Something else to keep in mind on the 6'' lines too.
Every wave with 6'' is a rebranding. GOTG legends. X-Men Legends. Spider-man Legends. etc. There has been no strict consistency to all of it under one legends banner.

In the same year, they get so many releases because each is a rebranding attached to an upcoming film. It makes it easier for retailers to clearance out the old to prep for the new.

The 4'' line on the other hand, has only rebranded directly 3 times across a 7 year period, and only done so when it was needed to fix a backlog issue.

There is one way to fix some of the Legends 4'' problems right there. And it seems it's one Hasbro is about to experiment with as they did announce a Spider-man 4'' upcoming. So maybe we might see more like that.

Or if we're lucky, maybe we'll see another dual rebranding. Legends 4'' becoming "All-New Marvel" and then a film centered character line alongside it for film years. So for homecoming that'd be Spider-man, for team movies, it's the team associated, etc.

Okay yeah, I'm a bit disappointed in his words if that's true, and the last time someone said something even remotely close to like that at hasbro, they got removed. So I'd expect if he doesn't shape up, he's going to ship out soon.

He has a point that those BAF pieces getting stolen are on relaxed retailer security, but it is also on lack of hasbro finding a way to make them more secure(that boxed method is way to easy to quietly tamper with then if that's happening, I've noticed it at my local stores too).

Take Titans Return for example. Those toys are damn near glued in place in the packaging to make theft of any piece of it impossible. And damn right they should do that. Even Legends 4'' is so damn secure in the packaging you can hear someone trying to steal one out of package halfway across a store. So maybe they should reconsider how packaging is approached some to prevent that.


That Phoenix is definitely 4''.
No upper thigh swivel. 4'' feet standard. Missing other markers of 6'' articulation too in the arms. No waist or ab articulation. That's pure 4'' current standard. And it looks like it brought wrist swivel back.
