(I hope this thread is in the right place)
I declared I?d never start a new thread but I searched and no one?s talking about Hasbro?s new Starting LineUp figures. They?re calling the Action Figures. If these are fully articulated 1/12 scale figures, it?s going to huge. On the plus side we will see great fodder for customs, on the down side the scalpers are going to descend like birds of prey. Either way, exciting news. They?re supposedly coming in June. Last edited by TheSteelBrigade; 07-23-2022 at 11:59 AM.. |

Either way, exciting news. They?re supposedly coming in June. I was actually sorta excited when I saw this, but then I realized there's not a single current athlete I want a figure of. And when I really think about it, I don't even think I want figures of my childhood athlete heroes either. *Deborah F. Downer has now left the room*

Ugh…..dunno why hasbro is doing this line of all things. They should revive inhumanoids or c.o.p.s. or something.

This is exciting news indeed! Loved Starting Lineup and still have all of them. Most are ones I picked up on clearance for a buck so they arent that great but I do have so good pieces. Always wanted Mike Tomczak and Jim McMahon but damn if they come in with some articulated figures.....look out!!!

Exec #1: Let’s revive a proven profitable toy line that appeals to kids and adults while leveraging the most popular athletes past and present! Exec #2: No no no, let’s revive two toy lines that no one recognizes, with no cartoon or show and oh, flopped 35 years ago! |

Hopefully the starting line up figs will be articulated and not just stactions.

I think thatthe inhumanoids toyline would work given its designs and creatures. And if theyre compatible with gi joe, power rangers etc it would likely hang around. Cops maybe not so much given all the anticop stuff. Maybe hasbro gets the rights to spiral One and makes them inline with classified. At least then we could possibly get vehicles. Im still hoping for a gi joe skyhawk.
Hopefully the starting line up figs will be articulated and not just stactions. And yes, if Starting Lineup is articulated, I may have to drop some existing lines to make room. |

As I said in another thread, if this means that Macfarlane will follow, and you know they will make FAR better figures, so be it. I mean, I won't buy them, but hey, more plastic fun for collectors, why not?
And we definitely need Sectaurs to be revived. Last edited by Goldchains; 04-18-2022 at 07:05 PM.. |
