Yeah, the king of repaints won't let us down. =)

Warpath has both, Wolverine has both. And don't forget the fan 4 repaints, Ms. Marvel, and more lol.

But still, it's just not fast enough T_T.

I WANT THEM NAO!!!!

And from the sounds of it, maybe it's better the UK disallows pictures. It seems their employees at the shows are less than helpful. Heck they sound worse than toy store employees who hate toys, toons and comics.

I just hope they do civil war wolverine already. It's hard enough to find that two pack with him. Let alone knowing if the head is compatible to a masked wolvie figure.

As for the Action Figure industry going to shit...
While I tend to concur, especially with how store help is these days, even in places that are supposed to specialize in this stuff, and that hasbro should use knowledgable people if they want to garnish interest in their items, the action figure industry itself is one of the facets of the toy industry on the rise, having raised 14% this past year, while the other facets dropped lower.
One thing that would help build hype though would be to have enthused excited employees to help convey the greatness of the line. Nothing makes a line look lamer like having some disinterested non-knowledgeable person telling you all the wrong things about it. Especially gems like these. That's such a waste of good potential to help create excitement.

Also, YAY for the AIM agent! Hope the US toy fair shows off more though, can't wait to see what else is in store when actual knowledgable and enthused spokespeople are behind it. So shame on you Hasbro UK. You missed your chance to really help create excitement instead of making yourselves look even more foolish. It's hard to want to support a company's branch that's native to you when they act like that. If it was me, I'd start looking at importing figures just because I wouldn't want to support a branch that can't take the time to know or care about its own products, let alone on a show floor where you're showing em off to the masses. That's just utterly pathetic and just plain sad. Heck the toy store hasbro reps, that don't even do the toy shows sound like they are more knowledgable, smile more, and are willing to educate themselves more than these people. What's up with that? And how can people make hasbro notice they need a change in that branch to make sure they're properties they've spent so much money on, are being presented properly and courteously.
