FFC series 2 update

[CapMan1984]

So I called my local TRU & the manager was unbelievably helpful with looking up this line via the SKN I gave her... check Fwoosh sightings forum for that SKN.

 

Unfortunately, she had bad, bad news. She said that the "Classics series 2" line (as she called it from the website) was marked "Discontinued" & that would affect ALL TRU stores, not just Arkansas locations.

 

People are reporting that their Kangs are coming in the mail via TRU.com, but I think this means TRU just got a few in along with the independent retailers & now have discontinued the line completely...

 

Glad I ordered from Amok Time, Inc.

I knew I should've pre-ordered when BBTS had them! I barely saw series 1. I just happened to go to Illinois on business and came across them.

[DSmith]

I nabbed Kang and Dragon Man on eBay MONTHS ago, and so glad that I did. No worries about whether I'll get them, and only paid a few dollars each over the retail price.

[mrhayzie]

oh my....i guess i knew this was gonna happen

[Mr. Yac]

well this sucks, but not unexpected. another awesome line killed because they are too stupid to realise we don't need more reeds, torchs and things. not to mention the awesome animated line killed too. and i'm sure they'll still stick us with another god awful set of movie figures when FF 2 rolls around even though all the stores in the world are FILLED with the first crappy series of movie figures....god i hate movie figures

[Clay]

Man, that really sucks. I really wanted the Invisible Woman and Dragon Man (already got Kang).

Same here. I'm hoping BBTS will have Dragon man and Sue back on there soon

[Draven79]

Grrrrrr I want that Sue!! I am glad I have Kang, but I am not happy with just him.

After paying more than retail for them, I'm overjoyed, yet still want an extra set or 2 to open them. Guess my luck doesn't have far to travel.

[gruntcast]

CRAP!!@@!#@ now I have to buy the painted version of the Invisible Woman on ebay. @grumpy@ @grumpy@

Here's hoping Hasbro fixes this mess and rereleases Kang and Dragon Man somewhere down the line.

[ColdCrush16]

Am I the only one who would like that Human Torch figure from series two?

And I liked the movie toys, there were good looking to me, I saw them at stores, never picked them up because I never had a thought in my mind back then of starting a toy collection.

Gosh

[CapMan1984]

Yeah, here's hoping.

 

My concern about re-releases under Hasbro is that a lot of these figures don't mean safety SOP's (Standard Operating Procedures), so if these characters are ever released again, they will be different molds.

 

Just my two cents, hopefully I'm proven wrong.

[synch]

I'm with the dang I need a kang and dragon man group in this one

 

I actaully like most of the FF in this one as well & would most likely get them this time around... GO FIGURE :S

[slao]

Yep, it definitely sucks...I really wanted that Kang and Dragon Man. Hey Hasbro, please re-release these bad boys again, same for the Super Skrull! Yeah, they aren't reading this, but what the hell.

[synch]

Grrrrrr I want that Sue!! I am glad I have Kang, but I am not happy with just him.

Draven

 

You don't want to have one and then have the entire gap in you're collection with all the rest dude, give kang to me and let me save you the pain!!

I hope hasbro does... & whats with the safety bs here?.. I see no difference in what we are getting so far and the regular ml... but then I am no expert on this type of thing, I only buy and play with them What other ML from TB would hasbro not be able to put out?.. & why?..

[Draven79]

Umm how about No Synch! @loll@ I will buy the other's I need on Ebay if I have to.

[biglebowski9999]

Has anybody gotten their order from Amoktime filled yet? I still haven't...

[Postalboy]

I feared this would happen. Thats why Im so glad I ordered a set of 5, Kang, Dragon Man, Thing, Torch, and Invisible Woman (which one I dont know yet), from Legends Action Figures. It only cost me $84.95 Canadian shipping included. (not sure what that is exactly in US dollars but I think its even less in USD)

[Guest Leroy]

well you guys are all lucky we wont even see them over here in Australia, that said I will thanks to eBay but my wallet hates me as the cost me 90 for a set and that’s US but as far as in concerned its a bargain cause like I said we'll never see them here..

[darthsith]

Right. I'm not paying inflated prices. If I can get them in trade its cool. Otherwise, I'll be outta a DM and a Kang.

[Guest merz]

Not very shocking at all. This FF line has been a failure since the begining. All most of us wanted was insanely limit packed and devoured by scalpers.

[nagauthier]

In a perfect world we'd get a boxset next year with Kang, Dragon Man, Super Skrull, and a nice new Doom or other FF villian. It would be a cheap box set for Hasbro since they'd only need to sculpt one new figure.

 

Maybe we can at least hope that these figures will see the light of day again when FF2 comes out in 2008.

[ransomz]

Is Target still getting this line?

[darthsith]

Target never got them in my area. I think only TRU and Meijer got them out of the major retailers.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see KB and even dollar stores carrying these. TB is gonna dump stock sometime.
