Here's the box set! Do you think we'll be getting solos too like with X-Men or nah? Would be nice to get a Sue you can see. But Reed comes with a stretched arm!

EDIT: And Titan Galactus!

Guess we’ll see where this ends up, but this is DAMN late for a movie tie in. My suspicion is that either retailers balked at the line, or something caused a delay in Hasbro getting toys out. Quite possible that Disney’s shifting of dates Hasbro prioritized a more stable release slate in their kids segment? Or, given Franklin’s inclusion, Disney got dickish about a potential “spoiler” (which was spoiled by the film’s marketing) and Hasbro just bumped stuff back. Who knows at this point.

At this point, I’m doubtful of single card releases. The film, while successful, doesn’t appear to have set the world on fire, and co-marketing on the Fantasticar points to the box set as a singular release for the entire crew.

I was going to say they already did Titan Series Sentinels…until I looked closer and saw how articulated that Galactus is!
So, yeah, I hope Hasbro does an articulated Sentinel (or Apocalypse?) if they do another run of X-Men 97 figures with the second season.

But yeah, this is the BARE MINIMUM I would have expected from a tie in release, coming MONTHS after it should have. I’m impressed by Galactus (given the general direction of the Titan Series), but this line has some of the usual omissions that I saw with prior tie ins. The lack of a Silver Silver is disappointing, as is the duplication of The Thing, though at least he is DIFFERENT between the box set and vehicle. I would have liked to see Hasbro put the “rock beard” on one of them to further differentiate between them.

That said, at least Hasbro’s box set has the full family, and I suspect HERBIE and Franklin would have likely been exclusive to this sort of set to begin with. That removes an obvious frustration point. The Fantasticar is nice, and I applaud the display stand for Human Torch. And again, for a Titan, Galactus is nicely sculpted and articulated.
