Thread 11508600

Pretty obvious but it’s simi official now

>>11508600 (OP)
1/12 Tron figures would be pretty cool.

>>11508600 (OP)
better quality Identity Discs would be sick, never liked that the Legacy ones had to be modified to look like they were from the movie. Would also hope Hasbro goes above and beyond and makes a magentic holster for it as well

>>11508600 (OP)
Im all in on classic TRON figs. But is this gonna be like Indy Jones and not be available anywhere and only available at OLLIES?

They really gotta slap the big ugly Disney logo on top of the Tron logo huh

>>11508600 (OP)

Please let this line succeed so we can finally get some decent Uprising figures.

>>11508600 (OP)
Cool, 1/12 movie figures that'll end up at ollies

>>11508600 (OP)
So assuming they will make figures, do you think they will try to replicate the glowing of the suit or just bland neon lines like the last ML Big Time Spider-Man?

>>11509037
Light up or bust

>>11508887
That reminds me, new Indy thread?

these were good or nah?

>>11509056
Nah

>>11509046
No Zat, Bad.

>>11509056
I only got the KH ones, those still werent great

>>11508600 (OP)
As long as they make the Light Cycles I'm all for it.

>>11508887
At LEAST Tron stuff looks cool even without movies.
Too bad it's the Leto POS set mostly in the real world with game stuff appearing that's getting most focus.

Great, more shit no one wants that will end up clogging Ollie's shelves for years.

>>11509283
There's this youtuber that goes to the stores to chronicle woke toys, he was at the Target looking over the star wars figures and he says "Let's just cut out the foreplay and send all this shit to Ollies"

>>11509283
I'd kill for some actually good Legacy and Uprising figures though. The problem is that they won't be good and they'll probably be Ares garbage.

>>11508794
>1/12
Please no. Tron is a vehicle heavy property and works best in 3.75".

>>11509385
>probably be Ares garbage
The teaser image implicitly shows the logos from the original movie and Legacy, not Ares. Hasbro probably doesn't have much faith in the new film, so they're starting with products from the films they know fans like. If the line ends performing well, and Ares is well recieved, I can see them doing toys from it later, but right now it's pretty clear Ares is on the backburner.

>>11509056
Nah, but Hasbro better copy the blacklight paint and matte finish like these. These were suppose to glow under black lights as their gimmick.

How the hell did they open a floppy disc?

>>11510017
Are you an idiot?

>>11510115
It's a fair question, who still has a floppy disk drive?

>>11510158
Got equipment for both 5.25" floppy and 3.5" disk. Not our fault you throw away useful equipment

>>11510170
But why? What mainstream purpose do you use it for?

I'd die happy if we got figures of these three so it'll never happen

>>11510201
I hope you get your wish. And not in a twisted way.

>>11510176
RETRO GAMING. I have a retro gaming desktop from 2000 that has a floppy drive. Also USB floppy drives are super cheap and I have one of those too. I keep floppy disks around so I can update firmware on old 16/32-bit systems.

>>11510335
Adding to this, there are a lot of old synthesizers / samplers that use floppy disks and many of them have parallel ports for external drives, including external floppy drives.

>>11510170
>Not our fault you throw away useful equipment
You are the only person in our solar system that still uses floppy disks and has a drive for them

>>11510342
>You are the only person in our solar system that still uses floppy disks and has a drive for them
The governments of the world would like a word with you including the US missile defense system and the airport radar system.

Confirmed.

>We told you the other day how it seemed that Hasbro's Steve Evans was teasing new Tron products coming from Hasbro.

>While details continue to be light, Evans has now confirmed that Hasbro will be doing a exclusive run of TRON and TRON: LEGACY collectibles.

>>11510865
>hopes
Figures, vehicles, decent disc replicas
>expectations
Shit no one wants like Funko Pops and Figpins

>>11510891
>Funko Pops and Figpins
Neither of those are Hasbro retard.

>>11510335
So, not a mainstream purpose then.

>>11511175
>So, not a mainstream purpose then.
But not exactly rare either. Retro gaming is super popular and lots of people still have old computers in their houses. Shit, most of the regular people I know are using computers over a decade old as their main, let alone all the businesses that are running old hardware (and computers running XP are still a thing).

>>11511679
That sounds complicated and impractical compared to just emulating.

>>11508882
Oh no, you just gave them Pulse exclusive ideas.... it'll be $300 for that

>>11511701
Just to restate the original point, floppy disks are way more common than most people think. Moving on to retro gaming, yes emulators are great, but there are entire classes of games that don't run on emulators. For a while I was running a virtual machine of Win98 just to play one game and it never quite worked as well as hardware, which is why I keep hardware around. And circling back to Tron toys -- I don't really care about them. I only think a small percentage of them are cool.

Cool but I fucking hate Hasbro after the last 5 years of price hikes and lightning collection and terrible quality...I'll probably buy it anyways I fucking love Tron it's the coolest shit ever god damn it...

My ultimate cope/hope is that they do Tron Uprising. It had the best style and story of any Tron media.

>>11511725
That's fair, I still defend anyone who asks about owning floppy drives. Moving on too, the fact that they used floppy's at least let's us know who Hasbro's intended audience is

>>11511732
The fact that Uprising didn't even have a basic toyline is ludicrous. The stylized character designs were practically begging to become figures.

I do find it strange that all they did was this tease for the line, you'd think they'd have something ready to show since the new movie is releasing in a few months

I remember in 2005 at school my friend and I throwing a blank floppy disc around outside like a frisbee seeing how far we could get it to go. kek. Simpler times..

>>11509056
they look shite

>>11509056
They did ones too the emulated the look of the original TOMY figures, but they were SDCC exclusives

>>11512139
Everything spinmasters did with legacy basically ensured disney wouldnt touch it for the next decade. Prioritizing gimmicks and electronics over decent toy representations of characters never works out well.

Does anyone have any faith in this new Tron movie? I sincerely expect it to be a kraven/morbius tier nothingburger. I dont get why they didnt just dust off the Legacy sequel scripts.

>>11525121
>I dont get why they didnt just dust off the Legacy sequel scripts.
Either some weird legal issue with rights to the scripts or not modern (read: shit) enough. Which is a shame, I thought Legacy was honestly pretty good.

>>11525425
Legacy is what got me into Tron to begin with (well moreso Uprising, thought Legacy was a bit shit when I first saw it, but I grew to appreciate it after Uprising). Tons of people compare it to Star Wars Sequels vs The Original Trilogy

I re-watched the original Tron for the first time since I probably saw it on G4 (man I miss "Movies That Don't Suck" so hard) and what struck me the hardest was how unabashedly goofy it was and in a very fun way

Would be kinda cool if it happened...

>>11525425
When people say "new Tron movie" all anybody wants is a continuation to Legacy. All this time later and they asspull this vidya character comes to the real world plot. It's sub-sony tier garbage writing. They're making Pixels and Jumanji look like high art.

>>11525443
Their entire run of ill-fated blockbusters riding on the hype of star wars were honestly really fun. The Black Hole is a great watch if you havent seen it already.

Semi-related but they're working on this Monster Jam movie with Dwayne Johnson, and from the moment it was announced, all I could think is how much more entertaining a buddy cop movie with the Rock and Herbie the love bug could have been.

>>11525118
>spinmasters
I liked the 3.75" figures/vehicles, and the Identity Discs were solid. I don't think the light up gimmick impaired those. I just wish the planned figures could have been released.
