The MARVEL Team at Hasbro has once again come through for AFI readers answering your latest and greatest Pre-Comic Con Hasbro/Marvel questions.  These questions were submitted by AFI readers via our forums. 

Q1. The SDCC Invaders pack is fantastic! Will we see any more team packs that pay homage to Marvel’s history (i.e. The Champions, The Defenders, Inhumans, or New Mutants)?

A1) We certainly hope so.  There are tons of great possibilities for these!

Q2. How long will it take you to provide fans with a full set of the Fantastic Four in matching costumes? We’ve got blue/black Johnny Storm and Thing, blue/white Johnny Storm and an up coming classic Torch in Secret Wars set #2. One would "assume" the likelihood of a blue/white Thing and/or Mr. Fantastic in the Secret Wars packs is high. This leaves the need for a blue/black Mr. Fantastic as well as an Invisible Woman in blue/black, blue/white and perhaps even a translucent/phasing version. Hopes are high for this but with your track record expectations are low.  Prove me wrong.

A2) We agree that The Fantastic Two just doesn’t have the same ring to it. With that said, team completion is always one of the discussion points in our character debates.  We have tons of characters on tap for 2010 (heck,we’re doing nearly 60 figures in 2009), but you’ll have to wait until SDCC for the next batch of reveals.

Q3. Will we EVER see any female characters in the Wolverine and the X-Men line or any other woman besides MS Marvel in the MU line?

A3) Yes.

Q4. Will there be more of a balance between the number of Heroes and Villains in Marvel Universe in the future? The figures are great, but the ratio is something like 4:1 so far, Green Goblin and Bullseye can only take so much abuse!!

A4) But they’ve got plenty of support from an army of Hand Ninjas along with Hobgoblin, Red Hulk, Klaw and Thunderball!  Not to worry, you’re going to some great new villains in SD next month.

Q5. I’m crazy about the Marvel Super-Hero Squad line. Are there any plans for a Fantasticar for the FF, a Quinjet for the Avengers and a Blackbird for the X-Men? I’ve seen the big rig for Logan on his motorcycle, but I’m hoping that we’ll see some other vehicles for the line.

A5) No news on those particular vehicles, but there’s an assortment of Super Hero Squad vehicles hitting shelves now that we think you’re going to like – be on the lookout for Squad Cruisers!  There’s a cool Spidey Car, a Wolverine 4×4 and a crime fighting Helicopter for Cap.

 

If you have a question you would like to ask the Hasbro Marvel team, you can submit them via this thread.   New questions are due by:  Friday July 3rd.
