I'd actually say that the Legacy Game of Thrones Jon Snow would be an easier and in-scale option, I saw somebody do that and it worked out okay. I'm pretty sure that Jon Snow will be easier to get too.

That seller is legit. A lot of toys from Hasbro POOR through the Philippines. They always get figures way before region 1 or region 2 as well. Just look at his feedback, a lot of sales and positives. I would 100% stake my reputation to his validity. If he was in America or Europe would you question it? East Asia doesn't mean bootlegs when it comes to sales.

Also, I think the 5 POA stuff is great. I am in a small small small boat on that statement. Here's why... They stand easily, they won't break, great sculpts, nice paint applications (better than Black Series often times)easy to find, restocked very often, huge variety (it has just begun just wait and see as it gets going) you can easily once again hunt for them, and the same articulation I had when I played with Star Wars. That never bothered me when I was young. Simply put- they are FUN. There, I said it.

We collect highly articulated Marvel Universe figures. I love articulation as much as anyone else. Buying online only or trolling ebay sucks if we are honest. Going to a shop and discovering your figure that you want is a GREAT feeling. This line has brought that back. The Black Series is going to get a few here and there but will never have everyone. Plus they will be expensive and frustrating to hunt. You will most likely end up feeding scalpers for 30% of your collection in the end.

I say support them. They aren't going anywhere. We will be seeing them for the next eight years or so. I am getting in at the beginning and am having fun collecting again. For too long I have enjoyed toys but hated the hunt. Now the hunt is the best part. Besides, they do look great once you have a lot of them! Anyway, Stormtroopers just stand in rows anyway.

If you absolutely hate the idea of 5 POA then dont get them. Keep complaining like everyone else on the internet. Hasbro isn't changing the design. Accept it. The Black Series 3.75" could fizzle out as it already hard to find and now is exclusive to only one store. Plus Hasbro wants to push these Force Awakens figures and the six inch line. We could see very very few new releases over the coming years in Black Series 3.75". Sad but perhaps true.

I'm in and am LOVING it. Give it a go before you deny them without at least trying them.

Forty years of toy advancement aside, putting away all negativity- did you have fun looking through the stacked pegs of them and getting the one wanted or a random one only to find later just how cool he was when you were home. That is what this has brought back for me.

At first they were just for my son's Christmas and his tenth birthday. I was a hater. I wasn't going to support this 5 POA garbage. I was standing firm against Hasbro with everyone else. Then I got them for him and I am hooked!!! Let the haters hate, I am for the first time ever in love with Hasbro!!!

Sorry folks, but if the 3.75" Black Series survives another year or two, I honestly will be surprised. Hasbro dumping the line off as Walmart Exclusives reeks of history repeating itself, as they did the same thing to Marvel Legends in the late 2000s, resulting in the eventual death of the line. Like UKMU said, the 5POA stuff isn't going anywhere, so you can either just take a big sh*t and enjoy it, or get off the pot.

My Walmart sucks. :I

Literally nothing gets stocked without scalpers getting it within the hour it's off the pallets, I have to show up while they're unloading if I even want a chance to get anything.

Unbelievably, I was in my local Asda last night with a friend and there was an Old Han wave out on the shelf! I grabbed Finn and flametrooper and my mate picked up old Han and flametrooper, massive surprise and absolutely delighted!
