The 1950s Avengers Venus was actually a siren who eventually earned the wrath of the real Aphrodite, Hercules' half sister, for using her name, but eventually talked her way out of it.

My phones battery is almost dead and my other cam sucks ass

I bet Sif said that too. Haha

I've noticed this is a problem on more figures these days than just Marvel ones.

I know its not marvel but man I cant wait to get these Mattel 3.75 figs for JP ... I hope hasbro sees how great a 3.75 line can be again

Hey buddy !!! Welcome to the site. I didnt know you do Marvel Customs also...sweet
UKMU CLEAN OUT YOUR MAILBOX !!

It's one of the reasons Hasbro keeps those 5 POA 5 inch Marvel figures and 5 POA 3.75 Star Wars figures, durability for children. Not to mention the 5 inch line replacing our 3.75 inch MU.

The 5 inch is a hit for smaller kids with clumsy hands and rough play. But an off-shoot is that adult proper Marvel Legend collectors are buying them also to custom use their head-sculpts and accessories. i've already seen a number of custom 6 inch Black Panther Shuri's and Infinity War Black Widows.

JOE will always be a classic 3.75 design marvel.

True. Hasbro's 3.75 void with all save Star Wars has other retail companies stepping up their game:

Lanard's Corps,

Mattel's Jurassic Park/World,

Jazware's Assassin's Creed.

i hope it further drives the message home to Hasbro's own Marvel Universe and GI Joe lines.

The only question is if most people will accept them. I mean, I love MU, but it had the unfortunate side effect of everything else being held up against it, and if it doesn't meet expectations to a T, it's considered crap.

I mean, don't get me wrong, Marvel Universe IS a great standard to compare stuff to, but I hate it when good products don't get the acknowledgement they deserve. Heck, I have a review series about it(gonna be two series' next year)!

That’s the message being driven home to Hasbro, not only is there still a market for 3.75 inch MU, but quality articulated MU figures.

Just this new year, Lanard & Jazware have produced quality 3.75 figures with more articulation, better sculpts, & accessories at affordable retail price points. Mattel is soon rejoining the scale as well.

It makes sense that Hasbro would at least reconsider MU with these standards in mind. However, their focus is elsewhere but 3.75 inch with even more 6 inch Marvel Legends offerings for collectors and 5 inch 5 POA Marvels for children.

Totally agree. I need a 3.75" plastic fix and as Hasbro don't do MU anymore and won't take my money for a Sail Barge I'll either continue to customise on a much lower output or spend my cash elsewhere.

OT: picked up a HiYa Toys 3.75" City Hunter Predator. So impressed with it I'm now scoping parts for Predator Customs.

This is where I'd likely fit in. I'm not a toy collector, per se, in that I only buy MU figures these days to make customs because it's a creative outlet. If I wasn't making superhero figures I would find another artistic outlet. So any other 3.75 toy line would have to be completely compatible with MU figures for custom making purposes or I wouldn't get them.

Though I doubt I'd consider other lines crap regardless. Marauder and Bossfight make some killer stuff. I'm still debating on getting BF's fantasy figures for other custom purposes. Eventually I'd like to make a castle siege diorama using their knight figures. Customized of course.

Rooting for the Predator.

To quote Mortal Kombat: Finish him!

If Batman could defeat a Predator then MK can too.

Plastic is still just plastic, right? and it still costs the same (per pound) no matter what size figure you make with it, right?

I just have a hard time accepting any business model that justifies a larger product requiring more material sold at a lower price that has a hard time selling over a smaller product requiring less material (and packaging) that continues to out perform the larger one no matter how high the price is increased. How can anyone be that stupid and still be successful?

Maybe the real question is; How long before Hasbro goes the way of the TRU Dodo? Maybe someone needs to ask Hasbro's Board that question. It might wake them up...but I'm not holding my breath. (I will volunteer Dwight to hold his though.)

Can and did!

EDIT: It has now dawned on me that you meant Moon Knight and not Mortal Kombat. In that case... I disagree.

Target has all 3.75 Marvel 50% off. I picked up Spider-Man UK.

If you can dodge a wrench you can beat a predator. ;)
