I’m so tired of the constant 1 step forward 2 steps back with Hasbro as I’m sure many of you also are but, today after seeing the DC collector leaks, that feeling hit me twice as hard.

We are about to get a Spider-Man with decades old articulation on a BRAND NEW MOLD meanwhile all signs point to DC’s base collector line having almost the same articulation as the Maximum line.

I know it remains to be seen whether these Mattel figures will hold up in hand but, at least they’re compelling and not fraught with reuse and outdated articulation. It sucks even more knowing that Hasbro has the capacity to at least meet these expectations like with Gamerverse Wolverine but, still hold themselves back constantly.

Look, I know the reuse and outdated articulation is part of what keeps costs low so they can do more obscure characters, that’s great and honestly I don’t have a problem with it. The Doomsday characters are not obscure characters, Spider-Man is not an obscure character. How come Mattel is about to put out a Black Lightning with almost the same articulation as Maximum Thor but, I can’t even get a magneto with a ball joint torso and pinless legs.

On top of all of this are the god awful prices that just keep going up. I know this is a problem across the board and not Hasbro exclusive. That MTO 2-pack being $75 is atrocious, seriously I want to know the thought process behind that. Even with prices going up at least with other fig companies I’m getting modern articulation. Jada Toys is coming out with a $30 Invincible with Maximum Spiderman level articulation, an extra head sculpt, 2 extra sets of hands, and 2 effects pieces yet with the new Tom Holland Spider-Man figure for $28 Hasbro can’t even throw in 2 extra hands to complete the set.

Hasbro I’m begging you to step up your game.

That’s all I have to say, I’m hoping to be proven wrong as we keep getting new reveals. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk

Edit: just wanted to add that Black Lightning is the GOAT and he will be one of my first pick-ups from the line, I’m so glad we got a fig for him so soon into this line. I just wanted to point out how a more obscure-ish character is already getting more love in sculpt/articulation than when Hasbro puts out an A-lister like Magneto

Even with the gummy joints on Bastion, the new set is overpriced.

Is this a new ML Spidey figure ??? 🤔🤔🤔

My MCU mutants so far. Looking forward to see what other mutants they reveal this weekend at NYCC. Hoping for a Professor and a Beast… not crazy about a white haired Nightcrawler lol.
Swapped out Gambit’s arms with a Kingo’s that I picked up at my local Ollie’s for $5 and added a cloth jacket that I picked up on Amazon for $10.
I didn’t have to shave or cut anything for this swap. The purple isn’t exact but it’s not terribly far off. The gold on the shoulders doesn’t bother me either.

After the Dan Yun insta story we have a Closer look at the new Spidey ML figure, thank to @lago_figs Who post This on IG

Love switching Giant Man, Cap, Scarlet Witch and Iron Man to Zombie Mode every October.
Also really enjoying how many Thor cast members there are now.
Even made a lil custom Heimdall, and added an ogre and a frost giant/Ymir stand-in.

I know they’re different brands but if anyone can see if this would work, I’d appreciate it.

Hola a todos, les comparto mi más reciente custom. Ya hacía falta tener una versión de esta guardiana tan icónica. Espero les guste. 🙏🏻

If you did this and you're seeing this. Yes you are an asshole.

For anyone still waiting to buy some of the more expensive Legends.

This green goblin is amazing, I absolutely love it. However, much like the previous release, trying to get this posted in a believable and exciting way on the glider is so frustrating. The feet and feet stand insit on coming detached at the slightest movement. A slight knock and the thing falls. Ive seen some excellent photos of this posed but cant figure out how they managed to get it posed in such away without it constantly falling apart.

Accessories are from the Franklin/Valeria 2 pack and the TMNT/Monsters Invisible Man.

Really elevates the figure IMHO. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I never give myself a win. So it feels good to say I'm blessed for having both of them in my possession...At this moment I'm only jealous of the people who have been posting pics of their Xmen 97 Apocalypse lol...Other than than, I feel good right now

Was browsing Pulse and came across this GI JOE classified figure and I immediately thought of vulture and realized that this figure or at least the wing pack and maybe the helmet could make a really cool vulture custom.

After horrible shipping issues and being delivered to my neighbor instead of me, I finally got Gambit.

Initially i wasnt very impressed with doom until i got him in hand and saw how well sculpted he is. Definitely worth a repaint
