New 3 3/4 Inch Marvel Universe Line...

Macross-Junkie · 02-19-2009, 04:53 PM

I've always been a fan of the Marvel Legends line, even when the property was still owned by ToyBiz. But when I heard Hasbro was discontinuing the 6 Inch Marvel Legends line for a 3 3/4 Inch line I was a little upset. That was, until I actually saw them. I was at Toys R Us today and they had the 3 3/4 Inch Marvel Universe and Wolverine figures in stock, and I must say, they really are well detailed. I just wanted to see who else might pick up this new line...

I might pick and choose although there are already a boat load of exclusives to various retailers with Tier 1 characters that has me a bit anxious.

Macross-Junkie · 02-19-2009, 05:05 PM

I did a lot of picking and choosing with the Marvel Legends line, and I'll probably do the same with these as well. As long as they give me the figures to build an 80's X-Men team I'll be happy. So far they've already come out with the first figure for me to start building my team, and that's a Classic Wolverine in the Wolverine Movie line...

I might grab the occasional single carded fig, but you can bet your sweet cheeks I'll be getting all 12 of the Secret Wars comic packs:

What is upsetting is that the Captain America in general release is the Ultimates version and the only way the get the standard at least at first is to get the Secret Wars pack

I'm kinda hoping that I'll only need to get the 2 packs in order to have a nice set of all the major charaters (Cap, Spidey, IM, Hulk, Thor, Wolvie, ect.) and not really worry about being nickle and dimed by the single card releases.

I hope this trend continues next year with some more mini series, like Infinity Gauntlet, rather than just some random issues like with the Star Wars and Joes packs.

I never heard about these two-packs... Sweet! My favourite Marvel storyline from the 80's... Just hopefully they won't offer a Beyonder Disco version from the sequel.
