Marvel Universe Gigantic Battle Sets in My Hands
I’ve now got both the Captain America vs. Skrull Giant Man and Iron Man and Goliath Wal-Mart exclusives and at least one of these sets is going to show up in a review next week. Both packs were at Wal-Mart a few days ago, and after looking through the window on each box both looked cool enough to come home with me.
I’ve got the red, blue, and yellow Goliath and not the blue and yellow version shown above and at comicfigs.net. Goliath looks pretty big in the online photos, but you don’t really respect his size until he’s in your hands.
NOTE: I’ve opened the Goliath pack and his articulation is minimal. Also, the Iron Man in that set has a warped leg because of the way he was packed. Hasbro, please stop packing the action figures in these “dynamic” poses. All it does is lead to damaged figures.
I’m impressed with Hasbro. Where they could have gone with something predictable like a Wolverine and Sentinel set they actually experimented a little. And this makes me a very happy Marvel Universe collector.
Hit your Wal-Mart today if you have been waiting for these packs. They’re on shelves now.

I like them. I think I will hit Walmart today. I also got a warped leg Red hulk to other day. Legs were spread way to much
Oh man! This is new to me… they even gave Iron man a new Proto-Classic headsculpt! I HAVE to find this!!!
I can’t wait to find these… Actually I can wait. I just spent over $200 on toys this weekend and my GF will kill me if I buy anything else. So I do hope to find these… Just not for a couple weeks! Looking forward to the reviews.
my walmart didn’t have them. so I went to my LCS which is have their annual sale by the way. 30% off action figures. got hobgoblin,thing and black panther. 8 bucks each
@Ben – I’ve been waiting for these ever since I first heard about them. Unfortunately, the more I play with Goliath and Iron Man the more I think Hasbro should have tried just a little harder on this set.
@Newt – $200? Man, you either got a lot of stuff or you got one or two high-end toys. What did you get?
@Smack – Careful. You’ll have a set soon. 🙂 Are you using the http://www.furyfiles.com site and inputting the codes?
yes I put every code in. Shhhh dont say the S word. lol I have been getting a good price with sales lately. Hard to pass up
I would have bought this, had I actually found one that had the blue/yellow Goliath.
My Wal-Mart had 8 of these things, and all 8 were the red/blue one, which I was under the impression was going to be harder to find. Oh well.
@TAO – Digging around online it sounds as if the blue/yellow is the difficult to find version. You’re not missing much; I finished my review last night (it’s scheduled to run tomorrow) and Goliath and Iron Man both have problems.
