Awful waves

>>6357260
every neca goji fig, exept 54, the only good one. the rest have shitty qc and paint. not to mention the terrible sculpts. the 2 worst ones are gmk and shin

>>6357290
The 2014 Godzilla is great too though. They scanned the model straight in from the movie. Yeah GMK and Shin let me down. I wish they would make a Millenium one.

the 2014 looks nice, but the strange paint and the soft sculpt ruins it for me

Those aren't really waves, though, they're just single-release figures.

Honestly, it seems like when a new Marvel Legends wave comes out, only one or two of the figures are really sought after. The rest just kind of end up hanging out on the shelves for a very long time.

The second wave of Rogue One Black Series was pretty awful. The first wave was clogging the shelves already, preventing the Revan wave from coming, so the second wave doubled down on all the figures people didn't want or the store had 20 in stock of.

Think that boils down to the sub universe the wave is based in. Spidey and Mutants seem to do ok. It's the cosmic and Avengers stuff that pegwarms forever. MCU sells then all those horrible Z tier characters in fugly 80's outfits rot forever. Seriously, before the MCU, Avengers had some of the lamest looking characters. I'm sure *someone* wants them, but they make terrible looking toys.

I think Hasbro actually needs to take a page from Mattel's Wonder Woman. Ship a baf assortment, but also ship solid cases of the hot figure / new movie lead(s). So you don't end up with 6/8 pegwarmers for every case.

As a kid, I always thought Marvel had really bootleg looking superheroes outside the main ones like Spidey and the X-men. That said, I do appreciate all the C-listers Hasbro does, because they're almost what makes Marvel, marvel. The really loud costume aesthetics. The problem is, they really shouldn't be selling them for $20; it makes it much harder to impulse buy. If these guys where released as two packs with no BAF pieces for $25-30, it'd make people much more satisfied; casual collectors wouldn't have to buy characters they don't want to make a BAF, and hardcore fans can get the Z-listers they need to complete a line-up.

Is that the Hovertank Pilot wave? It was almost unreal to see, without exaggeration, 15 filled pegs with that same figure.

>>6357455

You're never going to see 2 packs under $40 bud. All the recent ones which sport at least 1 repaint have $39.99 srps.

Sorry to say, but using them as con exclusives or bbts box sets make the most sense.

Eg, for the gotg stuff, throw Ex Ni-who-now?, Vance and Deaths head into a boxed exclusive whatever, then a 8 pc baf Mantis wave of

Darkhawk
Nova
Angela
Adam Warlock
Nebula
Yondu
Gamora
Drax

+
Non BAF cases 2x
Starlord
Starlord 2
Groot
Rocket

The old Toy Biz X-Force figures have to be up there for consistently worst. The 6th wave was fine, but the others were just jam packed with shit and never ever sold. If I think back to Walgreens in the 1990's I immediately imagine Gideon, GW Bridge, Kane, and Grizzly sitting on the pegs every time I went to look for new stuff for at least 3 solid years. They might still be there if I look hard enough.

I definitely remember seeing forearm and warpath for ages at the stores, unsure about the others.

Okay, so the ones you named are a bit boring, sure, but the rest of the wave was pretty solid. I remember being excited as a kid getting the likes of Deadpool, Stryfe, Sjatterstar, Warpath, and Cable. Hell, that Cable was my favorite toy for a long time even though his right arm was crippled by a dumb karate chop gimmick.

I even thought Forearm was pretty cool even though I had no idea who he was, simply because he had four arms and I was into four armed toys. Anyway, my point is, it had some stinkers, but it wasn't a bad wave.

You guys dont know what pegwarming is when this stupid bitch stayed up for literally years in TRUs and KayBees.

The XForce wave disappeared faster than Deadpool does today compared to the dozens of Storms that prevented new stock from coming in.
