They haven't shown anything from a Thor comic series yet, or a Captain America movie series, but I believe I read somewhere online (can't remember where) that they confirmed that both properties would get movie and comic figures, just like X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Iron Man 2.

I've been reading Incredible Hulks: Enigma Force and wondering if we'd ever get a Carl figure, given his superficial resemblance to ROM: the Spaceknight.

Which got me thinking: since Hasbro owns both the Marvel license and Parker Brothers, would it be possible to see a Rom figure, possibly as a convention exclusive or is too much red tape involved? A deluxe figure in Marvel Universe or Legends style with all of the original doll's electronic "powers" and accessories would be a collector must-have, and a nice nod to a historic toy.

Will the Digital Subscription Archangel still be available to subscribers through the website? Or is it not being offered any more since after NYCC?

Read the round-up! December Marvel Q and A round up

Awesome!

What is going to be the general theme of the Marvel Legends Reboot Line of Action Figures?

Pertaining to the Iron Man 2 movie line and comic line are we getting the figures in store? I know like many others I have yet to see the wave with the comic ultimate Iron man, and walmart exclusive Mark 4 6 inch figure.

Also what wave will the hammer drone prototype be in?

My final question is the movie whiplash final battle armor has yet to be produced is there any chance of seeing that figure?

Where are the vehicles in the Marvel Universe line? Counting variants, Hasbro has released more than 150 Marvel Universe figures, but not a single vehicle, playset or large-sized animal. By the time the 1980s G.I. Joe line passed a 150 figures, it had dozens of vehicles, playsets, accessory packs, robots, cannons and the U.S.S. Flagg. I'm not saying go crazy and start putting out ATVs with SHIELD logos painted on the front, but the occasional flaming motorcycle or Avenger's Quinjet might be a nice touch. Where would the Star Wars line be without X-Wings and TIE Fighters?

q) when hasbro invests in new part(s) tooling for an exclusive figure, can those parts be re-used in the main line to further the life of the new tooling? for example 2009's mail away nick fury head being re-used for max fury or a life model decoy (lmd) fury?

q) with iron man 2 comic wave 4 figures (mandarin, whiplash, modern war machine, ultimate iron man) having trouble reaching large chain retailers, will these be re-released under the new 2011 iron man toy line banner or under the marvel universe banner to help extend either line with additional figures at no additional investment cost to hasbro so fans can finally collect them?

What are the chances of us getting some playsets?If you could make an apartment building rooftop set, or alleyway set, labratory/ hall of armour set.. they would sell big time! An accessory pack or 2 would be awesome, like the way Mcfarlane did that with the Halo reach line, they made a pack of 5-10 guns for $15 and sold out everywhere I went. You could easily do the same with weapons, or head sculpts. What are the chances of giving us blank figures the way mighty muggs does? What's the chances of seeing build a figures being part of the future waves? or more larger figure smaller figure packs ie giantman and super skrull, or the more recent Galctus with silver surfer. Some more accessories would be nice to see, as gi joe has 10x more guns and accessory parts. What are the chances of seeing a Fing Fang Foom, or Jim Lee style box set, as they're the best xmen version IMO.


I'm glad you stepped up to include figure stands with all the newer lines, is there chances y

Any chance for a 6in version of the recent "Bagley-inspired" Carnage toy? Neither Toybiz nor Hasbro have yet to do Carnage justice as a toy, closest is the 3in one, but the "pincer" looks lame. a 6in version of that toy, with some snap-on blades and axes would be killer!

is it possible for hasbro to obtain the license and release marvel vs capcom 3 figures? lots of 2 pack or box set potentials there.

any plans on reissuing marvel legends ICONS series figures like Captain America and Thor to coincide in the movie release? maybe add Ironman as well. it has been a few years since their release and they're hard to come by already. the 10" with electronics figures arent just cutting it for large size Avengers.

- Will the Black Widow/unmasked Iron Man/unmasked War Machine figures shown at SDCC ever be released?

- Any plans for Thor comic figures?

- The case packout for the upcoming wave with Scarlet Spider and Falcon looks great with 2x of each new character. Is that going to be the new normal going forward? Those Classic Iron Mans and Spider-Mans have been clogging the pegs for two years now!

It is a fact that few female characters have had the sculpt quality as most male figures.
Are there any plans on improving future female characters sculpts? (faces specially)

Does this year's Q and A have rules like you can't ask direct questions about release dates?

These are some GREAT questions folks, thanks, and keep them coming!

I'd assume so.

Jazwares has the all encompassing license for 3-3/4" Street Fighter, so this is highly doubtful. With SOTA now doing statues, and Jazwares having licenses for both 3-3/4" and 6" Mortal Kombat, I think it's likely that Jazwares may also have a license for 6" Street Fighter.

1.) How many 8 figure waves of Marvel Legends can we expect to be released per year?

2.a) Going forward with new Marvel Legends sculpts what kind of shoulder articulation can we expect?

2.b) If, we get a Bicep cut articulation on a new ML sculpt, what can we expect? Spheres like Ares, Daredevil, and Vision? Or Contoured countersunk shoulders that look like a more realistic deltoid muscle? Face off Hulk, Crossbones/Hulkling/Warpath’s shoulders all look really good.

3.) Classic costumes on some heroes are ok, but it really bugged me when toybiz released Characters like Luke Cage and Havoc in costumes they had not worn in a over decade. Do you plan for the majority of your new Marvel Legends sculpts to reflect the Modern Heroic Age costumes?

1.) Are there any characters that you feel will NEVER make the cut for the Marvel toy series??

2.) Can we expect to see more focus in single figure releases? I.E. team releases, relative characters, etc.

3.) Will we see some unreleased ML figures to finally see release when the series is revamped?

4.) Nova Prime... (That is all)

Webz, I really dig the anti venom toy that Marvel Select launched good scale and size not the classic red and black but it's nice, I used to have the oldschool 95-97 toybiz 5-6'' figure which had the removeable mask and axe.. was a sweet toy

What are the odds of Hasbro taking full advantage of the Captain America franchise and making some more historical troop builders and vehicles for 3 3/4.

Also are there any plans to produce any of the awesome Hydra and Nazi designs from the Captain America video game into action figures?

Also what happened to the unreleased IronMan 2 movie star 3 pack with Blackwidow, Tony, and Rhodey with unhelmeted versions of themselves. Last we heard you were "working hard on bringing this to the fans" Will we see it in the armoured avengers line?

Distribution was also an issue with IronMan2 with the last wave still impossible to find for most. Less versions of the main character and more onscreen companion figures would help avoid the 500+ Ironmen variants shelf warming in my local metro area.

Will you guys finally include stands for all your figures!? And bring back the character info card that comes with each figure!

Are we going to see more new figures to come out of the iron man 2/armored avenger 3.75 line such as the movie final battle armored whiplash?

Also will we be getting more iron man armored avenger figures in stores??
