Super Hero Squad DS
Nintendo Everything has a host of screen shots featuring the DS version of the upcoming Super Hero Squad video game. Hulk, Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America and Thor are all shown, while eagle-eyed viewers can see Mystique, those dagnabit AIM troopers, and big bad Doctor Doom
The Obligatory Disney-Marvel Link
Every other site is covering the Marvel/Disney buyout, so we won’t even try to cover it. We’ll just point you to Newsarama’s coverage of the animation related aspect of the buyout. Still, you can join our discussion of the merger on the board.
Infinite Heroes And Marvel Universe Gallery Updates
Another weekend over and another big update to the galleries.
Up first, a handful of Infinite Heroes group shots and comparisons. Just how small is Robin? How big is the Anti-Monitor? A Batman family and foes group shot, an updated collection of Titans and their foes, and until Harbinger and the Shadow Demons are released, a shot of the Crisis on Infinite Earths major players. And finally, the Supergirls that both are and were… from Kara Zor-El to pre and post death 1985 Supergirl and even Power Girl.
Marvel Universe gets some new comparison shots too. First, we have the mini-Iron Man Hall of Armor, from TRU’s Stealth Iron Man to Wave 3′s Classic and Wave 1′s modern and “stealth” versions, Yellow Costume Daredevil and Wave 1, and TRU’s white Silver Surfer with Wave 1, and Wave 3′s Thing and negative Zone costume variant.
The Marvel Universe Daredevil/Silver Surfer/Iron Man three pack has it’s own pictures up, of course, as is the new Thing figure, the Infinite Heroes Heart of Crisis set featuring Monitor, Flash, Medusa Mask Psycho Pirate and Supergirl, along with SDCC’s Anti-Monitor, the Mallah’s Revenge Wal-Mart Exclusive 6-pack, TRU’s exclusive Gotham Patrol 6-pack and Best Buy’s exclusive First Flight Green Lantern figure.
So there you go, all kinds of Infinite Heroes and Marvel Universe goodness! Up next, more Handful of Heroes.
Superman Batman: Public Enemies Best Buy Exclusive Infinite Heroes Figure
Just like Wonder Woman and Green Lantern First Flight, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies gets a Best Buy exclusive release with an Infinite Heroes action figure! This time it’s a Batman and while the picture at Bestbuy.com is pretty small, the figure apparently went with a bluer-tint cape and cowl and instead of the full-over-the-shoulders-meet-at-the-neck cape shown with The Fwoosh’s early preview of the Public Enemies set, it appears to stop at the shoulders but like I said, that picture’s pretty small. As always, feel free to discuss the new figure on the Infinite Heroes message board.
And on a related note, today we’re going on an Infinite Heroes photo shooting spree, so hopefully this weekend there will be a huge gallery update.
SHS Secret Invasion, Secret Wars, CP3 in the Gallery
Another major gallery update has just been completed! The good news is the gallery has passed 35,000 views and with 4850 images, we’ll be breaking the 5,000 image barrier soon. The better news is what we just put up!
Collector’s Pack 3 is up first, and includes Falcon comparisons, Emma Frost comparisons and a comparison of the Spider-Man/Scorpion, Spider-Man/Daredevil and CP3 Spider-Man figures.
Pictures of the Repulsor Racer and Hero Helicopter are up too, including a demonstration of some of the Hero Helicopter’s features.
But you’re a discriminating reader and you demand more! Secret Invasion and Secret Wars are now in the gallery too. Thrill to the Hawkeye comparison shot! Wondering what’s different between Wave 1, Winter Soldier and Secret Wars Captain Americas? Curious to see Doctor Strange astrally project? Which Skrull Soldier is tougher? What’s different between the Collector’s Pack 3 Mr. Fantastic, Secret Invasion Reed, and the unreleased Mega Pack Wave 4 Mr. Fantastic? Of course, you can always just enjoy a great new Spider-Man sculpt, or the Wrecker.
And just for fun, here’s a taste of the Ultimate Hulk/Ultimate Wolverine mega-pack that never was, and an Ultimate Universe group shot.
Phew. And of course, discussion is always welcome on the message board.
Rise of Cobra Combat Heroes Wave 3
