With the apparent success of the Marvel Universe 3.75" line, can we expect to see vehicles such as Punisher's Van?

Okay,
1. The marvel universe is quite vast yet it seems that the more unpopular characters are given the bench. Will we be able to see figures of the current Gaurdians of the Galaxy or how about giving the GREAT LAKES AVENGERS a chance? Flat Man would be an easy sculpt!! 2. So far I have really enjoyed this lines articulation but I am mainly dissapointed with The Punisher's upper torso and knees, Human Torche's ankles, The Hulk's ankles and head, and Ms.Marvel's bicep. I do not want to be a stick in the mud but can we please get these fixed? 3. Will The Hulk in the upcoming rumored comic 2-pack be a repaint of the single card? or will it be based off the Kirby Hulk? |

I am a fan more of the movie versions of these characters than the comics, could we see movie design figures made in this scale thru the MU line or could they show up in a seperate line like with the X-Men Orgins movie? Is it possible to go back and do previous movie characters in this scale like movie Blade, movie Punisher: War Zone, and movie Daredevil as well as the favorites like movie Spiderman and movie Fantastic Four just to name a few?

Why would the Secret Wars Hulk look like Kirby art? Kirby didn't draw Secret Wars.
1. With the MU Daredevil body being used so much, is there a chance you can give it a grasping left hand for accessories? 2. Since neither MU Union Jack or Moon Knight can hold both their accessories in their hands (due to the useless left hand), why release these figures before they can be given proper, useful hands? What was the rush to release them instead of other characters? 3. The Star Wars Q&As are very informative and will say if a specific character is likely or unlikely to happen in the next year. Why is the Marvel team so guarded with their answers? 4. The MU Classic Iron Man has the ideal colors for Iron Man and looks fantastic. Why was the ML 2pack Iron Man not given these same colors? He looks to be yellow instead of gold. 5. The MU 2packs seem like a great way to pair a hero up with a villain. The first six, if the rumored second wave characters choices hold true, only offer 4 villains instead of 6. Can we expect this same kind of ratio in the future? Will the villain quotient go up in future 2packs? |

I would like to see more figures per wave, like wave 1, with maybe 1 variant of another figure already out instead of 2 or 3 variants like in wave 5, will we see more new characters per wave?
Will the number of figures per wave increase as the toy line becomes more of a success? |

1. There has been a steady onslaught of characters released in 2009 for the MU line, 30 in total not counting the Secret Wars comic packs or exclusives. Due future plans include keeping the same amount of characters appearing each year, or will the number of characters released in the MU line grow or shrink?
2. It has already been stated that the MU line will focus solely on the comic book characters, but it is known that Marvel will be releasing several high-profile films in the coming years. Are there any lines being planned for these upcoming films in the 3 3/4 scale, similar to XMO:Wolverine and how closely does the MU development team work with the teams in charge of the movie lines? Will we see an expanded selection of characters from these films in their comic book interpretations, again, like with the XMO:Wolverine line (Cyclops, Sabretooth, Deadpool, etc.)? 3. If a character makes an appearance in a movie based line, take Cyclops from the XMO:Wolverine line as an example, then does that mean they are less likely to appear in the actual MU line? |

Let's make sure to get a thanks in for the new info on Marvel Legends and Nick Fury, but can we make sure to also ask that they reveal more info in the Q+As/online than through the shows that not everyone can make it to?
As far as I know, no one from Hasbro has oficially confirmed what we've heard 2nd or 3rd hand from Jesse Falcon from the conventions over the last couple of weeks. (That being that we're going to see 16-18 protos at SDCC, which will be voted on, and then the top 3 will be paired up with Hasbro's choices to make the next series of 2 packs.) Can we ask for official confirmation? ALSO, are these new 3 packs planned for wide release, or exclusive to someone? Any chance we can get an official list of the revised/updated figures that have been released so far (and will be released up to wave 5)? There is a Ronin variant that was mentioned during an interview on another site that we didn't know about or expect (as far as I know). Any updates on Hasbrotoyshop.com shipping outside of the U.S? Do they have any input on the Nemesis wave at retail, or is it completely in Walmart's hands now? Not to give anyone a hard time, or cause issues at all, but I'm just honestly curious how it happened that Canada recieved the series in Jan/Feb, they've been sighted in Asia recently, but (as of the last Q+A) they're still working on getting them to their customers here in the U.S.? Are Gigantic Battles staying exclusive to Walmart (assuming that the line continues past the first wave)? Any word on how Walmart's recently announced decision to reduce the size of their toy departments will affect their plans (will they produce items in ower quantities, will they reduce the number of various items that they will produce)? Do they expect other retailers to make similar reductions? Thanks in advance. |

1.One important question I think is, will they release the same characters in the same costume in the MU line as they have in The X-men: Wolverine Origins? I like what they did with Namor, making both costumes .
2.Is there any way they can somehow change something in a character when throwing them in a two pack or box set? Like maybe a different head or costume maybe. Theres tons of those. So far really good job Hasbro keep it up. |

Can you tell us how many figures, but not necessarily which ones, will be revealed at SDCC? Think of it as an appetizer

1. So far some of the heights of certain characters have been off per say. Black costume spidey is way too tall and of course so is Wolverine.The Hulks are not quite tall enough. I know a mold is made with the ability to re-use it for multiple uses, but will this be something that will be addressed?
2. Someone else mentioned this above, but will the release of certain figures in the MU be put off due to their release in the Wolverine Origin series? 3. Will the SDCC exclusives be available after the show online? and what will they retail for??? |

are there any chances of getting figures based on specific artist renditions (ie: ditko, romita, romita jr., or mcfarlane spidey, etc.) instead of the more universal designs? especially for figures that show up often in the line, having a new headsculpt would make the purchase an easier sell.
will the secret wars hulk be a new mold or a repaint? this would be a good spot for you to start more artist specific versions with a herb trimpe or sal buscema-style headsculpt! any news on unmasked options for heroes or villains? you know this would be your only chance to get something out with the patented osborne hairstyle! |

My picks so far, considering characters are probably off the tables for now till SDCC are:
1. Will we ever see interlocking bases or build your own bases sets maybe with a figures themself(jarvis, Homer, Professor X, etc, or even just repaints)? 2. About roughly how many female figures can we expect still to come this year? How many male? 3. Are the giant battles packs going to use repainted other line bodies, if so, which uses what? 4. Okay, I'm sneaking a character one in, will we see the likes of X-23, Nova Modern armor, or Darkhawk? 3 characters highly sought after and overlooked for years? Or the academy X or hellions crew? 5. Since it's been revealed that one of the last fan poll figures is male, is the other female? That's about all I can think of I'm curious about since SDCC will answer so much anyway. |

normally, i'm first in line for the kool aid, but i'm really starting to lose faith in toy ark and the lack of q & a answers.
i'd understand if there was a delay and someone came out and said, hey, there's a delay, the answers will be up soon. the silence is just disappointing. |

None of the other forums got any answers from Hasbro. It was too close to SDCC for any Q&A I think.
