Was there ever really any doubt?


While I'm glad he's being remade using the new Hulk mold I am not happy that he's in a 3 pack with figures I already have. I'd love to see a grey Hulk made as well, but with my luck they'd throw that in a 3 pack as well.


Also, now I needs me a red She-Hulk please.

Depends if it were an exclusive, or mass market figure I think.

That's not Gambit's trenchcoat. His is flared out way more.

I don't think it would fit a female body if it were Gambit's.

tired of the repacks and the original MU Red Hulk is still one of my all time favorite molds.

Er..they made FOUR Captain Britans over Hercules Beast or a bunch of other Avengers- MU seems to draw it's selections out of a hat.

Which I for one, LOVE.

Really, there's no other way he'd have got guys like Darkhawk or Klaw otherwise.

Yeah, they're doing this on purpose. A good mix of popular figures and obscure. Otherwise, the line would run out of steam too fast. For every person saying "But they're missing X", there's a person who's completing team Y. They're missing Avengers? I have the entire 1970-ish lineup after Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver quit. (And soon we'll have them) Soon we'll have the West Coast Avengers. We also have most of the New Avengers.

X-men? I have the entire Giant Size X-men team minus Banshee, and a good chunk of the Jim Lee team going. The modern X-force is nearly completed.

And on top of all that, I'm getting my Spider-man fix on like there's no tomorrow. (Sorry, shameless fan here)

There has been a problem with women in the line, obviously, but I think that much like how the Simpsons line had to fight before they were allowed to make characters other than Bart and Homer, the Marvel Universe line has started to prove that female characters will sell. Just look at the upcoming waves. Scarlet Witch and She-hulk in one wave, Storm and Psylocke in another? It's clear that the "boys don't want female figures" line Hasbro always drags out has finally been overturned for the MU line.

The problem here is that they're not completing the teams. Really, Banshee should have been released around the same time as Sunfire.

I'd really like to see what the sales are like on the Spider-Man figures. There are a million ugly versions of Spidey with space and aqua armors which serve no purpose. Do those do better than say Venom or a decent Doc Ock, should they ever put one out? Seems unlikely...

They've said repeatedly in the early Q&As that they do sell very well. They wouldn't keep making them if they didn't. Hasbro didn't become the biggest toy company in the world by constantly pumping out toys that sit in warehouses. Hell, they even canceled Star Wars for a year when its sales plummeted after several bad waves and a poor line re-launch. If Spidey wasn't selling, he wouldn't be made.

I agree with everything here, except that Hasbro is the #2 toy company. Mattel is actually number 1, and that's due to two things: Barbie and Hot Wheels.

But with all the success that Hasbro's been having the last few years, that may soon change.

I can't honestly ever see anything to beat out the might of Barbie and Hot wheels. They just have a stranglehold on the toy market. Also the fact that they had/have the disney CARs license. MOTUC,DCU, Ghostbusters, & now their highly bought Monster High dolls. Mattel will likely be #1 for a long time but who knows lol
