i wanted to go back and copy and paste the members who were dogging the movie early and didnt' even know shit about it...but...it was wayyy too much work to prove a point.
Those jerkies know who they are. agreed...and it kinda makes me wonder...WHAT will be the first superhero movie from Marvel that bombs. or at least doesn't recoup its investment.. ya think it will happen eventually?? I'm glad it didn't, as it holds the door open for Marvel to give characters they never once considered profitable a shot. As for the first superhero film/property from Marvel to bomb...it already happened. Inhumans. It was originally supposed to be a feature film, but it ended up devolving into a TV series, and then ended up bombing miserably. I'd throw Iron Fist in there as well. I know that it's considered a television show, but given the quality, budget and content of Netflix's TV shows, they really do end up feeling like 10 hour movies. |

Now that Robbie Reyes is an Avenger I can hope he gets a figure.
Not rumored anymore. They confirmed it at the show, but no pics yet. I don't think pics were allowed in the presentation. |

Oh god. I just had a thought what if they did BAA (Build an Armor.) I don't know how well that would go over.

MCU 10th Anniversary - Neither of us are huge MCU collectors, only getting a few select characters (Civil War BP and SW, TRU exclusive Groot, all the Homecoming figures, Valkyrie), so I'm not aiming for a majority of this line. But I know a lot of people who are gonna be jazzed as all hell to FINALLY get some classic villains and characters that deserve figures (Pepper, Sif). Would've loved to see a Whiplash figure, though, as well as a Peggy Carter. Definitely getting the Wanda/Vision pack, though. snip..

So Laurence Fishburne and Disney are putting together a Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur TV show.
‘Marvel’s Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur’ In Works As Animated Series | Deadline Dare I hope this finally gets us a Devil Dinosaur figure? |

Well hopefully it'd be like the Kitty Pryde figure where she had an Onslaught head for the Red Skull BAF in addition to a Juggernaut piece but with Hasbro these days you never know!

The MCU anniversary line is looking great....I must say. Very disappointed in lack of 12" figures but excited for the rest of the year.
Marvel comics themselves seem to want real fans back and abandon the Millennial ideology....so yeah...everything is coming up Milhouse for me in the Marvel front. Superman is back in his undies....I am good in my comics-action figure universe for the foreseeable future. |

Kind of worthless when the site only has the three figures I already got.
Sure, I need to get a replacement Deathlok, but there isn't anyone else to order with him.

Isn’t X-Force Deadpool the double pack?

Nah, it's the 90's DP that got double packed. He doesn't come with a BAF piece.
If they'd made it the X-Force version without a BAF piece, all the people who managed to get he convention exclusive wouldn't have a reason to buy it! I can't see Hasbro making a move like that... |

Guess I'm a "jerkie" for thinking it had the potential to bomb. My reasons were different from a lot of others (I cited superhero fatigue and unfamiliarity with the character mostly,) but hey, I'm eating crow. I'll own up to that.
I'm glad it didn't, as it holds the door open for Marvel to give characters they never once considered profitable a shot. As for the first superhero film/property from Marvel to bomb...it already happened. Inhumans.

I know that it's considered a television show, but given the quality, budget and content of Netflix's TV shows, they really do end up feeling like 10 hour movies. My father just asked me last night,how long has he been around? My father is 65 by the way keeps up with alot of modern stuff and so fourth. He said he has NEVER heard of him prior to the movie. Even though BP was created in the 60s or 70s..... Marvel movies to flop? First hulk movie, man thing, alot of people didnt care for the fantastic four movies etc. Granted this was still prior to the "MCU" but they did flop. |

I missed the Deadpool stuff on TRU, but I still have them on Big Bad, so I'll just keep that pre-order. In the meantime, here are some pics of some recent pick ups/customs/what my shelves are looking like right now.

That is the truth though.... if your not a comic nerd like some of us, people without the knowledge have no idea at all who BP is.
My father just asked me last night,how long has he been around? My father is 65 by the way keeps up with alot of modern stuff and so fourth. He said he has NEVER heard of him prior to the movie. Even though BP was created in the 60s or 70s..... Marvel movies to flop? First hulk movie, man thing, alot of people didnt care for the fantastic four movies etc. Granted this was still prior to the "MCU" but they did flop. The reason I say this is that while the newer characters solo films are popular, I wonder how audiences will react to group movies that do not have the MCU tentpole characters in them - assuming that Thor, Captain America and Iron Man are not serving/do not make it out after Avengers 4. The question is will the market interest be sustained in seeing a movie of second stringers? It very well might, but I think it's also possible it may not. |

I think there is a "chance" of MCU burnout after Avengers 4 and phase 4 begins (not including the spider-man movie in summer 2019.)
