Hasbro. and Marvel have a FANTASTIC working relationship. For the contract to not be renewed from either party seems highly unlikely. Plus it may have been done recently or even years ago. They don't always announce renewal stuff.

I would bet my bottom dollar (especially. Since the pound has tanked-thanks Brexit) that we will see no hiccups in the production of the line. It will 99% keep trucking in my opinion.

That said... really looking forward to this year's exclusive SDCC set. Plus the reveals and our 3 minutes in the hour long Marvel Hasbro meeting.....

Assuming it happens do we have any predictions? Kingpin? X-Men set? Agent Venom? Asgard? I am mever any good at these things.

i love your optimism ukmu.

1)id like to believe that the contract would be renewed and a great indication of such would be us MU collectors getting characters like gwen stacey,kamala khan and all those cool figs the legends heads are getting right now.groot,maestro and co got revealed last year and have still to get a proper release.
2)Hasbro Marvel may have a fantastic relationship with each other and the 6" collectors in general.but they certainly dont have a great relationship with their 3.75" fanbase.
3)a lot of toy stores in my city have dropped the line,but are still ordering in the latest DC and Legends 6" lines.and so far ive seen no sign of the groot 2 packs and maestro wave that was revealed last year.its been the worst ive seen it since i started collecting MU!!!

we may see some of last years stuff on display at sdcc 2017.alongside that spidey sinister six pack.we may even see that executioner at long last in conjunction with "ragnorok".but we really need someone from the community there asking proper questions and pressing stall on the future of the line.
