Exactly my feelings.

Meh. Going by the pegs here, MU was cancelled two years ago.

I'm mostly hoping they include various incarnations of the Avengers, so I can score a Spiderman and a Wolverine also.




going strictly by the Wolverine line currently, would it matter if they did? But yeah, I'd expect MU as Avengers while an X-men movie is out with it's own line, then vice versa the next year. Which makes some sense. I just won't care much about the movie part unless they return to 1st Wolvie or even Cap level of production.

Dwight Stall, isn't he the guy that gave us the horrible JvC crap? Hasbro must not be done promoting him to his level of incompetence yet.

I just want to know if "Days" will get a movie based toyline since "First Class" didn't. The TRU comic packs for FC do not count since they had nothing to do with the film.

So, are both Cloak and Dagger in the case, or is one a variant? If it's the former, that's acceptable. If it is the latter, that would really suck, since it's just not cool to have Cloak without Dagger and vice versa.

So they are changing the name of the line, and focusing on characters that are already lingering at retail.

All of a sudden Hasbro's comment last year about the line getting easier to find at retail... is starting to make sense.




Assuming that this move doesn't kill the line before it makes it to 2015, that is.



Someone at Hasbro is either a blithering buffoon, or a genius.
2014 : X-Men movie in the theaters - toy line focuses on the Avengers
2015 : Avengers 2 in the theaters - toy line focuses on the X-Men

If they have movie lines for both films, then I would lean more towards the genius angle.
If they do not have movie lines, then someone needs fired.

Going by the BBTS listing and what I read on Fwoosh; order the case now and get one, then order the revision case later to get the other. There's five figs pictured but you'll note the verbiage says four.

that was kind of the thought I had also. If there is a movie line for Avengers in 2015, for example, having the MU line focus on X-Men might help alleviate the over-saturation of similar product.

And, we can still hope that the Avengers title for a year still produces characters beyond the obvious choices.

there's a LOT of Avengers and Avengers-related heroes and villains tjat haven't gotten figures yet so a year of toys dedicated to Avenger characters could fill some big gaps. The Leader is a good start, he should have been in the Marvel Universe line but that figure looks worth the wait. Sure there will be plenty of main Avengers in the line too that we have lots of figures already but IMO Falcon and Widow figs are welcome upgrades to the crap MU figures too

I want a boxed set of the other Captain Marvel iterations besides the ken doll version from the MU line. Maybe this A line will allow for that... though I know I'm dreaming. (I especially want the Secret Wars-era Marvel. The cosmos looking version would be an awesome figure)

Those new figures look sweet. Definitely want Omega Red. Can never have enough villains.

Since it is the internet, I will mention a complaint...not big on the whole running change figure where you'd clearly want both. Why would I get Cloak but not Dagger? Aurora but not Northstar?

Been waiting on that Black Knight for years.

I'll get the twins for my Alpha Flight Team - but I guess I'll go ahead and finish my Snowbird and Shaman customs now...

And yeah - if they're doing the running change thing for the duos - eff that.

The running change thing worked pretty well for the first couple waves of the return of ML, but its never been great for MU. Guess we'll see. .

alpha flight and black knight and cloak and dagger, I would like these please.
