Marvel Handful of Heroes Contest!!!
Guess the next Wave of characters before they are out!




Maybe I'm jumping ahead! It could be till next year before we see a new Wave of Marvel Handful of Heroes, but lets for the moment assume the line is successful, and we will in fact get a second Wave! So far we have possibly 2 new sculpts revealed for the next Wave, Onslaught & Raised Arm Hulk! And one out of place recolor of Gladiator Hulk! :o Will we get 40 new sculpts? Or 20 new Sculpts with 20 recolors? Or will we get 40 new Sculpts and tons of recolors?!! Who knows!

So here is your chance to test your guesstimation abilities! Can you Predict what new Heroes and Villains will pop up in this new wave!!!?? Well we are here to find out! ;)

WHAT ARE THE RULES!!!????

1): All entries must be P.M.ed to me with Subject Title "Handful of Heroes Contest!!!" (This will help me keep my P.M.s organized, so I don't accidentally delete or lose your entry.) Only 1 Entry per Member please!
2): All entrants must Post in this thread that they have P.M.ed me their List! (this ensures Topic activity and continued interest for other entries) I will not accept your list unless you do so, it's easy to do, so there's no reason not to! ;)
3): Each Correct Guess will equal 1 point. We are assuming Wave 2 will have 40 new figures. (since the 2 new sculpts mentioned above are not confirmed, you can still use them as a guess!)
4): Hero and Villain Entries must be exact to receive a full point for each guess! Half Guesses will gain a .5 score.
Example: **"#25 = Hulk" will only receive a .5 score if a Hulk sculpt is in the second wave and is not a basic Hulk sculpt. Examples of non standard Hulks would be "Zombie Hulk", Or "Maestro Hulk", etc.. The first 40 New Sculpt guesses will only apply to New Sculpts and not repacked Wave 1 sculpts.
5): I will accept a maximum of 40 new sculpt guesses for a total possible score of 40 points! However assuming that there are recolored sculpts from Wave 1 included I will also be accepting a secondary list of 20 recolored guesses! Example: **"#12 = Gladiator Hulk in Blue" each guess will only receive a .5 score for a possible total of 10 points! So you have a chance to get 50 total points! This second list is not mandatory, and you can guess any number of guesses under the maximum accepted number under each list.
6): But wait URS!! What if your wrong!? What if a new Wave is never released and Handful of Heroes is a major flop!? Don't worry! ;) I've got you covered! I myself will be writing up my own list of guesses! In the event that Hasbro cancels the line before a second wave is announced or released, all entries will be compared to my personal list. The 3 members with the highest score in comparison with my list will each receive a Cancellation Consolation prize!
7): How long will the contest run? The contest will run and accept new entrants until part of the Second Wave figures are confirmed and or released. This could be till next year! Who knows? But once any new sculpts are revealed to the public confirmed as Second Wave figures I will no longer accept new entries.
8): Once Wave 2 is completely revealed or released all entries will be posted and graded publicly.
9): In the event that Hasbro neither releases any new waves of Handful of Heroes, or for some reason does not provide any new information on the line giving a hint to it's cancellation and demise, I will post that no new entries will be accepted, and proceed to grade the entries received.
10): Optional::: If you want to add some fun to the contest, try guessing the exact colors of each new figure! We don't know if Hasbro will stick with the original color palette for Wave 1, but heck who knows! Colors to choose from (Light Blue, Dark Green, Black, Yellow, Light Green, Dark Red, Light Red, Dark Blue, Lavender, and Maroon) No prize given, but you will win bragging rights for your extra guessing abilities. :unsure:
11): WARNING!!! Foreign members not living in the United States are welcome to play! However cost of shipping prizes to foreign lands could prove difficult, and an unnecessary expense on my part. :lol: So it should be known, that if a foreign member has a winning entry, I will try my best to find the cheapest shipping method for you, however if the expense proves too high, I will have no choice but to limit your prize, or forfeit your prize to the second scoring entry. In the event that a prize is shipped to a foreign member (or any member to be exact), I in no way am responsible for loss or damage of said prize. Sorry guys, nothing personal. The size and weight of the products in question should not prove too difficult, however please be aware of the possibility.

So what am I willing to offer for this seemingly simple Contest?

(At least 10 entries must be accepted by Contests end.)

First Place Prize!!!: First Place winner will receive 3 sealed Packs of Marvel Handful of Heroes (Wave 1 or 2, depends on what's available to me at the time)

Second Place Prize!!!: So you didn't win! For your consolation you will receive 1 sealed Pack of Marvel Handful of Heroes!!! :p Your not a loser after all!

Third Place Consolation Prize!!!: You didn't win, but you did okay! You will get 6 loose Marvel Handful of Heroes of my choice just cause I like you, and a mini insert poster! :lol:

The Dreaded Cancellation Consolation Prize!!!: In the event that Hasbro cancels the Handful of Heroes line, and a second wave is never released, I will send 6 loose Handful of Heroes figures of my choice to the 3 top scoring members who's guess lists most match my personal guess list! Why such a smaller prize URS? Well there wouldn't really be a right answer! So essentially the winners may not have won the real First 3 Prizes!

If anyone else for some reason would like to contribute to the prize pool feel free! However it should be understood that You (the contributor) and NOT I, will be responsible for your contribution and it's delivery to the respective winner.

So How should your entries look? Below I am providing you a simple template to go by for your guesses! However I will accept any template, so if you want to be creative fine! Want to write or draw your entry then scan and P.M. it to me whatever! Go for it. :D

Any problems? Concerns? Questions? Confusion? Feel free to post and ask, I will try my best to clarify! Also if you would like to publicly discuss this contest and post in this thread feel free! Talk about characters and figures you would like to see! And remember you don't have to collect or even like Handful of Heroes to enter, And if for any reason you want to play, but don't want a prize then let me know. Either way get them entries in soon, cause we all know how Unpredictable Hasbro can be. ;)

Well, uh... let's see... I guess...

Mickey Mouse
Donald Duck
Aladdin
Snow White

Nah, I'm kidding. Sounds like an interesting game. I'll have to think about it for sure, though I'm sure some of the characters I like wont be finding their way into any of the sets, unless it runs for 10 waves or something and they start running out of characters.

Why doesn't anyone like Man-Thing?

Just like wave 1 was all Hulks, this one will be all Mickeys.

I will try to enter this contest, and win it.

Cool, thanks guys for trying. Really there is some good thinking skills needed. Hasbro seems to stick to the most popular characters, but occasional and for little to no reason throws some less known character out there.

And Airot, I would sooooo love a Man-Thing figure in this set!

Hey, hey, I just remembered what I meant to post in my last post; if I win and it costs too much to post the prize to me, instead of forfeiting the prize, can I just pay part/all the postage cost?

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask this as well; should we include onslaught and raised arm hulk in the lists, or not? Seeing as we've seen them, they're probably going to be in a set so they would probably wind up counting as free points.

I think it would probably be better to not allow their inclusion in the list. I don't know though, there's a chance they may just be discarded prototypes, so in the end, who knows if they would be free points or dead weight?

I left that as optional with the word "Possibly" in the first paragraph. So You can include them, or not! There's nothing wrong with a few free points, cause you know at least everyone has the chance to get a few starter points. ;) As for dead weight figures, I doubt it. There was a reason Hasbro put Onslaught on the back of that card, and in the very middle. Whether he is a Wave 1 Chase figure, or a Wave 2 exclusive, I'm pretty sure he will be popping up somewhere.

Thanks for the good questions!

Just a heads up folks! And a reminder of the contest.... I know alot of us still havn't seen these guys in stores, so I can understand the lack of interest.

But Thanks to jharrop123 for the heads up on Entertainment Earth listing Handful of Heroes wave 2 up for preorder! Preorder is set for January 2010, so we may have little more than a couple months left on this contest.

Really? Nobody wants a chance to get free toys? :unsure: Only 3 entrants. This contest is only getting a short window of opportunity to continue. 3 new sculpts have already been revealed. That's not many, and I won't say who. But if anymore images start popping up with new figures I will close the contest. I need 7 more entries. The release date is planned for January, but we know that usually means December or something. :woot:

Hey! I have no problem keeping the prizes if I have to. :rolleyes: So you better enter now.

Alright. I'm putting an end date on the contest January 1st. Unless they start hitting shelves before then, but as of now, all entries must be accepted by January the 1st. I still need 7 entrants.

You guys suck. :o

Well, guess that's it. Nobody else entered. Thanks to the 3 of you guys who did send in your guesses. :)

I didn't realize guessing 40 characters was so much of a chore. :lol: I mean, it's not like you guys had to paint or build custom figures then send em in. :lol:

Some great guesses guys! Thanks for being sports and entering. I still hope to see who got the most right, even though the contest was a flop. :) I have to say, it's interesting how some of us thought so much alike. It's a shame more people didn't enter, cause as you can see, quite a few guesses between the 4 of us were the same.

Shame you didn't get the entries, but it was fun anyhoo. ^_^ I'm still quite curious how it will turn out as well. I'm not much in the know on the line, I hope you or someone will be able to post a list when it is known so we can compare.

Edit: Some of mine were totally wishful thinking, I think (Living Tribunal?). However, I would have totally included Mysterio if I had thought of it. :)

I thought some of you guys had great guesses, and I actually thought I had put some characters in my list, like Fix-It Hulk and Ghost Rider, but I apparently didn't. ^_^

I don't know about you guys, but I had quite a time deciding who I thought would be best suited to fill out this next wave. I kept removing names and adding new ones once I thought of them. I actually thought of the characters on my list in accordance with the available colors. Like Thanos to me would have made sense in Lavender, and Black Costume Spidey in black.

Ireland30 had the most common guesses compared to my list at 18 matches, but he also had the most in common between all 4 of us at 29! So maybe I should be saying I had 18 in common with his list. :D I was very pleased with how many similar guesses there were between 2 or more of us, but also excited to see so many unique guesses as well. Out of 160 possible slots, any of which could have been chosen from over 5000 characters these were the results.

Pretty good odds considering, and I believe quite a few of our choices will turn out to be figures in wave 2. I'm just hoping we get 40 new sculpts, and they don't go mixing half old and half new. :) If they put any old sculpts in this wave, they better be new colors, so I feel justified in purchasing them. Either way I can't wait to see which if any of us had the most correct answers. :) I'm actually hoping its dead even. :D
