Yeah I think the GI Joe reveals were the biggest highlight of Pulse con. Star Wars reveals were minimal and lackluster as usual, but I was surprised by how little was revealed for Marvel.
Anyone else catch the teaser for the Ghostbusters full size replica proton pack that's going to be yet another Haslab? I'm sure it will be impressive for those who care about prop replicas/cosplaying, but if Hasbro is wanting to do a Ghostbusters Haslab, they totally blew the opportunity to offer an Ecto-1 that can scale with their 6" figures. Since the window of interest will quickly pass after this year once the new movie and toy line have come and gone, I guess we'll never get a 1/12 scale Ecto-1. Mattel's kickstarter for one failed to get funded back in 2013, and Hasbro is passing up the chance to try again. And once again we still don't know where or how we'll get the 6" plasma series Phoebe figure. It was shown off during the GB panel along with a mini Stay Pufts multi-pack for the Plasma series line. I assume there's a 2nd wave planned with these 2 figures and more (Paul Rudd's character, Phoebe's mom, Ivor Shandor??). Probably waiting to reveal all of those until next month to avoid spoilers.

Though light on the ML reveals, given how much gets released per year.
They may have wanted to hold back given all the open preorders. Though it's that they had the longest segment and had little to really announce. Personally I think Power Rangers and Gi Joe had strong showings. They showed a physical version of everything ahd it was mostly new stuff. ML, all tweaked rereleases. Not terrible but not rewarding for collectors who have been at it for a while. Them teasing Vulcan really made no sense. |

WOW.
So Bucky gets guns and new ones at that just because it's Hasbro while all Marvel's other licensees aren't allowed to put guns in??? WTF. Nice double standard guys, real stand-up job managing a company!! Also, so sick of how the female bodies are always designed scrunched up and deformed, especially in the chest region. The men always are ripped as hell with huge deltoids and biceps and pecs, but the women have breast sculpted weird in a small bunch just on the front of the toy. In reality, they should extend out to the sides a bit more, and down a bit more too. I'm not just talking about size, just they look unnatural, and have for a long time now. I just wish even if just for the fan channel "vintage" line they could try a bit harder with the sculpts. It sucks too because on that Scarlet Witch, the box art looks pretty natural and normal and makes the toy look even worse when you're looking at them side-by-side. |

The Winter Soldier looks amazing. It is a new mold, isn't it?
Not sure if it is a repaint/remake of the Marvel Legends Captain America and the Winter Soldier version. Last edited by DarkEyes; 10-25-2021 at 05:52 AM.. |

No, Falcon uses twin Steyr SPP. None of the McFarlane DC figures come with guns, including gun heavy characters like Suicide Squad's Peacemaker and Bloodsport, and it's not just McFarlane, ALL DC figures from any makers are no longer allow to come with guns. McFarlane's own Spawn line figures can come with guns. |

Apparently it's even crossbows since Huntress is missing hers.
Absolutely ridiculous that AT&T is marketing toys based on "R Rated" properties to kids if they are "thinking of the kiddies". Just give them "laser guns" or something like Marvel has been doing for Zemo for example, replacing his IRL gun. |

I'm not sure that that's the reason. Marauder Gun Runners certainly doesn't seem to have issues producing extremely detailed scale replicas of various real-world firearms, and they have a vastly smaller operating budget than Hasbro by an order of magnitude.

Also, although the Galil was fairly widely used by both Hydra henchmen and Batroc's mercenaries in CATWS, the only rifle Bucky wielded in that film, if I recall correctly, was the M4 carbine (with or without M203 grenade launcher) as reproduced by the Hot Toys figure: I know, right?

Yeap, DC figures have no guns, but if you want weapons in BBTS the other day found some from a line called Action Heroes or search Little Armory in BBTS, there are tons of configurable weapons all in the 1/12 scale... I ordered a couple of DEagles for the new Red Hood...

A.) Play up the sci-fi elements of the guns to distance them for actual firearms or B.) make the New 52 versions of the villains where they had super powers. |

I would imagine the Confederate uniform would be the bigger issue for Jonah...
I'm not sure what you're referencing here. Hot Toys still includes guns with its Marvel figures and the recent classic Taskmaster figure from Marvel Select also had a pistol. SH Figuarts Black Widow and Taskmaster do as well. The Japanese Deadpool figure with the guns removed is the outlier. Last edited by hasbroherofan; 10-25-2021 at 05:12 PM.. |

For Jonah Hex, you could always use the revolvers that come with Gunslinger Spawn. For the Flash villains, they'll either:

Atm, there isn’t a regular Spawn in the line. Not sure why.

That is dumb, no doubt about it! They'll probably just give them swords, axe and crowbars, just like what they've been doing to all gun related DC characters lately.
