New Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

I wonder whether we might get a Sasquatch and Wendigo remold from the new Beast figure?
A bit like we got Abomination and A-Bomb from Rhino.

I'm sure no one would mind them being a bit smaller than they're supposed to be........

That would actually be a bad idea unless the put longer legs on them. I'm tired of bailing Hasbro out , just for the chance to have a figure. Less articulation, cheaper plastic, but you want to charge the same or more than before..No give us a proper scale Wendigo(one of my must have figure to be made)and do it right.
Also (drumroll......Realease F*****G !!!!! Skurge !!!!!!!

Emma first!

Ideally though, in the same wave. Hopefully the wave after the Northstar/Vulture wave. The molds are done for both of these, get 'em done Hasbro!

That's been mentioned as the plan before awhile back. No clue if that has since changed. We might get lucky though and they'll release Legends versions that'd be in scale to MU/MI. That'd be the better way to go. Or a mid-level giant battle pack or two packs that are the cost of the three packs because of the larger figure.

Considering how big the hulk figures are though. The beast retool seems more likely. If anything, maybe Marvel Now! will find a way to re-scale the character (via making a new character that uses the legacy name, like a kid/teen sasquatch or something) that Hasbro can make it be that one. Alpha Flight needs a relaunch and retooled team anyway to be updated with everything else. Wendigo can slide because the size often is dictated by being slightly bigger than whoever is infected with it at the time. So a little size variety in that is actually quite nice.

The Sasquatch from toybiz. I could deal with Wendigo maybe being this big. No smaller than Juggs/Apocolypse tho. I think he has to be bulky to work

Jan and Jessica offer Steve some cover art modeling tips

I was gonna tell you to stop by the LCS as they have that wave, but they raised their prices quite a bit. It's too bad hasbro doesn't seem to sell these at retail too much other than wave 1. DC multiverse is gaining ground quickly at least from my wallet.

Yeah I almost dooked my draws when I saw Rocket and Groot for $29.99. I paid less than that for the whole box set!

Glad I'm finally gettin' these. I pre-ordered back in March, I think.

Could not have said it better myself, fellow Arkster! In the past, I was willing to get a figure, just to complete a certain team or for the sake of completing a wave, but not any more! When Hasbro cuts back on the quality of the figures (articulation, face sculpt, paint apps, and etc.), I will not waste my time purchasing most figures from that wave or series.

That didn't stop Hasbro before~

Captain Mar-vell was deceased. Puck was deceased. And I'm sure there are others that Hasbro made as figures while they were deceased or incapacitated. Heck, Darkhawk got his first figure ever while he was in a coma in the comics. xD

Seems the extreme obscures finally start getting figures once they are incapacitated to a great degree. Just you wait and see! Wolverine will be dead soon in the comics, but you know he'll still get figures~ (Okay that was supposed to be a joke, but ya know it's going to happen anyway. Probably an entire wave of wolverines... That'd actually make a good april fool's day joke/cool box set. X-23 in her new All-New X-Men costume with the colored hair bangs, Sabretooth in his new suit, and Wolverine is his newer suit from the comics. Literally, a 3 pack of Wolverine...)

Since Exodus is now dead they need to get to work on his figure ASAP.

Darkhawk's toy was released in 2011. He had last appeared in 2010 in Nova vol.4 #36, and then didn't really show up again until 2013 in Avengers Arena. Technically we don't know for sure that he was in a coma, he could have been in space hunting the Raptors or maybe just on Earth with his family. Disappointingly when Abnett and Lanning left cosmic Marvel, the next cluster of writers who picked it up can't do anything nearly as well planned and set up. They also abandoned all stories that A&L left hanging for future issues. the only A&L story being touched on now is what happened in Cancerverse after it collapsed.

They think they're so hot haha

their work on cosmic marvel and hickmans FF and Fanstastic Four are some of my favorite reads in modern marvel.

I do too, that spiral looks fantastic.
Abomination was made well after he got capped by rhulk, not sure if he's been resurrected yet.
I found a dark elf and a couple kurses at Ross for $5 today.

Nice I think that is the first time I've heard of those showing up at Ross.
They were already at Burlington Coat Factory & TJX(Marshalls/TJ Maxx). Those places were already picked over though so I found no Dark Elves.
