Well folks, after being at NYCC from the break of day on Thursday until just a little while ago today, I wanted to share in images the fun we had. We sat for a bunch of great panels, got some cool freebies, met some cool people, and even got a custom Nova Sketch from Andy Lanning!
Check out the images!

I would like to extend a very heartfelt thanks to Hasbro for having MUReview out to their swanky shin-dig tonight in NYC. Twas the Night Before Party for NYCC 2014 as hosted by Hasbro.
This has quickly become one of my favorite parts about NYCC, heck, about the neat things I get to do because of this website.
The good folks at Hasbro put their wares on display and did not disappoint.
What was shown:
Angry Birds Transformers
Kre-O
Mashers
Nerf
My Little Pony
Star Wars Black (Including …THE EMPEROR!!)
MARVEL INFINITE
MARVEL SUPER AWESOME ME!!
Avengers Six Inch Figures (Hulk, Cap, Valkyrie)
Fantastic past apps and deserts!
For this site, let me talk about what’s important. In the Marvel Infinite 3.75 scale, we got to see painted versions of Thunderstrike, Doc Ock and Armored Daredevil as well as Shanna. All full of win! Juggernaut Colossus was on display, as was Sandman, Valkyrie, Grey Beast and Vulture and I am appreciative to have seen all of them!
The highlight, and the consumer of the night, was the teeming line of folks waiting to be Super Awesome’d (Turned into a 12 inch action figure of Iron Man or Captain America). I waited, and waited, and hopefully soon I will be able to share the results. The process was quick and painless and remarkably, used an Xbox 360 Kinect! I can’t wait to share it with you all!
Again, thank you Hasbro, I can’t wait for the holiday season and 2015…TAKE MY MONEY!! (and now…the pictures!)
