Reptil Finds a Home in the Marvel U!
Fans of Super Hero Squad (The toys OR the show), are definitely familiar with Reptil, the dinosaur-shape-shifting rookie. Love him or hate him, Reptil will be making his permanent home in the Marvel Universe at the up and coming Avengers Academy.
Both Comicbookresources and Newsarama have the scoop.
Vote the next Marvel Digital Comics figure
Marvel.com have a poll up for the next Marvel Digital Comics exclusive MU figure. The three choices are Osborn in HAMMER outfit, Archangel in X-Force outfit, and Dark Avenger Ms. Marvel.
War Machine Red and Blue
Hmm… that title makes me think of an Iron Man story where Iron Man builds tow sets of armor, one red, one yellow, but when both get trashed, he’s got to kitbash an old fashioned red-and-yellow from the spare parts. Anyway, one of the newest variants to hit store shelves is in the Iron Man 2 3.75 inch line. The movie version of War Machine has both a red chest and a blue chest (with corresponding eyes). Both Marvelousnews and Toyark have pieces about it. There doesn’t seem to be a clear consensus about whether it’s a running change or a variant, and which one is the more prevalent, although the early reports from those sites would suggest the blue is the harder to find one.

To Be Determined – Thanos.
Comic packs: Cyclops and Dark Phoenix, Sinister Spider-Man (aka, the Mac Gargan/Venom)/Daken (as Dark Wolverine), and Sentry/Spider-Man

Toy Fair 2010
Hey guys, we’re still getting the coverage for Toy Fair 2010 ready, but in the meantime, check out the Marvel Universe and Super Hero Squad side of things, and a peak at the Super Hero Squad Quinjet, SHIELD Flying Car and Helicarrier. Oh, and did we mention the slide featuring Super Hero Squad Captain Marvel/Thanos, a new Doctor Strange/Iron Man and Falcon/Hulk? Because Hasbro omitted it from their press shots, didn’t have them on display and told us not to bother taking photos during the slide-show since they’d make the photos available. Still, awesomeness. Head over to the board to get talking!
