rotting away like all those 3.75" movie lines and vehicles?or those sentinels and several MU waves?waiting to hit clearance!

edit.
but look back through the past 100 or so pages and you can see the love is definitely there for the line,the customs and set ups show the appreciation and effort people put into it and i respect those people for it.

As much as some people make it out to be an act of spite, I firmly believe that if the 3.75 inch scale was more popular and bringing in more cash than the 6" stuff, they'd still be making it. Even during the initial shift away from 6" figures towards 3.75 when Hasbro first got the Marvel license did seem largely motivated by falling sales at the time (largely due to the greatly decreased quality).

Vehicles? Never saw them. Must have sold out at my stores by the time I got there.

Price increases came before the reduction in articulation. Figures jumped from $7.99 to $11.99. Not mention distribution has always been a issue. Some stores missed waves entirely and some stores not carrying the lines at all. Those factors greatly impacted sales.

All of the movie lines sold well in my area. Initially, at least. It wasn't until they kept getting more and more after they sold that they started clogging. And then they just kept overwhelming the pegs because... I dunno really.

Never saw a single Sentinel or else I'd have one.

even though its not as articulated, the fake hulkbuster trumps the disney one imo. and its got smaller hands.

Makes perfect sense to me.

at least you will get the chance at those sentinels when they get re released as part of legends!but will you pay retail or wait till it hits reduction?

dont forget some of these 7.99 figures hitting ebay at 250 dollars at a time when you get 2 toybiz sentinels for less than that.

Is that what they said?
I really like the ryu and civil warrior

I wish they would release some 3.75” action figures instead of all this 6” doll bulshit

Ninjinister · 10-29-2018, 06:21 PM

Yeah that Ryu is amazing. Extra hands, removable gi, plus a Hadouken and Tatsumaki effect? YES.

Il Cattivo · 10-29-2018, 06:41 PM

agreed. dwight is the best!

I bought the Civil Warrior and Collector pack last night. It felt good to get something in this scale. I wish Hasbro would have run both scales concurrently. It doesn't have to be an either/or situation.

At least I refrained from calling him a neck bearded cuck boy. Progress!

I doubt we will see the Game Verse figures over here. Or a second wave.
