Who isn’t aware of Hasbro’s 3 3/4 Marvel Universe figures? Well how would you like a special Nick Fury figure from that line of toys? It seems that people who have started to find the 4th Wave of this line ( I am going to the store later to look for them) found details on how one can get the new Marvel Universe Nick Fury figure!
Apparently, all you have to do is sign-up for Marvel Comics’ digital comic book service. The cost is $24.99 ($8.33/month) for a 3-Month service, or $59.88 ($4.99/month) for an annual account.
I think it’s fucking bull shit because many action figure collectors don’t even read comics, or at least don’t read them enough to pay for an online subscription. I don’t think a kid has the money for an online subscription service and this figure is made for kids…
I am hoping a way will exist where you could send in a bunch of proof’s-of-purchase from the figures themselves in order to get the Fury model.
I guess we will know more on Monday, June 1st, as marvel.com/nickfury goes live about it’s release. The people who have found the Wave 4 line got a paper telling them to visit the url inside of their figure, and Hasbro has stated before that this figure of Fury’s official reveal would be on June 1st.
Thanks to Comic Impact readers Dan and Travis for both sending us this news.
