Would it have been too much effort to do something significant?

More than likely yes. It IS Hasbro we are talking about.

Gamora's template is the same but they used mildly different shades of the colors. I think the individual release used stronger and more striking shades over the multipack's somewhat soft/muted tones.
Rocket actually sports a different facial paint pattern. If you compare it to the original the multipack version's face uses the same pattern as the 6" scale EE set (like from his appearance with Sam Nova) whereas the original's face pattern is like the 6" BAF Rocket's face.

For MU I like the comic pack Starlord the best... the white trim really stands out IMO. Also... I gave him Longshot's head... don't know if that is an accurate comic look for him or not, but I just think he looks cool like that.

What I noticed with Gamora:
Red stripes on hips

Rocket:
Red eyes, brown belt (or maybe his was black and the other's was brown. I forget)

I really want that Drax!!! If anyone picks up the set and isn't keen on him, hit me up please.

I dig that long shot head on him JINX, looks ace. Who is the girl next to him on an Avatar The Last Airbender (? Maybe) body?

No, it's from Dr strange. I like to preserve ROM whenever possible.

Also i hear you on that blue for shield. Id love to gwt my hamfs on a matching blue .

That shade is a Tuscan Red from Americana. The blue is Uniform Blue. Works good enough for me as a shield uniform color and isn't as bright in person as in the pic. Victim of flash wash.

You guys saw the front page, yeah? HasCon exclusive reveals.... we are 0-2 for Con exclusives so far. Granted, there MAY or may not be more announced, we have yet again (as of now anyway) gotten the shaft again my lads.

I think they are "saving" the Thanos pack with NERF gauntlet as a big reveal. Or just chuck it out there last minute like they did with Pool Party Pack at San Diego. That could very well be all that we get. Seems to be more geared towards interactive games and such and family atmosphere rather than toy reveals.

What if the twist is that we're gonna DOMINATE NYCC this year, with a 3.75 inch diorama and everything, and Dwight's gonna be all:

ukmu · 07-28-2017, 02:29 PM

If only 3.75" collecting were a M. Knight Shaymalan film.....

Il Cattivo · 07-28-2017, 03:23 PM

sdcc panel

Somebody at TRU screwed up and I am now the happy owner of Skruge/Enchantress and Thor/Hulk.

I keep hoping... What is the scheduled release date for those?

CCC.

MeLikeJinx · 07-28-2017, 07:41 PM

The Gladiator Hulk and Thor don't have waist articulation though right? That majorly sux.

LordMudd · 07-28-2017, 07:42 PM

We really need a Dwight Stall action figure, in 4 inch scale only, complete with horrifically gory death action feature!

CCC.

Bluenope · 07-28-2017, 08:03 PM

Correct, no waist and Thor's left arm doesn't move much as well.

The release date is August 1st.

Lot if hate flowing for Dark Lord Stall right now. It is, painful to say, rightfully so. A week after the Con with no reveals, the Pool party did not even get hi-res press release photos, not a peep in the panel, and he ACTUALLY laughed when 3.75" was mentioned in a random YouTube interview.

I mean, shit on the line; hell even end it. Please don't mock us though. It was painful enough watching the announcement of 26 new 6" figures but the lack of respect and then taking the mick on top of all that? You sir, are well deserved of all these pics and so much more! Shame on you.

Il Cattivo · 07-28-2017, 08:50 PM

"deal with it"

Dropped again..... $5.85 per figure to your door.

Ninjinister · 07-28-2017, 09:01 PM

Between the obscurity and outrageous pricing, I'm not surprised I haven't seen any Crystar figures here. Thankfully I was able to find Moltar for a decent price. I'm afraid it'll be the only one I have for a bit, though.

Could you please link me to that interview, and Timestamp it if it's a longer one? I might need that for my rant.
