    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    I'd like to add the Lion "King" and the female Pumas that were announced. I need to inventory and see what I actually have at this point. I was up to date but had been thinking about adding a few more. Folks seem to be selling the ML black panther head and tail for not too much on eBay, Can't...

    General Marvel Legends

    As a strategy, instead of having a random few pegs of Marvel stuff all the time and customers not knowing what is going to be available at any trip, start promoting "it's Marvel month again" and having a large display 2 or 3 waves and exclusives and box sets would be an interesting way to do it...

    General Marvel Legends

    Lots of Lego based on what I saw in a redesigned one. Think of displays that were more like the endcaps highlighting a toyline that they do now and rotate through during the year. I didn't explore it in depth to see what was "missing" but it felt that way. I wonder if the WalMart Hasbro ML+...

    General Marvel Legends

    I suspect that is it - I think they want to have the store look full with less in stock and look more sophisticated with smaller displays and not just aisles and rows. Parents have said this about teenagers forever I think.

    Honestly, that's my hope!

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    I've mixed and matched a lot of the Spero figures, they can be a bit of a pain to pull apart but fun to kitbash and I do like them. I probably should get some of the ML cats as well, I haven't so far. (I've explained my issues with Spero's customer service in that thread...not high on them at...

    Star Trek

    There is enough there to like that I am still optimistic. It is the glossy paint on the clothes that is disappointing. But the accessories look impressive. None of this wave are must have characters for me (I ordered half of this wave) so if they get things a bit better by the time Wave 3 with...

    I have a lot of the Spero Toys cat folk but I am also tempted by the Ranger pack.

    One A Day 2.0: Day #320 - Magma

    I want training uniform Amara, preferably with the Art Adams style hair with the late 80's perm. Then I want a three-pack with powered up Magma, Sunspot, and true wolf-form Rahne.

    Mythological/Legends/Religious Figures combo thread

    I need to update the first post, but for those who think Journey to the West is, like, too old man, you can start your super rad and cool collection with this new figure: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/product/urban-journey-west-ssl-001-trendy-wukong-1_6-scale-action-figure-183927?variation=361914

    One A Day 2.0: Day #320 - Magma

    I think yes for Immortus and Rama-Tut, not sure about the other.

    The only time I have seen true "build your own from parts" work was the Droid Factory stations at Disney when they had dozens of Astromech Droid parts and you could make your own combo - either keeping with the established pairings of dome and bodies by model or just whatever color and part...

    General Marvel Legends

    It seems like such low hanging fruit for them, a chance to get some easy sales and a chance to maybe get more folks to look at the main line. Some bad guys like Doom and Green Goblin, include Hulk, Thing, Thanos - larger but make them bare bones if needed. Thor, Deadpool, etc.

    General Marvel Legends

    That was what they suggested, but not sure why they would choose a much higher price-point and deluxe figure to be evergreen. Most of the time you want your evergreen to be the gateway product and you try to charge the minimum. What they need is a Marvel Legends Classics line that are straight...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    I assume they went the Kickstarter route in hopes of getting traction with the TTRPG crowd who follow those campaigns - if they stuck to their website they are unlikely to get noticed. And while it is true most of the backing dollars are going to the figures, I would think a campaign getting...

    Mattel DC Figures

    If you watch WWE, you see all of those characters or have seen them. Cody will sell more than Jey and Jey more than Jacob Fatu (possibly) but if you watch the product you know all of them and might be enticed by any of them. So I think mixed assortments work because it is more of a closed...

    Mattel DC Figures

    With modern inventory control now tracking each figure in a wave (needed for online pre-orders and fulfillment) as an individual piece, I think they have excellent data on character selection. I think what they can't predict too well is when a line has peaked and started a downward trend overall...

    I can't see how to deal with the size to have this work, as much as I'd like it in concept...

    Mattel DC Figures

    I assume that WalMart buys into a full year worth of waves anyway - so they know by the end of the year they will have ordered 250,000 Batmen and 150,000 Supermen and 10,000 Stargirls, and next year 250,000 Batmen and 150,000 Supermen and 0 Stargirls but 10,000 Red Tornados. And don't mind if...

    Mattel DC Figures

    Of course, ultimately that is the true customer for the manufacturer, and they know what sells and how fast and how often they have to go on clearance. If you give WalMart the choice of a wave with Batman, Superman and WW in it versus a wave with Red Tornado, Plastic Man and Fire - of course...

    The Prisoner figures, Wandering Planet toys

    Forgot about these, they do look good - but not feeling the need for them. I love that their licenses are The Prisoner, Laurel and Hardy, and Nancy Drew... such a random assortment...

    I am skeptical that anyone with me as their niche is employable however, so the potential for income is low.

    I think you can buy the Wizard figure and then for $15 pick up an add-on set with the Druid parts. Its an add on, not a pledge level. Same for the three other alternate versions...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    I think it is a bit more than that, they do produce some very nice figures and the sculpts and paint is usually top notch. I appreciate that they do some interesting stuff in the Figure Obscura line, and the older Eathyron's Dozen set of bird warriors is still a favorite mini-line for me, and I...
