Does Lucasfilm or Disney have final say though? I know LF still works inside Disney haha

6” scale D&D figures COULD be an unlimited cash flow generator, if they just did $20 articulated versions of the miniatures. I realize the minis are done by Neca, so they’d obviously have to look different enough, but since Hasbro lost the Jurassic Park license, they could put all that beast-design energy into making manticores, owbears, young dragons, and Haslab Tiamat.

Mythic legions are ok, but way too much $ for many. At a price around $20 it would fly off shelves. Drizzt and other “named” characters are great for completists and conventions, but the store figures should just be “Human Male Paladin” or “Female Wood Elf Ranger” etc. collectors and especially photographers would go nuts for the line.

That set of Holiday Star Wars figures are so corny but yet, so cool! It's like that ugly Christmas sweater, I must have it!

Lucasfilm does, yeah. They said there was a ton of back and forth to get them made.

[Meta]

Um forget everything else. I'm so getting me that Black Series Dark Rey figure.

[deecee4]

Jedi Fett looks great! And the holiday figures seem like the sort of thing that nerds will be gifted from their normie friends.

This Hasbro Marvel panel is one of the most boring and irritating panels I've ever had to sit through.

Agree, as that could be ANY of the panels. I’m a recent convert to D&D. I’m addicted to it... but I was yelling at my monitor telling them to move on. Yeah, it’s great that Joe is a promoter of DND, It’s cool that he gets to play DND with nerd celebrities in a custom gaming wine cellar every week and cuddle Sophia Vergara every night, but I don’t want to listen to him for an hour about DMing on a products panel. There are 300+ YouTube videos about how to DM. I am watching Hasbro Pulsecon to see what HASBRO is bringing to my table.

The Heroes bit was great. They showcase the product, explained the extras, etc. The DND panel basically bored me. Even the comments stream was boring, since it was a bunch of trolls crying about Starwars and international shipping restrictions.

I've never seen you this opinionated haha

[iRandom]

I see the marketing intern is still going strong with acid induced repaints.

I like the Mandalorian Armorer. I'll probably try to pick that up for my daughter once the retail version comes out.

[Nimrod]

And they couldn't include those flame effects that came with Fett/Incinerator trooper with Pyro, because???????????????

I dislike panels in general. But I can tolerate when they're to the point (here's the new shit, here's when it will be available). But when they meander for 70 minutes on just nothing, my nerd rage boils up.

Guess its a good thing ya weren’t there with fruits and vegetable.....probably canned too. Haha

[Comedian]

Dear god. That marvel panel was torture. I sat through 30 minutes of “616” and I can’t even tell you what it is.....so our earth? My god.

The marvel figures were nice. Starwars was great. Razor crest!

The Christmas figures........

Hahaha The figure looks pretty good to me. Plus, he's an essential Phantom Menace character. Dark Rey may be the dopest Star Wars reveal, although that Mando Armorer is sweet.

I'm REALLY surprised by Arcade. Kang looks awesome. And Dormammu is absolutely perfect. Hopefully classic Strange isn't too far behind.

And am I the only one who thinks the retro Gambit is soooo much better than the previous version we got? The hair alone is such a huge improvement.

[Specter]

Can someone explain to me why Hasbro like to advertise figures coming from waves beyond the next unrevealed waye(and all repacks at that)
Mandalorian S2 starts next month we have an entire wave of Mandalorian figures coming around the end of the year completely unrevealed and the are showing AOTC figure repacks.
Where is Beskar Mando?
Where is Giddion?
Where is TVC baby Yoda?
Where is Greef?

[GizmoTron]

Given that the Marvel guys almost certainly have a bunch of MCU stuff that's all been stuffed to the back burner I thought what they did show off was pretty good. I'm looking forward to a lot of it.

[ShabbyBlue]

Really love that Firestar figure. She was one of the main ones still on my Marvel wishlist.

See i liked the darker colors on gambit but i do like the heads sculpt better. Those brighter colors look kinda knockoffish.

Hmmm Good point. I know what you mean about the knock-off look. I really dislike the retro Green Goblin because of the garish colors. Perhaps just a head swap on Gambit will do.
