>>11592522Bringing this back because it made me laugh
>>11592541
>>11592521i wish he was smaller, but he does look good
>>11592547I actually agree. The size is cool but it feels more like a novelty than anything. I will admit it looks good, a definite improvement to the Retro carded one. Too bad I can't fit it on my X-villains shelf, he's too tall for it. Also, $120 is pretty steep imo. I guess he comes with a lot of stuff, and it's a lot of plastic but it still feels too expensive imo.
>>11592506Anthony was shilling this figure. He has almost totally reversed course and it's sad. He almost gave a $40 ML a 7/10. I miss negative Anthony when he was getting any sleep and hated action figures.
>>11592570no one cares about your boyfriend anthony
>>11592576I really don't understand mezco's character selection sometimes... I know they're making a Hulk but he just seems destined for clearance unless its a convention exclusive.
>>11592579If it comes with a 90s head I'll bite though
Can someone explain why the Sentinels needed to have pins?
>>11592579Yeah, it's definitely to go with their Hulk, but I really don't see too many people paying Mezco prices for the fucking Leader.>>11592588Maybe some stability issues they encountered during the assembly process? Maybe it's difficult to pinless at that size? It being a robot makes it an easier pill to swallow but yeah, it is kind of shitty.
>>11592588Why does it matter?
Is pin complaining a newfag thing or is not caring about pins an oldfag thing?
>>11592598both can be true.
>>11592598The real question is why Hasbro keep photoshoping them out of the pictures
>>11592606They're not Photoshopping them out persay, It's because they're using renders for their solicitation images. That shit needs to fucking stop, see the Rachel Summers fiasco with the render showing an extra pair of hands, and the figure being advertised with them despite them not being present during the stream when they showed off samples. I don't mind them using renders to announce figures but when they solicit them for sale, they really need to be using actual photographs, same for figures that use renders on the box. They really need to be photos too.
>>11592576Is that Mike from RLM taking the picture?
>>11592611lol, I thought the same thing
>>11592611Yeah, every year he checks to see if he has a Marvel Legend coming out, since Jay got his a long long time ago in that one Captain America toy
>>11592588I don't think they are pins, I think they're screw holes. They should have covers at this price though.
>>11592594It breaks up the figure's sleek animation-looking style
>>11592624It really does nothing of the sort.
>>11592630Yeah that thing won't fit on my self. Shame since it looks good.
>>11592632Your shelf can't fit a foot tall figure? Huh?
>>11592630I wonder if the MTO Apocalypse will have pins too
>>11592630New one is so much better, I suppose it should be for the price but the old one just looked like a comic one someone repainted in the cartoon colors.
>>11592630Nice Titan series Fisher Price. Personally I'd rather have a detailed figure.
>>11592649Enjoy your wrinkly grandpa cosplaying as steampunk Apocalypse, I'll be too busy enjoying an accurate Apocalypse instead then.
>>11592630>>11592632>>11592644New one looks great but now I wish I got either the comic BAF or the Retrocard since I don't really need a fuckhueg Apocalypse in my collection and prefer him a little smaller.
>>11592636Not my villain shelf, no. I can fit a 10in figure in there ok, but anything bigger than that is too tall. >>11592652Yeah the retro carded one is like 7 or 8in and works pretty well. The new one is definitely better looking but the retro is no slouch either.
Found Outback Storm today and took advantage of that $10 off $40 offer Target had to grab her and a TF. Wasn't even really looking for her but I thought about it and realized I actually had the rest of the Outback team already. Got some of the others on discount for parts, though I did get the Mojo set for Mojo since it was only a couple of dollars more than his single release at one point and is the superior paint job. Now I want an Outback Betsy.
>>11592684Man, they screwed that Rogue up so much.
>>11592684You need to bend the torsos more.
>>11592709You need to post toys more.
>>11592506>Already a new Marvel General>OP has a tantrum because HE didn't start itWhat a fucking baby
>>11592677hasbro new innovation, the octa peg
>>11592630Ah, Apocalypse is a big part of Season 2, according to the leaked trailer...makes sense now.
>>11592547Here you go.
>>11592547Get the Diamond Select version.
>>11592728>Apocalypse is a big part of Season 2, according to the leaked trailerOr, you know, the last scene of the first season...
I just realized according to the leaks they're going to be wearing Morrison's New X-Men costumes, and that means I'll finally get figures from one of my favorite eras. Too bad they won't emulate Frank Quietly, his art translates nicely to 3D imo.
>>11592733yeah no, this one doesn't look nearly as good
>>11592736That thing is absolutely hideous though
>>11592748It's not THAT bad. Comes with some neat arm pieces. Anyway, I think it's your only other option for a tall one.
>>11592748So put the Legends head on it.
>>11592739That doesn't mean anything
>>11592752It's pretty bad. Maybe not an outright abomination, but still not great.>>11592755That isn't going to save the goofy proportions.
>>11592708Same with Storm. Her suit should be as dark as Havoc and Longshot, while have side shaved 80s hair.
>>11592760What the fuck do you think it meant, you obtuse dingleberry?
>>11592709He cannot take criticism, hope you like shitting huddled over figures. It's been years of this. He's also the spaz who gets mad when others make the thread.
>>11592576mezco's first hulks rogue gallery figure being the leader instead of abomination is strange imo
>>11592796Lmao, did I also fuck your mom and steal your crush too? I'm in your waaaaallssss lol.
>>11592796Also, you guys never seem to complain about my poses when I post from somewhere other than my diorama. Why is that?
Yesssss! We need figure of these.
>>11592576I kinda love this but it is a little hard to justify a higher price for a character who's not very toyetic. I might try to find some kinda control panel diorama piece to make him fit into my villain display>>11592579They just did the Red Hood people have been asking for years now and made it an exclusive. Watch the Leader be a mass release
>>11592939No we don't.
Am I the only one who really doesn't like the headsculpt they've been using ever since the 20th Ann. Captain America?He looks very weirdly menacing. Like a serial killer wearing his cowl. Maybe his eyes are too far apart?It's just a shame bc I think the body sculpts for all of them have looked pretty good.
>>11592957You don't need to buy them.
>>11592708Is it worth 10 bucks or not even that?
>>11592959AGREED. Caps masked head sculpts do not look like they belong on the body of a Stoic, noble hero. They're both creepy looking.
>>11592920Because they don't know it's you without the background.
>>11592536BB would look better on the hercules body.
>Have the old TB BAF Pocky>Only complaint is that it's HUEG>Hasbro announce new 90's Pocky>It's also HUEGThanks.
Less than 2 days after the figures are revealed.
>>11593008Also have that and he was unfun. Maybe this one will be better 2 inches shorter and not a lank fest? Probably not but he looks amazing. Big guys are way too hard to play with in any case. Even the old Toybiz Pitt was shit to move around and too bulky.
>>11593053We know they do this. It's because of the rush of people buying them when they first go up for pre order. Just wait for clearance, these are absolutely going to bomb price wise except for maybe Enchantress. Or better yet, buy from somewhere else. Hasbro Pulse has them for MSRP. You don't need to post this every thread.
>>11593060I only want Enchantress and Skurge for this wave. So I guess I only want Enchantress for now until the rest tank hopefully. And she's either going to get impossible to get or tank as well but I played it safe by po'ing her.
This wave is pretty much doomed. Higher price for less desirable and notable figures. This was not the best wave to put out so early in these new prices cycle.
>>11593126They may not have had the option as the teriff and price shit has been pretty all over the place, plus the release window for these waves are decided months, if not a year om advance. Definitely going to be a hard sell with less desired characters and higher prices. I only really want WWII Logan and Enchantress, still debating keeping my orders for Werewolf and Iron Man.
>>11592594No, it doesn't. If anything, pins on a robot actually make sense.
>>11593156I only preordered Enchantress. I think she is the only one that has a chance at being that hard to get later (besides the BAF). If they overproduced these, I think the wave could get sales. Although there is the fact it's fan channel+Amazon only. But the looks are SO niche. It's hard to imagine a large volume of people paying $28 for many of these.
>>11592965I guess I would get it for $10, yeh. Even just for the head sculpt I guess.
I also just preordered Enchantress. I'm hopeful Maximum Thor is in the works, and maybe one day they will make a Mangog, so I guess what I'm saying is I'm starting a Thor shelf. Loki needs a pinless (and scuptled chainmail) upgrade as well.
>>11592965I got her for $13 and only did it initially to use for part fodder. Ended up working out since I had everyone else except Storm.
>>11593169Well good to know. I found her at Ollie's awhile ago for 10 and decided to get it. I'd say it's worth about that but definitely no more
>>11593188You already bought the thing, why did you ask if it was worth it? :)
>>11593199Autismos with no one to talk to need to discuss something I guess.
anyone have pics of the DDBA Frank Castle.. last I saw that head sculpt was chopped
>>11593241My Born Again figs got delayed because of bad weather. I'm hoping to get them tomorrow, but yes it does seem like the Jon Bernthal has is pretty rough.
>>11593241>>11593249From reviews, the head itself looks great sculpt-wise but seems like the brows were printed weirdly on most copies where he looks like he's frowning/sad when they're supposed to look furrowed/pissed off.
>>11592939nxm is the only thing that can bring me back to legends and i will be displeased if they're cartoon and not comic
>>11593199 Because I want to know if Ollie's ripped me off
>>11592920I do
>>11593304>i will be displeased if they're cartoon and not comicthis is literally what's going to happen
>>11592605>I don't make the DC threadsIf you say so. But it's the same autism there, everytime. It's a damn shame that the catalog is flooded with multiple generals everytime, you guys should make up your minds about it.
>>11592677So this is absolutely a problem on all of them. Mine is already starting to sheer at the hip because I tried moving the leg to see what everyone was talking about. Holy shit, absolutely unacceptable. The neck peg also feels like it has the same issue, that it's just too tight for the socket. What an absolute dogshit figure, I'm kinda pissed I even spent $30 on it. I really don't feel as bad about getting a second one now, but holy shit. Someone should bitch to Hasbro about it. It's a shame, I was looking forward to taking some pics with this guy, now he's regulated to never changing poses out of fear he breaks. As if these MtG sets couldn't get any worse, did anyone else get any of the other ones? How's the QC on them?
>>11593469>DON'T TALK TO ME OR MY SON EVER AGAIN MUTANT
Out of my way Bandai shits
>>11593552Shooters look kinda weird, but alright otherwise. Better come with unmasked head.
>>11593552>>11593553Is this actually Revoltech because if so, I'm in.
>>11593555Nah, bootleg again. Revoltech missed free money so bad neglecting Spider-Man it's unbelievable.
>>11593552Those bootleggers should make Ultimate Parker and more spider-girls on revo gwen buck instead of this.
>>11593567>Those bootleggers should make Ultimate ParkerWhy? It's just Peter but uglier whichever way you meant, and we already have two Revos out of that premise.
>>11592791That could have been anybody.
>>11592959Blame Paul Harding. He's the sculptor behind the figures during this era and imo, he wasn't the best. A lot of folks praise him but I wasn't the biggest fan of a lot of his faces. We've gotten better faces before and since him.
>>11592939Best X-Men era coming through
>>11593502>malding this hardlmao
>>11593552we have the same door. if i didn't know better i'd think you were the girls who lived next door to me.>>11593782it's not just harding. he doesn't do all the headsculpts. all the sculptors match whatever the designer has them do. it's the same across the line across multiple sculptors. same with gi joe>>11593409oh well guess i'll die
>>11593556Speaking of neglect, why hasn't CT/Mess just made a straight-up classic Spider-Man release on the 2.0 body
>>11593502>now he's regulated to>not "relegated to"I can smell the curry on you
>>11593782A lot of his faces look like old men to me. Like there's too much detail in the way the skin wrinkles or something. Plus all the heads are too damn big, but I don't think that's his fault.
>>11593829It's a pretty glaring fuck up considering I'm seeing people all over rip the peg right out of the hip socket. I've bought so many Marvel Legends over the years and the fucking ball joint being too big to let the leg move has never been a problem. A stuck joint is a QC problem, this is a design flaw. Plus I've seen you freak out for much less. >>11593872Curry's disgusting. If my profession has taught me anything, it's to hate Indians.
>>11593943>self hating Indian still malding and pretending to work
>>11593957Is this projection?
You ever have a complete collection? For a while I did, but I lost it all. Rebuilding is going to be a nightmare, honestly.I mostly collect movie stuff, because I like likenesses and life like sculpts, but my true completionism was villains. Lord, I had a gorgeous KO Thanos Figuarts, and a used Ultron, and so many of Thor's family members, Lord it was beautiful. Some of it will be incredibly easy to replace, some I figure is basically lost to me forever. Just have to saddle up and rebuild, I guess.
>>11594006>a gorgeous KO Thanos FiguartsIt's absolutely wild how in just a couple of years /toy/ went from shitting on bootlegs, to praising them. Even praising ones that were shat on years ago when they were knocked off. Boggles the mind how the userbase here has sucken so low. Is it third worlders?
>>11594012>suckenSAAR!
>>11593861I have to imagine they're either saving that for last or waiting Revo to come back and do it.
>>11593502>buys garbage> “t-this is uuu-unacceptable”Boo hoo. Go buy some more hasslop faggot no one cares if you’re upset just consoom.
>>11593502Serious question Anon, when you bought this figure, did you just not look at any pictures of it or anything? Was it just a text listing? How could you look at this atrocious looking action figure and then not only buy one copy, but two? I am being genuine, because I really wish to understand why so many people just buy everything that comes out regardless of what it is. It's not like this is some bait and switch, it was clear how bad this figure was just from the promo shots, the only real difference is that you couldn't tell how badly mis-matched the reds were.
>>11594034Ah yes I made a typo and it autocorrected, you got me! Question though, don't you get tired of being an annoying retard?
>>11594051Fuck off
>>11594060>Serious question Anon, when you bought this figure, did you just not look at any pictures of it or anything? Was it just a text listing?It's a retool of the RYV mold. I've gotten plenty of them in the past without this issue, and it's hardly like I'm the only one experiencing it. >How could you look at this atrocious looking action figure and then not only buy one copy, but two?I only paid for one but they sent me two. I didn't even pay full price, I paid $30. >I am being genuine, because I really wish to understand why so many people just buy everything that comes out regardless of what it is.First of all, I like Spider-Man, so I'd want a figure of him but battle damaged. Not that tough to comprehend. Second, I wasn't planning on buying it initially, I only got it in the first place because I was able to get it on sale.>it was clear how bad this figure was just from the promo shotsHow are you supposed to tell the ball joints in the hips are too large for the sockets on the leg from promo images? Because that's my problem. The figure itself is fine, they just fucked up some of the joint tolerances for some reason. It's almost like you didn't actually read my post.
>>11594063I’m just so sick of you crybaby bitch boys. It’s a hasbro product what do you expect? Did you expect quality>quantity a la Jada? Or intricate figures from LPZZ? Legends is a budgeted line that can overcharge because donkeys like you will buy it. Don’t expect the latest and greatest in terms of plastic quality, articulation, or sculpts, that’s reserved for respectable companies like Storm not hasshit. Companies like Jada and LPZZ are pushing the envelope when it comes to showing what can be done in the toy world. Jada has already standardized their new and improved articulation scheme with 360 butterflies that can stick out and toe joints across the the board (you don’t need to wait for a MAXIMUM to get toe joints with Jada lol). Long hair characters like Blanka and Daphne have much softer plastic hair so you can actually articulate the head, unlike 99% of female legends. Meanwhile you got 2025 legends missing waist articulation and no butterflies (not to mention pins still visible).Legends will always be behind everyone else. So stop complaining you already know what you’re purchasing.
>>11594073Jada isn't quality at all, quit licking their asshole already.
>>11594074If that were true, they wouldn’t have improved their articulation scheme.
>>11594064Thank you anon, all sounds reasonable, happy you lucked out on a freebie second then.
>>11594073>It’s a hasbro product what do you expect?NTA but the bare minimum is that the legs should be able to move without the peg sheering. >Did you expect quality>quantity a la Jada? Or intricate figures from LPZZ?What are you even trying to argue? No one was trying to compare it to a higher quality figure. The complaint is that the joint tolerances are fucked up compared to the rest of the line. >Don’t expect the latest and greatest in terms of plastic quality, articulation, or sculpts, that’s reserved for respectable companies like Storm not hasshit.Once again, no one was complaining about that. What are you even going on about?>Jada has already standardized their new and improved articulation scheme with 360 butterflies that can stick out and toe joints across the the board (you don’t need to wait for a MAXIMUM to get toe joints with Jada lol). Long hair characters like Blanka and Daphne have much softer plastic hair so you can actually articulate the head, unlike 99% of female legends. Meanwhile you got 2025 legends missing waist articulation and no butterflies (not to mention pins still visible).Ok. This doesn't predude Jada from fucking up for whatever reason and coming out with a figure that has shitty joint tolerances. It obviously wasn't meant to be like that, but something fucked up along the way. >Legends will always be behind everyone else. So stop complaining you already know what you’re purchasing.do you even know what the original complaint was about?
>>11594073I just wish these other companies would stop making the same fucking figures as each other. Literally the same fucking renditions of the same characters, enough fucking Street Fighter, Hush and Snydershite etc. it's insufferable. Imagine if literally anyone else tried to do even just a bit of what ML do with niche teams/characters.
>>11594089>imagine if we got wholesome classic characters from comic books no one reads! Meanwhile blokees is making rivals designs something everyone wants
I said it another thread but this board has a goddamn reading comprehension problem. Like it's clear >>11594073 didn't even read the original post with the complaint about the Spider Man because none of what he says has anything to do with said complaint. You guys need to actually slow down and read these posts before you knew jerk reply something that doesn't even make sense. It just makes you look fucking stupid. Now I don't know if it's because the education system is just trash, or if you're all ESLs or what, but holy shit, try a little fucking harder to read these posts before you vomit up some reply.
>>11594090I just mean instead of 15 companies doing Chun Li from sf6 or Bale as Batman, I wish they would do like you said, Blokees realise there are no Rivals figures yet, so they do one. Like LPZZ and Inart are doing literally the same exact characters. We have Jada, Storm in two tiers, 52toys, and then like a dozen random Chinese companies doing 1/12 Street Fighter figures, enough man.
>>11594092transformers third party bootlegs are responsible for this given they make nothing but G1 crap
>>11594092His post was about quality issue. I argued that other companies don’t have this problem because they are quality over quantity.
>>11594095I wasn't contesting that, I just went on my own tangential rant because I agree with you, but as they don't provide an actual alternative to the characters Legends provide, they aren't the answer. Also I don't buy that if LPZZ decided to do like an X-Force line or something, that shit wouldn't sell out immediately, that's what I was lamenting.
>>11594091He's a troll, that's all.
>>11594095My post was about them fucking up something on this particular figure. A very specific thing they fucked up. Then you went on some rant about it not being as good as other companies when all I complained about was the fucked up joints on the hips and neck. Didn't someone else mention the same thing about the neck just last thread?
>>11594096Oh sorry I meant to respond to >>11594091
>>11594073>Jada >toe joints>you don’t need to wait They did this 2.5 years after the release of SF and other figs. And only after Storm Arena mocked them by releasing better Ryu and Ken at the same price. Nobody is mocking Hasbro right now with Marvel and Star Wars. Why should Hasbro try so hard if they simply don't have and won't have any competition?>>11594089>Imagine if literally anyone else tried to do even just a bit of what ML doI think Disney is very comfortable with Hasbro. There's no way they give Marvel licence to another 25$ action figure company. Maybe there's even exclusive partnership that lasts for decade. Of course they gave marvel comic licence for Mafex and SHF but theirs sales won't affect Hasbro's.
>>11594105I'm sure you're right, I guess I am just hoping some Chinese team does like Eye Beam Summer, Badger Girl, Jane Grayson etc. or just Mafex or someone at least doing some characters other than just the X-Men.
>>11594105I just don’t understand why disney won’t lend out their star wars/marvel ips to everyone, it’ll overflood the toy market but it will also overflood their pockets.
>>11594127Spoken like a true know nothing
>>11594129Capcom is doing it with street fighter, so is Warner with DC why can’t disney with marvel?
>>11594127>it’ll overflood the toy marketHow is this a good thing? Have you never heard of the video game crash of the 80s? Cinematic universes? 2008 housing crisis? Soviet overproduction after WWII? Fucking Beanie Babies?
>>11594137Marvel comics during the 90s.
>>11592506>Marvel Legends>Looks goodsomething is not right....
>>11594149It better look good, it's massive.
>>11594131because there’s some sort of exclusivity deal or some shit that prevents other companies from making marvel comic characters. except for mafex but idk
>>11594182How did Diamond Select manage it? Because they were 7 inch?
>>11594187Specialty market only
>>11594187No, different markets. Hasbro product is sold at big box retailers like Target and Walmart. Diamond Select stuff was relegated to specialty shops like comic shops and other boutique style stores. A lot of the same stores that are under Hasbro's Fan Channel umbrella like GameStop and FYE also sell Selects because they fall into that boutique style store genre.
CUSTOM QUESTION: Has anyone used 6" Indiana Jones suit bodies with ML customs? I'm already assuming the heads pop off like ML, curious how well the ball joints work for ML heads
>>11594204I haven't tried it but assume you might get issues with it sitting too high or too low.
Post toys, you cretins.
>>11594213You guys sperg out every time I do though
>>11594213Diffuse your lighting, you cretin.
>>11594073You insufferable retards dont know how you have it and never will until hasbro loses the licensefor good or bad hasbro is the ideal parther for the marvel linejada and storm are relatively small with a limited production line, they probably do a/b listers and main teams for years until you could get the average deep cut hasbro does every 3 or so months, with the difference jada and storm can't tank literally who figures flopping like hasbro does, marvel legends has a team completition audience and for all their faults Dan and Dwight actually shills for them, thats why we get 90s literally who mutants as regular releases.not to mention the mcu issue, disney quite literally forces them to shit mcu figures even tho they Dwight clearly doesn't give a shit for them, imagine Jada and Storm dealing with that.Besides that hasbro has been improving, the 85 years line and the mvc line are fucking great and they are sthealtily using double ball joints and better necks now, look at the apocalypse and mvc wolverine, double jointed, look at mcu daredevil, has a great neck.if you want to see what real slop looks like look at lightning collection, look at black series, look at dc macfarlane and mortal kombat figures
>>11594220>if you want to see what real slop looks like look at lightning collectionThe monsters were great.
>>11594220forgot to mention, the only other company that can deal with the marvel ip in the same way hasbro does is bandai, and we ARE getting figures from them anyways as of now
>>11594220Yup all we just gotta do is just wait another 8 years and they’ll have articulation on par with jada.
>>11594220I've been saying this for years. Yet the retards here will scream and cry that you're a shill despite not being able to come up with a single good alternative to Hasbro that would give us a line like Marvel Legends.
>>11594211>knows nothing>makes an ass-pull assumptionI can assume the exact same fucking thing, retard. Why the fuck do you even need to weigh in if you don't know jack shit? I'm so fucking sick of you attention seeking retards opening your yaps when you don't know shit.
>>11594245He does it all the time. I'm pretty sure he does it because it annoys people.
>>11594222Mattel could too. And of course it would be exactly as bad as Hasbro or maybe worse.
>>11594233Maximun Spider-Man articuales more and is overall better than the mafex 75 and 185, has better qc, better proportions, more durable, cheaper, the paint doesn't chip, has more accesories, etc.and to this day people refuses to admit it because they became conditioned to hate hasbro and shill other brands or articulation schemes, i do think the jada/mafex scheme is the better one but for most people thats irrelevant over brand shitfighting
>>11594213I've seen this pic so many times the plastic's starting to melt
>>11594251lol, lmao even. Mattel is a lot worse than Hasbro, even by today's standards. It's clear you don't collect anything made by Mattel.>>11594254>Maximun Spider-Man articuales more and is overall better than the mafex 75 and 185, has better qc, better proportionslol, lmao even. I have both the Mafex and Maximum and while the Maximum is quite good for a Marvel Legend, it still doesn't hold a candle to the Mafex, especially since I paid like $60 for mine originally back when it released.
>>11594259I also have both and the mafex is probably the most overrated figure i ever had, i have even painted it myself and the paint falling down to the touch is quite common
Oh that's cool for all the folks that missed it.
>>11594220This. If you don't like Hasbro you still got plenty of options, but Hasbro is pretty good for the price. Look at DC lines, anything below $90 is garbage, McFarlane is utter shit and who knows what Mattel will do now that Todd lost the license. We will miss ML when it is gone.
>>11594254Maximum lacks ball shoulders which limits his two handed web swinging poses.>better portionsLmao have you seen his neck?
>>11594250No, he does it because he's a retarded attention-seeker. Retards like him are why I hate asking questions online, its even worse on facebook. Too many simpletons who desperately need to feel worthwhile, shitting up threads while one searches for the appropriate answer.
>>11594265>Lmao have you seen his neck?you should see the mafex gigantic head and diminute hands and feetthe maximun isn't perfect, its feet are too big, but its centantly better than the mafexalso the maximun has more torso and leg range despite not being double jointedits like the one time they actually executed that articulation scheme in a good way and people do mental gymnastic to deny them any credit since its competition its quite literally babies first import
>>11594278I think you're used to Marvel Legends duck feet and giant hands.
>>11594262Oh good, I don't have to pay scalper prices now.
>>11594245>Why the fuck do you even need to weigh in if you don't know jack shit?Because I've had some experience with head swaps? Unlike you probably. I'm assuming that one based on you asking that original question.
>>11594221Just wanted to echo this. I don't even care about Power Rangers, but I loved all the big, goofy monsters they did. Great for generic fantasy or sci-fi displays. Also, the single release Rita Repulsa is probably the best version of that character we'll get for a long time - which is probably why that figure is going for stupid prices on the aftermarket.The dude shilling for Hasbro has such terrible taste that he's ragging on some of the few products Hasbro actually did WELL in recent memory.
>>11594262Hey, great news!
>>11594298Sure, but your comment contributed literally nothing and didn't help anyone. So voicing your thoughts was meaningless and you really need to realize you don't need answer a question if you don't fucking know. Now kindly drink bleach, I hate you.
>>11594299I really like Pirantishead. Toss a black wash on it and it's perfect for all sorts of stuff. And the minotaur. And the steampunk robot thing. And the generic black sci-fi guy. And the...
>>11594259>Mattel is a lot worse than Hasbro, even by today's standards. It's clear you don't collect anything made by Mattel.What Mattel figure lines are your referring to? WWE? MOTU? Most Masterverse releases are very good. Sure, they've had issues with a few female faces recently, but the are re-releasing that Teela figure at least. Besides, they're getting the DC license soon. Then we'll have a very direct comparison with Marvel Legends. Until then, I appreciate Mattel's (slightly) higher quality and lower prices, compared to Hasbro figures.
>>11594307I'll give you Masterverse but the rest of it is pretty crappy.
>>11594307Masterverse isn't bad but they're WWE or JP releases, at least for the humans in JPs case, felt like a step down all around from Hasbro. Articulation was engineered worse, the likness wasn't even close, the paint was sloppy, the plastic felt even gummier and shittier than most Hasbro products. I'd have to assume that Mattel is somewhat more constrained on what they can do for licensed IPs vs ones they outright own. I'd imagine it's a similar situation to Hasbro in that the GI Joe Classified figures feel a step up form you average ML, probably has something to do with the fact Hasbro pays licensing fees for Marvel whereas they own GI Joe. Mattel is the same way.
>>11594307Masterverse HAS to be good because Revelation and New Eternia were really divisive among fans. DC has a huge fanbase baked in already so Mattel could get away with crap and people will still eat it up.
>>11594316I think MOTU Origins/Cartoon/Crossover stuff is pretty great too. Also, not a fan of the property, but the Mattel Lightyear toys had some great generic stuff - Big robots for GI Joe or X-Men, vehicles and playsets for 1/18 scale scifi, a big NERF bazooka - There was something for just about everyone.I'll even pick up an occasional WWE figure to be a random sumo wrestler or sultan. Don't care about dinosaurs though. So, if JP is the only line they're failing at, I'd say they're well ahead of the curve.
>>11594262Pass for me, I’ll just wait for the SHF.
>>11594073Storm was known for bad qc too though. I don't know if they still are, but definitely in the past
>>11594089It's Disney's fault they can't as they aren't giving anyone a license but a select few companies including Hasbro
>>11594094There's a lot of third party bayverse stuff
>>11594363its actually hasbros faulthasbro has the master license for the 6inch domestic toyline and articulated action figures,thats the reason diamond select was 7 inch and had limited articulation, hasbro was cockblocking them, thats also the reason Marvel Funkos are bubbleheads, to work around hasbro master licensemezco is the only american company that makes 6inch marvel figures besides hasbro and is mostly because they classified themselves as a high end expensive collectiblemeanwhile Sh and Mafex only do figures on asia, supposedly mafex was cockblocked out of having european distribution because doing so would make them lose the marvel license since that conflicts with the master license
>>11594298Hey fucktard, quit making excuses. You didn't have the answer, simple as. You assumed like a fucking retard that I had no experience with head swaps while missing the references I included where I've swapped before, so you can't even fucking read!ALWAYS its the same with you fucking assholes. You don't know but you want to weigh in anyway, and whenever it gets pointed out you didn't contribute jack shit of note, you get fucking mad about it. Just. Shut. Up. Quit with the nonstop assumptions you fucking child. You are literally worthless.
Am I going crazy or did the 97 Sentinel just go up in price?
>>11594259>Mattel is a lot worse than Hasbro, even by today's standards.I collect Masterverse and it is up there with Legends, but I will give you their wrestling stuff looks really bad (Haven't ever gotten one of the wrestling figures though to test it but they even seem bad in reviews).
>>11594410As someone who gets the wrestling stuff it's actually pretty good, better on accessories than the average Legends. Just got a Terry Funk on clearance for $13. Not a big hand of how the wrists plug in.
>>11594380You're repeating many myths. Disney has all the power to decide who can make figures. They can create another niche type of license if they want that doesn't conflict with Hasbro's master license. Diamond Select's license also had nothing to do with limited articulation (look at their Psylocke; it has quite good POA) but more to do with where it could be distributed, i.e. not major retail places like Target and Walmart where MLs are. Now that company is gone however, its unlikely anyone will be given the same license.
>>11594298Anyone who collects this line has experience with head swaps. Shut the fuck up with your non answer.
Looks like Hasbro is getting desperate.
>>11594527just saw this at a LTS for 5 bucks less.
>>11594540Well local toy stores are only accessible to you, not us. We only have Amazon--The Devil.
Got Born Again DD and Punisher. Thought I'd point out they gave us something different than they showed in the renders again. Frank was supposed to come with a left splayed out hand but instead came with a left trigger finger hand. I'm actually ok with it since now Frank can duel wield pistols if he wants to, it even has the vertical wrist hinge for guns. So, probably an improvement, but I thought I'd point it out regardless.They need to stop with these inaccurate renders.
>>11594527it's getting pretty autistic with how much you spam these Amazon screenshots.
>>11594602I’ll just wait for the mafex renditions so I don’t have to worry about which hands I’ll be getting because they’ll all be included.
>>11593502>I'm kinda pissed I even spent $30 on it.But also>I really don't feel as bad about getting a second onePlease tell me you're trolling. You cannot be this stupid and delusional.
>>11594012I've been here since the deep times, I know how /toy/ feels about KOs. Namely, it's usually really about who we feel about the companies being knocked off. We're you here when they released MP-36 Megatron for an exorbitant amount and by the time it hit shelves it had already been knocked off by multiple companies for both lower prices and superior quality?I guess that's immaterial to the KO Thanos. He was just 9/10ths as good for 1/3rd the price. I saw a marvel legends Thanos the other day at a collector shop and was genuinely sickened. We all have to make choices I suppose.
Why is he so sad?
>>11594630>We're Disregard I am retarded
>>11594631Him fambly got shooted :(
>>11594603Wasn't me this time, anon. Looks like we're multiplying.
>>11594631Crazy how good these figures can look when someone can actually pose them.
>>11594626See >>11594064I only ordered and paid for one and got the second one for free.
>>11594631His Jersey Shore spin-off was cancelled
>>11594631I really appreciate how they got his gear and uniform right. Those are definitely Crye G3 knock off pants he's wearing. That's really cool. Even GI Joe doesn't get them right.
>>11594702Whoever designed those toe hinges had no idea what he was doing.
>>11594708They're toe hinges. They work excellently. There's nothing else that needs to happen. Quit bitching.
>>11594709they could not look terrible. quit bitching about people's opinions.
>>11594631The actor REALLY wanted to play The Punisher, not the neutered woke version.
>>11594644Crazy how you never post toys
>>11594633So what’s the official 616 canon event regarding castle’s family, were they killed in a crossfire during a picnic or were they killed because the boy stumbled upon some gangsters killing a dude?
>>11594708I just got the new juggernaut and saw he has the same issue... I really don't know how they make these mistakes sometimes.
>>11594752Post the display
Got my nwh sandman some clothes
>>11594754Actual 616 or MCU 616?
>>11594785Try posting toys. Not that you own any.
>>11594819Looks sick, I love it
>>11594819Nice. Looks much better than I would've expected it to.
>>11594819its AI
>>11594753poorly engineered toe hinges. you're either not paying attention or you have zero standards.
>>11594603This is the first Amazon thing I've posted in maybe a year? Freak.
>>11594527this was up to $65 at my walmart tonight but it was $60 a few days ago
>>11594850Mcu is earth 199999
>>11594887So you're a nutjob looking for something to complain about.
>>11594819This is fucking awesome. Link to clothes?
>>11595051Stop posting
>>11594644Lol. Lmao even.
Is it just me or has /toy/ kind of lost the plot the past few months? Everything seems more schizophrenic than usual.
>>11595106It's always pretty much been like this. You're just getting older and realizing how much you're wasting your life.
>>11595106There's too many dedicated trolls and no mods to actually stop them.
>>11595129Naw, it was never quite this bad. In fact, in years past, /toy/ was one of the chiller boards. I feel like around covid it really started going downhill.>>11595131Also this. If we had some moderation it would probably be a bit better.
>>11595138If you've been out in the world everything has gotten crazier since 2020, not just a /toy/ board on the internet. I think it's just a reflection of current society. Hunker down, collect your toys, try to find a community that isn't insane to talk about them with and try to avoid loony toons.
>>11595106Given how Trumpy royally Fucked us hard with tariffs I'm not surprised in the least.
>>11595160>try to find a community that isn't insane to talk about themnat Thing is though that most people don't want that. They want an echo chamber where they'll feel accepted.
>>11595161First world problems, man...
>>11595160Yeah this is a good point. I make an effort of it to avoid going out in public as much as possible nowadays. Too many schizos out there trying to get my attention for one reason or another, and too many crazies out there that want to do physical harm to you. It's just not worth it really.>>11595161Are you implying prices haven't been going up since 2021? Because they have.>>11595163Yeah it's kind of weird to me how everyone wants just some homogeneous thing where everyone is the same like them. Apparently none of them watched the last two episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion.>>11595164I mean, to be fair, it's more than just toys that have increased in price, it's everything. Groceries are absurd, I'm to the point where I don't buy certain products anymore or have downgraded the quality since everything's too expensive. I thank Christ I bought my house when I did, I can't even imagine trying to buy a home today.
>>11595164Won't be first world much longer, anon
>>11595167>I make an effort of it to avoid going out in public as much as possible nowadays.This makes it far worse. Isolation does crazy stuff to your brain.
>>11595170Eh, some people are more content on their own. I am. I'm one of those people that could live in the woods alone for years and be fine. And it's not like I don't see people, I do. I just avoid going out and dealing with random strangers who I don't know.
>>11595161That too
>>11595161you have no idea what you're talking about and you have no idea how stupid you look
>>11595196NTA but McFarlane, Jada, Hasbro and Mattel's price hikes are all a direct result of the tariffs. McFarlane even had a press release stating as such back when this all started.
>>11595198The recent ones sure, but the rest of the ones from the past 5 years didn't come from tariffs.
>>11595204Yeah those were due to other factors.
>>11595205Point is, you can't really blame everything on Trump when prices have been increasing for years. Prices increased I think twice under Biden, and another few times during the Obama years. The prices on most goods started increasing dramatically during 2021, but they certainly haven't gotten better under Trump, that's for sure.
>>11595205Yeah, Trump's first term.
>>11595209Price went up $3 in just 8 months anon. It took 5 years to get from $20 to $25 previously.
>>11595284I never said that he wasn't to blame for the latest round of price hikes. Just that everything has been dramatically increasing over the past four or five years. Hell, I remember when I was paying $15-$16 for Legends just a decade ago. How time flies.
>>11595306It's time to stop buying. As long as people keep buying, the prices will keep going up
>>11595314I'll buy what I feel like. I'm not going to quit buying toys just because some broke autist on 4chan who can't even afford them himself tells me not to.
>>11595330Then the prices will keep going up. And eventually you will be one of those broke autists.
