SUPREME007

Hey, I wasn't tryna force a rant out of you haha, no I was just quoting the previous comment about "always available" but what I meant was like its available through multiple vendors all-yearish in batches so it is easier to obtain, not as in readily available on the whim, sorry about the confusion should have reiterated myself there (& of course idk the Hasbro logistics). But that was kinda the rhetoric Dan Yun was saying, that the Hasbro/ML team wants this to be more available than the highly sought-after figures in the past or so he claimed. Maybe I am misremembering what he said in the stream with unparrelled I cant say for certain, also that goes the same for what I read from JayC.

I completely agree that it's by far their best spidey to date (IMO it's not even close), but it is overpriced (should have had sculpted web lines, and ball jointed waist). But regardless of the figure itself, I am pretty confident JayC said that Hasbro purposed this line to be "always available" so that the main A list characters are always available so new collectors can have comfortable jumping on points and I want to say I heard the same rhetoric from Dan Yun on Unparrelled's live stream. And to be completely transparent I think there is a fat 0% chance this figure ends at liquidation stores, for ones it spidey, 2 Even with Hasbro's marketing manipulation tactics to convert on more units I genuinely think this still outsold just about any of their last year deluxe cuz its a "all-new" spidey despite there mass controversy. Now I can see a sale to about $40 but in no way will this drop any further. People forget that rnv spidey was going for 50 on the regular.

Yep I do that same now that's why I generally stay away from preorders for figures that I am not 100% in need (well want), and now I don't shy away from canceling preorders immediately after seeing early reviews. For ex. the agent venom figure which I was hyped about, was lackluster from mid-articulation to the small stature. Just disappointing. I am no longer in the business of buying ok even for characters I adore, I have waited decades for some characters I can wait longer for a proper version (until shi-t hits the fan).

These are excellent points I have heard on streams with the ML team that Hasbro has been lowering production runs due to gross overproduction of figures over the last few years with warehouses full of them. So that is plausible. I was juggling btw the opinions of false scarcity or their team reporting smaller count production and I almost want to give Hasbro the benefit of the doubt but they just charged 50 for this Spiderman so... Regardless both can be true and Hasbro as I think JayC reported somewhere here that there looking to keep this thing available all year, probably each being small runs.

Immortal Hulk is my favorite top 3 Hulk comic run ever produced that why I am so hoping that the ML team would allocate at least 1 proper Alex Ross-inspired immortal hulk just like the covers!

Ngl I was being pessimistic praying hasbro somehow sees are comments and puts it at that price haha. But I agree I think it's actually 69.99-74.99 which does in fact suck, but if it's is rivals as the ML team said themselves is suppose to...we will see. And yes it's needs the three different eras artist specific with differing emotions that would be fantastic!

IMO Hulk would be my first choice for this line after Spiderman because Hulk is nearly an open market as there is no definitive Hulk from any company. And I am willing to cough it up (to a certain extent, maybe AT BEST 59.99-65.99 if it's phenomenal and I mean phenomenal), and if they do Hulk well with modern articulation points that can rival import companies as they claim, I would be throwing in my vote for a The Thing from John bryne as drawn by Ron Wilson. Now that would make a grown man cry.

I was thinking the exact opposite I hope its least 2 different eras look for Hulk if not 3, like artist-specific portraits. I'm very much hoping for an immortal hulk head.

I hope that is not the case, would be some absolute bs I was hoping he is on the larger side as he should be. I do not have time for that bait-and-switch bs that companies do.

Man, I can eat a 65ish price tag for what should be the best 1/12 Hulk to ever be produced. But more than that just would suck. And to me personally no Hulk figure on the market has scratched the Hulk itch for me, diamond looks great but is damn near a statue and ML are just ok same with imports. I genuinely believe the Hasbro ML team will kill this new hulk but that price might be scary especially hearing that he comes with a thunderclap effect!?!? Excited but trying to reserve myself.

Man 70 to 80 bucks for a ML is just nuts and for a regular sized one at that!??! Damn that's just wow.

I hope this doesn't blow like their last one. This is their chance to rectify their last offering, and I have some faith. It would also be nice if it could do the thunder clap but we will see.

This is the worst part. The opportunity was right there and they just sucked. But they keep doing this, that miles was all new as they said, and the hips? wth is that? Some of their decision-making is just so aggravating and its remarkable how backward some of there choices are.

This was very aggravating, one of my favorite characters and have been waiting years for a proper classic Luke Cage and Hasbro makes an all-new mold, and its sucks? Like the articulation is outdated, the size is too small,and the pits? Like wth.

If they do continue this into the MCU, there is almost none that I would purchase. I would buy a Captain America, maybe even a Black Panther (or a Thanos cause their other attempts sucked), but that would be it. Idk why I would not buy more characters if they were to release them in the maximum format maybe it's because they do a decent job at the more popular characters.

The majority of those would be instant purchases for me (including villains Juggernaut, Thanos, carnage, magneto etc), but I will say there are many more characters I would cough it up for the right style and articulation. Examples are Deathlock, and Black Panther (cuz u didn't put it there so I had to!), but actual non-a/b tier guys like Sleepwalker, Wonderman, Darkhawk, Beta Ray Bill, Modern Drax, Machine Man or even characters nobody cares or knows about like Digtek, Charlier 44, Tyrant, Ghostlight, Anti man, Arabian Knight, Abomb, Penace, and so many others that I would be willing to spend the dime on for THE ULTIMATE version of whatever that figure can be, as in end all be all it could not get better (w/in reasonable limits). But what's ironic is here I am just preordering ROM and I am confident a ROM figure could not get to the point where it would be $25 more valuable than what Hasbro had just done. But again Hasbro rarely makes that figure that might just be damn perfect.

Instant pre-order for half the wave, I might MIGHT go back and pre-order warlock but I am a hater on the Vulcan body or really any use of outdated articulation, but his headscuplt and accessories just look great. And weirdly enough I kinda like the mini comics but only for ROM and warlock the rest I would have preferred even an extra hand over it. And ofcourse a baf piece would have been preferred but we have been heading in this direction fir years them making bafs near obsolete and replacing them with "deluxe", which I am not entirely mad with as I never purchase a whole wave and at times pass on the entire wave. But man there so many bigger characters to be desired thay would not sell well as an individual deluxe that would fit right into these types of waves and because of that they may never do those characters which blows.

I saw it man it looks phenomenal. But my problem just like any other nice diorama set is the price. Whether it's Neca, Ramen, etc., the diorama price is ridiculous. I am not saying the value isn't there but man dropping a couple hundred dollars on it I ask myself "More figs or a diorama?", maybe one day I will get into the dioroma game but that day is not today.

Idk I think that he is just a resuse of the Vulcan body with some slight "new tooling" and this is exactly why I passed on Kaine which I wanted pretty badly but that Vulcan body is too small, now if this used the Punisher body I would have been all over this buts it is not. And I gotta say this whole wave just is underwhelming even the agent venom which looks decent only has ok articulation (no boot cut or a crutch at the waist like they can at least do?) and its undersized, like that whole wave could have been great buts IMO its been just a bunch of poor executions.

Congrats nems! Good luck to yall this month, I know we all could use it w/ all these damn good releases coming up.

Kinda crazy that this 2 pack went as far down as $30 retail at some point. And honestly, that destroyer figure is fantastic.

I absolutely agree here. At the end of the day this is a marvel legends figure that they usually charge msrp for at 24.99. So I can't understand how this could be more than 39-45? Like I understand that this is damn near import lvl, which Is very impressive I also understand the new buck point but so is ROM and he is 24.99. And I would still purchase this with no hesitation cuz I am a sucker at 49.99. And I do expect hasbro to keep this in the 40s.

I honestly have no clue if anybody mentioned this yet, but I think those weights they teased at the end are for that strong guy's re-release that is supposed to be coming out.

I am absolutely flabbergasted by Hasbro today. They actually delivered here I mean wow. That spiderman, the miles, ROM, Jean, Electro from NWH all just stunning.

Whether they show us the Ultimate line tomorrow or not, I just hope that they are updating the articulation scheme to the MAX! And please a hulk akin to their 12 inch line from some years back w/ butterfly that can do a thunderclap w/ an immortal hulk headsculpt specific to the alex ross looking cover and my perfect hulk is complete! OK ik that's specific but as long as we have some serious articulation updates with baddass effects I'm happy with it. Please Hasbro don't let us down🙏🏽.
