With the luck you have, even if the TRU's did close, their exclusives would somehow fall out of a cargo truck 200 miles away, bounced around the fields and streets, float along the streams, get picked up in the undercarriage of cars, and still land on your doorstep in perfect condition.

Local news posted an article saying that the stores will be liquidating remaining inventory, with sales beginning in February and continuing through March.

Not sure where they got that info, but it appears that the stores will close a lot faster than I thought.

I am really bummed by the fact that 2 of the 3 stores in the area will close, but the Babies R Us across the street from the bigger store will remain open??? The other closing is the newest TRU Express at a new outlet mall.

That's the one I use

Boy Blunder · 01-25-2018, 11:48 AM

So, anyone who has any of the Medicom MAFEX figures... the upcoming Gweenpool is so perfectly ripped from Gurihiru's artwork that I'm inclined to get her for my wife, even at the steep price tag.

My question is, while the figure is "listed" at 6.3 inches, people have been saying that's a standard listing for most, if not all, MAFEX releases, and is more a scale reference than anything else. So, anyone who owns any MAFEX figures, how do they scale with Marvel Legends?

Because while I still have every intention of picking up the ML Gwenpool, this one blows the Hasbro figure out of the water.

Augustus_Cole · 01-25-2018, 11:50 AM

Can someone, if you have them, put a Luke Cage head on the Sandman (preferably the SDCC version sandman) if not, the BAF one is fine and snap and post a pic.
thanks in advance..

It's pretty rare to see a perfect 3D representation of an artist's particular style, without it being a statue. Even the many DC Direct/DC Collectibles figures haven't been able to perfectly nail it.

i feel the same way about him. think he is a bad ass character. i however can't stand that outfit they have him in. i was hoping to find a white suit for him, but black could work as well. i think those suited WWE figures would be ideal but they are expensive on the second hand market.

Parademon1 · 01-25-2018, 01:17 PM

Hasbro would make a killing if they could do a series of packaged sets of just different variant heads of Marvel characters. For ex: unmasked comic based head sculpts of Cap,IF,DD,Wolvy,Scott,IM, along with battle damaged half torn masks head sculpts as well. Another set they should consider doing is an "power" display accessories pack with stuff like 2 different length optic blasts for Cyclops, one could be a long distance optic blast of say 8 inches, another could be closer lke 4' optic beam effect. Make laser eye beams for Hyperion & Gladiator. Some sort of flame throwing effects for Human Torch & Sunfire. I may be alone in this thinking but I'd buy those up in a heart beat!

The suit is open instead of closed, but JBL is a lot cheaper to get a light (grey) suit than the Vince McMahon figure. I also don't know if the JBL is going to be as large as the TripleH figure- but it's worth checking out

A collector called Tattooinesandworm found these listings on Brickseek, sounds like for some kind of Legends-related line.

Being a female figure- she should probably be fine. I've got Catwoman, Harley, Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, and Deadshot from the DC movie lines. all of those except Deadshot look fine with ML figures- for some reason Deadshot came out huge- they do run a bit taller, but on the gals that isn't very noticable (unless they pull another Deadshot and make her giant) if you're not in a hurry to be the first guy to have it- waiting for a youtube review of her (which will happen as soon as she hits of course)might not be bad- they're bound to compare her to the ML figures.

Yep, they would have my money on it. The heads are too interchangeable to not take advantage.

Is that TRU X-Men pack from 2013 worth owning?

I’m not blown away, but I could get it for a deal.

warmachine6 · 01-25-2018, 03:26 PM

varies on your costume preference, if you like your x-men like that go for it. It's hard to say when or if Hasbro will release newer versions in the future. Though bare in mind that the x-men are getting "the avengers treatment" this year , i tend to see what Hasbro shows us at toy fair, before buying anything. You can always go if you feel its a bargain and sell it later down the road ... I skipped it , mostly because i prefer the 90s or modern suits of the x-men rather than the 60's
