Bullshit.

Yuck
>>5631359
Well shit... it does say Demolition Man on the box. Way to fuck up, Hasbro.
no new 1/18 Bucky?
>>5631388
She's from one of Hasbro's TRU-exclusive twin packs that were released 2009.
Reposting Ghost Rider because he's an awesome figure
>>5631087
>most powerful omega-tier mutant in the entire universe
>pose her like she just summoned her Yugioh trap card
>>5631358
I think it's dumb that Angela won but I'm glad Black Suit Spider-Man didn't. With them just releasing their new default Spider-Man body recently a black suit figure is inevitable. It would be a waste of a fan poll.
>>5631088
Can't wait for her, i always loved her look.
Anybody have the huge toybiz spiderman? I hear it can have some pretty bad joint issues.
how is the quality of this set?
>>5631468
They really need to kick out a Spirit of Vengeance every 2 to 3 waves.
>>5631534
As in character selection, or the quality of the toys themselves? Former is meh, latter is meeeeeh.
>>5631554
I wouldn't complain at all. And make his bike the build a fig.
>>5631068
The thread over at fwoosh says the xmen wave baf is going to be juggernaut? So which is it? Just curious
>>5631638
We don't know, it hasn't been revealed yet.
Is there any good Fantastic Four figures? I love them but they dont really get any toys because of their lack of movies, I feel. Any of you guys know of anything?
>MCU Spidey never
>>5631692
>a spider-man design
>not getting a figure
Maybe on Bizarro world. We'll have at the very least a Marvel Legend within the year, surely.
>>5631569
here's your spirit build a fig.
>>5631710
Sony are being cunts.
>>5631715
Pretty sure Sony doesn't have any say when it comes to merch.
>>5631717
then why did Amazing Spiderman 2 have such terrible toys?
>>5631717
Then why isn't there any?
>>5631741
Because they only revealed the design recently and were trying to keep it a surprise?
>>5631392
This is the true Demolition Man of Marvel
that is Scourge
>>5631800
I feel so bad for this guy
>>5631800
That Scourge is Demolition Man. Just in a different costume.
It's dumb that they put Demolition Man on the box instead, when he's going by Scourge in that costume. But they're the same character.
So wait this X-Men wave is Rogue, Phoenix, Havok, Kitty, Cable, Deadpool, and Iceman, right?
Who's the BAF?
>>5631812
I'll only say this one more time. That's not Demolition Man. Pic related is Demolition Man.
>>5631816
Rumor is Juggernaut or Apocalypse. More people will tell you Juggernaut, but there's been no official word yet. My money's still on Sauron.
>>5631816
And, there's supposed to be an iteration of Wolverine in that wave too, but again, no official word.
>>5631819
>Apocalypse BAF
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!
Will there be a SH figuarts of Bucky?
Having hope since that poster release of the more to come civil war figures,
>>5631533
Had a used one, sold it in BST.
Most of the joints were pretty solid with the exception of a couple of fingers being slightly floppy and the cranial neck joint being EXTREMELY floppy. It was also oddly weighted--kind of heavy in the legs and the upper torse. Made posing awkward. Otherwise, great toy.
>>5631301
Demolition man got brainwashed then turned into scourge, I think
>>5631558
Really?
>>5631824
Don't get too excited. It's most likely going to the onslaught body with new parts added
>>5631533
I just got one of these.
>>5632047
Nice. How much was it
>>5631720
It had one of the best spider man marvel legends. Or at least the mold that would be one of the best.
>>5632100
It was arguably the best at the time, it was between that and McFarlane Spidey. Now with Pizza Spidey and the upcoming Ultimate Spidey it's useless.
Hey /toy/ what's the best Marvel Legends comic Ultron?
I don't mean the movie version since I already got the Revoltech. Also I already got the Marvel Select, but I want a comic Ultron that's a little smaller to troll my Japanese figures. I know there's the Target exclusive based on the Age of Ultron comic covers, but I also one from an Iron Man 3 series, and how it was repainted a couple of times for different releases. What's the best one out there?
>>5631358
>voting for black suit Spidey a variant that will get released eventually anyways instead of a character that has little to no chance of getting a release
>>5631301
>doesn't know that D-Man became the new Scourge
Do you even Marvel stupid tripfag?
got this guy for free today. yay or nah?
Why do they have to show us these figures SOOOOOOO far in advance.
I get you gotta market them, but C'MON
This punisher can't come soon enough.
although I do hate the fact that his straps are brown, and that his hands don't have trigger fingers?
What the hell hasbro? He better have more hands.
Still can't wait though
Soooo... will Hasbro ever release this Antman but with a classic Hank Pym paint job?
Maybe with the buck cap body too?
That would be MUCH appreciated.
>>5631067
i want to buy an iron man hot toy
>yes
>no
>literally retarded
wich one /toy/?
>>5632301
I'm still 100% convinced that they only made him so they could get a guaranteed double dip when they inevitably put out the pym version. Oddly enough I've seen a couple straight repaints into the classic colors and it didn't look as good as black ant.
>>5632297
Even if that's all he comes with, I've just done the cut-out-the-index-finger method on a couple legends so far and it works fine.
So with Civil War coming out in a lot of places tommorow, will there be some spidey toys announced/put up for pre-order? I saw a post by Funko saying they're definitely doing a POP of him, so I figure that will be up pretty soon.
Who knows maybe it's even ready for immediate release like next week.
>>5632297
>Daredevil has trigger hands
>Punisher doesn't
The decision making process at Hasbro must be incredibly complicated
>>5632301
I want a modern comic Scott Lang, personally.
>>5632337
They throw darts at a spinning board to see which figures should get extra hands, which should have regular open hands, and which should get trigger fingers and how many.
For Spider-Women it's a coin toss to see if they should come with one thwip hand and one fist or two thwip hands.
>>5632143
>Hey /toy/ what's the best Marvel Legends comic Ultron?
Anyone?
>>5632288
yayy. thinking about getting one for the iron man collection
>>5632462
Target three pack imo. I'm not a big fan of the very simply paintjob on the IM3 one. Plus mine's waist swivel is pretty loose and his articulation doesn't feel quite as good, though I haven't handled him in a while. I love the painted dots in the target version's mouth and I overall really like his look except for maybe the beetle feet.
>>5632462
Bypass the legends ones and get the Marvel Select Ultron. Best comic representation in my opinion. Just as much, if not more, articulation than the legends version too. Great scale as well.
http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Select-Marvel-Ultron-Action/dp/B007KZ73DA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461731828&sr=8-1&keywords=marvel+select+ultron
He's cheap, too!
>>5631533
I love mine...grabbed it on eBay for sixty freedom coupons. One elbow is super tight the rest is super. One of my favorite toys. He looks great with my quarter s scale barman.
>>5631534
Is that a wave of MCU repacks? Neat idea, but when did this happen?
>>5632309
Yeah if you're a huge fan
Dicast is a plus too
>>5631933
>>5632186
Yeah, further research shows he was brainwashed by Henry Peter Gyrich in Captain America v6. Personally had no idea cause I never even checked out that volume of Cap. Even if was written by Ed Brubaker, I don't think anyone did, cuz it was canceled after 19 issues & Brubaker moved on to personally projects.
>>5631712
What Ghost Rider title/run was this from specifically? I feel like I finally wanna read this after seeing the image of this dinosaur rider for so long.
>>5632297
Ugh. I was a little leery of paying the big bucks for Mezco's Frank, but seeing as this is my current alternative...well, I hate enough things about this figure to admit that maybe it's time to shell out more money for a product I can actually be happy with.
>>5633106

That's fine. I'm already pleased as punch with the select Jugs, I don't need another one.
Unless it's Juggolossus. Oh snap.
>>5633207
Go to dorkside, just type in "marvel legends."
Spider-gwen's up top.
>>5633996
More than likely with the Pledge Future or clearcoat nailpolish fixes I've heard of.
>>5633996
What anon said just slab some Pledge on it and its perfect.
Its probably one of the best Spiderman toys ever created.
>>5632502
Is the Vision from that pack any good. I know it's just a foggy white Bucky Cap, but is it even worth it?

No.
>>5635476
Not really, seeing as though I've had that figure since March 20th
>>5631534
That Loki is going to be a pain in the ass to get.
Yeah it's a repack but I feel like the line has become more popular since then and everyone else has had several releases.
>>5635891
>That Loki is going to be a pain in the ass to get.
Literally zero mass retail Legends in the past 2 years have been hard to get. Zero. None.
>>5635925
Spider-Gwen?
>>5635927
30 dlls on amazon right now / free shipping
"ooooh how difficult"
>>5635927
No, Gwen's very easy to find now. I'm not saying that there isn't a brief period where supply is greater than demand, but every last ML for the last 2 years could be had for retail very easily after the initial buying rush. Strictly speaking for the USA market though, obviously.
>>5635968
>supply is greater than demand
Wait, fuck, I got that backwards. Whoops, I'm stupid.
>>5635925
Only mass retail wave since relaunch I never saw was the Rocket Raccoon wave. Never saw any of em on the pegs, or fully at sites like Amazon. Maybe a stray Scarlet Spider, but that's it.
>>5635980
You're spot on, that's why I made sure to say 2 years instead of 3 as it was a 2013 wave. That was a ridiculous wave, I remember people posting when Jean would go up on HTS and then 8 seconds later there'd be someone bemoaning that it was already gone.
>>5635953
> Supporting Scalpers
> Ever
You are part of the problem.
>>5636018
The whole wave was up for a long time on HTS at one point. I bought a few for like half price or something.
>>5636057
I don't recall Jean or BP lasting long ever, but maybe my memory is fuzzy. I'll take your word for it.
>>5635925
Spidergwen and Winter Soldier Black Widow were really hard to find at retail actually.
>>5636071
I bought BP after checking the site over a week waiting for a better deal. It never went out of stock during that week. Same with the rest of the wave.
If it makes you feel any better, this was a pretty good amount of time after the wave hit. I assume a few cases turned up or got returned and we're thrown up on the site long after anyone thought to look there.
>>5636149
>Winter Soldier Black Widow
For a short period. BW got double packed with WS in a second run of the wave, she was everywhere at retail. The ones that really got the shaft were the AIM and Hydra soldiers, which were dropped in the second run.
As for Gwen, the momentum is gone. You could get her right now for retail costs online, the pegs will follow suit as always.
>>5635476
FUCK
Are there even any figurines/statues of Ultron in his final form out there?
>>5636231
Fuck, I forgot how much I wish that the figuarts or revo at least came with an alternate head. I really liked that final look. Face looked a lot more like Ultron should.
>>5636231
He looks like a hollow bitch, looked better when it was melted down to slag by Vision, Thor, and Iron Man's UNIBEAM
>>5636210
UK wave
>>5636579
Damn.
>>5636231
There's a few. There's the Minimates, Lego, Hero Remix Bobblehead, and finally, the 1/9th scale diecast figure by King Arts, which is basically Ultron Prime with add-on pieces to turn him into Ultimate Ultron.
>>5635925
Speak for yourself. There are 2-3 figures in every wave that I never see in stores. If I want them bad enough I just buy them loose off eBay. It sounds like your area is a good one for toy shopping.
>>5636766
That looks fucking ridiculous.
>>5636782
it's basically just the regular ultron with vibranium armor strapped on top.
>>5636767
Just because they're hard for you personally to find doesn't mean that they're "hard to get." They are mass produced children's toys sold in giant retail chains across the planet. If you can't find something made in such high quantities, it's your own fault for not trying.
>>5636766
I can't even tell if this is meant to be stylised or a replica of the movie design.
>>5636793
>If you can't find something made in such high quantities, it's your own fault for not trying.
Wrong. Everyone knows Hasbro's distribution is shit.
>>5636992
At least their Marvel distribution shits on pretty much every other line they put out. I'd be going crazy if I were a completionist for Black Series or Transformers instead of Legends.
>>5636992
How? People say this, but it always boils down to personal anecdotes about them not seeing something. Give a solid and concrete reason why you think their distribution on a nationwide scale is shit.
>>5636992
>implying Hasbro directly delivers boxes to every WalMart/Target/KMart/TRU/Walgreens in america
Sure is child who doesn't understand how the world works
>>5637272
I wasn't implying that at all.
Last time I checked Hasbro, not fulfillment centers, was responsible for coming up with case assortments. Unpopular and double-packed characters inevitably lead to pegwarming. This keeps retailers from ordering new waves.
Then there's Habsro's delays in getting the new waves out, so retailers just end up reordering/stocking waves they already have.
>>5637400
Amen. This is happening in my area. But you can't tell the spoiled autists from other areas that this is happening or they'll rage fuck their mom's pet koi fish while berating everybody on toy.
Are there any good Shang Chi figures?
>>5637400
>Unpopular and double-packed characters inevitably lead to pegwarming.
That's not distribution and it's not really up to Hasbro either, since big companies like WalMart have a say in it too.
As for unpopular/double packed, that's a damned if you do\damned if you don't moment. Lots of unpopular characters are clamored for by fans and these same fans will bitch when a figure isn't made.
No matter what Hasbro does, you'll bitch and pretend it somehow has to do with "distribution"
>so retailers just end up reordering/stocking waves
Such ignorance.
If this was the 80s still, you'd be right, since Hasbro kept producing the same wave for an entire year. Nowadays, it's a 3-6 month interval of different waves. So any restock of a 3-6 month old wave, it's stuff that was still in one of the fifty store's 3 million square foot distribution centers.
>>5637730
>That's not distribution
How is it not? Case assortments literally determine which figures will be shipped out. What do you insist on calling it then?
I'm not pretending anything. Other Hasbro lines have the same issues as well. You don't hear nearly the same amount of complaints about lines by other toymakers.
>>5636050
> Scalpers
8 dollars more than original price.
Ooooh yeah they are making a KILLING.
>>5637483
Same thing happens in my location. I'm actually generally a wave of two behind. We only have Ultron wave stragglers at Walmart and the Rhino wave at Target. No TRU in my area. Shit I want to a target that's a bit farther from me and they still had Hobgoblin wave figures still out on pegs. Too bad I already picked up Ultimate Spider Woman and Mayday like forever ago. I just buy my MLs online generally. My LCS doesn't really keep up with then either.
>>5638026
>What do you insist on calling it then?
You just said it in your previous sentence.
You're just being a literal autist when it comes to using the word, likely because you heard it misused since forever and want to continue to misuse it.
>You don't hear nearly the same amount of complaints about lines by other toymakers.
lol, wut?
Maybe because you only pay attention to Marvel stuff, but the same complaints are made about ANY shelfwarmer for Hot Wheels, TMNT, Monster Girls, and countless other lines, some of which are rarely spoken about on /toy/.
At least, that's what I saw when i used to visit other forums in the 90s and 00s.
The only companies you'll rarely hear that from are collector companies, which are usually more flexible about how many of each figure you can order. And these collector toys rarely ever sell out, at least, not until a year later.
These collector toys are easy to get because they're usually released one by one and can get reordered, which you'll rarely ever see from mass market toys, because mass market requires a HUGE amount of toys to produced at cheaper prices.
Hasbro was supposedly going to allow direct market stores like comic shops to do orders like they normally did, so they could order individual figures, but it seems like that experiment failed.
Now with the Punisher Netflix series announced I cant wait for the walgreen punisher. Or the Mezco ones.
Hopefully we'll see more, like how we got a ML DD when his show dropped
>>5639258
I'd love a figure of Punished Frank from Rucka's run.
>>5639411
>>5639414
>>5636766
I'm always amused to see that the LEGO minifig is really just Ultron Prime with more vibranium poured onto him.
Does anyone here have Marvel Select Deadpool? How well does he scale with NECA stuff, especially the 7" Dante??
Thanks!
>>5640315
I don't have Dante but MS Deadpool is pretty big. It seems like it's in the same general scale but it might be slightly bigger than NECA stuff.

>>5640587
Huh. I guess Merch can be sold of Spidey then.
What's the hold up with a Marvel Select/Figuarts/Funko POP then?
Can someone please tell me when this comes out?
>>5641431
Release dates haven't been announced yet, so no.
>>5641431
Oh man I can't wait for this, do we know if he's coming with a Peter head? Some weblines would be great too actually.
>>5641535
Him and miles are both coming with unmasked heads
>>5641543
I wonder if there is a chance of an ultimatr venom. I know it's pretty much classic venom, but a more fitting head and a bulkier body with some tentacles would be great.
>>5641165
Obviously merch can be sold of Spidey. Sony owning the rights has never prevented them from making movie toys. I don't know why people seem to think it would now that they've got a deal that puts him in the MCU.
The only issue there was was they couldn't have him in advertising, and they clearly worked that out.
>>5640588
Ant Man on the back of the box looks like Collosus in a onesie.
Anyone else find it a shame that we never got a Legends figure of movie Yellowjacket? I know he wasn't the most spectacular villain (though I like to think of him as an alternate movie version of Ultron) but I still think he has one of the best costumes in the entire MCU and I just find it a shame that Hasbro never made a figure of him especially since you wouldn't even need the actor's likeness to get it right.
>>5640583
when this will be released ?
>>5641543
>>5641535
>>5641431
What if they retooled him and they're making him MCU spidey? That's why they haven't revealed release dates?
Also...do we know what Miles' box is gonna say? For Ultimate Spider-man, they've been using "Kid Arachnid" which I dunno where the fuck they got that name at but I wonder if it's something they're gonna bring across all the toy lines.
>>5632297
Ugh, gross, why did they go so 90s with it?
>>5642134
For some reason, Hasbro hates villains. No Malekith, no Ronan, no Nebula, no Whiplash.
>>5632462
The Ultron from the BAF Iron Monger wave is pretty good as basic Ultron, while the 3-pack Ultron is good if you want something a little more crazy looking with Kirby dots.
I mean, you pretty much listed all of them. The 5-inch Ultron from toybiz before ML looks pretty rad, but it's not articulated very well, and the Legendary Riders ultron is dogshit.
sorry if this question gets asked a ton, but i really want a full set of movie avengers.
cap, thor, iron man, hulk, hawkeye, widow
what's the best option? original avengers? AOU? legends? selects? figuarts? hot toys?
>>5642512
It's really a mix anon. Every brand has their strengths and weaknesses. You also have to know the differences in height and build if you want it to be at least accurate/ presentable.
There are lots of comparison videos out there. If you just put in the time, then you won't regret your purchase.
>>5642514
i've been looking around and have found all the results lacking so far.
each line has one or two flaws that ruin the whole thing for me.
was just wondering if there was any slightly obscure option i never considered.
>>5642512
What scale do you want?
Hot Toys is your best option for both quality and character selection but not budget.
Honestly, I prefer ~1/12 and like to mix and match lines (which occasionally requires scale fudging but eh)
>>5642567
scale isn't terribly important right now. i have halo PAK and sentai SHF but they're on separate detolf shelves. i think the most important aspect for me is likeness. up until now i've only had helmeted figures or robots, but with human figures who don't wear helmets, it's tricky finding acceptable sculpts. i know it's unfair to expect perfect paint apps on $20 figures, but both the legends and selects are letting me down on that front.
might end up saving money (like a lot of money) and picking up the Age of Ultron Hot Toys set one by one. they have everyone, the sculpted in detail is amazing, and while not every headsculpt is spot on, they get the closest that i've seen.
it's gonna kill me financially, but you only really need one kidney right?
>>5642512
Figuarts is IMO quite good but good luck on your budget when you try to get a Hulkbuster.
i've gone off the deep end
just saw hot toys mark 46 for 189 and thought "that's pretty reasonable"
>>5642670
well that is pretty reasonable, where did you see that at?
>>5642673
sideshow collectibles
they don't ship to my country though, so it's moot
>>5642670
Was it the power pose thing?
>>5642683
nope, it was the legit mark 46
regular - 189
diecast - 345
>>5642684
sorry, i fucked up, it was the power pose
>>5642512
Figma makes the best Iron Man and soon to be Hulk figures, but Figuarts and Revoltech have the better other characters.
>>5642711
Besides, Hot Toys of course.
>>5642159
Whoops, forgot you. Here's the eBay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Exclusive-Marvel-Mini-Universe-Captain-America-Civil-War-8-Figure-Set-MIP-Hasbro-/222099397004?hash=item33b627d98c:g:1HoAAOSwYmZXIB72
>>5642134
Yellowjacket's costume is so fucking good. I'm still holding out hope he'll show up in an MCU filler wave or boxset or something, as unlikely as that is, just because it's so cool.
>>5642405
I doubt that's the case. We just don't have release dates for any of the upcoming waves. We'll probably get an MCU Spidey in the next wave after that one.
They'll probably make Ultimate Peter and Miles swap figures, both under the name Ultimate Spider-Man/Men. Then it'll specify that it's Miles Morales.
>>5642405
> What if they retooled him and they're making him MCU spidey? That's why they haven't revealed release dates?
That probably won't happen; MCU figures are usually unique sculpts because the costumes require way more sculpted detail than they get away with on their comic figures; we'll probably see a Civil War Spidey way later.
> Also...do we know what Miles' box is gonna say?
Probably just "Ultimate Spider-Man" where he'll surely be a swap figure with Peter. Kid Arachnid is the name he's using in the current cartoon, but they're not going to use it for a comics figure.
MCU Crossbones when?
>>5642711
How's the Full Spec and Midas Iron Man Figma?
>>5643019
> MCU villain

Don't listen to that guy. They're overpriced and poorly engineered, using soft plastic where they should've put hinges in the armor. This leads to wrinkles and paint chipping in those areas. Also, many have experienced the paint on the chest becoming splotchy and uneven over time.
>>5643026
Couldn't tell ya myself, but they look pretty solid from the reviews I've seen.

Can someone just upfront ask Hasbro about this in a con or something?
I know they're basically allergic to MCU villains but it's such a huge missed opportunity when we get designs like Ronan, Yellowjacket and Crossbones that actually look great and toyetic (not to mention the potential parts reuse from all three could easily give us new sculpts for other Legends).
I mean I'm glad we're even getting Wanda from Civil War at all, but it's like they can't into MCU somehow.
>>5643110
> MCU Ronan
> good
lol
They've mentioned countless times at cons that their comic figures vastly outsell the MCU stuff, so they prioritize comics figures.
>>5643114
Ronan gets a pass because I was only referring to his design.

Figma Thor us far superior to the Figuarts, and the only Avengers figures Revoltech makes are Iron Man figures, and they're terrible. The fuck are you talking about?
>>5643158
kiss me
Just picked up Jack O Lantern, sculpt and paint on his head sold it for me, they're great. That said this figure feels like they stepped three years backwards in engineering, the plastic is incredibly gummy and soft, joints are tight enough that they deform before they bend, some of the joints are very hard ratchets and the hips are absolutely terrible. I thought that ML had been improving, why is this figure such shit?
>>5643172
Seriously, I've picked up mattel figures recently that were far superior to this
>>5643172
That mold was from an SDCC boxset years ago and wasn't meant for current budgets; hence cheaper plastic leading to warping and issues, and older articulation models.
>>5643180
that makes sense, it's fucking terrible
>>5643158
>Figma Thor
>superior
Explain
I want to buy a 3 3/4 inch Hank Pym to fill in on my ML display. I see there's an MU Yellowjacket and an Infinite Ant-Man that look decent, what is recommended?
>>5643202
No shell-shocked eyes, cloth cape, articulated hair, better proportions, and actually has usable torso articulation
>>5643172
>That said this figure feels like they stepped three years backwards in engineering
It quite literally is backwards. A lot of the figure uses the Bucky body mold from when Hasbro first got the Legends license.
If you want to appreciate Hasbro now, all you need to do is see some of their older figures. They're all really really awful.
>>5643214
the figma looks absolutely terrible in that comparison pic, though.
>>5643214
his eyes look sunken in and shitty, his hair looks like playdoh, and his cloth cape looks cheap
>marisa tomey
oooh I get it now..
>>5643214
I think I still greatly prefer the SHF's wide eyes to the Figma's clay-ass face sculpt. Cloth capes are fine but I feel they need wire to be totally functional-- no flying poses when the cape succumbs to gravity. I don't see it on the proportions; Figma's head seems too big or too small from some angles and the SHF looks fine in most regards to me. You got me on better hair engineering and torso movement, though, even if SHF's torso is still useable backwards.
I think part of it is down to my love of sleeveless Thor designs, honestly.

>people actually arguing about which thor looks worse
they both look like cheaposhit CGI.
Even Hasbro's 1:18 Thors are better detailed than them and properly proportioned.
>>5643318
To be fair, Hasbro did some pretty damn great work for likenesses on their 3 3/4" Thor line.
>>5641431
Another generic spider-man? its so hard to buy a single figure for this guy, even worse when we find out it's better than the last one.
also manga-verse version when?

I don't know. I figured it was Sony people their usual idiot selves - same reason we haven't seen Spider-man in any of the marketing except for that one trailer and 2 quick shots in some recent TV spots.
He's absent everywhere else.
>>5643345
This new Spidey is at least on a whole new mold, though. They made a teen boy mold for Ultimate Peter and Miles.
Seems like it'd be easy enough to re-use the new USM mold for, with a few new pieces made. No idea if it'll happen but I wouldn't say it never will, Hasbro likes to get their money's worth out of new sculpts.
>>5643449
Sony owning the rights has never prevented toys from being made. Why would that have changed?
>>5643487
>Sony owning the rights has never prevented toys from being made. Why would that have changed?
I don't know! I just think it's super weird how they're hiding him in everything!
I've seen their movie, there's scenes in the trailers where he's been removed.
>>5643487
It doesn't have to be a Sony-Marvel thing for their to be a marketing embargo; it could just be a "we want to keep this character out of the spotlight" thing. Hasbro did the same thing with another major Disney blockbuster six months ago when they kept Han, Luke and Lightsaber-Weilding Rey out of their merch for Star Wars.
They seem to have tried something similar, based on stuff some of the developers of games have said, about things like Spidey and Giant Man in Civil War; though Funko and Lego don't seem to give a fuck.
>>5643530
Well yeah they were obviously trying to keep the design a secret, and as far as advertisements Sony apparently prevented them from featuring him, but people in these threads are acting like there's some Sony embargo that could keep the MCU version of the character from ever getting toys.
>>5643508
>I don't know! I just think it's super weird how they're hiding him in everything!
Because it was a spoiler until just recently.
>>5642134
>though I like to think of him as an alternate movie version of Ultron
Fuck, never thought of it that way. Somehow it all makes so much more sense now with how they wrote him.
>>5643214
This discussion has me thinking, /toy/
What's your favorite Thor figure?
What's the objective best?
Movie, comic, or otherwise
>>5643698
Favorite is probably the Marvel Select Spinning Hammer Thor. It has some great sculpt, paint, articulation, and size. Nice accessories too.
Second favorite is probably the Marvel Legends AoU 4pack (The amazon exclusive one, with banner, black widow, and hawkeye). Grabbed it when they had it down to 40 bucks sometime late last year.

Thanks.
So it was an exclusive figure.... Kinda sad because it means there's only small chance for it to be available in my country.
I hope Hasbro will also released him in regular 2 pack.

Weird, I would've thought it would be the opposite.

>>5643900
If they'd just mold a holster that's empty I'd be fine. I have enough of their little guns that I could surely fill them.
>>5643698
Marvel Select Marvel NOW! Thor is objectively the best Thor. I feel like an idiot for passing on it, the Legends version is a poor substitute.
Personally though my favourite is the ROML figure. Coipel's take on Thor is my absolute favourite and that figure nailed his design.
I've also got a bit of a soft spot for the Old King Thor BAF.
>>5643698
>What's the objective best?
Marvel Select Marvel Now Thor.
>What's your favorite Thor figure?
RoML Coipel Thor.
I got him for around 5 or 6 dollars once and for that price he's really good.
Guys who is standing next to Hyperion?

Ultimate Hyperion
TRU.com currently has 20% off all Marvel Avengers figures, play sets, and role play. And of course that includes Legends, making them $15.99 instead of $19.99.

I'm going to SDCC again this year and last year I was able to chat with a bunch of the ML guys at the Hasbro booth. I'll be sure to ask them about that, they were pretty up front with me when I asked about a few other things so maybe I'll get a straight answer. But this is something I too am genuinely curious about.
>>5644256
>>5643110
I'm curious as to why they didn't do a line of Legends specifically for the MCU. We've gotten a few here and there in different waves, and when they actually do something related to the MCU, they're in expensive collector mutli-packs.
I wonder if it has to do with likenesses to the actors/actresses? I mean, most of the toys "look" like them and of course the Hot Toys do, but is Hasbro able to make say.. Iron Man figure that really looks like RDJ?
>>5643698
The second TB Thor is my personal favorite. He's a classic comic design without the hulked out body of their first attempt. Right now mine has the MS spinning hammer.
Which Thing fig is the best, lads?
>new 3.75 comic ironman mark 1
Is it just me or the new fig used the same mold, besides the upper torso and head, as the movie 2 3.75 IM mark 1?
i am not seeing the differece here.
