New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

kostej · 07-02-2021, 06:18 AM

What's the scale? WHAT IS THE SCALE???

edit: of course, it is 6 inches...

Ninjinister · 07-02-2021, 07:33 AM

wtf do 6 inchers need a box set of new figures for the same characters they already have figs for? Come on this would be perfect for 3.75"

EDIT: Imagine how big that box gonna be at 6" each, especially with Vulture, and how much it gonna cost....

Wow. 6" figures with swivel hips and at first glace no wrist or ankle articulation. Good luck trying to sell them.

If it was 3.75 scale I would buy it in the instant, just for that Mysterio. Spider-Men would be donated to my nieces...

Such garbage to collect shelf dust while we just ponder so whatever making customs shall prevail

Same here. I'd probably keep the Far From Home Spidey though.

These look like the same company out of Vietnam that did the Walgreens figures. More large molds that can eventually be shrunk down to 3.75. The price point will be lower than say Legends figures too.

CCC.

I know I am a simpleton, but I do not understand how that makes more money as a 6 inch product than it would as a 4 inch product…Hasbro could probably sell it for the same price - and there’s less plastic and packing to produce. There’s is no one who wants this set in 6 inch. There is a fan bas who would want it in 4 inch. And I don’t believe for a second it would sell less because of parents perceiving it to be less of a value than 6 inch figures (that’s the excuse I get when I complain that the 6 inch basic lines/5 inch lines would do just as well at 4 inches).

It's made to come out with the new Spidey movie and to appeal to parents looking to buy holiday gifts for their Marvel loving kids.

It's not for collectors- it's for kids.

Super Joe · 07-06-2021, 12:48 PM

Clearances on toys are going on.
Vehicles for the MOTU origins line can work for Super7 375 as well.
Any other sales at the collectible, toy, clearance area?

Yeah, but why 6 inch? Why not do that in 4 inch scale, have it a little cheaper, taking less shelf space AND throw a bone to 3.75 collectors?

Madame Warlock · 07-07-2021, 10:56 AM

Any ideas on a base for a Sylvie?

Autobot_Goldbug · 07-07-2021, 08:04 PM

Black Widow movie comes out soon. Show us your Black Widow customs!

Sadly they did not give us Black Widow with interchangeable hair.

Then they gave out proto samples to retail buyers with the different hair styles.

Then the Iron Man movie set was nigh impossible to get. Plus the figure ended up much different than the prototype shown.

Now we are left without any 1/18th scale figures for this movie.

snake5289 · 07-08-2021, 10:11 AM

Not a custom but my go-to Widow is the one that came with the light-up base from TRU.

Can't wait for the movie but while we wait here are my
(2) different Widows with ultra accessories and multiple disguises...

Maybe you could fix up an old Avengers movie loki figure? The outfit might work and it's small enough to pass for female. Or maybe fix up an armored Gamora? You sculpt, if I remember correctly.

Mordiganne · 07-08-2021, 06:22 PM

Checked out the "What If?" trailer too. That show looks like it'll be great with the animation style and the cast reprisals. The VA for the Watcher is perfect. Definitely making a Captain Carter. What a great design.

And it'll give me a reason to use up another one of these shields.

Jason Abbadon · 07-08-2021, 11:04 PM

I wonder if super Peggy Carter will be Captain Britain?

Like this a lot! What's the base mech from? And how easy might the legs/lower legs come off? I can see replacing those immediately.

Is that a warhammer 40k base? It looks great
