Hasbro Will NEVER Make These Marvel Legends
🤟
💪💪
Beast Jubilee Morph Sunspot Cable Bastion
great picks.
I hope they finish the astonishing Xmen team sometime this year or early next year
Yeah my hope is within 12 months we at least see the rest of the team
I’d love a Frankencastle
I hope got you and Jordan’s sake they make one
A MotU style weapons pack could work. Imagine buying a pack that includes guns, effects, and a Cap shield (with straps and without holes!) Unfortunately they could never do a head pack because they change the peg size every week.
I think at least one accessory pack would do really well.
Along the same lines as how do they select the characters, how do they determine who gets a figure first: the MCU version or the comic version? Characters like Starfox, Pip The Troll, Titania, Werewolf By Night, Ancient One, Swordsman don’t have figures at all. Which version gets precedence?
If the Dragon Man pre-sale concept is successful, would Hasbro consider other things besides oversized figures, like large boxsets of the Imperial Guard and Serpent Society?
1- do they plan to stop the Target exclusive because they're a pain in the ... To get even more so outside of the us. 2-do they have plans to fix the issue of how hard it is to get some characters like the last cable they made that was sold out quickly Everywhere.
Good questions. I feel like Target is the least likely to stop doing exclusives but I know what you mean. Even in the US it can be a pain to try and preorder them.
I forgot another question Do they plan to rerelease the army builders that were release on the pulse sites like the Skrulls and hellfire club troopers
Yeah I got a question for Hasbro “Why aren’t you guys making more hulk figures.”
“I want the boar brothers Hasbro.” And strong collectors if you don’t know who the boar brothers are look em up pls they are so cool
Whoa. Boar brothers look like a long shot but I’d be down to get them.
Yes to Kushala. No to expanding the cloth goods. Doom for example should have more volume to his cape. Could characters come with both? Hawkeye seems like he could have had a soft skirt for sitting AND a hard piece for standing. Soft goods are really hard to give gravity to at this scale.
I agree. The soft goods now are a little flimsy. That’s where I wonder if they will keep making it better or if this is as far as they want to take it.
I would ask the Hasbro team what the point of secrecy is when it comes to future releases? We're all used to this of course as we've known no other way, but wouldn't it be nice to just know the exact figures being released in a given year, the exact prices and accurate release dates so we can budget and plan accordingly? We're all adults collecting these figures so why continue with all the cloak and dagger reveals? Just tell us and we'll buy it. Simple, end of story. Like is there a business rationale behind keeping figures a secret?
My guess to this answer is by staggering out releases they can keep the hype. Rather than one mass announcement some things are going to over shadow others. People would loose their minds over a couple things and others never get talked about. By showing 10 at a time there’s the opportunity to have 10 “best of this reveal” figures. I think that’s why I like the leaks each year. It gives me an idea but then there’s still a surprise when I see them through the year.
Will they start making figures that people have wanted , and would actually be no brainers for them because of GI Joe and Transformers . A Howling Commandos set . ( GIJ) A ROM and Space Knights set. ( TFRS) I don't expect many heroes like Jack of Hearts because of tooling but the listed sets would be easy to make for Hasbro .
I mean I think every year they put out figures people want. I can’t remember the exact number of brand new characters they did last year (it’s in the marvel legends vs McFarlane episode) but it was a lot. I thought we were supposed to be getting jack of hearts this year. Maybe I heard that wrong.
Soft goods multiple man would sell a lot given being an army builder
Oh that’s another good use of I’d think him and gambit could have pretty similar coats.
@@thestrongcollectors cut and paste. some people cry about reuse, but i think that model has been legends greatest asset to give us a wide range of characters
I’m always surprised how much fans cry about that. It’s just action figures. If you want budget collecting there’s going to need to be some reuse. And companies like four horsemen do it so well
Good questions
Thank you. 🙏
Yea don't forget to ask about variants! Also you touched on Dios but would they look to do Dios for haslabs? An avengers tower, the danger room, a generic street scene etc
Yeah I feel like with some of the kickstarters of street dios and street thugs Hasbro could do some good things that fans would really want.
If dragon man is over 80$ no marvel legends fan can afford it. Unless it goes to Ollie’s most marvel legends need coupons to purchase figures. Marvel legends fans can only afford free otherwise all their comments are “it’s overpriced.” Mcfarlane is doing soft goods but all his figures have pins in the joints. So you get a nice cape for a figure that has old tech and terrible articulation.
I really don’t hate pins. Maybe that could be on another hot takes episode. If they haven’t started doing pinless I would have never cared.
I would ask how do they do synergy with MCU and Comics?
Those would be interesting meetings to sit in on.
I feel like Hoods should stay plastic
I’m always a little weary of mixing a soft cape and plastic hood. But the dr doom is pretty good though.
Leaks can be bad Mcfarlane for example everything is leaked no surprises Hasbro has some tricks up their sleeves
I think with McFarlane there’s almost so many leaks that anything could be coming.
Personally I hate soft goods on Marvel Legends...like really hate. With a burning passion hate. I accept I might be in the minority, but I don't want them. If I had a question to ask, it would actually be what the future of Legends is at mass retail. It seems like we're getting more and more exclusives, and also less and less BAF waves. Looking at what has been hitting Ollie's, it really seems like they hit a point of oversaturation and big box retail doesn't want more. I still buy most of my Legends at brick and mortar stores, but I'm having to shift more to online.
That’s true. It does seem like with the online exclusives the boxes are more filled with accessories though so that’s a good step. I also don’t love soft goods unless it’s at the level of mafex which I don’t think will happen super soon.
I was wondering how they could better cover multiple characters who share anniversaries. I feel like Daredevil and Ghost Rider got shafted by the Spiderman and Wolverine 50th anniversary sets. Would they consider condensing anniversaries for other characters to be able to shine?
I feel like the anniversary lines have to stick with the flag ship characters to bring in new fans. I would have loved to see a heavier focus on both DD and punisher we did just get 3 DD figures within a year and a new punisher on the way so we got them but just not in the fan fare way of an anniversary line. They could just have a yearly anniversary wave each year to get some of those in similar packages.
I’d like to know why we keep getting what if waves when we have versions of characters that people do want. Like WW2 Captain America, War Machine MK2, hammer drones, Avengers Loki, Heimdal,
I don’t think you can only get older characters. You’ve got to keep up with the current media while sometimes going back to the older stuff.
We NEED The Mangog as a made-to-order deluxe figure
Also I’d LOVE to see Sif. She’s one of my favorite comic characters. I say she needs a She-Hulk QUALITY figure but not a She-Hulk SIZED figure because while Sif IS muscular, she is also pretty short
That would be a cool figure. How big would you want Mangog to be?
Yes to a mangog fig
@@thestrongcollectors maybe around Dragon Man size. He doesn’t really have a definite size and Legends isn’t really known for their scaling. I just want him to be really big. Maybe pack him in with War Thor or a Jason Aaron Malekith
A whole JA Thor Baf wave would go hard. Maybe have Kurse as the BAF
My question would be do they make toys they think collectors want or toys that they want .
My guess is it's a bit of a mix. they can probably suggest some of the ones they want but they have to have those staples that that will sell. It all has to come back to if they can make money to keep the brand going.
I hope we see lyra, a new she hulk, doc Samson, red king, ravage, mad man, a-bomb,red she hulk,zzzax,hulk 2099 and more we should get characters from the 2015 secret wars
a bomb is a the top of my wish list for Hulk characters.
I want them to bring back fan vote so we can get more obscure characters. But knowing people, we'll self sabotage
That would be super fun. They haven't done them in so long.
I'm not a big fan of the soft goods because the rarely look good.
That’s where I’m at with them too. I feel like other people get them to look good in pics but I can never quite get that look myself.
I love the leak lists, especially dependable lists like rectangular. Like you said, i can start getting excited about ones I'm really wanting, but we still get lots of surprises throughout the year.
Very true. We never have a 100% list of figures. There’s always new things throughout the year that weren’t on that list.
I'm a fan of both mcu and comic legends. My question Would you consider adding mcu villains like the Dark Elves, Kurse and Malekith? We are very limited on baddies for mcu... 👍🏽🇬🇧🤞
Very true. I think mcu fans would love to see more bad guys.
Loved the video guys. I never thought about this topic very much as I truly believe whatever reply received would only be what the corporation allows them to say. However, what I am curious to know is now with the newly super articulated female buck are their any plans to upgrade older female figures particularly Scarlet Witch and Invisible Woman or is that just wishful thinking?
I’m sure they will upgrade some of those. Although before the 2 you mentioned I’d like to see Elektra get the super articulated treatment.
@@thestrongcollectors Oh Elektra is on my upgrade list too - and how about a new Mystique? Or how about an articulated Emma Frost (for a change)?
Haha imagine they finally do an articulated Emma
I would like to know if they would consider vehicles (despite how things went with EoV), or maybe some dioramas as future made to order projects like Dragon Man.
I wonder what something like a fantastic car would cost.
Clickbait! 😜 If I could ask the Hasbro Marvel Legends team one question, it would be “If a fan could spend one week in your shoes, what is the one thing about your job that they would leave the experience with a greater understanding and/or appreciation of?” The other one I would ask in as genuine and respectful a way as possible is “is there a concern on the part of some of the stakeholders that fans will lose interest in the line if teams are completed too quickly?”
I think both of those are great questions. I doubt the second could be answered directly but I bet the answer is yes. At least in the way of, if they can keep a fan around a little longer while waiting on a team to get completed maybe theyll pick up another and start a new team that needs completing to keep that drip going.
@thestrongcollectors Actually, I know more than one person who has QUIT collecting BECAUSE it's taken too damn long for certain teams to be completed, such as Classic X-Men (STILL WAITING ON THAT BANSHEE FFS!), X-Force, and X-Factor (1.5 AND 2.0!), and that's just 3 quick examples... I mean, seriously, think about it... why couldn't they complete the teams fairly quickly and make the fans happy, because we all know they're eventually going to do updated figures to replace the older stuff along the way, so no one would be very likely to quit, and IF they're just looking to complete certain teams ANYWAY, then are they REALLY super inclined to buy all the other $#!t while they wait for that one damned figure?! No, probably not. Hasbro is very stupid in a lot of ways. Listening to Jesse Falcon about a DAMNED DOOM HEAD WITH GALACTUS AS A TIER "REWARD" INSTEAD OF ANOTHER HERALD OR MAYBE SOME AWESOME BLAST EFFECTS THAT WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN MORE USEFUL IN A DISPLAY, INSTEAD OF A BULL$#!T PAPERWEIGHT...!!! (YES, STILL PISSED about that "genius" move!)🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
why are you asking us these questions? this is a stupid idea
Thanks for your input, view and comment.
@@thestrongcollectorsI know how you guys make these videos and for me (that love and enjoy collect Marvel Legends) is always fun to play a new video, could be speculation video, top video, wish list, discussing an interview, I'm mean, I'm just enjoying someone speaking Marvel Legends in general.
I usually just ignore something that don't like, instead of waist my time with a negative or offensive comment. That's looks so bad. Let's respect and have fun with the action figures we like.
My goal has always been to reply to every comment we get. So far I’m able to do that. Even with the ones that don’t like what we do. My thought is, if they didn’t like it, at least I get engagement and my comment can just add to that engagement.
@@thestrongcollectorsyou're right.
Nice pool with dogpool
That would be a good one
I'd buy a Mole man Haslab with Giganto, Moloids and a bunch of monsters in it. I also hope that we get new Wrecking Crew and Absorbing Man figures
I've been saying with the way did the last xmen multi packs it would makes sense if they did the wrecking crew as 2 separate 2 packs
Giant Apocalypse with the Four Horsemen
I feel like apocalypse could be a made to order figure and the horsemen could be multiple 2 packs.
@@thestrongcollectors not sure that a two pack would work with their horses
Ohh you’re wanting horses and everything. That would probably need to be a haslab it’s self or something.
This is weird but i really want a Jean Dewolfe and Sin Eater two pack. Its such an iconic storyline that it CAN'T be ignored. It can even have an awesome name like "Cry Wolf" two pack. Sin Eater is a major spidey villain that has 0 ML figures and he genuinely needs one. Since its a dark storyline i wouodnt mind if it was a bit more adult oriented. Like for accessories, give Sin Eater his machine gun he used to gun down jean and a bruised and beaten unmasked head with welts, blood and tears (spiderman beat sin eater so bad he gave him permanent brain damage and deformed him as peter was still grieving over Jean and wanted him put down)
I think if marvel legends keeps going towards adult collectors like it seems like they kind of are maybe in the future. It might be a little too soon. That sounds more up mcfarlanes ally.
