Hasbro Marvel Panel Notes from Toy Fair 2015

[jedirulz123]

We need a closer look at that Infinite Ant Man, it might well be a pretty good figure.

no word on the comic guardians or the 3.75 Gamora and captain Marvel?

There was also an announced 6" Misty Knight

Hehe, the guys at the con didn't know who she was.

[CMIII]

Wow Jamison. A Civilian character that is not a hero in non-Costume thats pretty cool. Mattel would never do that.

[Satam]

No classic Venom again. *sigh*

[ukmu]

Any word Joe on the new 3.75" waves? Have you seen the booth? Can you tell us if that is Emma Frost on display or a white version of the Vision along with the MU/MI 3.75" stuff along the wall?

[todigandbedug]

Hey, UKMU, what is listed as "Marvel Legends Spider-Man Wv1" is incorrect, and is actually the MI wave: Scarlet Spider, Chameleon, Gold Ultron, Deadpool (Blue/Yellow), Emma Frost

[StaticShin27]

I'm gonna bet Marvel Now Iron Man is a retooled movie mk4. And please let that be a new deadpool sculpt.

Some thoughts...

Was saddened to not see Rogue, Silk, or Spider Gwen on this list. White Tiger? Awesome. But which version? Animated or Comic?

A JJJ figure? Sweet. I'm all up for non Super Hero figures to fill out a line. Seriously. Gives me hope we might see more non super-hero figures/alter egos in the Spidey line in general such as Mary Jane, Gwen Stacy, Aunt May, Anna Maria, Felicia Hardy and so on...

Superior Venom? Yuck. How about a decent classic Venom Hasbro? One with an interchangeable Brock head and some different hands? It's a simple repaint of Toxin/Anti-Venom for crying out loud. And while we're at it...a new Doc Ock would be nice. BAF somewhere down the line perhaps?

From the description of things with the Spidey line...it looks like swap figures are back. Ugh...Just shoot me. Deadpool and Emma frost also seem really out of place with that line. They should drop either one of them and replace them with the Blade figure we never got. (Edit...oh...so Emma and DP are from the MU line...okay...that makes more sense. Although, we just got a Ghost Rider and a Scarlet Spider not all that long ago. Unless GR comes with his bike...drop him for Blade!!!)

Not surprised, but saddened still that even with a new movie coming to theaters, no Fantastic Four figures are on the horizon. They wouldn't have had to even been based off the movie, just an updated comic series (like what they did with the X-Men Jubilee wave.) Way to support there Marvel.

Actually excited about that AOU Movie Legends Pack. I missed out on Hawkeye and Movie Thor the first time around, and the Banner figure (Yes! More non-super heroes/alter egos!) sounds awesome.

Thank you 2dig&Bdug

Our crew is in line waiting to be let into the auditorium for pics.

Blue and yellow Deadpool, really? This right after hearing about the lack of any real Ultron legends figure. What the f### Hasbro?!

Marvel Infinite Spider-Man Wv1 3.75″ – Scarlet Spider, Chameleon, Gold Ultron, Deadpool (Blue/Yellow), Emma Frost

What happened to switching to X-Men for the Infinite line? I mean, that wave has 2 X-related characters in it and we all know the packaging doesn't mean that much as far as who is selected.

I'm excited for that list but I want to see some pictures and the articulation. I would hope that Emma and Deadpool have proper articulation since they already have molds for them.

Pretty sure I just read there are two Ultron Legends on the horizon. Movie version is the BAF for the Ant-man wave and comic version is in an exclusive 3-pack.

I don't think this was ever explicitly stated by Hasbro, just a rumor that blew up.

It's a cheap move. They know Pool will fly off the shelves. Scalpers will buy him up & put on eBay like crazy. Honestly blue yellow pool is stupid. I'd rather see the Marvel girl x-men costume or blue and yellowwith red mask. An X-Force repaint of the Taskmaster comic pack Pool would have been best.

Don't understand why there is no Spider-Gwen legends figure on the way. That character is getting pretty hot atm.

Hasbro has said it takes a good chunk of time for a figure to go from concept to reality. I could see her being in a Spider-man wave in 2016.

No, that was direct from the mouth of Hasbro at the panel when MI was announced. They also said it would be an Avengers line the first year and it seemed the whole point was cashing on the Avengers name. Then the packing was shown later and it didn't say Avengers lol. At retail the SKU still say AVN Infinite series 3.75 in many cases. Clearly things changed so I assumed there would no need for new packaging at all.

Non-Hero Civilians is something a lot would buy. If DCUC had done a wave that was Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Vicky Vale, Amanda Waller, Morgan Edge, Suited Lex Luthor they would have flown off the shelves with collectors

Agreed...while I'm sure it won't fly off of TRU shelves, can you imagine what kind of excitement an exclusive wave (let's say Previews or Entertainment Earth as an example) of civilian/alter ego Spidey figures would garner? Imagine a wave with...

- Peter Parker
- Norman Osborne
- Gwen Stacy
- Mary Jane Watson
- Miles Morales
- The Burglar (Uncle Ben's killer)
- Anna Maria Marconi
- Flash Thompson (With removable limbs and wheelchair, so you can do pre or post Agent Venom)

Throw in BAF parts to give us a brand new Otto Octavius/Doc Ock, and I'd buy every damn one of them in a second.

[A Friend]

Very pleased to hear that we're getting a movie Banner. I've got tonnes of Hulk figures but not a single Banner. I wouldn't be surprised if it came with a couple of different heads, one with a fairly normal look and the other a little more tense with green eyes. Not got a movie Thor or Hawkeye either so that set's pretty much a must for me!

[redfox]

I hope we get a peek at all of those exclusives. So many goodies.
