I just meant it's possible. If Hasbro sees Mattel doing it, there's a chance they can follow suit. There's been a number of times Hasbro has released things that surprised even the fans. I was legitimately surprised that Coulson got a release at all, three-pack or not.
got a question for you customizers out there, These figures like the Thanos Wave MCU Hulk, who has the "Y" Legs (I think that's what ya'll call it, I'm still a noob) Has anyone attempt to mod the legs to be "T" legs? Is it hard to do? It doesn't seem to look that difficult, just "find" a way to pop the guy a part and move the pegs down.. Glue back together... right? I absolutely hate the "Y" legs esp on this Hulk.... I might end up tearing apart a different figure to find out but figured I'd ask first.
I still want a Firestar but I don't expect to see it until I give up and sell my ToyBiz Iceman and Spiderman.
You're talking about how the balljoints are set at a 45 degree angle, yes? The reason for that style hip design is that it results in a narrower crotch. Because you need room for both hip disks and the structural walls of the pelvis piece between the legs. And for a larger figure like Hulk, those hip disks need to be fairly large to be strong and sturdy. By moving the insertion angle up 45 degrees, the hip disks can be housed up nearer the waist instead, where there's plenty more room for them to go. In short, you could crack the toy open and see what's going on in there, and maybe it could be done. But I very much doubt that there's enough room in there.
You'd think a firestar wouldn't be too much of a stretch considering the number of female characters they are dishing out. Eventually they will probably release her. And I loved that show when I was a kid.
That three pack would shelf warm for ages. It would mainly be bought for custom fodder if at all, and only then that would be after they were clearance priced because they sat around forever.
Probably. I could see the first hand full of sets sell out, but shelf warm after that. The SHIELD three pack arguably was filled with more popular characters than an Agent Carter three pack would be and it sits around at the one TRU in my area.
It might. I still want one. I'll be surprised if the Kate Bishop/Captain Sam/Vision 3-pack doesn't shelf warm. I might buy one to use for some fodder, but I have no real interest in Kate or Sam, and don't like that look for the Vision.
Yeah, they have the 'buck' for Firestar but I'm really surprised that Hasbro haven't released a figure of her. She's one figure I've been waiting for a very long time for! X)
Is Walmart the only store to get the Absorbing Man wave? I've never seen it at TRU, but saw it at Target once, which was a long time ago.
I've seen it shelfwarm at my TRU minus Venom and SpiderGwen, I only saw them the day they put them out
Pretty much this for me. I've only seen the wave at TRU, and always missing Gwen and Venom. Target still has the old AoU and Spider-Man (Rhino) waves, while Walmart has the new Captain America (Onslaught) and AoU waves.
I've seen Onslaught wave at TRU mult times but only once did I see the whole wave there. I've only seen Absorbing Man wave once and it was at Target but missing Spider Gwen and interestingly Beetle. Glad they left Venom for me . For some reason all the Targets around here restocked Captain America with the 1st Odin wave so Targets are clogged with Odin wave and mostly Rhino wave, I don't know how they are gonna get new stuff in. Edit: Oh yeah, Walmarts are pretty much crap around here, they don't get anything new for ages and what they have lingers forever.
Both lines were very recently released in my country too. Absorbing Man wave hit my country 2-3 weeks ago while the Onslaught BAF wave has yet to hit retail, only arriving at import stores.
Is Spider Gwen that hard to find? I've seen 3 between NY and PA. Maybe I just got really lucky and was there shortly after they were put out. I saw all of the cap wave too. On the other hand I never saw the hulkbuster wave.
It really depends on region and area I guess. At one point, Black Cat became fairly easy to find around here and one time I found 3 Visions. There's that sweet spot with regards to timing, mid-December is when stores get shipments in left and right and sometimes you can luck out finding multiple packs of the latest waves. Right now in my area, I'm seeing the Rhino BAF wave less and less with the Captain America Red Skull wave trickling in as well as Absorbing Man before it.
