I picked up this Marvel Avengers Black Panther action figure this morning at the local Walmart's. It was on clearance sale for two dollars but I had seen him a week ago for four dollars. He is four inches tall and comes with a purple claw accessory. This Black Panther is part of the Epic Hero Series from Hasbro with a copyright of 2024.
Here is a close up look of the Marvel Avengers Black Panther action figure:
I picked up this Marvel Avengers and Other Heroes #2 magazine at the local Dollar Tree this morning. The cover features Iron Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and Count Dracula. Most of it is dedicated to the Marvel Avengers Secret Wars story titled "Wings in the Night!" The Avengers (Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Iron Man and Vision) battles Count Dracula as Chthon possesses his body. There are activities like mazes, match games, puzzles and how to draw. Members of the Guardians of the Galaxy only appear once on a match game page. Spider-Man and his friends also appear only once with a two-page crossword puzzle (this should have been devoted to the Avengers). Overall, the magazine is not bad for the price, but I have the feeling that I have read this story before.
This Avengers: Endgame DVD is another one that I picked up for $4.95 at the local Dollar General last Wednesday. The cover is another one crowded with Marvel superheroes including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Captain Marvel Hawkeye, Black Widow and Rocket Raccoon among others. I always catch the end of the movie on tv so I'm glad that I finally have the DVD so I can watch it all.
Avengers: Infinity War is another Marvel movie that I have yet to watch all the way through in one setting. I usually miss the beginning so I was glad to find this DVD at the local Dollar General. The price was only $4.95 and now I can finally watch it all the way through. There are so many superheroes from Doctor Strange to Spider-Man on the front cover that I couldn't tag all of them.
Avengers: Twilight #6 is out today from Marvel and the Wasp catches a falling bomb. The mini-series is very good with each issue better than the last.
Marvel fans are getting a nice Christmas present this year from Disney. What If...? season 2 starts on Disney+ beginning on Friday, December 22, 2023. A new episode will air daily for nine days. Captain Carter and Strange Supreme will return. Unfortunately, there is no episode with Marvel Zombies. Here is the schedule:
I forgot to post the cover galleries for Elvira in Monsterland #2 and #4 when the issues originally came out. The fifth issue came out last week so I thought I would post all three cover galleries today for this week's Women Wednesday post. In issue two, she riffs on Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein movies.
In Elvira in Monsterland #4, she riffs on the kaiju movie Destroy All Monsters, which features Godzilla.
Issue five wraps up the mini-series with Elvira battles Vlad the Impaler and his army of monsters but she gets help from a super hero group that spoofs The Avengers movie.
Note: You can view Elvira in Monsterland #1 Cover Gallery here and Elvira in Monsterland #3 Cover Gallery here.
I picked up three boxes of this year's superhero Valentines at the local Dollar Tree. That proved to be a bit of a mistake on my part. First off is the Avengers Valentines, which is the same as last year's Avengers Valentines except that it has the following stickers:
There are a lot of characters on this Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #10: Spider-Man and the Avengers. There is Spider-Man and his amazing friends, Gwen Stacey aka Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales aka the Ultimate Spider-Man. The Avengers are represented by the Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Antman, Ms. Marvel, Wasp and Iron Man. Whew, that's a lot of characters for a vending machine sticker based on a Disney cartoon series.
The Mighty Avengers #2 (2007) from Marvel Comics is the seventh comic book that was in the Ollie's grab bag. The story features Wonder Man, Ms. Marvel, Sentry, Black Widow, Ares and Wasp battling a nude woman that stepped out of the recently killed Iron Man. She turns out to be Ultron that has taken on the form of Janet Van Dyne aka the Wasp. Yes, it's a pretty weird issue, which is probably why this is the first issue of the series that I have ever read.
I finally broke down last month and picked up two Marvel's Angers 5 gum packs at the local Walmart's. Every pack has a code that unlocks in-game content and they came out in 2020. Unfortunately, I don't have the game so I can't use the codes but I did enjoy the gum. Both packs features Captain America and Iron Man but the peppermint pack also has Ms. Marvel while the spearmint also has Thor. The peppermint pack has a small image of Black Widow inside under the code while the spearmint pack has a small image of the Hulk. I'm not sure if the inside images provide a clue to what type of content that the code unlocks or not. For more information, check out Marvel's Avengers Teams With 5 Gum.
I picked up this Iron Man Mini Bust Paper Weight at the local Dollar Tree last week. He is about three inches tall and the paint job is not too shabby since he's mostly all red. At a certain angle, the abs on his armor looks like a flat top A.
I picked up this Marvel Avengers Hulk Mini Bust Paper Weight from the local Dollar Tree last week. He's three inches tall and a little wider than yesterday's Captain America Mini Bust Paper Weight. The paint job is better since he's mostly green. He was also originally released in 2019.
I was at the local Dollar Tree last week and I found this Marvel Avengers Captain America Mini Bust Paper Weight. He is about three inches tall. I just had to get him even though the paint job is a little sloppy. According to my research, this was released in 2019. Kind of odd seeing him without his arms and shield.
I actually picked up this box of Marvel Avengengers 48 Valentines at the local Dollar Tree last month. The artwork is actually pretty good. The Valentine's Day cards features Falcon, Captain America, Black Panther, Iron Man, Vision, Black Widow, Hulk and War Machine. It was made in China and distributed by Paper Magic Group in Berwick, PA. There is no copyright date on the back so I will be expecting them to be on the shelves again next year.
I picked up this Marvel Avengers Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book from 2017 yesterday at the local Dollar Tree. Yes, the copyright on all the interior pages have 2016. The front and back covers both feature the same Captain America picture. The Avengers that have their individual coloring pages include Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man, Hulk, Nick Fury, Thor, Falcon and Hawkeye. Villains include the Red Skull, Abomination, Hydra Agent, M.O.D.O.K., Loki, Attuma, Whiplash and Super-Adaptoid. The last eighteen pages are actually tied together in a story focusing on Falcon's first day as an Avenger. There are some sideway pages but very few pages of the Avengers together. Activity pages include which line, draw, match, maze, unscramble and spot.
