The Hasbro Tron toy line will be revealed this week at NYCC.Old:>>11572224Tron: Ares is out now in theaters.Trailer:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vo1EFYP9MTI
DOA lol
>>11589044Oh nononono
>>11589040> Tron: Ares is out now in theaters.Don’t realize it came out. Is it doing ok or pretty terrible?
>>11589057Tomorrow is the official release day, right now its previews, reviews are ok, so and so, like Legacy.
>>11589044>>11589047The reviews I read said it's big on eye-candy visuals, but the story sucked. They confirmed that it's a soft-reboot where the writers did like the last POTC movie and said "FUCK CONTINUITY AND CANON! WE'RE GONNA DO THINGS OUR OWN WAY!"So yeah it comes down to shit writing for a shit story. It breaks my heart. I was really hoping that it was going to be good. At least we have a clear answer for why toy-makers avoided the merch. They knew it was gonna suck.
>>11589067Sam and Quorra show up ina picture, Quorra is bald (can't blame them, Wilde aged like shit).
>>11589067>big on eye-candy visuals, but the story suckedSo it's like the other movies.
>>11589040ITS HAPPENING
>>11589114>3.75 retro cards
>>11589114WHEN
I just want a Rinzler and a Black Guard toy.
>>11589239Hasbro does its "action brands" panel tomorrow, so probably then.
>>11589267I WANT IT NOW
>>11589267Happening now
ALL IN ALL INITS FUCKING HAPPENING
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
>>11589114
>>11589361
>>11589361Do they really think Tron of all things has enough of a fanbase to fund a HasLab? Why is Disney pushing Tron so hard right now lmao?
>>11589365
WHERE ARE LEGACY FIGURES????
>>11589365I'm glad that we finally get Yori, but they would look better in clear plastic with flourescent day-glow paint.
>>11589368Because of Leto, he produced the movie, he is a tron super fan
>>11589375Goddamn he is so fucking annoying.
>>11589368I think they don’t know if there is enough demand for a retail line and this is a good way to test the waters
>>11589376Be madder at the script-writers for coming up with a shitty script.
>>11589374Nah this is best. I don’t want it to fucking crumble in my hand
>>11589361$260Welp it’s over before it started
>THEY STILL HAVE NO RENDERS OF LEGACY FIGURES
>>11589385LOL, LMAO EVEN!Who the FUCK do they think they're kidding with this?
>>11589385For real? Selling them as one big lot won't help them find out if the market is there for them.
>>11589390They have prototypes in the display
>they are still working on designing the legacy figures>there won't be ares toysLmaoWtf was all of this?
I think the original Tron designs are kinda bad. Nobody asked but I just wanted to say it because I've never heard anyone else say it.
>>11589395>Wtf was all of this?Them knowing that Ares was gonna suck?
I like the tron designs and I am a zoomer
>>11589361>>11589365>>11589385Retail at $20 a figure and pack the bitch with a light cycle. Instead they pull this like they didn’t want this to work.
>>11589404Yeah this is overpriced by at least $100. $160 while expensive would’ve been an easy purchase. Why wasn’t this made to order instead if they didn’t have faith in it?
What a shitshow
>>11589407Scalpers are gonna make a killing off of selling the figures individually like with the Rattler where if you sold off the figures, you got the Rattler for free.
>>11589421This shit ain’t funding cuh
Will legacy figures be mass release?
>>11589425I think it will due mainly to scalpers buying the maximum order limit. There probably won't be unlocks, but if there are then it's not hard to imagine a "warrior" as well as a blue RAM (why is he red?)
>>11589438Don't know. Legacy figures have still yet to be shown.
>>11589385>$260 for 3.75" figuresYep. It's doomed. It would have been possible in the 6" size, but not the smaller one.
I would’ve bought these $20 each and the light cycles $30. This should’ve been made to order. I am so disappointed because they look great but hasbro can suck my cock.
:(
>>11589493Sark and Yori are the two I want, but not at that price.
cope, seethe, and dilate 6inggersthis thing will do numbers
>>11589460>OG Tron figures 3.75">Legacy figures 6"How retarded. Pick a damn scale!
Fun fact, Sark shows up in Tron Ares
We’re so back
>>11589528HOLY SHITTHE GOATTHE KINGMY BOYMY BEAUTIFUL BOYFUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES
>>11589460For that price this should come with so much more. Ram is sorely missing. No guards? No alternate 90 degree light trails? No pixelated explosion effect part to put next to aforementioned 90 degree light trail? I can't see them offering any more of these figures in this scale if all the main characters are a Haslab, so this needed to be more expansive.
Yeah this 3.75 figures definitely aren’t funding now. Might as well blown them up to 6 inches
>>11589525>>11589528>>11589532>>11589535>>11589535Flourescent day-glow paint does exist. Why do toy-makers avoid using it? >>11589536RAM is the second guy in red. And typically Haslabs have unlocks, so who knows?
>>11589528KEVIN FLYNNWHERE ARE YOU NOW???
I would buy lego sets of tron
>>11589528Please tell me these are wide retail release
>>11589553>RAM is the second guy in red.No he isn't, that's a random program from the team of three that Tron, Flynn, and Ram competed against.
>>11589361>>11589365>>11589369$300+
>>11589460>>11589487>I am so disappointed because they look great but hasbro can suck my cock.Same. Looks like they are forcing that light up display stand as part of the $260 price, and I didn't see a single stretch goal. $260 is WAY too much, and fuck your fucking display stand. They could have brought in the rest for under $200. I love 3.75, these would have been fun to mix in with my Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but I simply refuse to pay $260 for this. Not to mention they need 10k orders to get there. This is just insane.Drop the price and we'll talk.I don't care if you ditch that unnecessary and overpriced light up stand.No, Hasbro. Simply no.
>>11589570This is the correct answer, and its specifically what the team said in the live stream. Plus they showed the back of the Program figure.Shame this is going to fail.
Sark Julian Dillinger when? If you saw the tron ares post credits
>all this wait for this wet fartI hate Hasbro
Did they say anything about tron ares toys?
>>11589591Not happening.
>>11589600>we will never have tron ares sarkWhy live
>>11589525>>11589528>>11589532>>11589535Where the fuck is my waifu?
>>11589575>>11589570looks like red RAM to me.
>>11589604I attended the Legacy and Ares double feature last night. The absence of the Legacy cast from Ares weighs down the entire movie. You know a movie is bad when Jared Leto plays the best character.
>>11589604I want GEM and Zoos in milky-white plastic with flourescent day-glow paint.
>>11589613Yes I know, you're retarded.
>HasLab figures don't glow in the darkLMAO, Hasbro, are you even trying.
Looks like they're Pulse exclusive.
>>11589645>Pulse exclusive.Oh then go fuck yourself you're not getting any of my money.
>>11589604Figure not done yet
Well. Hasbro's not fucking around with getting it out there.
>>11589525Hell yeah Ri->>11589645Oh come on!
>$360 + TAX + SHIPPING + TIP
>>11589670https://www.hasbropulse.com/product/G35465L00Their own website says $259. Whoever posted that put his thumb on the scale to scare potential backers.
>>11589645I’m still getting Sam and Clu
>>11589613>Point out where the LIVE STREAM specifically said he's "Program">They went in to detail about him>They showed his CARD ART with the name PROGRAM>DURRRRRR looks like red RAM to me.Just....fucking just......Good Lord
>>11589733Red Ram
*sigh*Much like needing to bring out the silver paint for battle armor Cobra Commander, it looks ike there's some work I have to do myself to make the figures right.
>>11589653>179 Backers!We're gonna make it lads!!!!!!!kek, no.
>>11589733I didn't watch the livestream, and the figure still has similarities to RAM.
I appreciate Rinzler having an unmasked Tron head. I guess I can buy a second and paint the orange lights white to make it a proper Tron. Though it would be the cheapest and easiest variant in the world for Hasbro to just offer a white light Tron version.
>no black guard army builderAmateur hour over at Hasbro as per usual.
>>11589755>no fucking ZuseMichael Sheen instantly improves every movie he's in.
>>11589759I agree with you, though as much as I'd want him I wouldn't ever expect him to be a wave 1 character. Black Guards really should be.
>>11589771We aren’t getting waves if theses are pulse exclusive
Not loving the expression they chose for Clu. Also if you know anything about Hasbro you'll know these figures are going to be a QC nightmare, and only being able to purchase them sight unseen on Pulse will yield a lot of of unhappy customers when their figures arrive with the lines painted horribly off their marks.
>>11589773It's still a wave of figures regardless of how it's released.
>>11589780They used the digital file from the movie
It seems these figures are nowhere close to being released if they still need licensor approval. Which begs the question, why? The time to strike is now as a new film is in theaters and interest in Tron is higher than usual. How many potential consumers will stop caring 6 months from now? I imagine a fair amount.
>>11589789And? I don't like the expression. He's too happy. I know the moment they took this expression from, but I think it was a poor choice. A more stern expression would better represent Clu.
>>11589799And you’re a whiny bitch.
If they wanted to go for realism then they should have found a way to brighten the color trim whether it be glow-in-the-dark, blacklight, or flourescent paint. I can already see what I have to do with getting the blackest flat-black paint I can get then using a really bright paint for the details.
>>11589802
>they disabled video commentsKWAB
I would rather have Uprising figures, Beck, Paige, Tron, Clu, Tessler, Tessler with big hands, Quorra etcsomehow these figures are more boring than i could have imagined, also rereleasing 3.45 just seems like a cash grab, no thanks don't forget there are Kubrick figures our there which are cute and even have the MCP
>>11589839>also rereleasing 3.45 just seems like a cash grab, no thanksBased dumbass
For me its Tron 2.0
>>11589920Not my pics but I do own Jet and Mercury. Need to find the others at some point
>>11589920i love the game, never really liked that Jet became all muscular in the grid. been wanting that guard forever though, i have Mercury but have grown to dislike the figure over time.
Anyone here legitimately backing the HasLab?I just don't see this one funding. $200 or less would have been the sweet spot for me (seriously, get out of here with this forced display bullshit!). It's a nice display, but their "take it or else nothing" approach is such a massive turn off. I can literally make my own, and it's just so fucking unnecessary. It would have been okay as an additional option for those who wanted itBut NO stretch goals. NONE. This whole thing is such a head scratcher. Those figures are incredible. But the price is just absurd.
>>11589950$180 would’ve been my max
they should have included Jai alai arms for the 82' set
>>11589950If they would’ve added a master control, lab laser, real world Flynn, a duel disc arena and derez effects I would’ve shelled out $260
>>11589950The price is absolutely ridiculous but if by some miracle it actually funds I'll probably throw in for one. I won't back prior to that though. I don't want to play any part in helping this meet it's goal because this deserves to fail. It did not need to be a Haslab. An appropriate Haslab would be a giant Recognizer or MCP or something to augment these figures and cycles sold separately as Pulse exclusives if no retailer wanted them.
>>11589971And one of these fuckers to act as a caring case for the figures and their accessories
>>11589950Scalpers have never taken a loss on scalping Haslabs as far as I know, and there is no "five per person" limit on this one. Within that, I think there's a possibility that it'll fund.
>>11589971Doing this as a Haslab and not including the MCP is crazy.
>>11589780I never got into Hasbro outside of Transformers until Power Rangers Lightning Collection and so as a huge Tron fan I am fucking out. I'm not going through that again. Maybe if they ever show up outside of Pulse. Not even a Quorra.
>>11589978>pathetic
>>11589979Nta but I’m unfortunately a mark when it comes to Tron legacy. Waiting to here about pricing but I’m most likely going to get Sam and Clu as long as the price isn’t obscene.
>>11589976We got a small recognizer from Legacy, but that's it.
>>11589986
>>11589980would still love a 82 solar sailer toy, and for Legacy would be great to have those fighter jets for the figs to go in had they been smaller
>>11590008>>11590010>the legs are half as long as the armsPeople liked those?
>>11589971Ooohhhh nice ideas. Yeah, it needed WAY more figures for the price. But that "Program" figure could have easily gotten a "derezzed" version thrown in!
Why 1982 and legacy same scale if both ar pulse anyway?
>>11589975>if by some miracle it actually funds I'll probably throw in for one.I simply won't>this deserves to fail. Yes, it does. I'm done fueling their greed, and I don't want to see this shit leak over into other properties. They simply need to give us value for our money. That's it. They charge the "fan" tax and get away with it on GI Joe and other items. I'm taking a stand, man.
Cmon guys, these will probably be the best Tron toys we will ever get, we shouldn't sacrifice them for some moral highground. I will cave in.
>>11589977>Scalpers have never taken a loss on scalping Haslabs as far as I know>as far as I know>as far as I knowGet around social media more often. That Mandalorian spaceship for starters, people tied up funds and couldn't offload at cost. They thought they had the next Sail Barge. kek.
>>11590023Good luck! Enjoy! I still have my DST 7", my TOMY, my Super7 ReAction sets, etc. I can also 3d print my own. These look great but I'm not starved for content.
kek!!!!Toyark says there's a $35 surcharge on top of the $259.99 if you're not a Premium Pulse member!!! HAHAHAHAFuck, I'm already pissed that they're withholding the con exclusives almost an entire MONTH for non-members. Its almost as if they want to drive all of their business away!>bbb but Pulse give perks!Not fucking interested. Holy shit I'm still waiting for figures that Amazon and BBTS already got in ages ago. FUCK Hasbro Pulse!
>>11590024It's at 500 backers now, which is 5%. If they can break 1,000 by around noon tomorrow then that's 10% of the way there in one day. So it's still possible.
>>11590050>Autism alert!You can't mathematically predict human emotions stupid. God I hate your types of COPE posts. See you in 46 days.
>>11590050Honestly if this funds then I just won’t buy hasbro products anymore. Maximum is one thing but this is just insane and will only get worse.
Disney is fucking drunk. There isn't 10K bazinga nerds out there goona pay that.
>>11590050Haslabs have a large flux at the start and end of campaigns. It needs to do better than 10%.
>>11590049Do you really need to mald about this in two threads? You're pathetic.
>>11590050They just make up all this shit at the end anyway.
>>11590071Various Haslabs have failed. I forget which one, but there was one that was very close. This isn't a big ruse, if they don't get the minimum backers they ain't making it.
>>11589976>>11589986There were two Recognizers. The Diecast (with a variant which was much more red than orange) and a Recognizer carrying case for Diecast Legacy vehicles
>>11590096The ones they arbitrarily decided not to go ahead with.
>>11590102Yeah, I'm sure Disney was keen to arbitrarily allow some of their campaigns to fail.
>>11589982>long as the price isn’t obscene.The problem for me is I'm not american. So currency conversion plus bad shipping fees to get it from Pulse. Shipping is even worse here because our postal service goes on strike a lot and other shit is even more expensive to ship.
>>11590096they haven't allowed any to fail in years now
>>11589525>>11589528>>11589532>>11589535Are the 3.75 or 6?
>>11590065There probably are. We'll see. I think it CAN and most will fail, but I also know that there are enough Tron fans and scalpers who would love to have it at least as an investment toy.
>>11590065People said the same thing about the Cantina. And the Gunship.
Why is modern Hasbro so incompetent? They can’t even release toys that come out around the same time as the source material anymore.
>>11590188Those are 6
>>11590271i remember during the Patrick era they blamed it on ST 'mystery box' bullshit, but even that didn't make sense because there was a robust offering of products for Force Friday prior to TFA coming out
>>11590274Oh, cheers
Tron, TRON? Still trying to make it a thing eh?
>>11590271>Hasbro is currently suggesting that they're going to start making 3.75 inch figures again... but they'll Haslab exclusives that you have to buy an entire wave of ahead of time at exorbitant prices.Grim.
>>115903383.75 is such a shit scale 4.5 is the sweet spot
>>11590358she's lying
>>11590361My grandma would never lie to me
>>11590374it would have been funnier if you said *my* grandma
>>11590390I’ve never met your grandma
>>11590338375 is 187
>>11590271because Americans can't do anything and need factories half way round the world to do everything. boomers sold out your future just so they could get an easy retirement. China has tons of great 1/18 offerings anyway who needs the same boring Tron trash.
>>11590412I don't like Chinese slop IPs.
>>11589368Because they destroyed their Star Wars and Marvel franchises and are desperate for a brand that will win over young boys again.
>>11590338I’m speechless. >>11590412I’ve been considering it. Not very happy about the prices of companies like JoyToy but with Hasbro keeps creeping up to their price range. I just want to go back to the days of actually finding stuff on shelved and getting stuff for less than or equal to ten bucks. World of Halo was pretty close.
>>11589647I just like Tron Legacy so I don't know what this pulse thing is. Are you telling me I won't be able to go to a store and buy my boy Rinzler off a peg?
The Disney Parks Flynn Identity Disc is up on Disney Store site for anyone who wants it. If it isn't loading, search Tron on the mobile app.
>front wheel does not moveIs this another humiliation ritual?
>>11590338I don't mind the scale at all. Quite the opposite I enjoy it. It's the price that fucks everything.
>>11590197People "say" the same shit because they are retarded NPCs. Star Wars has been on the shelves now for 30 years continuously for the modern era. People have collections of Cantina Aliens and clones and shit so its natural to add to it with those. This Tron set looks like a complete "one and done", its its own thing, doesn't mesh with anything else Tron related, and even worse it heavily implies there won't be anything else later like Ram or a Red cycle. It IS the collection, it is not a hole in a collection you've been working on.I can absolutely see this stalling out. I would have been all over this at retail, and "Program" is kind of an army builder and I'd have wanted a few.This is a completely new beast, where its a blip on the radar that if you miss it, there's not stuff before or after it to notice its absence. Its so completely tone deaf I'm really shocked at Hasbro.Kind of like Mondo's "collection in a box" concept
>>11590338Sad. This is where I wanted things to be back in the heydey of when they were doing both Star Wars and Indiana Jones for around $7 per figure with SA.Part of "world building" is army building, which is impossible with HasLabs. And the prices just aren't feasible.Too little, too late.
>>11590871That's also why it could be long-term valuable. Not many will have it. Collectors with the means love having shit no one else has. The original line only has 4 figures and 2 lightcycles in it yet is expensive as shit now. That's why I think it has a chance. Right now I'm at feeling like it has a 50% chance of succeeding.
