Epic Heroes (Hasbro's "catch all term" for this scale, like 12" is referred to as "Titan Heroes") are "for kids".
Pulse, Pulsecon and most of Hasbro's initiatives are geared towards collectors, which have traditionally thumbed their noses at non-6" product, and especially things produced that don't meet the standards of "high end collectibles".

As a result of collector indifference (to outright hostility), Hasbro just doesn't talk about "kids toys" anymore outside of press releases for launches.

I find it...unlikely...that Hasbro will do much of a push for Marvels. The original Captain Marvel line didn't do much, and I don't see Hasbro putting too much in such a female centric film (and corresponding product line).
Especially with the all the leads of the film already at retail in the Marvel Legends format.

That said, I feel it probable that at least Danvers and Kamala will make it into the kid-Avengers line some fashion.

2024's first line is mostly re-releases with a new Thanos and a Steve deluxe figure

Did it get taken down? The link doesn't work for me.

Agreed...

I saw the epic heroes Carnage at gamestop yesterday and needed to use a $5 gift card... I was looking at it and realized it looks like ass compared to the Carnage from the spiderman line... it looked like it came out of a coloring book set. Easy pass

Hope this means the black suit Spidey will be out soon.

Possible starting point could be a fortnite joltara. Since the FN figures pop easily at torso, you could swap out mid-section or just add in something to be the lower portion of her clothes. Little paint on the hair and mask, head would be easiest part I'd think.

and I got mine! checked which store had them in stock & asked someone to get it from the back
they also have a $10 off a $50 toy purchase sale with target circle

Fortnite figures are generally just great, I kind of wish I cared about the original Fortnite characters I just pay as X-men and Kate Bishop lol

Some are pretty awesome. There are a number of them who are close enough resemblance to certain characters that with just a bit of paint and/or slight tooling can pass for other characters - joltara makes for decent kamala ms marvel, riptide head as is makes for a passable slade wilson/unmasked deathstroke, isabelle is a good start for a spoiler, the mask attached to raz's belt looks like a possible good fit for cheshire. The list goes on. Not lost on me that most of these are DC, not marvel, but that's just a few from top of my head.

I know I want some of them for Mr Negative henchmen

Finally found this set. Passed on the singles so many times because I couldn't miss out on Gambit. Really hope they continue the X-men 97 figures in this series. I NEED a Jean. Also, a danger room playset could be pretty impressive.

I think we need another 5 pack with X-Men villains

I think my Gambit's face is a bit un-centered

having seen their 2024 offerings already I just want to rage at the lack of female characters in this. The old school Marvel Universe stuff was bad enough, but somehow in 2023/4 after Captain Marvel made a billion we're still stuck on the "Girls don't buy Superheroes ��" shite.

As both a wimmenz collector and someone who babysits kids it's such horseshit, when it comes to the movies at least boys and girls go to see them.

You seriously think the kids I babysit that roleplay Skibidi Toilet wouldn't be able to get into Strong Glowy Space Lady? Come the fuck on. There's some Barbie Movie boardroom-ass cigar smoking chode, the same sort who decided he didn't personally like 4 inch figures so let's kill them, who chuckles at all the M-She-U memes and decided to put a hard cap on the number of female characters they can even make.

Thank God they're making those Ahsoka figs at least. I feel like I've given up on this shitshow of a line before we even saw any of them outside of the US.

I still do customs, I think Im almost at 3000, there is defo over 2500 in this gallery.

It is pretty brazen, and it's the same kind of execs I suppose that forced Iron Man 3's main villain to be male so they could sell toys (of which they never made toys of the main villain outside of Lego and Heroclix) and none of the female mutants other than Leatherhead getting figs until wave 2 in the Mutant Mayhem line (and also not letting April's figure get a single release until later, either, making her an exclusive to a multi-pack).

I really want to find out who is responsible for that because like with canning the 4" figures it was probably one dude with fucking stupid opinions

Had a big fight in the FB group over this from people who think that toy execs always make perfect decisions on what sells lol

Sounds like pretty consistent output! I took a break for years and have only just picked it up again.

I did this a few years ago and so decided to add to it:

If they make perfect decisions every time why does every line have stinky pegwarmers? ;)

Welcome back to the ark pilk! Good to see u back

What did u think of mutant mayhem ninji?

Nice customs primacon! I was disappointed we didn't get a gotg 3 nebula, seems like it would have been easy enough to add a mech arm for mantis and a Karen Gillan bald head sculpt

Thanks!

I’ve mostly been concentrating on making A:EMH inspired figures (mostly villains) and generally finishing teams - Guardians, Inhumans, Alpha Flight, Howling Commandos, Winter Guard, even the Agents of Smash!
