Hasbro Extends Star Wars License with Lucasfilm, Mattel Gets Disney Princess

Love Hasbro got the Indy License. Black Series style Indy figures yes please.

meh. hard pass on these. i'd be all in if they were [minor difference] so i could pose them with my [different line] but i guess [manufacturer] doesn't want my money.

Seems about right.

Marvel?

Black series indy!

Marvel was re-upped in 2020. So should be locked in a bit.

Press Release – Hasbro and Disney Extend Marvel and Star Wars Partnership

Also yes, Black Series style from the entire universe could work. I don't really want 10 versions of old ass Harrison Ford and Fleabag from the new movie.

Kind of expected both the Star Wars and Marvel license to be renewed at Hasbro. I like The Black Series and Marvel Legends 6 Inch figure lines. And yes some are not going to be happy about this but it is what it is.

I'm extremely excited for Indy. There has been nothing but pure GARBAGE that's only available at Disney parks for so long. I'm actually wondering if they'd sub-license it to ThreeZero as well for 1/6 figures. One can only hope haha.

For Star Wars, it mentions Master License, what does that mean exactly? Like are Hot Toys and Sideshow going through Hasbro to make 1/6 figures in some way? Or just smaller scale? Diamond Select still did a few figures last year, so I'm not really clear what that means.

Guess I'm happy since it should mean more Vintage Collection figures but somebody really needs to work on distribution. I barely see stuff in stores anymore.

So was Star Wars. I assumed they would go hand in hand. Unless marvel was renewed for longer.

I absolutely want 10 versions of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, so it all balances out.

Yeah not sure what's up then, they are very vague with term durations both times.

Holy shit yes.

Again, yes. Indy in his prime (Raiders especially) please, because Saggin' Jowl Indy and Sciatica Pain Indy will pegwarm hard.

I completely forgot they're actually going through with another Indiana Jones movie.

^ Gonna be the first Indy movie without that Spielberg look or Lucas's writing though... so probably gonna feel entirely different.

And did the Hasbro Ghostbuster figures sell decently? I remember the OG figures pegwarming a lot, but I don't really see the Afterlife figures all that much, so maybe those sold pretty good.

I think the Afterlife stuff moved pretty well in my area but it also seemed like stores just didn't get in as much as they did with the first wave. Locally when that first wave initially dropped it actually sold out within a month but the problem arose when stores just restocked the shit out of it even though it was apparent that the people who wanted them already bought them the first time.

^ I also think Ghostbusters is more popular with collector crowd than Indy is, so any 6" Indy figs might sell worse than 6" Ghostbusters did. Any 6" Indy goons might sell well though.

For how much Indy goes hand in hand with Lucas/Star Wars, and just how gigantic that first movie was, I'm always surprised how little interest in toys there are. I'm sure the Kenner line wasn't the best seller back then but the toys did exist. A lot of people say they just want an Indy and that's all, which isn't good for whatever lines they create.

Kinda hard to gauge since there's been so few Indy toylines in the past. You had the original Kenners, the figures that came out for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and some SHS Playskool figurines. Only other "toys" were $200+ Hot Toys figures. If they'd push Indy as much as they do GB every couple years there may be more interest haha

Also, LJN made figures for Temple of Doom.

I'm hoping Hasbro won't mismanage Indiana Jones again like they did with their releases of the 3 3/4" Kingdom of the Crystal Skull line back in 2008, where it was doomed from the start due to over production of the 1st wave.
It was a decent line with arguable likenesses.

Their technology has greatly improved since then and it would be great to see a 6" Indiana Jones line hopefully with the photo real face printing and crossing fingers that we'll get Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade!
