[New post] Marvelous news from the 2011 Toy Fair

Marvelous news from the 2011 Toy Fair

Hasbro's Marvel Universe line of action figures has continued to impress collectors since its inception three years ago. The reduced scale means that the company can afford to take risks with less popular characters such as Spider-Man 2099 and Doc Sam(p)son while expanding its range into the near limitless variety of tiny plastic men.

News comes from the fantastic repository of all things Marvel, MarvelousNews.com, that the coming year will be a continuation of greatness included one or two of my own personal favorites.

MARVEL UNIVERSE 3.75" Action Figures
(Approximate Retail Price: $7.99; Ages 4 & up; Available: Now)
The MARVEL UNIVERSE 3.75" ACTION FIGURE line is continuing in 2011 with its exceptional articulation, poseability, and spot-on design. This year's lineup of great classic characters from the MARVEL COMICS universe features heroes and villains from various comic book storylines, including WORLD WAR HULK, SPIDER-MAN 2099, WOLVERINE and CABLE. Fans can update their collections with the latest and greatest from Hasbro! Each figure sold separately.

MARVEL UNIVERSE 3.75" MULTI PACKS
(Approximate Retail Price: $22.99; Ages 4 & up; Available Fall 2011)
The MARVEL UNIVERSE 3.75" MULTI PACKS assemble your favorite SUPER HERO teams from the MARVEL COMICS universe. In 2011, Hasbro is introducing these new figure 3 packs, including THE CLASSIC AVENGERS, and THE UNCANNY X-FORCE. Packs sold separately.

MARVEL UNIVERSE COMIC 2-PACKS
(Approximate Retail Price: $14.99; Ages 4 & up; Available: Now)
Each MARVEL UNIVERSE COMIC 2-PACK includes a reprint of an iconic MARVEL COMIC and two unique MARVEL UNIVERSE 3.75" Action Figures specific to that story. Look for SPIDER-MAN WITH CAPTAIN BRITAIN and POWER MAN WITH IRON FIST, new in Spring 2011! Each pack sold separately.

MARVEL HANDFUL OF HEROES ASSORTMENT
(Approximate Retail Price: $4.99; Ages: 4 & up; Available: Now)
The ultimate battle of good and evil are right in the palm of your hand! This set of micro-sized molded figures comes with eight heroes and one super secret figure that will be a mystery until you tear open the package!

MARVEL UNIVERSE – MASTERWORKS SENTINEL WITH WOLVERINE
(Approximate Retail Price: $49.99; Ages 4 & up; Available: Fall 2011)
This lumbering giant means business! One of the biggest, baddest villains in the MARVEL UNIVERSE is here and he's ready to take out the X-Men! THE SENTINEL measures a monstrous 16 inches tall and is packed with electronic features including a huge bank of battle sounds. Also includes a 3.75" WOLVERINE figure so that you can stage the 1st battle as soon as you open the box! Requires three "AAA" batteries, included.
