Marvel Universe action figures - wave 7

Wow, take a look at the upcoming wave 7 of the 3.75-inch Marvel Universe action figures!  These are scheduled for retail release by the first quarter of 2010.  In some countries, they might just reach their retail stores earlier than expected. 

Top row: Original Captain America, Classic Bucky & Luke Cage.

Middle row: Green Globin, Modern Thor & Iron Man.

Bottom row: Sub-Mariner, Black Widow & House of M Spiderman.

Nearly all the figures in this wave are new or revamped characters, and they all come with figure stands that are printed with their names.  At last, Hasbro has listened to the Marvel fans!  I hope the previous characters from the past waves (e.g. Green Goblin & Sub-Mariner above) will also be re-released with figure stands! 

Each of these figures are still retailing for SGD 18.90 here in Singapore.  (In the US, their retail price is around USD 7.99 or approx SGD 11.20 each).  Recently, many action figure toylines are going on clearance sales at our local departmental stores.  So far, the Marvel Universe figures have not followed suit yet. 

With the same characters being re-released over and over again in the recent revision waves, many local fans and collectors have already gotten the characters they want.  The rest of the repeated figures are currently languishing on the store pegs, and collecting dust too.

I won’t be surprised to see them going on clearance sale eventually in the coming months.  Of course by then, the highly sought after characters would be sold out.  The ones left on sale would be the common ones that everyone else has already, or doesn’t want.

I still have some of my remaining MOC Marvel Universe collection for sale in my toy locker 12G at Toy Outpost (Plaza Singapura, 7th floor, diagonally opposite cinema box office).   Just seek the help of the friendly store personnel at Toy Outpost if you need to examine the items up close or purchase them.  You can view the remaining figures of my sale list in here at this blog post! 

Happy toy shopping!
