Target actually sold out of the movie pack but the neighboring TRU still had a movie set so I got everything in one trip. The Hulk is pretty great to me except for one thing on mine, they didn't paint the top of the sandal on his right foot. You can see it in the picture, they still painted the rest of the sandal but the straps on the top are just the same green as his skin. Aside from that bump in the road though I love finally having a Planet Hulk figure since I missed the MU one. The Thor is definitely smaller than he should be but I suppose it's not terrible since he is still almost as tall as figures using the Jim Lee Cyclops body. I like the design enough to be content with it. My Enchantress is okay but since every other one had chameleon-eyes there wasn't really going to be a clear winner, the general sculpt of the head is a clear improvement on the old comic pack so finding one with even decent paint is quite an upgrade IMO. Skurge is the best of the four, literally the only downside for me is that it took so long to happen. None of the ones I saw had perfect paint on the body armor but none were bad.

@ MUfan97 Fast forward to the 7:45 mark, there is a 3.75" collector that expresses our concerns.. nervous Dwight is a good description and he spits out a classic line of bullshit. I haven't even bothered to watch this years SDCC presentation as I don't think they talked about 3.75" other than that rainbow squad deadpool set.

No guarantees, as they will probably be gone from the 1 I found them in, but I will try to check another 1, pal. Target's don't always all mark stuff down at the same time.

So, basically, the ML Hasbro team still wants to keep 4" price point down .............. To protect encroachment into their 6" market is the only logical answer.

I normally dont gripe on articulation but Thor could have used some wrist articulation so he dose not look as weird when holding either his hammer or his sword.

Finally around to taking a picture of Kang chair. It only fit into my Ant-Man shelf. Close enough.
This stands are usually a let down because they fall apart easily. But in this case it works really well.

Also, if anyone knows where I can get a scythe for my Jack O'Lantern custom, I'd appreciate it.

This, and at the same time, they experiment with 5" kid lines, and Titans, and figures on ATVs.

Obviously the MU (now ML) 4" stuff is still "for collectors" since it is no longer apparent that is "for kids" as they used to claim. So why won't they raise the price and give us nicer figures that collectors want? To protect encroachment into their 6" market is the only logical answer.

Prem1x, I feel like Vortorios might have a scythe. If not possibly Angel Forge.

Ukmu, The argument I see repeated is that it's not so much the plastic costs, but rather the tooling. Apparently it's the same amount to tool a 6" figure as it is a 4". My gripe is always this: if small companies like Boss Fight and Marauder can offer high quality figures for roughly $20 a piece at MUCH lower production numbers, why can't mainstream companies do the same at $10-15? And I mean every figure has articulation matching BFS. There really seems to be no excuse beyond greed or not wanting to.

Let's also note that Star Wars SA figures get the full articulation, and only cost about $12(which will continue through the Vintage collection), yet MU is probably the most mainstream 3 3/4 inch line, yet costs about $15* with LESS articulation?


Something is not adding up.




*using preorder prices for that.
