Whoops, forgot to update the previous thread: >>11800148
Gonna repost this from the last thread since it's dead:Guys, what do you think? Yes or no to Mezco Hulk? I am a Hulk Collector. I have Mezco Green Goblin and he's great but I'm not as certain about Hulk. I've heard he's supposedly too short for the scale he is supposed to be
>>11808248Nice. Finally something new for me to get.
>>11808248Anyone else notice the elbows have gotten uglier and uglier over the past few years on MLs?
>>11808298No, we're not autistic like you
Got Gamerverse Spidey. The articulation isn't the best. Not bad though.
>>11808271Mystique looks lame as fuck too, and they're definitely going to make figures of all these
>>11808459I doh;t they'll make figures for all of them. My guess is Sabertooth and that's it other than Logan. Still awful designs though.
>>11808459Are these the next Ollie's fodder?
>>11808527No because they're not even gonna be made.
>>11808494>I doh;t they'll make figures for all of themnigga this what insomniac is making instead of spider-man 3 (for now)they're gonna full waves for this game
>>11808532They haven't even made any villains other than Venom from any of the three Spider Man games. They'll make Wolverine, maybe a Sabertooth, but even then I doubt it, and then a couple of costume variants maybe. This won't be a full wave unless it's 90% alt costumes.
>>11808537I'll remember this when they announce a figure of ugly Mystique wearing generic padded body armor, and you'll see my posts reminding you that you were wrong, and of course you won't respond, but nonetheless I'll know that you saw them and felt shame
>>11808248I appreciate having a silver age head and a bronze age head that also encompass the moods from those eras.>>11808459At least they passed the bar of not just trying to recapture the lightning in a bottle that was X-men Movie Mystique, but putting her in the most nothingburger 00's tacticool outfit is definitely a waste. Maybe it's not the outfit she'll have for the entire game, but it's hard not to be pessimistic.
>>11808542Ok but there's no reason to be such a gaywad about it.
>>11808537>They haven't even made any villains other than Venom from any of the three Spider Man games.That's great, because Sabretooth is a companion in the game like Jean Grey who will be around during gameplay segments fighting alongside you and you do back and forth combos with themMystique and old ass MadTV black woman Calypso probably will be tooThe only villains in that gameplay demo were generic tech-vomit cyborg mercenaries and one was Skullbuster, though he looked almost indistinguishable from the others, so Ravagers, then there Omega Red, and a ninja, and then a Sentinel that was the same size as the tech-vomit cyborg mercenary RavagersAlso you're forgetting they did figures of Mister Negative and his demon mask goon
>>11808553and they did Gamerverse Kingpinand also Black Cat, but I never played spider-slop 1 or 2 or Miles Morales: fuck a deaf girl so I don't if she started as a villain or whatever and then becomes your friend by the end
>>11808553I am morbidly fucking curious what Omega Red will look like given how hard these designs feel like the monkey's paw of someone trying to combine 00's gritty realism with comic book designs.
>>11808560
>>11808562I didn't have "body horror of his retractable dick whips coming out of bare arms" on my bingo card, oh good.
>>11808564
>>11808553>Also you're forgetting they did figures of Mister Negative and his demon mask goonOnly because they were easy repaints of an existing suited body. Anything with an even remotely complex armored look was skipped. It didn't really help that none of the designs in these games are any good, but still.
here's how fucking lame sabretooth's costume isit's so lame they can't not poison the market with a figure of him
>>11808570>>11808271why are these dummy secondaries obsessed with putting padded armor on guys who regenerate from damage in 5 seconds
>>11808588>>11808570>>11808459It's kind of wild that in making a video game, the designs and art style you can do are limited only by the imagination, but all these turds could imagine was "What if we just shackled them to the sauceless movie realism universe from the 00's/10's?" It's especially amazing that they didn't learn the lesson from MvCI getting fucking lambasted for doing the most boring movie likeness artstyle possible for a comic hyperfighting game.
>>11808605>>11808605>"What if we just shackled them to the sauceless movie realism universe from the 00's/10's?"Don't put that evil on anyone but Disney-MarvelThe Wolverine Origins tie-in game had way more style than this, and that'll probably remain the best Wolverine game even after this new one comes outAnd based on the trailers and story description for the PS5 game, it'll be pretty similar
>>11808644this game is gonna be Origins with worst combat, cringe dialogue, bad characters with forced play sections and a third person camera
>>11808605What did YouTube meme by this?
>>11808704Origins is so fucking good and it’s insane the best tie in video for a movie is for arguably the worst comic book movie of all time
My wife surprised me with Shuma-Gorath. I ordered one a few months ago from Amazon but someone swapped him out with an orange and blue Starwars Black series Mando. Really fun toy.
>>11808704I look forward to the walking stealth sections where you play as that retarded green mutant child or whateverIt's funny that old-ass Calypso was clearly in that section but they barely showed her because they've obviously seen the negative response to how she looks
So I just won an auction for this - $4 plus excessive postage; I bought the 60th anniversary figure at the recommendation of some of you a while back (also a fair price). No, I don't want to buy a Mafex or a SHF. I don't even want to buy a CT or other import KO. I realize many of you consider Spider-Man to be a Basic Bitch action figure from Hasbro and you already told me the last thread to spend the money on Maximum. That all said ....I just want to confirm that y'all think getting the Renew Your Vows SM instead, even just the buck on a different SM, would still be a waste of money even if I found it for a bargain price like this Battle Damage?
>>11808717well if the price is right I would get a standard spider-man AND a battle damaged cuck-shield spider-man with an unmasked headI wouldn't say one invalidates the other
>>11808720I won that Battle Damaged, $4 plus an absurd amount for "first class postage" - like another $20. So still cheaper than most NEW Marvel Legends at Walmart or Target or from Hasbro Pulse. I have the Friendly and TASM movie figures but wanted a comic accurate SM, so that's why I bought the 60th Amazing Fantasy. Paid the most, in a damaged box, but new, but still a fair price compared to regular retail.But he actually seems to move worse than the Bombastic Bagman figure or the Retro carded Pizza Spidey (which, with the regular non-eating head, is the 'comic accurate SM' I have been using the most). So I actually put the 60th back in the box and put it away. I mean, if I have pizza spidey should I just give up chasing down RYV or Maximum? Some of y'all here and elsewhere make it sounds like posing either or both is orgasmic.
>>11808728I have both the Daredevils that use the RYV buck and I still like them better than the newer bulkier Secret Wars one because they pose better.
>>11808605I just want comic games to look like comics. Even MUA3 while not as bad still had a bad amount of lines
>>11808459Its black widow in blue face
>>11808728I'm still rocking Pizza Spidey along side your pic related. I like the first appearance one a lot and would love to upgrade Pizza with a more up to date figure but I can't justify the cost.
>>11808743anything made after 2010 is going to have panel costumes with random armor pieces and heightened realism bullshiteven when it's a fucking anime fighting game
has anyone tried one of those "dented package" retro card spideys which are obviously bootlegs?
>>11808605Playstation/modern gaming's goal is just to show off how extremely, innovatively, system-breaking their games are that we live an age where video games can be movies now. Then I realize that Insomniac also have Ratchet, one of their "pixar movie" products, so they are capable of making something cartoony or something less steeped in realism. But we just have to have games loosely-based on MCU, even though Squenix Avengers flopped
>>11808749>Playstation/modern gaming's goal is just to show off how extremely, innovatively, system-breaking their games are that we live an age where video games can be movies now.they do that by making every game into last of us or last of us but with baby's first character action combat (god of war) the gameplay in wolverine and god of war: woman look near identical, they even both featured a heavy focus on a companion running around in the background helping you with combos
>>11808754Same thing with Heavenly Sword back then
>>11808749It's just boring when every game sony makes is THE game. Something as rife with potential as a comic book game should not just be Last of Us Snikt Bub edition.
>>11808562Val Kilmer?
>>11808743I know your pain all too well anon. I hate how MCU lines became standard for every modern costume design and basically switch to a classic looks for every character whenever a game allows to me to. I hate the ugly ass white spider suit in the sony games, but that pill is easier to swallow when you can use any costume you want from the beginning and have it actually show up in the cutscenes too.
>>11808830Yeah, you even get some good ones without having to shell out for DLC. I'm not the biggest fan of those games but credit were credit is due. For doing the basic thing a game should. How depressing.
>>11808852just compare that to the all the costumes in the PS1 spider-man games and how a lot of them had actual gameplay bonusesor the Raimi Spider-Man 1 game where they let you play as Green Goblin after you beat it and he had a completely different combat system and full use of the gliderThat open-world Hulk game also had a ton of different skins for Hulk, some of which were full model swaps that broke the animations, like savage banner being the size of a regular human or abomination being 1.5 times bigger than the standard hulkbut games just don't do fun shit anymore
>>11808605Why are you shocked? Insomniac's entire gimmick is just offering third rate movie ripoffs down to outright stealing plot beats from secondary media since Spider-Man, which you clowns never admitted was bad.
>>11808853Ultimate Alliance as a series is a great example. Go play part 1 and every character will have like four alts based on a different comic all of which have a different set of stats. Some costumes were actually entirely separate characters like Beta Ray Bill and Julia Carpenter. They even get different dialogue based on who you're fighting. MUA3, is an okay game really, but you get shit for costumes. Just recolors and 1 alt. Which you have to get through a shit grinding system that feels like a gacha game. There's no hub base, no dialogue differences and it just feels hollow.
>>11808749did you even see wolverine? his "skeleton" is flush to his skin. he doesn't even have a proper adamantium skeleton which is his whole appeal as a character. this game isnt even Sony's best attempt at realism games. That would Death Stranding. wolverine is very lazy B team game and I highly doubt this game is even over 15 hours longs
>>11808856Death Stranding isn't a real Sony game, even though it is partially a walking sim
>>11808853>let you play as Green Goblin after you beat it and he had a completely different combat system and full use of the gliderLike the alternate Spidey costume you could unlock, the alt Goblin was based on the unused Alex Ross concept art for the first Raimi movie. Which I would really like a toy of, because it's cool as fuck.>>11808855I remember playing MUA1 in early high school when I was really getting into comics and thought stuff like the Beta Ray Bill skin was cool as hell. And I also liked MUA3 well enough, but each character only having one true alternate costume and a palette swap was lame as hell to me too.
>>11808858it was when it came out. kojima only bought the IP back right before DS2 came out. it also uses one of Sony's engines
>>11808901Death Stranding has always been a KojiPro franchise. Since the first game. Decimia is a Sony Engine but they let specific partners like KojiPro use it.
>>11808730okay thank you, good to know. yeah, I saw one of those at my friend's house and it feels really nice in hand>>11808745yep, that's my issueI don't mind spending money when it's reasonablebut trying to buy shit after the fact is a pain what with scalpers and shippingeven third party sellers on walmart and amazon now want to paid for the shipping half the time
>>11808929Sony used to own death stranding. kojima only owns it recently. yes its kojima's idea from the start but it was 100% a sony first party games. you could equate it to gamefreak creating pokemon and nintendo owning 33% of it but in this case, Sony owned 100% of death stranding only until recently. Insomniac's whole marvelverse is kind of like the opposite of this since Insomniac used to be independent and Sony bought them after the success of Spiderman
>>11808970I don't think that's true anon, the first game came out pretty quick on PC and wasn't even published by Sony
>>11808709He looks really neat posed on a shelf but the soft plastic is worrying.
>>11808709why is everyone's (including mine) first instinct to put him next to a bunch of gorls
>>11808709He looks cool man! Shuma and the Wolverine two pack are the only two MvC Gamerverse packs I haven't picked up yet because I'm hoping they might go on sale.
how mad does this make you
>>11809232It doesn't because the only two games I'm interested in are Ace Combat 8 and Tomb Raider. I have the first Control, but never played it much, I really should give it a go, maybe I'll like it and the new one. I couldn't give less of a shit about CoD and multiplayer games in general tbqh, and after the travesty that was Spider-Man 2, I'm confident Insomniac can't write a good story to save it's life anymore, so I really don't give a shit about Wolverine either.
>>11808248$40 Doc Samson.kek. lmao. no. just no. I'll stick with my 2008 Fin Fang Foom wave version. I'd upgrade maybe if he were a basic figure, but I'm sick of their non-deluxe "deluxe"'s. Greedy Hasbro.
>>11808709>My wife surprised me with Shuma-Gorath.Because you found it hidden in her "special drawer"?
>>11809232>how mad does this make you???ummmm no opinion whatsoever??? Is it a pricing thing? I don't think I've bought a game on day one since the Arkham Asylum days, and I learned to wait for the GOTY editions. Besides, I paid $70 for Strider on the first Genesis system way back in the 80s, so?What are we supposed to be angry about here?
>>11809232It doesn't, it makes me glad I sold my gifted PS5 last year for toy money.
>>11809232>Black Flag ResynchedWasn't that the pirate one? I tried to get into it because pirates and the location was cool, but the game just didn't grab me. Sad for me, I wish I could be more into games but they just don't hold my attention long. Kinda pointless to spend too long doing nothing.
>>11808855>Ultimate Alliancethose were great games. Wish they'd do more like it.
>>11809232I'm honestly more happy that I don't have to spend money on Video Games anymore and can just enjoy what I already have access to
>>11808248this could would make a cool Nathan Explosion custom desu
>>11809232I'm just a little sad honestly
>>11809232the tomb raider remake is the only one I'd ever even have a 5% chance of playing and that shit will be on sale for 30 dollars with with a bunch of DLC 6 months after it comes out
>>11808269I think he looks good but he is smaller than the ML one and honestly the sculpt is just too detailed to fit in with any comic stuff I own, so I passed.
>>11809158anon, thats the PC port. Sony still owned the game. In fact, you can still see SONY INTERACTIVE PRESENTS INSIDE the game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KteYGmpkINEbut thats besides the point. the point is that whichever team is making Wolverine, is not aiming for any good quality realism. I highly doubt they care
>>11809334Death Stranding 2's PC port also has the Sony splash screen.
>>11809232I haven't paid for digital media in forever, pirating all of it. I mean, I do waste money on plastic crack, it's not like I'm going to risk being put in strip mall jail at Walmart for shoplifting a fucking Hasbro Marvel Legends. But they can start charging millions for games, I could care less.
>>11808743Shitty Mcu dialog as well. Tony is forever gonna be just a god awful Rdj impersonator.
>>11808265he looks like he wants to tell us something.
>>11808306then ur ignorant. i’m tired of pretending 15 year old articulation is ok when its not. >muh waists swivel is good>muh ab crunch is good>muh shitty elbows that make no sense design wise>the knees look & work just fine>the neck articulation makes sense and doesn’t look weird at all>being ok with “premium” figures having toe joints & the bare minimum accessoriesScrew the big corpos & their cheapness. And if u defend them ur part of the problem
>>11809334>>11809338You're both partially right. It seems Kojima bought back the IP from Sony of Japan but in that region only, all other regional branches of Sony still own the rights in those respective regions.
>>11809291A Metalocalypse toyline would be kino.
>>11808743I'd kill for some accurately sculpted figures from that game, especially some of the ladiesBut instead we're going to get a full wave of unsellable, bland PS5 junk
>>11808570I have ti give them props for reproducing the old Team X uniforms fairly faithfully, but it's probably only because there's only so much you can change on an already tacticool outfit.
>>11809382it doesnt really matter. insomniac's art direction for spiderman and by extension wolverine, was decided before sony even acquired insomniac. wolverine's art style just seems partocularly shit because it doesnt even looked polished. its crazy to think that this game needs to sell 6 million copies minimum or else Sony has to pay Marvel a hefty penalty
>>11809403>its crazy to think that this game needs to sell 6 million copies minimum or else Sony has to pay Marvel a hefty penaltythat's just what happens when you dump 100s of millions into a single product over the course of like 6 years
>>11809410If anything, this game is making me reinstall Wolverine Origins: Uncaged Edition. It's on Myabandonware so there's no reason to not have it.
>>11808459Is her face melting off?
>>11809384We already got one though. It was excellent.
>>11809417no, she's just intentionally made into a hag like every other woman in the game
>>11809416Ok. Yeah, I think I'm good. I'm glad I don't own a PS5 after that embarrassment of a State of Play yesterday. I don't need the new game when I have this, especially if the Insomniac universe doesn't even have the X-Men.
>>11809455The most embarrassing post on /toy/

>>11809603>a challenger appears
>$12 children’s toys are better proportioned than your average marvel legends figure. Wow
>>11809852nice ab crunch Ahmed, wanna bring it to the white house?
>>11809857Why would he need an ab crunch?
>>11809863because it's not 1991 anymore
>>11809868You’ve got no rational argument as to why that figure needs an ab crunch.
>>11809852Cool made up argument broski
>>11809852wowa decent 6 inch hal jordan figure, something that's never been done befo--oh waitlet me know when they make scandal savage or something interesting
>>11809886Nta but I’m kind pissed at hasbro. Why the fuck is the average legend figure now $30? At most they should be $20-22 when compared to those dc kiddy figs. More people should be angry. Mattel just exposed the game.
>>11809893>Why the fuck is the average legend figure now $30?Because it costs more money to assemble, paint, tool, ship, plus licensing fees. Those DC kiddy toys don't hold a flame to MLs.>More people should be angry. Mattel just exposed the game.Oh, you're delusional. Nevermind. Facts don't work on you.
>>11809893If you're paying $30 for a regular ML, you're doing it wrong.
>>11809899Imagine being this much of a company cuck
>>11809902thats going to be the standard price coming at the end of this year.
>>11809893we already know manwhy can we get knockoff Mafex's that just have slightly worse paint jobs for 1/3rd the cost of the real ones?This shits all inflated because we're stupid and they know it.
>>11809917You act like this is exclusive to Marvel Legends and Hasbro and even toys. Sorry, but the blaming Hasbro for price hikes when literally everything else going up in price too is annoying. I don't like rising prices anymore than you do, but I also don't like listening to you bitch about it for the umpteenth time.
>>11809928Whoops meant for >>11809911
>>11809909Why don't you try to shill Blokees more
>>11809899Look, I'm not saying Marvel Legends are trash, I love my ML Hulk figures.But you gotta admit, the price increases have been getting out of control lately. Far more than just inflation.Personally I think Hasbro has been just raising prices on all their shit to cover the losses of some of their less successful lines from the last few years ....looking at fucking YOU, Star Wars
>>11809931Blokees are a better value and pose better than the average legend. Those are just facts and I’m sorry they upset you.
>>11809959sub par bait
>>11809964The easiest example I could give you is gamerverse moonknight. If you think the legends is better then there’s no hope for you.
>>11809986I think that design sucks in general, I wouldn't even want a pristine 11/10 mafex version on discount for 30 dollars
I have a controversial ideahttps://youtu.be/eYRjtJwx31Y?si=1FXEV81bv2_s4710
>>11809736I’ve been listening to the Sega Wolverine soundtrack, very Doommetal.>>11809384Heck yeah, CastleRat too!>>11808717Wow great deal!>>11809852Just picked up Batman

>>11809928>hey the goyim are expecting to pay more for everything, why don't we hop on this train? They'll ride with us if it's only an extra $3 every few years
>>11810035I've been bouncing between the Genesis and SNES Arcade's Revenge tracks during work recently trying to convince myself the Sega ones are better because that's what I played growing upIt's not working.
Blokees Rivals Invis release imminent. Listings have started popping up on Ali
>>11810207until they do a wedding dress version with the namor insignia butt plug I shan't be buying
>>11810207I really don't like the Rivals design. And the blue should be the more prominent color.
>>11810279she has a recolor in-game that's bluer. shouldn't be a hard cutom. it's a model kit after all, definitely easier to paint on. i like the hairstyle of the rivals version. just makes her look less like a generic blonde
>>11809868And it’s not 2010 anymore. Ab crunch is outdated and limited. Everything needs to be ball for 360 range.
Where's that Onslaught preorder.
>>11810444One hour to on now
>>11810444He's still up now. Didn't sell out in seconds which is kind of shocking for a Target drop.
Link for onslaught if you need it. Target makes it impossible to find.https://www.target.com/p/-/A-94977299?clkid=51072291N15a211ec9343e99197ede06a&cpng=&TCID=AFL-51072291N15a211ec9343e99197ede06a&afsrc=1&lnm=81938&afid=Mavely&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002
>>11810520I just searched for Target Summer Geekout on Google and it brought me to the front page with all the products.
>>11809183Yes I’m worried about the tentacles ripping.>>11809214Haha>>11809265Haha I’ll have to post in the Gooner thread.>>11810052Are you me?I grew up playing the Sega one but I like the snes music better now. Gambit’s stage music is fire! Tim and Geoff Folin were some of the best composers of that era!Have a great Friday/toy/ soldiers!
>>11809222Same, I have all of them save for the Wolverine vs Silver-samurai. Just using 97 Wolverine as a stand in for the time being.Oh I also need the Punisher NickFury two pack, which looks rad!
>>11810441"ab crunch" just refers to the ability of the torso to move in general anon, it's not specific to the bad looking marvel legends chest joint.
>>11810035>great deal!I was surprised and happy.It's some consignment auctioneer and they promise the sellers 80% of the sale. 80% of $3.50 is going to be a huge surprise for them!And the idiot that consigned it with this auctioneer did an entire case, so this store had like 5 more that were starting at $1 but the auction was in the middle of the night in most of the states. Another one sold for $3.50 and there were three others starting at $1 but the auctioneer was also asking for $20 (plus sales tax) to ship them out. I also won my Fantastic Four Spider-Man two pack auction at a better than MSRP price.
Looks like I missed Onslaught. Hopefully they'll get a second stock in at some point.
>>11810521>>11810520you don't need everything after the "? after the first set of numbers, that's just shit that is cookies related to you and doxes your IP, etc.also, pre-orders are all sold out
>>11810689That battle damaged Spidey is the least rare of the MtG sets. In fact, I ended up getting two when Target accidentally shipped me a second one after I bought mine for like $18 or something. I opened one of them, but I've been just hanging on to the second one until they eventually dry up in a few years and then when they're gone whatever remains will skyrocket in price. Pegwarmers tend to do that, they'll be plentiful and cheap for years until suddenly the stock disappears and drys up. Then on the aftermarket, they become overpriced because less people got them then normal, even if they were discounted. I've seen it happen so many times.
>>11810699I should be more bummed that I missed Onslaught, but the figure just has so little going for it that I might just feel apathy.
>>11810734It'll be readily available at release like every other retro carded X-Men release. Don't worry, you'll be fine.
It's time to snikt some bubs.>>11810817NTA, but hope you're right. Onslaught isn't essential to my collection, but I'd still like to have him.
is there a reason why Marvel Legends have varying types of packaging? the ones with cards supposed to be cheaper?
>>11810902Every other release in the Retro Carded X-Men stuff from Target has shelfwarmed to the point of discount. Only one who didn't actually hit discount was maybe Mystique, but she was was still pretty plentiful and easy to find, at least in my stores. Savage Land Charles, Weapon X, Outback Storm all binned at one point or another. Quite frankly I'm shocked Emma hasn't hit discount yet considering all three of my local stores have had at least four or five of her on the peg for the better part of two fucking months. The X-Men carded stuff isn't like Gamerverse where a store only gets 3 units. >>11810911It's just a packaging gimmick. Most of the carded packaging are emulating older style cards. The Secret Wars wave, Spider-Man TAS cards, retro Carded X-Men and Avengers are all based on retro figure lines. Same with the recent batch of Hulk figures they've been doing like the one in the OP. That's based off the old 2000s Hulk line.
Man those DC figures from Mattel are about the same size, same articulation as Legends and have similar paint/face designs....and at like half the cost.Some of the newer figures I saw went up to $29.99. Is Hasbro out of their fucking minds?
>>11810918>same articulation as legendsdefinitely not
>>11810918>same articulation as Legends nothey also have dogshit accessories
Told you guys Onslaught would sell out. Everyone knows the line is near its end with hasbro moving to Massachusetts so they are grabbing every rerelease they can before there are no more staff to design MLs
>>11810926So do most legends now. There are some good exceptions like Psylocke and ROBBAH REYES. At least the dc line has quantity if not quality.
>>11809928Mattel isn't charging more. They are selling Marvel Legends without ankle, bicep, and ab crunch and single elbows for half the cost of MLs. Clearly those extra poa are not half the cost of MLs. The math doesn't add up.
>>11810935>At least the dc line has quantity if not quality.it doesn't, it's a bunch of characters that anyone who cares about DC shit would already have multiples of, at a quality level very similar to the DC Universe Classics or whatever that from 15 years ago was called
>>11810944That was about accessories. Core dc has a lot of accessories
>>11810918theyre half the price because theyre not competing in the same market. this is for kids, granted it's impressive what kids are getting nowadays
>>11810929Shut the fuck up
>>11810948>a lot of accessoriesall of which look gaywhy would I want a tray of some happy meal tier shit for fucking superman instead of an alternate head where he looks angry and his eyes are glowing redand this line dies if their wonder woman isn't pretty enough
>>11810283>she has a recolor in-game that's bluer.That's way better.
>>11810699isn't that just magneto in a hulk buster suit?
>>11810996it's xavier beneath the armor
>>11810999but the color?
>>11811019it's xavier's mind and body combined with magneto's mental villainy, which xavier absorbed
Lmao it's actually embarrassing how you casuals buy these figures of characters you don't even know anything about. Read a comic. Or at least pretend you did after reading the wiki.
>>11810965Well thats just, like, your opinion, MAAN.
>>11810996It's also a mold made over a decade ago that still has ball hips. But hey. ML buyers can't be choosey, as this is the only line where they can get most characters due to a demonic institution called IP.
>>11810996It's Professor X in a Magneto sex doll that he created with his mind.
>>11810703I honestly don't care about stuff like that, I ended up with two Super7 The Iron Giants, one I got from someone here on /toys/ for the Secret Santa thing they do but actually the other things the anon got me were even better. I had already bought that from Amazon at half off so I turned around and sold the best (retro card) condition "new" on for full MSRP plus extra postage to cover the fees. But I will likely turn around and spend that money this winter on one of you for Secret Santa.I'm happy to have the toy, and happy to have the MTG Spidey. I'll also sell the MTG card so I'll even make some of the excess postage fees I got raped with back. I agree with you on pegwarmers. It's why I pretty much don't bother with pre-orders.
>>11811173How are people expected to sell these Marvel Legends MTG cards as far as packing? Its awkward because it feels like an envelope should be enough but I imagine some collectors getting angry over that
>>11810965>>11810948>>11810944>that anyone who cares about DC shit would already have multiples ofDude, I have fucking multiples of ONE particular fucking TOY. The only differences in a few of these is a paint color. Otherwise, they are physically identical. And I have fucking multiples of other Superman characters.And will buy this DC Core because it's got a better head and you all have proven it's a head that will swap onto Legends (and probably Joe's) so if nothing else it will make a great Clark Kent head.Mattel, in one easy, simple move, already beat the Toddfather's shitty side-eyes and other crappy face sculpts, especially all the female characters anons on this board called 'trannies' without a single /pol post to their credit, that Todd's face sculpts became a meme: https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigures/comments/12rzteg/i_feel_like_supermans_face_sculpt_is_now_just_a/That all said, I do agree I would like an alternate head - but we don't ever get those with kids lines. Mattel doesn't do it for the MOTU kids line, Hasbro doesn't do it for their kids line, is there even a kids line for Joe's or Power Rangers? So why Mattel be forced to do shit like a laser eye alternate head for a $12 toy? I agree Diana needs to be attractive. Jazz Pacific managed it for their Sonic line-up.
>>11811184it being a kids line, and never to exceed the low expectations of such, means it can't and won't be the DC equivalent of Marvel LegendsAnd that low bar holds true, the next wave will be Lex Luthor, Two-Face, and then Guy Gardner and Arctic Assault Batman and Black Costume Superman, and it'll be over before this line could ever achieve anything interestingI said it in the last thread, if they're the first DC toy line to ever make an above average Supergirl, I will buy that and then feel compelled to buy a few more and more down the line and then eventually I'll have 30 figuresBut there's been an objectively hilarious amount of 6 inch (or roughly around that size) DC action figure lines that begun and fallen over the past 20 years and no one will be shocked if this line ends within the next 5 years
>>11811178You just put the card in a plastic top loader. Throw that in an envelope and you're fine. I've gotten plenty of cards in the mail that way. Alternatively you can also tape the top loader in between two pieces of cardboard for extra protection.
Thank you to everyone that liked my brand new day hulk review <3
>>11811178>some collectors getting angry over thatCollectors get angry over bubble sleeves for plastic action figures so of course someone will get angry about how you ship them their trading cards. I've bought and sold comic books so I have dealt with these people and it's not rocket science:Target sells these plastic sleeve protectors for cards - where the sports/poke and, probably MTG cards are stocked. Some are pretty flimsy and not much better than slipping a piece of cardboard into a sandwich baggie, but some are very thick and feel very firm. I have a few of those and will also, like >>11811401 place the cellophane sealed spidey MTG card between two pieces of heavy card stocks, inside ONE of PICREL and charge MEDIA mail postage (like $5 cross-country).Finally, will likely add if buyers want to receive it in a small box protected by bubble wrap, to simply advise and I will invoice them for the extra postage fee (probably another $3-5 depending on where they are). And probably send in a reused small BluRay box from Amazon with bubble wrap and packing peanuts. USPS charges a "package" premium whether it's first class or ground postage, once anything shipped through them is more than a certain thickness - I think it's 1.5" or 1.75" before they consider it a "package" and it doesn't matter if you are using a plastic or tyvek envelope - those get charged as "packages" once they hit that thickness.
I love Bloodpouch.
>>11811554Did you really need to type three paragraphs just to tell the guy to get some top loaders? This is the written version of liking to hear the sound of your own voice.
>>11811184Nobody cares
of all the things to bootleg in ML, why do changs always bootleg spiderman? Why not bootleg something worthwhile that's actually annoying to buy like figure being held hostage by shitty 2 packs?

>>11811554Thanks that was very helpful
>>11810929You mean, you were able to predict that a Target exclusive, which has historically sold out pre-orders for exclusives in the past, sold out? Holy fucking shit anon. You must be a prophet. Next thing you'll tell me is that the sky is blue and water is wet. How do you do it?
OMEGA DESTROYER!
>>11810929This is also why maximum series exists
>>11811764They're probably just going off of the really surface level logic of what the Big Name is, and assume that the best bet is whatever seems popular at the time. They see Spidey has a million figures at any given point and assume that's the ticket, instead of knowing there's some niche characters they could probably make some bank off of them being in multi-pack/out-of-print jail. Also, characters with exposed faces might be harder for the lower-end bootleggers to make passable in some cases.
>>11811178>How are people expected to sell these Marvel Legends MTG cards as far as packing?ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS assume your package will be handled by the angriest, most disgruntled postal worker ever who will do everthing they can get away with to damage your product. I've had 8x10 autographs in sturdy mailers marked "do not bend" (and the pics were taped to 8x10 plastic top loaders!) intentionally bent in half and shoved in my mail box.For cards, the hard plastic top loaders (not the thin ones like a comic bag thinness) are a good start, extra cardboard for higher value cards.
>>11811764>why do changs always bootleg spiderman?I'll take pity on you and walk you through this, but next time, take 2 fucking seconds to think it through before posting next time. Bootleggers do NOT sell bootlegs exclusively to the US market, dumbass. Spidey is universally recognized in every single country they do business in. Yes, WHY bootleg something that is so heavily recognized and practically guaranteed to sell and earn money on, indeed? Fuuuuuckk you're stupid.
>>11812020spidey is dirt cheap retard theres literally no point in bootlegging spidey because everyone CAN AFFORD IT RETARD
By a pure miracle, my local Walmart FINALLY got in new Marvel Legends figures at long last. Secret Wars wave two (they never got wave one in and I had to pay rape dollar price on eBay for them).They had sold out of Daredevil and Black slime dipped spiderman but still had Falcon, Constrictor, Absorbing Man, and Magik.Picked Absorbing Man. Wish we could have gotten a real chain for the bal and chain, but I'm glad to finally have an Absorbing Man that doesn't cost me and arm and a leg or requires me buying a ton of figures I don't want for a BAF version of him.
>>11812511>they never got wave one in and I had to pay rape dollar price on eBay for themWhy not just order them from a store when they were available? Unless you're new to collecting Legends.
>>11812517I was out of work when they came out and by the time I got a new job and had the disposable income, the bulk of them were $40-50 bucks plus shipping. Ironically the only one I was able to find for retail via Amazon of all places, was Titania and she was the one I wanted the most and feared would end up reaching Power Princess three digit rape dollar prices.
>>11812520power princess only got scalped because she's the best wonder woman figure ever made, so the DC people got involved
>>11812520To be honest, you have yourself to blame for that. Titania aside, the only figures from wave one worth buying were Black costume Spidey (finally done right) and Brown costume wolverine and even that was flawed as fuck given how light the colors are on the costume.Both Cap and Iron Man had better figures and I don't think ANYONE bought Beyonder.
>>11812525Real comic fans bought Beyonder.
>>11812567NTA, but comics Beyonder sucks. I'd buy an ML of this Beyonder though.
>>11812567I'm gonna buy him pretty soon because I want to put his head on an upcoming Cobra ViperI'll also eventually get miles morales' uncle in the iron spider outfit for the same reason, but that figure sold pretty well so I'll try to buy the head loose
>>11812571no idea how Beyonder made it into a spiderman cartoon. He is way out of Spidey's league
>>11812587Avi Arad
>>11812571They could do this pretty easily with a few mods to the Pretty Boy figure.
>>11812520Titania still pops up at Ross. I've seen her (rarely) on clearance at Target but that's for $12.99, when she's $7.99 at many Ross locations.
I hereby proclaim this the Summer of Scott.

>>11812845I'm so sick of accessory sprus. How did we end up going back to this lazy ass shit?
>>11812845So this is how we learn the design of MCU Doom. Through a low res soft sculpted kids toy. How silly. This world is a living contradiction.
>>11813050We'd seen images leaked beforehand
>>11813042Its cheaper and we are living in the time of decline
>>11813051leaked 240p artifacted imagessame basic thing
I can't believe $20 is considered a deep sale for a Marvel Legend now
>>11813078And I can't believe a pound of ground beef costs $8 now. Or that gas is $5 a gallon. Stop acting like this exclusive to Hasbro or even toys. I'm so sick of it.
>>11813082fucking this
>>11813082>And I can't believe a pound of ground beef costs $8 now.This is insane to me. Just a few months ago, I was able to get three pounds for around $13. Now that same "deal" is up to $21.
>>11813109Isn't it funny how fast the system moves to benefit them, but takes decades for anything to benefit us?
>>11813109What's funny is, boomers will criticize you for eating out or buying fucking lunch, I'm looking at you Kevin O'Leary, you piece of shit, because it's so expensive, well, now it costs almost just as much to fucking make my own lunch, what the fuck do you want me to do? Just stop eating? It really feels like they're just trying to price us out of eating at this point.
>>11813112Shut up retard, this "us vs them" mentality does nothing.
>>11813011No, (You) shut up.
>>11813132you're trying too hard anon
Hasbro now stooping to using AI generated humans in their toy promo pics. Look at his left incisor and his right eye.
>>11813117You're part of the problem.
I'm the real marvel OP. And I am a jeet who loves to shit on the streets.
>>11813259Still trying too hard
>>11813234nice selfie
>>11813295I have sex with men so ya know
>>11813249Ngl OP does look like an unemployed, terminally online jeet
>>11812587Because Secret Wars is one of the most famous Spider-man comics of all time. You monumental retard.
>>11813591That's not whySecret Wars was created to be the grand finale of the entire Fox marvel cartoon line (as Silver Surfer, Avengers, and Spiderman Unlimited were going to be stand alone shows with no ties to previous shows).It was supposed to have the full X-Men team in it too but budget cuts plus logistics limited them to being only being able to use Storm (and mainly because her VA lived in Los Angeles, where the show was being recorded, as Fox refused to pay air fair for the rest of the cast, who lived in Canada and on the East Coast)
>>11813588I haven't even been home for half the day, I just got back from seeing the MOTU movie and now I'm playin some more Wolverine Origins. Forgot how good this game is. It's kinda funny to see people complain about the new one essentially having nuGod of War style gameplay when this game is basically old style God of War but with Wolverine.
>>11812850>>11812845Doom looks like ass
>>11812850>>11812845Are we really not using Doom's tunic?

>>11813760They arent tacticool enough for the MCU
>>11812845marvel legends bringing the heat!
>>11812850>>11812845The chances of me buying an MCU Dr Doom dropped if that design is anything like what the ML would look like. The design is very....weird
>>11813050Honestly not shocking, leak culture is too intense and movie spoilers coming out in the least flattering way possible has been happening for years. MechaGodzilla's modern incarnation was absolutely revealed through bad pictures of a really bad toy. I think the design of the Megazord was too. Also while not a toy, Jared Leto Joker was revealed through really bad set photo leaks.Now while some of those examples probably deserved to get dragged through the mud, it did have me think that I should maybe generally temper my first impressions for things and wait to see them in motion/whatever format they're really going to debut in.
>>11813718nugod of war gameplay is ass it's not that hard to see why there are complaintsnuwolverine is literally going to have you following smelly green scent trails while the voice actor sniffs in your ear and grunts

anyone wanna try this swap and be the canary in the coal mine?
You know those suited bodies with the tie and open jacket? Can you modify those to close the jacket (maybe with some heat)? I want that body except with the jacket buttoned.
>>11814106There's not enough plastic.

>MOGS hasbro
>>11814335lol, lmao even. This whole comparing Blokees to Hasbro thing is so weird and just doesn't work due to the stylized nature of Blokees. You're trying to force this now between the Stormtrooper thread and now this. I said it in that thread, you don't argue in good faith.

>>11814352Yoooooo nice

>>11814354Yeah, I scrolling down my subscription page and saw it and checked the thread and no one had mentioned it yet
>>11814358so is this a tease for a figure or a tease for the movie? we're actually getting Mary Jane in the movie?
>>11814361I just checked Dan's Twitter and it wasn't a stream, just a random YouTube upload. Fucking wtrange, it was a whole fucking fan stream, no announcement, no nothing. So fucking weird. anyway, I'm in for Beast, Cipher, Cavillrine, Goblin, and classic Boomer.
>>11814351We are getting another Dafoe head
>>11814350>plastic capecmon man….
>>11814352Is Scorpion really not pinless? He seems pinless in the box but not the promo pics.
>>11814364Why would they tease a movie on a stream about figures, dummy?
>>11814364I doubt it. It could be a new comic MJ since the only regular one we've gotten was in that old TRU two pack from way back when. We've gotten her head with Gwen and then her Spinnertte look from RYV, and when she dressed up in Pete's old Iron Spider costume during the Slott run, but not just a regular MJ, not for a long time anyway.Also they're reissuing the NWH Final Swing suit with a new alt head.

alt head I don't watch this gay cartoon but I assume the backpack matters
>>11814392I just hope they don't rerelease the Warlock BAF with any of the other kids in this suit. Card art shows Sam as a future release, need Dani, Amara and Rahne.Also, how is it you guys didn't pick up on the BOMMERang spelling error?
>>11814399You're a gay cartoon.
>>11814349Terrible leg cut outs

>>11814408Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of it tbqh, I'm hoping the blues at least are close enough to the old one that I can just headswap if I really don't like it.
>>11814384>>11814382They picked some of the lamest designs for these Scorpion and Boomerang figures, holy shit
>>11814407>the sperg constancy getting mad he doesn't get to post reveal images doesn't even know who fucking Cypher is.first of all, ESLsecondly I only did this because the video had been up for nearly ten minutes and there was nothing in the threadI don't normally do this
>>11814408Yeah, money saved, not buying this at any price, don't need him taking up space.I'm still fucking pissed we never got our Blue Perez head Beast. They had it in grey for the grey version. Fuckers.
>>11814365They're probably cutting costs. Videos are easier to do than actual livestreams where they need more tech staff on hand to make sure things go smoothly.
>>11814356fucking finally the gangs all here
>>11814415We found out last year that the "livestreams" are pre-recorded and broadcasted "live" for whatever reason. The only real difference between this and the way they normally do it is you can skip around in the video as opposed to having to sit through the whole thing.
>>11814384Did they really let the misspelling Marvel's BOMMERANG slide on actual packaging? Was this package design totally made by AI? Did any human verification take place before the design was produced?
>>11814420They've made typos on the box before. I don't blame this on AI, I blame this on stupidity and laziness.
thank god they recognize goblin is the best raimi villain and gave us an accurate version of him before doc fag and sandfag
>>11814422I wonder if they'll be able to fix it in time for release. Probably not given they have one box in hand here
>>11814399>no lab coat>no books>no flasks>no glassesFuuuuck. I regret selling my retro carded Beast. Hopefully it gets a reissue. I hate the inconsistency of the 97 line. Some figs use existing molds with defined cut muscle tone like Wolverine, Cyclops, Rogue. And then we get shit like this, Morph, and even Cable. Even the animation has more fur texture than this shit >>11814405.
>>11814399That's...some pose for him they've got there.
Thank you for saving me money, Hasbro. I do not have to buy any of these reveals.
>>11814429that is animated series beast, this is 97 beast. He is smooth as a baby’s ass in 97. I really can’t fault Hasbro for making the toy look like the source material for once, it’s what they should actually strive to do, the source material just sucks.
>>11814428This is such a weird choice in generalThe upcoming movie version looks like the modern Boomerang from the comics, they should've just done thatI foresee this being the first walmart exclusive i na while that doesn't immediately sell out
>>11814437The last Walmart exclusive Spider-Man, the Hellfire Gala one, didn't sell out. It even got discounted to like $15 or something.
>>11814438Oh, sure, I forgot that existedBut still, even for people who'd want comic boomerang, they'd just want an update of the one from 15 years ago
>>11814440You're not wrong, I would've preferred the modern look myself as well, but at the same time, i don't hate the classic look either.
>>11814374Finally, I can put this figure for sale.All I need is actual Sandman, Venom and New Goblin
>>11814436Well, hoping Hasbro does a Hasbro and make an X-Men '92 line. Because this was what I wanted.
>>11814455I think they will definitely reuse the old beast body again at some point, but I’m skeptical of them ever bothering to update his limbs
>>11814358 Millie Collins?
>>11814351Boot swivel on a movie figure? I will now buy your product hasblo.
Is beast the first time Hasbro has ever angered people by not reusing a mold rather than reusing one?
>>11814465aside from the uggo ass design, that was the biggest flaw of the NWH version
>>11814408>wait 34 years for a good animated series Beast figure>had the perfect beast body already, just needed the animated design headThe old body was inaccurate to the animated series.
>>11814420Maybe they let the packaging quality control person go during the last wave of firings. On the Transformers side of things the Studio Series 86 Soundwave box still has the YouTube play text pop-up from where they took a screenshot on YouTube for the photo.
>>11814514that's very funnythere's an extension I use that just adds a screenshot button to the youtube controls
I did remember dan said they were gonna reveal something around game 3 of the nba finals, i just never thought it'd be via a livestream lol
>>11814350>>11814380I hope the money they saved on this leads to a sick ass Ghost and/or Lady TaskmasterThose designs were solid
>NBA FinalsIT'S MAHVEL BAYBEE
>>11814511a lot of comic figures add details that arent in the comics too
>>11814356someone blew his hair SMOOV off
>>11814367yeah im gonna want this unfortunately
>>11814511If they had atleast put some effort into sculpting more sembelance of fur, I'd had no problem with the 97 fig. At least Mondo attempted it while still making it mostly smooth. Sure we wouldn't get cel shading. but more tufts of fur on the legs arms, simple lines to imply fur like the biceps here.>>11814511
>>11814428Why does a character like fucking boomerang get an action head and a default head but Daredevil doesn't?
>>11814601because they know they can bilk daredevil heads (like myself) into buying a figure that's 90% the same as the last one but since it has an alt head with a different expression I'll be compelled to buy it and display it with the different expressionmeanwhile this is only the second figure of boomerang released in 15 years, maybe there will be an MCU version later this year or next year, but they can't double dip on some fruity 70s costume of a c-list villain
>>11814599Sadly there is no way Hasbro is putting as much effort into deco as Mondo.
>>11814379>Doesn't have the Victor head, thoughBut it does have the guns and shield the original 80s figure had.>>11814381Believe it or not, Scorpion didn't have a stinger on his tail until the late 80s, it was just a like a blunt implement for clubbing or entangling opponents before then.>>11814410Boomerang doesn't really have a lot of different designs to choose from, they've already one his modern look. This was probably the one he wore the longest, and it's the one from when he was in the Sinister Syndicate and the Deadly Foes of Spider-Man mini.Scorpion does have a few other costumes that haven't been made yet, but this is his original look, which I don't think has ever been done before.
The reveals this time were really below average. I can see why this reveal was shadow dropped.
>>11814675>This was probably the one he wore the longest, and it's the one from when he was in the Sinister Syndicate and the Deadly Foes of Spider-Man mini.No, that's black and white one.
>>11814355is it just me or is his face completely fucked looking? Like it doesn't look like 80s Cypher or Krakoa Cypher at all.
>>11814693I don't knowI just know me and everyone else would rather have a new Dani Moonstar
>>11814698When I do an image search for Dani Moonstar, I get a huge amount of rule34 and no normal comic art, but if I search for say Magik, or Storm, etc. I get normal comic art. Is there something about this character we should know?
>>11814706That doesn't happen for me.
>>11814711If I search for Danielle Moonstar its all normal. Very odd.Anyway I guess people want an update on this older body to a new one. I feel like for characters in similar outfits though, packing them up so you get 3 characters for 1 is a cool idea and lets them get more characters out faster. But I notice they dont really do that anymore.
>>11814727that figure is also from like 2016, the faces and the body are obsolete
>>11814751I like the faces except for the Wolfsbane face. If someone likes it, it's never obsolete for them. There are people who still display Toybiz figures.
>>11814751her colors also don't match the members of her team because hasbro loves inconsistency
what kind of psycopath wants a scorpion figure that doesnt even have a stinger
>>11814698I was gonna quip that when they do her again it will be in her MLF heel-turn look, but that costume showed more skin than Goblin Queen's, so there's no way in hell it'll happen, lol.
>>11808248why would anyone buy that guy?
>>11814798>I like the faces except for the Wolfsbane face. If someone likes it, it's never obsolete for them. There are people who still display Toybiz figures.there's no one who displays toybiz females, except maybe a handful of contrarians and likewise there's no significant amount of people who continue displaying a mid-2010s walleyed female ML after a better version came out, unless they've swapped the new head onto the older body or something because it has bigger tits
I know the beast is based on the cartoon look, but he looks so naked without the fur lolAnd why does scorpion have a penis as his tail?
A yo wtf
>>11814524agreethey made girl taskmaster actually look cool and not retarded like the black widow movie, but then killed her 2 minutes after she showed upI don't even get why they killed her, the movie is on the lower end of MCU runtimes and according to Olga Kurylenko there were edits where died much later in a different way or somethingMaybe they thought they needed more time to focus on the others, but they didn't give ghost shit to do either and they only had yelena acknowledge that yet another "sister" of hers just died for 5 seconds
>>11814677>No, that's black and white one.He didn't get that one until a Thunderbolts run in the 2010s, the one this figure is of lasted over 20 years.>>11814809Someone who wants the original Steve Ditko design for the Scorpion I guess?
>>11814866shouldn’t task master be like impossible to kill?
>>11814896taskmaster is just a normal person generallya bullet to the head would work
>>11814834for her pleasure
>>11814828What about "if someone likes it, it's never obsolete for them" do you not understand? I never claimed a certain base amount of people still displayed X or Y, only that some still did, myself among them. I still have mid 2010s legends on display.
>>11814984>What about "if someone likes it, it's never obsolete for them" do you not understand? IProbably because I'm not a woman, so when someone points out that there are tall asian men in existence, it doesn't cause my brain to immediately invalidate the knowledge of so many of them being short that statistically the tall ones don't even matter and it's still factual to consider them a shorter race of people
>>11814997You posited that when you called it obsolete. I merely responded it doesn't matter to those of us who still like an older figure if 'most' people no longer like the figure.
>>11815001I'd call laptop from 2016 obsolete no matter how many people still had the model and were getting good use out of itAnd I wouldn't be incorrect in doing so
>>11815010Think about what it says about you that you would call toys obsolete. Are they mere tools to you like a laptop or a phone? Do you have no emotional connection to toys at all? Are you empty inside?
>>11815031No, but in the instance of Marvel Legends, just for example, there have been various better Daredevil figures than ones released 10 years ago, rendering those older ones obsolete in several different ways.You can play pie in the sky all you want, and cherry pick counter examples, but this particular series of toys is filled with dozens and dozens of flat upgrades that invalidate previous versions of a specific character in a specific costume.
>>11814599mondo are for suckersI don't care if 97 beast doesn't have any painted details because that's what the cartoon version looked like and the cartoon-only retards want that so there.
>>11814751lol
>>11815010I still have my previous PC that I built in 2016 and while no, it can't play modern titles with Ray Tracing and DLSS and all that bullshit, it is still more than capable of playing lesser demanding titles as well as older titles. Is it obsolete? I guess, if you're only using it for modern slop. However, it's a great emulation box for couch gaming.
>>11814349Hasbro marketing team really pushing that fans will buy anything strategery.
>>11815037okay, champ.
>>11814599It's not the lack of fur that bothers me, it's the wtf are these muscle structure? What is going on with those abs?
>>11815070so you agree with me
>>11815084explain why the 2024 2-pack Iron Fist doesn't make previous Iron Fist figures obsolete
>>11815101Not him and I literally don't know about that figure's deco, articulation, etc. or the previous ones, but purely because you have to pay the 2 pack tax to get it. That alone is a reason someone can skip it and keep their old Iron Fist.
>>11815088Why does he come with a futuristic Jetsons style washing machine?
>>11815108well it's a good thing it comes with a luke cage that's better than the last luke cage, too, thus making the 2-pack tax irrelevant
>all these casuals that don't know characters and accessories, not even just from the comics, but from the cartoons.>these are the same spergs that complain about the price of Marvel Legends and get jealous of others who buy them.You all are so fucking embarrassing. Holy shit.
>>11815138if you're still mad I don't know who Cypher is, I don't give a fuck, and you're gay for still crying about it
>>11815133It's irrelevant only if you want Luke Cage.
>>11815140yes, of the 200 people that care about iron fist, you can zero in on the 20 that don't also care about luke cagebut that wouldn't be a great point, and it's already been a digression to quibble over the price
>>11815141While I don't care about either character in the specific case you brought up, I have never had a ML two pack where I wanted both characters besides maybe Psylocke/Thanos and I could've done without Thanos. So I encounter 2 pack taxes very frequently. It's not as rare as you make it seem.
>>11815147It being rare, nor the price, nor the presence of an unwanted additional figure has nothing to do with the quality of a specific v. an older oneyou should've outgrown pedantry like this, but I can feel that your very soul rejects the notion of blanket statements, and you're in a gutter arguing that you personally preferring to pay less for something worse is an argumentbut it's notthe pinless iron fist is better, objectively
>>11815149Price is always a factor in whether to buy a figure unless you're filthy rich to the point of these figure prices being nothing to you. You can confirm this by looking at extreme cases where figure prices are theoretically unreasonably high. At some point you would keep your old Iron Fist over the new "better" one. Maybe at $300, or $700, maybe at $2000, but there is some price out there where you would not buy the "upgrade".For some of us these prices are much lower. Like if I had the old Enchantress, I certainly would not have bought the new one for $28. I don't care if it's pinless, it isn't worth it.
>>11815149Pinless does have disadvantages over pinned. One is that it is far harder to repair once the joint gets loose. Generally most things in life have some trade offs, even when they are marketed as straight upgrades.
>>11815101Okay. His outfit always closed in a "V" at the chest, and they sculpted it wrong. It was just yet another sloppy fucking hack job by Hasbro. And please, don't bother being a contrarian faggot trying to show me pics from modern slop comics. It was a "V" for the entire classic run of Power Man & Iron Fist.
>>11815179Why are you so mad
>>11815031
>>11815139I wish I didn't know who Cypher was, he was so lame and unpopular they killed him, then brought him back 20 years later and made him so tryhard and edgy like please take him seriously, it was embarrasing. Then they did a whole retarded event about him last year.
Apparently pre orders for Breast go up on Aug 18th.
>>11815376It's funny hasbro was able to trick target into paying for Cypher as an exclusive. That figure is going to pegwarm longer than outback charles....if the compulsive team completers don't buy him despite hating his character
>>11814356>>11814399Finally, I can rid myself of my demonic Marvel Select Beast and my 97 X-men will be compl->>11815494>Over two months before the PRE-ORDER
>>11815533Yeah, there's no way to really sugar-coat it. Is there even a New Mutant popular enough to carry a hostage pack with him in it?
>>11815555Yeah wtf are they doing?
>>11815570Only Magik, and they've already done her specific costume that would've been popular enough to help sell this deadweight.
>>11815494It'd be fun if Hasbro typoed the name on the box for Beast to say Marvel's Breast like they typoed Boomerang, got Marvel Legends kicked out of the toy aisle at Walmart and Target and there was a huge scandal about it. But too late, we already saw it was normal on the stream.
>>11815555How will your shelf survive without a beast for over 4 MONTHS?!I feel like people are going to regret letting go of their lab coat beast. That seems like the best version Hasbro will ever make.
>>11815631Yup.>>11814380I'll grab the JL-D heads to slap on the Nottaa buck for the lulz

>>11815555I was wondering if I could swap the heads onto the retro carded beast but then I realized I didn't even like those very much either.There are some really nice unpainted heads on eBay but fuck that too
