Even the Target here in Slime City has the gamerverse packs. I bought Mr. Negative and yet another Spidey. I might pick up the Civil Warrior pack if it goes on clearance since I don't know the character and do not need two Collectors. Just doing my part to keep killing the line.
Jazwares making MK and SF figures drastically different within the same scale still confuses me.

Maybe. Would be easier of course to find a guy who would take it all.

Easier? $550 is a big chunk of change!

Sentry's head isn't good for Ken. His hair is way to long!
This Ken is really cheap on ebay...

It does need some filling to make it stay on.
I was also looking at Super7 Ken for the head.

[Il Cattivo]

I have that ken. the head doesn't match at all with the body.

Nice job on the Akuma custom,you could also do an earlier version of heihachi from Tekken,if you could find the right head cast!!!
seeing as akuma is in that universe!
a geek shop in my area got a bunch of those iron thrones at a great price,contemplating picking one up.they set up a GOT diorama but the GOT figures seem too big,perfect for 3.75".

The Jazzwares Guile looks too cartoony for my taste, I tried to go in a more realistic direction:

So awesome DerStahlhelm! I wish hasbro would make something like that!

Also I saw diamond Select Toys was making this:



I wish we got a doppelgänger, demogoblin and shriek made in our scale! Plus a good venom on the Hercules or Hyperion buck... or a movie venom.

For whatever reason with the exception of Star Wars the big time toys companies have black balled the 1:18 scale.

Hey guys!!!!

Been working on some set ups and will snap some new pics real soon. Sorry I havnt been around, got distracted for a bit but am back on the 3.75” sauce!

Been playing a lot of the Spider-Man PS4 game and can’t wait to get a Mister Negative! Been trying to build up a few red two pack Ultrons here and there. About to be able to finish up the man cave, but to be honest it will be finished probably after Christmas. Only so much time and money to go round.

Shooting for several mini-scenes instead of a massive diorama or just displayed by teams. Been hoarding bits and bobs for it for years now and think I finally ready. Been working on a couple customs and mild army building but have slowed to a crawl recently. Looking to jump back in and catch up on some back catalogue figures I missed and finish a few teams,

Jurassic World still was, and World of Nintendo still is.

Most are giving it some breathing space right now though. Market demand fluctuated. Right now market wants bigger. But the market is cyclical, and smaller will come back around again. Also depends on various factors and needs as well as line cost efficiency. 1:18th is typically better for vehicles and bigger side aspects, and the market doesn't have much of that right now, but later it should. That's what made Jurassic World work on 1:18th because the dinosaurs and vehicles are the bigger play factor with the figures needing to be budget friendly.

Not a bad thing. It happens with the market. We had a long push of 1:18th in the 2000s between Ben 10 and other lines, now it's getting a breather, and then we'll get another long run of 1:18th again. Though much of the new Ben 10 stuff does scale nicely still on a few.

True. As many of us have integrated ToyBiz's Marvel 5" figures into our MU collections in some form or another already.

By "Most", it's really Hasbro that's dropping the 3.75 inch ball here.

Lanard has soldiered on through the decades and Mattel axed their 3.75 inch DC lines years back.

While Star Wars is bringing back their Vintage Collection, their vehicles and playsets offerings have significantly dropped over the past decade. And "bigger" couldn't be more true, with the recent HasLab projects.

No one really knows when Hasbro's hiatus for GI Joe and Marvel Universe will end either. Outside of the recent GamerVerse two packs, which does NOT have any further news of late; We can only speculate a couple years from now.
But that doesn't quell the demand that many MU fans have now especially with the largest Marvel blockbuster movies and sequels, not to mention the end of an Avengers saga/cast.

As a result, kickstarters, back-collecting, and other brands are what many 3.75 inch collectors are up to now.
