Does this mean the set is out now?

As far as Ultimate villains, the only ones I can think of from recent memory are Ultimate Green Goblin and Ultimate Beetle and I can't think of any Ultimate characters they've done lately from anywhere outside of Spider-Man, which is why I don't get the randomly tossing in Ultimates characters.

Because the costumes are also in use in the Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble animated series, both of which are currently running (see also: Iron Skull, Onslaught-wave Taskmaster), and in certain ways Hasbro likes to keep a finger on that pulse.

I suppose so. Even then, the Vulture from the 2-pack looks a lot different from the one in the cartoon, at least going by the pictures I've seen. Iron-Skull and Taskmaster clearly had looks lifted from the cartoons, but Vulture on the other hand is definitely more Ultimate inspired than cartoon inspired.

I think you should start hunting for it think it's about $40 in the US, I might get this set thinking about it , though they can easily re-lease one using darkhawks wings

With this Vulture, my guess is aside from the cartoon inspiration.

Honestly, if I ever see those goons again and they grab a toy, I'm not going to be so nice. I'll probably either:

1. take it out of their hand and run off
2. shove through them and grab what I want, I was too nice and just hung back as they grabbed everything, since they got the aisle first. To hell with consideration though, they aren't considerate themselves.

One really tall guy lifted up a hinged Skylanders sign at the very top of a shelf revealing a little hidden cubby hole. He quickly pulled out a couple of figures he had obviously stashed there before. I didn't quite see what specific toys they were, but they weren't Marvel Legends or DC Multiverse like I was hunting for. I don't know if they were scalpers or if they were just stashing toys until they had money, but it's B.S. either way. I'm going to start checking those little hiding spots so I can raid their stash if there's something I'm looking for.

Just going off the photos the wingspan on Ultimate Vulture still looks smaller than the BAF.

I think that's a bit harsh, they both have trousers and (different designs of) jackets, that's a fairly low bar to call something a rip off. Especially when her previous costume was a spandex bodysuit like 90% of other superheroine costumes of the past 30 years.

Didn't they do Ultimate Jessica Drew as well?

Too much re-using molds, to much re-using accessories, and too much re-using old figures and putting them into 2 packs...Hasbro, stop the madness! Hasbro, if you going to 're' something, re-do the X-Force, X-Men (Jubilee) or Puck BAF, now these, IMO, are worth redoing because so many, including people on site, missed out because of limited distribution, exclusivity, and scalpers. Think Hasbro, Think!
