Infinite Heroes Gallery Update: Public Enemies and More
The long awaited Infinite Heroes Public Enemies gallery update is up. We’ve also got some random shots, including the mysterious translucent Adam Strange figure that popped up internationally, and oodles of comparison shots between the Public Enemies figures and their regular Infinite Heroes counterparts, along with some odds and ends such as President Lex Luthor and the Question and Grodd and Mallah. And in honor of the Public Heroes gallery update, here’s a gallery of screencaps from the Superman/Batman Public Enemies movie.
Rumorbuster 2.5?
As you can no doubt see, we’ve finished rolling out our fresh new look, but we’ve got a few new features to talk about too!
First, we have to thank Livedog for the new logo, Clanure for the new gallery layout, and really_rather_not_nice for the idea of isolating links to the Board, gallery and Wiki. Now, onto some of the new features!
(1) The front page should now display a list of recent message board topics, right above the latest wiki edits. Previously, each individual front page post had a list of recent message board posts, but other than those that read us through RSS readers and whatnot, most people were just coming to the front page and not really seeing that what stuff we were discussing over here.
(2) The gallery has been streamlined. Gone are the columns and endless pages of thumbnails. We have a few more tweaks to make, but right now, the photos are categorized first by toy line, and then going into the toy line you can see the sub-serieses or individual waves. Also, the thumbnails are bigger, so you can get a better idea of what you’re looking at.
(3) Individual figure voting on the Rumorbuster Wiki! Each figure has a mini-poll attached to it so you can help rate individual figures. Visiting the Wolverine Super Hero Squad page, for instance you’ll see that each figure has a poll to the right where you can vote it. Same for Combat Heroes, Robot Heroes… all the Heroes lines! And eventually, it’ll come to the other toy lines too. A few votes have already been cast, but more votes are always welcome so be sure to vote when you visit!
(4) Galactic Heroes joins the rest of the Hasbro Heroes! Clanure’s already begun the arduous and thankless task of getting pictures of the Galactic Heroes and in addition to that, he’s also worked out a lot of the kinks in the Galactic Heroes checklist
So that’s a handful of the bigger changes, but there are some other features hanging around, and even a handful that aren’t fully implemented yet. As you can see, we’re still innovating and evolving, and we have no intention of stopping any time soon. It’s entirely possible that this time next year, you’ll be looking back at how quaint the Rumorbuster was back in the day, and if nothing else, we need to keep giving other sites new ideas.
If you’ve come across any of the other new features, feel free to mention them. Either it’s something that we’re still working on, or it’s something I’ve forgotten to mention, but either way, we look forward to comments, critiques and best of all suggestions.
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.
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.
Marvel Universe Super Hero Squad Galleries Updated
While it’s not as big an update as I had hoped for, an update is an update. First off, for Marvel Universe we’ve got the Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends Toys R Us 3-pack up, and Secret Wars Comic Packs 1-3. More importantly, we’ve got a few comparison shots, like Spider-Men from Wave 1 through Amazing Friends, Amazing Friends Iceman versus X-Men Origins Wolverine Iceman, and Wave 1 Wolverine versus Secret Wars Wolverine.
Following that, we’ve got Super Hero Squad Cruisers Wave 2 photos and comparisons. This wave continues the background Easter Eggs of Wave 1, showing off guest appearances by Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, the Baxter Building, and the latest Stark Industries armors. Comparisons of Wave 5 and Cruisers Wave 2 Thor (Hero Helicopter Thor has a more golden boot color) and Ultimate Captain America (which has a darker red shield) figures, while Repulsor Racer Iron Man goes up against the Fin Fang Foom/Mega Pack Iron Man (Repulsor Racer Iron Man has a green tint to the yellow armor and a darker shade of red), while Astonishing X-Men Cyclops has an obvious color change.
So there you go, hopefully that solves some burning repaint/repack questions and if not, hopefully it keeps you busy until the next time we update the gallery, which, by the way, recently celebrated its 30,000th image view (and that doesn’t count viewing gallery images through the wiki), and is nearing 5,000 pictures! As always, you can head over to the board for more discussion on Marvel Universe, Super Hero Squad, and all things in general.
Massive Robot Heroes Gallery Update
We’re finally catching up on all the latest news and developments, so while this may be old news for board members, Clanure finished the massive Robot Heroes Gallery. Those 460 plus photos bring the Robot Heroes gallery up to 541 and covering everything up to the latest toys based on Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and even the Robot Heroes board game! Join the Robot Heroes discussion over on the board. In the meantime, here’s a quick sample of Clanure’s previous and most recent photos. Naturally, they’re just as awesome as always.
Handful of Heroes in the Gallery
After way too long, we’ve finally uploaded the first half of our Handful of Heroes gallery.
As always, you can join the Handful of Heroes discussion over on the board. In the meantime, enjoy a few sample shots from the gallery…
