Marvel Universe Comic Packs action figures - wave 4

Marvel Universe Comic Packs action figures - wave 4

Top row (from left): Bulldozer & The Thing; Dr Doom & Absorbing Man.

Bottom row (from left): Storm & Nightcrawler; Re-released from Wave 1 - Klaw & Captain America.

Here we have wave 4 of the Marvel universe Comic Packs to be available in some local toy stores soon.  The departmental stores here have stopped bringing in these toys since wave 1. 

Wave 4 contains 3 new pairs of figures and characters.  They are Bulldozer & The Thing; Dr Doom & Absorbing Man; and Storm & Nightcrawler.  My guess is that the Comic Packs containing The Thing and Nightcrawler will be more popular with fans and collectors.  The former is to complete the Fantastic Four team, while the latter as a popular X-Men mutant in his classic costume.

Since wave 3, the earlier waves of Comic Packs figures have been gradually re-released.  Hence if you had missed out on some of them, you have a good chance of getting them in the subsequent waves.  For e.g., Klaw and Captain America of wave 4 above are re-released from wave 1.

Similarly if you should miss out on any new Comic Packs from the new waves (because many anxious collectors are also rushing for them), you can consider waiting out to get them as re-releases in the later waves of Comic Packs.  For regular collectors and observers of the Marvel Universe toyline, as well as most other similar scale toylines by Hasbro, this is quite a fixed distribution pattern already.

With this, happy toys shopping and collecting!
