Hasbro Preview Night from NYCC 2015

Dr Kain · 10-07-2015, 10:15 PM

Man, what a disappointing set of reveals. The only characters I must buy from the Red Skull robot wave (refuse to call that thing Onslaught since it is Red Skull) are Classic Cap and Mockingbird. Maybe I'll get the White Maria. The rest are meh. Also don't collect X-Men, so I have no interest in Rogue (not to mention she is out of place). Wasn't Namor supposed to be in this wave?

Oh, and their only Star Wars 6inch reveal is lackluster. Why are they so incapable of sculpting Ford's face right?

I think General Hux looks good. I'm hoping I can fit a Red Skull head on the buck for a quick and easy custom kitbash...

Plus like someone else mentioned...that Han figure is gonna be the base of A LOT of custom Indiana Jones figures I'm sure...and rightfully so. It is literally a hat and a bullwhip away from being a half decent representation of him.

Man that Rogue, Cottonmouth is probably going to get turned into Serpentor by someone.

He has the crazy hands too.

derek · 10-08-2015, 04:01 AM

My heart just skipped a beat. That Rogue.

Apparently that is Scourge of the Underworld, not Crossbones. As for CapWolf and Udon Taskmaster, I don't think Hasbro put out all of the accessories for this photo op.

Rogue is not part of the Civil War wave, but an upcoming wave. Probably the one with Namor.

dukefett · 10-08-2015, 06:27 AM

I'm at Nycc and Hasbro does not ave a booth listed, these only for show to press?

Colder Soldier · 10-08-2015, 06:58 AM

"Captain America" Legends waves have always been the best since ML Infinite began. I actually plan on playing with these.

I thought that was Crossbones...damn I need a crossbones bad as the SDCC and the original release cost too much.

I really wonder if the X-Men are fair game again. I need my Cyclops, Jim Lee Style.

Haha I know that's what I say to myself as well. I really should start getting the legends that I have the 3.75 already.

Those 3.75" packaging, that's is exactly what Hasbro needs to do with the 6" line to combat switch-a-roos and BAF thefts.

That wouldn't stop anything.

Most likely not. The Ep 7 heads don't seem to be removable like the Marvel heads are.

PlayTime · 10-08-2015, 11:36 PM

How would it not stop switching out figures or BAF parts? I mean I guess if it's a full swipe.
The packages need to be ripped open. The current 6" packaging makes it too easy to do even in-store. At least with the sealed/glued packaging you have to put more effort than just a small piece of tape and a flap and you're in.

People have been popping off the First Order Trooper's head to create Finn's Stormtrooper look from the trailer...and although it took some work, I was able to get my Kylo head off so I could adjust the fit of his cloak a little better, so I don't see why not?

Did you get them off without heading the heads up?

Okspears · 10-09-2015, 07:53 PM

And finally a decent Rogue after so many years. Maybe in that upcoming wave we will see more missing characters

If only we had been so lucky with the official Indiana Jones line.

Lody666 · 10-10-2015, 10:57 PM

Man

I sure wish they'd come out with more iron man and Spider-Man figures instead of oh idk

UNRELEASED figures

warmachine6 · 10-11-2015, 05:24 AM

Hoping today we shall have more news for marvel legends

webz · 10-13-2015, 07:57 PM

Was really hoping for a mix of more Movie figures... Scarlet witch, vision, and either Hawkeye or quicksilver

Orbital Frame · 10-18-2015, 10:28 AM

The Force Awakens Official Poster at StarWars.com, expect the trailer tomorrow.

The movie wave is probably being held back for reveal at ToyFair 2016.
