3.75″ Iron Man 2 Classic Iron Monger & Arctic Iron Man Revealed
A European site has posted more images of upcoming Iron Man 2 figures. Included is Iron Monger from the comics.
The Iron Monger is based on his appearance in the comic booksas opposed to the movie. Arctic Iron Man appears to be just a repaint of the Mark VI armor figure or what they perhaps are calling the “Modern” Iron Man figure for this assortment. These figures are slated to be released in the 3rd series of “Comic Series” Iron Man 2 figures

Spider-Man 3.75″ Carnage And Ben Reilly Spider-Man Figures Revealed
While I don’t like the scale, I like that you can supplement your Marvel Universe collection with the Spider-Man line, the same way you could supplement your Marvel Legends collection with the 6″ Spider-Man line.
Entertainment Earth has released images for Hasbro’s 4th wave of 3.75″ Spider-Manfigures which includes Carnage and a Ben Reilly Spider-Man figure.
Iron Man 2 3.75″ TRU Exclusive Fury Of Combat 4-Pack – Nick Fury

We have our first decent look at the Nick Fury that will come in the upcoming Iron Man 2 3.75″ TRU Exclusive Fury Of Combat 4-Pack. Check out the image below. The set will include: Ground Assault Drone, Iron Man Mark VI, Nick Fury and Ground Assault Drone.

Marvel to Introduce Characters in Short Films?
There is a rumor making it’s rounds today, that Marvel will begin introducing characters in 10 minute short films in front of other movies. Who knows how this will play out and whether it will be a good thing or a bad thing. It sounds good to me.
Got a scoop from a well trusted source that Marvel/Disney are looking at doing 10 minute short films in front of their feature length movies that will introduce secondary characters like Black Panther, Luke Cage, Dr. Strange, etc.
Hot Toys Blade Trinity Abigail Whistler Press Pics
Hot Toys is at the top of their game, doing excellent work. But Blade III was a terrible movie. Other than the fact it’s Jessica Biel, why make this figure? It’s pre-ordering right now for $150.
With this release, Hot Toys shows thanks to Jessica Biel for saving Blade Trinity from being a completely forgettable movie and a stake through the heart of the Blade franchise. I think the likeness is pretty serviceable – working better from a 3/4 view than straight on. This will make a great companion to the Blade II MMS figure.
Marvel Ultimate Quarter-Scale Deadpool Action Figure
Ultimate Quarter-Scale Deadpool looks like a huge turd for $50. This doesn’t look good for the kick-off of a new line from Diamond Select.
It’s the Ultimate Quarter-Scale debut of the Marvel Universe! Who better to kick of this line than the “Merc’ with a Mouth”, Deadpool!? This character has never been hotter, and Diamond Select is ready to give the fans what they want — a full-sized, 19″ figure with full articulation, an authentic cloth costume, and loads of weapons for dealing with any situation. Please note that the Marvel UQS line will not have sound chips but will have all the costuming and sculpt details fans have come to expect from this line. SRP: $49.99

Though not yet officially confirmed by Hasbro, Marvelous News reader Yenmaster has gotten his hands on what appears to be a 3.75″ Marvel Universe Giant-Sized X-Men boxset.
Hasbro Marvel Universe Colossus, Juggernaut and A.I.M. Soldier
I have also noticed that Hasbro is really stepping up their work on this line. Sculpting and articulation have improved recently. If you have been holding out because of that, now is the time to check out the Marvel Universe line.
If these figures are a taste of what Hasbro has in store for the future of the Marvel Universe line, then I’m excited! The quality and execution of the these three remind me of the Marvel Legend days, and I do hope Hasbro keeps this up.
