And I should have mentioned Anthony, a late-to-the-party steed that you can't play with else he falls apart. But its nice to have him.

He is also nice in a horror capacity if you are a fan of Them or Empire of the Ants.

If the shits hot it demands retail, or above, have you looked at secondary market prices on, well everything? Too much product is forcing people to compartmentelize, show me one ML compleationist... everyone picks and chooses, and usually the same thing. So you got a hundred people fighting for a 90’s cable, but the store is so clogged with Netflix punishers they only order one case, so he goes for 90$ on eBay...for a week or two, then he floods in as the last shit clearances out, but no one wants him any more because three more waves dropped in the mean time... I like both scales, but I can also smell shit heading for the fan, as I’ve said before though, I think 375 will be back, then 6” will hiatus for a bit, then it’ll come back and we’ll shut down again...

turned up at cons,got in touch directly with hasbro creative at every chance they had,made videos starting a campaign to bring it back,didnt start a dwight stall witch hunt and certainly paid to have a right to an opinion.seriously bro legends has completionists,guys in there have collections that would just make you quit because they are so vast they push beyond the completionist tag.

lol MU launched in 2009,enough with the fake news bro!!!
most of you didnt even know who dave vonner was back in 2013.

[kylactus]

Yeah, but I think you’d find many many more compleationists in our scale, than the 6”. Again not trying to dash your 6” delusions of grandeur, but most people just don’t have the room, or the finances to pay over a grand a year on figures, that for the most part are minimal tooling and slight paint differences. but on a long enough time line the survivablaty of everything drops to zero, consumers as a whole have the attention span of gnats, markets ebb and flow, what’s hot today is forgotten tomorrow, I got a loose solid vision MIP from eBay for 11$ last week. And check out the high price and rare toy biz figures aftermarket prices the second hasbro announces a redo. You can’t give the damn things away! There are a number of reasons I like the 375 scale, playability, room they take up, display potential, and it’s just classic, to name a few, again I’m not a scale queen, and I do collect legends, but I see hasbro missing the mark by shitting on this scale, they don’t always get it right, they’ve spent most of there time in buisness a couple weeks away from bankruptcy for god sake! And if you think a concerted bitch campaign from a few “you tube stars” and loud mouth snowflakes with bad attitudes stalking hasbro reps at cons affected anything your dreaming. Hasbro still hasn’t really caught on to the adult collector concept, god help em I think they’re really starting to try, but the higher ups are still focus group, and child oriented.

XMO was 08 sweetheart, and I was collecting SHS before that, I have a fairly complete collection, plus I’ve had the opportunity to talk with Dave, plus I use to read toyfare we’ll before all you wanna be fan boys started fat fingering your keyboards in a feeble attempt to understand the universe, so if you want to take someone to school on this shit I suggest you find someone else, I’m about as close to a professor of 375 as you’ll find jack.

[K Dubious]

I like how people research Marvel Universe and believe it was the first Marvel 3.75" figures. I have 3 or 4 XMO figures that obviously paved the way for the vast line we had, but a few of the original MU figures used parts from the XMO line and even had the 2008 stamp in their mold!

if you are including joes and star wars in the 3.75verse then you have a point but we are talking marvel universe/infinite/legends 3.75 here so lets try focus on that.legends switched from toybiz to hasbro,a few waves where hit and miss,the line got put on the shelves for a year or two but regardless of a few "bad eggs" whoever they may be,the decent collectors did a great job getting it up and running again.

just to quote you dude "I do not recall in all my years of hunting MU, from 2008-2017" you did say MU,dear! and regarding xmo 3.75 just to quote the professor of 3.75
"XMO was 08 sweetheart"
https://www.figurerealm.com/actionfi...emlist&id=1077
did they release the figures a year before the movie?sugar dumpling!!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men_Origins:_Wolverine
as george takai would say "oh my!!!!!!.........."

[kylactus]

The collectors had nothing to do with it, hasbro has said they shelved it so they could do a complete overhaul and refocus of the line, mainly to reestablish the brand and give new collectors a chance to get on board, and to differentiate it from the toy biz stuff.375 was vonner’s baby. He got canned, Dwight came in, he personally preferred 6”, so the 375 fell off, and 6” got all the attention. When did I bring up SW, or ji goe? BTW The first marvel 375 were actually the 84 secret wars line ( unless you want to go back to me go pocket heroes), which I still love.

Yes, they did actually, if you owned any you could look at the stamps on there legs., 2008, I’m holding one right now. but that’s what you get when you rely on the internet for your info. Again boy don’t take the prof to school, you’ll get paddled, but I guess that’s the difference between living it, and googling it. As far as me saying “MU”,
I did, and still do group XMO and the other movie lines as MU. Like how you call the early toybiz stuff ML instead of the proper Spider-Man legends, hulk legends, etc. sorry for my grammar error sweet cheeks, I’ll endevour to not offend your delicate Scottish sensibilities in the future.

please allow me to quote myself "if you are including joes and star wars in the 3.75verse" emphasis on the IF!!!where did i exclusively state that you actually mentioned those lines???
why are you telling me stuff i already know,i mentioned that vonner,legends stuff a few years back in here.and if you really knew SW from the 80s they were actually larger than conventional 3.75 scale at that time.

[kylactus]

Your quote” if you are including joes and Star Wars” why would you bring it up only to say don’t bring it up when I never brought it up? Then you go on to bring it up AGAIN ! Are you insane or just drunk!

[kylactus]

Yeah I’d say I have a mild farmiliarity with the brand, didn’t know we were debating the slight variances of scale from one line to another, but feel free to drop those Higgs of info when ya got em doll face... and my bad earlyer SW is generaly Star Wars round theses parts...

Yeah, but I think you’d find many many more compleationists in our scale

the above is what you said i perceived that as 3.75 in general because lets be honest you did not state there are more completionists in the MU community than there are in the legends community,you were being ambiguous and vague!
i think that its just you being a complete idiot and doing the classic american thing of being right all the time EVEN when you are wrong!

[kylactus]

We were talking about MU and ML... that is what this threads about right? And since you called me an idiot and dogged my country in one euro trash arrogance ridden statement I’ll feel free to now tell you your just about the moist pretentious piece of, what do you call it, “shite” ive ever seen attempt to string a thought together. You tried and failed to correct me, that makes you wrong, and your super butt hurt, I get it we can’t all live in the greatest country on earth! The one that gave you marvel and hasbro by the way and saved tour ass from the nazis, show some semblance of respect Nancy.

OMG it said 2008 on the legs???well gee whizz i guess thats the year it was MANUFACTURED id imagine late 2008 at that to coincide with the 2009 release of XMO wolverine movie.but just because you NEED to be right ill play along with your overactive imagination.but wait a minute i remember seeing xmo figs on shelves back in 2009 around the time xmo hit theaters i was working in a comic shop then and guess what we sold as well as comics???action figures.....and certainly DO NOT remember seeing xmo before MU.lmfao XD
tell me this will you paddle me in your creepy rape room perhaps your wife can spy on us through the peep holes???and who the fuck is scottish?i certainly aint........oh and i am not british either XD

[kylactus]

May 1st 2009 is when the movie hit ( XMO just so you don’t get confused) the figures were released November 2008 I know that because I bought them at a BX in Guam when I was stationed there in 08 jackass, I guess figure distribution is just about as slow in your neck of the woods as your ability to read and process information. Don’t make me get my paddle again boy... sorry for miss guessing your nationality, I assumed from your misspellings, false sense of superiority obvious lack of education hate for America and utter ignorance you were some kind of euro trash. My bad poopsi.

lol i love how you think YOU saved me from the nazis,sorry but i believe it was my people who also fought that fight against tyranny and strangely enough it was my land that gave america its greatest WW2 soldier,so stfu and stay in your lane son!talking about a world you know very little about!america the greatest country?lol its like every other country it has good people and idiots like you who give it a bad name.

[kylactus]

Greatest soldier, a assume you mean Captain America! Little boy, while you were clerk at a comic shop I was in Afghanistan, Iraq and parts of Africa doin shit in service of my country you couldnt wrap your pee brain around. So know your role, and as far as WW2 there were many brave men from many countries serving, but America did win that shit, without us you’d be goose steping right now, read a fukin history book ass hat.

lol you be the one assuming all night my friend,and tell me since when did it become an issue for a fellow soldier to do some side work in a comic store?what you think you are the only guy to serve his country?i served in places like chad,lebanon,lybia under gaddaffi rule years ago,how old did you think i am?and for the record im grateful to the brave people that fought that war not some individual country.great sacrifice came from many countries for this "freedom" we have today.so be more respectful!!!
