Are they going to make any more large figures like Sentinel & Galactus? Or are they done?

I believe word from SDCC was that they're on hiatus for now, as they're still trying to find out if/when Fin Fang Foom is going to be released. Galactus and the Sentinel weren't exactly super-hot sellers.

Last thing I heard was that Fin Fang Foom was supposed to be released at SDCC this year.

I wish they'd make Masterworks versions of the movie characters. For instance, the Iron Man 3 line should have a Masterworks movie Iron Man as its high pricepoint item, not any kind of R/C Iron Man. Iron Man makes sense in this scale. Poseability, sounds, and light up features on an 18" Iron Man would make for a rather impressive toy.
Then, the Thor 2 and Cap 2 lines have Masterworks Thor and Cap figures. For Avengers 2, they make a Masterworks Hulk. Imagine having a 18" Masterworks team of Avengers after a few years. |

Galactus was only sold through TRU, LCS, and online. For TRU, Galactus didn't do that grand after the first batch. You only need one Galactus and if you wanted the variant then you probably went online for it.
Sentinel did well for TRU with several shipments sold through. WM, with the higher price and month late arrival, was more of a bomb. The Sentinel numbers were better than Galactus. FFF was originally scheduled for this year and expected to also get a carded version at SDCC. FFF was put on hold as retail wouldn't take both the Helicarrier AND the FFF figure. So SDCC got a Supercarrier and retail got the regular Helicarrier. I'd expect FFF around this time next year.

I'd rather have a comic-based Quinjet.
Let's see...Hot Toys figures at $180+ which you have to be somewhat delicate with or $60 Masterworks which won't break if they shelf dive. I'll take a Masterworks toy over a Hot Toys one any day. I like to play with my toys, not just stare at them with gaga eyes. Yes, they look pretty but just not worth the $ to me. And I have the first mkIII Iron Man they did. And ED-209 who's foam front cracked into pieces, and Hot Toys never responded to my request for any suggestions on replacing it. |
