine Legends line that was introduced at Toy Fair, there’s an untapped demand that Hasbro could satisfy with more children of the atom.

Marvel Legends Gladiator by Cal – alright, so maybe Gladiator from the Shi’ar Empire isn’t actually a mutant, but since he has played a big supporting role in many of the best X-Men stories, I think he counts – what do you think of the Hyperion / Sentry base for him? – ends Mar 20, 2013 18:10:02 PDT

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by! (A power outage at our host delayed the publishing of this week’s edition.)

Marvel Select Wolverine Press Pics and Video

I’d been looking for additional shots of the Marvel Select Wolverine figure after seeing a composite in the latest BBTS sponsored news post, and found them, and a short video clip, on Diamond Comic Distributors pseudo-news site, Toy Chest News. This figure should reach shelves in late August, about a month after the movie opens on July 26.

Marvel.com Reveals the Marvel Select Wolverine Movie Figure

Hagop and I got an early look at this Wolverine figure when we saw the upcoming Marvel Select figures at Toy Fair. Of course, photos were not allowed. Seeing this in person, my first impression was that the figure had a pretty good likeness for Hugh Jackman. This is a nice figure from Diamond Select Toys, but I think it needs more hair. (Add this to the list of odd statements I’ve had to make for the sake of my toy hobby.)

Wolverine Marvel Select Figure Premiere

Diamond Select Toys unveils the new Marvel Select Wolverine figure!

“Marvel’s The Avengers.” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” “The Amazing Spider-Man.” The Marvel cinematic universe is a constant source of great characters and costumes for the Marvel Select action figure line from Diamond Select Toys. This year, three films based in the Marvel Universe will make it into Select form. While all three films are highly anticipated, one has been shrouded in secrecy, leaving fans to only guess at what toys the film might bring. But now DST has unveiled their newest Select figure, for 20th Century Fox’s “The Wolverine!”

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, “The Wolverine” finds Logan, the eternal warrior and outsider, in Japan. There, samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed. This seven-inch action figure, due out this fall, depicts Wolverine in a look straight out of the film and features 16 points of articulation as well as interchangeable hands and heads, sculpted by Gentle Giant! The figure comes with a detailed display base in display-ready Select packaging, with the movie art on the shelf reference panel. Visit http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/ for more.

Pre-order from your local comic shop or your favorite online specialty toy store!
