Marvel POP! Updates Thread 2018 (Updated July 20th)

[wraithkelso]

is the leaked info just a further confirmation of what they already heavily hinted when they unveiled the box art?

Im very curious about this, like what is the 'heavy hint'

well most people assumed that 1 of the pops in the Secret Wars box would be the character featured ON the box. And CC already confirmed there are 2 in this box and they also said to look closer at the box as there are 2 characters somehow on the box. You can tell who the one is immediately but most of us have been speculating who the second could be.

[fistigons]

The videos been removed, but from what I can gleam from the comments is that it was a proto of

Spoiler: show

the person featured on their Secret Wars box.

Which was a hint that they already told us. That leaves one Pop! left to figure out.

[Tdogg2k8]

yea the video had all we needed to know.

as far as the 2nd one, im still praying for either:
God Doom
Captain Falcon
Spider Gwen
Phoenix Cyclops
Dr. Strange, (though they'll probably just wait til his movie comes out

[Justin-Lovejoy]

So Maskless Iron Man Amazon exclusive. Sold out, I missed...hopefully back soon.

I'm sure it will be. Star Lord was back plenty.

[PWN3R]

Yellowjacket was out for a while too. It will be back. Definitely need to snag one when it hits again.

[Tdogg2k8]

gitd yellow jacket came/is coming back also

[Jeggy]

I just missed the pre order for Unmasked Iron Man, but no worries Yellow Jacket was out of stock for about a week before it came back online for preorder. Whoever catches it first please post in here when it happens.

Right after I get mine you bet I will.

[schmidthappens27]

So bummed I missed the Unmasked Iron Man pre-order but if it's anything like Star Lord, I think we'll all be good

Funko just confirmed via their Twitter that they will not be releasing a Quicksilver Pop.

my poor scarlet witch (when I get her) is going to be so lonely...this is a bummer

[Coulsonsss]

That freaking sucks big time.

Hm. Dissapointing.

[RoboFist]

I wonder if we'll ever get a reason as to why? He was an enormous part of AoU, and he would've looked amazing as a Pop.

Then again, we've gotten Jasmine with no Aladdin, so maybe we should've...seen this coming.

[PopMikey]

More than likely licensing. Blame Fox.

[Jeggy]

Boo

[brooklyn_geek]

More than likely licensing. Blame Fox.

Actually blame Stan Lee & Marvel for selling off the movie rights to certain characters years ago...I actually didn't like the Avengers Quicksilver as much as I did the X-Men version of him...

[PWN3R]

Just curious who here has the Japan Metallic exclusive for the Amazing Spider-Man 2 premiere. Any info on how many there were? I'm so mad that I didn't grab that months and months ago. Now it has become a grail, not to mention rising in price, and it's driving me nuts.

[BlueberryWaffles]

Why isn't Quicksilver happening? They really are making one of two TWINS? Is this because of the feminists complaining that there were too many male pops in the line? That is the only reason I can think of that Scarlet Witch got a Pop and he didn't.

[GothamLord]

Dang, Quicksilver would have been cool. Was it because of the shoes he wore?

[Coulsonsss]

Good grief.

"The Feminists" didn't have anything to do with this one. FOX did.

Marvel went bankrupt back in the 90's, they sold the rights to a lot of their characters. Marvel Studios was founded and they were able to get the rights back to some of the characters. However, FOX and Sony still had characters, Fox had X-men, Fantastic Four, Deadpool, ( all the mutants basically ) and Sony had Spider-Man and his enemies.

but a couple of years ago, Marvel Studios bought back some character rights, Daredevil, Electra, Punisher, Ghost Rider, etc.

Marvel got rights back to Scarlet Witch, but not Quicksilver. FOX "shared" him for the movie and that was about all they were willing to do. There's been hardly anything with Quicksilver on it. Infact, I think I've seen two action figures at most.

Someone posted on here awhile back that Funko was trying to get the license to Pietro, but it fell through. It sucks.

So "The Feminists" weren't responsible for this one. : P

Yeah. Totally. THAT'S the reason they aren't making a Quicksilver. Sure.

You're about 85% right but let me correct a few points.

-The film rights at all the different studios are on leases. the studio has to have a new movie based on that property in production within X years to keep the rights. Fox let the rights lapse back to Marvel for the characters you mentioned, however Marvel didn't have to pay a penny to get those rights back.
-Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are both co owned by Marvel and Fox because they were equally prevalent in Avengers as they were in X-Men comics. Fox has chosen not to utilize Scarlet Witch but they could.
-Marvel was within months of getting Fantastic 4 back, those characters would have reverted to Marvel at about the same time as Daredevil, Ghost Rider, etc, however Fox didn't want to give up the FF so they decided to rush into production. Had it not actually started filming in time the rights would have reverted, I think they were within a month of the window closing. Marvel actually offered to Fox that they could keep the smaller characters in return for giving up rights to Silver surfer and Galactus. Marvel knew that Fantastic 4 would need those 2 characters in the long run and they desperately wanted the rights back.
-Spider-Man is now co owned by both Sony and Marvel and the reason for that is two-fold. 1) ASM2 got horrible critic and fan reviews, and 2) Sony as a company is having massive financial troubles (not the studio in particular, but the whole company). Sony was desperate so they decided to partner with Marvel.

Also worth noting is that the film rights were only leased out because otherwise Marvel was facing bankruptcy at the time. It really was the only option to stay afloat.

[Indy Viper]

Yeah, from a documentary about Marvel comics I watched a while ago, things seemed pretty grim there in the late 90's/early 2000's. Much as it sucks now, if Marvel hadnt leased out the film rights to all those different studios at the time, they very possibly could've gone under.

[pepsiracer24]

Well bummer about the confirmation of Quicksilver...

In other news, the twin is set to release on 8/7 according to Gamestop... But I still trust EE more at September.

And I got my Agent Carter. Great pop figure!

[Barryyyyy]

But are the feminists still running things? I'm lost.

Thanks for clearing that up. I felt like I was missing a few points in my explanation.


Also, do we know for sure Black Widow with shield is still coming out? I paid her off, but we still have yet to see any glams or concept art.

[schmidthappens27]

Any chance Black Widow Shield is a pop ride?! Wishful thinking

[buf12sbr]

Any chance Black Widow Shield is a pop ride?! Wishful thinking

nope. It was regular priced

[BlueberryWaffles]

Can't believe I forgot about Fox. Feeling really dumb. My bad, everyone!

How come he got a Lego mini figure?
EDIT: And a Hot Toys figure? Licensing is so confusing sometimes.

[pepsiracer24]

The BW Shield is the same as the Pop T-Shirt from Comic-Con - At least the Box Art.

[schmidthappens27]

I'd be more than happy with that! Where have you heard/seen this?

It's not confirmed, just an educated guess. I'd put $ on it though. It'll be the same figure it is now, just 1 less baton and a shield instead.

[themahler]

Arriving sooner than expected, Agent Carter! Thanks ToyWars!

[schmidthappens27]

Congrats!!

I cannot WAIT for her to show up in stores, she looks amazing!

[Chase Variant]

San Diego Hot Topic has Agent Carter in.
