Super Hero Squad Official Photo Madness

March 19th, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Super Hero Squad

There’s a whole slew of new official Super Hero Squad photos out there, and some are more interesting than others. For instance, Spider-Man’s Web Wheels is the newest vehicle. Then we have Wolverine/Silver Samurai in Hero Up Packaging, as well as the Vulture/Spider-Man set. Perhaps most important is the Secret Wars and Secret Invasion sets, indicating that maybe the four packs aren’t as dead as once thought. Head over to the Super Hero Squad message board to discuss

New Super Hero Squad Cruisers and The Battle For Doom’s Castle!

November 30th, 2009 Comments Off Posted in Hasbro Heroes, Super Hero Squad

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!

SHS Secret Invasion, Secret Wars, CP3 in the Gallery

August 24th, 2009 Comments Off Posted in Super Hero Squad

Another major gallery update has just been completed! The good news is the gallery has passed 35,000 views and with 4850 images, we’ll be breaking the 5,000 image barrier soon. The better news is what we just put up!

Collector’s Pack 3 is up first, and includes Falcon comparisons, Emma Frost comparisons and a comparison of the Spider-Man/Scorpion, Spider-Man/Daredevil and CP3 Spider-Man figures.

Pictures of the Repulsor Racer and Hero Helicopter are up too, including a demonstration of some of the Hero Helicopter’s features.

But you’re a discriminating reader and you demand more! Secret Invasion and Secret Wars are now in the gallery too. Thrill to the Hawkeye comparison shot! Wondering what’s different between Wave 1, Winter Soldier and Secret Wars Captain Americas? Curious to see Doctor Strange astrally project? Which Skrull Soldier is tougher? What’s different between the Collector’s Pack 3 Mr. Fantastic, Secret Invasion Reed, and the unreleased Mega Pack Wave 4 Mr. Fantastic? Of course, you can always just enjoy a great new Spider-Man sculpt, or the Wrecker.

And just for fun, here’s a taste of the Ultimate Hulk/Ultimate Wolverine mega-pack that never was, and an Ultimate Universe group shot.

Phew. And of course, discussion is always welcome on the message board.

Marvel Universe Super Hero Squad Galleries Updated

August 17th, 2009 Comments Off Posted in Marvel, Marvel Universe, Super Hero Squad

While it’s not as big an update as I had hoped for, an update is an update. First off, for Marvel Universe we’ve got the Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends Toys R Us 3-pack up, and Secret Wars Comic Packs 1-3. More importantly, we’ve got a few comparison shots, like Spider-Men from Wave 1 through Amazing Friends, Amazing Friends Iceman versus X-Men Origins Wolverine Iceman, and Wave 1 Wolverine versus Secret Wars Wolverine.

Following that, we’ve got Super Hero Squad Cruisers Wave 2 photos and comparisons. This wave continues the background Easter Eggs of Wave 1, showing off guest appearances by Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, the Baxter Building, and the latest Stark Industries armors. Comparisons of Wave 5 and Cruisers Wave 2 Thor (Hero Helicopter Thor has a more golden boot color) and Ultimate Captain America (which has a darker red shield) figures, while Repulsor Racer Iron Man goes up against the Fin Fang Foom/Mega Pack Iron Man (Repulsor Racer Iron Man has a green tint to the yellow armor and a darker shade of red), while Astonishing X-Men Cyclops has an obvious color change.

So there you go, hopefully that solves some burning repaint/repack questions and if not, hopefully it keeps you busy until the next time we update the gallery, which, by the way, recently celebrated its 30,000th image view (and that doesn’t count viewing gallery images through the wiki), and is nearing 5,000 pictures! As always, you can head over to the board for more discussion on Marvel Universe, Super Hero Squad, and all things in general.
