Heh, I think it's more of a question of how many they can reasonably fit on to the shelves at any one time without becoming their own competition.

But I'd be surprised if they answer this one directly.

lol, probably.

1. Is it possible to release more 3.75" scale comic accurate vehicles on these set?

2. And since the possibility of a build a Figure... Is it possible for a build-a-mansion or something like that playset... I really want an X-Mansion and the Avengers Mansion/Tower so the figures can be displayed with them, instant diorama lol I've seen good diorama made by riverspoon but not all of us have the same creativity.

Marvel has lots of super hero and super villain teams, but so far it's been hard for fans to collect a full team. Any chance of a harder push in the future to complete teams or to make it easier for fans to collect their favorite teams of heroes and villains?

*Will there be any official way for non-attendees to get the SDCC exclusive Ages of Thunder Thor?

*What is the reason for the many QC issues (flaking/scratched/thin/sloppy paint, stuck hips) with the first waves of IM2 figures, and what is being done to fix it in future waves? will Hasbro initiate a buy-back program to clear them off the shelves to make room for waves with better QC?

*Will there be a third wave of Handful of Heroes? How has the line performed compared to Hasbro's expectations?

probably disqualified, but I'd still like to know:
*When will the 4" IM2 Unmasked figures be appearing at retail?

*Will there be Pepper Potts or Tony Stark (both business suit & cave/car battery versions)? AIM soldier army builder?

*Are there plans to release a Gigantic Battles or Icons Sentinel? (please don't re-re-release the old ToyBiz 5" scale playset!)

Hasbro has been good about offering the exclusinve at HTS Monday morning.

Why would you want a AIM IM2 figure when there's one in MU this month?

They won't answer plans questions (same as "when will") but a Masterworks Sentinel was alluded to follow Galactus "if he sells well".

Interesting answers so far. Glad these are some questions that can get some longer responses. =D

[Robogeek28]

I'm excited by the fact more 6 inch exclusives will be hitting in the fall! Perhaps newer versions of the Marks I-III will be made as well as the older versions suck compared to the new figures.

2) Why aren't the Iron Man 2 armors painted with the same metallic red used on the Marvel Universe Iron Man armors?
A) Iron Man has many different suits throughout the movie and within Marvel comics. We like showing the breadth of his collection while inspiring our creative fan base.

A) Don't like the red we use? Do it yourself, you guys customize sh*t.

Thank you Hisstank, for the new female body question. Thank god they're finally going to give us another one. I'm betting it Elekta with more artic. Elektra's been found in the WM database.

This was a good round of answers. Only a couple of throwaway questions were given. Hasbro even anwere those with more tact than before.

I can't find any more sites with answers. Anybody find anything?

It was kind of a lame question in the first place. Like, who really wants to know why they didn't make them look shiny like the MU ones? They simply used a different style.

[eisen]

i hate whoever picked that shade of red for the movie figs.

With any luck it will be a more muscled up female mold since there are several characters a mold like that could be used for.

While I'd love for them to do a She Hulk figure, I'm guessing that mold couldn't be reused as much so they will go for a more reusable mold.

Still it's good news that the female heroes and villains will be getting more variety than just one mold.

The Marvel Universe line is promoted as a mainstream, broad-market product that is supported by major chains all over the country (Target, WalMart, K-Mart, etc.). Yet MU collectors all over the country are seeing "on the shelve" availabilty to be rare and infrequent, like that of a select, limited-production, collector's set. What is Hasbro doing to produce more of its products on the shelves, and with greater frequency?

Excellent question, I support this

[RedAlert Rescue]

I realise I missed the deadline but as someone who's only recently started collecting Marvel universe 3.75" figures as an adjunt to previous 3.75" Hasbro lines.

There's a few things that accure to me from an outside perspective.

1) Why on earth have an Iron Man figure line and pump out a lot of different Iron Man figures in Marvel Universe as well ?... even after the Movie sequel line Debued.

2) Why not hold off on X-Men characters to a small extent in the line and instead release them in the next 'X-Men Origins' figure line. there's plenty of figures from X-Men 1 to 3 and Wolverine and so on still that could be made.

3) There's a Spider-Man line they seem semi-comicish like the Marvel Legends so surely a lot of the Spider-Man items should be in that line.

4) Therefore it seems to me that the logical thing to do is not release any more X-Men, Spider-Man, or Iron Man figures (or indeed Thor) under the Legends line and instead bulk the line out with characters from other teams and with Individuals... and if possible make movie version of characters like the Punisher and Blade if licenses permit.
Since it's a little unlikely that there will be another Fanatasic Four movie imminently then they are something to use, as is the Mighty Avengers, Captain America, Hulk, Other X-team characters and villans... perhaps there's a legitimate reason to add some characters to the general line that otherwise might fit in the Movie lines - comic related subwaves if they are to obscure to warrant being in a movie toy line things like Emma Frost with Ice-Powers for example.

I'd like to see things like The Red Skull, or Skrulls or Firestar, Cloak & Daggger, Dazzler, or Ms Marvel in the Marvel Legends line.. things that otherwise don't really fit.

But Comic Deadpool and Gambit and Ice Man seemed popular choices in the wolverine line and I'd like to see Movie X-men figures dumped enmass into the next X-Men Origins figure line... all the staff that was previously made and more only now in 3.75" line.

But there's no reason why characters like The Beetle or the Absorbing Man or Sand Man various Symbiotes, The Scarlet Spider, Spider-Armour Spider-Man etc... shouldn't be in the Spider-Man line and only in the Spider-Man line.

5) Lastly I'd wonder about the legality and general likelyhood of Circuit Breaker and Deaths Head being made since they cross the border between Marvel Comics and Transformers they are both legitimate characters to put in the Marvel Legends line - heck Deaths Head II would make and Ideal 3.75" figure and Deaths Head 1 and ideal 6" figure for reasons of scale.

You can't honestly tell me that more people want members the obscurer members of Alpha Flight before hand than want Deaths Head as I'd not believe you as he's of more interest as he's relevent to The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Doctor Who and Transformers.

Sure Marvel Managed to screw him up a bit later on but that does not mean he's more deserving that some of the more obscure Iron Man armours or characters that have Already been made. I'd put him well up the food chain from a character like Iron Fist or Wonder man, Cannonball, Thunderhawk or Hawkeye or the Falcon or indeed every miniscule costume change Wolverine's ever had.

Sure some of them are good if you want to complete a team and people will always have obscure favorites (I've always liked Moon Knight & the Black Panther for example).

But if Hasbro don't make Deaths head and continue to plunge into the ever more obscure that will only serve to annoy me.

I wish someone could collar them at a convention and specifically pester them about Death's Head.

Yeah their answer surprised me, I mean that wasn't a question pertaining to future releases nor compromising NDA's on upcoming media tie ins. It was just a question about paint apps, which are technically covered by the q/a quidelines as questions that can be addressed(deco).

In brighter news, I take it their 3rd answer implies either a 6" Marvel Legends New Captain America for 2011 to coincide with the movie and it's associated toyline AND one in the movie toyline, maybe a comic series subline like what we are seeing in the Iron Man 2 line.
