Animated Iron Man in May!
May 4th is going to be a good day for fans of 1990’s Marvel Animation! Both Volume 5 of X-Men, wrapping up the well loved series, and the complete Iron Man series (and responsible for a whole generation of kids knowing Julia Carpenter as Spider-Woman, the Mandarin as a green alien, and MODOK as a weird creepy floating head) get releases sure to make many people happy! While I agree, they could definitely benefit from some added features (and better encodings in some cases), given the number of years we’ve been waiting, at this point we’ll take what we can get.

Clanure has started a thread on the board about the recent dry spell between news and releases on… well… just about every toy line anyone collects! Join in if you’ve noticed the dry spell too.
Masters of the Universe Classics Mer-Man sells out in under an hour, for the second time. Collectors that were shut out still mad. I’ve only been locked out of one figure so far, and I fear it’ll happen again, but some people have had worse luck than me. Note to Mattel, the e-commerce server hosting your site just can’t handle the order onslaught. The sooner the figures sell out, the more people feel rushed to rush your site, thus more of an order onslaught. Finding a new e-commerce solution might go a long way to fixing the ill-will.
X-Men Origins Wolverine Cyclops and Iceman figures are apparently hitting stores on the West Coast now. Great news for Marvel Universe fans looking to boost tiher X-Men contingent, bad news for people that hate the leg joints.
TV Shows On DVD has the Hulk-centric cover art for the next volume of Wolverine and the X-Men.
They’ve also apparently got some some-what leaked pencil art for the third volume of the original X-Men animated series DVDs.
