I want a damn 5' tall Stark Tower! Hasbro needs to really bring someone on that gives a damn about the scale. It's painfully obvious that peoples personal feelings, and corporate decision making (chokeing out the Xmen and fF)and PC bull shit pandering are now the driving forces behind the "new Marvel" not story, or art. and I think we're seeing a lot of this trickle down to the toys. I just keep holding on, you know eventually they'll get some guy in there that loves the characters and the products and actually cares about what they do (like Vonner) and who is a fan. in short I'd bet anyone on this forum could make a better, and better selling toy line than the guys running the show at Hasbro, simply because we know what we want, they don't give a damn.

Agree 110%. The comics, to me, got in the shape they're in because of this, I feel. and it's no longer interested me. And the toylines are next, as I don't really collect other merchandise.

I think they missed a huge opportunity to make this a collector (subscription?) focused line and offering a much smaller number of figures but figure that are more wanted. I don't want/need more Iron Man figures, or more Hulk figures, or anything that's just a slight redo. of figures we already have. And the thing is even without the F4 and X-Men they still have a wealth of characters to choose from, they're just not the focus characters.

I dunno. I know some people are saying don't start calling the end of this line quite but I'm sticking with what I'm feeling in my gut, it's going to be really interesting to see what's coming with SDCC this year. We know we still have a confirmed wave to go (emma wave) and the highly rumored wave 4 (Skurge ---hey Samsson, Holla!) wave, along with Captain Marvel and Gamora, but if that's all they hint towards, that's probably because that's all there's gonna be.

And honestly, given their focus I'm not even sure that's necessarily a bad thing anymore. I'm still buying but it seems like so many of the characters getting made are the ones I don't give a crap about (of course that's just my opinion, every character is someone's favorite).
