Article: Northstar & Aurora Marvel Universe Figures Shown At SDCC *UPDATE*

[Phil]

I'm seeing reports of these out and about in the wild. Or at least the US.

[Le Messor]

Coolcool. I'll keep an eye out down here.

From this year's SDCC it's looking like the Northstar has been pushed back to 2015 rather than missed completely:

[Le Messor]

Excellent. I'll have to keep an eye out for him, too.
Still don't have my Aurora yet.

Ok that's a great find. Nice! Is that the same Northstar shown here:

I wish they'd released him with his sister (which makes more sense than a year later)....Sigh.

Northstar is fiiiiiiinally out.
Not keen on the generic packaging though.
Glad the Aurora one had artwork for both.

I shall also use this as an opportunity to post my near-complete figure collection:

Just missing the 20th Anniversary Snowbird/Puck and the NYCC Minimates2 pack.

And while I'm at it:

Missing looooooooads of the busts, and two of the Heroclix: Invincible Iron Man wave Sasquatch(Exiles) and Shaman.

[Le Messor]

Were you collecting mostly only one of the Diamond or Bowen busts?
Are the full statues unofficial ones?

I have all the mini-mates, but none of the Heroclix. I have the 20th anniversary ones (though I don't think I've heard them called that before!), but not either of the Wizard Guardians, or the Aurora MU one. That last is the one that's really been bugging me. I've been keeping an eye out for it for over a year now. That and an Azog, but that's going for collectors prices now. (And has nothing to do with AF, it's just the only other action figure I'm after.)

I'll have to start looking for N'star now.

Where did you buy the Northstar figure at? I've been everywhere but no one is selling it

[Phil]

It was at the UK-wing of Walmart, but I've seen a few on e-Bay too.

[rplass]

Can't find it either yet. LCS says distributor isn't carrying it at the moment. I'll keep looking. It will turn up.

I bought one on eBay but need to get another one to take out of the package for a little project I'm working on.

[cmdrkoenig67]

I got two Northstars on Evilbay for 13.85 each a short time ago. I agree with Phil, the packaging is lame...I wished that they used the same as Aurora's. It's a pretty good figure, but his head is very large (as was Aurora's head).

Amazon emailed me to let me know they had them available too.
It's not a good time for me to get one, but at least I know I can.
