>movie comes out in 2 weeks>still no toy line revealWtf are Hasbro doing? We even got Funko Pops reveals!
>>11572224All I could find was damn funko shit. It's very unusual to be this close to a movie release without merch out. The movie may suck and flop, in which time Hasbro's best window to sell the figures is before the release (which they're wasting away).
>>11572230This is unusual for Hasbro who usually has stuff out a month or more before a movie release.
>>11572230What if Hasbro cancelled the toy line? Could Disney fuck them over for that?
>>11572234I do
>>11572233I am pretty sure that if Hasbro cancelled it then we would all know by now. Maybe Disney asked them to hold it back until after the release for the sake of "surprise characters."
>>11572224The NIN soundtrack is dope>>11572236They revealed the 80s grid in the tv spots so maybe that? Maybe MCP is the main villain.
>>11572237I think Crystal Method would have been a better fit for the soundtrack. >They revealed the 80s grid in the tv spots so maybe that?Or they're trying to nostalgia-trip people to get people to see it?
>>11572240>Or they're trying to nostalgia-trip people to get people to see it?Well they got mehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rLISraV5neE
>>11572231Funkos
>>11572265What I want: vintage-style figures that'll blend in seamlessly with the 1982 Tomy originals and early-00s NECA reissuesWhat I expect: more Funko pop-vinyl and black series/classified style figures.
>>11572268I wish lego made tron sets
>>11572269If it's successful enough then they may. Who knows?
>>11572271Maybe under icons but I think it will flop...A Tron 1 set would be neat
>>11572224The grid...
I really liked Legacy's toyline
>>11572555I really liked the super7 5POA figures that are reminiscent of the originals
>>11572231I hate Funko Slop so much it's unreal.
>>11572619Same here. There's nothing about it that's cool, but a lot of people are mindlessly addicted to collecting it.
>>11572268Super7 made some vintage style ones that blended well with the NECA figures.
>>11572644They also made lightcycles.
hasbro fucking sucks with licensed stuff and they constantly blame the licensori wish disney cut ties with them
>>11572778>blaming Hasbro instead of DisneyAnon Disney is shit… don't tell me you like Disney
>>11572816Tron is Disney
>>11572816>>11572778Both suck. It's always a good idea to get stuff out ahead of a movie's release just in case it's a flop.
>>11572644what is it about super 7 where the product is too smooth looking? they look like toys for a new-born
>>11572833It's like a semi-opaque plastic that gives them a "milky" look to them. I would have preferred the clear plastic, but they're workable enough.
I saw Nine Inch Nails in LA, Trent did a few songs from the new Tron movie.
>>11572555Legacy came about when Star Wars Black Series was new and establishing the 6in scale. I'm glad (forgotten company) made those figures but failed to make the girl fig even though they had a prototype in the photos.Hope they try again with the new movie coming out.Not interested in 5POA/Super7/Funko shit
>>11573098Spin Master
>>11572224Hasbro has a reveal of some kind today at 10 AM PT. Maybe we'll finally see the Tron stuff.
>>11573208Nothing?
>>11572833You are correct, Brian Flynn is (mentally) a newborn.
Hasbro Tron toy line will be revealed at NYCC, they teased it on hasbro pulse
>>11574086Nope. Nothing. The only thing new shown is a "collector's popcorn bucket," cup, and fucked if I know what the mini-arcade is.
>>11574340And it's stupid. Hasbro just threw away millions by waiting until after the movie came out. They now run the risk of having unsellable toys they'll take a loss on if the movie turns out to suck and flop.
>>11574390I mean, the toys they teased seem to be based only on Tron and Tron Legacy, nothing on Ares. They seemed totease remakes of the electronic spin master legacy figures.
WellIs the original Tron worth a watch?
>>11574409>>11574411Not sure if I want that, especially if they're more milky-white figures with paint to try to make them look like the costumes without the effects lighting in the movies. I'd honestly prefer more clear plastic because it's a nicer aesthetic for Tron in toy form, but I know we won't get that.
I want this
>>11574431Kino
oh boy another shitch-inch line that will go to ollie's like the indiana jones adventure series
>>11574411It's the best one. The sequel is trash and people wanted something more like the Tron 2.0 game, but it's better than current era slop.
>>11574553Speak for yourself. I love the sequel.
Firat two Movie toys would be great of course, but what I want more than anything is TRON Uprising toys. God, I loved Tron himself's design in that show, it was perfect. Tesler and his goonsquad would be sweet as well.Of course, I also wouldn't at all mind Tron 2.0 toys, but I'm not holding my breathe...
>>11574566>>11574553Best Tron media for me is Tron Uprising and Space Paranoids in Kingdom Hearts 2 (but that's really more just in a fanservicey way Uprising was the best.) Too bad diamond select sucked because they actually did Sora Donald and Goofy to go with their Tron toys.
>>11574801>wouldn't at all mind Tron 2.0 toys, but I'm not holding my breathe...They made Tron 2.0 toys back in the day but I dont know how good they were. I never played 2.0 either but these designs are sick.
>>11572650Goddamn spin master did syd mead’s design justice wtf is thatCollectible shampoo bottles?
>>11574963That's weird because the original Tomy lightcycles weren't that thick.
>>11574985Really hard to tell from the photo but yeah you’re correct that’s a closer match to the 80s movie. The legacy Flynn bike was a real prop that had to fit a person inside who could properly lean forward and grab the handles :P
>>11575037Crazy we get the old bike back in Ares and unchanged
>>11575044I’m not going to share my opinions about anything ares related I’d just be a party pooper
>>11574387Regal Cinemas Popcorn Buckets: Arcade Container: This container is available at select locations, while supplies last. Although advertised by Regal as exclusive, the same container has been spotted at Marcus Theaters. $39.99>https://www.fantasylandnews.com/2025/09/08/first-look-at-tron-ares-popcorn-bucket-novelties-coming-to-theaters-tickets-now-on-sale/
>>11575044The scary thing about nostalgia and Tron is that since Tron was in 2010 just the existence of this movie is nostalgia bait for zoomers who watched Legacy.
>>11572644Anon, I fucking love your repurposing of parts from Robotix sets (Tyrannix).
>>11574553This.
Tron Legacy>>>Tron>>>Tron Uprising(because it ended on a cliffhanger, sorry, show is great but I can't bring myself to put it above finished stories)>>11575044Hmmm
Both sequels are slop. I realized "Legacy" was going to be slop the moment they announced the official title. Modern slopshit sequels all pull names from the same wordbank, and they're all interchangeable. Instead of "Tron: Legacy" it could've been "Tron: Reckoning" or "Tron: Absolution" or any of the other cookie-cutter buzzwords they use for sequels now. "Ares" is no exception. And, oh look, the antagonist looks like the token contemporary evil Russian dude.Christ, modern slop sequels are all just generic movies with different skins thrown on them at this point.But the biggest farce?>Bruce Boxleitner is not in Tron: AresHoly fucking shit, how did this crap even get greenlit?
>>11575107>Tron Legacy>>>movie was 50% cringetoken black uttering cliche phrases before shouting a cliche "resisttt" in ziggy stardust's bar was when i got up and leftwriting was weak at bestaesthetics had nothing to do with a world of computer programs
The original tron sucks. Atleast legacy has kino visuals and music and double Jeff Bridges at his peakCGI Bridges is a better villain than Dillinger or MCP
>>11575112>Bruce Boxleitner is not in Tron: AresWtf>Yo dawg, we heard you like Tron, so we took Tron out of Tron and gave you Nine Inch Nails instead...>>11575117You need to be 18 to post here.
>>11575112>>11575119TRON is also a debugging command in the BASIC programming language, meaning "TRace ON". However, Steven Lisberger has stated in interviews that he took the name from the word "electronic", and did not know about the BASIC command until later.So you can do TRON without the titular character.
>>11575112>Bruce Boxleitner is not in Tron: AresTo be fair, poor Tron always kind of gets shafted in the movies. He was Flynn's sidekick in the original and a mind controlled henchman in the second. Still a bullshit move though.
>>11575133Tron was never the main character though, never understood the fixation on him. The name is cool.
Sweet, I need yet another figure of Rose Tico figure.
>>11575112>>11575119>muh BruceYet he said please go see Tron Ares in theaters or we never get more Tron...https://www.reddit.com/r/tron/comments/1nn9j53/bruce_boxleitner_please_go_see_tron_in_the/
>>11575139The tron franchise must be sacrificed to deal devastating blows to both disney & Jared Leto
At least Tron stuff looks shiny as opposed to Nu-Wars.
>>11575155Why hate Jared Leto? He is based
>>11575112Giving her the name "Athena" an ancient Greek name is insulting to me, but this is the same Disney that took a shit on the Greeks in the past by depicting Calypso as a Jamaican voodoo bitch. And the lack of Tron himself is very annoying. >>11575155I like Jared Leto, and think he's a good actor. He's the one part of this movie besides Flynn that I'm not worried about.
>>11575155Jared Leto was one of the reasons this got off the ground. Be thankful you get to see another Tron iteration on the big screen.The plot may be dumb but it's got Tron back in the public eye which means more toys in the future for us ! ! !
>>11575212The key thing is it really needs to be a success. The first Tron movie was somehow a flop, which is why it took Disney ages to approve a second one. The second one wasn't a flop, but at least an "under-performer." At this point it's a miracle that they bothered to approve a third one. And if it's DEI woke (which early trailers show it might be with shit like Athena), then it'll be hard for it to be successful.
NOT having any toys for it by now is not a good sign, and tells me that toy-makers have zero faith in the movie being a success so they don't want to risk it.
>>11574411Lmao, they dumped Power Rangers and they think Tron is popular enough for a toyline? The like 9 fans of this franchise must be thrilled.
>>11575221Tron is popular enough for a toy line if it's done right. However that's seldom the case.
>>11575213Ah... yeah it's got put-a-chick-in-it-and-make-her-gay for MODERN AUDIENCESSSssssssToo late to go back for reshoots
>>11575228I 100% guarantee that through the black girl there's going to be a lot of symbolism of the Tron characters being slaves to the humans in the real world, and of course "WHITEMANBAD!"Personally I think that toy-makers are deliberately avoiding this movie.
>>11575282Good. I want this shit to flop from all angles. Bruce knows we want more Tron, but that's just it; this isn't Tron, this is Nu-Tron, and as a fan of the original, I don't want this, and I certainly don't want more of it.Worst case scenario is the movie is a huge hit and suddenly there's the Amazon or Netflix series. Shit like that. I'd rather not get anything more, ever again, than to see a franchise I love get continuously dragged through the mud.And this is what gets me about Bruce: the last Babylon 5 panel I watched a video of him doing, he was low key ranting about how all TV & movies these days have to be "relevant" (woke), and yet here he is, telling everyone to go support this shit.
I wanna see sheboon.exe shelf warm had like Captain Marvel.
>>11575361>had*bad
>>11575361>>11575359I think toy-makers know what shitfest is coming, and are avoiding it. That's why we didn't get the figures two months ago.
>With music by Nine Inch Nails!The credits roll track absolutely needs to be "Hurt."Seriously.>right as the Disney logo scrolls upward into view>"I will LET you down..."
can't wait for the next movie after this one where the black character meets up with the other black programs and they use the digitizer to bring a bunch or bison or something into the game grid so they can ride them as they charge the command ship- oh wait.
>>11575387Can't wait for Tron to show up, take a big sigh, and say "somehow.......Sark has returned."
>>11575389Actually the only thing that would get me to endure this woke pile of burning dogshit would be if they paid to use David Warner's voice and face so they could digitally put Sark into the very end of the movie, like he had been hiding in some protected memory somewhere, and he kills all the new antagonists and then returns to the digital world to reestablish his control.But we can't have nice things.
>>11575461They already own his likeness rights, so it wouldn't take much for them to revoice him on a deepfake actor.
With how badly disney's fumbled this, and all their other franchises, people should just start ripping them off and making spiritual successors.
>>11575486When AI becomes powerful enough for people at home to make their own full-length movies (we're actually close), I suspect that Tron will get a fuckload of fanfic movies.
>>11575488I'll believe it when I see it. It would be cool in anycase.
>>11575506This person made a short-length film using nothing but AI:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H64aKkh75gwSo the tech's advancing pretty quickly.
>>11572644>>11572650Weren't these exclusive to the parks?I decided to simply by the old NECA reissues. I'm only missing the red bike.
>>11575560The NECA reissues are awesome. I wish they'd re-release them again while throwing in the characters that never got made as well as some Legacy stuff in that style. Ares too, but my gut is telling me that companies are avoiding it.
>>11575138Hot
>>11575138>Rose TicoShe really does reek of being another case of "deliberately-ugly Asian so men don't get attracted to her because it's better to have audiences pissed off at the deliberate ugliness instead of attracted to movie stars" types, isn't she? Yeah we're in for another wokefest. That's why toy-makers are avoiding this shit.
Sam is in the movie btwAres is looking for him and Quorra and finds out they have a son named tron. Quorra is dead. Apparently programs can only stay in the real world for so long. All those articles saying they weren’t in the movie was a read herring that rage bait YouTubers ran with.
>>11576175>Apparently programs can only stay in the real world for so long.So he let her die instead of going back to Flynn's arcade?
>>11575580Would love to have Ram and Yori in that style and the orange light cycle but I know it'll never happen
>>11576156I do not like Rose Tico but I find her cute, I like to jack off to asian women
>>11576748The actress who played her was cute, but the POS "director deliberately wanted to uglify her to "subvert expectations."
>>11576777He wanted her to look like the girl he had a crush on in high school.
>>11576175Do they explain why he’s no longer the CEO of Encom? I figured the movie would end with Jeff Bridges giving Ares a “Tron” programming upgrade or something.
>>11572224Gonna watch double feature
>>11577014This is the same Disney that fucked up and crapped all over POTC consistency with ret-conning how Jack got the Black Pearl and compass. So don't be surprised if there's an inconsistency or two.
>>11577014In Legacy, Sam wasn't the CEO, Alan probably was. Sam was just the largest shareholder.
>>11577464This
>>11574883I had the female Tron 2.0 figure i bought at a flea market almost 20 years ago or something.
>>11574431this toy pisses me off so much because the arcade game was one of my favorites and for this toy they were too lazy to put the awesome joystick that was unique to that arcade case
i just want an Uprising Paige and Tessler with the big hands figures
>>11574431Too smol
Where are the toys???
>>11578287The fact that nothing's out tells me that toy-makers are expecting a flop, and don't want to get burned.
>>11578373No toys
>>11579872No shit. It opens tomorrow and there's nothing. Toy-makers don't throw away opportunities like this unless they've seen the project at hand and are 100% sure that it's gonna flop.
Ares looks like it's going to be awful. It can't even ride on good visuals and music like Legacy did because it takes place mostly in the boring real world and the soundtrack is Nine Inch Nails-on-a-chalkboard.
>>11581217It looks decent to me. I really want it to be good because I am a fan of the first two movies. I am still hoping for a "sleeper hit" that surprises audiences, but I admit that my hopes are fading with the realization that there's a reason why toy-makers avoided this property.
>>11578287
>>11581377
>>11581377Fuck yeah>>11581381This is so retarded
>>11576175>people actually believing thisThis is stupid and fake for a multitude of reasons, namely you forgetting or not knowing from the trailers/teasers that the time limit for Ares to exist in reality is 30 minutes, but also:1. Quorra is an Iso, not a program2. They left the Grid using Flynn's disk which he said in the movie is possible for a program to leave without (hence Clu using it in the ship)3. The mere idea of Quorra not only being impregnated by Sam but giving birth to a son in thirty fucking minutes after they take a motorcycle joyride through a whole city and forest and after Sam backs up 1987 technology onto a microSD card and then naming their son Tron who Sam barely has any familiarity with other than fighting Rinzler and being shown an action figure of him one time is hilariously stupid. That's like if he named his son RAM or had a daughter named Yori. 4. also more importantly Garret Heidelhund and Olivia Wild aren't even cast for the movie and repeatedly deny it in any interview they're in. Ditto for Bruce Boxleitner whatever that's worth.5. The Disney Magic Kingdom rides for Tron Lightcycle Run have a story which states that Sam and Quorra together are making portals for users to enter into the Grid with to learn to cooperate and live amongst programs. Dubiously canon but worth mentioning as the only official statement regarding what they're up to after Legacy
>>11581217I don't understand how they figured Nine Inch Nails was a fit, and I like them. Industrial and electronic are so far apart In aesthetics and sound.
I really regret not picking up any of the Legacy toys back in the day. Maybe not so much the talking figures with the light up face thing going on but at least the diecast vehicles would have been cool to have. Now everything goes for absolute rape prices because it's "vintage."
>>11574387does anyone else find this popcorn bucket trend retarded
>>11581451I'm not a fan of it, but I understand why it's a thing. Between the Covid scare and the rise of streaming services, physical movie theaters are struggling and on the decline; this is a ploy to get people to show up.
I had this one and some of the Legacy action figures (Clu and Rinzler I think) back in the day.
Haven't found my originals yet, but I found the Legacy merch the other day. 4 Flynn bikes, 1 aircraft, 1 car, the mini flyers, and Flynn/Clu Neo bikes
>>11581499Or it's to nickel-and-dime the shit out of people where a family of 4 can't go to see a movie without dropping $100+ for 2 hours of entertainment.
>>11581440Ok.
>>11581541>Bavarian log of shit
>still no reveals
>>11581663Here
>>11581671
>>11581671>>11581675I don't get what anyone but a cosplayer could do with it.
This is what I am hoping for. I know that it isn't what we will get.
>>11581682Disc fight
>>11581682The one you can get from Disneyworld is a (kind of shit) Bluetooth speaker.
>>11581686Mmm...Grape, Blue Raspberry, and Cherry flavored...
>>11581675I thought this was a washing machine from the thumbnail.
>>11576785
>>11582307
Hot toys
>>11582309
>>11582308>no woman
>>11582464She's there. She's Black while Disney once again shits on the Greeks by giving her a Greek name (Athena).
>>11582307That’s so gay
>>11582307If they weren’t going to have a bitch hang on him then they should’ve leaned harder into it being set in the real world. Have him standing on a city street under the searchlight of an out of frame helicopter
>>11582490It's because "the bitch" in Ares is black and marketers know that historically showing black people in promotional material immediately turns audiences off, especially in non-Western countries (i.e. China).
>>11572224>Troon
>>11582499Yep. The third one's what /tv/ would jokingly call "the Chinese poster."
>>11582499The Asian is the female of the film. The black is an antagonist.
>>11582539>The black is an antagonist.I doubt that's true when considering every movie has to carry the "team diversity versus evil White people" story. It's pretty much a requirement in Hollywood. She may be "villain red" but she's not really a villain. And why are they trying to make Flynn look like techno-Gandalf? At any rate we've only seen one figure, and it's not Hasbro even though Hasbro said it has the toy license. The mvoies starts on the 10th which is in the middle of NYCC. If there's any other figures that'll get released, then I guess that's when we'll find out.
>>11582503>original movie's score was done by a grannytrannythis shit really writes itself sometimes
>>11582503Lol
You lot don't remember that legacy was a flopped toyline almost in the level of Green Lantern, do you?
>>11583578Higher aftermarket value compared to those 5poas mattel made.
>>11583587Tomy made the classic 5POAs and NECA reissued them. And they're actually worth a lot now.
>>11583588The secondhand market asking prices for the neca reissues are fucking stupid.I was able to get the figures for like $20 each by just bidding on them. I think collector stores sell them for about that much too so I don't know where the fuck flipbayers are getting these prices.
>Movie is 1 week away from release> Hasbro still hasn't revealed their toys or put a single toy out on shelves.
>>11583946Blokees should have been given the license.
>>11583955This
I remember when I was excited Hasbro got Power Rangers. That didnt turn out so good so despite loving Tron I'm not looking forward to this at all.>>11583946Yeah this is weird.
>>11582548>And why are they trying to make Flynn look like techno-Gandalf?Why are you implying techies Gandalf wouldnt be the coolest fucking shit
>movie out THIS Friday>still no toyline revealWtf
>>11586928Three days, and nothing. The avoidance tells me the movie will suck, and that breaks my heart as a fan of the series.
>>11586938it's modern disney, of course it's gonna suck
>>11586938Well, reactions are better than tron legacy right now, we wait for reviews which should drop in like 6-7 hours
>>11586986I had the revisionist bullshit going on where everyone is suddenly saying legacy sucked. Legacy was the fucking tits. The Tron series is a spectacle series with a paper thin story. That’s it. All these reviews a high off of their own pretentious farts.
>>11587025I agree that Legacy was good BUT that's the minority view. Legacy wasn't a flop, but at least was an "under-performer" where it wasn't exactly a big sucess. And most people just didn't like it.
>>11587025>>11587035I skipped Legacy when it was released, but then I finally watched it almost a decade after it came out and thought it was great. Not perfect, but not even close to being as bad as most of the legacy sequels of the 2010s like Alien Covenant, The Predator, and Disney Wars. The soundtrack alone made it worth the watch.
>63% rt scoreHuh
>>11587213Based brain dead npc
>>11587194At least Flynn in Legacy had the same kind of character arc that Luke did in The Last Jedi, but BETTER.
>>11587025>>11587035I want to live in the universe where Speed Racer 2008 and Tron Legacy were the biggest movies of the 21st century. It'd sure beat diminishing capeshit returns we saw in the mid 2010's into the modern day.
>>11586938>>11586983Ares was always going to be a fart in the wind by virtue of cutting ties from Legacy and morbin' things up with a shittier lamer cast and plot.
>>11587025Legacy did suck though. Everyone hated it when it came out and it deviated from the style of the original way too much. It's revisionist history that people liked it. I remember everyone including myself shitting on it. Everyone was mad that it wasn't like Tron 2.0.
>>11587326I’d hold your hand anon
>>11572268Man, those are so fucking cool. What a vibe.
>>11587025I agree, I loved it when it came out and love it now.
>>11582308middle one is the best and hottest.
>>11574883Good game. Feels like you're in the world of Tron.
