New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Articulated diecast figures? Come on not even Jada did that when they made those Robocop figures and they work mostly with diecast. Whats the objective? Having chipped figures after they are played with? Increase the visits to dentists? I'm guessing hasbro made an agreement with the dentists association.

This is fucking ridiculous, it's not like metal is cheaper then plastic or is it? Are they made of aluminum? No need for articulation then just bend the arm LOL. Are we going to see tupperwares made out of metal also? LOL

About the screenshot I see its from an official catalog from Hasbro Iberia catalog. Sorry to contradict you but I'm almost sure that entry is not for diecast figures. But just to be sure I will go ahead and contact them. Maybe they have details on it and can clarify.

Im still holding out hope for a Thor two pack with thor and hulk and the rest of the guardians team...

Also it looks like Spider-Man is the only one to have wrist and torso articulation

ukmu · 02-03-2017, 12:01 PM

Oh em gee!!!!

Those are fantastic!

I have never been happier for plastic over metal!

But with most modern 3.75" hovering around 4.5"+ tall.... how/why is the 3.5" labelling? They "look" to be same height though.

This should be FRONT PAGE news and in glorious hi-res. This along with the new figures just shown for Rogue One 3.75" Hasbro has hit it out of the park!!!

Soooo glad they are NOT die cast then.

Auto... what do you mean by NOT glued together?

Wonder if he is the SUPER ARTICULATED they spoke of?

Those GotG will be enough to drag me into a Cinematic Universe collection tion. I have avoided the urge until now....

EZTOYDUDE · 02-03-2017, 12:09 PM

Next two packs hopes
Gamora with Rocket/ baby groot
Mantis or nebula with Drax

Thor:Ragnarok
Thor with Gladiator Hulk
And if we are lucky
Loki with Valkyrie
Skurg with hela

Lastly....

I can almost hear the 6" (whiners) collectors saying, "oh man, I thought these were proper Legends when I saw them." And the soon to be popular, "the Astral form should be in 6" first." Of course there will always be the "I would get them in a second if they weren't small figures." Or as 'they' like to call them four inch. As well as "they should stop calling THESE figures Legends."

Just happy Hasbro has thrown us some.bones to the 3.75" collectors today. Plenty of meat left on them as well. To you Hasbro.... I applaud you!

Grippen · 02-03-2017, 12:23 PM

Glad to see Hasbro made a good call. Wonder if someone read our disappointment from the first released toys. Now I can't wait to see more photos and mostly have them in hand. Starlord and Vulture are my priorities. Maybe spider also. I guess spidy uses many similar parts of the super articulated one from some years back. Great figure by the way.

I'm not sure about the wrists, but I am possibly hallucinating some thigh swivels.

The other figures aren't in desperate need of that kind of articulation, though, so I can forgive them for saving it.

They did make an astral 6 inch one already...It's actually fairly cheap to get on Ebay.

I am happy that we're getting the astral form, though. The MU astral form is on my most wanted figures list, so this will do nicely in the meantime.

Also, they should stop calling these things Legends. I prefer Universe, as that is what I fell in love with.

EZTOYDUDE · 02-03-2017, 12:44 PM

Your next move hasbro this !!!!

Jimmyo · 02-03-2017, 01:15 PM

Don't mean to double post but holy crap I actually just jumped up and down with joy! I haven't felt this excited for new figures in a long time.

Marvelfangirl · 02-03-2017, 02:25 PM

Grippen · 02-03-2017, 02:32 PM

Ye I'm hoping some prototypes of these or at least more shots. Vulture specially seems still a photoshop concept not even a prototype yet so maybe we won't see the actual figure on toy fair. All the other for sure they will figures.
