SDCC 2009 Marvel Panel - Live Coverage
 

Our Team at this year's San Diego Comic Convention will be bringing us even more tasty goodness today!

At 12:30 PST (3:30 EST), we'll be bringing you Live Coverage from the Marvel Panel!

Guest Include: Michelle Favaloro and Scott George (Hasbro Marketing), along with Joshua Lamb, Dave Vonner, Logan Lubera, and Dwight Stall (Hasbro Design)

They'll be presenting the latest toys from the Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, Marvel Universe, and Super Hero Squad toy lines from 2009. Also, see a sneak peek into the 2010 line!

Remember, coverage will be streamed live on the ToyArk front Page. No need to refresh!

The Panel has started, everyone! Check out the Front Page!

Did anyone ask about Nemesis' wide release?

i like how ppl applauded Legends. that should tell them something.

Seriously. By the looks of it, the Legends we get to vote on look like the best Hasbro has produced and better than the majority of the ToyBiz Legends. It sucks that they decide to limit the product so much once they finally master the line.

Images are up for your viewing pleasure!

What get on my nervous is that we got Jim Lee Jean Grey in MU ad SHS but not in ML, i got to laugh

Wow that Galactus is full of win. So much detail and size. Hopefully it won't break the bank. I can pose him with my 10 inch one. Juggernaut looks awesome as well, I just hope he's painted well.

Yes... both figures look great. I hope Juggernaut can actually move his legs like in the proto pic.

I thought they were supposed to reveal the other 2 Fans Choice picks?

anyone have the details on Galactus in terms of cost, or is it a store exclusive?

Holy crap! That Galactus is sweet!

I'll be sure to ask these questions of our team at SDCC and get back to you Gents shortly!

When the Panel first started one of the first bits to come through was a vague "Nemesis BAF wave is out" ... When anyone gets a chance can we get that statement expanded. "its been out and you will never see it BRUHAHAHAHA" , "we are out of the wave and youll never see it BRUAHAHAHA" or perhaps a " its out shipping now to warehouses and you should see it soon!YAY!"

2010 will be a great year for us. :D

I don't understand what Secret Wars is. Is it a 3.75" subline?

Marvel Legends look good. Are they single packs or two-packs?

yeah they should have seriously expanded on it

probably, in reality they should be $25 3 packs, with a letter to Legends fans saying "SOWWY bout the last bits, here ya go!"

The Secre Wars packs are throwbacks to the original Secret Wars toys and comic mini-series. Each two-pack comes with two characters based on their appearance in the comics at the time as well as with a reprint of an issue of the series.

It pretty much is a sub-line in the Marvel Universe toy series, just not part of the Fury Files series or next year's Hammer series.

I'm going to need more armory alcoves now.

And just wow, and we've only seen waves 1-2 for 2010?
COME ON DARKHAWK, NOVA PRIME, and X-FORCE X-23!

Warpath, Hawkeye, Bucky, the gigantic battle packs, Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, Dynamo, reed richards, ultron, Modern Thor, Ironman MK III, Extremis Ironman, Jetstream Ironman, Deep dive ironman, spiderwoman, and even colossus are all epicly awesome.

Now I just hope X-force X-23, Nova Prime, Darkhawk, Invisible Woman, Emma Frost, kitty pryde, captain britain, Spitfire, black cat, and Mockingbird, are scattered in the other waves. (at least a few I hope if not in the companion lines later. >_<)


Wasn't sunfire one of the fan choices? Or was that a different outfit?

And on Marvel Legends, I'd almost have considered getting an X-force pack, so now I'm saddened it may never get made. T_T

LOVE the idea of MUFF companion lines like XMO, Ironman, and Spiderman. Even the hammer stuff has me interested. If it's a dark reign focus, I wonder how many Dark Avengers we'll see. Since a few are part swaps and slight recolors away anyway.

I love Hasbro to death for all this, but my wallet sure doesn't.

Anyone notice the blue/yellow X-Men costume Wolverine on the back of Sunfire's packaging?

Wasn't there a rumored "new" Wolverine figure coming in the Universe line? Could that be it? Really wish they'd keep the Wolverine figures in his line as there are still so many characters in the Marvel Universe we'd all like to see and sounding selfish here but a new Wolverine or Spiderman or another Iron Man all take up a new character's spot.

Yep... Here is a pic of him.

Wolverine blue/yellow costume

I agree we are getting too many Wolverine/Spider-man/Iron-Mans even hulks

You might be thinking of the Age of Apocalypse version that they made for Marvel Legends. He was a fan voted figure sold on Hasbrotoyshop.com

I just checked the list, sunfire isn't listed...

But Luke Cage is.

And I'm more than fine with the additional Ironman Molds so long as they are mostly new molds. Like that cover accurate Extremis. And spidey's not that bad either, so long as they do comic accurate things like his house of M, I might get that one.

As for Wolverine though... Astonishing, Brown Suit, X-Force, and Classic tiger stripe is all I'd want in MU, the rest should go to XMO:W. T_T

At least the spidey surplus figures are getting their own subline instead of clogging up the main MU line. Otherwise I might agree about too many spiderman. But since those aren't MU, he's fine. We were really only shown one MU Ironman figure, the others are his own subline too, so no wasted slots on excess armors there either, just glorious beautiful well done ones. So on the flipside, at least they've managed to trim down the fat that way a considerable amount.
