More Super Hero Squad Variants

clevernamehere — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 13:40:09 +0000

As you know we’re always looking out for new Super Hero Squad figures, and recently there’s been a flurry of potentially new figures coming from Bluesduck on eBay. He’s been a reputable seller, and there’s no indication that these figures are customs, but who knows what, if any, figures will get released. First there’s “Halloween pants Hulk”, then blue Ghost Rider and the gold Iron Men, a black and orange Spider-Man, and most recently, a white and black Venom (a la Anti-Venom, though bulky, and using the Super Hero Squad Venom sculpt). And the seller also has the drop on upcoming figures like Hercules, Odin, the Julia Carpenter/Spider-Woman/Arachne/Madame Web figure, the mysterious Black Surfer and some rare figures like Nighthawk, and Gargoyle.

Think adds some insight into possible upcoming Super Hero Squad packs so looks like we might be in for some fun times ahead. Less fun, if you hate repaints, but still, it’s interesting to see the future and like always, you read it here first. Well, technically on the message board first, but still.

Super Hero Squad’s “Cosmic” Playset

clevernamehere — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:14:38 +0000

You probably remember seeing Galactus hanging out behind the new Super Hero Squad playset at SDCC 2010, and the good news is that it’ll be on store shelves soon enough. Entertainment Earth is already taking pre-orders for it with it either arriving in October or November, depending on which listing you get first. The listing mentions both Spider-Man and Iron Man, both of whom were displayed with Silver Surfer at SDCC 2010, but hopefully pictures will be available soon to show us which of which wil show up on store shelves. No word yet on what differences they’ll have from their previously released Super Hero Squad figures.

Hot Discussions: Is the Super Hero Squad Line Dead?

clevernamehere — Sat, 29 May 2010 02:31:10 +0000

Every so often a really hot topic comes up on the message board and we’re going to take a minute to highlight some of the better ones when they come up. This week, Teacher of Madness brought up a doozy: Has the Super Hero Squad toy line been sacrificed for wider marketing? Good points have been brought up on all aspects: the SDCC exclusive being targeted at fans of the shows, whether or not we’re currently in a slow-down, the importance of movie sublines, unreleased figures… lots of great points.

Super Hero Squad at Toy Fair

clevernamehere — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 03:37:08 +0000

First off Here’s the Super Hero Squad press photos. You’ll see that most of the press photos are stuff that’s already been released, but finally, a good shot of the Spider-Splasher and Claw Cruiser and of course, the full-sized Helicarrier.

There’s also some new merchandise developments, such as a new Super Hero Squad set featuring molds to shape the Play-Doh, and another of the re-labled Spider-Man and Friends Play-Doh Stampers was paired along with a Wave 1 Iron Man stamper (akin to the way Galactic Heroes stampers feature figures on the lids), and the next few Iron Man Super Hero Squad figures (although unfortunately, there was an issue with getting pictures so you’ll have to wait until one of the other sites can get some posted.

Edit: and don’t forget the SDCC 2010 three pack featuring the Mayor, Iron Man and Doctor Doom in his bathrobe, holding a cup of coffee (from the video game artwork!)

Galactic Heroes AT-AT in 2010

clevernamehere — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:24:08 +0000

JesseVader pointed out that the Galactic Heroes AT-AT has been confirmed for 2010! Now it looks like we need to come up with some more questions for the Hasbro Star Wars Q&A… it’s a tough situation but hopefully you Galactic Heroes fans can help with that dilemma.

From Jedi News

1) The Galactic Heroes AT-AT has been solicited and shown by Hasbro several times over the last few years, including the UK and Canadian Toy Fair last year. When will this awesome product see the light of day (it seems like 2010 would be a great time to tie in with the 30th Anniversary of Empire)?

The Galactic Heroes AT-AT finally will be coming out to retail this Fall, scheduled for availability around August 1st. It’s a really nifty vehicle that is a perfect addition to the cute world of Galactic Heroes.

James – “We saw the final product at the UK Toy Fair and it does indeed look awesome and has some great features too – you’re going to have to wait till the US Toy Fair, in 10 days time, to find out more though… Also, for those in the UK wondering – it WILL be coming here!”
