Is anyone else slightly disappointed in the con exclusives? the Taco truck and OML are cool no question, but in the past it seems we got a lot more, masterworks, a lot of consistently MU style packaging, and obscure figures, not just the same awesome, if extremely overplayed characters. I don't know maybe the shat news just has me butt hurt, but I'm feeling we got stiffed.

I also bought an OML off eBay last night for around the same price as you. As for where they'll end up? Not really sure. They only made 3,000 I believe and I'm sure they sold a bunch of them at SDCC as eBay can attest. I can't imagine them going anywhere besides being a digital sub promo figure or to HTS like Archy, Doomy and Nicky.

I'm not sure if I feel stiffed or just disappointed. I do think most of the Hasbro exclusives fell a little short this year though. That's not to say there's not some cool figures that came about, but to me there didn't seem like there was a lot of feeling behind it. Metroplex - we're getting a retail version of this figure very soon. Shockwave's lab - we already have a retail version of this figure. No single carded Joe figures this year?? The Joe/TF pack is cool, but didn't even make it to HTS. (Possibly because of the lawsuit or did they completely sell out?) Deadpool - neat idea and the corps figures look cool and they are obscure, but we already have what 3 versions of Deadpool? It would have made more sense doing this when the movie comes out.

And I do understand that releasing the same or similar figures is common practice (Bruticus, Thor Ages of Thunder, Cap, etc...), but I think I would rather have seen a 3.75" Stan Lee or Jarvis or Aunt May/Uncle Ben action (inaction?) figures instead. Or something else obscure that wouldn't do as well at retail. I would rather Old Man Logan had been the MU single carded exclusive this year and not had it be the subscription figure which had no purchasing limit.

So despite my rant I really do appreciate what we got this year. Something is definitely better than nothing and I'm excited to be getting the Deadpool Corps and a packaged OML.

That sucks. I already had myself believing they wouldn't be released today, but I was still checking periodically through the afternoon. Then bam there they were! Caught me off guard too, but I was able to get what I wanted. Sorry you missed out.

Eh. I already bought the rest of the Corp from our friends in China and I just wanted to complete the set (and probably sell my doubles hella cheap). I'll get 'em eventually.

Plus, as much as I love me action figures, family shit's important ^^

I'm def getting the new one and even returned my old one for store credit at TRU...You can only have so many Spider-Man in the CP's...

I agree with you a bit too, but at the same time my wallet is very happy that's all they really had considering the drop at HTS I did this afternoon...

No problem kylactus. It's just the unhelmeted juggy from the collossas 2 pack (saw it peg warming so I could pick one up for anyone) with a helmet from vortious customs. I'll have to give it a brown wash. I'll probably pick up the old man logan head sculpt from him too, can't bring myself to pay $50 for OML on eBay for another wolverine, but considering it.

Agree 100%. Already have xmow deadpool and xforce deadpool, but still want lady deadpool etc. may just buy her on eBay unless someone can hook up a newbie arker with the deadpool corps. Lots of stuff I could trade or just good ole cash.
One more juggy for ya kylactus.

Totally missed seeing this newer Grey Hulk in the toyark articles. Maybe it just wasn't there. I like it, even tho all these remakes and repaints are killer on a wannabe completionist like me :P. At least its the newer Hulk mold.

Thanks for the pics!!
I still prefer the general look of the old one so I won't buy the junior version.

Yes, family should always come first. Even if they get in the way sometimes! Lol

That's legit? Wow cool, need that one, and they should do the Red Hulk as well.

[ProfessorHov]

Did the comic con stuff on hts just go on sale and sell out on swear its been saying out of stock all day. I think I saw it wrong or my eyes are playing tricks

Wasn't that what we got in that Heroic Age box set?

[boombatty]

Same mold used for all 4 and with the POA are a POS the sculpt is very good.

I bring yout Iron Patriot, Iron Man Red Gold, Iron Man Gold Red and Iron Man Ghost(or whatever they call him).

Yes but I don't want to drop 25 on getting another IM and Thor:P I figure they'll release him as a single down the road...

Yeah I do love the sculpt. I'm hoping it won't be too hard to score that Hall of Armor box set for the better articulated Mark 42 and the Tony.

Don't be surprised if he does come out that way. There's a Red Hulk in an upcoming revision wave that's being labeled as a new wave. I think they MIGHT be upgrades/repaints like the recent Iron Fist & Black Spider-Man. So maybe it'll be the new Hulk body this time.

Don't worry about it, it's Amazon so there will be plenty and it should be a good price.

2013 SDCC: Hasbro/Marvel Panel - - MarvelousNews.com

part i thought was interesting
"if sales are good into 2014 for Marvel Universe we could see things like that Devil Dinosaur seen in Hasbro's diorama case be made."

really talk about obscure when so many more main stream characters arent made yet

lol, no kidding. its really a sore point when trying to form a sinister six team when sandman and vulture are on virtually every incarnation

[wylde bil]

please notice they made a doom head without the cloak (lower right hand corner)

[wylde bil]

other than purple man, doom is written on the plan as well as the D on the fin

they should be releasing this stuff
