A couple days ago I declared that the Mighty Muggs Rom Space Knight figure was the most out-of-left-field exclusive for this month’s San Diego Comic Con 2014. Well, I stand by that original assessment–but if there was a prize for second most out-of-left-field SDCC 2014 exclusive, it would probably go to UCC Distributing for an exclusive they’re partnered up with Marvel and Hasbro for. He’s cosplayed as Hulk, Wolverine, Thor, Captain America and Spider-Man–and this month you’ll be able to get your own 2014 SDCC Exclusive Deadpool Mr. Potato Head: Dead Peel!
Now then–let’s talk about Mr. Potato Head.
Up until now, only six Marvel characters have been immortalized as Mr. Potato Heads: Wolverine, Spider-Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor and Iron Man. If I said I had ever considered buying even one of these, I would be totally lying.
To get me to take notice of a Marvel Mr. Potato Head Superhero figure, it would have to be something totally cool, limited, unexpected and a favorite character of mine. To my astonishment, there’s actually going to be a figure released that meets those criterion.
I have no clue how well this particular item is going to sell at the show (as SDCC exclusive Mr. Potato Heads are few and far between, believe it or not), but Mr. Potato Head Deadpool is selling online now for around $40 shipped if you’re not attending or want to avoid lining up to get one at the event.
The Deadpeel Mr. Potato Head Deadpool exclusive will be available at the UCC Distributing booth #700 at SDCC 2014 from 7/23/2014-7/27/2014. They’ve allocated 400 units for each day of the convention (the total edition size is 2,000), so theoretically you should be able to grab a Deadpool Potato Head even if you’re only attending Sunday. Dead Peel will retail for $19.99 at SDCC 2014.
I’m dying to know, Marvel collectors–how many of you are contemplating picking up this 2014 SDCC Exclusive Deadpool Mr. Potato Head figure? Is this spud mercenary a must for your collection, or does he not fit in with the meat and potatoes (sorry, I couldn’t help myself) of your collection?
Wow this one looks cool but omfg does the hulk look horrific its horrible deadpeel is probaly the only mr potatoe head figure ill ever get if i decided on getting one ima save my money sdcc for marvel selects XD
As a collector of Mr Potato Head and lover of Marvel this is an insta-buy! Too bad I won’t be at SDCC to get it and will most likely result to paying an arm and a leg on a presale via eBay.
Hey there – In 3 years LQQK how far Deadpool has come – from a Mr Potato Head to his own flick & more on the way – yea! I found this article after I got the piece on Amazon in excellent condition for $30. Funny, they includ a mask but no opening for it – great display piece in or out of the box at 6″.
