Former Marvel Exclusive Figures Now At HasbroToyShop.com
Some of the hardest to find figures in Hasbro’s Marvel Universe toy line are now available at a bargain price through Hasbro’s own HasbroToyShop.com web site.
These figures, Nick Fury, X-Force Archangel, and the unmasked Dr. Victor von Doom figures, were formerly only available to subscribers of Marvel Comics Digital Comics Unlimited service, a program that allowed comics fans access to thousands of comics for reading on the web. This service cost about $60 per year, which is a bargain for comics fans but a high price for action figure collectors who wanted the figure but not the digital comics.
More, this Digital Comics Unlimited service was only available to United States citizens with a credit card in order to pay. Due to the high cost and limited availability of these figures, each has sold for well over $100 each on eBay.
But this past week Hasbro Marvel Universe figure collectors have rejoiced as all three of these exclusive figures have shown up for sale on Hasbro’s online sales site HasbroToyShop.com at $14.99 each, limit 2 per person.
The Marvel collecting podcast Marvelicious Toys contacted Hasbro for information on why these figures have been made available. Hasbro Public Relations Representative Joe Moscone told Marvelicious, “One figure was offered each year and only in that year. Now that the digital comic offer has passed, Hasbro has the great fortune of being able to offer a small number of these limited edition figures to our fans and collectors.”
This left a question as to the fourth exclusive figure in this line. Originally promoted at San Diego Comic Con in 2012 Hasbro and Marvel were supposed to offer an exclusive Old Man Logan figure, based on the Mark Millar Wolverine comics. While Hasbro gave a small number of these figures to the press at New York Comic Con in October, 2012 both Hasbro and Marvel have been quiet about a wider release of this figure. With Marvel rebranding their Digital Comics Unlimited service to just Marvel Unlimited, some have wondered if this figure will see release at all.
When asked about Old Man Logan, Moscone replied “We will not be offering the Old Man Logan figure for sale [through HasbroToyShop.com], but stay tuned for news from Marvel on this figure in the coming months.”
As of this writing the X-Force Archangel and unmasked Victor von Doom figures have sold out, but the Nick Fury figure remains in stock at HasbroToyShop.com.
For collectors still after the Doom and Archangel figures, the online availability of these figures has not caused much of a drop in aftermarket prices. A check on eBay shows sellers listing Archangel for $70 and higher, while Doom figures start around $40.00 Knowing HasbroToyShop may put more back in stock later due to additional inventory or returned sales, Marvelicious Toys recommends you follow them on Facebook and Twitter and they will post if these toys are again available. Marvelicious Toys’ social media outlets were among the first to report when these figures were made available at HasbroToyShop.
You can hear the Marvelicious Toys podcast hosts Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie discuss toys, statues, games, and other collectibles based on Marvel Comics and movies every Wednesday at MarveliciousToys.com
Avengers Superbowl Trailer – A Frame By Frame Analysis
When The Avengers trailer aired during the Super Bowl, and then an extended version was posted online I had to scour it for clues as to what this movie will bring. Frame-by-frame analysis of the trailer gave me these insights to the blockbuster film due out May 4.
Click any of the images for a larger view.
First, Dr. Pepper is a sponsor of The Avengers film.
In the opening Marvel flip-book opening, Black Bolt can be briefly seen... Black Bolt is a member of the Inhumans. Perhaps a clue to the film's villian?
Quinjets are quite a bit larger than standard fighters
Loki has a flying vehicle...like a hover motorcycle. But what force is he commanding?
A close-up of the ships flying behind Loki
Captain America's cumberbund has a zip-up front. Not sure where the zipper ends though.
Tony Stark listens to classic rock. Iron Man perhaps?
Tony Stark's ARC reactor gets an upgrade. Looks much cooler under the shirt.
Then the suit Tony is donning is the new Mark VII armor.
But the Mark VI is in this film as well. My guess--it gets demolished by one of Loki's troops or maybe Hulk and Tony is forced to upgrade.
Whatever those flying things are, they are after Iron Man as well.
ScarJo looks good when covered in sweat. (Ok, this one may be a bit gratuitous)
Chris Hemsworth has a much better wig in Avengers than he did in Thor. Or are these extensions?
Are these Frost Giants I see leaping the chasm? Hard to tell but I think they are...
A close-up of the possible Frost Giant
The Mark VII armor has big jets on the back and just looks very cool!
But what are these strange aircraft that Iron Man is fighting? Looks kind of like Independence Day.
Another shot of the strange craft Iron Man is fighting.
The Mark VII armor is back to the circle ARC Reactor. It's not a mistake on the toys.
The wings airbrushed on Cap's mask look a bit silly...I see why people have problems with Cap's modern outfit.
They really made Hulk look like a beefed-up Mark Ruffalo
And Hulk gets to smash some of those enemy aircraft with his fists. Yes!
With all these juicy tidbits about The Avengers I know where I’ll be May 4th. The only question will be how many times I see it?
What was your favorite part of the trailer? Let us know in the comments below!
