Marvel Universe

hey guys, just checking to see if anyone has seen the Marvel Universe Wave 1 toys in any stores???

I'll be looking tomorrow.

Right there with ya! Im not too keen on the new scale, so I gotta see 'em before I can accept them.

[Gutsman Heavy]

the new scale is what drew me in, Tfs dominate almost all my space, so the smaller figs wont cut into my tfs as much, plus they (should) be cheaper, which is another win IMO.

I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine toys tonight and they seem to be in the new scale too.

They were at Toy Kingdom in Melb's South East for about $18 each which seems really expensive for a figure much smaller than the old Legends.

The paint apps also look a bit iffy so if this is an indication for the Marvel Universe figures you might want to pick carefully.

They were marked as Comic Series and had several versions of Wolverine (white shirt, classic uniform, brown uniform, modern uniform, Weapon X) as well as a modern Sabretooth, classic Gambit and the one figure I considered buying: Deadpool. I'm a fan of Niceiza's Deadpool and the figure is a great likeness and comes with far more weapons than an average person needs which I thought was cool touch.

I was soooooo close to pick up a blue/yellow Wolverine, Deadpool and Gambit today from Target... but the price scanning at $17 (could have been $16) scared me away...
