Part of me is glad we're not getting any news regarding MCU figures, but I need my fix Hasbro. Gimme something!

Can you imagine? Them coming with the Lego Death Star?

THIS LOOKS GREAT!!!! Oh man!!! I’m hyped. I haven’t been this hyped in a long time and I know next to nothing about MK.

I love civilian characters, I hope that Ned is truly happening and is followed by May soon.

Matter of perspective I suppose. Doing a quick comparison on what Stormbreaker looks like on the Hot Toys and the 1:12 ML, I think both are properly scaled. I hope you get your wish granted, tho, I’ll probably skip any further Thors since I already have my favorite from Endgame 🙂

What are you talking about? All 3 Stormbreakers so far are properly sized for a 1:12 fantasy figure, and the last 2 are screen accurate. Any bigger is cartoonier. Have you ever seen a battle axe or hammer? They’re not nearly as big as this, those things are heavy. This kind of weapon is not designed to be historically accurate in any way, I know, but as it currently is, it’s already cool on the shelf

Is this movie a joke now? Are people going on opening day fools, then?

On are normal day, I'd eat this wave up completely. Rintrah looks cool even if I don't know the character, so I'd like to build him. I'm not buying comic figures anymore, and I'm trying to stop buying duplicates of the same character... so it's only Wong for sure. Dr Strange and Mordo are looking incredible so if my budget allows it, I'll get them. I know nothing of America Chavez other than the Rising series (and even there, I didn't really get her deal), and astral Strange is looking better than the pearled version, but still, not a priority.

The only one’s I’d pass up are Garfield and Lizard, those 2 I already have. If Garfield came with alt maskless head I’d be all in. But LIzard is a really long shot. I can’t see me buying it again.

way to make me double guess picking up NWH Dr Strange… I preordered it from a small retailer so I may loose a bit from the down payment… but this one looks so much better, the whole wave minus the comic figures. The Target exclusive effect looks awesome, but that look is not my favorite and it’s not enough for me to try to get it… plus the price is ridiculously high and without enough accessories to justify the “deluxe”. Don’t they know from SW that it doesn’t work that way?

He could’ve been. I mean, there was a whole issue with this 3rd movie even being made remember? Plus making this a Sinister Six movie could’ve set-up the death of Spider-Man quite cleanly like the Ultimate universe. Additionally, with the nigh confirmation of other Spider-Men in the movie, there was a possibility. Announcements like these do nothing for the film but lower the stakes in the fight scenes of the character mentioned.

Way to lower the risk for the movie. I felt like it could’ve been Holland’s last turn as Spidey if they wanted, so with everything happening in the movies, it felt like the risks were real and he may be killed. But oh well, my excitement for this movie is spiraling down since I can’t seem to find tickets safely anyway.

Hard to pick when most of the things have yet to fall onto my door. But did my best and tried not to be biased by what I actually bought. BAF was easily Ursa, even if I didn’t get him.

Unless he’s done like the more recent animals that are bigger than a cat. Articulated 🙂

I hope that the 2 pack is with Lucky instead of 2 Hawkeyes! But cool anyway!!

He can play whoever he wants in the MCU, I’m in. He has great acting skills and is fun to look at for everyone.

Hope Pizza Dog’s presence in the poster means we’ll get a figure of him. I need more animals on my shelf, and having a Golden Retriever would make me so happy. My friends say I am one… so, it would be nice to have some version of me in figure form 😛

AWWWWW YISSSSS!!!! I want those rangers too!!! I{m settling for the ninjas for now, but those suits would be IT!!!!

With so little MCU coming out, I feel like my wallet can take a break/check other lines in the meantime. But I do hope we get some sort of tease of what’s coming!

The more I look at this (and that Sunfire) the more I want to buy them and break my “MCU only” vow.

See? They’re not ALL statues… just a few of them… and I think that’s not terrible. I’m glad I preordered this wave, and I’m just waiting to be able to get Ajak and Thena!

Passing on the Vulture, but I hope I can get my hands on a Thena.

I wanted to be more excited about the Quicksilver in the wave since he’s my most wanted character that I was missing… but this figure is just too good. It’s the one I can’t wait to get.

And you make my point as well: the fact that until I was in my 20’s to buy my own figures means that from 0 to 20 people bought me toys. A parent won’t buy a 25 dollar for a 5 year old, but how about a 12 year old? For a birthday, or a holiday. And what about friends or family? A kid could end up with a cool collection if they wanted it. The fact that kids don’t buy as much as we do, does not mean they don’t buy at all. And your point that “most teens are more into video games than action figures” is ridiculous, most adults aren’t into games and action figures, does that mean we don’t matter to the business either? Anyway, wave sounds cool, hope Havok is in starjammers costume, it’s one of the remaining comic figures I’d buy.

Man, how old are you? I know I was already in my 20’s when I started buying my own figures… all the ones I had before were bought as gifts, or just because I was the first child in a small family with uncles without children. I know I lived a financially privileged childhood and that my experience is in the minority, but I know for fact that parents do indulge in kid’s wants every now and then. And it’s true too, kids always want stuff, they may not always get it, but want is something they do. I have two cousins under the age of 10. One plays video games and the other loves toys. By my statistics, that’s 50/50. Is that accurate? No, but it’s as accurate as your statement and disdain for younger generations.
