Store Reports: Marvel Toys

— April 9, 2006

The new series of Spider-man action figures are showing up at Wal-Marts all over the country. They hit the local stores here this weekend. This series includes Hobgoblin (brand new sculpt), Spider Hulk, Hydro man and Sandman. From the reports that I have seen, Hydro man and Sandman are not showing up in the same cases at the same time. I have not seen any pictures of Sandman, so I am not sure if it is a repaint or a new sculpt.

Also, the new Sentinel, which is part of the X-Men line, is out at Toys R Us. This is a repaint or reissue of a toy that was released in a previous X-Men line years ago.

Also, I have learned of an update for the Marvel Legends Wal-Mart exclusive wave. Stay tuned!

X-Men Series 2 Hits Walmart

— March 27, 2006

X-Men Series 2 Hits Walmart at Action-Figure.com reports that readers are finding X-men series 2 at Wal-Mart stores on the West Coast. This series includes:

• Air Strike Wolverine
• Angel with Bird of Prey
• Superposeable Stealth Cyclops
• Superposeable Tech-Gear Beast
• Juggernaut
• Phoenix

Of the readers that are finding them, no one has reported finding the Phoenix. So, it is believed that she is not showing up in the initial assortments. It is possible that she will still show up with later shipments. This happens from time to time with Marvel toys.
