1x Stark Labs 3pk (Cap, Hulkbuster, Pepper)
So the Drone sets are Final Battle and Hi-Tech Showdown from Wave 2, but “Cap” and “Pepper” in a Stark Labs set? Could this be the What If Iron Cap armor? Something else? And finally, a Pepper Potts figure? Speculators go wild over on the Super Hero Squad board
Marvel Q&A 3/30/10
We just got back our first round of answers in the Marvel Q&A! Here they are:
1) Are there any plans for offering Marvel Universe troop builder packs on Hasbro Toy Shop like are offered for Star Wars (with Stormtroopers & such) and G.I. Joe (with Cobra henchmen) where it’s a pack of multiple copies of the same figure?
Currently, we have no plans for offering Marvel Universe troop builder
packs, but we are always looking for new ways to innovate and captivate!
2) Does the old idea that female figures don’t sell well still apply. leading to limitations being set on the number of females per year? We’ve gotten a fair share of females in both the Super Hero Squad and Marvel Universe lines, but there are so many more to be done. Also, do differing demographics (i.e. SHS being for the younger crowd) change the ratio on how many females are done?
It’s always tough to target female characters at our younger consumer.
However, we recognize their value to our collectors. Therefore, we try to choose the popular, more appealing females. While there are MANY cool females yet to be created, we have to remain wise regarding our
selections.
3) Will the SHS line continue to cover all of the Marvel Universe in general or will it be more oriented around the show and its cast?
The show has a pretty deep selection of characters. The toyline itself
allows us to go deeper into the Marvel catalogue. Expect NEW cool figures to come!
There you have it, folks! As always, you can head on over to the board to discuss these answers, and to post your own questions you’d like to seen asked of Hasbro!

Seriously. How Does Your Collection Rock? ENDS TOMORROW!!!
We’ve let this sort of rest for a while, but since I can only really see two official entries over in the “How Does Your Collection Rock?” forum and the contest ends TOMORROW, I must say it is a sad day when Rumor Busters turn their noses up at FREE TOYS!!!
Let me remind you: All you have to do is tell us why your collection (It can be ANYTHING! No restrictions except maybe cadaver parts, hairy 70′s porn or Hitler memorabilia, and even then, we’re getting desperate…)
We’re playing it pretty fast and loose with word counts and pictures now, so show and tell or just tell, and most of all, WOW us. Moderators are posting collections as well, although their entries do not count.
What’s up for grabs?
First Prize is a kick-butt Wolverine Claw.
Second Prize is a 6 Inch Iron Monger Figure.
Third Prize is a 3.75 Iron Man figure.
These prizes were donated by Hasbro, and we will not be keeping them! They must go!
Pictures and stories are due by March 20, (TOMORROW!!!) 2010 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Once entrants have been collected they will be entered into a poll, where YOU GUYS will decide the winners!!! Voting runs until March 27, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
Get to it!!! Time is running short!
