So, these Disney-Marvel figures...

[Frenchy99]

My set arrived arrived early yesterday afternoon. Considering that I'm in Canada, it was incredibly fast shipping by UPS.

However, living in Canada also means that between the exchange rate, shipping costs (there was no free shipping offer to Canada) and customs/duty fees, we Canucks unfortunately have to pay about double what customers in the USA have to. It's a beautiful looking set, but likely the last one I'll be purchasing from the Disney site, as I'm really only interested in original release characters, not to mention cost is a factor as well. However, if Ghost Rider or any of the Marvel Monsters were produced, I'd probably change my mind. I really like the Falcon figure, so if that is produced I may try to get it off eBay.

I can't get over how heavy and sturdy these figures are (Hulk, in particular), compared with the original releases. I guess we won't have to worry about the Hulk's arms or legs falling off with this version. The stain/smudge on Iron Man's chest plate looks like it may possibly be caused by glue that has bled though the button onto the sticker. But it's difficult to say for sure.

I'm surprised that (as of this writing) these are still available on the website. I wonder if a much higher number of sets were produced, or for whatever reason, people aren't buying this one as much as the previous offerings. I've attached some photos. Hope you like them.

All of these are very expensive for Canadians... Its a real drag.

Looking forward to get mine.

Great Pictures by the way !

Seeing these in-hand makes me so pumped up. My two sets are due tomorrow. One set will remained boxed, but the other figures will be gearing up for the Great MEGO Super-Hero Battle 2.0. Fifty years in the making…

As far as the Iron Man “Out, out, damned spot” on his chest piece: Is it worth the effort to cover it with some yellow contact paper cut to size?
