Marvel Infinite Series 1 Revision: 2 Wasps Per Case!

Posted on by March 22, 2014

Even though the first wave of the Hasbro Marvel Infinite Series 4″ figures is just starting to hit stores in the last week, the long-wanted Wasp figure is already burning up the aftermarket and selling for $30+. But fear not, Marvel Universe-scale fans! Help is on the way in the form of a case assortment that at least I think is pretty decent, which brings us two Janet Van Dyne Wasp figures–as well as two of everybody else–per case…

Marvel Infinite Series 1 Revision 1 Case

I’ve been pretty outspoken about my distaste for the case assortments Hasbro has been putting together for, well, all of their Marvel lines this year. One of the ones that bothered me the most was the choice to pack the hotly-anticipated Avengers Infinite Series Wasp at one-per-case for no discernible reason.

Thankfully, Hasbro has seen the error of their ways (in this instance). The Marvel Infinite Series 1 Revision 1 case assortment has been confirmed, and the case is set to include an even split of two each of the Wasp, Grim Reaper, Hyperion, Iron Man, Captain America and Indestructible Hulk figures.

While I totally understand why folks are concerned about the Marvel Infinite Series Captain America and Heroic Age Iron Man repacks haunting shelves for the entire year, I’m going to be cautiously optimistic.

Marvel Avengers Infinite Series Captain America PackagedWith most stores having dispatched their awful Iron Man 3 Assemblers figures already and the Captain America: The Winter Soldier 4″ figures being mediocre, I think there may actually be enough kids and moms out there to buy up the Caps and Iron Men (at least for a little while).

It’s a win-win for everyone (just as long as Hasbro is smart enough to stop shipping Captain America and Iron Man repacks after Series 2).

Are you pleased with the even-packed case ratios in the Marvel Universe 2014/Marvel Infinite Series Revision 1 case, Marvel collectors? Or are you confident that the plentiful Captain America and Iron Man figures will clog shelves for months and months to come?

Marvel Infinite Series 1 Revision: 2 Wasps Per Case! — 10 Comments

  1. Is it possible Hasbro has finally removed their heads from their asses? ‘Bout time, way to go !!!

  2. It doesn’t matter! I live in northeast Georgia, and these will never hit our shelves. Marvel is even hard to find in Atlanta. I’m glad some of you are enjoying finding these though!

    • Oh,no! Say it ain’t so! Say it ain’t so,joe! I’m lookin out for ’em right down here in Orlando! You sayin’ they Not in Hotlanta!? WhutDwhut! “When the East is in the house!” It’s the Dirty South” lol

  3. Yeah,yeah,so far,so good. Congrats to Hasbro for using common sense.
    Now, whacha gon’ do about unreleased legends variants and this hydra/aim drought situation?

  5. They should be evenly packing all waves of all lines. I just paid $50 for a black widow legends figure. And when i remember that I need 2 of them… ugh!

  6. I still can’t find her anywhere!!! I’ve found all the other figures from this wave multiple times, but not even a glimpse of wasp. I don’t wanna pay $35 but I might have to if I want to add her to my collection.

    • Why not just wait. It’s not like she’s isn’t going to be repacked in another case or isn’t going to be available on Hasbro’s site anymore.

  7. I only found wasp one per case. I got lucky and arrived at a local store just as the case was opened. Wasp is mine 🙂 only one wasp was in the case and the owner looked and said this can’t be right. Three iron men and I still have 2 marvel universe iron men on the pegs. The rest you will have to use your imagination on his iron man over stock displeasure with hasbro. I bought a Hyperion and grim reaper as well. I told him the next waves will be better and hope they will order them and not think all sets will be like this. I am not sure if the later cases will be two wasps I can only hope. Thanks 🙂
