    I miss the days where action figures came with accessories like a display stand props, comic books, and trading cards, as well as weapons and power fx but now a days, the only accessories that comes with a fingers are changeable hands and we'll be lucky if we get an alternate head, I mean not even a display stand.

    Jada Toys acquiring Marvel could be better for everyone as they could keep up the scale.
    McFarlane most common mistake with their figures is that they seem to design figures in a pre posed stance amd just throw articulation over them. It's not the case of Knightfall Batman and other recent releases and that leads me to think they improved so much that it doesn't make sense for them to lose the license. And even some of their First releases receive a lot of praise, like Action Comics 1000 Superman with single jointed elbows. I personally like McFarlane's DC multiverse, the infected Superman body mold held up really well with multiple relelases and there are so many good releases like the BvS figures, the Justice League movie figures, TDKR build a horse, Bane and so many other, most of the movie figures are great or salvageable. If you just look how easy it is to improve Hush Superman for example..it just doesn't make sense for them to lose the license.

      You might change your mind, some people are all in on Hot Tous and not only they're expensive, they are very limited in articulation. I don't mean to be that annoying guy but if you have interest, takes a look at Bones review on Knightfall Batman. He explains why the thigh cut is not as much a big deal as people make it look like. DC figures from McFarlane are great imo, another one you can check is Anthony's Customs review on Blight. I know it sucks to change, it's uncomfortable but these are luxury items, no one needs them, actually our lives gets better without them, less money spent, more space available and less trouble dealing with these things.

    As much as I adore Mcfarlane, i dont think he's right for articulated figures such as DC Multiverse. He, as much as possible, tries to turn them into statues which is super annoying. Cant even keep up with scaling, accessories and articulation of characters. I am tired of having to depend on Mafex or other imports all the time for a decent 1/12 DC Figure. I am also not a fan of mcfarlanes collector edition. Pricier than the regular releases with standard accessories that the character is supposed to have as well as the chase editions. He's too ambiguous when it comes to these things. Mcfarlane can stick to the statues. I need someone else who can go toe to toe with Hasbro, Jada and Mafex 6in figures.

  • @LosMSR
    @LosMSR Місяць тому +1

    This won't be a disaster if Mattel takes Marvel, and Hasbro takes DC. Mattel already worked on six scale in the past, and He-Man waves are getting better and better. Hasbro already had experience with Marvel, DC will be very smooth for them. Mcfarlane taking Marvel will be a big mistake, even more if they want to make this on seven scale, the monsters, and BAF will be great, probably will be the only appealing sale point for everyone.

      This. Imagine marvel split the 6 inch license between say, hasbro and mattel or jada. There would be direct competition at the cheaper price point. Then they would all up their game and try to out do the other. competition is healthy and brings out the best. Hasbro just pop out repaint after repaint, because, well, what other options are there at the 20-30 bucks price point?

    If Jada Toys gets the marvel license that would be a great upgrade to marvel toy line. Hasbro needs a competitor because they currently have a monopoly on the 6 in marvel scale and they produce a lot of subpar quality figures. Competition could help elevate the quality of Hasbro's products. I think multiple companies should get a crack at marvel 6in and allow us the consumer to judge what we like instead of one company given us whatever.

    But no matter what it feels like it comes down to business and money and not what we want.

Of course, that's not good for Hasbro since that may reduce profits

    I think it's a stalemate. Hasbro hasn't done a great job with the finances. But the MCU/Star Wars IP isn't worth much either. Both of the figures from those licenses are peg warming. Only thing that really sold recently was X-Men 97 and Deadpool 3 (but they didn't even have products ready for release).
    So it's hard to say at this point. If was a smaller company like Jada that's just moving up I would only take the Marvel comics licence but wouldn't touch SW or MCU with a ten foot pole, especially making a name with SF, I wouldn't risk losing our growth. I would rather apply for the Mortal Kombat licence and stick to gaming

    I’d love to see Jada make marvel 6 inch line. And allow mcfarlane to make a 7 inch line. Issues with mcfarlane is over designed and mediocre articulation. And i don’t know if Jada can produce head sculpts that are based on mcu actors. I think hasbro should lose most rights to marvel, keep Star Wars, and focus on gi joe and transformers. But i wouldn’t mind them getting DC direct line. Mcfarlane clearly doesn’t want the line too much. Aside from statues. Which I’d expect would be simple to still produce under the collectors or page punchers moniker.
    In all gains & losses
    mcfarlane: DC multiverse/collectors DC page punchers & a “marvel page punchers” equivalent. Loses DC direct
    Hasbro: DC direct black series gi Joe & transformers. Loses exclusive rights to marvel “articulated” figures but maintains some rights to make marvel products
    Jada gains rights to 6 in marvel line as industry diversifies oem contracts

Its like, if you hear a figure is coming in a leaked list, you just know what 2 or 3 bodies it will be on before anything is shown. Its just same old same old.
