Anyone else feel like Todd did a better job with these faces than most of his multiverse line?

The catch? Turns out it's a digital set!

Testing out Allen and Angstrom. They look really good and I really hope Super7 doesn't drop the ball! This would be an incredible back-from-the-brink branding story!

Ah yes, the eternal promise of wealth for all those mass-produced lower-priced collector's items! I'm actually grateful to Hasbro for allowing me to feel free to open these figures, pose 'em and throw out the packaging. Mondo and Mezco on the other hand...!

Genuinely I thought it was just a really bad Ryan Reynolds likeness for a second, before seeing that it was supposed to be Kyle Rayner

Lol I know this is a joke, but are there actually people salty about this? I recently sold some figures on ebay and discovered that there is now a 14% sellers fee for listings in the hobby/action figure category. Even if you have a rare figure, ebay eats a huge chunk of your profit. It’s kind of a drag. I think by time I did the math including the selling fee, taxes, and shipping costs, the lot of figures I had sold came out to like $8 a figure for me. Nothing I sold was particularly valuable, but if you are looking to make a huge profit off of action figure sells, it’s probably not going to happen. I do get that some collectors are into rarity or whatever, but Marvel Legends has never really been a line that focuses on variants or special limited edition type stuff for the most part. McFarlane seems to still have that mentality when he releases stuff, but that’s not really Hasbro’s thing. I appreciate that Hasbro does rereleases.

Scalping hasn't been profitable in the action figure market since COVID. A few convention figures or weird off releases occasionally become rare and shoot up (who would have guessed that the only comic WW from McFarlane would increase in value when he produced 20 of them and didn't do more until this year), but on the whole the economics just don't work out. If you buy a figure for $30, you'd have to basically sell it for $40 or more just to break even with eBay fees. There is a lot of complaining about "scalpers" stealing figures when preorders sell out fast, but that's not what is happening. What is happening is that McFarlane, Target, and others simply don't put a real quantity up to begin with.

They had a survey many moons ago asking if we preferred ULTIMATES or lesser accessories cheaper figure options. I chose the lesser, with a suggestion of alt pair of hands and one head, similar to Marvel Legends. I guess in this market that wasn't feasible in today's market but these are perfect for me. They look like Ryan Ottley's artwork, have great joints, adequate paint hits and the plastic seems much higher quality. I mean they're going to stand on my shelf and collect dust......I can do that at $30 a pop. I will still get some of Jada's offerings like Oliver, Atom and Probably Season 1 Mark.

Netflix is developing Ravenloft, a live-action series set in the popular gothic horror corner of the Dungeons & Dragons universe. The drama hails from writer and executive producer John August, executive producer Alfonso Cuarón and Hasbro Entertainment. The project marks a new Dungeons & Dragons television effort at Netflix and is not connected to The Forgotten Realms, the live-action series the streamer put into development in early 2025 with Drew Crevello writing and Shawn Levy executive producing. That project is no longer moving forward at Netflix. Described as a prestige fantasy series in which adventure collides with gothic horror and tragic romance, Ravenloft will explore the setting’s Domains of Dread through character-driven stories of dark magic and supernatural intrigue. At the center is the origin story of vampire Darklord Strahd von Zarovich, charting his transformation from tragic antihero into one of Dungeons & Dragons’ most infamous villains. Strahd’s journey is rooted in themes of power, love and obsession, ultimately culminating in his transformation into an undead tyrant. August arrives on the project with deep gothic and fantasy bona fides. His screenwriting credits include five films directed by Tim Burton: Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie. Introduced in 1983 by Tracy and Laura Hickman, Ravenloft has become one of the most enduring and frequently played settings in Dungeons & Dragons. The gothic-horror world has expanded well beyond the tabletop, generating more than 100 official novels, role-playing game modules, video games and companion rulebooks, in addition to countless fan-created works. The setting is part of Hasbro’s broader push to expand Dungeons & Dragons beyond the tabletop. The toy and entertainment giant has spent the past five years prioritizing a live-action series adaptation of the franchise, working in parallel with the 2023 feature Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. The company’s previous television efforts have included the Netflix Forgotten Realms project, as well as a Dungeons & Dragons drama from Rawson Marshall Thurber and Crevello. That series received a straight-to-series order at Paramount+ in early 2023 but ultimately did not move forward. Hasbro Entertainment is behind those efforts and is also developing Baldur’s Gate, a drama series at HBO based on Wizards of the Coast’s hit video game franchise set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. That high-profile project is expected to serve as Emmy winner Craig Mazin’s follow-up series to HBO’s acclaimed video game adaptation The Last of Us. With Ravenloft, Netflix and Hasbro are taking another swing at translating one of the most recognizable properties in tabletop gaming to the small screen — this time through the darker, more romantic and horror-driven mythology of one of D&D’s most iconic villains.

The secondary market might go down in the toilet. People are going to be frustrated. Scalpers gonna scalp... Oh no... Anyway!

Thanks so much! Appreciate you!

Yes, please. I would love a Retro Serpentor. Same for Destro v2 (Iron Grenadier). And Jinx. And a cartoon-accurate Nemesis Enforcer too, please.

Shown below is the new Mattel Monster High Skullector Buffy and Angel Doll 2-Pack, now available at Amazon. Product Description: Watch out vampires, demons, and forces of darkness -- Monster High is unleashing a Buffy The Vampire Slayer two-pack upon the world! Buffy and Angel dolls are dressed for a “graveyard shift,” so to speak, in their ‘90s-chic faux leather outfits. And rest-assured, Buffy comes with stake and crossbow accessories so she’s ready for whatever vampire comes her way… except for Angel, or course. Dolls cannot stand alone. Doll stands included. Each sold separately, subject to availability. Colors and decorations may vary.

Was just thinking about this line again after some time.. No news on what this is? Id love it if it was a superarticulated line of all our favorite horror movie villains that scale with Marvel Legends. You want me to rebuy my entire NECA collection? This is how you get me to do it

I really hope this was just a screen test, demo, to promote this movie being funded into production, because that little snippet was dookie supreme and wouldn't even be good as a late night channel 4000 movie in 1997, that looked like Rob got his drunk uncle to write and film it.

Why Oh Why can't we get a Retro Serpentor , after all this time that figure is still insanely rough to get and commands some high prices, I'd have thought at this point we'd have a second shot at it, it came out more then 3 years ago, I don't want a chariot, so Ideally a Retro carded figure! pleaseeee

$29.99 for double jointed figures from Super7? I must be dreaming, that's really unusual to see them lower price while also integrating more articulation, sculpt looks really decent but I suppose they managed to save money by not including accessories and not making crazy elaborate packaging.

Looks like she's wearing a chastity belt.

Those are both excellent figures!

Jada and Super7 figures work together, take it from someone who has Battle Beast and Mark from SDCC. Allen is in Wave 3 I think from Jada so we'll all 108 by the time we get them. https://toynewsi.com/247-65110
