Super Hero Squad Wave 20 Pictures
Hasbro has forwarded official pictures of Super Hero Squad Wave 20 (Deadpool and Taskmaster, Spider-Man and Ronan, and Wolverine and Juggernaut), along with Mystique and the Team X Wolverine from Marvel Universe Wave 10, and so they are currently up in the Hasbro gallery. Never before have we seen so many guns, swords and otherwise fine weapons of destruction in such a small sample of toys! It’s like the Blade/Punisher 2-pack all over again!
Marvel Universe Osborn Variant is Wild
You might have seen some of the discussion online about a certain toy retailer’s decision to charge $200 for a variant Marvel Universe Iron Patriot with Norman Osborn head, but as news of the price started circulating, so too did reports of sightings (as you’ll see in the above thread).
It is apparently being shipped in cases out now, and while some sites are attempting to justify their sponsor’s decision to charge 20 times what the non-variant goes for, and about 25 times the retail price, by saying that nobody knows how rare this figure is or will be, it seems unlikely that with so many sightings in such a short period, and with the justifiable backlash against the jacked up $200 rate, that the figure will really command that much on the secondary market.
Now head on over to the board’s thread to weigh in on the controversy.
