Shown below are some new carded images for Hasbro's upcoming Comic Figure 2-packs. This 3rd wave for 2010 will be the first set of non-Secret Wars based figures. Instead we have one set based on the Dark Phoenix saga from the X-Men titles and one from the more recent Dark Avengers storyline. The sets include the following figures:
- Daken & Venom (From the pages of Dark Avengers. Daken is disguised as Wolverine and Venom disguised as Spider-Man)
- Cyclops & Dark Phoenix
Now you may notice from these early PR images that both sets seem to be packaged with a reprint of the classic Wars #4 comic book, however the final released versions should come with comic books more appropriate to their corresponding figures. The set with the Dark Avengers says it will come with a reprint of
Dark Avengers #1 and the X-Men set says it will come with a reprint of
Uncanny X-Men #175.
You can pre-order these now at
Entertainment Earth who has them listed with a June 2010 release date.
