Hasbro's Marvel Comics Q&A: The Answers!
Posted by Curto on March 30, 2010 at 11:38 AM CST:


We've passed on 3 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: Back in the 12/17/09 ActionFigurePics.com's Hasbro Marvel Q&A, when asked about the possibility of an online release program for Marvel Legends figures, Hasbro said this: "We are always looking at ways and options to get the Legends figures into the hands of fans. Plans are being made and we will announce them soon." Now that nearly 4 months have passed, could Hasbro update the Marvel Legends community on the status of these plans and announcement?

Hasbro: Giving our fans the best product possible takes time. Plans are still underway and will be announced at a later date.

Cool Toy Review: Does the Hasbro Marvel Team have any plans to move the overwhelming amount of Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Wolverine MU figures that are clogging the pegs? It seems that many stores have full pegs of these figures that aren't selling and are preventing new stock from making it to the floor. And branching off from that, will Hasbro adjust future case assortments to get a better ratio of these figures mixed in so that the same problem doesn't occur again? Especially with two of these characters having their own dedicated lines.

Hasbro: The entire Marvel Universe line is selling very well and we are always adjusting the ratios to give consumers and retailers the best options possible.

Cool Toy Review: There have been a number of running changes/variants in the 2009 Marvel Universe line that have gone unannounced (Spider-Man, The Thing, Johnny Storm, Bullseye), some that were revealed but haven't appeared yet (Ronin), and from what we saw at Toy Fair, some that are coming (Vision, Ms. Marvel). While it is "fun" to discover them on the pegs, it is also very frustrating for collectors who are "all in" to not know they are coming, because now the collection is no longer complete. Such fans may consider dropping the line because we must have them all.

Can you give us a full list of all the running changes/variants that were in 2009, and better yet, give us a hint at some that are coming? This would really go a long way to help collectors plan their budgets accordingly.


Hasbro: We are always thinking of new ways to broaden the scope of Marvel Universe. And we like to cater to collectors young and old. This is a great idea for us to explore in the future. Thanks!

Dan's Note: Ummm....YeahbuhWHAT? Not sure how this actually answers the question that was sent. For collectors that are looking for an up-to-date checklist of all things Marvel Universe, look no further than our own menu. (Drop me a line if there's anything missing.)
