The Rumor Buster

Marvel Universe News Rundown

There’s a couple new developments in the Marvel Universe world this week to keep everyone hunting!

First, the Power Man/Iron Fist and Spider-Man/Captain Britain comic packs are out and have been sighted by Toyark members.

And as Jabalong and Brian point out, people in Manilla have already started finding Marvel Universe Wave 16 featuring Tony Stark Iron Man, Iceman, Absorbing Man, Astonishing Wolverine and Magneto (or should it be Ultimate Magneto?)

And then Marvelousnews points out that the Toys R Us Avengers Assemble sets have been spotted.  At $20, for what so far looks to be repaints that each come with an identical stand, the complete set of 8 needed to make the light-up “SHIELD” stand will set you back $160, not counting tax.  The back shows Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, “Bucky Cap”, while MN speculates that Wave 2 is Steve Rogers Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Black Panther.  Good guesses since we see a bow, a shield and a big-haired lady, but the thin silhouette of the remaining character doesn’t quite look like the Panther to me.  No cape means no Vision, but maybe Spider-Man?  Hopefully we’ll find out soon.
