More Super Hero Squad Hero Up Package Details
Hopefully we’ll have a chance to do a full photo shoot soon, but in the meantime enjoy these quick photos of the difference between the new “Hero Up” package Spider-Man/Electro and Spider-Woman/Hulk sets and their original offerings. As you’ll see, Spider-Man has the most drastic color change, but Electro, Spider-Woman and Hulk are all given a darker paintjob than their original versions.
SHS Electro Packaging Change
In a freshly restocked Target toy aisle I came across the first Super Hero Squad set to use the Hero Up tagline: the Wave 9 Spider-Man/Electro set. A quick search of eBay shows that the Spider-Woman/Hulk and Spider-Man/Venom sets have also been re-packaged with the new tagline (and 2009 copyright language at the bottom of the cardback) but the Spiral and MODOK sets still haven’t surfaced on eBay. Still, MOC and package variant collectors should take note and start shopping. Jump over to the board to discuss.
Edit: After a quick comparison, it does indeed look like Hero Up Electro is darker than the original Wave 9 Electro. No word yet on whether the other two Hero Up re-releases have repaints or not.
