supersorrell Super Show podcast I wanted to bring you guys a special episode

with you the brief that I've received here from Marvel since sending me this

Marvel comms website but I was sent this in an email by the press team at Marvel
and Hasbro as well seems to be on board with this so we're gonna go through it
bit by bit Marvel is turning 80 years old this year
it's such a shame that Stan could not see this moment because it sounds like
they've got a lot planned and obviously he would have had a maybe had a lot to
say miss maybe but um Stan Lee's no longer with us subtly so that's one of
the one of the awful things that came out of this year well last year but guys
this is the first of many hopefully supersorrell Super Show podcasts I'd
like to do this kind of on a regular basis maybe weekly but I don't want to
tie myself down to a schedule because I want to do this when it feels natural

timeless stories that brought the Marvel Universe to the forefront of popular
culture Marvel celebrates the historic 80th anniversary all year long with your
favorite Marvel Comics games shows collectibles fashion and more very
interesting to read that guy's it sounds like cuz obviously Disney now owned
Marvel I think they're doing what they did with Mickey's 90th so Mickey's 19th
celebration every month the Disney star released new merchandise on a different
version of Mickey through the ages and different color patterns and things
like that I wonder if they know do similar things with Marvel so like
January might be Black Panther February might be spider-man stuff like that and
they'll go through with the most iconic characters that would be interesting to
see and I wonder where they're gonna go with this and how far they're gonna go
with this cuz I'm going to Disney parks in March so that's a couple of like
that's like two months from now will there be something for me to see and do
in Disney World that's gonna be interesting to find out
and it says in the coming weeks and months so they have more to announce
London toy fairs at the end of this month and Hasbro are there Disney is
also there I wonder if anything will get announced at the London toy fair whether
than I save it for New York would be very interesting to see can't wait to
check that out now don't forget guys I'm at London Toy Fair at the end of this
month and I'll be in London for the Monday and Tuesday it's the 21st and
22nd of this month so I will be in the London if anybody wants to meet up and
do something I'm tempted to host a meet-up and see if any you guys want to
come so please let me know Marvel's 80th year oh wow they've been
around a long time I followed Marvel since I was a kid I've
been reading the comics since I was old enough to read I was in hospital a lot
as you know as you guys know I've got lots of disabilities and I was in
hospital a lot as a child and spider-man and x-men were my escape over the
hospital and it still is to this day to be fair I still love those two comics to
this day but the fact that they've said there's gonna be special edition
merchandise toys and collectibles that's interesting I am really excited to see
what they come up with because Marvel and Disney are gonna they're gonna
really go to town on this and they've already made the logo they want us to
use the hashtag Marvel 80 so definitely definitely be using that on social media
to let them know we're interested hopefully we'll get some stuff here in
the UK I know what it's like trying to get collectables in the UK but we do
have lots of people that can help us out like in demand toys
and Kapow toys and people like that The Avengers Black Panther quest they
released a bunch of The Avengers toys when the first started doing that TV
series and they've not done anything for a while so with that new Black Panther
announcement I'm wondering whether we're gonna get a bunch of new toys based on
the Black Panther is occurs the cartoon that'd be cool
and I'm guessing all future merchandise this year might have the Marvel 80-years
logo on it pretty much like what Disney did with every Mickey release this year
it had the Mickey's 90th anniversary logo on it that includes like even downs
like I've just bought a t-shirt today from Asda which is a supermarket here in
the UK Walmart until the Americans saved
company him they had a Mickey's nine like he said you just had Mickey Mouse
on the t-shirt with a nice Mickey logo on it and then when you when you look at
the label it's got like the ninetieth logo on it so I mean I wondered if
Marvel's gonna do a similar thing here where we're gonna but see like nice new
t-shirts and things with new designs on and I'll have the little 80th
anniversary logo I am very excited to see what they do with this announcement
it's gonna be a lot of fun I think we're gonna get some great toys but let's
let's speculate what could we get if they're celebrating 80 years I'd like to
see some like proper collector's box sets of Marvel Legends some re releases
as well as some like we've been we've had legends now for quite a while I'd
like to see some modern re-releases especially one that we haven't had in a
long time like I know it's still classed as the best one we've got that's only
because it's the only one we've got and that's the the x-men toad toybiz toad is
amazing I really like that figure but it would be cool to get a modern update
with modern articulation skew of me that's a big guy Scott right cuz I'm
like Thor my drink from goblets but yeah I'm really interested to see
what they do with this and obviously these new logos pretty decent as well as
a nice logo and I've used as the background for the the podcast here I've
just kind of read flicking through this little announcement now on my computer
here and it sounds really good what they're
planning I'm just heading over to the Marvel 80th anniversary page now as well
to see what else is on there but I think it's just I it's just the same is the
same thing I've just ran out awesome I'm also a member of the Disney it's very
Disney the Marvel Universe what's the actually called meetings
called Marvel Universe a little app that I've got Marvel unlimited sorry I do
apologize Marvel unlimited and that's where I've been reading all my comics
I've now gone digital fully with my comics I've got as I've kind of said in
a couple of videos recently I'm going off my DC comic to battle it and I've
started reading a lot more Marvel so this app is perfect and it doesn't cost
more doesn't go like seven pounds but it's like it gives me a month's access
so I thought of using it when I go to Florida obviously I kind of got all the
comic books I wanted my fingertips all the comic books they're just six months
behind but they have all the entire back catalogue so I mean like old daredevil
comics of our old hunt here which is awesome from 1964 that comic Wow so
hopefully we'll get some new stuff on that app and I'll start putting up some
new issues and if you look at all you can't actually see it cuz I've zoomed in
on the picture of the Marvel 80 it's logo you can't see it but on the actual
if you go on the Marvel Marvel comm forward slash Marvel 80th anniversary
you'll see that they have like a collect that it says collect them all and it's
the old fashioned dolls that they used to do back in like I think I was like 19
70 to 80 they're like big doll versions of like Captain America Hulk Iron Man
and Thor and I wonder if they're gonna know if that's like a hint that we're
gonna see those get like a rerelease that would be sick to get some like
vintage stuff released in mod like with modern what's the word produce thing
like the modern era but still the same style as the retro ones and this simple
like what star wars did when they release the old boba fett and stuff like
that it'll be really cool to see what they what they really do with it I'm
really like excited now and obviously Scott on these images well
we seen Rocket Raccoon Daredevils on their paws on their back when Thor had a
little mask on as well that's well old the old Dunc man's on there seems to
revolve around the Avengers like there's a lot of Avengers imagery and there's a
thaaaat image there as well so if that's anything to go by would be
sick to see them you know bring back these these iconic
comic book what storylines you know like the the first infinity war the secret
Wars the stuff like I'd love to see them get re released with the 80th logo I'd
buy all them in a second guys what do you want to see as a part of the 80th
anniversary of marble here what would you guys like to see I'm gonna stay
tuned to this I'm gonna keep reading about it some more because I think
there's gonna be a bunch of stuff and now it's real soon
it did say coming weeks and coming months so I think they're bushmen ounce
in a few weeks and I've got a feeling we might see something at London Toy Fair
just the fact that they said weeks and London Toy Fair just happens to be in a
couple of weeks um am I getting ahead of myself do you think I'm very excited
though I hope you guys are too guys I hope you enjoyed this little chat about
the marvel 18th anniversary press release if you want to see this kind of
thing in the future please let me know in the comments below I'd love to hear
back from you and your thoughts on me talking like this to you obviously
