While I agree something should have been done, it's a lot easier for Hasbro to do something like that with an in-house brand than it is for a licensed IP.

It kind of makes you wonder why Disney, who now owns two of Hasbro's biggest toy properties (Star Wars, and Marvel) plus countless other characters and movie properties doesn't start there own toy company. They certainly have the means to produce all this stuff in house like Marvel did with Toy Biz, then Disney's Marvel division could assert more direct control over
what gets produced. |

BBTS has given us an update on the MI 3.75 and it looks like Cyclops, Valykrie and Omega Red are in this assortment which is interesting. Could be the OR and Cyke be new molds or old ones from the previous MU that were thrown into this mix.

Woo hoo! Now that is a great case pack, I ordered the set of 6, cheaper than retail here. I thought about splitting a case with another arker, but it's easier to get the set now. I can get a good secret avengers team with these. Seems like everything but wasp and hulk peg warmed from wave 1. I bet this wave will directionally float off the shelves.

Just curious, who would everyone want to see play Apocalypse in a movie? the first person who pops into my mind is Laurence Fishburn (Morbious from the matrix).

Ya mean Morpheus (not the science-vampire). I would have liked for Michael Clarke Duncan to be Apocalypse, but unfortunately that won't happen. I can't say who should do it now, but there's a fair chance that whoever it is will be wrong to me. Apocalypse is my favorite villain, so either I'll hate the casting beyond reason or say they did well with what they could.

I think Keith David (HBO's Spawn) or Arnold Vosloo (the mummy franchise) could definitely be the voice of Apocalypse. Fishburne is too calm for me, which is why I really liked his voice for the silver surfer.

yeah lets go back to sitting silently....... that was fun......
soooo looking at the new deaths head figure, (and to draw the topic back in) that would be a hell of an Apocalypse buck. The one we have is cool, but he's a little bulky, I've always liked his earlier look (leaner and taller). |

Disney does make their own product, but only the stuff that's exclusive to Disney Parks and Disney Stores. It's done completely in house, and it's really high quality stuff as I said above. From what I understand most of the other stuff - the toys you find at Walmart, etc - is made either by Mattel or a separate division within Disney that deals with outside manufacturers called Disney Consumer Products.
