New York Comic Con 2011 – Hasbro Marvel Legends

Marvel Legends (37) (1280x719).jpg

New York Comic Con opened its doors last night for Preview Night for 4-day ticket holders, press, and professionals. And right at the entrance I found Hasbro’s booth – and it is pretty massive for the their first time at NYCC. I know there were some folks who were disappointed that during Hasbro’s own preview night, they showed Avengers movie figures in the 6-inch scale. But fret no more – Hasbro showed another full wave of Marvel Legends in their display booth.

A few weeks ago, I posted pics of the Marvel Universe 2011 Wave 2 (or Wave 13) Gladiator and Cable. As promised, here are pics of Cyclops and Apocalypse, the other figures from that wave, minus First Appearance Wolverine.

Marvel Universe 2011 Wave 2 Gladiator and Cable

I’ve been excited about this wave (MU 2011 Wave 2 or as others call it, Wave 13) ever since I saw the preview pics from Hasbro, mostly because this wave introduces the new fully articulated Cyclops body (I’ll have pics of him in the 2nd installment!) and an equally nicely articulated Cable. I managed to pick up Cable, Gladiator, Apocalypse and Cyclops so I thought I’d go ahead and share some pics!

Note: Pardon the lack of in-package pics, I ripped them off the package as soon as I got home!

Onto the pics!!

Marvel Universe Giant-Size X-Men Quick Pics

MU GS X-Men 004.JPG

To spread some more Marvel love, here are some Quick Pics of the newly released Marvel Universe Giant-Size X-Men set!

For those who want to know the particulars, I picked up this set at my local TRU for the sum of $34.99 plus tax. The set is actually for Ron who is having a hard time finding it out on the Left Coast. I normally shun the 4″ Devil and all his tiny works but for a good friend like Ron, I risked the chance of falling victim to the allure of MU.

Marvel Select Gambit Packaged Pics

I am not a Gambit fan. He was introduced in X-Men during the explosion in comics “investing” – let’s face it – there weren’t a lot of good comic books or comic book characters that came out of that period in the early 90’s. That said, there’s something about these figures that capture the douchebaggery that I envision when it comes to Gambit. I suppose that’s probably a positive for the Gambit fans out there.

Get Ready for the Gambit Marvel Select Figure

Here it is, the newest Marvel Select Figure: Gambit! Available as the regular edition or a variant long hair version. This figure features Marvel Select’s standard 16 points of articulation, as well as multiple hands and accessories.  Gambit comes with a similarly themed Danger Room base to our Cyclops figure, allowing collectors to create a mini diorama! Look for it at a specialty store near you!
