Hasbro 2010 Marvel QnA Round 3 Answers

Thank you everybody for getting the other sites

So we are definitely getting Mandarin as he is mentioned twice. Fantastic Four is coming a big box set (what a cheap way to give us Invisible Woman, after getting 4 of each other guy).

Thanos, last wave with removable infinity gauntlet, single carded= AWESOMENESS

2) Why was the carded deco on Iron Patriot chosen versus the more comic-accurate version we were shown at Toy Fair slide presentation? Was the Toy Fair version the "fixed" version? Will there be a running change to correct it?
A) We decided to use the "carded deco" on Iron Patriot because we have already featured him in numerous comic stylings. Is this a variant you were hoping to see? Let us know!

Heck yes they need to fix this! It should be a running change, not a variant. It really sounds like the person answering the question might think that Iron Man and Iron Patriot are the same character. I hope the rest of the team is more clued in. Anyways, YES, Hasbro, the deco at Toy Fair was correct. The carded deco is significantly off and has no basis in canon. Please fix it.

This was the one that really got me excited, yeah I want a Mandarin but I NEED a Thanos!

Thanos is coming. He has a sneak peak at Toy Fair. They showed his back.

I hope the FF box set is of different costumes for people. I'm wondering if since it's a box set they will all be the same theme though, so would they just do a regular Sue figure or will we end up getting something else, like a Heroes Reborn costume set?

I'm not sure. I think they don't believe that an Invisible Woman single carded figure can be pushed. So we may be totally at the mercy of the box set. I can only hope through different venues (box set, comic sets etc) we will get a regular blue/white black/white uniform, heroes reborn and even a "invisible" figure.

"Be on the lookout for the 25th figure… we’re saving the best for last."

That was from AFP's Q and A.

The next wave with Wrecker, and Skrull, adds up to 24. The Wave beyond that (Ghost Rider etc) has 5 in it. Are they going to skip a number between waves and if so.......is this Thanos or something we don't know about.
They did mention Thanos is coming at the end of the year

25 will probably be Galactus carded from SDCC.

yeah, I am curious about this "surprise" 25th figure since we know that numerically 25th will be one of the Captain Britain wave.

EDIT: OOOH, that is a good thought, when is that Multiple Man and Mystique wave due?

Thats the same wave as Captain Britain so July Augustish

That early? Dang, I need time to save more money for these guys.

I mean if I had to put money on it, I'd think August/SDCC time to beginning of September. The Wrecker/MJ/Skrull Wave is due in June, which means end of June beginning of July

Nah, then it wouldn't be surprising and cool. They won't make an exclusive figure part of the numbering let alone a giant 20" figure.

My guess, if the figure is already announced, is Thanos. Otherwise, it's probably a character we haven't heard about being made into a figure yet.

I'm inclined to agree here.

We technically saw some supposed card art for World War Hulk but I don't think that would be it.

I'm calling Thanos as well

I really hope it's Thanos. I don't want to have to wait until the end of the year. Especially with the Thanos Imperative starting up now.

In the Q and A they said Thanos will occur at thend of the year. They will probably just skip his number

Does this mean Paper-bag Spidey will show up eventually? I wouldn't doubt it.

I was thinking that. They mentioned that the Fantastic Four will be coming in a box set and since Peter Parker dawned an FF uniform and a paper bag, I'd wonder if he'd be a part of that.
