So, these Disney-Marvel figures...

[Stormbreaker]

I'm still on the fence whether I get this set or not. I have the OG's. Packaging might tip me over so I wish they'd show it. To those worried about them selling out I paid a secret shopper close to what it would have cost through Disney. It was a reasonable price.

It would be nice if there were some photos of the actual product that’s supposedly going up for sale on Wednesday.

Was it here or on another website (maybe Fwoosh or Articulated Thoughts), wherein someone expressed dissatisfaction with the way the whole situation has been handled, likening it to an almost criminal/mobster-like operation?

That may be a bit hyperbolic, but honestly, a blasted set of figures shouldn’t be so difficult to obtain, nor should information about the product be so secretive!

I hadn't recalled that move, thanks. Speaking personally, I'm just anxious.

Unfortunately, I've done this dance with Mattel many times to the tune of MOTU Origins, and I'm getting too old to two-step.

I have no idea of Disneys plans as far as pricing and availability goes.
I wouldn’t be too concerned about the delisting of the set from coming soon. The same thing happened with the Spider-Man set when it was being moved to an ordering page.

Any insight--from Mego/Crimsom Ghost or FB/Disney, etc--on the supposed availability of these on Wednesday morning and the pricing?

The Diz Coming Soon delisting is disconcerting.

that’s exactly what I’ve been hoping to find out as well. The availability. And to date Paul/Marty or anyone associated with Mego has said anything. The NDA must be lock tight.

if orders get cancelled and there’s no way to get them in the parks (IE no Disney shoppers) the backlash may be bad.

In will say that I was fortunate to wind up with an extra set of the Spider-Man set. If anyone gets a F4 set and wants to trade please let me know.

Looks like I am out. I'm probably working that day and will have no opportunity to even try for these. And I have never managed to get any FF Megos so far. On the plus side, I'm 90% sure I would fail anyway, as speed is not my Thing.

I forgot how many sales Disney puts out on Wednesday morning, usually a bad day for me.

I wonder if Sue will be packaged in an Invisible Girl box, or if they'll change it to Invisible Woman.

^lol . Straight from the comics

Looks like they’ve disappeared off the “coming soon”. Can’t find them on shop Disney

Not to worry. I’m sure they’re just taking a quick jaunt into the Negative Zone. They’ll be back.

I sometimes check ebay for custom megos and clothing, and I have seen in the recent past the FF dark blue/back costumes maybe Brian Leitner but not sure.

[PNGwynne]

Can’t regret that!

True, it's just incredible.

And not to be “that guy”, but those costumes weren’t actually dark blue and white, but BLACK and white.
Back in the primitive four-color printing days, dark blue was used as a substitute for black in a lot of cases so that they didn’t end up with a solid black silhouette for some of the characters whose costumes were meant to be black, like Black Panther, Punisher, etc.
Jean Grey (in her return from FF #286) even refers to the the FF’s new costumes as black.

Yeah, I know Byrne intended them to be black. Just like Bob Kane and Bill Finger intended Batman's blue elements to be black. And Ditko intended Spider-Man's blue elements to be black. Most figures have interpreted the costumes as dark or even light blue, right or wrong.

Let's just forget this costume bit, since the Mego figures are in the classic blue and blacks.

Not to be THAT guy grumbling, but I wish they'd put them in the Byrne white/dark blue outfits for Reed and Sue just to mix things up, or maybe include them as alternate costumes.
