Toy companies generally don't make stuff that hasn't been ordered by a retailer. Or have you forgotten the entire point of Toy Fair?

Hey guys, I was wondering about the new female buck. Do the upper arms heat up and pop off from the torso or do they have the internal swivel that needs to have the torso cracked? The upper torso doesn't seem to have a seam to crack, but the shoulder joint seems pretty fragile to be pulling on. Thanks

As you noted in the second post, the OLD buck has to be split open to get the arms out. Also, you're doing exactly what I do, to add the elbow swivel to those arms.

The NEW buck though - despite it's many flaws - is injection molded, meaning you can boil and pop the shoulder and the elbow both. Even the upper torso from the lower.

If I remember though, the shoulder peg still has enough meat on it you can use it on other figures too, with only slight modding. There's a chance I'm wrong on that last point, but it is my memory.

I have had some store information on some upcoming Marvel Infinite figures for a couple of weeks now, and I've been waiting for someone else to post this, but so far nothing. So I guess I'll "decloak" from lurking.

This is store information, complete with UPCs, so I'm hoping that this will all prove to be true since all except for the new Spider-man figure are pretty essential for a real Marvel collection. But, I don't work for Hasbro and have no connection with their company, so I can't verify further.

There will be two more Marvel Universe figures getting repacked:
B0713 Daredevil UPC 63050928474
B0712 Hawkeye UPC 63050928475

Then there are seven new figures, two of which are variants (as in Blastaar and "blasting" Blastaar).

One of the new figures is yet another Spider-man:
B0706 Big Time Spider-man UPC 63050928481

Okay, here's the thing -- I really don't have any more faith in Hasbro than most of the rest of you. I'm not expecting them to show much of anything for 3.75 Marvel Infinite at SDCC. In fact this wave that I have the scoop on may be it, the way things have been lately, so I don't want to spoil the "big reveal."

One of the new figures is, finally,
B0710 Blue Beast UPC 63050928477
with a variant B0711 Grey Beast UPC 63050928476.

That leaves three more figures (four if you include the variant of one of those three) that I'll let someone else reveal. One is X-men related, the other two are part of the Spidey-verse.
