Mail-Away Marvel Universe Nick Fury Figure (Update)

Update 06/01/09: The Marvel site marvel.com/nickfury is now live.
The folks who have started to find the 4th wave of Hasbro's 3 3/4" Marvel Universe figures are finding a form packaged with the figures that give details on how one can get the new Marvel Universe Nick Fury figure which was first revealed at New York Comic Con earlier this year.
Apparently in order to get this figure one must sign-up for Marvel Comics Digital Comic book service.
$24.99 ($8.33/month) for a 3-Month or
$59.88 ($4.99/month) for and Annual.
The form indicates that folks should go to marvel.com/nickfury which if you go to now will see is not live. Hasbro has stated before that the details for this figure would be revealed officially on June 1 which is probably when the site will go live.
Though I understand Marvel wanting to try and push their new online subscription service, this idea does not seem to be a good one to me. Many action figure collectors actually don't even read comics or at least not enough to pay for an online subscription for them so I have to wonder if this will be the incentive they were hoping for or just incentive to pass on the figure or maybe even a new action figure line that is just starting to get going with many collectors all together?
When the Nick Fury mail-away figure was first announced many assumed it would involve collecting and sending in some type of proof-of-purchase from the figures themselves, I know I've been collecting those little circle Fury File pieces that come with each figure just in case. One can only hope that something like that will be implemented for this figure as well.
Check out below an image of the mail-away form that is shipping in the wave 4 Marvel Universe figures below thanks to Abesapien along with the figure itself which was shown at NYCC. Then share your thoughts about this in our comments section.

QUOTE (shadowmachine @ Jun 17 2009, 12:30 PM) Small request: Does anyone have the Marauder Beret and second Punisher? I was thinking of making What If... The Punisher became an Agent of SHIELD with a 3rd Nick Fury, but I need to see how the hat fits first on Punisher II's head. Thanks. (link) You could always just use the Cobra Flint head. |
