I just got back from 2 stores that carry the Batman line and still haven't seen the other DCs at all.

Never knew gamma irradiation removed your genitals. No wonder he's mad all the time.

Walmart and Target are where I've been (they're right next to each other :P). I haven't even seen the Batman line at Target yet, I just know they're supposed to carry them. Walmart has the larger DC figs but not 4". Just Batman.

In terms of not doing 3.75 at all, I guess, but both of those franchises also still do stuff in other larger scales. Like I said, 6" and 7" seem to be the preferred scale for collector figures now, unfortunately. Though the slowdown on Vintage Star Wars stuff isn't encouraging on Hasbro's overall view of the scale.

As to how they scale somewhere between dcih and young justice/ JLU figures if that helps.

Oh God, same, you have no idea. Only thing is House of X/Dawn of X et. all didn't really go with much in the way of new designs which is the one area that it was a little bit of a let down in. Though I wouldn't have loved a Charles/Erik 2 pack, and Monet. Marauders Kate Pryde, Kid Cable, White Knight Callisto, X Factor Rachel & Polaris, New Mutants in general(but esp. Dani's current design) would all be amazing too.

Huh?

Mattel + Viacomm also said there'd be "multiple categories" and "role play" (their exact words). Back on topic. So the classic Marvel comic G.I.Joe still has fans who love the classic 3.75 inch scale. Here's a Joe vidcast "Full Force" explaining (in their words) how Top Gun relates to Joe and 3.75 appreciation,

Uh...what?

They didn't even do most "current" designs when the line was still running. I wanted X-face Cyclops and Superior Spider-Man, just to name two. And I'd have assumed at least one or two AXIS redesigns would have come out outside of Tony.

I still want a Spider-Gwen.

I dont really care for the video,as i wont be dipping into the line to expand on my MU universe.
Outside of army building why would i need a 1:18th fighter jet?fiercely impractical.maybe use some figures for ironman customs like jumpsuit rhodey or some general ross goons.but nothing more.

Id imagine they would be turning up in ireland soon enough.im off into the city today to check out some stores.seen one of the robins scaled next to an MU spidey(one of the taller versions of spidey),its a good scale next to it.

Apparently there were 3.75” Marvel gamerverse digs at toyfair that Hasbro forgot to mention:

When I was buy & collect focused I would have hated that. Hasbro already was/is too hero focused. I mean look at how many Cyclops figures they already made and most of his outfits look the same. I would have preferred more villains to complement all the hero figures they over produced.

Pretty sure they're making a 4-pack of those guys.

Serious question, what's the fascination with that character? I loved Into the Spider-Verse and I still have no interest in the character, much less wanting a figure of her. Is it just because it's a version of Gwen Stacey? I don't get the appeal.

At 1:18th scale? If so sign me up. It's getting impossible to find non-prof x type suits at this scale.
