Agent bilbo from the 2 pack, maybe eather female BP or claw from the comic two pack. Or they’re real jerks, they’ll repack the new two pack Bucky minus an arm.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that, when ever Martin Freeman is in something, I cant help but see Bilbo.

A Dora Milaje army builder figure along the lines of the Nick Fury/SHIELD soldier would be amazing. Maybe Ayo since she has been in two of the MCU films now and two other DM heads.

Personally, I just see Watson.

Maybe they’re worried they’re overwhelming collectors so they throw in some variants to entice us and distract from fatigue?

I do like variants though, I think it spices the hunt up a bit.

Legitimate variants make me all warm and fuzzy with nostalgia.

Especially since the first one peg-warmed so hard (in my region, anyway).

In all the areas near me the actual movie figures tended to sell out. The peg warmers seemed to be Black Bolt and Iron Man (the latter due to being double packed).

Same with my area. Iron Man and Black Bolt galore.

[DarthKamen]

It's Black Bolt and Nakia here. With a few Killmogers mixed in.

[Veronica Mars]

Anyone know when the Hasbro panel is next weekend?

[SymbiSpidey]

One thought that occurred to me for the Black Panther wave:



Hasbro could do God Emperor Doom from Secret Wars 2015 because he fought the Illuminati during that story line.


Then it'd be an easy tease for a Walgreens Exclusive Classic Doom. It could also serve as a double (though not entirely accurate) for Future Foundation Doom.


There you go, Hasbro. You get 3-in-1. I'll accept money through Paypal please.

Thanks for the links. Nice to be able to get Red Skull and the Ant-Man and Thor 2-packs with a REDcard discount.

The reverse up here. Namor and Iron Man sold through, Black Bolt lingered some, and all of the movie figures sat on the shelves until they were put on clearance for $5 (and even then, I’m not sure if they actually sold or were moved on to liquidation outlets).

[En Sabah Nerd]

The only figures I can find from the BP wave anymore are Black Bolt (he's easily the top peg warmer of the wave in my area), Namor, and Iron Man. Even after the movie's incredible popularity it surprises me that people wound up clearing out Killmonger given the amount of complaining about his copy-and-paste design, plus he was two per case.

[kylactus]

Kilmonger is unique though, the sculpt is complerly different, and I’ve always liked the gold accents on the BP costume.... but honestly if I didn’t need him to complete The BAF, and if I knew at the time he’d get a re release with maskless head i’d Have waited..... by the way looking at the two pack makes me wonder, where the hell does allMichael B Jordan’s hair go in that mask?

The toy is using the wrong hair for that point in the film, by the time Erik becomes BP his hairstyle is changed to be more flush with his head and swept back. I still absolutely intend to get the pack anyway but technically it is inaccurate.

Never understood why people thought they were the same mold. I noticed from the pics. I even
mentioned my suspicions before the figs hit.

[EvilMonkeyPope]

Is Ronan going to be sold at any physical retailers besides Gamestop?

All the MCU BP sculpts have been awesome, I’d like to dry brush one with metallic purple or gold to bring the sculpt details out more but I don’t have an extra.

Plus, I doubt Hasbro would be commissioning a second wave of Black Panther figures (particularly since it's unheard of; even the prior A-listers like Captain America, Thor and Iron Man didn't get multiple waves*) if the first wave sold that poorly. Especially when, we saw that Hasbro has no problem not continuing with MCU film series that don't sell well, hence why we got Ant-Man and the Wasp in an Avengers wave instead of their own one.

*Captain America: Civil War got multiple waves, but was an ensemble film packed with other characters more akin to the Avengers flicks.

[kylactus]

Yeah, but there were news stories at the time about shortages of BP figures. A number of them had, (and I’m not trying to poke any bears here) “political” inferences. Maybe hasbro just trying to overcover there own asses as to avoid any appearance of bias? Just a thought, again, not trying to start anything. But that said, if we do get another BP MCU wave who cares why.

Quick question about Hasbro's Black Panthers thus far: Do you think the Walmart exclusive Black Panther is a good comic representation?

Also, for tonight's photo, we have Cable lighting it up!



Have fun, all!

Which one? IIRC, there were two. The classic Black Panther and "Pink" Panther. Both are great figures, just depends if you prefer a classic or modern look.

I think the one I was looking at was the classic BP. I don't know about the "Pink Panther." Well, in this context, anyway

Thanks for answering!

Have fun!

EDIT: I just looked up the Pink Panther. I really dig the head, but I'm not as sold on the figure as I am the classic look.

I agree. For example, certain Star Wars figures from the new movies, lingered on the shelves. One week it all disappeared from the stores and as you said, politics were the real reason why it was gone. If it stayed on the shelves, there would be articles, from the usual places, accusing fans of the usual.

I know a few lower level buddies who work at certain large toy companies and they know the bosses are not very happy with the sales of certain figures and are forced to lose money on figures they know will not sell, but are handicapped by progressiveness and the license holder(s).

I tried to keep it as vague as possible as I know what usually happens when certain ideology is challenged and hope it does not get deleted.
