Man these figuarts gamerverse figures suck so bad. Only thing that’s better compared to legends is the articulation. Cyclops looks like ass but I gave him a pass because it was the first figure. Then Spidey was shown and although it did not resemble mvc I also gave it a pass. But then they show this anorexic wolverine that makes the legends look godly in comparison, STRIKE 3 I’VE HAD IT. FUCK YOU BANDSHIT YOU’RE FIGURES ARE ASS AND I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING.

We were told Hellfire Gala Spider-Man wouldn't sell out, because he wasn't a normal Spider-Man. He was a weird Spider-Man, from the "NUU COMICS" and that people wouldn't want him. But he is gone. Spider-Man always sells.

Oh wait he's still up, he just can't be found easily with Walmart's broken search feature that is only intended to show you what they want and not what you search for. Ok.

Did you know Mystique is now Not A Villain in the comics? Listening to summaries of modern Xmen arcs makes me wonder why people don't embrace change in these characters and still cling to the 90s and earlier depictions of these characters, dubbing those the "iconic looks" and eschewing all others. But even what is "iconic" changes, as no one says first appearance Rogue, Cyclops or Beast are "iconic". When will the wheel turn on these characters?

>>11627699
Iconic is really in the eye of the beholder. I personally think the Jim Lee X-Men is their most iconic look, meanwhile someone older than me could think that the Claremont All New All Different are the iconic looks. Another person born in the 2000s may consider the Astonishing looks the iconic looks. I'd argue certain characters have iconic looks for every era. Iron Man for instance is always changing his costume, but then Cap or Spider-Man keep their costumes relatively the same throughout their histories.

The Baroness from GI Joe is in the same situation. Don't now if they ran out of ideas or just want popular characters to be on the good side, I just know that this dumb armor sucks and being good take out her sex appeal, which is really her whole character, she just like any Joe or Cobra has zero depth, don't know why change now.

>>11627723
I've been reading Amazing Spider-Man regularly since I was 12. I'm 36 now. Despite how terrible it's been for literally decades, I still read it. I still feel obligated to keep up with it, I've been reading it my entire adult life. I stopped paying for it though like at least a decade ago though. Those fags will get my money when they write something good.

>>11627731
They do this shit all the time in comics. People are constantly switching allegiances and sides. Remember when Flint Marko was an Avenger? The type of people who get upset at status quo changes like this are the same idiots who thought Hydra Cap would become the permanent status quo. I wish the general public had higher than a room temperature IQ.

>>11627752
Habits are prevalent in the human species eh? Collecting action figures may also be a habit like this, that people do long after it stops giving them joy.

>>11627755
Indeed, but it doesn't make less awful. Nobody like the ones you mentioned either, for me the real problem is not people thinking this will be new status quo, but the fact that people "hate buy" this crap, so the comic industry keep churning this shit, since it will always sells.

Although I've been part of the problem of late, I read that white Black Panther, at least I didn't paid kek. And yes, it's fucking awful.

>>11627784
I wonder why people can't appreciate character figure looks from newer comics though. Like Cyclops has a new uniform in the newer comics. It's still Cyclops and if it looks cool, why not buy it? Why does it always have to be Jim Lee?

>>11627817
I actually really liked Cyclops Krakoa era suit so I got the figure of it despite not really liking the Krakoa storyline after Hickman left.

>>11627699
>Listening to summaries of modern Xmen arcs makes me wonder why people don't embrace change
Because if you actually read the stories you'd learn one important thing. THE STORIES ARE BAD NOW! A lot of changes have been embraced by fans. Just not the crappy ones.

>>11627784
Tom Brevoort is very much on the platform of outrage farming. He's quoted as saying angry fans are buying but it's been less and less as time goes on. DC's far from where they were at their peak but they're actually doing a decent job of things. After the hit piece they did on Wally West they went well out of the way to sweep that shit under the rug, meanwhile marvel refuses to let any of their fans win.

>>11627817
>Like Cyclops has a new uniform in the newer comics. It's still Cyclops
That's the funny part, he isn't. He's a clone brainwashed by the cult to believe in resurrection through cloning (to say nothing of the rightclops supremacist crap from before that), like every mutant who took part in Krakoa unless stated otherwise. Or poor X-23, who got cloned while the "original" was declared dead only for her to return as Old Woman Laura (and shortly get killed off as the character was beyond repair). Not hard to see why only secondary media connected with people since Lee.

>>11627836
What led to this madness of Krakoa clone reviving Xmen? Why did they move in this direction? To make it easier to have crazy character deaths and have them come back next issue good as new?

>>11627817
>Why does it always have to be Jim Lee?
That's simply how nostalgia works. I imagine most ML buyers were mid-'80s to mid-'90s comic readers, as well as viewers of the original animated series. As long as they're the predominant consumer of the line those designs will get the most love.

Or they're like those retards who whine about imports not scaling with their MLs, and anything not just to their liking has to be bitched about.

I don't think that generation likes action figures much to start with. Maybe a funko pop or some desk tcochkey but not a full line of figures.

>>11627854
You forget that a lot of people dumped comics in the 90s and then came back around in the 2000s. That decade was pretty popular with many of those storylines being adapted into the MCU. If they were popular enough to be adapted to the big screen and well received there, those storylines must've been at least somewhat decent. I do however think I share >>11627859's sentiment in that the generation that grew up reading New Avengers, Astonishing X-Men, Batman Hush, and the like weren't as big into action figures as the previous generations were.

to what extent is the inherent gapping and other contrivances from articulation responsible for poor physiques? for instance spiderman, his classic incarnation was pretty stout while remaining a nimble street level character, is a subtle physique like that just always going to get lost in the translation to a modern action figure?

It's moreso that most modern action figures don't try to adapt an exact artist style or proportions due to reuse and other such limitations. Statues moreso go for artist specific styles.

Hah. No. No, I'm rather certain that much of what they adapted was for far more pragmatic rights and royalty related reasons. They were really good at hype farming themselves back then I'll grant them that, Wizard Magazine was all over their knob with these stories. So they did get attention and reviews, but honestly I really don't see too many people looking as fondly at them as I do classic stories

... you realize that's literally how MLs and MU figures were selected in the 00s and 10s, right? Most of the characters chosen, and their designs, came from the current comics at the time. Even the vintage designs came from the current comics, because comics at the time were also heavily referencing old storylines (like Cap revisiting his past when he "died")

Tons of figures were made from the 00s storylines.

Remember that retard a month or two ago who totally thought Dan Yun got fired and tripled down on his retardation when it was pointed out he was being retarded? I think about that exchange every once in a while and it makes me smile.

They definitely went more all in on the 2000s and even the 2010s than they have with current era stuff. I'm surprised we haven't seen Wolverine's latest outfit yet. Maybe the Krakoa era stuff didn't sell like they thought it would and with X-Men 97 being ripe for milking, they decided to forgo anything current. At least with Spider-Man we're seeing some stuff like Chasm, whatever his girlfriend's name is, and Spider-Boy. But when was the last time we got anything Avengers related that was from past like 2007? Dark Avengers seems to be the most recent Avengers story line they're willing to touch.

That has been the Marvel mandate since Mattel's Secret Wars toyline in the 80s.
In the 90s, almost every character who was appearing in the comics, even characters who appeared in 2 panels, was getting an action figure.

If they're not doing this anymore, then it's definitely a problem with the comics and Marvel knows this. Hasbro can only make whatever Marvel wants them to make, hence them actually skipping making a Wolverine movie toyline for the 2nd Wolverine movie and the fact that the toys are so comic book heavy. Hasbro can make suggestions but that's it.

>>11628541
i rarely buy single issues either, so i don't see a problem with that part. Not reading though? Fuck them for making fucking omnibuses a collector's commodity. Collected editions and trades shouldn't be collectible.

Sandman was interesting in his turn to a good guy over time, especially since he still kept his rough edges compared to straightforward good guys.

You're asking this in a thread full of contrarians? The most you're going to get is goat-adjacent answers, especially because there's not the single figure which was a perfect release

I for one would say the Modular Iron Man comes pretty damn close but the Anniversary (shiny) Iron Man is probably the best overall release. The other one that comes close due to the amount of accessories, articulation and overall paint job is the Deluxe War Machine from a couple years back

How the hell am I supposed to fix this? I even had the thing dipped in hot water to loosen it up and both legs just shattered on me.

I have another copy of the 2020 that also got some issues. I tried to pop the hips ( the whole legs) pieces through the usual heat/hot water but the part is made up of 2 hard plastics that were glued. There is not much I can do to detach/reattach the legs without damaging the inner part of the hard plastic

You can use a small screw to replace the broken peg and it should work just as if it never broke. There are tutorials on YouTube. Just search for Marvel legends broken thigh swivel. It's unfortunately a result of the swirly twirly plastic they use for metallic characters. It's just brittle and breaks. I've had it happen to one or two of my own figures. Hell, I picked up a matte colored iron man and war machine just because of this even though I prefer the metallic looks.

This, it's totally fixable.

>>11629183
But they are only fans of the media they see really, they are not going to go back and read comics just because they saw a Daredevil TV show. I suppose they might buy action figures...of the Daredevil from the TV look. But not so sure about figures of comic Daredevil

More will do just that than you probably expect, normies go to Barnes & Noble regularly

>>11629435
>normies go to physical bookstores rather than buying on kindle where they own nothing
I'm skeptical

Also if normies actually bought super hero comics wouldn't they be selling better when everyone notes how horrible they sell? And cover variant sales are a major source of sales. Thus Marvel Legends can't benefit from people who only care about cover variants and not the stories.

>>11629469
This. Normies aren't going out and buying trades at fucking Barnes and Noble. If anything, they're buying manga. The manga section is like 3 or 4 times the size of the western comic section, and even then the western comics are always fully stocked and never looking like people have been buying them. Only diehards read actual funny books nowadays.

If they aren't, then who's buying the trades that Barnes and Noble are stocking trades inside their stores for?
It's not the people buying the actual comic books at comic book stores and their numbers supposedly haven't changed much in the past 15 years (whose market obviously suffers from no one dying or giving up on comics, because comic book fans are robots, btw).
Trades have become such an important part sales numbers that the comic makers began writing for trades more than a while ago.

So who's buying trades, if not normies and newbies?

>>11629269
Wonder if they'd consider doing a re-release. I would assume there's aw ay to figure out how this can be fixed in general right? Or is it just the nature of the plastic and nothing can be done?

>>11629688
>If they aren't, then who's buying the trades that Barnes and Noble are stocking trades inside their stores for?
No one. Your chart is at latest from like four years ago.


>It's not the people buying the actual comic books at comic book stores and their numbers supposedly haven't changed much in the past 15 years (whose market obviously suffers from no one dying or giving up on comics, because comic book fans are robots, btw).
They don't exist anymore either. That market is slowly shrinking. Comics aren't bringing in new fans, at least not in the numbers they need to be seen as successful.

>Trades have become such an important part sales numbers that the comic makers began writing for trades more than a while ago.
And I'd argue that the trade paperback scene was pretty good even until the mid 2010s. But in the last five years I've watched, almost in real time, as the TPB section at my B&N shrunk while the manga section grew.

>So who's buying trades, if not normies and newbies?

How nice that you can't read english, third worlder. I notice you haven't been posting lately. What happened?

Since your have trouble reading English that you can't copy and paste into your translator: that chart is only about comic books, not trades
Trades started becoming popular around 2005. This is around the time book stores started to expand their graphic novel sections and it's basically the most growth the comic industry has experienced since then (see pic)

And because no newer charts exist, i couldn't post them. You can look at sales here though: https://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2022.html
2022 had an increase over 2021, btw. Go a year further and sales only went down in the single digits. So sales overall are still mostly the same no matter what you say.

But since you're a third worlder, i know you won't read anything and cnotinue making shit up just to argue.

Nta but I feel like your comment is rather disingenuous and wrongfully condescending given the fact that you only talk about overall revenue while completely leaving out the fact that one of the images in your link shows that in terms of comics, there was an increase of +2000 (+15%) in print comic releases from 2021 to 2022.

Of course revenues could go up or stay stagnant when you release new stuff to keep your numbers afloat. Also, given the fact that Diamond hasn't been transparent about their numbers in recent years doesn't necessarily emphasise your point.

OK, Goldilocks. It’s not like Gamerverse Wolverine is as tall as the average ML, he’s still short. This complaint is really overstated.

>>11630054
That's great that you want to disagree with me, but you don't offer any evidence or facts to validate your opinion.

Your post basically amounts to
>you're wrong because i said so

Nevermind the fact that stores are carrying trades and aren't doing it freely, nor for charity, which means it's popular enough to profit off of them. So just from stores carrying stock backs up what I've said.

>>11630098
>you're wrong because i said so
So I get from your comment that you simply don't like to be called out for not providing enough evidence for your claims. Someone doesn't have to provide additional proof to signal that your argument is lacking in logic. Also, acting like I'm disagreeing with you just for the sake of it is immature, you might want to change that

I'm not the anon you were originally referring to so I'm not saying comics are completely obsolete and not being bought. All I'm saying is that numbers, or the lack thereof, are implying the market is rather stagnant than growing. I do hope that interest for the hobby will increase because there is loads of potential but recent years have shown that creativity is extremely low

i hope you're just samefagging or the third worlder who's just trying to shitpost, because we don't need more dumbshits who make arguments out of thin air.

>>11630117
Can you at least confirm you have a ponytail? I wanna say you admitted to it a few years ago.

Are you literally unable to read? Where did I say that you were completely wrong? I said that while the information you provided may be factually correct, your arguments should still be subject to validation in terms of the industry growing and flourishing.

>How about instead of making shit up like a 12 year old girl, you actually link to anything that backs up what you say?
How about you stop acting like a narcissistic dipshit who has never had friends before and actually start behaving like a regular human?

>>11629979
Yes! Ioved how you added ball jointed hands and that repainted head from a statue. Make it a complete different figure than >>11629949
Such a shame you broke it. Hope you can fix!

Wolverine is a goddamn midget at 5’3. The newer version stands more like 5’8 being the same height as other females.

Not even part of the conversation but just wanted to say that you sound like a huge and insufferable faggot, holy shit. Do you behave like this in real life as well or are you legit trolling? If you do, I feel sorry for the people who have to put up with you on a constant basis

>>11630184
It's subjectanon. He's been like this for like a decade at this point. Maybe more. I genuinely feel bad for his poor brother and sister in law, that have to put up with him during the holidays.

Jeez Hasbro. The stuff from my mini comic wave 2 and Executioner wave has shipped already. Wtf? This shit wasn't due out for like two months. You're killing me Hasbro.

>>11630233
Yeah the timing on all this is getting bad.

>>11630184
I'm not the one that's arguing just to argue.

I state a claim, back it up with facts, and some 12 year old girl comes come in with a "nuh uh." They then cry about my tone, because i expect actual insight instead of made up shit just to disagree.

And here you are, also crying about tone, because you're another little bitch who's super sensitive about words on the internet.

Do you even own any Marvel action figures? Ever read a comic?
Kinda want to be ontopic, instead of being tone policed by a bunch of HR cows.

>>11630248
>All this strawmanning because someone pointed out that you act like a cunt.
Get over yourself.

>>11630248
That one anon was as respectful as can be and genuinely seemed to disagree with the numbers you posted without being a shitbag about it. You immediately jumped into a full on defense mode because of your insecurities and you still don't even realise it but would rather play the victim card all day long.
>And here you are, also crying about tone, because you're another little bitch who's super sensitive about words on the internet.
See? Once again, you're playing the victim and not accepting other people's criticism. Very telling

>>11630248
Yes you are. You're the only one here shitflinging like a little girl and unable to accept criticism. Going "waaaaaah I posted poor data so everyone has to accept it or counter with other poor data!" is pathetic to say the least and then continuing by playing the victim like >>11630312 said is even more pathetic.

So... Toys?

Black or Blue?

Scales or no scales?

I can't decide. The gamerverse set turned out to be way better than I thought it would be. Solid fucking pickup for $30.

>>11630328
Scales and black. The blue is way too light and without highlights really looks like an inferior figure. Even the TAS Venom from a few years back looks way better

Is there any 1/10 line of Marvel figures going on or coming out anytime soon? With Marvel Select dead, I'm considering getting rid of all the non-big guys I can't fudge in with Legends or 1/12 imports, but it'd be nice to have an alternative.

I dunno, in person, Venom is really doing it for me. The colors aren't as gnarish than pictures convey. But yeah I'm inclined to agree with you on Black Venom. Although I really do dig blue boy.

As for Cap, I agree usually but the proportions on the new one are just so good. The broader chest is just so 90s. I still haven't decided on if I want to display the new one on the Avengers shelf or not, but regardless I'm using the new heads on whichever body I pick. I really prefer the larger eye holes on the new fig compared to the 20th anniversary one. I know the small eye holes is more classic, but this just looks like my minds eye version of Captain America. Was shocked the blues actually match. I thought the new one was slightly darker. The bigger eye holes look so much better.

New head, new shield, old body. I think this might be my shelf Cap.

>>11630347
Welp, probably gonna have to use the new shield now. The clip on the one I was using is breaking. Although, I may swap it with a spare clip I have from another shield. How annoying. Hasbro really needs to figure out a better solution to Caps shield. Or use better plastic for ffs.

And I guess I don't have to swap it out with an existing shield. Found a 3d print file for the clip online. fits perfectly on Caps wrist too and feels less brittle. Plus if it does break I can just print a new one. Thanks random anon on the internet, it's nice to know I now have an unlimited supply of these things since they all break so fucking easily.

>>11630438
NTA but I think I might be and also I am being sued for a large sum of money. Its over for me

>>11630564
lol what did you do?

That one Mexican said Silver Surfer needs to be a lot taller but I dont know how tall you'd want it. Even Toy Biz didn't make him that tall

>>11630681
I got the Mafex. No regrets. Especially after seeing the new ML. It's way too bright.

well that looks really fucking good

Man, glad I passed on Surfer. Really not worth upgrading from the Walgreens version.

Brah, i was respectful too. I asked her for some evidence to back up what they said, to see if she actually had a point, and instead got more bullshit.
There's nothing to respect if someone is going to throw more bullshit back at you.

If you even look at what's being argued, you'd note that the numbers are just ESTIMATES. Anyone who reads finance knows that data keeps being added or someone noticed a mistake, but the numbers are roughly what they're supposed to be. Even with presidential elections and tallying votes, which youd think should be perfect, there will be errors there too.

Nevermind those charts show different things. They're not going to match up with one another, because the entire point that they're showing is the trade paperback market is completely separate from the comic book market and how it grew disproportionately over the years. Hence, normies and newbies going to bookstores, because they're not the people going to comic book stores to buy comic books.

So that sensitive princess ignored my point to nitpick at some detail i was never talking about. They picked a random point just to disagree with me: they created an argument out of thin air.

We were having nice conversation about how new fans find out about the random comic book characters that come out in the Marvel Legends line, and in show up a bunch of faggots to derail the thread because they don't care about comics or comic toys and want to create drama because that's more entertaining for them.
