We should have gotten the bully Maguire disco hands in addition to the extra hands.

This week's custom is a 6" Clint Barton By IronWill72 "So this is my second Barton back to back and again based on the Fraction title. I wanted a true t-shirt look. Legion is the base body and I cut and added sleeves from a Joker Killing Joke figure and glued and trimmed them to the Legion torso. Was super happy with the results. Head / Lower Legs - ML Captain America Glasses - GI Joe Baroness Body - ML Legion Also added a slingshot to his belt lol."

I really like Namor too. The rest of the movie is OK, but seeing him flying, with his ankle wings, and just destroying stuff made me giddy like a child! My only issue was him surrendering. That is the one thing Namor would never do. Things like this are non negotiable imo and Marvel should at least make a bigger deal about the details that define the character. I can deal with all the swaps and changes as long as those few ingredients that are throughlines of a character throughout their existence are retained. It didn't ruin it for me, but it irks me everytime I see it. I think Aaron commented on that in this recent 8 issue Namor series. His Mother admonishes him while training that he will never surrender no matter the consequence. So him surrendering and Shuri just sliding off a spear and fighting like nothing happened both took me out of it, but the movie was better than not overall.

Really want the updated Madam Masque. I'll probably like the Crossbones a ton in hand, but not super excited. I'm pretty happy with the T bolts one with the ginormous gattling gun. I would wait for a sale on this, but Crossbones always seems to sell really well, so not 100% sure it'll go down. But that being said, all these Amazon exclusive eventually seem to go on sale though. I feel like every single one has gotten at least an 8 dollar off price for at least a short window. I think I'm talking myself out of pre-ordering in real time here, hahahaha!

Also as much as the MCU has had a very rocky last few years, the prospect of toys for the next two Avengers films was probably too big to pass on given that’s probably the closest guaranteed moneymaker Marvel has put out since Deadpool & Wolverine.

Firstly as fan I'm happy to see Hasbro keeping the license. The day it changes and I have to start new again is the day I finally bow out. But honestly regarding the Marvel license I think Hasbro is in the midst of a massive identity crisis. They want the Marvel brand and the Marvel brand needs them because they are at the top of the game. But IMO I think in the last few years where the MCU and Disney+ product was sparse and they found themselves leaning more on comic based product they came to the realization that the comic product drummed up lot more excitement than the same old MCU characters over and over again and others with drab boring designs like Eternals and Shang Chi. Of course the movies bring in the interest from the general public but variety and cool design of comic figures push sales. Let's just pick on the Shang Chi wave as an example. I mean really did we actually need a Xialing figure? Or an AI Tony Stark for that matter? Or would those spots have better served as classic comic characters with colorful, cool, eye catching designs? The entire wave seemed like a reach when they had more than enough inspiration to draw from. Who thought a bunch of boring plain looking people in robes that was the Eternals wave was a good idea? In this way Marvel is kind of falling in the Star Wars rutt. They are obligated to do movie figures of course but the designs and look are just so bland there are a limited amount of characters that would really qualify as viable desired figures. Honestly I think the only character that needed to have a figure in the Shang Chi set was Shang Chi and Wenwu. And even then Wenwu was pushing the boundary. Death Dealer was okay but it was just more or less a kit bash where the overlay destroyed 90 percent of the articulation. As far as design and cool factor wouldn't a Razorfist have been a better choice? Comic or movie. Did no one in the braintrust know enough of the source material to know that Colleen Wing could have been used for the female representation of the wave? I think things like this have stunted Hasbro's faith in the movie/TV based figures. So much so they completely dropped the ball on capitalizing on the biggest MCU cash cow in years that was Wolverine & Deadpool. Only 3 figures of 2 characters out of a stacked and packed roster that everyone wants a piece of. It's such a shame. Of course they're doing a Blade figure so maybe they'll eventually get around to doing the rest of the crew and drag it out over the next couple of years like the did with NWH. I think what Hasbro wants to do with license and what Disney expects them to do with it are two different sides of the coin. There is just so much potential and so many different paths they could take but I believe are hamstringed by certain stipulations in the contract that Hasbro finds themselves having to honor before doing anything different.

Maybe I'm growing to be a grumpy old man, but there was a time when I would jump at any Spider-related character. Now, I find myself much more selective, although, I'm sure my limited shelf space has a lot to do with it too.

Probably based it off the one cover like they do with other characters

Yeah I just think it's just another symptom of Hasbro not being familiar with the characters they're producing. I guess Google images didn't properly illustrate that he doesn't use web shooters anymore.

This might be a hot take here, but I thought Namor was by far the best part of the Black Panther movie, which I unexpectantly enjoyed except for the poor CGI ie riri's suit and anticlimactic fight scene that was not btw Shuri and Namor (their plot was cool its the others I think just sucked). Though I was big on the proponent of Namor being and looking as superhero should, and instead he looked like a guy who is in shape (had to google cuz I could not remember if he was soft looking and honestly he doesn't look bad but his legs are a little thin and not nearly broad enough) just not hero shape they could have done a far better job on the physical athestics of his persona but other than that glaring issue I genieuly think they improved on Namors character and background. I have never seen Huerta in any other media, so this was more initial reaction to his acting, and IMO he carried the movie due in part to bringing and delivering a different feel to the character that I thought was an interesting spin.

Really happy with this figure. Though the Jonah mask while nice, doesn't suit this figure

Giving him thwiping hands was stupid, as was not giving him wide open hands

While, I'm glad I don't ahve to start over. I really hope that Hasbro won't use this as an excuse for the recent complacency

Yeah, it makes sense to me. Now, about Namor I'm wondering whether or not they could retcon him in the future. To be more like his comic counterpart and to avoid any possible backlash, I do think he was still decent for how much they changed him, but you know just wondering. Or hoping I guess...

So funny and great pic in the same time

So glad we got this one. I've been asking for a Chameleon for the longest and now that I have him, I am not disappointed. Now that we've also got Adam Warlock, give us a classic Beta Rey Bill, please!

If I'm being the honest, it's probably the same for me.

Locked in my pre-order. Let's hope the tariffs don't hit this one too hard!

I do have to wonder if the current trade situation might have changed the calculus on all this. Like maybe Hasbro and/or Disney were considering parting ways, but tariff concerns might have caused other bidders to drop out (because it currently would be very expensive for them to spin up new lines). Probably reading too much into it though. It's likely as simple as "Both companies have had a bumpy road the last few years, but this partnership isn't broken so don't try fixing it until it is." In the case of Marvel in particular, shifting licensees now would likely mean that there wouldn't be (toy) merch on shelves for at least a couple films, as there's usually a "gap" between one license ending and the new one beginning, and I could see Disney not wanting that to happen.

People I'm going to have to remind you that this is a Marvel forum so kept the subject about Marvel please.

Dude we are almost on the same wavelength my guy. One thing though I really don't think the Prequels were that bad under Lucas. Sure JarJar was murder but the story behind Padme and all the cool Jedi and Sith lore was not that bad. And you have to admit the fight between Obi Wan and Anakin was pretty good. And the massive battle at the end if Clone Wars was exciting. Not on par with the originals but in retrospect not all that bad. Then The Force Awakens came out and even though it was a off the pace the Falcon was cool and the new characters had some promise. Then Rogue One came out and the future was looking pretty good. Then The Last Jedi came out and it was a straight nosedive from there. In the midst Disney+ started with mixed results. Mando started great but I don't care what anyone says as soon as he unmasked himself it was over. Then a bunch of other garbage came out and by the time Andor came out the franchise had left such a bad taste that no one tuned in. It's a darn shame it doesn't get more credit for as good as it is. All that to say there is a lot more bad than good and overall character design is beyond boring and within those factors the toy product suffers greatly without a doubt. Again that being said I can't imagine the property being in anyone else's hands but Hasbro at this point. They are the most capable company but they need to reel it in and get back to doing cool stuff that sells. Unfortunately they are handcuffed by the characters Disney creates which are unfortunately just bland and boring and uninspred. It would not have surprised me in the least if Hasbro allowed someone else to take the license but in all honesty I really don't think other companies are very interested based on the current source material they have to work with and Disney's oversight on the product they are expected to push. It is just so blaaaaaah.

I can't help but think about all the haters that said they were going to lose the license. The same people that are supposed to be in the know. Looking at you Bobby Vala! They were more or less wishing it would happen. Just goes to show these people are out of touch or just want to make click bait videos for views.

That retro Iron Man wave Shulkie is one of my all-time favourite figures. I just adore that thing.--absolutely gorgeous figure.
