Agree with this. He wasn't much different when he was heading the Joe line either. I've met him before, he's kind of a tool, so polite or not doubt it'd have made much difference.

Anyway, not sure how many times I can say this, but I feel bad for you guys that just want to collect but can't. It's a shame you're getting shafted so often.

I can turn to filling gaps in my 3.75 collections and support local business for a while I guess. Hasbro sure does not want my money they have shown that!

Guess my money can go to Boss Fight and other small groups. The sad thing is, I feel like, for years, we've tried to tell Hasbro what was wrong, and they never listened. Now, it just feels like an abusive relationship with a deluded sibling or something.

Yes, Stall has been elitist about 6" over 4" since he got onto Marvel. I've never heard him be respectful or sincere about 4". The past couple years they've had Vala answer all the 4" questions but I guess the reins are back off Dwight.

I for one just hope the line dies for a bit till a team with smarts and enthusiasm can re-launch it.

Till then, my money is still on 4" but mostly on all the various BOSS FIGHT Studio partner projects. And a little Hiya Toys Aliens/Predators, and my kid has been getting Dragonball Z Shodo 4".

reminds me of the look my girlfriend gave me when she saw for the first time my 3.75...collection.

then I showed her my baf groot....."I'm what they call a grower, baby."

I don't normally like to bring out the more obscene things around here, but given that panel, an exception shall be made.

[Nayt Navare]

Deserved.

[Autobot_Goldbug]

not even anything on the Capcom Marvel 2 packs

and who keeps wanting those giant 12 inch figures?
those are constantly on the shelves taking up lots of space

This ain't the first time I bought stuff from Aliexpress I know almost everything is a fake and I only paid like £3 for him but still is a bummer. Can anyone recommend any tactics to make his hands a bit tighter?

Try dipping them in water that slightly cooled off from boiling point for 5 seconds. That will soften the plastic making it pliable. Immediately after either 'squeeze' the hand to desired position and hold for a few seconds (but not too long, a bit less than it was in the hot water) and plunge straight into cold or even ice water to 'freeze' your new position.

Alternatively, instead of the squeeze and freeze, you could dip it in even cooler HOT water (boiled then wait 45 seconds) place his pistol in the hand you just made pliable and wrap a small rubber band (like a loom band or small hair band-smaller is better) until he is holding it like you prefer. Just let him chill for 24 hours before removing band.

When people tell you that a release you already knew about was a new item when you're actually a 3 3/4 inch collector and know this crap:

THATS THE ONE I SAW, the one with the dudes ear in the way! Glad you found it, it will be taken down soon though.

So I woke up at 3:30 am to see the post panel reveals (#SadPanda) and after scouring the web for an hour I m over it.

Some positive SDCC vibes:
New Stranger Things trailer
Ben Affleck hopefully NOT going to be Batman anymore
Walking Dead panel paying homage to Romero
Seeing Triton from Inhumans TV show
Wishing that Ghostrider bike was in our scale
My favourite SDCC moment happened right here in my own home. After showing my son the Skittle Pools he summed it up with two perfect words.... absolute rubbish.

And with that, my new tag line for SDCC 2017, I bid you ado gentlemen. Going to take pictures tomorrow of our new stuff and post some worth looking at. My brain hurts and my heart aches after that panel.

[snake5289]

At least the JL trailer was cool.

[Regardless]

Bummer of an SDCC, especially for the 3.75. It's the only scale I buy

[MUfan97]

Well, I know I'm posting a lot, but go from 3:52 onward, and prepare to be slightly triggered soon.

Oh Dwight...I think this is the SDCC that finally makes me fully despise you.

over at the 6" thread he's dwight the might.

[Parademon1]

I got into the 4' MU in 2010 I believe. Thanks to the IM line. When. I saw that 4' scaled classic Crymson Dynamo & Army building Guardsmen; I was hooked! But as soon az they started cheapening out on the articulation and removed the waist & chest swivel yet raised the price; I quit the line & have been steadily selling off my 4' MU collection since last March. I got back into the 6' ML line with the Pizza Spidey wave & have been collecting in the 6 " scale since then. I really hope Hasbro does a 6' classic version of Crymson Dynamo & classic Guardsmen; cuz I would love to army build them
