Treat Hisstank like Vegas: what happens there stays there. Do not bring grudges or any other BS from HT here. That goes for ALL of our sister sites, too.

Consider this a warning.

Stealth Bumblebee is a redeco, but Dead End is a remold (new head, same as Hot Shot from wave 3) and Airachnid is a new mold.

Like we'd be able to tell through that mask, even if you did.

Which is currently unreleased, and according to SWP, may not see the light of day beyond packaged samples on Ebay.

I have no doubt that Hasbro will continue to use the license whenever they can for as long as they have it. There are several other Marvel movies on the horizon that they can make figures for, so I doubt it would "collect dust on the shelf", as it were.

Also, we don't know the terms under which Hasbro licensed the Marvel characters. We can infer 3.75" scale figures due to the various lines they've put out since obtaining it (and the fact that no one else has put out any Marvel toys in that scale since then). Hasbro may not be allowed to sub-contract it to any other companies, assuming they even wanted to do something like that.
