hellpop Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 These might just make me cry: Just gotta hope there's enough of them to go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 SDCC Exclusive! They all have the new articulation, so it's a must buy for me! *drool* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Great Scott! That is a freaking beautiful set! Bright character designs. Villains. Obscure Villains even. Nicely executed figures! Lord - i hope this is a sign of things to come from Hasbro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Slacker Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I only have two Marvel Universe figures but that Baron Zemo figure just looks so awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 So, how do I get these if i'm not at SDCC? Is there a club Marvel U club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 hasbrotoyshop.com sells the exclusives sometime after the con, but stuff like this goes quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Yeah, basically you pay an inflated price on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Yup. This is where Mattel succeeds. You can guarantee their exclusives will last for at least an hour there, and you get a set date and time. Hasbro is a crapshoot and their stuff is gone in 5 minutes. God forbid you try to get a GI Joe exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 The SDCC exclusive Hellicarrier looks awesome, but I'm laughing to myself while picturing people toting this thing around SDCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 That's awesome and horrible that that's the only way to get Maria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpiderX Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'm tempted to buy it for my mates. I would look like a dork walking around with it though. And I'm not sure it would fit in my suitcase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'd like to think that because the head is so Cobie Smulders and the buck is from Widow (since Cap uses the Cap Series buck, obviously they have other bucks available) that we might see a retail movie Hill some time. Of course, I also like to think that Hasbro exclusives will be available for more than two minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 This just showed up on MarvelousNews.com I wouldn't have minded the set at all if a) i hadn't already gone out and found Sinister & A-poc or it had all the important characters from early X-Factor EXCEPT for beast Still - that Angel is calling to me. . . . what's a boy to do? EDIT: I actually kinda dig that they've gone to the trouble of giving Iceman his power-belt like DST did in their X-Factor set. I don't think it's enough of a variant for me to desperately want it - but it's nice to see that they are paying attention. EDIT EDIT: It looks as if they've gone for the same costume line-up as DST's X-Factor set actually. Maybe looking at the X_Factor minimates was their research.

I desperately hope it becomes available in the U.S. Edit: If this turns up in Australia, Nessex, would you mind picking one up for me? *bats eyelashes* Also, about that super helicarrier...is it part of the Avengers movie toy line or the MU toy line?

Of course, I also like to think that Hasbro exclusives will be available for more than two minutes. Yea, it's interesting they went to all the work to make it resemble the actress just for the con. Then again, it may be something they were planning to put in the line, canceled it, and that's how it became a con exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 For serious? Hey, let's make a six pack to focus on a team that had five members and only include four of them and two villains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamfleet Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 yea, that set is a tad frustrating. I have to pass, because I have the first class cyclops and jean. While I dont have gambit/sinister yet, I plan to get that. Red angel and iceman look good, and I dont have an apocalypse. So it's like.. 50/50 not enough to warrant it. And of course, astonishing beast doesn't do anything for me, so, perfect chance to do another beast. I can't imagine making a non-hairy beast is difficult. They could cannibalize him from other bucks and parts. No need for a new mold. Namor feet, ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 To be fair, DST did the SAME thing with Angel. I mean, they didn't put a Sinister in his place, but still. Beast would have needed to be an entire new sculpt, they don't have a stocky mold yet, furry or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I don't think DST did the same thing (twice) by leaving out a character because all of their packs are now 4 figures while MU went with 6. I understand them not having a large buck to use, but I'm sure they could have come up with something (maybe Skaar's?). It just seems poorly done and I feel the chances of ever seeing a single carded X-Factor Beast are pretty slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamfleet Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I did a mock up of first appearance beast http://imgur.com/D4WB7 Yea, it's pretty terrible shop. Really, I feel they have the parts. I use forearms from absorbing man, feet from namor. The only reason I used cyclops body was really for the uniform. You could make it any color. Absorbing mans upper body might work well. Maybe it's not as exaggerated as people would like, but it seems somewhat doable without a new mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Only the Iceman and Angel look like must haves. Screamfleet I can get you an Apocalypse if you need one for cost & shipping. PM if interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 They came to the same conclusion I did. Seriously, who's going to want to tug this thing around in the midst of 10,000 people when there's a good chance you can just order from HTS later? I'd even be surprised if there aren't reports of this minus Maria Hill being ditched at the con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamfleet Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Why is the box that big?! Seems like it's twice the size of the regular release http://geek-news.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/img_5021.jpg And I'm not dying for an apocalypse. I might get the x-factor set after all.
