Yeah we will have to wait until next year for IM2 & the eventual 1/18 figures. :-D

I think them wanting to hold things back until Iron Man 2 hits next summer and they want to push the animated Iron Man line of toys is why we keep seeing the same armor over and over again instead of something like the Hulk-Buster armor in 1/18.

Not sure why we keep getting the flood of the same Spiderman figure. I know he's popular but darn.

Ouch but what's up with this line of toys not having villains? I mean one of the things that makes Spiderman cooler than some of the other heroes is has so many different bad guys that he gets to beat up. Like Lance said it's crazy that we have a hero fest with hardly a villain in sight much less the top named villains from Marvel.

I was really excited about this line of toys at first but without being able to form any of the hero teams and the lack of villains I'm starting to cool toward the line.

To me, this line has the lowest amount of effort by a toy company that I've ever seen.

I just hope for their sakes that they do a "Bring on the bad guys" wave like ML 10 did. That wave was friggin' awesome.

I'm an Iron Man apollogist, so I'll get this one, as well. Namor, and Vindicator are on the list. I have to agree with everyone about the absurdity of carrying over Spider-Man, again.

I'm trying to think... have there been any villains in this line other than Bullseye and the Hand ninja? And they are shoving another Iron Man and Spiderman down our throats? Who are they supposed to fight, all those dumb Human Torch figures no one wants to buy? Oh yea, I forgot about Green Goblin. So we get 3 villains total so far, 4 different Iron Man figures, 2 PUNISHERS (for _____'s sake), 2 Spiderman figures, and a reissue of the first one... Come on, give us some Doom or Red Skull or something... Stop cramming Iron Man up our asses.

Electro comes in wave 5 too.

Those are the Marvel Legend 6" figs that JFak has shown. So no Electro in Wave 5 in other words for the Universe set.

You sure about that?
The second picture in the album is definitely the 3 3/4" "Fury File" Nick Fury. You can see the file folder by his feet. So that Electro could be a 3 3/4" Marvel Universe figure. There also isn't anyone shown to be packaged with him, if he is in a Marvel Legends 2-pack.

I'm leaning towards Electro being a Marvel Legend not a Universe figure because he's not mentioned or pictured with the Hasbro press release of Wave 5.

But I hope I'm wrong

I was convinced that Electro was 1:18 scale. Maybe they pushed him back another wave like they did with Moon Knight, as I believe MK was originally supposed to be released in wave three and got pushed back to wave four.

That Electro is 3 3/4th, whether he's in Wave 5 or not is another matter. At this point those two-packs are the only ML scale figures that haven't been released, and they're phasing out all of the 6in lines in favor of 3 3/4th, so you will get a Joe sized Electro sooner than later. It does make me a bit worried about the fate of the ML scale Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo that were supposedly going to be revealed at SDCC since I can't imagine how they'd be released other than as an exclusive of some kind.

He is in wave 5. Marvelousnews/TNI got that picture for one of their Q&A sessions. He was also revealed on furyfiles.com when you could look at the website code to see which pictures were blanked out.
I would bet they are just re-using the Johnny Storm/Silver Surfer body.
