Here is a the latest batch of images showing off Hasbro's second wave of 3 3/4" Marvel Universe 'Secret Wars' based Comic 2-Packs. Included in this wave are the following figures.
- Incredible Hulk/Cyclops (Secret Wars #4)
- Iron Man/Spider-Woman (Secret Wars #7)
- Black Costume Spider-Man/Magneto (Secret Wars #8)
Magnetos helmet looks removable, kinda. Would love a confirmation to that. magneto is by far one of the best looking MU figures I have seen. I cant wait till they do DOOM. you know he's gonna be in wave 4. He has to be
cyclops seems to be huge.
"thats what she said" (jean grey)
I stand corrected, it actually looks a lot better than the MU single.
He looks bigger than Cyclops to me.
or they just put him further back...why would hasbro make a whole new mold, just to make hime slightly smaller..?
Probably for the same reason they scaled down every mold they use in the ML line. The numbers just worked out. Over so many thousands of figures produced, the amount of plastic they saved may have justified the cost to produce new mold that can be put to good use in the future as well. MU is produced in a much higher quantity than ML ever was so the margin of savings is that much greater and if any figs are gonna fall victim to Hasbro's dreaded ever rising production costs, it's gonna be the bigger figs.
I suppose it could be that Hulk was set farther back in the picture, but what's the point of that. Not like he was so massive that they had to move him back to get him in frame. Hasbro will never let a small thing like comic based height accuracy stand in the way of saving a buck. We're all still gonna buy em and they know it.

so? who is the hulk on that picture? :cyclops: :hulk: cyclops seems to be huge.
I don't think it's so much that Cyclops is huge, but the fact that Hasbro decided to scale down the already too short hulk body yet again. Good job Hasbro.
