The only hope is that some other company takes a chance on 3 3/4 Marvel figures, because Hasbro has no interest in it anymore.

Jesse Falcon is apparently in charge of our line now, and people are saying that he has passion for this line. Probably won't reach the full glory days, but we'll get as close to it as possible if things go right.

I'd love to show him some of the collections that people have posted here and shove them in his face. How many of us have bought multiple figures because hey it'll make a great dio or I need one tiny piece to make more cool characters or this guy makes a great swat\team builder. Hell from my collection and to all of yours I've seen hundreds of boxes full of items bought and just can't be displayed because of space. We're not real collectors well frak it maybe we should have paid for this with not real money!

That's a nice shot. The Ghost Rider buck looks a little different.

I'm really happy about Morbius since we finally have a villain for Blade and Quasar is awesome! You can never have too many cosmic characters. I'n definitely considering picking up Hydro Man as well. Rogue had a lot of potential but didn't live up to it.

For a movie that clearly dropped the ball it gave us some pretty damn solid figures.

Our first Deadpool, Gambit, & Maverick.

Stall wouldn't know a real collector even if all of them ganged up on him throwing worthless 6" figures at him and chanting "I am real." the whole time!

I bet his boss or someone held him accountable and took him off the line... "Hey the quality has went to crap, we've gotten a ton of complaints and sales have went down. What's going on? We are taking you off the line."
I've seen shartimus grill stall over not using the old bucks.
I'm pretty excited to get that McFarlane looking spidey on the Jim lee cyclops buck. Jesse falcon was saying during the panel that he wants it to be THE best 4" spiderman in our collections, I thought that was cool. Of course Dwight stepped in and was like well that's not good marketing.

Then he needs to be fired. It is unprofessional and a detriment to the company to call another employee, even a subordinate, out in public. That sort of thing always happens BEHIND CLOSED DOORS!

I bought a cast of the Parker head from Vort, painted it all up, and as I was attaching it, the head fell from my hands and bounced.... somewhere. This was like 2 years ago and I still can't find it D:

I hope to someday in my planned toy designing career meet Dwight Stall and genuinely ask what the heckity heck is wrong with him.

Just saw Carl Urbans haircut for his role as SKURGE THE EXECUTIONER in the upcoming Thor/Hulk film.... fingers crossed we get the teased (from what feels like a decade ago now) comic version of him.

To be fair, he was joking with Jesse.

I don't know, Jesse Falcon or not, I don't know if we'll ever get our beloved MU back fully. I really hope I'm wrong, and a couple of the figure reveals were a small sliver of hope, but 6 inch seems to be where Hasbro wants to focus.

Just look at GI Joe, staple line, long history, passionate collectors who spend lots of money, and what do they offer them for the 50th anniversary? Nothing but repaints, not one new figure. I'm just waiting for the GI Joe legends line of 6 inch figures that I won't collect.

And Shartimus does not like 4 inch, he has said as much in videos online, when MU was beginning he was saying that Vonner who was working on MU at the time would prefer to be working on legends, and that the stuff that MU was getting should be on legends and that he hated MU.

Notice he never reviews any 4 inch figures. And the videos saying he doesn't like MU still exist on YouTube

The hinges of my Anti-Venom have started to yellow. I figured my collection was safe but I'm not sure if the light bulbs that it's in proximity of is harmful to plastic or not. I'm started to seriously worry about my collection.

I'm not as active on this forum as I once was, but I've methodicaly built one of the largest collections of quality MU customs around.

These are just a very small sampling of the highlights

Very nice customs.

How often do you handle it? Retroblasting(which is a highly entertaining channel, even if you aren't into retro stuff...They do have odd opinions of modern collectors, though)recently did a video on yellowing, with a connection to finger oils. I think it can also happen with modern stuff, since my Spin and Fly Tardis door sign is looking a bit yellow, and I've handled it a lot. Still, study all of the factors, and adjust.

I don't touch it that much. It's usually in a case unless I take it out just to admire the details up close, which I don't do often.
