Hi all,
I know it's last minute, but in less than 12 hours I'll be heading to NYC for a Hasbro sneak peek at their upcoming Marvel merchandise. If anyone has any questions they'd like answered post them here. |

Who will be paired with the Fan Choice 2-packs?
Will the 6" Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man prototypes be released this year?
When will you make Mysterio and Black Cat figures for the Spectacular Spider-Man line?
When will you make Marvel Legends versions of Sauron, Jubilee, Silver Samurai, Multiple Man, classic Sunfire, Polaris, Typhoid Mary, and Titania?
Are you considering any website exclusive Marvel Legends?
Why can Mattel can produce a several waves of 6" DC Universe figures with plenty of obscure characters but you can't put out 6" Marvel Legends figures on a regular basis? Edited by EvilMonkeyPope - 13-Feb-2010 at 3:42am |

Why do you make awesome prototypes and then not release them?
Why is it we get tonnes of Marvel universe toys and next to no marvel legends?

Marvel Legends is just about over with IMO. MU 3.75 figure sales have exceeded Hasbro's expectations and it seems that will be their focus in the future. I'm sorry for the 6" fans, but I had to go through the same disappointment when they stopped making 5" figures in favor for the Legends. All toy lines come to an end and you adapt or you quit collecting. Scale always comes and goes in cycles...one day, larger will be preferable again. I'm actually enjoying the MU line as it doesn't take up much of my limited display area.
I want to see pics of any Marvel related action figures. Legends and MU.
Particularly MU Colossus as the Wolverine:Origins & Wolvie & the X-Men versions sucked.
Also Juggernaut, Punk Storm (of course), & Nightcrawler

Toy Biz was able to produce 6" Marvel legends, 3.75" Supherhero showdown, and 12" Icons. Hasbro has much more resources than Toy Biz. They should be able to cater to fans of all scales. If Mattel can do 3.75" scale and 6" figures continuously, there's no excuse for Hasbro not to aside from being cheap and lazy.
If you see Diamond Select Toys, ask them why they felt the world needed another specialty market 7" Spidey. Do they have any plans to go back to make making more unique large characters like Sauron and Titania?

We're talking Hasbro, though. They're odd. For example, Have you noticed how petrified they are to do female figures? The MU line has made 70+ figs and only 5 have been female so far. They still think boys won't buy girls...but collectors do and only if they're pretty. All the other companies seem to have figured this out except for Hasbro.

Don't know if you left yet, but if not:
When are the ML to be released (the ones we heard about on here in July 2009--Black Widow, Valkyrie, White Phoenix, Etc)
2) What new releases are in the works AND RELEASE DATES, please!
3) Any plans for characters not previously released such as Shadow King, Silver Sable, Titania, Thor Girl, She-Thing, Thundra, all the Lady She-Hulks and the Watcher?!?
Thank you!

I was holding off on relaying this until Milleniumcyke got back to us, but it's been 13 days. So without further ado, the ML 2-packs will be ...
SPOILERS
Black Widow & Winter Soldier
Deadpool & Warpath
Valkyrie & Ed McGuiness Hulk

Excellent!
Do you know when they will be released? Will they be available at toy stores/outlets or only specialty shops? Any word on other new releases?
Thanks.

They're supposed to be at TRU and comic shops in the fall. I only want Natasha and Brunhilde so I'll be getting them via ebay.
Any replies to our inquiries yet, Milleniumcyke?

Do you know if any of these have been released yet??? I am particularly interested in White Phoenix, Valkyrie and Natasha BW.
I never saw them at that terrible DCBS that I used to attend, but that doesn't mean they weren't released.
Any help on when they were released, or if not, just when they will be released in 2011 is most appreciated.
