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.
Read on…
So at this time tomorrow, I will be at a Hasbro presentation for their 2009 product coming up, and I will be providing as much accurate coverage as humanly possible. I can’t promise I’ll get everything up first, but I’ll get as much information as I possibly can, the best pictures I possibly can, and provide the insight you’ve come to expect here.
Was that sanctemonious enough? 😉
Anyway, expect tomorrow afternoon to see a wealth of links for Toy Fair 2009 coverage including pictures of Transformers, the Marvel 3 3/4″ line, and of course, tons of G.I. Joe. I’ve had this new blog format for a few months now, and it feels like its working pretty well, I hope the readers feel the same. And if they don’t, I hope they let me know.
Thanks, it’s gonna be a fun weekend! 🙂
As readers of the site no doubt noticed, I’ve become enthralled with the new 1:18 scale Marvel offerings from Hasbro, including the new Wolverine: Origins figures. The great thing about them is that they take the characters that are appearing in the film, and “Marvelize” them, so they appear in their comic-accurate uniforms, even if they don’t appear that way in the film. This, we get figures like Deadpool, Sabretooth, and Gambit, who look relatively generic in promotional pictures, but get their comic-accurate uniforms in the single pack figures (or in Sabretooth’s case, an exclusive two-pack).
I haven’t lucked out enough to stumble on any of these as of yet, but long time friend of GeneralsJoes and JoeBattleLines member “Alexx” comes through with some nice reviews and pictures of three of the figures from Wave 1. Read on!
