Toys R Us Exclusive

The Secret Avengers comic pack was shown at conventions and was even advertised on Hasbro.com, but never made it to retail though a few of them sold on eBay.

Scarlet Spider (Kaine version) was originally intended to be a single-card release and appears on some card backs for Marvel Infinite Series Wave 3 2015.

A comic pack with comic versions of Ronan the Accuser and Korath was listed here but never released. The Ronan would have had a Universal Weapon accessory, and Korath would have had beta-batons.

Hasbro revealed at conventions prototypes of these team sets to be sold in the second half of 2013. However, they were cancelled with an indication that efforts would be made to reintroduce these figures in the rebranded Marvel Infinite toyline.

This Walmart-exclusive wave includes a regular 33⁄4" scale figure with a larger 12" figure. Each one will be packaged with a comic book, showing the inspiration for the set. An asterisk to the right of the comic title denotes a variant figure or running change in the set.

This wave has been released. The packaging, with artwork by Mike Deodato, is designed to lie on its side due to the large nature of the product. It will include a flip-open top so consumers can see the figure inside. Hasbro brand manager Scott George provides the voice of Galactus.

Hasbro revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2011 a finished prototype of Fin Fang Foom (orange version) for sale in 2012, but it was never released and in 2013 was finally confirmed as cancelled. It was stated by David Vonner that the packaging would prominently feature Howard the Duck with Fin Fang Foom advertised as the pack-in figure, as a humorous reversal of the typical arrangement of the top billing going to the large figure and the smaller being considered a pack-in.

To receive these figures, one would have to subscribe to Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited website. The character offered seems to change each year, with Nick Fury in 2009 and Archangel in 2010. New York Comic Con 2010 attendees could purchase Archangel as an incentive for subscribing at the convention. In February 2011, Marvel.com offered Archangel to NEW subscribers only.

The following are all single-carded figures with their own special numbering and artwork by Joe Quesada. SD1 through SD4 are packaged together as part of The Invaders Box Set, while the black and white Captain America is sold separately from the set.

This line consists of themed three-packs and are sold exclusively at Toys "R" Us. Hasbro mislabeled the Soldiers and Henchmen's Chaste Ninja as a "white" Hand Ninja.

These two-packs are exclusive to Target and feature repaints and new bodies for previously released characters. Like the Soldiers and Henchmen 3-Pack's "white" Hand Ninja, Hasbro misrepresents The Hand once again with a new "black" Hand Ninja. In this version, the "black" Hand Ninja is a single individual who has trained extensively to combat exclusively with Wolverine.

This set is a Toys R Us and Disney Store exclusive.

This five pack was available through Wal-Mart in the winter of 2011 and featured repaints of previously released figures.

Released first at San Diego Comic-Con 2012, then Toys R US.
