I think that was/is the case for most of the 5-packs they have done. They sit, go on sale, go on clearance and then on the secondary market they go up in value. So the same will probably hold true for this idea.
Good ideas. When I saw Cat I immediately thought Shen Kuei/Cat. He would absolutely fit this idea. Maybe with original costume Shang-Chi and either one of his MI-6 allies (Leiko Wu, Clive Reston) or enemies (Midnight Sun, Zaran the Weapons Master, Shockwave).
As much as I would love this, they’d require far too much new sculpting and tooling for what Dwight implied for this pitch. I think an MTO is their only hope at this point.
Yeah, some people are forgetting what Dwight said. No new tooling or pack-ins. So at most, we'd likely be getting new heads.
Exactly. Absolute bare bones. I don’t even know if he meant including extra hands at all. But I am still 100% here for it if it gets us some of the “easy” characters we’ve been suggesting for years.
I wonder if something like a Wasp 3-pack of different looks or a Kitty Pryde with different looks would work - not d-list but maybe they don't want to make multiples of some characters in the main line. And by different looks I mean repaints of the same body.
Some of them really would be so simple. Will O'The Wisp is literally just a Sentry head on a green Vulcan body with a white starburst tampo on the chest. Spot is black spots on the Zero body. Joseph and Cecilia Reyes are new heads on the UXM275 bodies. The original Viper is just the Eel figure cast in green plastic. And none of those characters need accessories or, really, even multiple hands.
