One of the advantages of living in the Philippines aside from the food is the fact that sometimes, items are available earlier due to the closer proximity to Asia. Toyark board member koolas’ recent haul is a shining example of this: he just got his hands on Marvel Universe Wave 16! Featuring a mix of repaints, and retooled figures, this wave features some long awaited additions to the Marvel Universe line.
Marvel Universe Wave 16
- Magneto
- Iceman
- Tony Stark Iron Man Extremis Armor
- Absorbing Man
- Astonighing X Men Wolverine
Here's my massive MU haul today.
The new wave with the Astonishing Wolverine and new Magneto just came out today here in Manila! I can't believe it came out this early with the Rogers wave just coming out recently.

Congrats on the score, but koolas beat you to the post in the appreciation thread.
Thanks for the extra pics though.
Oops! Missed that! But thanks man! I'm so happy to get both the Rogers wave and this! Great day for Filipino collectors! Been an MU drought here lately!
It makes sense that these would be released so close together. MU Wave 3 took forever to get to the stores and in some regard most places never even saw them. I blame the whole Dr Strange variant/regular deal
But yeah now they are playing catch up I think
This wave looks freakin AWESOME!!!!! Cant wait for Iceman and Absorbing Man.
Man that is soo awesome. I had no idea iron man was going to cone with an extra head.
Meh. Wolverine is waaay too big.
Iron Man looks okay...blue Unibeam is kinda odd.
Magneto looks okay from what I can see...hopefully there will be a variant in classic colors.
Absorbing Man though...what's the point? The SW version is easy to find and the paint apps look kinda better to me- in this new version he's just human?
Still...at this pace, we'll get the Beta Ray Bill wave for christmas!
Here's a quick front and back shot of each figure from Wave 16.
Iron Man looks okay...blue Unibeam is kinda odd.

haha,I didnt see this thread and posted a link in the MU thread about this new find,hasbro sure seems to be pumping out the waves,too bad retail doesnt have a clue!
Wow.. guess wallet comes back out, although I may pass on half the wave. But I always say that til I see them in person. ><
I'm going to wait on this wave. It's going to be one of those not so fresh waves so the prices will come down. Is Magneto really as crappy as he looked in the preview photos with the AIM belt and all?
WOW, haven't even found the latest one yet.
Lucky!!! Iceman looks so awesome
I need to get that wolverine. Finally the one I've been waiting for!

Here's another comparison shot since the x-force wolvy is the same sculpt also:
wolvy is the only for sure buy, magneto maaaaybe. the rest i already have in some fashion.
Huh,,,he looks huge in his card...if he's small and uses that X-Force sculpt...I'll have to get im.
sigh,...another Wolverine.
sigh,...another Wolverine.
Better than Patch? NO WAY!
LOL!
i hated that figure so much. i bought the pack only for silver samurai. the lips on wolverines face are three times the normal size and i cant unsee him puckering his lips. blaaagh.
He's got the best claws too- I'll be transferring them onto this new fig (assuming those claws are not seperate pieces?).
another ironman?? whats diff about this one?
My least favorite wave was the Mary Jane wave... I didn't buy anything from that wave. LOL.
