I don't think there is a SKU for W2. That assorted figures SKU is for both W1 and W2 I believe. I could be wrong though.

I really want to know more about this!
I sure wouldn’t mine showing up at this point! I’ve been hunting for her so I can cancel mine.

Wave 2 preorders in Canada were always listed to start shipping Oct 29. Maybe Walmart here is fulfilling preorders before stocking in store, which kind of makes sense.
I have not received shipping notification on Destro or Roadblock, not sure why Scarlett shipped early. It was all one order. I don't know if wave 1 figures have been released up here or if they will be restocked. I hope so. |

Switching topics for a moment—from Retro to movie—do we believe the Titan Joe figures that will be $9.99 are indeed 4” fully-articulated figures? I just wonder why the drop from $12.99 to $9.99, and hope it’s not 5 POS trash!

I think the Titan figures will be 12" 5 POA shampoo bottle figures.
I think the Movie class figures will be 5 POA 4" figures, like the Wolverine movie figures. That's my theory at least.

Man. Gimme some new, fully articulated figures with minimal accessories, and I will still pay that.

Oh, gotcha. But question still applies to the Core Ninja Figure Assortment @ $9.99. Why not $12.99? Selling more product for less (easier with movie product, perhaps), or is this sadly 5 POS? I see 46 Zone thinks this, but I’m looking for any evidence of either. I’d love to think that Hasbro realizes we’ll pay higher prices for quality 4”/6” after the Retro/Classified line success.

I haven't seen any of the wave 2 figures yet. When searching on brickseek do you use the SKU for destro, roadblock and scarlett or is there a group SKU like the wave 1 group.
GIJ RETRO FIGURES AST MSRP: $12.93 SKU: 429597575 UPC: N.A. View barcode I was wondering if this is the same SKU for all Joe figures, wave 1, 2, etc.? Thanks. |

Avengers Gamerverse 6” Basic figures have ball joint head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. They don’t have as complex a paint job, but generally hit that sweet spot of “good enough”. In many respects, the basic Ms Marvel actually supersedes her more expensive Legends figure in game accuracy and sculpted detail. https://www.entertainmentearth.com/p...-case/hse8677a Power Rangers’ basic line hits a LOT of those same areas, offering “good enough”, which is basically pretty standard articulation with detailed accessories. There is an Amazon 3 pack which as a “basic” Mighty Morphin Red Ranger. Short a holster for his blaster, it hits all I need from a Red Ranger at half the price. But he doesn’t come with the alternate head, or effects pieces, and his articulation isn’t AS numerous. ;tldr “Good enough” isn’t good enough for collectors anymore. Hasbro makes FINE basic action figures, but collectors ignore that because they expect ULTRA articulation and numerous accessories. Also keep in mind “value perception”. The relative manufacturing cost for a 3.75 and 6” “collector quality” figure are pretty close. But with 6” being a larger figure, they can justify a higher price. One of the reasons the Titan “shampoo bottles” works so well is they “upend” that by offering a very large toy for relatively low price. Most consumers don’t factor in things like articulation or painted detail. And by keeping them simple, Hasbro’s built in a pretty healthy margin for themselves and retailers (meaning they make more money per unit than a $10 articulated basic figure)
