I might get that She-Hulk pack. I always liked the Purple costume on her.

Well, Im hoping in those pics that I linked to that is MU figures on that second shelf but I'm sure it's MLs line.

From CTR-- guess I forgot about them..

We've uncovered two new Marvel Universe comic packs, both of which are inspired by the original Marc Silvestri drawn The X-Men Vs. The Avenger limited series. The first pack will include a kit-bashed Magneto made up from the body of the AIM Soldier, Doctor Doom's cape, and the Adam Warlock head and a repacked Captain America. The second set will feature a redeco of the upcoming She-Hulk (in her purple Avengers costume) and a kit-bashed Wolverine which is essentially the X-Men Origins Brown Costumed Wolvie with the Wolverine Vs. Silver Samurai head and hands. THese sets will be limited to 40, 000 pieces and when they hit the shelves next month, they will go for $16.99.

Okay why does it have to the body of the Aim Soldier. I don't see why they couldn't kit bash using the Cyclops body and another repacked Capt America and another Wolverine, wow, what imagination we have Hasbro. :roll:

It depends if I can get the repainted She-Hulk off ebay cheaper than having it customed painted.

limited to 40,000? how many are there usually?

Not sure usually but look at it this way-- Domestically there are roughly 4000 Wal Marts , 2000 Targets, 875 TRU, 1200 K Marts and 200 Meijers- that translates to less than 5 per store (not to mention all the online suppliers and smaller stores (like Kroger) that carry them as well..

SO my guess means maybe One case of 6 (3/3) per store in the grand scheme of things-

And as many as I have seen of the spidey/Capt Britian- my guess is normally these packs number around at least 100,000

41.92-- This years exclusive digital comics subscription figure is Victor Von Doom- unmasked with Infinity Gauntlet.

Another easy pass.

Whew.

Wow, something I have always wanted, NOT!

actionfigurepics has some decent pictures up.

Look like maybe Sharon Carter in that parachute?

I was very excited to see Ultimo, until I looked more closely and realized it was just a kitbashed giant Doombot.

Haven't really seen any brand new MU figures that we haven't at least heard about yet.

Thanks for the actionfigurepics heads-up, Shellhead.

Both of those Avenges/X-Men packs are a pass, thankfully. Fair enough costume variations, but I don't like Magneto or She-Hulk enough that I gotta have 'em all.

The X-Men and Inhuman 3-packs can't get here soon enough, though.

The Norman Osborn and Purple Man in the Cabal diorama have gotta be customs, right?

Sean Whitmore · **Posted:** Wed Jul 11, 2012 5:46 pm

I'm not nuts, that's two completely different Rhino molds, right? A classic single-packed version and a repack from the Spidey line in the comics 2-pack?

Shellhead · **Posted:** Wed Jul 11, 2012 5:59 pm

With you on the Inhumans pack. Sad to say, it'll be the first 3-pack I'll pick up at regular price (I waited until th Avengers 3-pack was on sale).

As collector friendly as it may be, I have a feeling it'll pegwarm worse than the Guardians of the Galaxy pack. :lol:

Sean Whitmore · **Posted:** Wed Jul 11, 2012 6:01 pm

So you're saying don't hold my breath for a Gorgon/Triton/Crystal pack to follow up?

Shellhead · **Posted:** Wed Jul 11, 2012 6:06 pm

I'd buy it and you'd buy it. Maybe 500 other people would buy it.

Everybody else?

Nope.

:wink:

What's the deal with the cartoonish looking cyclops with the Xmen 3 pack? Is that an "xbabies"figure?
