$28 is unreasonable

Mafex is superior

I’m honestly glad I waited and didn’t PO the Mafex.
I just don't think "more expensive" automatically means "better." Look at that thing. It's just plain ugly. What the hell is going on with that torso? Why doesn't he have a waist? Why does it make it look like he has little baby arms? Why the ugly gap at the shoulders?
I get that they were going for the Mike Zeck look, but the Punisher symbol just looks like a gormless mess and they over did the eyeliner.
I think Hasbro wins here, easily, with the caveat that yes, this figure has video game deco, but surely they'll issue it in the next year or so in proper black.
Everything's better. Symbol, head sculpt(s), proportions, costume. And it doesn't even have unsightly pins and pegs all over the joints.
I understand that people automatically want to equate a higher price with a higher quality product, but sometimes that just isn't the case.

>>11559314
i mean those are two different variants. not even the same suit

>>11559314
You posted this already.

>>11559328
Which figures have had that money case before?

>>11559307 (OP)
This is it boys, the turning point of ML Series. $28 is going to price out a lot collectors. These are mailine releases at your local grocery store, not some specialty figs. $28! For most collectors, thats like 3 hours of work. Demand is going to sink even deeper, even if the Hasbro team is now focusing on figs everyone had been asking for for years and largely ignored because of MCU. If you got Ollie and ROSS nearby, good for you, you might still be able to collect them. I predict Hasbro is going to really pull back on production starting next year, and start trimming all the adult collector brand teams. SW team will be the first to get hit. They haven't got their shit together in a long time and fans are not buying. ML are already missing in most stores now. In just a few months, stores are going to dedicate only 1 peg for ML, and fille the space with Mr Beast and Skibidi shit.

>>11559361
This is AI generated. Third world brokies can't even shitpost without help anymore.

>>11559313
sh is the one that looks like andrew the most and it has gorgueous paint appsm they fucked up the head but Farhul salvages it

the mafex is a good and fun toy superior to sh in that deparment but its like a toy of the cgi andrew or the double rather than the actor himself

>>11559314
Just a matter of bad promo shot on the right. It will be the superior figure in the end kek.

>>11559366
>looks like andrew
>doesn’t have a headsculpt & has a weird alien head shape
hmmm

>>11559383
We need the Legends sculpt with SHF paint and Mafex articulation

>>11559389
lol, lmao even

>>11559389
does the legend even have a unique shoe bottom?

>>11559396
probably doesn’t even have toe joints lol

>>11559396
just realized the shf can’t hit this pose, the legends will probably snap thinking about this pose lol

>>11559312
I still ended up with Widow, Beast, Rachel, and Matt. I may not keep the Widow and Rachel orders but the other two are for sure.

>>11559383
>He doesn’t know

>>11559312
Considering none of them have sold out on Amazon yet, I'd say most people agree.

>>11559331
Sorry anon, I didn't mean to be so prophetic and for it to come true literally hours after I said it. My bad.

Everyone else, worry about your prices all you want. Civil War 2.0 is probably kicking off now so it doesn't matter.

>>11559459
what are u trying to say?

>>11559491
RIP Charlie Kirk

>>11559491
By this time next week, no one's gonna care that a big headed rightoid got shot.

>>11559528
Most people already don't.

>>11559314
this guy is gonna be daredevil all over again, no one thought he looked good either until people got him in hand and now you can't get him anywhere

>>11559335
Madam mask from the 2pk

Ebay proves people are insane plastic hoarders who will pay anything for plastic that looks like characters they tangentially saw in a comic they read once. Hasbro knows this.

>>11559573
>anon loses an auction

>>11559573
>It's all a conspiracy man! They make things out of plastic you get me? They make it into things you want! You want it and then you BUY it man! That's how they get you!

>>11559573
You've posted this already. Go away.

>>11559579
I didn't bother to bid as it was past 10 bucks, which is about what those old figures are worth.

>>11559586
Show me where "I" posted it

>>11559592
You say some slight variation of the same thing every thread. Stop being such an artistic fuck.

>>11559383
>doesn’t have a headsculpt & has a weird alien head shape
nta but Andrew does have a weird neck/head.

>>11559573
>$16 over retail for a decade old figure
the sky is falling

>>11559573
What are you even complaining about exactly? That people buy toys of characters they like?

>>11559328
Am I ACTUALLY going to buy a legends product at full price bros? This feels foreign to me.

Goddamn do we need a symbiote Black Widow figure

>>11559700
If we do, it will not have thighs or ass like that pic.

>>11559675
That they pay too much for toys of characters they like

>>11559731
>Being willing and able to pay for a figure you want is somehow a bad thing
>just because some random anon on 4chan thinks it's too expensive
You're a Gaylord

>>11559732
it’s not that it’s expensive, well atleast in my view. it’s that it’s creeping up to import prices. how many times have u bought a definitive figure only for it to be replaced in a year & half? i’ve seen this happen with wolvie & spidey.

that’s not the worst part imo, atleast with imports u get new molds, premium articulation & paint. These hasbros are reusing 6 different bodies all various ages & sometimes they still don’t give u pinless joints. U are lucky if u get extra hands because we all know hasbro isn’t gonna give us accessories.


Tariffs aside, hasbro excelled at VALUE. For both collectors & kids. Now parents and collectors will buy way less & perhaps dish out to premium brands if it feels like their value will be taken further

>>11559740
It's an out of print figure that came out a decade ago. Do you just not understand how the secondary market works? Are you actually this stupid?

i didn’t read all the replies so i thought u guys were just talking about the new 30 dollar figures

>>11559761
It's really difficult to argue in good faith with you guys when you're actually this retarded.

>>11559763
>click one reply

fuck me for not reading every single message right? lol

>>11559539
thats how it is for most mafex release, anyone remember when wolverine first released?

So I'm making a custom kitbashing Hasbro base bodies but the last thing it needs is a cape. Kind of a weird ask but given the choice: would anons prefer cloth or platic capes on your ML figures? On one hand, a decent plastic cape grants a fixed silhouette that doesn't need adjusting, on the other hand a properly wired cloth cape grants more posing options/versatility.

>>11559775
>Doubling down after admitting you're a retard
You faggots see insufferable

>>11559786
Capes on men are gay and lame and you should be ashamed of them. As for women I say soft plastic is always better than some cheap cloth.

>>11559503
Rest in Piss

>>11559786
Definitely a wired cloth cape. Being able to adjust the cape to match poses far outweighs any long term issues compared to a static plastic cape.

>>11559918
Makes sense. I'll go looking for some good quality 3rd party cloth capes from the usual sellers. If it doesn't work out I still have a decent plastic cape on hand to fall back on.

>>11559478
I dunno about that, aside from Surfer, are there any really big names in that wave that aren't a one off look? Beast and Widow aren't their classic looks, DD is only proto Daredevil, And Feral and Rachel aren't big enough names. Quite frankly, I'm surprised Surfer didn't sell out, but that could be just because most people already have the Walgreens one and don't view this as worth the upgrade.

>>11559607
That's not me, it's just other people fed up with you people who think an old toy is worth more than msrp instead of less. Because it's OLD.

>>11560060
Surfer didn't sell out because people are fake fans and think this is the male spinoff version or something.

Apparently MCU Dr Doom got revealed in Shanghai

>>11560141
>making up random bullshit in your own head just to get upset at
You guys are not mentally well

They look fantastic. Best line they've done in years

>>11560299
It's your nostalgia speaking. They're just typical MLs. Some still even have pins.

>>11560176
Looks like just a generic Dr Doom.

the Doomsday figures can’t come soon enough

>>11560350
IMO he looks SICK!

>>11560350
That looks fucking great

>>11560350
MCU Doom? If so, not bad

>>11560338
>STAHP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE
lmao

>>11560350
Yoooo

>>11559323
This is the best reveal yet.

>>11559503
Good riddance to the traiotor who befriended dog murderers. But he called for the Epstein files to be released so Trump ended him. Real liberals would be wiping you subhumans out in droves like you deserve.

>>11560299
Just noticed claw is bent and Amazon seems to be oos. Think it's just soft plastic that can be bent back? I'm not opening these sets yet

>>11560400
Rouge hates you.

>>11560350
Chainmail and a non cgi on/off mask? In this economy?

>>11560350
Yeah, I'm thinking the MCU is back.

Hasbro has trained their fans too well for the price increase to not succeed. I still see figures selling out at $28. And Amazon is now havin' a giggle with people upping the price to 29.99 like they used to up 24.99 to 27.99. Next price increase is coming in less than a year.

>>11560485
Bitch. Take a break from the Internet.

>>11560401
is this your first marvel legends figure? Yes it's easily fixable. heat then cold.

Still sucks that all the Marvel adaptation stuff is no go for marvel legends, even though Hasbro makes the series

What are the options for adding high heels to a Marvel Legends figure? Hasbro has a bad habit of not giving heels to figures that really should have them. Is there anybody out there doing, like, replacement feet?

Also, is there a thread for figure customizing?

>>11560483
Nope. Doom is just an evil Iron Man variant in the MCU. You cretins are so easily impressed.

Hey maybe you can Help me:

Were these upper arms ever released in another figure? I know the jacket sans the sleves was reused for a Marvel Universe Storm variant (future, punk Storm) but the upper arms?

>>11560532
Janine from Ghostbusters as Rogue

>>11560502

>>11560532
Jubilee, maybe?

>>11560518
>Evil iron man variant
>Has been refereed to as Victor Von Doom by the russos, marvel & variety


ok lol

>>11560535
It's a genuine question, and an illustration of the issue I'm trying to fix

>>11560537
In 15 years people will look back at the figures we are buying now and wonder why we bought them

>>11560556
Cool, so they cast someone who in no way looks like their main star?

>>11560569
you mean a guy who has a fucked up face under the mask

>>11560568
there are people who still defend the figures from 20 years ago

I noticed that only the coomer figures from the latest wave are selling out. Hasbro needs to take a hint

>>11560577
Yeah, the Hollywood megastar who will have flashbacks and be cured totally won't show his marketable face or any of his famous mannerisms.

>>11560584
I don't even like Excalibur, but yeah, I couldn't resist.

>>11560537
Thanks!

>>11560597
She's hot!

>>11560581
Nobody defends those. Hasbro had a rough start with Legends, but they got so much better later. And now they can be phenomenal.

I have Silver Surfer and Jubilee on preorder. They are my first Marvel Legends figures. Kind of want a Spidey but it seems like they're all $50 for some reason.

>>11560658
kino desu

>>11560592
>this guy thinks Doom will have jarvis under the mask & talk to him asking him to buff the magic 80%
>while the camera cuts to his face under the mask smirking while he says “how about that?”

i have no doubt we will see RDJ face once or twice

but i mean it’s called acting. u think they want Tony Stark(RDJ) with his zesty mannerism and jokes on Dr Doom?

It’s like u can’t accept this, but can accept that johnny storm wasn’t Cap in DP3

>>11560658
Looks awful. Proportions look nothing like the game.

>>11560835
I mean they could have just sculpted a better physique retard. And it’s not just the lats and shoulders, his legs aren’t defined enough and his head to too big.

>>11559426
Never knew he has such a long neck

>>11559396
I just checked mine, nope, just the normal ML feet

>>11560771
Disney Adults are really something else.

You guys really do just make shitnup in your own heads to get outraged at don't you? Holy shit. What's actually wrong with all of you? Why are you like this?

>>11560584
>>11560597
>>11560609
>I couldn't help get a big ol' bonerino when looking at these toys made for babies to smash together that I myself was getting quite chunky in my pants.
coomer fags really need to make everything about masturbation huh? no wonder Texas is banning porn in everything

>>11560816
if the figure had a torso shaped like that you would be freaking out about how awful it looks.

I guess you didn't know this, but action figures have to have set proportions, while video game characters, especially very good hand drawn 2D sprites, can change proportions mid-animation. It's a basic principle of animation.

Am I dumb for waiting for Hasbro to do single card Gamerverse releases?

Unironically, Rachel's short hair and latex fetish wear always got me going, so I just had to get her.

>>11561046
Why do you think we care about your fetish?

>>11560597
This is a wide mainline release, what are the chances of TARGEt stacking her on a single peg like the last wave?

Coomers eating better now. Maybe they do want some money after all.

REMOVE THE SWEEPER AND ITS HORRIBLE RETICLE!!

>>11561109
What does Robo do with all his customs when the real thing is released?

>>11561144
he said he has a dedicated shelf for customs that get official releases or displayed with other teams that also have the character.

>>11561049
I do.

>>11561049
BDSM butches are high tier fetish. What do you like, big boobs? Like a literal baby?

After making a big deal on the live stream about having a clean shield, I thought they meant giving him a clean 20th anniversary shield. Turns out it’s just the 80th repaint, my fault for not looking closely, but why act like you’re giving him a better shield on live ffs

>>11561197
they really fucked up on the butterfly joints, his chest looks so narrow.

>>11561109
>>11561144
>>11561159
Did you just name drop a wholesome robo don't know kino reference?

>>11561214
Bitch, bitch, bitch

>>11561041
As long as you don't buy the 2 packs when you realize there's not going to be any single carded mvc stuff then you are fine. You saved a lot of money on worthless plastic

>>11561197
20th anniversary Cap is still best Cap, I don't care what anyone says. Mafex comes close, but I'm personally not as big of a fan of the particular style they chose. At that point it really just depends on which styling you prefer tbqh.

I never see new MLs on sale

>>11561317
Ok? Not everyone needs to resort to dumpster diving at Ollies anon.

>>11561319
I was speaking of online

>>11561322
Nothing of true value ever goes on sale. Only figures that are on sale are ones that nobody wants. The last few waves and the Gamerverse 2 packs have all been bangers. Even the F4 wave was well received since the movie turned out to be not shit. The n ky real stinker this year was the Gamerverse Spider Man wave with all the terrible suit designs from the 2nd Insomniac game.

>>11561339
>Nothing of true value ever goes on sale.
Well here's the thing, we all know toys are not of true value. You need to say "nothing most people actually want" or something when it comes to toys.

>>11561348
Shut up faggot.

Who is your favorite big villain figure? These are my top 3, but gotta say Titaniumman is still #1.
Also its crazy to think that the Mephisto is the same price as Dragonman, but only the height of Ronan. Looking forward to see how he looks with silver surfer.

>>11561381
It would be better if you actually read Silver Surfer Vol. 1 #3, fake fan.

>>11561225
consume. consume. consume.

>>11561385
I don't know what you mean. I've already read the entire 1968 run.

>>11561386
We're on a board about collecting plastic effigies to our favorite pop culture characters. The whole hobby is about consuming. Not sure if this is the spam dunk of an insult as you think it is.

>>11561389
But one can stop consuming, and start ENJOYING. As an ENJOYER, you merely bask and use your current collection without adding to it.

>>11561420
Why does it have to be mutually exclusive? Why can't you enjoy your current collection while building it?

>>11561423
They don't. But when the figures are not longer worth buying, that is when one becomes an enjoyer instead of a consumer.

>>11561428
* no longer

>>11561428
>>11561429
Just because you don't think something is worth it doesn't mean everyone else does. Stop being so autistic.

>>11561433
How much do you think this figure is worth?

>>11561452
What does it matter what I think? Just because I don't like McFarlanes doesn't mean they're worth it not worth it to someone. Once again, stop being such an autismo.

>>11561381
MCU: Dr Doom, Green Goblin, Ultron

>>11561452
>little paint
>average sculpt
>average articulation
No more than $15 at Walmart.

Of course I'm sure nowadays they're charging $40 or some crazy shit.

>>11561483
Collectors' brains truly have all been affected by all the price inflation and pressure from these toy companies to think that is worth anywhere near asking price.

You seriously think even a horrible, ugly figure with incorrect boot sculpts, niblets hanging off his abs, heavy ratcheted joints, cuts all over the place six ways to Sunday but no posability to show for it, pins, and an obvious diaper is worth $15? I expected better from Marvel gen. I feel like I'm on another planet here.

It's like 9 bucks max. Back in 2020-2021 figures like that were on Walmart and Target pegs for as low as 5-6 dollars. Does no one remember this? It was less than 5 years ago! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED? Just because less of the figures are made now they're worth more even though they're just as bad?

>>11561517
It looks like a Marvel Legends from 2015, so I'm pricing it like one, anon. You should know prices are never based off an objects worth, but what a company can force you to pay for it.

>>11560816
>action figures should have muscles that change the figure's shape when you move them
fucking ret- ... hmmm actually that would be awesome.

>>11561529
Bandai has model kits that do this. It's neat, but also obviously ruins a sculpt to an extent. Depends whether you value a neat feature or a sculpt more. Also they've only done it for model kits, not actual figures.

>>11561517
>Back in 2020-2021 figures like that were on Walmart and Target pegs for as low as 5-6 dollars
Pegwarmers that no one else wanted hardly count anon. I mean I got Lady Loki for $8 like two years ago.

>$80 to import Mafex Spidey…
man… this sucks

>>11561339
>Even the F4 wave was well received since the movie turned out to be not shit.

Notice how much better venom looks with BIGGER shoulders and an appropriate head size. If this venom had better articulation it would have been the definitive version. Brutally mogs the pitiful walmart version.

>>11561564
No one wants that Dark Flash either. It's available at multiple places still despite being released last year and how low mcfarlane manufacturing runs are now. The only difference is stores are reluctant to drop their prices anymore

>>11561569
Welcome to bbtsworld

>>11561791
Hopefully in another 3 years we can get a pinless black version of this with a Bagley head.

>>11561843
>in another 3 years
It's cost $200 by that point, assuming they are still making figures

>>11561844
My god, is all you do bitch about getting priced out of the hobby? God fucking damn dude. It's getting old. Sorry that you can't afford MLs anymore, but this isn't our problem.

>>11561843
Probably be locked behind some retarded ass 2 pack.

>>11561791

Instantly know you're a faggot

>>11561791
Yes anon, those grapes are definitely sour.

>>11561882

>perfect Venom
>Anti-Spider-Gwen
>Clone Miles Morales
>Rek-Rap
>Paul

>>11561902
No idea who rek-rap is but i am gonna guess Paul is that guy everyone hates from the new Spider-Man comics

>>11561817
won’t the pricing be the same at bbts?

when i was checking out DHL charged the 30 shipping but added duties & handling fee to bring it up to 80.


it’s not the de minimis exemption. which would have been the regular shipping cost, plus $80 to bring it close to 100 bucks

>>11561938
>No idea who rek-rap is
You genuinely don't know how lucky you are anon. Hold on to that.

>>11561943
If you are indeed actually paying $80 + shipping on top of the cost of the actual figures, yeah BBTS will be cheaper. Amazon actually will be probably the cheapest if they get the item in. I'm seeing Mafex Hush Batman for about $100 which isn't awful all things considering.

>>11561381
Mojo from the TV Pack is my top one. I can't get over how perfect that figure is.

It's out

>>11562066
yes now I can pretend to be gay for ryan reynolds

>>11562066
Why do people buy these?

>>11562066
>memeslop from a mememovie

>>11562103
>I hate good things, grrrr!

>>11561420
Yeah for real. Just get Mafex Cap whenever that's reissued. What's the point of getting one with a weird chest? Also probably feels rubbery and made out of the cheapest shit kek...

>>11561522
>It looks like a Marvel Legends from 2015, so I'm pricing it like one, anon. You should know prices are never based off an objects worth

I asked how much it was worth though >>11561452

New CT Toys Mafex Tobey bootleg is looking rough.

>>11562189
Again, pricing isn't worth.

If you want worth, probably 20k in mould's, and then about 3 cents in plastic and paint per figure.

>>11562189
What does it even matter what he thinks it's worth?

>>11562150
The 'movie' undid the only good thing Fox ever made with Logan for le epic lolz.

>>11562259
How many "endings" has the Fox universe had so far?

>>11562196
This can't be real

>>11562210
I didn't ask you for price or manufacturing costs either.

>>11562196
That's a sex doll head sculpt

>>11562271
Can you please answer >>11562211

>>11562196
Did people preorder this without knowing that the headsculpt would be that?

>>11562271
I think it's worthless because I don't care for the figure or the character.

>>11562279
Excellent, now we are far closer to the assessments people should be making about these figures. These are the kind of assessments which benefit the consumer and lower prices for the average buyer.

>>11562285
NTA but just because I don't care for the figure doesn't mean it's worthless to someone who does care for it. Stop being so narrow minded and selfish. The world doesn't revolve around you or me or anyone else. But getting butt mad because someone else likes something that you don't or sees value in something you don't is beyond gay, autistic, and gives off incel vibes. Get over yourself and realize that other people can want things you don't.

Sorry for the rant but I'm so sick of this immature behavior where people try to shame or shit on someone else just because they like an action figure you don't. It's the cringiest and most self centered garbage I've ever seen.

>>11562289
NTA, but people should be shamed for buying garbage though. Like funkoshit or similar low effort soon to be landfill pollution. If I had my way, the absolute minimum quality standard for a figure would be AY, figma, or SHF tier.

>>11562289
NTA but I'm sick of this type of toxic positivity in fandom. Let people shit on stuff if they want, stop crying.

>>11562300
Shut the fuck up you goddamn idiot. You collect fucking little plastic effigies to funny book characters from the goddamn sixties. You have no place to judge what anyone else collects bro. You're as much of a whale as anyone else who collects anything. Get the fuck over yourself.

>>11562304
>Toxic positivity
What the fuck even is this? Seriously? I'm not telling you that you shouldn't not like a figure you don't like. I don't like ANY McFarlanes for my own reasons so I don't collect them. But you don't see me going around and shitting on other people who do happen to like them. Trying to shake someone just because they don't fall in line with your own line of thinking is the truly toxic behavior here. You're free to not like something and you're free to shit on it all you want. Just stop acting flabbergasted by the motion that someone has a differing opinion than you. It's painfully autistic and quite frankly this kind of culture is what has ruined this board.

I'm sorry that you're priced out of collecting toys, but stop taking it out on the rest of us. I'm sick of seeing a slight variation of the same complaints that people like toys you don't. It's behind tiresome.

>>11562309
You are a retard

>>11562310
Thanks for proving my point you fucking baby.

>>11562309
You yelling at everyone to be nice is toxic positivity.

>>11562309
>You collect fucking little plastic effigies to funny book characters
Thats right, and I demand quality products. If you don't deliver them you get none of my money.

>>11562313
Som would you rather everyone just shit on everything? No one actually posting things they enjoy? Just shitting in people because they like something you don't? Is that what you want?

>>11562317
Ok? Why do you insist on making it /toy/s problem? Don't buy the toy and move on. Jesus.

>>11562318
>Ok? Why do you insist on making it /toy/s problem?
I don't. I'm just stating my intent. I'm not one of your internet boogeymen, anon, so maybe chill the fuck out you sperging retard.

>>11562320
>I'm just stating my intent.
No one cares anon. You don't need to announce you're obstaining from buying a toy like a vegan announcing how they only eat tofu. I'll say it again, get over yourself.

Notice how we have more posts of people saying they're not buying toys than posts of people actually posting their toys? There's a reason for that. And it's because of you whiney little cucks.

>>11562322
If you didn't care why are you whining?

>>11562323
Because you're annoying.

>>11562318
>Som would you rather everyone just shit on everything
Sir, this is 4chan. Where do you think you are? Yes, I would like that for at least 1 place on the internet where we aren't pretending to like everything for views and likes

>>11562327
>Pretending to like things for views and likes
Holy shit how broken are you? Views and likes? Take a fucking break from the goddamn Internet. For real. You're at an unhealthy point. I don't know about you but I come to this board because I like toys. I'm not looking for attention for views for likes. It's in fact, why I solely post on this site about toys. I genuinely like Marvel, at least pre 2016 Marvel, and I genuinely like toys. I don't post pictures of my toys because I get some gay Internet clout that doesn't mean anything. Stop being such an insecure faggot. It's beyond cringe.

>>11562330
Could you post more words?

>>11562333
I accept your concession you insecure loser. Go touch some grass.

>>11561381
shut up kanji

Genuinely, why is this thread like this? What's wrong with you people?

>>11562351
The whole board seems to have gone extra retarded lately.

>>11562196
Top jej, back to the mask Potar Porkar

>>11562351
People are kind of losing it now that the cheaper options for toy collecting are drying up. It sucks for them, but not sure why they need to take it out on /toy/.

>>11562351
Prices have hit the point where a large portion are now priced out and most figures are not going on sale so there is no real option. People addicted to plastic for years are now starving for plastic. This is a real addiction. Have you seen an addict going through withdrawal? It's not pretty.

>>11559704
Just a new head and paint job on the existing Black Widow?

I wish there was a venom figure that looked like this.

I miss this toyline. I want 4 inch toys with as much articulation.

Andrew has a long ass inhuman neck with a alíen shaped face
S.h. Nailed almost everything to a fault, well, almost everything, They fucked up the traps.
Regardless
The most accurated Andrew is SH +Fahrul head, Legends and mafex are likely based on renders and not the actor.
Mafex is still more fun tho

>>11562742
SH is always the inferior figure though

>>11562524
Is she canonically balding?

>>11562787
No, but I am. Feelsbadman

Reminder, don't buy used figures

>>11562932
Did you not get a picture of the figure before buying?

>>11562946
I got pics, but from the quality of them, I couldn't tell that it had been drawn on with a marker. Also didn't know it would smell like cigarette smoke. My fault at the end of the day, might just shell out for the whole set new and sell off this one at a loss.

>>11562932
Sounds like you fucked up.

>>11562949
If it smells like smoke the best solution I've found is sticking it in a plastic baggy with a few dryer sheets works. I wash the figure with soap and water first but then leave it in the baggy for a few days and it gets rid of the smoke smell.

>>11562932
whats the problem here

Can anybody recommend a maid dress that would fit on MLs?

>>11562356
>>11562414
Is that really what's been happening? The board has been crashing out for weeks.

>>11563044

>>11563016
Ask the coomer general, they'll probably know. Kind of putting lipstick on a pig though to waste figure clothes on dumpy ass ML's however.

>>11563107

Are Marvel Legends heads largely interchangeable?

>>11563159
Yes and no. There's no standard neck peg or neck size so even though you can interchange most heads, often you'll end up with a figure whose neck is too short or too long, or the head socket might be too loose. Generally if two figures use the same type of body then there's a good chance the heads will be interchangeable but it's not always a sure thing.

Soon.

>>11563146
That's not even a dress, it's a bodysuit, a shrug, and an apron.

I prefer ultimate Thor’s look over 616
I think him cyclops and green goblin are the only other designs left from the ultimate universe I want.

WARNING: Lunatic claiming to be an insider says Marvel Legends will be going higher than $27.99 by around summer 2026 when Mattel starts their DC line >>11563589

>>11563592
That's not an insider. You can't believe anything here without actual evidence to back it up. The guy is clearly just making shit up. Stop being a drama queen.

is it my tycoon map or is all xp slow? i remember i used gain like 2 levels in 10 min. now its a drag

>>11563592
You don’t need to be an insider to see the way things are going. Justified or not legends will definitely be over $30 by this time next year.

>>11563686
I don't know who to believe. If they were to do that they will lose a huge amount of sales, more than I can imagine they can pick up by the extra 5 bucks or so or whatever.

But maybe this is part of their move to Boston.Maybe they intend to get out of the game soon. I recall people saying the average person actually working on the toys can't afford to live in Boston, only higher ups.

Only thing is, why did they renew the licenses then? It would've been a perfect time now that they knew about the tariffs to drop MLs/SW and pivot

>>11563686
No one important cares if they raise it to $30. They just have to feel worth the price ie more accessories and modern articulation schemes with better body sculpts. That won’t happen though hastards love the slop that they are getting. We’ll NEVER get a big titty Widow.

>>11563774
we all know they will remain exactly the same as what Hasbro puts out now. They are capable of no more. Ryan even let us inside the Hasbro farms a bit on a recent stream and said they have profit targets that figure waves (or individual figures in the case of 1 of releases) have to hit, and if it can't be projected to hit those targets, it's not getting made.

>>11563826
No shit that’s common sense.

>>11563774
Yeah, only the Olliepops and other brokies really give this much of a shit about the prices. Yeah, more expensive sucks, but $30 on a few MLs every few months is hardly expensive imo. I have other hobbies that are much more expensive.

which ML got the best
>head
>boobs

>>11563884
Best is entirely subjective and differs one person to the next.

>>11563876
You've mentioned this many a time if you're the usual "I have other hobbies that are much more expensive." guy

>>11563923
Does that bother you?

>>11563876
You realize that includes the majority of the US, right? We know the statistics about how many are in CC debt and/or are living paycheck to paycheck

>>11563884
Why would you ask that kind of question?

>>11563947
Sorry, but it isn't really my problem if you or the rest of the country is incapable of properly managing your money. I don't really feel very empathetic towards someone who spends money on toys while barely being able to afford your bills.

>>11563978
It isn't about managing money. You're overgeneralizing a problem that the US is WHOLLY suffering from.

>>11563980
Once again, I don't give a fuck. Why do you need for me to act all sad for these people?

>>11563982
I dub thee sociopath anon. Welcome to the craziest of /toy/, you'll fit right in. Even a guy as rich as the Tydirium Hanger guy who retired young cares about toy prices and how they affect others and himself.

Anyone who bought the Marvel Legend for this suit got fooled

>>11564555
It'll cost 3x as much as the ML, I certainly hope it'll be better. Not sure how this is supposed to be a dunk on the ML though.

>>11564561
Watch out bro, those Marvel Legends prices are creeping up faster than you think

>>11564568
And what does that have to do with a figure that was released what? A year and half ago?

Why are you all like this? Do you just post nonsense for the sake of posting?

>>11564575
>>11564618
Three:Zero will soon be able to compete with Marvel Legends given the rumored price increase schedule of Marvel Legends

>>11564644
That still doesn't have anything to do with a figure that has long been sold out.

>>11564307
Why are the textures so overdone

Why are the webs raised, it doesn't look like that in the game

Why are his thighs so long/knees so low

>>11564702
Stylistic choices. Not everything is going to be EXACTLY as it appears on the screen. I mean gosh, how autistic are you people?

>>11564702
It's due to house style. Some art houses add artistic flourishes rather than just adding paint to a blank body buck

>>11564711
purposefully fucking up the leg proportions is a great stylistic choice.

If the inaccuracies are "stylistic choices, why didn't any of their previously released iron man figures have any massive design differences?

>>11564790
Because who the fuck knows? I don't work for ThreeZero, I'm just pointing out the most obvious fucking answer. Don't get mad at me for it.

>>11564790
I suspect the first 2 here are stylistic choices >>11564702

But the leg issue is probably just another sculptor not knowing anatomy. Humans don't look at other humans anymore. They just look at computer screens.

>>11564307
Damn. Out of nowhere. I know they did megaman, but don't tell me 3Z are the next to jump into the 1/12 space after Storm.
I need them to hurry up and finish their 1/6 Berserk line!

>>11564561
Hasbro could at least try considering how many original sculpts they've put out for the Spider-Man games while consistently leaving behind the main star that got people into the game in the first place.

>>11559313
You mean Revoltech

>>11562196

Man this looks cool but I've never owned a Figuarts, what should I expect?

Anthony thinks the new 2 pack Wolverine is the greatest thing since sliced bread and seemingly the best Wolverine any company has ever made. Do you agree? I think he's a bit out of his mind given imports exist and the problems with it that he himself pointed out.

>>11565146
Did you read the full post? I disagree with him

>>11564811
Seems to have been done intentionally, because I think these knees look amazing.

>>11565155
Well the knees look good if you only look at the knee, but the proportions are wrong. I assume they could've just made the upper leg shorter or the bottom leg longer with slight adjustments for size/musculature and kept the same knee though

>>11563884

>>11565177
Yeah, watch Hasbro do an unpainted chest with a better face. Maybe with AbsorbingMan, or Volcana. Maybe a pinless secret Wars Dr Doom using the Ironman legs and arms with the gun.
Titania is my favorite Marvel Legends figure, I really hope they make one with a different face.

>>11564307
where are threezero situated? they american or jap? their figures are so overpriced i can never justify buying them

>>11562518
same and they could do much better now then 10 years ago too bad they would probably cost 20 bucks a figure if made today.

>>11565309
They're Chinese, apparently Hong Kong.

>>11563774
No one important cares about action figures period. But we unimportant people. Well, Hasbro has high hopes for us. That we continue to suffer. Unto eternity.

>>11565478
You know, no one is forcing you to buy these things. You can always just not buy them.

>>11565130
I really couldn't give two fucks about that hack's opinions on any toy.

>>11564702
I think it's less that the actual thighs are long and more like they cut way too high/deep into the crotch that the surrounding parts end up looking like they're part of the thighs. Probably their way of allowing deep stances with the hips without going the SHF route, so the crotch piece looking like a high-cut speedo is no coincidence.

>>11565508
If I don't buy them I will suffer. If I do buy them, I will suffer. Only the death of the Marvel Legends line can bring the sweet finality of release.

>>11565526
Anon, no one thinks your overly dramatic bullshit is amusing. Go away. You are a waste of space.

Found the Warmachjne VS Omega Red box set in the wild. Haven't bought an ML in like 10 or so years. Were they always this big? Also kinda strange they did his tentacles in metallic. They were white in the games, and this is supposed to be "Gamerverse", isn't it?

They haven't done an original appearance Jessica Drew with the hooded head yet, right?

>>11566014
>kinda strange they did his tentacles in metallic. They were white in the games
I don't think they were

ML Blob is down to $60 right now on BBTS. That was just over his original MSRP from back in 2023. Grab him if you need him.

Is Amazon's AI pricing just a silly joke or is it insidious?

>>11566110
They do this with every wave. I think it's because the AI gets confused because of the initial rush to pre order them. Generally, if they don't sell out, the prices correct s bit after they release.

>>11566014
nah, they've gotten bigger
the size creep is real

>>11566114
I have a darker suspicion. I think it's not a mistake in the AI but instead an intentional 'feature' to generate FOMO. So basically it conditions people to preorder in the first few days by scaring anyone who comes later and sees that the price went up. (So next time those people will order as soon as they can). This makes it less likely for people to wait and try to play clearance chicken later because they can see they might end up paying more even from Amazon itself, not even third party sellers.

Why do people dislike the ML Secret Wars Iron Man?

>>11566121
Unless I'm mistaken, it's more so that most people have already gotten some version of that mold already.

>>11566121
They don't? It's just they've released that Iron Man in different colors several times now so not too many people wanted it, as opposed to say Cap, who only had two figures on that mold previously. Meanwhile Iron Man had like three or four. I just snagged him for $15 from BBTS with Blob. I've been wanting him to go cheap since I want the roller skates for a custom. I'll find a place for the figure though.

>>11566110
>>11566114
How much more dystopian will this hobby get? Variable prices tailored to how much each individual is predicted to be willing to pay over MSRP based on analytics data gathered about them? Requiring a subscription to preorder? Linking price to adblock usage?

>>11566121
blue unibeam

>>11566138
The sky is falling, we know. Goddamn stop being such a ninny.

>>11566143
How can you people who spend a ton on action figures yearly be so unconcerned?

>>11566144
Because I'm not poor enough for a $3 price difference to run around like chicken little.

>>11566149
Anon, that Deadpool is a 12 dollar markup >>11566138

Max Deadpool is 50. They're charging 62.

>>11566179
Ok, then get it at one of the other half dozen places that aren't charging $62. I was referring to the recent price increase. I don't count one off prices like this when there are plenty of other options available at the standard MSRP. It's a one-off, don't look too much into it. Amazon's algorithmic pricing is garbage and shouldn't be used as the reference to price.

>>11566179
And 50 I'd argue is 20 more than it should be, or more. But you know everything is fine we weren't wrong etc etc. Shits dumb and just gonna get worse while being praised.

Oh, so thats why the Blackbird will never be a Haslab.

>>11566115
Ok, so it's not just me then. He towers over my AY Wolverine even in a squatting bent over action pose. Then again, it is Wolverine, dude is like 4'5.

>>11566389
If 3rd party TF companies can make like a 6ft tall Metroplex, Hasbro can make a fuckin' Blackbird.

>>11566405
Yeah but can you imagine how much Hasbro would want to charge for something that big

>>11566075
Nope. I've just started reading that run so would be nice.

Just got a bunch of alerts from Amazon that my X-Men 97 wave and a few other items got pushed up to be delivered this weekend and next Monday. Anyone else? Shit kinda sucks, my wallet is gonna get pounded by this and I have had an expensive month for bills this month.

>>11566389
Seeing this they could easily sell the Blackbird as a model kit, it's just a few panels and decals.

>>11566594
Dumbed-down model kits is probably how they should be doing vehicles larger than, say, a truck.

>>11566578
Poor people problems

>>11566617
Eh, I'll be fine, it's just kind of annoying since I didn't expect them for another month. I wish Hasbro could keep their pre-orders straight. Especially since Jubilee for whatever reason is the only one who is still coming out in October. Get your shit together Amazon/Hasbro

52 minutes of wholesome Robo Marvel Legends goodness just dropped while I eat my yummy cereal for my tummy.

Just got charged for the Mandarin 2-pack, so I guess we'll be seeing those pop up sooner than later.

Is Big Bad Toy Store a reliable place to preorder from?

>>11566735
Hello newfriend. Yes, BBTS is reliable for pre orders.

>>11566744
Cool, thanks.

Yeah I've never actually preordered an action figure before, but I missed the previous Emma Frost, and I missed the Ch'od wave Emma Frost, and then I missed the Goblin Queen, and I'll be damned if I miss the new Emma Frost.

>>11566756
She's currently available on Amazon as well to ship in like a week and a half. You may get her quicker than BBTS and it will probably be cheaper if you already have Prime.

apparently cyclops outfit got leaked for Doomsday and it’s quite something alright

>>11566777
Sweet, thanks! Grabbed two

>>11566423
It's a Haslab, it's already overpriced. Deal with it if you want it, otherwise, you don't want it.

>>11566578
I still haven't gotten notice about Juggernaut or Shuma Gorath, despite POing them on Amazon the very second they went up.

>>11566778
Nope. Lying faggot.

>>11566796
My Shuma got pushed up like a week early, but all my other pre-orders, the 97 wave and the Mandarin 2 pack, except for Jubilee, all got pushed up to this weekend. I even had my Black Series RotS Anakin get pushed up to this weekend, not Obi Wan though which is kinda weird.

>>11566389
>>11566793
I wouldn't want something this big on display. any kind of action figure vehicle only needs to be big enough to sit 4 figures.
this is just plain overindulgence and yet the worst part are retards going off about how hasbro doesn't do more but still want haslab size figures on retail at hasbro's loss. these retards don't even understand business.

>>11566678
The sooner they pop up the sooner they can start appearing at Ollie's

>>11566389
Isn't that a 'dream project'?

>>11566936
>loss
No figure is sold on a loss. Ever. A Blackbird is like like $1 of plastic at that size.

>>11566991
Ahem. Eternals. Ollie's Black Series for $5.

>>11567004
Those figures are subsidized by every Spider-Man and Wolverine release.

>>11567022

>Those figures are subsidized by every Spider-Man and Wolverine release.

>>11567049
Both are true.

Even if thise Ollie's shelfwarmers sold for 99 cents, it would still be profit. And those Spider-Man and Wolverine figures sell in such volume it pays for everything else in the line and makes them the most profit to boot.

>>11567054
>Even if thise Ollie's shelfwarmers sold for 99 cents, it would still be profit.
Not at all. Figures may be cheap to produce but they are not that cheap anymore.

No, I think it is not only that cheap, that companies bullshit as hard as possible about their costs.

>>11567103
In her first appearance, Jessica Drew had short brown hair. They later gave her a wig before artists decided to go "fuckboy" and give her natural black colored hair that was grown long.

>>11567162
Then you should stop buying them

How hot for Deathbird are ML fans?

>>11567292
First ML I'm buying in 6 years is Juggernaut and Shuma. Before that I'd bought about 2 of them.

>>11567294
I would have preferred the 70's version with the wings over this 90's one, but I really just ordered for Gladiator. I haven't PO'd a marvel legends all year outside Mephisto, but I missed the Apocalypse BAF version years ago and always regretted it.

>>11562259
>undid the only good thing Fox ever made with Logan
The entire opening sequence explicitly cements the fact that they did not undo it and just moved on to outsourcing their nostalgiabait to the multiverse.

>>11562259
While I agree anon, did you really think there is such a thing as a "final ending" in comic book movies? They're even talking about making a Dark Knight 4. Nothing ever ends, Adrian.

>>11567075
man I straight up do not understand the point of adding articulation but also sculpting the torso in a very specific twisted pose. If you put the figure in any pose other than the intended one it will look like shit. Just make a solid figure, it would look much nicer!

>>11567103
stranger things have happened

Does anybody here have any experience with stripping Marvel Legends figures? I use Simple Green on models but ML figures are made from much softer plastic so I'm not sure it'll work the same way. Anybody here ever stripped a ML and if so what did you use and how did it go?

Why didn't they sell out?

>>11567637
We've had a ton of Storm figures and two Mystiques, and neither are that enticing of an upgrade. Had either of them used a new body mold and head sculpt, I think we'd see a lot more demand.

>>11567637
What >>11567640 said. Personally, I already have versions of both characters I'm happy with so I don't need new ones.

You need a new Marvel's Gladiator.

>>11567640
That Storm headsculpt is old? Didn't realize. It's super sassy.

>>11567689
If it is new, the changes are negligible. I think it's just the face printing doing a lot of the work

>>11567637
If you want a classic storm you want either the white costume or the slutty black costume.

>>11567692
That isn't even close to the same figure as this.

>>11567726
Oh I wasn't really looking for a classic look, just whatever Storm looked coolest.

The head sculpt is the same though, which was the point he was making.

>>11567758
I think the difference in the paint is making it better looking then

>>11567773
Sure, whatever, point was, he was talking about the head,not the whole figure.

Dwight says you need your 36th Storm action figure.

Can we now get a decent John Byrne Ben Grimm after the 36th Storm? The Hasbro X-men bias is worse than Nintendo's Kirby bias.

>>11567747
Skipped this modern version and going to wait for the classic outback look. Hasbro has been setting up the sculpting for Psylock as well, and Colossus is just going to be the BAF AoA. Rogue also needs a classic headsculpt. I feel like Outback is going to end up as an Amazon 5 pack though.

>>11567858
Outback rogue was already made though. And she has a headsculpt

>>11567747
Oh yeah the "you" in my post was a general you, like, "if one wanted a classic Storm" not you as in you. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

I'm getting my X-<en 97 Wave in tomorrow along with some other MLs but I'm so depressed I don't even care. I have a backlog of MLs I've been getting in but haven't opened our of sheer lack of motivation to do anything. Feelsbad.jpg. Well, thanks for reading my blog.

Return them and buy some dumbbells. Take a break from collecting and focus on your body and mind. I recommend a treadmill asap too. Any downtime with negative thoughts or empty boredom hope on until you feel better.

>Return them and buy some dumbbells
I can't lift due to a pre-existing medical condition. I usually do go for longer several mile walks but it's been too hot over the summer, it's cooling down though so hopefully I can do that again soon. The toys have nothing to do with why I'm depressed, I'm just barely motivated to actually enjoy them or anything. Like I did absolutely nothing today, didn't even watch TV. Sorry for being such a Debbie downer. I did get Blob the other day for a reasonable price which was cool.

>>11568108
Get a treadmill. Unless you’re a cripple start doing calisthenics. You will feel better.

>>11568111
I was doing laps in my pool for a bit but my unmotivation got the best of me. Just feels, like 2025 keeps kicking me in the dick. First my dog passed away (she was 20 years old but even still I'm kinda fucked up from it), then I had to have surgery which I think permanently fucked up the sight even further in one of my eyes which has been frustrating, then I've just had family stuff and house stuff and I don't see my friends anymore I've seen them maybe once this entire year because they all have families and shit now so I can't resent them for it, but ugh it just sucks. Sorry for trauma dumping on a toy board like the raging faggot I am, it just feels like one thing after another, ya know?

To keep it toy related the tariffs and de minimis thing have also been bothering me, I can afford the price hikes and all, somit isn't a big deal, but it's just so frustrating to see what should be punishing these big corpos for shit, trickles down to the every day person. Once again, sorry for being s fag and dumping my sob story, I just don't really have anyone to talk to.

>>11568123
NTA, but sad to hear that, anon, hope you are able to start recovering. It's especially bad when you're isolated. People tend to be able to take isolation when things are going well but when negative stuff hits, it hits harder. Toys aren't necessarily a great hobby for that either since a lot of the fun is talking with other collectors irl and getting inspirations from their poses and displays and such. Talking about pick ups and such on the internet can feel more like just blogging while it tends to work better irl.

>To keep it toy related the tariffs and de minimis thing have also been bothering me, I can afford the price hikes and all, somit isn't a big deal, but it's just so frustrating to see what should be punishing these big corpos for shit, trickles down to the every day person.

Unfortunately the tariffs were never about punishing corporations. If they wanted to do that they would cap US' companies' foreign jobs with workforce audits, not flat tariff imported goods. A large amount of corporations are global and shift every job they can overseas, not just manufacturing. Best practice would probably be a slowly declining foreign labor cap that changes yearly, forcing them to slowly shift jobs back to the US (has to be slow to train US workers). Sure they would try to get around it with more usage of foreign third parties, but some stuff just can't be passed outside your organization.

And even that affects toys because a lot of toy companies, while the factories are third parties, still employ directly non-US employees for stuff like IT or billing. It would increase the toy company costs and would likely lead to some MSRP increases, but it would be entirely indirect and only affect domestic toy companies (Hasbro, NECA, McFarlane, Mattel, etc). Importers wouldn't need to navigate a crazy, uncertain tariff situation to get their toys/other goods.

Thanks anon. I appreciate it.

In other news Mafex is reissuing Cyclops and Magneto. Grab the superior import Cyclops now so you don't have to wait for the SHFlet.

>>11568206
I definitely agree with Mafex Cyclops looking better. The SHF is way too overengineered, as a lot of their stuff is now. It makes the figure look far more unnatural.

I completely forgot about pre-ordering this. Im not sure if I want to open it because the box actuslly looks pretty cool.

I wish they did more figures that look like regular people

Can anyone identify this figure?
Google sure as hell can't, the head looks kitbashed but the body clearly is based off Spider-Man 3's Venom

>>11568503
It looks like the the legs and torso are definitely from this Spider-Man 3 Venom. Strangely, the arms don't look quite right, but this isn't a great photo.

Thoughts on this guy? Any QC issues?

>>11568549
Decent figure, the head's a bit oversized but they got the proportions, likeness and size as a whole mostly right. Arm articulation is somewhat limited due to the chestpiece.
You have to look out for scratches on the silver, happens often, so best order from somewhere with a return policy. Def one of the better Hasbro ML out there.

>>11568549
Honestly, might me my ML of the year. He's fucking great. Nailed the proportions, paint is nice, articulation is great, and plenty of accessories. Highlight of the wave for me, and I thought that entire wave was pretty stellar.

Isn't that Venom a 3.75 inch one
