Marvel Legends 13 in Toy Fare #104!
— February 5, 2006 Leave a Comment
The new Toy Fare came this weekend. I was suprised because it usually comes late. I was also suprised to find lots of new information on Marvel toys. Inside it has pics of new Fantastic Four classics, Dragon Man, Kang, Sue Storm and another Thing. Spider-man classics has Hobgoblin, Hydro Man and Spider Hulk. It also has pics of Marvel Legends 13 and a Q and A with Jesse Falcon. Here are the details, but I cannot post scans due to legal reasons.
Fantastic Four: It doesn’t say how big Dragon Man is. It says the figures are in the 6″ scale. They’re not together so you can’t compare. There is also Transforming Johnny Storm with attachable flame parts. Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm, Kang and Dragon Man look super-srticulated. Thing does not. It says that all the FF designs are from the Ultimate Universe except for the villians which are old school. Release date says May.
Spider-man series 17: Hydro-man has an interchangeable lower half. One is a water base and I assume the other is a pair of legs. It doesn’t show it. Spider-Hulk design is from Web of Spider-man #70. Hobgoblin is definitely classic style and super-articulated. He has a pumpkin bomb in his hand and he is riding the glider. The glider looks new and is sculpted with clouds underneath it. Release date says April.
Marvel Legends 13: Pics of the Goblin variant are out there. It looks the same but with the Goblin head instead of the Norman Osborn head. It looks like the new Goblin and Hobgoblin are using the same body type but the gliders are different. Lady Deathstrike looks like crap. Abomination looks super-cool and is definitely a new sculpt. Every figure comes with a piece of Onslaught. All I can say is it looks the same as the pictures that were posted elsewhere from the UK Toy Fair.
Jesse’s interview: Jesse says in the interview the Onslaught is the crab monster version. Not the Magneto looking one.
He says the vs. cards are included plus a cardboard diorama insert will be included with brand new character specfic artwork. Abomination has a destroyed Gamma lab. Pyro has a giant flame monster. Lady Deathstrike has Spiral’s lab.
Jesse says they will do they figures that were supposed to be pack in villians at some point but they don’t know how. And that it didn’t make sense to buy a bunch of Loki figures to get a bunch of Hydra agents. Boxset anyone?
He says all of the New Avengers are being done at some point in ‘06. I don’t believe Ronin has been announced yet. Did he forget about him or is there something else in store?
Jesse says they will definitely do the new Spider-man costume in Marvel Legends. I think any plans after this year are in question until we know more of what Hasrbo has planned.
He says the Fantastic Four line will have 2 lines and then be based on the new animated series that is coming out. The last thing he says is,
“There is a line that we are going to be showing at Toy Fair. It shall not be named. When the retailers came in, we changed from doing one assortment to doing three assortments. So its going to be big. I’m drooling.”
There is an article in there about Hasbro taking over the Marvel license but it doesn’t say anything new. It basically just breaks down what we already know from the press releases.
