Nope but neither is Jaina Solo and she got a figure. Legends figures arent often but theyre always popular when they show up. -
Walmart Collector Con Official Announcement
daveysockrocker replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
I am not even going to get excited about this, as Walmart and Target consistently fail at preorders and exclusives, they dont protect against bots at all, and it just sounds like a headache waiting to happen. -
All the props to BossFightStudio for doing this line. They are doing the lords work with these figures.
-
that is rough. If i got that I'd be next level annoyed.

Lots Of Godzilla vs Kong Toys From Playmates Revealed
daveysockrocker replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Right? At this rate everything will be walmart exclusives -_- By 2026, all food will be walmart exclusive O_O -
you really think that thousands of ppl across multiple industries throughout the world all just decided to use covid to be lazier? And its not that safe social distancing slows down production, which is a warranted and acceptable reason for empty pegs right now?
-
Its the same thing all over the country. the pandemic is causing slow downs across all avenues of production. Toys, materials, food. Why do you think taco bell is about to cut a quarter of their menu, or shipping on anything is taking longer. But that doesnt change the fact that buyers for big retailers dont want to take the chance of taking up that kind of space, at that price point, for fear they may not sell. They dont look at direct funded ventures like Haslab and assume itll mean sales for them. One thing above all else is they are ridiculously cheap.
-
I cant be mad at Haslab. Beause of its business model were getting that sentinel which is outstanding and would never have worked under normal business practices. Big box stores dont like to carry something that large and that expensive unless its something like a bike or power wheels. Shelf space is at a premium, especially with toysrus gone, so to manage costs the big box stores wouldve demanded a smaller size or lower price point, which couldve ruined it. Also given Haslabs infrequency, I dont think its holding up normal production that much at all.

Sgt. Slaughter Joins Action Force With New 6" Action Figure
daveysockrocker replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Luckily I picked up the WWE Basic Series 69 Sgt Slaughter because his costume is exactly the same as from GI Joe, and have just been hanging onto it for years, in the hope we got 6 inch GI Joes someday. Patience pays off sometimes.- 23 replies

I dont understand the nostalgia for Tokka and Rahzar. When I saw the movie as a kid, all I remember was being annoyed they weren't Bebop and Rocksteady.

NECA's Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. Figure Final Packaging Images
daveysockrocker replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Its a bummer that NECA is stopping making Godzilla figures before we got the Mechagodzilla from this same film. For me, the Millennium Mechagodzilla is a cooler design than the previous two. -
Hasbro Teases A Transforming Back To The Future DeLorean

Another nightmare Walmart presale, luckily this will be easy to get at all retailers by November. -
I like the new Rockn'Roll redesign, but I am bummed there is no Leatherneck listed.

I know some of you are much better experts on this, with looking up UPC codes and retail buying orders, etc, so I was wondering if anyone had an educated opinion on when we might see any Shadows of the Empire figures be released? It was a favorite of mine as a kid, but it seems all but ignored now, despite its relative popularity amongst fans. I know Lucasfilm is busy with everything Mandalorian, which I get, but it seems like there would be some room in one of the multiple waves that come out. I saw a dozen Sidon Ithano warming pegs for months, and I know a Dash Rendar would have sold way better. I just cant see the logic behind it, so wondered if anyone had any reasoning.

If I can only get the black ranger from this box set, then I have have to pick up the Bandai version. Theyre very similar and its still for sale at retail for its regular price.
