Why doesn't Hasbro remake this? This was so goatedPower of the Force is peak toy line, best star wars line ever made. Like, Mcfarlane remade Super Power collection so why not?
>>11657087>>11657130The Toys That Made Us was entertaining, but really surface level, which is probably due to the run time more than anything. Figure lines like Star Wars or MOTU or TMNT need full length documentary movies to really get where they need to go, or maybe a mini series. First episode on the origins of the toy line, second episode covering Empire and Jedi and Kenner's massive growth, third episode on the fall and rebirth with POTF 1 and 2, forth episode on Episode 1, fifth on AOTC and ROTS, and then maybe a final on Black series and Star Wars moving into 6 inch.
>>11657137>and then maybe a final on Black seriesFuck Black series. I wouldn't want them to skip some of the most interesting eras for Star Wars collecting. Really, the lines between movies like POTJ and OTC were interesting just because they kept the line alive even without a movie to push sales (and VOTC was when they started to accept that a collector's market existed), and could probably be included with each prequel episode, but no way in hell would I want them skipping the 2006-2012 era when they made leaps forward in articulation, design and sculpting, dug deep into EU, and made the big ass Millenium Falcon and AT-AT without needing to beg for the money upfront. Most importantly they kicked off TVC. Oh, and Clone Wars. I didn't like the line except for the vehicles, but it was pretty important.
>>11657087I mean, fine. POTF2 is generational at this point. The figures and sets resonate with a certain group of people, I’m fine with dipshit zoomers or older collectors not giving a fuck and keeping them cheap.
>>11657130NTA but yesIt's been a while since I watched it but they made it sound like POTF2 came out after TPM which is total bs
>>11650319>"POTF" Luke>it doesn't have the proportions of a sword and sorcery leadtrash

>>11651120Have you ever seen the barbie doll version of the karen carpenter story?
I have no idea how they sold in the first place considering how ugly they look like. Same with labubu shit. Anime figs look infinitely better.
>>11654526They're (usually) inexpensive bobbleheads of characters from EVERY FUCKING FRANCHISE UNDER THE SUN. For a few things, a Funko Pop is the only thing close to a toy they've ever gotten.I have more contempt for the things than most people, but I will concede this point- the non-standard ones don't look half as bad as the rest.If they don't have a normal face, or if they have a helmet, they're a lot more tolerable for not having those gigantic dead eyes.
What exactly is their strategy here? Are they purposely trying to tank themselves? Will they even exist in 5 years?
>>11655712new CEO?
>>11657008>Hasbro is struggling>they want to get into games without making games>they are licensing off their toy brands>they're pretty much being carriedby cheap cardstock cards sold expensive>meanwhile at Hasbro:
>>11657008Goldner died years ago and had nothing to do with this. Cocks has been in charge since then. He's just an incompetent retard.
>>11657340Yeah, i know Goldner died, who wanted to turn Hasbro into the next Disney.I know that the next CEO started doing away with that and wanted to shift to gaming.... so why the shift AWAY from gaming now? CEOs tend to want to do their own thing, to prove themselves to stockholders and memembers of the board, instead of staying on the path... even if the previous path was profitable.
>>11657528he still wants to shift to gaming, he's just too retarded to do it
>Kills 1:18 at Western retailHeh...Nothin personell...kid...
>>11650399>1/6 is good for figures 1/18 is good for vehicals and large animals. 1/12 is for children.1/6 is good for figures that stand still and never get posed. 1/12 is good for actual figures. 1/18 is good for vehicles and monsters.
>>11649414>After Disney licensing fees I really do think they sold it at the lowest possible price.Not at all. They are gouging just like they're gouging on other figures they make. Do you think that including an MTG card instantly makes an ML worth 47 dollars?
>>11650013I don't want toy vehicles.
>>11657404Having figures with no vehicles only really works with capeshit. Other lines absolutely need vehicles to complete the package.
>>11657419Most people who GI Joe Classified don't have vehicles.
They put the retard barbie on clearance and marked it downs
>>11647582I wonder how it would go with those legs on a regular Barbie.
was checking ebay for NDSS barbies and found the black one
oh boy, my barbie has a hearing aidI wonder how many kids threw tantrums after getting a retarded barbie instead of a normal one and the idiot libtarded parents were confused

Anyone else pre order the Nanmu Tyrannosaurs or the Spinos? I got the two Rexes and the JP3 Spino. Wonder what Dino they're going to do next?
>>11663399I pre-ordered Doe because Buck was out of stock. Gonna be my first figure in the line. I wouldn't be surprised if they do a Dominion/Big Rock Allo next.

Do you have figurines that you buy because you're a fan of Fomo or "for the future, in case I can't afford it later?"And every now and then, you remember that you have this toy, and it makes you feel better?For me it's some Lego and Sonic figures. - Sonic figures distribution is so bad that every non-standart character has a diamond rarity and skyrockets in price. I saw picrelated toy only once in my life and i knew for sure i won't open it because it's a true treasure to me (my fav game after Sonic3 is Sonic Heroes that has this toy as a main villain).- Lego - i just don't have that much space but i for sure know that it's better to have this set now than try to buy it later with it not being just expensive but having an expensive 20-30-40 eur shipping as well.Do you have such examples?Please tell! (i will show more of my stuff later in this thread)
My Walmart recently exploded with new Jakks stuff. I managed to find a Metal Virus Sonic, a Streets of Rage Roo, and an Altered Beast Weredragon.
>>11647441Speaking of overwatch, I own 6 or 7 Sombra Nendoroids. Sometimes I forget, but then I remember it's a thing I have.
>Still no IDW lesbians at WalmartI know their characters suck, but the wolf is hot so I'm piss.
>>11656907same actuallyidk who even buys streets of rage 3 merch in 2025 though
No idea how or why but there's a price error going on for the SEGA line. Got Metal Virus Sonic in store for $2.50, Joe Musashi and Gilius Thunderhead are also $6 in the Walmart app right now.
Was this originally by one of you?
>>11656066probably one of those namefags, I recall one who collects exclusively figma and figuarts
>>11656066I want a Yotsuba figmoe :(
It's actually nuts how cool this thing is. The stereoscopic 3D is really impressive, and a lot of the reels based on cartoons and movies have some exclusive art not found anywhere else. Any collectors? What's the rarest or weirdest reels out there?
>>11655209I have one of the original models for these where it was marketed to adults as well.
>>11655549>Porno on a view masterNow you have my attention.
Many pics on these reels are one-offs, if they all get destroyed it will be lost media unless someone make good scans. How do you even scan these?
>>11656659Just use a regular scanner. There were actually flatbed scanners for a while that had slots for 35mm slides. But yeah, just a scanner at a very high dpi would be enough.
I was just indulging in some nostalgia 3D viewmaster gazing while suddenly I see the sillouhette of an ant walking over the picture. It was kind of terrifying. The actual bug is probably very small but it looked bigger on the View-Master lens.Gotta wash those old reels. Or maybe the bug was on the inside of the visor. I shaked the viewmaster just in case. Gotta clean it too. Haven't used it in decades

oh la la~
>>11652502Actually it's Darwin not Vulcan.Darwin basically is an albino Puerto Rican who can adapt to any attack made against him, making him neigh impossible to kill. He was part of a "lost" team of X-Men alongside Vulcan sent to rescue the original X-Men from Krakoa prior to the forming of the All New All Different X-Men, who only existed because Krakoa massacred Darwin's team. Darwin survived by merging with Vulcan and got extracted from him when Vulcan came back for revenge. He later then joined Xfactor for a bit before being forgotten.His biggest claim to fame was being on X-Men First Class where he was made a normal looking black man played by the guy who went on to play Mr Terrific in James Gunns Superman. The character is quickly killed off in First Class and the actor who played him is still salty as fuck that he didn't get the Jennifer Lawrence treatment simply because he was black.
>>11653289Darwin dying from something he should have adapted to still makes me salty too, damn.
>>11653386>X-Men movie characters generally aren't as insanely OP as the comic characters>nobody really cares most of the time>introduce irrelevant Z-list character nobody ever cared about, with power of being hard to kill>Villain kills him anyway, to showcase how threatening he isI feel like nobody except the "everything in an adaptation must be 100% EXACTLY like the comics" turbo autists would even care if the actor wasn't black and tried to act like his character dying and staying dead was an act of discrimination against him.
>>11653289>he didn't get the Jennifer Lawrence treatment simply because he was blackDefinitely couldn’t have been because he wasn’t Jennifer Lawrence it was 1000% because he’s a nigger.
I like him. I don't know the character, but he's weird looking enough. I remember him having 4 fingers though. Pretty sure I got mine for like 8 bucks or less
Is this the right place to bring awareness that Build-A-Bear spent the last 2 years making this animated series to advertise one of their old plush lines?https://youtube.com/watch?v=jq0e_QT3EYwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFeHUFa3hH0
>>11653085What are they? more plushes?
>>11653057Not quite sure why they're redoing this line when they barely did anything with it the first time. I have vague memories of playing the tie-in mobile game for some reason. Don't really like these new designs, they just don't really "pop" as much as the old ones.
I'm confused what the motivation here is to retool this line that isn't even that old and ended up being mostly forgettable. They don't seem to be changing it immensely either
actually i guess some designs for the new ones got leaked
>>11654032I guess they saw potential in it becoming an IP, and to their credit, they made the characters much more interestinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7kEjgC9ZPs
