The offsite thing, according to sources, will have reveals in the press release. I'm thinking that SnowFlakian is right when he espoused an economics theory behind all of this.

Plus, to add on, I predict Toyfair will have a large showing. In May 2013, the new Iron Man comes out, with Thor Dark World coming out in Nov 2013 and Captain America in 2014.

The year should be ripe with movie toys. There is are four points of concern here though:

Quality- As we know movie line figures have been getting slashed in terms of articulation...

Comic vs Move line/Figure Selection- Comic lines have been dwindling or non apparent.

MU ML/Movie- unlike most years where a movie line and an independent line can co-exist we have several movie lines debuting rapidly which can flood the market. Will this mean that MU and/or ML be reduced greatly (or even...cut?)

3.75 Guarantee- I have this weird feeling that Hasbro is slowly moving towards a 6 inch paradigm considering the reintroduction of Marvel Legends, but I am not sure. I dont think Hasbro wants or can produce both a 6 inch and a 3.75 independent line in full force along with 3.75 and 6 inch movie lines. Something will get reduced. In past it has been 6 inch movie lines, but who knows
