Marvel Universe NYCC 2011 panel

[Goldbug]

Because Professor X should get his own thread! :-D

First off YES to comic figures in the Avengers movie line!
Ultimate Thor & Ultimate Hawkeye were pictured. Since I don't care about the Ultimate versions I'm skipping them. Hopefully some more classic costumes will be available too.

New MU stuff...
Wave 4 MU for 2012

• Professor X YES!!! SUITED FIGURES FOR EVERYONE!!!
• Jubilee (vampire variant) not a new reveal but new info
• Blastaar (Variant, may have some blasting hands) Nice! A classic Fantastic Four villain!
• 2 more characters go here which are still unknown

3-packs

• New Avengers, Bleeding Edge Iron Man, Thor and Red Hulk(2012 Hulk repaint) total skip for many I'm sure, will be shelf warming everywhere too
• Inhumans Medusa, Karnak (Black Bolt rumored) another new female mold!

2012 Sneak Previews

• Black Knight cool!
• Bearded Thor with war helmet meh I'm Thor-ed out
• Thor Frog another bizarre one I have no interest in great for the obscure collectors the general theory is he is a 3 pack accessory

Q&A hints

• Northstar
• Sasquatch 2 Alpha Flight members! I'm predicting 3 pack or comic pack
• Masters of Evil another 3 pack speculation Baron Zemo is a given with this! Finally an Executioner to go with Enchantress? Radioactive Man is a major player missing. Evil Black Knight so soon after good version? Melter was the last original member.
• Fin Fang Foom will have some shorts and possible a variant. I already got the BAF one. no mention of the small figure included.
• Amazing Bag Man
• Arcade He was the enemy in the recent Captain Britain/Spidey comic
• Wolverine of course again!
• Rogue Awesome!

Wow some of those sound great… others….meh. I'm kind of excited about bearded Thor and Baron Zemo figures.

Thanks for the recap

 

[Cloud Strife]

Looks like the MU line is still going to be strong in 2012. I'm looking forward to most of these figures, but most of all, I'm looking forward to more X-Men (Professor X FTW!) and the Alpha Flight.

 

[PROVOST]

Prof X - that is so AWESOME!!!!

 

[fogger1138]

Yay for Blastaar and Nova (who I knew about, but still looks good). The potential for more suited figures in Prof. X is great.

 

[K-Tiger]

I dunno, I may be able to get a turn-of-the-century or Red Dead Redemption-style (namely something like Landon Ricketts) custom out of Charles.
