Did it in 5" scale. Just need to give it a good undercoat of white.

Hello all I have survived another year of life and another Kentucky Derby.....

I have been lurking mainly due to the terribleness of what's in store. I feel like Hasbro is trying so hard to kill our line and will likely succeed soon. You all have seen the current comic packs warming and the new ones will sit for sure. Guarantee we hear something like "the stores asked us to sell one sized Legends figure to avoid confusion over reordering, and would prefer 6" due to the current sales numbers" which are skewed due to terrible distribution of Marvel Infinite and 3.75" Legends.

I paid $45 for Watcher, loose at a local peddlers mall, and he just so happens to be in this pic

As you can see the DIO is coming along so I'm not abandoning ship yet, but man I wish we got something better.

Kernel man I know you hate Legends, but honestly they are reproductions of Vonner's work. The Jim Lee Cyclops/Daredevil is the best articulated figure in my opinion and most legends are scaled up versions of those. That being said Legends are too big I want to display my army of figures and only 3.75" makes that possible.

Damn lucky find k dub!

redx24 · 05-08-2016, 05:45 PM

Just found out target has a jurrasic world pack that has starlord his motor cycle and blue in a set. Sadly I have to go back to return the head since I found out my friend decided to palm just the head for me.

I agree with everything you said EXCEPT I don't hate legends lol. I've tried to get into them but I just don't get the same kick out of them as the 3.75" ones... Wish I knew why. I actually pick up an occasional 6" figure as they can usually be had for cheaper than the 1/18 scale. I've found a ton of legends and other 6" lines at discount stores and have been known to snag one here and there.. I just wish the little guys got the same love. I hate buying a $20 figure for my kids... Just seems like way too much dough.

As for the confusion... I saw this sign at TRU today:

I agree about not getting the same kick out of the 6 inch stuff as the 3.75 stuff. I like them, sure, but each and every one of them that I have would be good in 3.75 inch form. Plus, 3.75 inch is easier for me to get as an online shopper.

That is funny because that is the 2 pack that sells out fastest here yet is my least favored of the 3.

Nice, that sales probably gone though

Ninjinister · 05-09-2016, 09:11 AM

I mentione something on a Facebook page about Hasbro not even making half of the superhero roster of Civil War in my favorite scale. Someone guessed that I was referring to 4" and I don't know if it's more amusing or sad about the accuracy.

Grippen · 05-09-2016, 09:27 AM

No news about the Black Panther and Agent 13 pack? No one found anything over the weekend?

I've been searching on ebay and also going to Toysrus.com almost everyday and nothing

I didn't, sadly. All of my non-existant kids didn't even send a card.

cobralord · 05-09-2016, 10:04 AM

Isnt Hasbro releasing a Civil War Falcon with huge wings backpack? Or has it been cancelled? This one.

I've been kinda wondering about that one myself. Perhaps they're gonna release it in the summer?

cobralord · 05-09-2016, 10:15 AM

Hasbro seems to have realised that 5poa for Avengers wont cut it. Shame they had to release Vision, Scarlet Witch and Ultron that way though in the Age of Ultron 3.75 line. I need them better articulated to fit with my other Cinematic Avengers.

Grippen · 05-09-2016, 10:28 AM

And then they complain things don't sell. You cannot put these things on shelves 2 or 3 months later. No one will remember the movie anymore, not to say there will be other movies with possibly other toys. Don't know who makes such decisions but that Falcon, Black Panther and Agent 13 should be out already. They even made a smart move of including Agent 13 with Black Panther since female figures sell less and Black Panther should be one of the most wanted.

But with these timelines "summer" or later its not a smart move. Not only movie is long gone but also people will be thinking more of vacations and spend money on them rather then on toys.

Just my 2 bits on this poor management of Civil War toys.

cobralord · 05-09-2016, 10:39 AM

Its does seem like Hasbro don't really care for the cinematic 3.75 figures as much as the 6" ones.

En Sabah Nerd · 05-09-2016, 11:06 AM

The lack of findings on the Black Panther/Carter two pack is upsetting since last year the AoU TRU 2 packs were all readily available by this point.

Upsetting to say the least. This is not even online, and many stores don't even know about it. If we knew its out there but only some stores have it is one thing, but a complete "empty" is really bad.

Well it's a hell of a way to prevent some asshole from stealing BAF pieces at least.
