Nice work, Gigantor. I really dig the color green on this guy. I see you painted your Iron Man's details too. Very nice.

So look for another Infinity Saga reveal with Iron Man Mrk III coming up later today. Assuming images dont leak out early again expect the reveal at 1pm ET.

Bought that Hulk on sale too. Not sure how much, but it was on the cheap. The body mold is great and I think it's actually well suited for comic and MCU figures. I wish they would use it more oftern. Another buck that's very good and I thought would have been converted for bigger figure use was the Ragnarok Hulk figure. Of course, they would have had to retool the feet and one of the arms, but otherwise the sculpt and size was spot on for Hulk sized characters. It woulda certainly been perfect for Skaar, if it ever gets done.

I have no problem waiting 45 days to see this. I plan on watching Black Widow at home and have no problem paying $30 to watch it because that is still cheaper and easier than the cost of 2 people with snacks going to see it in the movie theater, at least in my area. I don't count the cost of subscribing to Disney+ in that, just the extra $30 for the premium access. I would subscribe to Disney+ for Disney+ shows whether I was able to watch movies like Black Widow the same day its released in theaters or not. The price of 2 adult movie tickets in the evening plus popcorn, candy and drink for 2 p

I mean, normally a movie earns like 95% of its revenue in the first 45 days. But that occurs when people know it will probably be months before they can see it on demand. I wonder how many people will choose to wait it out since a month and a half is not that long. and of course the other question is how much will it cost to see as VOD - will it be the normal $5.99 or so, or will it be a higher price point

They did that in the UK and Ireland (maybe the rest of Europe) a while back, with some bare bones MCU Marvel legends. Basically re-issues with no BAF pieces and fewer accessories (or in some cases the exact same), but they were roughly €10 cheaper than the standard figure.

45 days between releases makes sense, does anyone actually watch a movie in the cinema over a month after it was released?

You're right about Serpent Society not being great for Target/Walmart. The AoA wave didn't fly off the shelves around here. They would need to be a fan channel offering. I thought about the box set too, but I wonder if some people might prefer to spend $20 a pop and spread it out instead of $100+ at one time. If the point is that Hasbro needs Cap and IM and Wolverine and Spider-Man in the waves to sell anything, why not just have have waves that are designed for Target/Walmart that are mostly the big name characters or movie characters (if they can ever sync up the release schedule

Maybe by some miracle Johnny will have shoulders from shang chi instead of these depressingly low and small shoulders sunfire/sm2099 mold is cursed with.

I think you're misconstruing my message (which is not uncommon for you). I'm not saying Peréz or Byrne are "Eeehhh." I'm actually a fan of Peréz work, especially his Avengers run with Kurt Busiek. I'm saying that I don't find them comparable to the particular flare of the pages I posted above by R.B.Silva. However, I'm glad to hear that only now I've lost by credibility. You'd lost yours in... too far ago to remember.

Thanks guys. Hasbro has the parts to do this slimmer Hulk in a retro wave along with an alternate mean closed mouth head sculpt or fully open yelling mouth version.

Perez & Byrne =Eeehhh"? Yeah, you just lost all credibility as a judge of comic art. "Gramps"? Kirby/Sinnot were before my time. I'm of the 80s Perez/ Byrne/ Layton/ Lim era.

Thanks. Can't beat 6 3D 16'' scale Sentinels for the price of 1 Sentinel from BBTS or 2 Sentinels via Hasbro Pulse.

So weird to see folks predicting the death of the movie theater. No one knows what things will go back to, but look at it this way - Sports have always been available to watch for free on TV, but people have still paid exorbitant prices to see it live, because they love it. People have been watching films happily at home because that is the only option they have, but it isn't just watching the film, it is the shared experience of laughing, crying, screaming, and cheering with others. It is the popcorn and candy, and drinks. And, the model isn't designed to be profitable releasing films via str

even the last endgame iron man had a really odd neck peg, though i guess it makes sense here, the neck option is a nice touch

FYI, reports are starting to come in that Target's out west are getting the Disney+ wave already.

I'd certainly love to see some Inhumans figures. I already have like 3 or 4 different Black Bolts, so I'm set there. I have a Medusa that I'm happy with. I bought the Mezco Lockjaw which is amazing. So I don't necessarily need those 3 again but I'd love to see Karnak and Triton in particular.... they seem well overdue. Crystal, Gorgon and Maximus are lesser wants, but I'd still like to get them. I've got an old 6" Frankie Raye Supernova from an old pre-Legends 6" Silver Surfer with minimal articulation that is fine but still I'd love to get a Legends version. They did a pretty goo

Awesome! It be cool if you made a Bruce Banner to go with it!

Those Sentinels look badass everytime I see them.

I hope you're right. Fingers crossed 🤞

This actually looks really good I never knew I wanted a hulk like this, but now I do, excellent work man.

I get that, and I wouldn't bank an entire wave on it. On the other hand, if the characters are interspersed across other waves, I don't think Hasbro releasing a Karnak figure is any more or less "risky" than Machine Man.

maybe not and given the design of the show, most people wouldnt associate the two. However, it's all about marketing. While we all would snap up anything F4 comic related (within reason of course), Hasbro has to balance things out for old/new collectors and those getting into the line after watching show or movies. Like I always say when we see the first wave of a new franchise (ie. GOTG, Ant-man, Shang-Chi, Eternal), hasbro has always played it safe in case the movie fails. I know the chances are low, given that even thor dark world and iron man 3 made over a couple of millions, but if s

Yeah, I can't say that I would ever feel the need to ever step in a movie theater again if this became the norm....and that's coming from a guy that has seen every Marvel/DC movie on opening weekend (except New Mutants) going all the way back to the 90's with the fist Michael Keaton Batman movie and the Blade and X-Men movies... long before the MCU ever existed... I'd MUCH rather wait the 45 days and watch at home.
