I'm not calling out anyone by name here, because this applies to everyone. That + button next to the Quote button is the multiquote function. Anyone responding to multiple posts within the span of a few minutes should use it instead of stacking posts.

You'd think so. It's so close to looking right out of the movie, but the lack of buttons on the shirt bugs the hell out of me. Combine that with the inflated price, and the plastic-free packaging, and I passed on it, ending my Into the Spider-Verse collection with only three (technically four) figures. I've been keeping the others MOC, and I'm not about to open them all to display with an inaccurate and overpriced figure, no matter how good it mostly looks.

@JayC I assume the big white box here is supposed to be the tik-tok video from the main news page. It doesn't seem to be working.

I cancelled mine. I'd been collecting the Into the Spiderverse figures to keep MOC, so the plastic-free packaging meant that Noir wouldn't match the others. Couple that with the lack of buttons on the shirt, and cancelling was an easy decision. I do hope that you get yours soon, and that you're very happy with it, tho.

Congratulations, Biggbubb.

Their Into the Spider-Verse figures have looked really good until now. I wonder why they suddenly dropped the ball with Gwen. Portrait really doesn't look anything like her from the movie.

I don't think the CGI would ever look better as long as it's on Disney +. Apparently it takes movie money to make a hulk look good, so until Jen shows up in a movie, this may be the best it can get.

Iron Loki. Ha ha.

I assume it will be more detailed than any Batmobile Todd has made, and I doubt it'll cost that much. I could also see them doing a set with not just the Hell Charger, but also Johnny's bike, Danny's bike, and yes, maybe even a horse. Riders as add-ons, probably, although that would suck, but we'll see.

Can you? They're usually diecast, but I've never seen a 1/12 scale Charger going for less than four or five hundred bucks. There's plenty of chargers in 1/18 and 1/24 for significantly less, but 1/12 is much rarer and much larger. The Hell Charger would actually even need to be a little bigger than 1/12 to fit a Legends figure.

Kathryn Newton is five years older than Emma Fuhrmann, so maybe. Of course, twenty-five-year-olds play teenagers all the time, too.

The PET recycled plastic is the same plastic they've been using in their packaging for years. So this has always been a stunt because some bean counter figured they could save more money and some marketing guy figured out a way they could look good (to some) doing it. Don't knock that plastic bubble inside. It's not wasteful. A lot of people are going to miss the protection it affords, cushioning the figure from shock to the very back of the package. I don't think I've said this here yet, but I predict quite a few figures in the new plastic free packaging are going to break from poor handling at retailers like Walmart and Amazon now that they're going to be braced right against that back wall of cardboard. Also, since they're already starting to make exceptions for the whole plastic free packaging thing, I'm guessing the whole experiment won't last very long, and that they'll change it back by 2024 or 2025 at the latest.

It's always Morbin' Time somewhere.

Whack-a-Bruce?

Keep discussions on these boards civil--disagreements, too. @ChaosKitten, this isn't the place for antagonizing others, whether they're wrong, whether you think they're wrong, or for any other reason.

I think it's more likely that their licensing deal with Fox ended, while they kept their agreement with Disney. After the merger they surely renegotiated with Disney to start doing Fox properties again, and it may not have been finalized until recently.

That makes sense. I don't believe The Upper World has started filming yet, and Nope wrapped filming last Winter, and Wakanda Forever wrapped this past Spring.

He's got a sci-fi movie lined up called The Upper World.

While there are a ton of figures I'd still like to see, I have no predictions, aside from I think they'll likely reveal this year's Marvel Haslab or at least tease it.

@Outsiders I recommend giving it a watch. It really is quite good.

To steer things back on topic a little, is anyone here planning on getting a Hot Wheels Ghost Rider?

It's real, and it's not a cart-shaped car or anything. There's no engine in this thing.

I wasn't the one who seemed to be implying that Hot Wheels had to be cars. I simply pointed out that motorcycles have wheels. I'm not saying Hot Wheels have to have wheels, although an argument could be made that a helicopter rotor is just a wheel with airfoils on it.

Motorcycles have wheels.

Nope. Ginger Gonzaga is an actress. I fixed it here, but only @Outsiders can fix it on the main page. I'll PM him and let him know about the error.
