Marvel Movieverse
Not reading the message board? Then you’re missing brianregan09′s regular rundown of the Marvel Movieverse (and beyond). Adrian Brody as Doctor Strange or Ant-Man? Punisher in the Marvel Movieverse? Robert Rodriguez on Deadpool? Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw? Darwin in X-Men First Class, but no Mr. Sinister? Branagh on Thor? Riddler in the new Batman movie? How much SHIELD is enough? These are all the things you’ve missed. Now follow that link, get yourself caught up and join in the conversation!
Seriously. How Does Your Collection Rock? ENDS TOMORROW!!!
We’ve let this sort of rest for a while, but since I can only really see two official entries over in the “How Does Your Collection Rock?” forum and the contest ends TOMORROW, I must say it is a sad day when Rumor Busters turn their noses up at FREE TOYS!!!
Let me remind you: All you have to do is tell us why your collection (It can be ANYTHING! No restrictions except maybe cadaver parts, hairy 70′s porn or Hitler memorabilia, and even then, we’re getting desperate…)
We’re playing it pretty fast and loose with word counts and pictures now, so show and tell or just tell, and most of all, WOW us. Moderators are posting collections as well, although their entries do not count.
What’s up for grabs?
First Prize is a kick-butt Wolverine Claw.
Second Prize is a 6 Inch Iron Monger Figure.
Third Prize is a 3.75 Iron Man figure.
These prizes were donated by Hasbro, and we will not be keeping them! They must go!
Pictures and stories are due by March 20, (TOMORROW!!!) 2010 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Once entrants have been collected they will be entered into a poll, where YOU GUYS will decide the winners!!! Voting runs until March 27, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
Get to it!!! Time is running short!
Contest: How Cool is Your Collection?
This post is stickied. Regular news updates continue after this post.
The Story: A little while back, the fine folks of Hasbro passed along a box of swag to pass along.
The Question: What do we do with it?

Super Hero Squad and Action League Galleries updated
These weekend gallery updates are getting to be a semi-regular thing. This week, we have Brave and the Bold Action League Wave 2 (Green Arrow, Sportsmaster, Ocean Master, B’wana Beast and Metamorpho… I mean Rex Mason the Element Man) and the Gentleman Ghost/Batman/Horse set (including a shot of the glow-in-the-dark plastic at work)
Next up, we have Super Hero Squad Wolverine Wave 3, featuring the Wolverine Evolution and X-Cutioner’s Song sets.
And of course, there’s comparison shots to help the collector’s out. X-Cutioner’s Song Wolverine and the Wave 7 Psylocke/Wolverine figures, the three current iterations of the first Cyclops figure, and even the X-Men Movie Costume Wolverine and the Ultimate Wolverine figures, shot 1, shot 2, and shot 3.
In a related note, here’s a quick comparison of the flame trail for the Avengers Super City Iron Man and the Secret Invasion Iron Man. You’ll notice that the only easily discernible difference is the detail and number of lines in the vapor trail.
X-Men Origins Wolverine gets the start of a small update, with a shot of Colossus from the Wolverine/Colossus deluxe set, but the battery needs to charge before we can finish that particular photo shoot. Rest assured though, he’s HUGE compared to the XOW Wolverine figures.
As always, feel free to join us on the board for discussion!
Raining and Pouring: New Release Maniau
It seems like no matter what toy line you’re into, there’s been a recent release to make you happy. First off, starting with Scifigenre’s now sold out listing of Super Hero Squad Wolverine’s X-Cutioner’s Song and Wolverine Evolutions set (which are still available on sites like Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toy Store if you head over), and coupled with sightings of Wave 15 at Walmarts and Targets all over, (and in stock at Toywiz), Super Hero Squad fans have plenty to enjoy.
Marvel Universe fans will note that Wave 2 of Secret Wars comic packs, including Cyclops, Magneto and the Julia Carpenter (Arachne) Spider-Woman are popping up, with Big Bad Toy Store featuring the Cyclops/Hulk and Spider-Man/Magneto sets currently in stock. They’ve also got cases of Wave 4, featuring the new Colossus, in stock.
Then Brave and the Bold Action League fans will note that Wave 2 of the 2-packs is out so collectors can gobble up Batman paired with Metamorpho, B’wanna Beast and Ocean Master, or the Green Arrow/Sportsmaster 2-pack. We snagged all four at Target, so hopefully photos will be up this Saturday.
