Wave 6 Variants
Our thanks goes to member WeaponEversor for the tip about ComicFigs having pictures of MU wave 6 variants!
Apparently there are/are going to be variants/running changes for both Vision and Warpath!
Here you can see Warpath in his normal X-Men uniform (rather than the non-variant X-Force uniform)!
And here you can see the clear, phasing Vision variant!
Both are awesome additions to the MU line! Head over to the board to discuss it!
He Hungers…
As I’m sure many people are aware, MU wave 6 has been hitting shelves all around the nation. What you may not be aware of is that Hasbro hid (in plain sight) a teaser of sorts on the cardback for House of M Spider-Man (aka Series 2 Figure 001). If you were lucky enough to look carefully at the cardback of Spider-Man, then you may already know what I’m talking about. For those of you who just ripped open your figure without looking very close at the cardback, let me explain.
Spider-Man cardback
Here’s the cardback. Doesn’t look too out of the ordinary on first glance, but if you look in the upper right corner where it says the figure number…
He hungers...
You can clearly see that above the figure number it says “he hungers…”. I checked all the other figures for wave 6 and Spider-Man was the only one that said this!
Now, I know that here at The Rumor Buster we’re not supposed to start or help spread rumors…but no one said anything about healthy speculation.
So, let’s speculate. Now, we know that there is a Galactus figure that Hasbro is planning to release which is 19″ tall and will have electronics in it. We know this because at the Hasbro Marvel panel at SDCC ’09 the Hasbro reps said, “…it will have electronics in it so you’ll be able to hear your Galactus speak.” Another panelist then promptly said, “I hunger…” for the Galactus figure.
The cardback clearly says “he hungers…” which leads me think that they’re alluding to Galactus (since he is famously known for being hungry) with this cryptic message. When asked (in various Q&As) about the Galactus figure shown at Comic-Con, Hasbro has been very guarded about its details.
So, do you think that Galactus will be released sometime this year? If so, will he be in a normal Gigantic Battles pack or will he be some sort of exclusive? Whatever your opinion, come talk about it on the board!
Marvel Universe Wave 6
The ever awesome Msmarvel let us know that Marvelousnews has shots of Marvel Universe Wave 6 (or 2010 Wave 1 as they’re calling it). House of M Spider-Man, Warpath, Jean Grey (in her oft-requested 90′s Gold Team Jim Lee era costume), Wolverine (also in a 90′s era X-Men costume straight off Uncanny X-Men 275 and his recent Marvel Legends 2-pack figure), Vision and a classic looking Sunfire. As always, discussion is always welcome on the Marvel Universe Message Board.
