I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU ARKERS:
Has Hasbro ever EVER answered anything? really answered your quest on any damn thing? Not some press release jargon stateent, but a direct answer other than Magic 8-Ball replies like "Signs Point To Yes" or "Ask Again Later"? Not to be negative here...I just dont see it. It's like listening to an Andy Reid press conference.

Honestly, I think Hasbro just throws darts at a chart on the wall to determine answers for our questions and what figures they'll be doing. Once in a while, we get some random obscure thing that a couple of us wanted and we think that they might actually be listening. Mattel and sadly even ToyGuru have Hasbro licked in this department. ToyGuru can at times give snide answers and give us the run around, but he has acknowledged and even answered quite a few of our questions in comparison. In fact, sometimes our fan demands actually get answered in the figures that are released and accessories that come with them which is pretty sweet. The fact that a Beast figure was ever considered at all was probably totally random. Assuming that they made the Astonishing Cat Beast that hardly anyone wanted just to spite us would be giving them too much credit. You have to pay attention to your fan base in order to do that.

Not sure if this is still active but anyone know why the Movie Series Ultra-Possible Spider-Man didnt cone with the film accurate yellow lenses despite the initial prototype seen last summer (as well as on the packaging for the figure) did?

Can we have some more ladies of the brown skinned variety out side of Storm? Now, don't get me wrong, I love me some Storm, but adding a legit Misty Knight, Pulsar (Captain Marvel), or Frenzy to my shelf would be awesome.

1) Is Circuit Breaker an option for a figure? Since the Character is owned by Marvel, she could be a MU figure.
2) Which Deaths Head are we getting again? Deaths Head 1 yes? Or Deaths Head 2? 3) Any chance of getting a MU gift set of AIM beekeepers as a army builder? Ditto on HYDRA troopers 4) Any plans to make more of 90's X Factor? 5) Will we see vehicles (Fantasticar Redeco, Blackbird, Quinjet redeco) or playsets (Doomstadt, Baxter Building, Avengers Tower/ Mansion, X Mansion) at some point before the rights expire/ economy recovers? |

Black Widow was the only Avenger who did not get a walmart exclusive 6" figure. Are there any plans to release this figure? Possible two pack with Nick Fury?

I'm pretty sure Hasbro stopped the Q&A sessions.
They won't be at NYCC for anyone to ask them questions either. |

Did that recently change? I thought that they were going to be there to show everyone what they forgot to bring to SDCC?

not really a qurstion but something they need to change !!!
My Prime Huge Example Marvel Legends Spider-man infinite series Spawn Of Symboites Seems like an innocent title But NO !!!! Should be Marvel Legends Spider-man infinite series Carnage or Marvel Legends Spider-man infinite series Toxin Today I recieved a ML Toxin when thinking of buying Carnage now i could moan at Amazon saying get your facts right follow the images but it's not their fault at the end of the day, especially with the title "Marvel Legends Spider-man infinite series Spawn Of Symboites " it could mean anything, I moan at amazon saying they sent me the wrong imaged item and that was it was incorrect and then i had a thought that amazon is like a warehouse company and they send what is labelled "Marvel Legends Spider-man infinite series Spawn Of Symboites " in this case giving them no idea what figure they're actually sending at the end of the day i think it's both companies fault Hasbro for such a Bland title i.e i could get Venom , Anti-Venom etc from the title "Marvel Legends Spider-man infinite series Spawn Of Symboites" Amazon for not even looking at the image saying oh that's not Carnage that's Toxin he didn't ask for that, This item is " Carnage is out of stock" Toxin Only available. Looking at the Figure in Packaging i was really disappointing in Hasbro Toxin is clearly a cheap figure re-use the body , paint red and changed head okay that should sell for ÂŁ20 ish packaged , It kinda feels like a scalper could of done a better job. End of Rant , end Message for Hasbro Label The product with PRECISION so amazon don't have to worry about getting the product wrong |

ok, here's one...
Why are the case ratios for Build-a-Figure waves completely skewed? Making a BAF wave where there are more arms than torsos makes no sense whatsoever. Additionally, please stop giving the female figures the short end of the stick. I know the "female characters don't sell well" mentality still prevails among western toy makers, even though collectors know it isn't true, and all this does is result in popular characters like Black Widow and Storm being near impossible to find. |

Yeah, including BAF with Emma, Widow, Storm, etc AND making them one per case is nuts. At one per case they will sell on their own. Put the BAF part in with Cap or Wolverine to encourage sales of figures we've seen before a dozen times.
I want to know if Hasbro will ever release production numbers on figures. Even just ballparks for certain waves would be interesting.

I know Hasbro need to cut cost but why do they do to their action figures. (weak plastic, lame paint job, reuse of the same body parts over and over) Why not cut cost on Nerf or board games instead?

You make useless multipacks in MU and now ML with the Xmen boxset, how about making some decent 2packs. Like 1 AIM and 1 Hydra soldier for $29.99, would sell like crazy. Or sell completed Mandroids. People want to army build, but it's too expensive buying single figures, especially retired ones like SHIELD, Hand Ninja, Kree. I would love to have 12 of each but at $40-50 each, F-that. When are we going to get Toybiz size BAF's?. How can Marvel Select make detailed bases and you give us the shitty hexagonal base, or nothing at all? Any chance of making playsets? Customizers and a.c.b.a fans would love an back alley playset, rooftop set, armory etc.

more plastic cost more money these days so hasbro can't / won't , buy/ afford it, and wasn't it like 10 figures to build him ?. I compared prices between the guardians wave at my local comic book store rocket raccon is priced at ÂŁ20.99 for pre-order !!! Iron-man and Starlord at ÂŁ17.99!!! price difference much okay either way i need to spend roughly ÂŁ20 but ÂŁ1 or ÂŁ2 will help save and go on to another figure ! I do argee on your 2 pack idea would be up for perhaps army building ! although small change would be hydra vs shield agent with varients i.e perhaps a special commander set ... Hexagonal bases were pointless , i want flight stands ... Play-sets are no especially for ML's Too big , too much money and i doubt people would buy them unless they specially ordered them |

FYI, guys. Hasbro stopped doing the Q&A about 2 years ago. Hence the reason why this was a dead thread.
@warmachine6 The "Spawn of Symbiotes" is a swap-pack. It's labeled that way on purpose because the same packaging is used for both figures. I agree it doesn't seem like the best way to handle distribution of those figures, but it's also nothing new. Hasbro's been doing that since they rebooted Marvel Legends (and they've also done it with the last couple of MU waves). I'm surprised you haven't noticed that, since half of the ASM2 Legends series is made up of swap packs: "Spawn of Symbiotes" = Carnage or Toxin "Skyline Sirens" = Black Cat or Spider-Girl "Deadliest Foes" = Beetle or Boomerang It's really up to the retailers to make a distinction within their own item listings (if at all).

To be fair, they were answering plenty of questions at their SDCC booth
last year. Just have to ask the right person the right questions.

This thread was for a limited number of formalized questions officially submitted by Toyark each month to Hasbro's Marvel Team (which meant the Q's were run past the legal department as well as the Marvel staff). World of difference.

But it's almost Con time which I assume is why someone picked up the idea of asking them questions. No bothers to look at earlier posts when a thread is revived, just the title. I'm assuming you will have people at SDCC and if not there will be people that post on this site attending.

If we do have any Arkers attending, who also don't mind asking a question or two..... Has the ML line grown in popularity to the point that we'll see more box sets and perhaps the return of two packs? Maybe 3 packs? With the idea that ML lines are in stores to coincide with movie releases, and not all movies will have their own waves, will we see figures for Antman or Dr. Strange put into other movie waves? Or will we start to see some random waves that might include some of the recently dropped figs as well as the characters who couldn't support a whole movie wave on their own? Thanks, just in case!

I'm fine with people asking Hasbro reps about things at conventions. Just keep in mind a lot of those informal Q&A sessions can sound suspiciously like "he tell me" without any proof (like audio or video of the conversation).

Considering how popular the character is, is there a possibility we will see Spider Gwen anytime soon?

When will see the 3.75" line return to its former glory? Specifically, the return of the highly articulated figure s we have grown to know.
The recent offerings have lacked sorely with cutbacks even with a 30%-40% increase in price. The recent outings are up to third less in articulation points. Will this continue, or will you listen to the fans and either lower the price to at least the original price point or at a minimum increase the articulation back to a standard to which you have set and lead the industry in for years?

When will we see some classic X-men figures such as First Appearance Storm, Sunfire, Polaris and Thunderbird?
