I am not going to want Sasquatch so he will up for give away or trade whatever happens first.

Yeah, that's the one. Does it have an official name? My mistake if I missed it.

Does anyone else wish that Hasbro would bring back toe articulation? Especially for squatting figures like Spiderman and wolverine. It's so hard to get them to stand or look good in a non kneeling squat position.

hasbroherofan · 02-06-2018, 10:23 AM

Agreed. I don't really miss the articulated fingers, but the toes have been a real loss.

Yeah. I miss it for certain characters.

I totally agree with not missing the articulated fingers. I feel like a lot of figures suffered because of them.

Jerseysteel · 02-06-2018, 10:56 AM

The fingers were really pointless anyway. They either looked awkward when closed or when opened depending on the design and couldn't really hold anything properly.

Zorglorfian · 02-06-2018, 11:06 AM

So is the clear / green Mysterio head a one-off thing or what? I'm hoping I get the green head.

Yeah, I know, but given this is a toy they should have given him the cool armored look, especially since everyone's clamoring for that. I haven't met too many people who are psyched about his lack of armor in the movie.

And...true. I hope we get more/better ones.

Funny I'm in the opposite opinion on both. I don't miss toe articulation at all but I feel that you could create a lot of "expression" with the finger articulation there. Probably not quite the right word and nothing dirty intended....it just was something I liked that we don't have now.

Parademon1 · 02-06-2018, 01:44 PM

Toe articulation tends to get flimsy after a while & it'll be hard for your fig to hold a pose after a while. The ankle side to side pivot helps with getting very cool crouching poses. Anyone know if there is a video review of Sasquatch yet? All I see are reviews of Cable, DP, Deathlok & Domino so far.

Hey in case anyone here isn’t into there second mortgage yet, Walgreens mr. fantastic has been sighted... hasbro, ya need a kidney or what?

Trivial Psychic · 02-06-2018, 02:00 PM

^^ You beat me to it...wonder why Hasbro is in such a rush.

Unless they have some kind of major announcements, Toy Fair is gonna suck.

kylactus · 02-06-2018, 02:04 PM

Line reboot? They do have a way of killing things right as they hit there stride.

Augustus_Cole · 02-06-2018, 02:07 PM

Wish me luck my friends!!!

Harbinger · 02-06-2018, 02:14 PM

Richmond i heard. I never saw any medusas near me so i didnt bother looking.

Captain Nash · 02-06-2018, 02:25 PM

Good god. it's all hitting all at once! Next we'll be hearing about the X-wave being sited, also still before Toyfare....

SymbiSpidey · 02-06-2018, 02:35 PM

Going into work tonight....maybe Mr. Fantastic will be there. It'd be a very pleasant surprise.

TOE articulation should be sparringly used due to it getting loose....but all Spidermen released needed it. It's an even bigger concern that Spidey has awful hip range and the lack of a boot cut has limited his posing. All this time, Hasbro couldn't have given Spidey a dedicated lower leg?

I think the Hasbro Spidey have mostly been trashy...and I am probably in the minority in my thinking, but he cannot crouch in his 3-4 pt stance well and has trouble with the splits.

It's a year of six Marvel movies (Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man & The Wasp, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Spider-Verse and Venom, with the New Mutants as well before that was pushed back) that they are interested in cashing in on to some degree or another. Hasbro is never one to leave money on the table where synergy is concerned.

7 with Deadpool....your point still stands of course, that only reinforces it.

I'm surprised they are releasing Mr Fantastic during their sale period.
