While it’s not as cool as Clanure’s Combat Heroes Wave 3 update, we’ve put gray Hulk into the Marvel Universe Wave 2 gallery, Battle for Metropolis Lex Luthor and Luthor Trooper are in the DC Infinite Heroes Exclusives gallery, with Lex and Trooper comparison shots, and Movie Deadpool, Victor Creed and Wolverine are up in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine Gallery.

Pictures of Infinite Heroes Batman 34 (the “DC Universe” one, with the classic yellow bat-logo), Marvel Universe Wave 2′s Green Hulk, and a series of comparison shots (MU Hulk and Wolverine, MU Hulk and Super Hero Squad Hulk) are up at the gallery, joining the Wolverine Super Hero Squad setDoom of the Dark Beast pictures that Clanure put up earlier today and the City in Crisis Spider-Man that went up over the weekend. This brings the gallery up to almost 2850 original photos, and almost 12,500 image views… not bad since back in November we were hoping to hit 600 views!

Marvel Universe Wave 2 and More in the Gallery

The gallery finally topped 10,000 image views but that’s not stopping us from adding Green Goblin, Ronin, Ultimate Captain America and Iron Fist from Marvel Universe Wave 2 to the gallery. Stealth Iron Man from MU Wave 1, and Maverick from X-Men Origins Wolverine are also up.

But that’s not all! Clanure has pictures of Green Goblin (from City in Crisis) and Falcon (from Winter Soldier Saga) in Four Packs Wave 3.

And there’s even an update in the Visitor’s Gallery! Not sure who the creative individual or individuals was or were, but check out their SHS Movie posters, and a few new avatars for the message board!

Marvel Universe’s Big Bang

December 19th, 2008 Comments Off Posted in Uncategorized

As promised, Hasbro updated the Marvel page with news of waves 2 and 3 of Marvel Universe.

Wave 2

  • Captain America (who looks pretty Ultimate with those boots and the lack of earwings)
  • Green Goblin
  • Green Hulk
  • Gray Hulk
  • Ronin
  • Iron Fist
    and Wave 3

  • a new Punisher (black gloves and the rocket launcher is black as opposed to the gray one shown in Toyark’s review
  • Black Costume Spider-Man
  • the Thing
  • and a classic costume Iron Man (3 waves in and we have just as many Iron Men?

    Go enjoy the carded pictures and remember to save your pennies because these guys are coming quick and looking at the “fish scales” on Green Goblin, the veins on Hulk, Captain America’s chain mail… these figures are really putting the pressure on Infinite Heroes 1-body-fits-all mentality. And another thing, Mattel… look at Ronin’s swords or Green Goblin’s pumpkin bomb… I give you a lot of slack when it comes to not including accessories with figures, but when an accessory is necessary for the character, make it look good! You guys can do so much better than Green Arrow’s gooey, bendy bow!
