I had several of these (missing Ray I believe). They were a fun idea and it was cool to see the somewhat different outfits. I remember getting the Winston first and I immediately snapped off his left arm because there is a bit of torque with his head-spinning thing - hold the body! I did sort of fix it though and it worked well enough. The weapons are a bit weriid for ghost catching as they all have a physical element (and proton blasters to the side), but the mini-ghosts are cool.

So I am curious, how is Serpentor alive again since he was killed back during the original Marvel run?
Hey, JayC. In the last arc of the previous series, Mindbender cloned Ghengis Khan directly but gave him knowledge of modern millitary tactics. He is the new "Serpentor", but not actually the original. He is wearing the suit and all that.

The series actually was pretty good, at least to me. It's a bit weird, but then again, the movie is a bit weird, so it was very on-brand. I liked it more and more as it progressed just because it really was just okay with being what it was. I get that it wasn't a success, but it's a shame that Disney is just burying it.

Ooh - I'll defintiely be keeping an eye on this one. It looks nice, so let's hope the execution is good too. I dig the song for sure!

Yeah but 5-inch Goofy Scaled way to small with Donald and Mickey BUT I think this one will scale too tall LOL
I dunno - the Goofy I guess is a little short compared to Mickey and Donald (Goofy is 5 inch and Mickey and Donald are about 4). The issue is that Goofy is also the same height at Belle! They are really all over the place with this line! I still like them though.

This makes me want to try the game actually
The game is not that special - typical phone game nonsense. The character designs are so cool though - that's why I'm into the figures. If you download the app, you can check out every character model, even if you don't play and unlock them.
-
Okay, so this one is a little disappointing becuase Goofy and Genie hwave already been released in the other scales. Will that Scrooge be released seperately though? Because I NEED him!
-
Ah, so a 3-pack for these. I guess they had to sell us on the fractured repaints somehow. Still, they look great!

Idk man, this is cool in concept, but I can’t really see anyone really buying this tbh
I'd be into it, but I already have the regular Mirrorverse Buzz and don't need another version. I am glad the line is continuing though.

They need to do vehicles in the ReAction scale just so people can afford them.
Yeah, that would actually work for M.A.S.K!

I can't tell if I'm happy about this because it would mean we could finally see some modern M.A.S.K. figures or if I'm bothered about this because they would undoubtedly be some expensive M.A.S.K. figures.
Was always kind of hoping Hasbro would dust the property off and give us some Classified-esque M.A.S.K. stuff.
I agree. At first I am like, "Awesome M.A.S.K. at Super7!" But then I think about it and...yeah, they're going to be spectacular and spectacularly expensive. I have resisted those Silverhawks Ultimates, but I am not sure I will be able to control myself around M.A.S.K.

I'm glad to see these because I really like the Mirrorverse figures. I was afraid there wouldn't be any more of them as they seem to have disappeared from most stores. I don't love the mixed scale, but it's not a deal breaker.

Now THAT'S what I wanted to hear! I'm all-in for the Hama series.

First animated movie for Paramount Animation, Hasbro, and eOne.
Yeah, but that's not what the Paramount executive said:
"I’m so excited and proud to be working with Hasbro and eOne to bring the first animated Transformers movie to theaters for a never-before-told story"
-
"First" animated Transformers movie.
These people don't have a clue. I mean, does this count for nothing?
1986 represent!

Ah, forgot about the magic component. That's actually kind of awesome that Supes' blood dusted him.
And allow me to be the first to say "Welcome back!"
I looked it up and it was actually Superman 180 from 2002. I did a little research and apparently the handling of Superman & Vampires has been a little inconsistent. I found an article that covered the history, including the story I referenced.

I'm down.
I'm not familiar with the story, though, so I have to wonder: What vamp would be powerful enough to pierce the neck of the Man of Steel?
Man, i haven't posted here in YEARS, but been following again recently.
Hi to anyone who remembers me.
Anyway, I didn't read THIS story, but once in a 90's issue of Superman, Dracula himself bit Superman. The fangs did penetrate because of Drac's magic nature, however the instant he tasted that solar-charged blood, he disintegrated! I can't remember the exact issue where this happened though. Superman should be immune to vampirism in general, however this story clearly played fast and loose with the lore like that. Like while a Green Lantern could become a vampire, the ring should either protect the bearer initially or at the very least disallow using it to flat murder people. It would likely go seek a new bearer. So, really, it's just story reasons. I've heard it was actually pretty good overall as an Elseworlds type thing.

Question:
The box for the RAM and Trouble Bubble shows Breaker with his back-pack, communications gear and bubble-gum bubble, but mine didn't have it. Is it supposed to? Mine only came with his helmet, black pistol that was with the stands, and the grey pistol that was in the side compartment on the RAM.
The picture has lied to you. All of the figures come with minimal gear. This means helmets (except for Tele-Viper and HISS Commander), and only whatever pistols and knives are necessary to fit in whatever sheathes/holsters that the figure may have. You have to get the regular releases of the figures (the ones that have them, at least) to get all the 'standard' gear.
On one hand, it's cheap and the figures feel like they're missing things simply because they have the bare minimum. On the other, I've seen other companies just leave out the accessories on the vehicle drivers, so I'm actually quite pleased. Hasbro could have easily switched parts and removed all the holsters and such to begin with.
I gotta be honest, I'm a little torn on it myself...
I have a question about the gear? My Steeler didn't come with a gun, but he has an ankle holster for one. Was it supposed to have one? It is kind of bothering me.
Yes, I'm still around, just haven't posted in a while. Hope everyone's doing well.

I went to TRU this morning and found ONE peg worth of the single packs. It was ONE case only, and there was no Cobra Commander. I was the first person to the aisle, so an employee must have grabbed that one. I left only a Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. I'm glad I got there when I did. What a paltry shipment!
-
I found them. It's really not hard to dig them up out there.
They look great! I am excited for Joe again.
-
Finally some Joe news! I've missed collecting and can't wait to see what they have in store. I'm not that hard to please, so I don't have any real serious reservations. I'm just glad that some 3.75" Joes are going to be in stores again.

The red head is Ma hunkle's granddaughter, but she wil not be called Red Tornado. That is an all-new Commander Steel at the bottom. No word yet on his identity or origin.

I agree. I would never let the design of the symbol ruin the movie for me if it's good, but it can give us an idea of the headspace that the creators are in. The abritrary changes seem odd to me, and it doesn't look "right." It makes me wonder what else they won't get right. Again, it's too early to tell, but it doesn't inspire confidence.
