Man, is it a great time to be a geek or what? As a childhood toy and comic book freak, who would have thought that summers in my 30’s would be spent enjoying (for the most part) Hollywood’s take on those super heroes and supernatural characters that shaped my imagination back then. But honestly I’m not sure there’s been a better slate of geek-flicks than what’s shaping up this year. This is gonna be a blast! Keep reading for trailers, clips, and my unwelcome opinions…
While I have no plans nor intentions to be a news site related to Marvel toys, I figure since I linked to a post about the movie Deadpool figure at MarvelousNews.com yesterday, I might as well post a follow up, because a poster on ToyArk.com scored some MUCH better pictures of this figure. Once again I’ll put pics after the break so as not to spoil anything.
Along with pics, I’ll post my thoughts, too.
Hmm…this would appear to be a strange development. To date the only Deadpool figures anyone has seen has been ones influenced by the comic book look. I would imagine Fox is trying to keep spoilers to a bare minimum, so they have well-concealed this figure to date. But a poster from MarvelousNews has revealed that he found a movie-themed Deadpool figure on store shelves that is quite the departure from his comic look.
It’s an interesting appearance. I actually really like how the figure looks, even though it doesn’t look like any Deadpool I recognize. I’m not sure I’ll buy him, but it’s a cool figure, nonetheless. Check out the original thread here.
I’m posting the figures after the “break” so as not to reveal any spoilers for folks who don’t want to know what the movie Deadpool might end up looking like.
Hasbro continues to reveal more of their 2009 product line at Toy Fair with new images of Astonishing X-Men Cyclops, Iceman, and a maskless Wolverine!
Thanks to Toy News International for the info, and head over to MarvelousNews.com to check out the pics.
It would seem as if Hasbro is really pressing forward with the 3 3/4″ movement, and Marvel is coming along for the ride. I’ve captured pictures and press images of all Marvel 1:18 figures and gear, and will be hosting them all in various galleries within this post.

HissTank member Paco was able to attend IDW’s panel today at NYCC and has a pretty thorough report here.
Looks like lots of things are planned… I’m really looking forward to the “Spotlight” issues (those have been pretty enjoyable on the Tranformers side of things). It sounds to me like G.I. Joe: COBRA is going to still be the highlight to me…I’m really looking forward to how they do this book.
No Serpentor planned is all gravy. 😉
