« on: June 11, 2012, 11:02:38 AM »

They like to torture the average person with their SDCC stuff.  It's the same every year....how can we tease the masses?

Thanks for the info!

Is it just me or the figures look way too big on that thing? It looks like the figures should be sigma six sized (2.5 inches).

I wonder if Hasbro Canada got the point last year and will have some SDCC stuff at fan Expo this year. Fingers crossed!  ;)

I would love to have that Shield Helicarrier.

Two cons to it though.

1 - Not enough space for a 4' Helicarrier when I have my Flagg up already
2 - I really want the Maria Hill figure and that is a lot of money to get one figure

What has me intrigued is the box art.

We know that there is a MU boxset at SDCC.  It contains Zemo, Tiger Shark and Radioactive Man.  All of them are pictured on the box, along with Goliath and Whirlwind (oh and IM).  Could this be an indication of either another exclusive, or retail release in the near future?

saw this in person, the box is longer than most suitcases, its huge.  Saw a father and son, the poor soon was carrying the helicarrier and it was bigger than him!

How much was it at the Con again?

Supposedly the SDCC version is a foot longer than the retail version.
