Marvel Hasbro panel is at 4 pm Pacific time, I plan on live tweeting news as its revealed on my twitter account, Peteparker.

I'll have to miss a press panel for Iron Man 3 to be therefor the whole thing...

I don't mean to "sound like a broken record" about the issue of articulation...but I'm really hoping that awesome looking Elektra will have bicep swivels (or pin-post elbows) on the final release because if she can't accurately do the "crossed sai's pose" then I'm gonna be a little disappointed...

But due to logistics issues, specifically that they ran out of UPC codes and had to switch to a new prefix, the delay was much longer than they expected. Apparently the retailers didn't understand what was changing, and were ready to purge the old codes from their databases before Hasbro caught it. Much of the delay at this point has been due to the reexplaining of the situation between the distributors and the retailers.

He went on to assure me multiple times that David Vonner left them so far ahead in the MU department that they have more than enough new figures to last until the end of 2013, if not beyond. Both Dwight and another independent Hasbro painter assured me that MU isn't going anywhere.

Dwight was really excited about their new Legends ideas, so it was bait difficult to keep them talking about MU, especially when most of that work has been long done.

Nice....! Thanks for the info bro.....Can't wait till next month....Wife is going to want to divorce me..lol!

I love the Electra but has anyone noticed that her hands are sculpted to fit her sai's but they couldn't even be bother to put the weapon all the way in her hand let alone the right way. Lazy. If I were posing these figs they would look so much more bad ass.

Yeah that would be SICK

top 5 MU wants for me right now (after current SDCC showing) are:

ARES
Fantomex
Abomination
Emma Frost
Omega Red

decepticon_mark · 07-14-2012, 02:04 PM

Yes, they're all TRU exclusive comic paks. Me I WANT Abomination to be shown personally.

bmorr · 07-14-2012, 02:04 PM

i could only imagine if they hired one of us to do these displays, most of us would do it for free and it would be epic.

Any obscure Avengers would be more than appreciated at the reveal, and if by some miracle they release Jack of Hearts, ill go bonkers.

Jimmyo · 07-14-2012, 02:07 PM

Abomination and Omega Red would be amazing
