Marvel Girl Super Hero Squad Figure Finally In Stores!!!!

Finally, the Marvel Girl & Cyclops Marvel Super Hero Squad figure set is hitting stores in the US. I found it in my local Target today, and more and more are starting to show up on eBay.

It was originally due out last year, but was delayed due to retailers not stocking as many toys for the holidays because of the recession. Finally, it seems like they're finally shipping now. So, start looking for it at a store near you!


Also, today Cartoon Network announced that it will be airing a Super Hero Squad cartoon later this year. The only female character in the promo artwork is Ms. Marvel. Hmmm...., they could use another female character.... maybe a marvel girl ;) .

Rachel Super Hero Squad Figure

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Marvel Girl & Cyclops Super Hero Squad (Wave 11) figure set is going to make it to stores before Christmas. Although a few have shown up on eBay, barring Santa Claus delivering it to your home, it's probably not going to be under your tree for Christmas. :(

On a brighter note, here are pictures of the packaging:



Hopefully, the figure will be available in the next month or so.

Marvel Select Marvel Girl (Rachel Grey) Figure

MarvelousNews has information about a new Rachel action figure. Diamond will be releasing a Jean Grey Marvel Girl figure with a Rachel Grey variant.

Here is how Diamond describes the figures:
The name Marvel Girl has always been a crucial part of the X-Men's history and now this new action figure release delivers the two women responsible for that! Sculpted by Sam Greenwell, the standard Marvel Girl depicts Jean Grey in her retro costume while the variant Marvel Girl features Rachel Grey's more modern look! Collect both to assemble the two pieces of the X-Mansion front gate!

You can see what the figures look like here.

According to Big Bad Toys, the Marvel Girl figure will be out in May 2009.

Rachel Super Hero Squad Figure Coming in December

Entertainment Earth is now offering pre-orders on Hasbro's Super Hero Squad Wave 11, which features a Rachel/Marvel Girl figure (packaged with Cyclops).

Previously it had been reported that Wave 11 would be coming out in the spring of 2009, but Entertainment Earth says Wave 11 will be shipping in December (but that date is subject to change).

So, possibly the Rachel Superhero Squad will be a Christmas present for Rachel fans (fingers crossed).
