Funny AND true. Kind of sad now that I think about it.

if they mannage to pack that curly cue piece of rubber spiderweb accessory in with one more figure it will officialy be the most marketed piece of garbage in history! what do we have like ten of those?

I have at least 6.

ROSS 2013.

These are figures more akin to Dollar Tree or happy meals.

Iron Man 3 All Stars. I think this settles any debates that 3.75's are going down this year:

Iron Man 3 Movie All-Stars Action Figures Wave 1 - Hasbro - Iron Man - Action Figures at Entertainment Earth

Mother of God

At least we have these to look forward to. The Bleeding Edge armor looks SWEEEET.

Iron Man 3 Marvel Legends Action Figures Series 1 - Hasbro - Iron Man - Action Figures at Entertainment Earth

OMG!!!! Thank u soo much for posting that link, Holy shit balls!!

Balls... :/

Welp, so much for "let's wait and see the main line," eh? There are two 3.75" IM3 lines: the "All-Stars," which are just regular figures, and the Assemblers line.

Looks like Hasbro really is going the cheap/low articulation route for even the movies now. I mean, these are less detailed than The Avengers.

Hopefully they at least look better in person.

Well, two things.

a) Why did you put quotations around "optimism?" Are you implying that I'm... making it up? Because that would be strange.

b) What do you mean by "main line?" Are you referring to the main lines in the movie-licensed figures? Granted, The Avengers was a disappointment but calling them junk for "the past few years" just isn't true. There were a number of very nice figures in the Captain America line. The Thor line was alright but having no comic series figures was disappointing.

Optimism = You seem to make it your "job" to defend these lackluster toys whenever they fail to impress.
I mean the MAIN LINE Amazing Spider-Man toys! The ones that have failed to impress for quite some time now! How hard is that to figure out? Cause you know... those are Spider-Man figures in the pic...

As I've already made my thoughts clear on the USM cartoon I'd say these toys match the show well in terms of quality. But for those who genuinely like the show, this sucks.

And now that the IM3 3 3/4 line has been revealed, it blows even more. Is there any chance of a third line of Iron Man 3 figures? I hope Hasbro addresses this significant quality drop in the next Q&A.

I think I'll go back to Marvel Legends...

They already dropped the Q&A's too.

This just means I won't be buying any.

No, I just don't go into instant Intenet-rage mode over toys. I try to be fair before attacking. Whatever it is you're implying is silly.

Sorry, but no. It's not my fault that you worded it poorly. You said the "main line has been junk for years" and you're implying I'm stupid because I didn't realize you were talking about a line that has been out less than a year? I didn't even mention ASM in the post you quoted.

You're being incredibly childish and attacking me for no reason. Back off.

You're turning this into a personal attack. How cute. No, dear. I'm not implying that you're stupid. Stop twisting words. No one's raging. We just don't like what we're seeing. You're gonna have to accept that a lot of us feel this way about the line, no matter how much you tell us to "chill out." But tell you what. You stop responding to me, and I'll stop responding to you. Fair enough? Maybe that will ease your sense of paranoia.

In other words, I'm not attacking you.

Too much internet butthurt. You kids go to bed.

In a minute. I'm shopping for Bruce Lee figures...

"How hard is that to figure out?" is a rude statement to make. Of course you're implying something negative. No need to pretend you don't understand that.

There's no paranoia, you were factually rude to me and expected me to read your mind apparently.

I really wasn't. But if this has upset you so much, then I apologize. This doesn't change the fact that you do tend to be overly positive about these releases compared to everyone else. Just look at your recent posts.

Now if you manage to read a personal attack in that statement, I throw up my hands...
