• Figure Spotlight 96 – Hawkeye

  Thursday, February 25th, 2010

  Hawkeye

  Series: Secret Wars 2-packs, Marvel Universe
  Release Date: 1/2010
  As the final figure I have left to spotlight in wave 3 of the Secret Wars 2-packs; we’ll look at Marvel’s resident archer, Hawkeye.

  Release Date: 1/2010
  The 3rd and final 2-pack in wave 3 is Marvel’s Piledriver and Hawkeye.  I say “Marvel’s Piledriver” as that is what’s on the blister card, clearly Hasbro had a trademark issue with just the name Piledriver.  There is now just one wave of Secret Wars packs to hit retail.
  Piledriver [...]

  Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

  Last week I posted a pre-order link for UK readers, now US sites are getting their pre-orders posted.  Recommended price for this 2-pack is $40, so if the price is more than a few dollars off of that, you might want to find a different place to order your figures from.  I can vouch for [...]

  Thor

  Series: Secret Wars 2-packs, Marvel Universe

  Part of the 3rd wave of Secret Wars 2-packs, the awesome Asgardian Avenger Thor comes packed with Enchantress.  Hasbro has these comic packs down to a science; being sure to balance out the quality of one figure with the other.  For a crappy Reed we get an excellent [...]
