Why so little hype for this guy? The cel shaded look is nice. Just came out at a bad time.

It's not rocket science

Shugma-Gorath when?

Is the back plate popping off a big issue?

>>11544291 (OP)
So why did all those people buy hasbro max Spider-Man instead of waiting for this?

>>11544359
A lot of people here seem to just buy every spiderman figure that's released from every single company.

Walmart said they are shipping out a spiderman i ordered. Ive got enough spidermans ao this will be the last one for me.
The retro mysterio looks awesome, i hope i get one.

>>11544349
Why is the suit so fucking dark?

>>11544373
Hellfire gala Spider-Man?

>>11544302
Looks great, sure, but can he move? This pic being the most articulation he's shown with tells me no.

>>11544376
The suit is supposed to be grey, it's another Venom case where the blue highlight becomes more popular.

>>11544333
It's up on BBTS with their gay ass tariff fee and a non refundable $10 deposit. I'm just waiting for Amazon to list it without that bullshit, I'll pay the extra $20 to not deal with the tariff shit.

>>11544349
Not on mine. It's pretty secure.

>>11544359
Because I'm >>11544361. I have an ASM #1 signed by Stan Lee. Spidey is my favorite character of all time, I get pretty much any figure of him.

>>11544394
NTA, but it's the NIck Hammond Spidey. Mine is getting ready to ship out too.

>>11544395
Every comic figure should look like this.

>>11544409
>BBTS
Nah I'm good not having the Spidey for the time being.

>>11544409
>I'll pay the extra $20
>To not deal with the tariff shit
>extra $20
>not deal with tariff shit

what do you suppose the extra money is for anon?

>>11544510
$80 yourself (if the country will even ship to you kek), or $20 with others. Either way you're fucked. Thank orange man for this.

>>11544510
Yeah, you're looking at an extra $30-$200 for a $60 import and that's before shipping. At minimum you're paying $90 + shipping. I'll just pay the $100 from Amazon and call it a day, plus I can easily cancel it if I end up not wanting it.

>>11544291 (OP)
So how much will this thing be for burgers? 180? 200+?

>>11544581
It's hilarious seeing people bend over backwards to defend/support him as everything literally crumbles around them. It'd be extremely entertaining if it wasn't affecting everything, well beyond just the toy hobby.

>>11544642
Japanese e-tailer? $180 easily. Got a hook-up in Japan that will ship loose, declare it a gift and/or fudge the numbers? $80, maybe? Amazon? Probably a c-note.

>>11544648
It's maddening because the rest of us are suffering for it. My hobby is fucked now cause of it.

>>11544642
$100. Maybe less if you get it somewhere like Barnes and Noble. It's a general release, it isn't going to be difficult to get.

Go cry about it in your containment thread.

>>11544657
This. The people sperging out about trying to get a regular release SH Figuarts are fucking retarded. You'll be able to get this for $100ish or maybe less at places like B&N and GameStop. Yeah, it sucks you can't save $20 by paying in yen and importing yourself anymore, but you'll still be able to get these figures.

>>11544588
This.

Not sure it was worth it, glad I had the other versions to swap heads though

>>11544673
>>11544676
Yeah, about $100 or so. What are you trying to say here?

>>11544685
Preorder price guarantee

>>11544688
Meaning if it ever goes cheaper thaan what you ordered it for, before the release date, you'll get the cheapest price. Still not sure what you're trying to convey here.

>>11544691
If it goes cheaper I’ll just reorder it.

>>11544691
Nta but are you legitimately that fucking dense?

>>11544709
You don't need to. It'll automatically adjust to the lower price.

>>11544731
Is he just reaffirming what I was saying earlier? Can you explain it to me like I'm a child please?

>>11544736
Aw shit you’re actually autistic lol

>>11544738
I even asked nicely.

Finally I got one. It wont change that I didnt get cyclops but its cool regardless

Spider-man vaporized in two seconds for me.

Lmaooooo amiami stock didn't even last a minute.

The cart page loads saying he's unavailable.
Can you actually order at the start?

>>11544394
Movie spiderman, which is cool since i like the toei or tv spiderman look. Hellfire looks ok, its just that i dont have any intrest in it.
>>11544411
You think we could get a tv captain america one day? They havent done that movie yet right?

>>11544751
I did. Got onto the site 5mins before hand, got him in cart, and now he shows up on my orders list.

>>11544750
You mean a second.

>>11544745
If Bandai has any sense, they will produce a lot of these. It's clear there's demand for these.

Why are you guys sperging out about this? He's a general release.

>>11544756
That;s exatly what I did. You don't mean he was open to order before the start time though right?

It's pure dice roll now fuck the major sites.

>>11544766
Not only that, but I'm surprised people still trust the quality of an SHF considering their horrific track record lately.

>>11544768
Nah, amiami opened up pretty much 11am JST on the dot. It's just I autistically visited the site to keep the log-in fresh and to avoid random log-outs, etc.
That said, there are some randomness where someone could get in a few seconds ahead of you, and then you lose out. Happened to me many times.

Lmao why is amazon.jp charging $115?

>>11544774
They pass the costs on...to you.

>>11544768
It's really unfortunate that the de minimis is gone, your best bet is to import from Canada/other countries since imports are omega expensive there.

>>11544774
Jeffu Bezosu-senpai need money to fund illegitimatu weddingu. Prease Understandu

>>11544763
Is it Bandai? or AmiAmi having a reasonable cap for themselves not to lose money?
Because aren't these made to order? Or Bandai still to this day sets a production number rom the start?

>>11544787
Definitely Bandai. HobbySearch had their stocks vaporized earlier today too, same with Yoyakunow and anime export.
Bandai is one of the most conservative companies out there when it comes to minimum order quantities of SH Figuarts. In fact, I'm pretty sure the only exceptions are their Dragon Ball and other anime lines.

I was refreshing my cart for the slim chance a 2nd or 3rd order window might come for ami. I notice now a red "Unfortunately, S.H.Figuarts Spider-Man (GAMERVERSE)(Pre-order) is sold out." appeared, pretty sure it wasn't there before.
Do you think that indicates all order windows have ended? That would be helpful since I know when to give up.

>>11544805
They'll probably out another wage up in a few hours,they tend to restock orders sometimes throughout the night.

Feels a lot like Hasbro Pulse here today eh?

>>11544812
>throughout the night.
Is it that sparse? I got the impression it happened within the hour or two from start time.

>>11544814
No?

>>11544395
>grey
its supposed to be black and red

>>11544805
Happened for cyclops too even though I refreshed the page for an hour straight.

>>11544805
Your only hope now is to see when plazajapan puts him in stock. Failing that, then it's bbts/local stores

>>11544805
No idea. I checked a couple times and nothings come up. At least US retailers are getting these even if they’re marked up…

>>11544828
>>11544395
Wrong.
It's red and blue, just like the og spiderman costume [became to be].

The reason for the heavy blacks is because Frank Miller's style was popular during that time, so artists like Rick Leonardi (Spiderman 2099 artist) started to copy Frank.

>>11544888
>It's red and blue
It's stated multiple times early on by various characters that its meant to be a black costume. It's common knowledge that blue was the best color to accent shadows on a black costume in comics and the general public just went with him being blue and they eventually retconned it.

Has this legend ever gotten a truly nice figure?

>>11544913
Yeah, and just like the OG costume, it became red and blue.

>>11544916
I think you missed the part where we were originally talking about what the suits originally were, and not what they are now.

>>11544916
>it became
>became

Except they're talking about what it was ORIGINALLY intended to be, you dense motherfucker. Typical illiterate Americunt.

>>11544914
Yeah. Magneto has a handful. Check myfigurecollection.

Did everyone else get the delay notice. I Here its Dec in US and Jan in UK.

This is the first I've heard of this:
Buy a Marvel Unlimited Plus membership and get a figure.
I saw the Spider-Women figure for this year and am tempted to buy the year pass.

What do you think?

>>11545113
They do this literally every year. Last year was some Spider Man variant.

>>11545120
lol, it's in the picrel above you
but honestly they look like they kit bash other parts to make these figures so it takes little motivation on Hasbro's part to make anything original for MU

>>11545128
Lol. I just looked at the thumbnail and assumed it was this years that was posted last thread.

>but honestly they look like they kit bash other parts to make these figures so it takes little motivation on Hasbro's part to make anything original for MU
They have made original stuff for it in the past I wanna say the first release of Pepper Pots in the Rescue armor was in the Marvel Unlimited subm and she was an all new figure. But taking a quick look at the rest of past releases they're just lame,modern goofy cross over repaints. Like they did Punisher Venom and Kamala Kahn ina Spidey themed costume. It's mostly just easy repaints, I assume they don't want to lock anything even remotely desirable behind that subscription model. People would lose their shit,

>>11544888
Thats deathblow by jim lee right?

Rev up those small parcel tariffs.

>>11545229
>le tariffs le tariffs
You have no idea how stupid you look

>>11544657
Get fucked maggot. Toy prices are toy related, and there's nothing you can do about it.

HOLY SHIT I actually received my '77 Spidey! My FIRST non-cancelled WalMart exclusive! WM should be denied exclusives, and the fb groups are full of cancellation stories.

>>11545417
Just got mine delivered too.

>>11545417
>>11545439
Me too, legit just came to say im pretty happy i got it. But now ill need the toei spiderman so eh, kinda wanted him anyway. I do need to admit that spiderman collecting is a slippery slope, i started with the cartoon spiderman on a impulse buy and now ive got like 5 or 6 diffrent versions. Not even mentioning supporting figures like villans or allies.

>>11545417
>fb groups are full of cancellation stories
Vocal minority of poorfags that didn’t have the funds when their account got pinged

>>11545569
It’s kinda funny how retards are outing themselves as financially illiterate

>>11545568
What until it expands into collecting amazing Spiderman through various collections such as mighty marvel masterworks, masterworks, omnibus etc

Did amiami sell out immediately last night?

>>11545592
yeah, didn't see a restock either
supaidaman is popular

>>11545417
How is it?

>>11545568
And that's just one character...

>>11545229
what tarriffs?

>>11545631
Unfortunately, anon, the Supreme Court is R, therefore the tariffs will remain in place. Because everything in this dumbass country comes down to R or D

>>11545581
I do follow a few collections, mostly 80s-90s xmen but im about done there. I was a big fan of larsens spidey run at the time, which makes me hype for a chance at cyborg spidey, so getting a few collections would be nice. I just got new mutants epic vol 8 and the xcellent tpb yesterday.
I really suggest giving ollies a shot for just getting random tpbs for cheap if anyone is just looking for something to read.
>>11545597
Yeah, and its the majority of my legends collection. Almost every figure has had a run in with him, even my cosmic themed figures or odd balls like sleepwalker. But spiderman is the face of marvel so that makes sense.

>>11545631
the ones that are still in place despite being declared illegal, read the fine print

>>11545569
You're retarded and just talking shit as usual. I have enough on my credit card to buy a car, yet I've always been cancelled on until this time. And like a typical faggot, you want to blame strangers when the fault is literally WalMarts. Just shut the fuck up you stupid angry little child. Enough of your shit.

>>11545595
Spiderrific. Haven't opened him yet.

>>11544291 (OP)
I could stand to be proven wrong but going off the promo pics alone the new AHF Gamerverse Spidey has already earned himself a spot in the top 10 greatest Spidey figures ever made. This guy's easily up there with the 18 inch toybiz Ultra Poseable Spider-Man 2 figure, Snapshot Spidey, the recent Mezco Ditko Spiderman.

>>11545653
Eh, Roberts and Coney Barrett could just as easily side with the leftist justices. Doesn't Change de minimis either way.

>>11545692
I'm not really bothered about Spiderman, I don't have any figures of him, but I feel like I am missing something. I like the more heroic shape of him in general and his head is fantastic, but he looks a bit gorilla armed, the leg cut sheathe thing is absolutely atrocious, the bizarre crotch they do is also an eye sore, his waist gaps out with any articulation it seems, the muscle definition is really soft and the blue isn't correct for the game. What's his height going to be like against other Marvel lines? I think he looks better than some of the others, but to me it still looks like too many drawbacks. When you compare the number of great Batmans or whatever, it feels like every Spiderman is just a bit shitty, including this one, I am not seeing the mind blowing element. It's like he's the Silksong of action figures.

>>11544913
Yeah, early, as in the first few issues, just like OG Spiderman.
And maybe just in script only, because blue was prominent in the coloring for all the comics and all the early merch was blue, unlike Venom. And Spiderman 2099 came out when Marvel was switching to digital coloring and using higher quality paper.

>>11545692
All you're looking at is a render

>>11546339
thats not a render its a painted prototype

>>11544914
Acts of Vengeance was amazing just for having Red Skull endlessly dunk on other villains.

>>11544291 (OP)
I love how they're finally releasing BAF's on their own. I don't know why they chose Strong Guy neither, but I also know nothing about him in general other than being one of the cool BAF's

>>11546384
they picked him because they are rereleasing the rest of his team

>>11546384
>Release him on his own
>Omit the smiling face, of a character commonly characterized as being jovial and making light of things
>Even give him a thumbs up which can now only be paired with a scowl or yelling expression if you don't have the original head

>>11546389
They probably did it so people wouldn't whine that their BAF version is now worthless

>>11546389
Hasbro assumes we own those parts anyway because we didn't have a choice of either buying a literal who or not.

>>11546389
the best part is knowing the skin color probably doesn't match even if you do own it

>>11546508
What's weird is that they went out of their way to give him a flesh-colored neck, despite him being pretty consistently depicted with a covered neck

>>11546526
honestly other than the tops of his shoulderpads being colored incorrectly and the zipper not being painted at all the BAF is better. I wouldn't mind having the accessories from the new one but I'm not willing to pay $40 just for those.

>>11544675
I'm considering buying it just to put the ponytail head on the old figure's body. That would be the perfect gym look

It feels inevitable that we'll get a Mary Jane Venom figure

>>11546664
This is a disturbing image.

>>11546732
yeah
still would though

>>11546732
it's insanely hot

>>11546732
For some reason they thought getting 5 headswap covers was a good idea. And then none of the heads are actually good.

>>11544291 (OP)
ID on this spidey figure? I saw it on Instagram. The creator doesn't mention the brand or the variant.

>>11546885
Looks like the AY 1.0 with a custom head.

>>11546885
AY 1.0 body, dunno the head.

>>11546732
Don't worry, it gets worse.

>>11546951
What's wrong with that? That looks cool.

>>11546956
That's still MJ.

>>11546958
Am I supposed to be mad? Still looks cool.

>>11546959
I'm not a dumb barafag, so I can't relate.

Should i get Tobey NWH for 200 Canadian dollars? Best I can find

>>11546885
Revoltech 1.0 Spidey body with the V33 fahrul35 head.

>>11546993
SHF? Mafex? .....the ML?

>>11546998
Mafex, and I have the other two, but 200 feels steep. Notsure if they will ever reissue though

>>11546997
Wow, that looks terrible!

>>11544291 (OP)
Who's next?

>>11547019
>200 CAD for Mafex
Not really, but you do you. If you want to complete the trio that bad, you probably should have preordered it.

>>11547176
Samurai girl or robot man I hope

>>11547176
They're not under the Gamerverse name, but Cable, Marrow, Iron Man, Spiral and Blackheart have all been made in their MVC costumes as well. You could probably also fudge the 97 Magneto into the display as well since his helmet hides the cartoon stylization. Everyone else needs updated bodies though.

>>11545690
>credit card

>>11547299
Found the basement dweller!

>>11547302
To be fair, I didn't get a credit card until my 30s and I wanted to buy a house. Usury is fake and gay.

>>11547314
I've had mine set to pay off in full every month, I haven't carried a balance in over 20 years. Nothing wrong with having a credit card if you're not a retard about it.

>>11547316
Yeah, I don't same and pay it off several times throughout the month. Still. They're fake and gay and only a means to try and put people into debt. Fuck that shit.

>>11547318
Okay, edgy kid. Meanwhile I'm enjoying the free fraud protection credit cards provide while not giving in to the usury. You keep whining like an armchair slacktivist.

>>11547335
>Getting your panties in a not because I think credit cards are a scam
Legitimately, what's your malfunction? Why would you get in a tizzy over this?

>>11547335
Cool buzzword you fucking faggot

>>11547371
>Legitimately, what's your malfunction?
You legitimately started this argument just so you could argue this point. Because you are a childish troll. You're such a pathetic little nobody.

>>11547402
>tee hee hey mom I typed "faggot" again!
Cool story bro. I guess you think every thread is about you. That's why you're constantly picking fights in every fucking thread. Shame you can't actually afford toys so you can talk on-topic.

>>11547176
If they don't care what Hasbro is doing, it's obviously Wolverine.

>>11544291 (OP)
>Spider-Man
>Spider-Man (Japanese Version)

this is the first Spider-Man figure that looks appealing to me

>>11547411
>argument
Wut? I just said I don't like credit cards because I think usury is gay. I didn't tell you not to use one or detract anyone from using one. I even stated o have one and do the same as you and pay it off several times a month. Then you sperged out for no reason. Goddamn dude. Get a grip.

This is your darkest vision of Pins. Not every figure will ever be pinless, especially not the most obscure, those who will never be made again. How do you deal with the figures that will never be pinless?

>>11547513
By not being that bothered by pins

>>11547513
They definitely are going to make a new Absorbing man to match his wife.

>>11547513
i can live with pins
ball hips on the other hand

>>11547513
Basically what >>11547516, >>11547522, and >>11547526 all said. He'll get remade eventually, and even so, pins aren't the worst thing about that figure. The ball hips are objectively terrible.

>>11547513
As of 2024 I don't buy any figure with pins, even of characters I love like Crossbones. So noping out on that new 2-pack.

>>11547513
>>11547555
Based trips. Pins should've been phased out entirely by now, it's been over 5 years since the introduction of pinless joints. And it's not just the visual element either, pinned joints are objectively inferior because of the more flexible plastic the joint is made of, leading to warped knees in many cases

>>11547559
Joints are still using very soft plastic even for current MLs with pinless. How they will hold up long term (10+ years) is still an open question.

And pinless does have one problem pinned does not: you cannot fix a joint if it gets too loose, whereas pinned you can disassembly the joint and add ingredients of your choosing to tighten up the joint again.

>>11547566
*disassemble the joint

>>11547574
I have him on pre-order and i'm stil not sure if I wanna get him to replace my Comic Cable.

>>11547574
Way too cartoony looking, especially unfitting for a character from a dark future like Cable

>>11547566
>Joints are still using very soft plastic
The joints themselves, no, the rest of the figure yes. And I can count on one hand the number of times a double joint has been loose enough to need fixing. And with that argument, should every joint have a pin in it for fixes? Wrists, ankles, shoulders, necks, single elbows?

>>11547582
The body itself doesn't look like its gonna be able to be reused. Its so smooth and featureless, looks really weird with the regular cable head on there.

>>11547582
its like super 7 made it

I finally got my Blac Chyna Spidey. He's fun.

>>11547691
I'm not a big marvel fan, so I don't have other Marvel figures to pose him with. I just think he's neat.

>>11547618
Yeap, looks a lot like something from an 80's cartoon/toyline, 90's Marvel had a totally different feel

>>11544914
magneto's big soulful eyes in this panel always crack me the fuck up

>>11546951
I'd buy that

>>11544914
>>11547866

>>11546885
>>11546886
>>11546889
great hand poses! who thought you how to to that? you're hands are beautiful btw.

Spidey sold out on Amazon too. Fomo is real.

>>11548112
He will probably come back up. It's a general release, these are never difficult to get once they actually come out.

>>11547176
I'm only interested in the SHF line and I'm really hoping they do Cap next. I already have the comic Mafex figure but I NEED more Caps

>>11548242
I dunno, the SHF's aren't doing it for me for some reason. Not really sure why.

>>11547582
This may be the first '97 figure that looks a little too cartoony to me. I know it's replicating a style, but it seems way too smooth compared to the others.

>>11548112
Shf gamerverse spidey?

This bad boy just arrived today. What a beast!

>>11548411
That's cool and all, but it's not Mangog.

>>11548444
I was really hoping he'd be the next one. Maybe after mephisto.

>>11548463
Looking that Dragon Man again they can even reuse basically the whole body if they HAVE to save costs. Mangog with scales wouldn't even be outrageous.

>>11548411
They still couldn't do a ballpeg at the waist. I do not understand why not.

>>11548463
This would be a purchase from me. Look at that fucking face. If they'd like to include a more modern face I'd be happy with that too.

>>11548475
Man, I love this guy. He's Thor's Doomsday but with a burning hatred of all things Asgardian. So simple and pure.

>>11548486
>the physical manifestation of the collective hatred of an entire race
Kino

>>11548489
Plus he's Odin's bully and has a great rapeface.

>>11548486
What is Surtur?

>>11548519
Darkseid, probably. Ultimate baddie.

>>11547691
He's nice, moves great, but rather disappointing coming from Kaine. Rougher around the edges (like the bottom cut of his pectoral and the paint on it) and worse paint app, though at least the upper body on mine doesn't come apart like some complain. Also, the right rib on mine is slightly projected ahead for some reason. How's yours? Looks fine from a glance.

>>11548411
Ugh... kanji

>>11548560
Fuck off. You don't own any toys.

>>11548411
I skipped this since I don't care enough about Dragon Man but I'm kinda regretting skipping the Sentinel. It was up before I moved and got s bit more space for my collection so I can fit it now, but oh well I guess. I'm at least getting Mephisto.

>>11548639
Unfortunately Mephisto is a much worse deal than the sentinel

>>11548650
Eh, I thought it was alright. Not enough to detract me from it. Yeah, the Sentinel really was the better deal though. Regretting skipping it but I didn't have the space at the time and didn't know if I'd be getting more or less toy space when I moved.

>>11548650
In what way?

>>11548629
Yes I do. I just don't spam them with every response like kanji does. Go to the Figuarts threads that's all him. Just pictures of his stupid floor.

>>11548713
Lego?

>>11548656
Sentinel is huge and is a unique figure, a display centerpiece that can have unique interaction with figures due to his size. Mephisto is a slightly tall gangly figure with a throne that's just a solid lump of plastic.

>>11548754
Yeah I can agree with this to an extent, but at least they tried to make Mephisto feel more worth it by including the throne and trappable parts.

>>11548715
Fuck off frenchwad

>>11548754
You don't seem to know what you're talking about.

>>11548650
>Mephisto is a much worse deal than the sentinel
The point you're trying to make would go a lot better if they were actually the same price.

Gamerverse spidey on Amazon for $98

Sentinel: A figure you can 3d print your own, and painting isn't that hard. And if you can print one, you can print many

Mephisto: Same concept, but pray you can paint faces well enough to be happy with it. But when compared to the old Diamond Select version, yeah he is WAY overpriced.

>>11549434
Still available if anyone needs it

>>11547691
>>11547692
Does anyone have a link to the official Kaine/Mess storefront on Ali or is it generally safe to buy from most vendors. (Assuming you don't do something stupid like pay for a $10 listing)
Good bootlegs usually result in inferior copycat bootlegs and I'd like to avoid that if possible.

>>11549556
I snagged it. We'll see how it turns out.

>>11549237
Sounds like someone without an actual counterpoint

>>11549332
The Sentinel was worth its price, Mephisto is not. One can compare two different items of two different prices and deem one worth it or not. A high priced item can be a better value than a lower priced one.

>>11549474
Are there files out there for the Sentinel or would you have to make them yourself? How much would the resin cost--negligible amounts even though its a large figure? Would that much articulation hold up well as a 3D printed item? Because I don't see any 3D printed Sentinels out there selling, yet logically I should be if it was easier than customizing a Mephisto face

>>11549580
It's definitely NOT safe to buy from most Ali vendors. You have to carefully vet who you buy from.

>>11549625
>The Sentinel was worth its price, Mephisto is not.
This. Even with Spic Rider and his muscle car that shit was simply overpriced plastic, both Sentinel and Galactus are fair priced giant figures, one throne and a sword can't cost that much and honestly most people don't even want them.

Yep. He’s clearly made for legends.

>>11549664
Dear God, I hope you never work for a business. You'd piss yourself in fear at how much things actually cost to produce.

People don't seem too excited for Emperor Doom even though he's cheaper than regular Doom was and has the better tunic cut for posing. Is it just because it's a modern storyline?

>>11549669
i genuinely despise mcu greebling

>>11549763
I already have two Dooms as it is, including the one with the better tunic, so I'm fine.

>>11549763
Correct.
No one cares about modern comics, there's about a 20 year cutoff that is constantly moving, realistically most comics have been shit far longer than 20 years too but people have nostalgia even for the bad ones now.

>>11549765
>Greebles, also called greeblies or nurnies, are small relief details used to give visual complexity to a model. The act of decorating a model with greebles is known as greebling. While greebling originated as a technique in filmmaking, it is commonly used in model-making, toy design, and kitbashing. The term "greeblies" was coined by George Lucas in the 1970s to describe details on model ships used in the production of Star Wars.

George Lucas coined the term for something in the original Star Wars, which is an unassailable work to any nerd. Thus greebling must be nerd approved.

>>11549768
Doesn't that mean by buying Emperor Doom now I'm investing in the future when the Emperor Doom storyline is seen as a highly nostalgic material and collectors will be starving for an Emperor Doom figure but they will all cost 74.99+Local Sales Tax+Tariff Duty+Drone Delivery Safety Charge+Human Worker Support Charge?

>>11549778
No, because even back in the 2000s people actually liked and read the edgy storylines but I legit don't think anyone actually legitimately reads anything modern and says it's good.

>>11549770
"Nerd" covers a whole host of different things.

>>11549790
Emperor Doom is not really an edgy storyline, I've read it (so far) and it's better than most modern comics I've read.

>>11549815
I meant that the storylines in the 2000s were edgy and people actually liked those. The stuff coming out now is so safely boring that no one can possibly care about it. And even when it isn't, it's just outright bad. DC is now publishing fetish material in the form of the Harley Quinn fart comic or a comic dedicated to Nightwing's ass.

>>11549818
Gamers wish the creators would pander to them like that. Only a few do. So I think comics pandering to fans is better than comics like I'm Not Starfire that pander to the writer/creator themselves only.

>>11549826
What are you even trying to say? Do you think actual readers want those fetish comics? No. They're purely for the writer to be a weirdo.

>>11549832
Female readers definitely want Nightwing butt comics. Harley is far more niche though

>>11549669
Looks like a fun custom project. I remember when people were buying up the cheapo AOU Hulkbuster Titan Hero as a fun endeavor for customizing.

>>11549434
Is 98 pretty much what you end up paying of you order from a jap site.

>>11549897
Right now it's actually entirely uncertain what you are going to pay or even when you will get your package from an import site.

>>11549897
I usually end up paying $75-$80 after shipping for a $60 figure when importing from Japan. So having to order from Amazon and pay $20 extra isn't the end of the world.

>>11549880
Gonna put him with my 375 FF

>>11549815
The art is AI-tier sloppa, like most comics nowadays.

>>11549765
>>11549770
Galactus is the only character I'd perfer to have as much greebles as possible. In fact since he is basically a quantum lifeform that appears different to each race, he should have greebles forming and swirling at all times like some living hypercube.

>>11549950
Does a human make it or is it actually made using AI?

>>11549960
What’s the difference?

>>11549950
This. Even back in the Bendis days of the 2000s, at least he was paired with A tier artists most of the time. Artists nowadays are legit terrible in every way.

That's 11 POA. It looks like his waist might have a swivel but I doubt it.

>>11550184
Out of the entire fantastic 4 wave? Very likely.

>>11550189
how much shampoo can it hold though

>>11548639
Im bummed the sentinel has been delayed, but given the prices these days its probably a blessing.
>>11550189
Atleast they gave this guy elbows and knees unlike the titan heroes sentinel.

>>11550321
But brother I am the family shampoo bottle

It's disturbing how people let such a beautiful figure fall into disrepair and don't even clean it before trying to sell it. The buyer has no way of knowing whether that's just a layer of dust that can be easily dusted off or if it's a layer of caked on grime that will be hard to remove and always mar the figure.

>>11550522
Is there a rumored zombie wave or something?

>>11549905
Yeah, if the difference is in the 10 dollar range i dont see how its worthwhile.

>>11550521
Kind of one of my biggest regrets in tou collecting was skipping on this. I'm just couldn't justify the size at the time. I even thought the price was fair. Still, even if I had the chance to get it now at the original price p, I still don't think I could justify him, even with more space in my new toy room, I just don't have anyplace to display a toddler sized figure.

>>11550525
Yeah, the only two reasons really as to order from Japan was to save that like $10 in the conversion rate and to get the figure a few weeks early.

>>11550564
He's a great centerpiece for sure, I had to sacrifice shelves for him, but he's worth it.

>>11550586
Classy setup anon. I'm a tad jelly of it even if I have like 90% the same stuff, just a much uglier clusterfuck. I really like the various dioramas you have going on. Very nice.

Galactus is so huge he accrues a quarter of a pound of dust yearly.

Get ready for the next wave of pegwarmers to clog Ollies. Seriously, why make toys of this garbage? McFarlane did the same thing with DC vs Vampires. This is disgusting, disrespectful and revolting product and the media associated with it shouldn't even be made, let alone the figures.

>>11550672

>>11550776
>>11550778
shouldn't this stuff have been out in time for the movie
what happened here

>>11550800
Normally, yes, but i guess sales are down so much that a vehicle like that can only be released for the holidays.

Back in the day, movie toylines used to get a second wind 6-12 months after the movie came out, because DVD/BD sales used to be so big that a movie that bombed could have a second chance at being successful if the home video release was huge. For a popular movie? Home video releases as much money as the opening weekend
Sales were so huge that movie toylines would become popular again.

But that doesn't happen anymore, because streaming does a really poor job at making money/marketing/being popular and studios don't spend time/money on advertising the DVD/BD release anymore, because they want everything to be streaming now.

Anyway, I hope to see the fantasticar at every Ross this October.

>>11550800
>>11550816
Honestly I'm surprised they didn't have anything ready to go for the movie. Even the ML figures didn't start showing up until weeks afterward.

Just sayin anon, I don't think anyone here buys those.

>>11551059
I think most people here are too broke(not poor) to be able to buy legends and up anymore. A cheap line is good for everyone and it’s the most comprehensive of any FF movie line.

>>11551061
Speak for yourself anon. I'm getting real sick of all the brokies projecting their bullshit all over /toy/.

>>11551012
Why is that baby floating in midair?

>>11551012
Here's the question I have for the average team completer who basically just A poses figures on a shelf. Why not just buy these? Unless you're doing dynamic posing, they're really all that is needed.

>>11551063
It’s the truth. Look at the age demo for legends and adult collectibles and the median income. These companies have priced out their customers. This isn’t an “if you’re poor you shouldn’t be buying toys” situation.

>>11551080
Yup
Don’t forget the majority are single and lucky if they’re pulling in$45k-$65k a year. They’re also getting raped on monthly expenses like rent while living paycheck to paycheck and don’t even have $200 in their bank accounts.

>>11551080
>>11551111
What is the actual age demo for Legends? 30-45?

>>11551113
Something like 25-40 I think

>>11551113
18-49 with the core being 25-39

>>11551127
>>11551119
Sounds like more Savage Land figures are needed

>>11551111
Once again speak for yourself. I'm able to afford my mortgage, bills, and hobbys just fine while also putting a little in savings away every month. Not everyone is living on the poverty level.

>>11551113
This is about right. I'm sorry but if you're in this age bracket and can't afford $25 action figures, you shouldn't be collection toys.

>>11551154
You're just a social butterfly so you were able to manipulate a manager into giving you a job that pays well. Most people who collect toys are not social butterflies.

>>11551198
Lmao what? I'm just good at my job and am not stupid enough to get fired. I've been at my company longer than my last two managers. Stop being such a loser or whatever you are

>>11551227
You realize you are an outlier right? The way things are going economically are unsustainable. Your smugness will get you beaten to death in the street over a $30 legends figure.

>>11551232
You're just projecting again. Not everyone who collects toys is as much of a loser as you are bud. Also, I'd just shoot you before you could "beat me in the streets" like the little rebel without a cause you are.

/toy/ needs to perpetually think of itself as the victim. I've seen people with physical disabilities not be as pathetic as some of the people here.

>>11551275
I used to be a perpetually online schizo, until I was forced to get a job. I do my job entirely through the internet. So I guess I still am a perpetually online schizo. But now I don't get to do what I want while online. Instead I must slave away doing what other people want. And no, I am not at work today, I am off. If I was at work I would not have time to post here.

As an aside, I remember when anons in these threads were saying that the F4 movie wave wouldn't do well. Funny how a good movie can sway people's opinions with the figures selling out than usual.

>>11551344
>good movie
I think it's more that every set of the team have been shitty and the movie ones are good enough for comic stand-ins atm.

>>11551344
Hasbro just underproduced them and retailers underbought them -- due to past MCU flops. We are on a downcycle for figures and production is more limited right now. Depending on how the tariffs go and how customers react to the coming price increases, we may be at the end stage of action figures even.

>>11551347
I'm still good with my retro carded set and Walgreens set. I could use some figures with updated face printing, but not enough to use movie figures as stand ins.

>>11551347
Those suits have never been used in comics. They don't look remotely like the comic suits. They are certainly not suitable comic stand ins, just like Emperor Doom is not a stand in for a Dr Doom, and why he is now digitally pegwarming while the retro carded Doom sold out fast even at $5 more and with weird horribly painted eyes

>>11551358
Btw I just looked and apparently Amazon was wrong when they priced Emperor Doom at 24.99 and corrected it later.

Marvel Legends have gone to 27.99 MSRP for 2026. No one here seems concerned.

>>11551375
No they aren't. I just paid $50 plus whatever shipping was for the Cyclops/Marvel Girl 2 pack.

>>11551381
>This pre-order item will be available to ship on approximately October 15, 2025

Can you read anon?

Doom is 2026. That 2 pack is 2025.

>>11551381
Yes anon that is the price of a 2 pack

>>11551375
Funny how I broke news before a toy news site did: https://toynewsi.com/278-59623

MSRP is going up.

>>11551375
I just realized Emperor Doom has a totally new head. I thought it was just the modern one with green eyes I was wrong

>>11551431
Looking again it even got a different belt, cowl and skirt

>>11551401
Literally not an issue bud. Stop being poor and get a job behind a computer. You are in the small minority of bitches that need to grow up and stop buying toys.

>>11551435
I already have a job behind a computer

>>11551431
At this point I don't think anyone really cares if they do tiny new parts on a lot of characters, because the new tooling isn't noticed by the customer. They would've been better off just leaving those parts the same and actually painting his gauntlets how they are in the story, because that lack of paint is noticeable. Once again, Hasbro priorities are wrong.

>>11551436
Now you just need to stop being poor bud

You mean these golden parts on his armor? I didn't read the story but yeah seems like a typical lazy job from Hasbro. I only own the original Super Skrull Doom and I had to paint the little details like the straps on his armor because seeing everything in grey was killing me.

>>11551520
Yeah the gold patterns. That was the first thing I noticed that was missing when I saw the figure reveal. If they had just used the old helmet it wouldn't have mattered at all

Anyone who tells you the age demographics for Marvel Legend is full of shit.
No one knows the actual age range for who buys MLs specifically.

The most we know is that ~40% of people who buy action figures (in total) are 15+ year olds.
So 60% of action figure consumers 14 years old and younger, and this includes sales for NECA/Figma/Figuarts/Diamond/Mezco too.

>>11551626
90% of transactions are digital. They know the exact demo.

>>11551659
They cannot distinguish gift givers from collectors

>>11551661
They can by frequency and what’s purchased along with it

>>11551661
That wasn't the point of contention. We're talking about people who are buying Legends. That includes collectors and gift givers.

>>11551661
NPD and other research companies do surveys every week/month, so they know the statistics, hence knowing 60% of action figures being for kids 14 years old and younger.

If there's a more specific survey for Marvel Legends specifically, it either doesn't exist or no one has ever talekd about it.

Here's one for GI Joe from back in the 00s, which Hasbro themselves said had the biggest oldest demographic out of any children's toyline back in 2010 or 2011

>>11551682
I originally asked for the "age demo for Legends", meaning who was collecting them. Adding people giving figures as gifts to kids can really change the stats

>mafex rogue delayed again
It's the jacket, right?

>>11551659
And yet somehow target and Walmart don't know how many of each figure they have in their stores

>>11551004
woahg marvel legends 5 pack. HASTARDS EATING GOOD

>>11551949
Most likely, but practically everything in the line is getting delayed. They should be fixing the hair and smiling face sculpt while they're at it.

>>11551958
Stock has nothing to do with transaction data.
Having worked at both target and Walmart their toy distribution to each store is now automated from previous sells data. Most of their inventory works like that now.
