Super Hero Squad’s “Cosmic” Playset
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.
The Battle for Doom’s Castle up for pre-order
Entertainmentearth is listing the newest Super Hero Squad playset, the Battle for Doom’s Castle as a January pre-order. Eagle-eyed fans will remember that this is the set with the newest Doctor Doom sculpt, making it the first playset to give us more than just a repaint. While this is a trend fans of the playsets may enjoy, others may be put off at the thought of paying $20 for the first Doctor Doom released since Super Hero Squad Wave 3
New Super Hero Squad Cruisers and The Battle For Doom’s Castle!
I posted this earlier in the day at the forum, but didn’t have a chance to front page it until now: Basically, Taobao has an auction listing for a new Super Hero Squad Cruiser, this time, Wolverine’s Claw Cruiser. It’s a new format for the vehicles, featuring a carded bubble rather than the previous style boxes, and only one figure instead of two. It’s a repaint of the Racers, but for fans of the vehicles and those looking to build their fleet, it’s good news!
And in other news, we finally know that the new Doctor Doom Sculpt is going to be included in the Battle for Doom’s Castle, the next folding playset. Feel free to discuss this over on the board!
