Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere,

But Hasbro did reveal other things besides Movie figures at Toyfair believe it or not.

Along with the already known Thor, Captain America and Venom, We get a look at their 4rth (if I'm not mistaken) repaint of the Marvel Crossovers Line Wolverine. Wolverine is getting repainted into ...well.. Wolverine.

His Brown and Yellow Costume.

Its a repaint everybody saw coming since the original Wolvy was first seen.

Also we get a better look at the Iron Man + Spider-Man Combiner.

Looks like Iron Man works as armor for the smaller Spider-Man chopper in Robot mode.

Click here for Wolverine pics, and here for pics of the Iron Man Spider-Man combiner.

I Like Wolverine's scheme, and I'm intrigued by the Iron-Man Spider-Man combiner. I just wish there where better pictures.

Is it just me, or does Captain America no longer have the 'scale' pattern on his hood / chest?

Kinda wishing I had waited on Wolverine now...

I've actually passed on most of the Marvel Crossovers. The only one I've bough is Human Torch and I'm very happy with him.

I'll be picking up Wolvy in these colors, and Cap and Thor too.

You are right, the hood is now just smooth blue. Interesting.

I'm clearly missing something here but where are you guys seeing the repaints of Thor and Captain America?

EDIT: Oh nevermind I see...

Who said anything about repaints of Thor and Cap?

The new Repaint is Wolverine.

Thor and Cap are the same figures we've already seen, the only difference is Cap's hood is now smooth instead of having the scale pattern.

Scale Pattern Cap:

Oh, sorry. If you go to that gallery plugged in the first post and just click "next" a few times, you'll see a pic of car mode Captain America Hummer... and the 'scale pattern' on the hood is gone, it's now smooth with the star in the middle.

Nah I get it...Just missread the first post...Although, unless it's just a trick of photography, it looks like Cap and Thor might be sporting glossy finishes now...Probably would look better too...But I don't care enough to rebuy them...Rebuy Cap, I mean...I would never pay money for the piece of **** Thor figure...

But do you care enough to repaint Cap into Classics Roadbuster?

Actually no

...I can see that working, but I'm totally happy with the CD HotShot repaint of Roadbuster...

Brown and yellow Wolvie looks weird to me. He should either be blue and yellow, or brown and orange.

I was going to say the same thing...After looking at it a bit it occurred to me that the yellow should be more orangish...Ah well, I'll just go ahead and stick with the blue and yellow one I already bought...

I'm just debating on whether or not I want the combiners...I already have regular Spider-Man and Iron Man and though I like the two combiners individually, I think the combined forms are pretty useless...I'll probably just skip them unless I see them in the store and just can't resist for some reason (very doubtful)...
