Hasbro Q&A
This is actually a slightly older Q&A, but it got caught in a bit of a shuffle, but better late than never. And, it’s nice to have an official answer from Hasbro about what happened to the Secret Invasion, Secret Wars, City in Crisis and Winter Soldier Super Hero Squad sets:
1) At this past Toy Fair show, we saw what looked like a MU Dark Avenger (Karla Soffen) Ms. Marvel variant on display, but she wasn’t mentioned in the presentation. Can you give us more info on this figure? Is she a running change/variant we can look forward to, is she a head-swapped Classic Ms. Marvel (what most collectors have done to add her to their collection), or will we see her released in an upcoming wave?
The Marvel Universe Dark Avenger Ms. Marvel shown at Toy Fair was planned as a variant. Unfortunately, plans changed; but she is being reviewed for future releases!
2) This year in MU we’ve been getting one female figure per wave, is this trend going to continue?
There are a lot of cool female characters in Marvel Universe. We want to add as many as we can. However, since this is a brand driven by boys we tend to have less female figures. But keep your eyes peeled, you just never know who might appear this fall!
3) What went into the decision to release the SHS 4-packs like “City in Crisis” and “Secret Invasion” in international markets (Philippines, Taiwan, United Kingdom) but not in the US?
These items were also offered in the USA. Unfortunately, local retailers chose not to list them.
