CHARACTER UPDATES – 02/04/24

Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. Over the past week, we have had several reveals and updates. First there was the official reveal that we ARE getting a Nick Fury Sr. head with a much better Sharon Carter head. Then there was the Deadpool Legacy figures and lastly was Iron man Retro wave. Out of all the reveals however, there were only two brand new characters but there were three major updates to Iron Man figures.

Starting with some new images, with the SHIELD box set.

Then we have updates to old figures

  • Nick Fury – replaced the old MCU Giant-Man wave version with the box set.
  • Deadpool (XCU) – replaced the 2-pack with the Legacy version
  • Wolverine (XCU) – Replaced the X-men 20th version with the Legacy version
  • Iron Man – I replaced The MK 1 Gold version, the Neo Classic version and the Secretary of Defense version. I have a couple of things to say about the last one. First, I have been calling the TB Modern version of Iron Man the Model 20/Tin Man version for years. I was wrong. It is actually the Secretary of Defense version / Model 24. Second Hasbro has mislabeled their version. They called it Model 20 but model 20 was this version. Before anyone says the Mark 24 doesn’t have yellow on the sides, I have included an image of the suit that proves that some version of the suit does. Lastly with these three figures we now have only two figures from the Toybiz days of Prime Universe Iron man that need to be remade, the Hulkbuster Iron man (Which is rumored to be coming this year, hopefully on the retro card) and the Thorbuster Armor, which many people including myself know will use the Destroyer figure to make.

Finally we have the only new costume in the bunch:

  • She-Hulk – I added a classic second. I say classic as it’s one of her earlier costumes that she wore more than once.

The next post, which will be an Ideal wave, will be on Sunday (02/04).
