Well it looks like Joe fans are moving into the Hasbro outhouse. No rumored Jazware Joes or even Hasbro 4 inch for Snake Eyes movie. Maybe still to come? But I doubt it.

Twords the end of Shartimusprime's video, he quickly passes a few figures which he says are 3 3/4 inch and look to be 5 POA-a couple Ironman's, Thor, a movie Taskmaster.

Are those legit 4 inch figures? Wonder why they were not mentions in the live stream.

[hasbroherofan]

Ms. Marvel, Thor, Taskmaster...is that War Machine in the background?

hard to mistake 4" with a different scale unless he's drunk or fucking with us.

[Autobot_Goldbug]

eh those look like the same style as the current FIVE INCH figures
yet it is somewhat odd I cannot find those anywhere else

so would Nimrod work for our scale?

I just hope someone shrinks that head. That's a really nice sculpt.

[Mordiganne]

I think Nimrod depends on which artist you prefer but also how scaled the toy is. It's hard to tell since it's next to a bent over Wolverine, but it might work in a pinch.

Yep.

Apocalyse too varies in height so the new AOA figure should work great as well.

Could be either with him.

Wouldn’t hold my breath. 6 inch does two packs now.

[Madame Warlock]

I'm guessing those figures are probably gamerverse too then?

I'm really looking forward to a Ms Marvel in this scale finally. I've been using the 6 inch version I got myself as an Eid present a couple years back and a little 3D printed version that came out too small. Will be fun to have all 3 on display.

Will probably go in for the Taskmaster & Hulk vs. Abomination too.

[Madame Warlock]

btw i always thought this had a good outline for a nimrod custom -



I kinda use it as a stand in

[Madame Warlock]

The Kamala figure is totally different. It seems like the new one has a different design. maybe based on a costume she gets later in the game. The other one seems to be a straight retool of the existing one.



Another theory is that this isn't the game Kamala at all and is based on the TV show.

[Harbinger]

Man this sux.....i picked up an mu abomb opened it up and sonuvabitch if the thing didnt have two right arms. ARGH!

[joefan76]

So we have a possible yet small 3.75 Marvel line and a pretty decent DC 3.75 line both at toyfair and no one is covering them? Dwight and his 6” Illuminati must be working over time

yeah there's something really fucking fishy going on here

[Foreddyn]

Wasn't it mentioned before that they are going to use the Gamerverse label for 6" now? Like they used the Legends label for 4" before.

Whoever thinks of these marketing name switching is a good idea is stupid. Confuses both sellers and buyers for more profit for them. Bitches.

[Madame Warlock]

yes, particularly trying to find Marvel Legends 4" stuff. it doesn't help that 3.75", 4", 4.25" are often used interchangeably, along with 1/18th, 10cm etc.

It's kind of bad from a marketing perspective too because i feel the lines should play more to their strength. with kids toys it's not so bad to just have multiple scales(which they usually do) because they get picked up off the pegs but with collector lines it gets muddier.
