I noticed that the only Archangel Marvel Universe Figure I see in stores is the Varient with the Gold Mask. Also if you look on ebay their are only like 2 regular versions for sale, and a shit load of Varients. It seems like everyone else only has found the varient as well. Is the regular winged Archangel even out??

The people with the large winged version (normal) mostly got them off of HTS when it was available for the 1 hour he was up.

It's funny. It seems with Hasbro that the variants sometimes end up being more common than the original version. I remember the ML 2-Packs with Ronin and Elektra. In the original release Elektra was human, then she had the skrull head and Ronin had green guards. I know it was a running change, but then the human version, which was all over the place at first, became impossible to find. It's almost like the variant switched.
Seems like the regular Archangel is going to be quite difficult to get. |

Don't know if this helps but it seems those who have found Angel and Havoc at the Krogers type stores end up with the original Angel and modern Havoc so maybe it has something to do with the stores?

went to target today and all they had were the regular versions of havok and archangel, (2 archangel's and 1 havok). I think they might have had the variants too, but by the time i got there they were gone. So iono, i think it depends in the area? (i'm located in cali)

At least you're finding them at all. I haven't seen past wave 8 and that hit once.

Hard to say what's going on, other than "Buy on Sight" if you want either version at all. Around here I haven't seen anything really new since the Modern Thor/Black Widow wave and those were the only two in the wave that I saw (and they were BOS, of course).

Well alot of it boils down to when the warehouse got the stock, and which is store got shipped it's stuff from the warehouse.
So it's going to be interesting to see how this unfolds later, but chances are hasbro will slot them back in at some point in future waves. |

I found the modern Havok, but it was at a comic books hop, so they likely ordered them from Diamond. A Target employee was kind enough to pull a case from the back for me, and it only had the variant versions. I haven;t seen any more of either version of either figure- seen some AIM Soldiers and Colossus' hanging on the pegs, but the others from this wave don;t stick around long

I saw the Juggernaut at Target in Little 5 Points, and didn't even realize it was new?
I also saw several of the yellow bee guys. I want the Skrull. |
