New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

Super Joe · 03-31-2019, 08:31 PM

Attention customizers, an incredible idea from Wondercon cosplay. Why didn't any of us come up with this idea earlier? Master Mold, Galactus, etcetera. Anyone up for doing these? Such custom / cosplay would look grander with 3.75 figures,

So Hasbro is releasing some bigger sized kid's-meal-quality toys for the Endgame and yet nothing for us. Then they'll say boys' toys don't sell. What the fuck is going on in their management? (Rhetorical I know)

clearly your taste in skies is the same as your taste in toy designers. only the very best -- with just the right amount of dirty.

Have they ever claimed their boy toys for the Marvel movies didn't sell? They did that same scale for Black Panther, Infinity War and Homecoming, so I assumed the company must be fine with whatever return they're seeing on those.

According to sources at Mattel we have learned that former Toy Biz and Hasbro employee David Vonner who now hangs his hat at Mattel, and has quit a bit of experience working on Marvel Comic figures will be heading things up there for the Marvel brand. While 6" figures will continue under Mattel, there are also plans to bring back a new series of highly articulated 4" figures as well. The 6" figures will likely be done with a similar DC Multiverse design style, and the new 4" figures will be very reminiscent to those of Hasbro's old Marvel Universe line which Vonner originally headed.

Can anyone recommend a good, clear primer? I don't have any hobby stores nearby, but I used to be able to find some at Lowes or Walmart. Now, it seems like all the primer is paint/primer. I ordered a bottle of brush-on Vallejo, but it's grey. That's okay for most things, but I have a couple of customs that I just want to put a wash on too bring out some details.

I know. I couldn't care less who has what license but for a second I thought there was actually going to be a new MU line.

Foreddyn · 04-01-2019, 06:54 PM

Give it a few years that "prank news" will be true

There was an article that boy's toys were not as profitable as girl's were. But I'm just summarizing/paraphrasing here. And our scale just didn't have the pull it needed in retail as well.

I wanted to buy a mannequin and dress it up like The Living Tribunal. But space constraints and other difficulties prevent it. I did get a 30" figure as inspiration for Master Mold, Galactus and Anti-Monitor. Just haven't got around on how to make joints though.

Yeah I mean I always figured Disney would one day own everything, but 11 years ago if you'd told me Nickelodeon would own Ninja Turtles and Hasbro would own Power Rangers, I'd think you were higher than Snoop Dogg. That ain't even gettin' into some of the recent toy shakeups like MOTU not being at Mattel anymore. I have no special place in my heart for that line and I love that they're finally doing new figures on the movie but it feels weird for them to not have the brand anymore.
