Hasbro's Marvel Comics Q&A: The Answers!
Posted by Curto on May 29, 2009 at 02:00 PM CST:


We've passed on 5 of your burning Marvel Comics questions! So check out the latest scoop we've got for you this all-new, all-different monthly Q&A session with Hasbro.

Cool Toy Review: Are we going to see movie versions of Gambit or Deadpool (Pre operation) in the XOW line? How far do you have plans for this line? I imagine the comics series could on for years, but the movie line seems like it will have a limited appeal, since there's only so many characters in the movie that would translate into cool action figures. Still, it would be cool to see all of Team X from the movie.

Hasbro: You'll see more Wolverine assortments in San Diego. We'll have basic and deluxe figures from the X-Men Origins: Wolverine line and figures from the Wolverine & The X-Men animated series. Stop by the booth to see the full lineup!

Cool Toy Review: Marvel Legends has certainly had a good long run with both Toy Biz and Hasbro bringing out a large number of characters in this scale. From all appearances, it seems that the line is coming to an end in favor of the smaller 3-3/4" scale lines which seem to be very strong sellers (Marvel Universe is selling out consistently!). Are there any characters that you'd like to make before the Legends line officially ends? What are your top 5 characters that you would have liked to have seen in this scale?

Hasbro: There are definitely some faves amongst the team that would fill some meaningful holes in the 6" world: Winter Soldier, Gladiator, Multiple Man, Classic Wonder Man, Stryfe & Warpath to name just a few. Let's throw Brother Voodoo and Constrictor out there for fun as well.

Cool Toy Review: Will we see any civilian figures in the line not in their outfit (i.e. not just helmetless or maskless) like Peter Parker, Tony Stark, etc. We're getting a Mary Jane which is nice but it's well documented these figures don't sell particularly well alone, would an exclulsive or multi-pack ever be considered for something like this?

Hasbro: Considered, yes. But no immediate plans for something like this.

Cool Toy Review: Will we see more females in the Marvel Universe line? (ie Emma Frost, Invisible Woman, Wasp, etc) These are some pretty important characters!

Hasbro: Absolutely! Check out some of the new character reveals for the Universe line at SDCC. There will be plenty of female characters! And villains for that matter!

Cool Toy Review: Will we see season two villains from "The Spectacular Spider-Man" series made into toys, like Mysterio and Kraven?

Hasbro: New Spectacular Spider-Man figures will be shown at San Diego Comic-Con.
