Correction: It hasn’t been a couple of years rather only a year since the BB-8 playset.

Those cool cardboard playsets can blur the lines of between toys and boardgames. The later has been making a strong comeback. Action figure aisles are so jam packed as is. So including 3.75 figures in boardgames and the game aisles is certainly another great venue,

Another way that would help is actually purchasing Hasbro 3.75 vehicles and playsets.
It's been a couple of years since the BB-8 playset, but Hasbro just released the Target exclusive Vandor-1 playset. Granted it's more cardstock than plastic and the price higher than expected for such, but it is a playset nonetheless. Whether its hit or a miss may determine if Hasbro decides to do more playsets in the future. Quote:
Understandably, the same was said in a biased Star Wars Survey Monkey in 2016.
Over a year later, Toy Fair 2018 wowed us with a crazy huge HasLab 3.75 Jabba Barge. Just like Kostej said, "Everybody" who loves 3.75 (Star Wars, Marvel, DC, GIJoe) should let Hasbro know, we still exist, in this similar biased survey. Maybe we'll see a Toy Fair wowing us with another crazy huge HasLab / Hellicarrier?!? It asks the wrong questions. It's designed to give skewed results to reflect lack of interest and yields no data we need to get stuff made. The two questions it asked about 3.75" figures isn't enough to cause change or show demand. It asked how many have you bought and of your purchases what percentage is which based over the last 2 years of your purchases. With lower offerings on market as around Ironman 3 and Antman(more than 2 years ago), that's going to reflect higher market on the 6'' side. So that survey is going to reflect bad data and will have skewed results as such. Effectively, it's a survey to support killing the scale for Marvel material because of how the results are skewed from the questions asked, and will show it as a dying market when it's only lower because the offerings are lower. The star wars survey asked the right questions, which is why we saw the positive effects. Surveys do help when the results aren't skewed to reflect bad data gathering or false data. That's how markets that are still thriving end up dying. As for the helicarrier. The most we'll get is a retool of the Avengers released one. Which I'm not actively against either. Would love that to be on market again with a newly made cabin top/side. That'd make a really epic Micro Machines playset too with some minor tweaks.

I see the Marvel/Capcom Gamerverse 2 packs are slowly hitting. If anyone spots a loose Mr Negative fig pop up on Chinese Ebay give me a shout as I have a Buddy who wants a couple.
Thanks. |

Great find, Super Joe! That is just another way how to remind Hasbro that we still exist and are ready to pay for 3.75inch line. So far I counted 11 posts out of 82 that are explicitly asking for 3.75 inch line resurrection. Let's add to those numbers. Be polite, be constructive, be heard! #marvel375forever!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BmDsCZDg...by=hasbropulse But also remember to keep it civil and not mean spirited! While seeing demand is a great thing. That's also a promotional thing to ask about development and the process too. So try not to do overly long winded responses or bad suggestions. Short, sweet, and simple is the best way to get a response. So best foot forward. Last edited by Snowflakian; 08-18-2018 at 03:27 AM.. |

Kosteg, as a follow-up to your great "giant characters" question on Hasbropulse, can you also ask this?
Can Hasbro re-release Galactus just like the Sentinel's "Days of Future Past" new box exclusive? Celebrating the return of new "What If" comics, Hasbro can now do a "What If #41 Galactus fought the Avengers?" box exclusive. Include a 6 inch Giant Man and it'll sell to both 6 inch and 3.75 collectors alike. Last edited by Super Joe; 08-18-2018 at 06:47 PM.. |

Another great big figure Hasbro can re-release is the Frost Giants. Package it in a brand new "What If Thor was Raised by Frost Giants" box exclusive. Offer it as an exclusive to Walmart, Best Buy, or Bed Bath Beyond (to match their blue store logo) and you have a likely buyer in one of these major retailers.
