Super Hero Squad at Toy Fair
First off Here’s the Super Hero Squad press photos. You’ll see that most of the press photos are stuff that’s already been released, but finally, a good shot of the Spider-Splasher and Claw Cruiser and of course, the full-sized Helicarrier.
There’s also some new merchandise developments, such as a new Super Hero Squad set featuring molds to shape the Play-Doh, and another of the re-labled Spider-Man and Friends Play-Doh Stampers was paired along with a Wave 1 Iron Man stamper (akin to the way Galactic Heroes stampers feature figures on the lids), and the next few Iron Man Super Hero Squad figures (although unfortunately, there was an issue with getting pictures so you’ll have to wait until one of the other sites can get some posted.
Edit: and don’t forget the SDCC 2010 three pack featuring the Mayor, Iron Man and Doctor Doom in his bathrobe, holding a cup of coffee (from the video game artwork!)
Toy Fair 2010
Hey guys, we’re still getting the coverage for Toy Fair 2010 ready, but in the meantime, check out the Marvel Universe and Super Hero Squad side of things, and a peak at the Super Hero Squad Quinjet, SHIELD Flying Car and Helicarrier. Oh, and did we mention the slide featuring Super Hero Squad Captain Marvel/Thanos, a new Doctor Strange/Iron Man and Falcon/Hulk? Because Hasbro omitted it from their press shots, didn’t have them on display and told us not to bother taking photos during the slide-show since they’d make the photos available. Still, awesomeness. Head over to the board to get talking!

Super Hero Squad Season 2 News
Comics Continuum has some new news about the second season of Super Hero Squad! The Scarlet Witch returns, and Thanos is the big bad for the season, while we get to meet the Squadron Supreme, including Hyperion and Princess Power. Meanwhile, Marvel Animation Age is reporting that Nova (the New Warrior and sometime Human Rocket) will also be appearing. Head over to the Rumor Buster Message Board to discuss!
Iron Man 2 Super Hero Squad Revealed
Floridaboy68 managed to score the motherlode: Iron Man 2 Wave 1 at a Toys R Us! Armor Wars Part 1 features Iron Man, War Machine and a comic-styled Iron Monger, Armor Wars Part 2 features a new version of Crimson Dynamo (featuring the more classic shoulder gear style), horned-helmet Iron Man and a Titanium Man repaint, while Armor Evolutions features a collection of movie styled armors, specifically Iron Man Mark I, Mark II and Mark III. Head over to the Rumor Buster message board to discuss!
Iron Man 2 Super Hero Squad Figures!
Iron Man 2 Super Hero Squad figures are hitting eBay! So far only a repaint of the Iron Man Movie Mark I figure, a new War Machine Sculpt and the previously seen pointy-helmet Iron Man figures have been seen, but as everyone knows, convention season is right around the corner so plenty of new figures will be showing up soon!
Super Hero Squad Wave 18 Out!
Big Bad Toy Store is charging cards, Entertainment Earth has cases in stock, Sci-Fi Genre had them in stock (and then sold out)… but yes, Super Hero Squad Wave 18 is racing towards fans all over. Soon we will all know the greatest of a comic styled Abomination, a long-awaited Scarlet Witch, and of course, every Super Hero Squad Show fan’s favorite Reptil!
Super Hero Squad Doom’s Castle and X-Men Danger Room
Hasbro’s released some press shots of the recently released Super Hero Squad Battle for Doom’s Castle and the final version of the X-Men Danger Room playset. Eagle eyed readers will, of course, be able to count the differences between the original Danger Room press photo, and the new press photo. Of course, conversation is always welcome over on the Rumor Buster message board.
Super Hero Squad Wave 18
Cool Toy Review has pictures up of Super Hero Squad Wave 18! Head over there to finally see Scarlet Witch, the Abomination, the new Doctor Doom Sculpt (not the Doom’s Castle one!), the new Thor and Spider-Man (with a webshield!)
New Super Hero Squad and Spider-Man Video Games?
We’re still looking into this, but Mark Hoffmeier, writer of several episodes for the Super Hero Squad Show, lists two interesting bits on his LinkedIn page (three bits if you include the fact that he’s writing episodes for the previously mentioned Super Hero Squad second season):
WRITER, Activision’s SPIDER-MAN: Chronicles game for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii.
WRITER, THQ – Marvel’s Super Hero Squad Game and SHS #2 Game for the Wii and DS.
So this is the first we’ve heard of Spider-Man: Chronicles, and a second Super Hero Squad game, but we’re definitely excited. Hopefully Spider-Man: Chronicles can build on some pretty solid past Spider-Man games, while the Super Hero Squad franchise has room to grow as shown by the 50% to 60% aggregate ratings (depending on the platform). Head on over to the message board to join the discussion!
