Hmm. Perhaps you ought to research factors like the lights in your room, humidity, and etc. Maybe something slipped past the case and got it a bit dirty, and you just need to wash it a little bit.

In these austere and scarce times I know I probably shouldn't have but I've modded my Falcon - added swivel wrists, some silver and red paint apps to match the picture on the packaging, and removable goggles for the Mackie head. LMK what guns you use - I'd originally thought they were Uzi's but Falcon uses large calibre pistols.

I think I saw something that said the new articulated Spiderman is using the same buck as Daredevil. Does anyone know if that is the same buck as Steve Rogers? And does anyone else have an issue with the legs on that figure constantly falling off?

In the ultimate verse he made black widow an all black armor similar to his in that realities. Not much was done with it. Iron maiden was one of the names someone joked about her using if she decided on a name change

The body started with the Jim Lee Cyclops but yes Commander Rogers and the newer Daredevil also use it as well as a lot of other figures. I think I have like eight or nine of the figures that use that same body and none of mine have ever had any kind of limb problems (falling off or otherwise). For me it's the slimmer Iceman body that's always had little issues with the hips. My X-Force Iceman, Scarlet Spider, and Cloak all had a leg pop off at the hip coming out of the box, thankfully they pop back on with ease.

Only consistent problem I've ever had with that buck is the feet being a bit small towards the back, which makes him hard to stand without practice.


And yes, it's the same one as Steve Rogers.

[LordMudd]

Had this body lying around from a custom I needed the head for a long time ago and no idea what to do with it, then I had an inspiration last night.

Commander Britain.

The idea is retro-sci fi-rocketeer.

Guys like Shartimus Prime who have a loud voice in the reviewing game are not fans of 3 3/4.


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.

I just thought of a question for Mister Stall: If real collectors don't collect 4 inch scale, why does the 4" thread have over 6 THOUSAND more posts and over 6 HUNDRED THOUSAND more views than the 6" thread does?
Interesting little factoid there...

Its most likely Because we don't have to buy a full wave of figures to collect and connect a build a figure. If we so chose we can decide not to purchase any number of figs with no fear of missing out on a slightly larger figure.



Dammit I done f'd up. I broke the tail off the ass off one of my hiya aliens what's the best glue to put it back on?

He can't even blame time on this one. Both threads were started at the same time on the same day. I just checked.

Is that counting both threads on 3.75" appresh (before the old one got locked down due to too much OT)?

Because this forum displays a preference 4" but is a very small sample size that's not indicative of the market as a whole? You could just as easily point to the overwhelmingly disproportionate discussion on 6" figures as compared to 4" on Fwoosh.

Where is everyone getting this stuff that Jesse Falcon is in charge of the line now btw? He doesn't even work for Hasbro. He's Director of Merchandising for Marvel Entertainment. He works with Dwight who is the Senior Design Manager for Marvel brands for Hasbro on all the products, Legends of all 3 scales and role-playing items like the Captain America 75th Anniversary Shield.

Yeah, and someone mentioned it below your post, but you are relatively new and might not know there was another MU thread before this one, much drama ensued, people were banned, yada yada yada.

But that thread blew legends out of the water, and on most every other toy forum out there the same is true.

I'll always prefer 3 3/4 inch for a laundry list of reasons, and lots of other people are pretty passionate about it as well.

Did you get it from BBTS? If so email customer service, I broke the arm at the elbow joint 5 minutes out of the box. I told them they should probably expect many other emails reguarding these HIYA aliens because they are fragile as fuck. They offered to replace it.

Dope figures, but fragile as hell

Most every toy forum that has a six inch and 4 inch thread had way more traffic on the 4 inch when MU was really rocking and rolling. Things have changed now because they destroyed the line, but 4 inch had a lot more passionate fans for a long time.


Honesty I was mentioning Falcons name because I saw someone else mention it and I figured they saw some info about it somewhere.

I've since watched some comic con videos and it looks like Bobby Vala is now in charge of MU. He said the fans should be excited about what's coming and that articulation may be returning. A few of the NEW figures they showed (Hydra Cap and That awful looking iron man) did in fact have chest articulation. Maybe things are looking up.

[LordMudd]

New here, but I have been on other forums for some time, particularly AFI.

This does not explain why I can walk into a Walmart right now and see 5 feet length of full pegs of 6" and not one single 4" figure ( I know because I bought the last one and it was a 5 PoA Ultron for $1.50 ) but he is going to say real collectors only collect 6." Maybe he needs to charter a bus and bring those real collectors down here.

*Gasp* So you're saying insulting Dwight and talking about sending him threats and worse is actively making fans look bad and no wonder many of us get ignored if we act that way towards him?
What a shocker!

Thank you for clarifying that. Misinformation and twisting words seems to be the norm to create mob mentalities and perpetuate hate when we should be celebrating the line, the offerings, and the many more to come still.

Marvel seems very pleased with Hasbro overall, and it's likely going to keep being a decent partnership of product lines for a long time to come.

It's not like Toy Biz exists anymore at all, and would we really want Mattel to make them with their V-cut leg articulation for female figures?

Hasbro has given us 7 years of amazing figures, rejuvenated legends, and is still looking to give us some great 4'' figures and even expand the line with vehicles like we asked for. They lowered articulation a shade(wrist and ab crunch disappeared for awhile but are making a comeback), but they did up the amount of independent sculpts like we asked for too.

Maybe we should cut them some slack instead of piling on the hate. So they can wade through various forums to try and find what we want to help them instead of checking in and feeling assaulted for trying to give us what we asked for.

These are toys after all. It's not the end of the world. They do have to follow market trends and deal with retailer relationships, and run a business ya know. Give them some breathing room.

This is a market where they have to balance not getting stagnant and finding a way to rejuvenate the line while still keeping sales up. They do have to factor making material that sells, but also making material that can be sold again later too. I honestly half expect a new rendition of Captain Marvel when closer to that movie's release. Probably higher articulation and maybe even a neck hinge like they had on Ironman's so she can do flight poses. Added reason to repurchase a figure you may have already bought two of.

As for the complaints previously on Legends packaging for BAF limbs. Dwight is right. That one's on retailer security. The packaging 6'' legends uses now is directly because of fan demand for boxed packaging in the past for many reasons. We're literally seeing fans complain about getting stuff they asked for. So let's take a step back, take a deep breath, and try this in a kinder way to tell Hasbro how we'd like to see the line evolve within reason and the abilities within the scale.

Like I'd love to see that Sister Grimm released in 4'' but I recognize the fact that the way 4'' figures are made, it couldn't be done with the arm swap method the 6'' offers. So I'd personally prefer the more modern Avengers Arena caused Witch arm design.

And if they're doing vehicles soon, what vehicles would we like to see? Personally I'd absolutely love seeing the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider car done with him included. Especially with him set to appear on Agents of SHIELD, that'd be awesome!
