BST AXN is Loyal Subjects though, so more of an adult collectible, and generally found in electronics. Jakks' figures are definitely purely toys, more akin to something like Spinmaster.

And also those are a 5? intermediate scale, but as Satan says, branded as collectible. There?s already Jakks Sonic and Mario section in the regular toy aisle where I expect these will be when the time comes

Is that a pic of the figures themselves, or just the pegs?

I picked up 2 of the wolves today. For $10, they are pretty great. Definitely worthy of army building so I'm looking to get 3 more.

All the Walmarts around me don't have them.
Truly I have been Walmarted on these. Happy hunting.

I have just seen the monkey ball one in person in Detroit. A whole peg full. All the good stuff was gone but these are indeed showing up in brick and mortar Wal-Mart stores.
EDIT: Another Wal-Mart location had these. I ordered online for pickup. They are an "assortment" so I wound up with a mix of all three figures in this wave (stupid monkey!). I opened the werewolf. First thoughts: the head is rubbery. You can squish the mouth closed...that level of rubbery. It's ok, just surprised at it. The head mounts on a barbell like BFS and recent Star Wars figures. I haven't taken it apart further than that. The mid torso cut doesn't do much more than just twist. The figure has butterfly shoulders which seem to work pretty well. All joints were smooth out of the package except for the shoulder up/down movement (raising arms to a t-pose). That had to be broken in, but not by much. The parts are not all the same tone of brown which is unfortunate. It looks kind of like he's wearing fur shorts and a shawl as a result. I wish the hands were open or swappable with some spare "open" hands. The closed fists are less useful for a werewolf. The "spirit ball" has a mounting hole on the bottom but there isn't anything to mount it on. I don't know anything at all about the source material so I don't know if closed fists are actually the most rational choice and I don't know what the spirit ball would mount to (a clear stand, I presume?). I kind of feel like this werewolf needs a tail. The pointy fur off the back of the elbows is too long as is the clump on the back of the calves. I might trim all of that down. The sculpt could be better in a few ways but this is still definitely a figure worth having. And, at $10 retail, it shows you what's possible with pricing/articulation even with licensing fees involved (though I don't imagine this license was terribly expensive?). This will make a very passable beast to thrash some Joes. I hope to see more from this line.

i had axel and the werewolf in my hand yesterday at walmart. axel was way too big. they didnt have any fortnite figures to compare them to (weird) but he was gigantic next to ahsoka.
i didnt get either, but i did keep talking myself in and out of the werewolf. i couldnt think of any use for it which is why. |

Yeah, he’s closer to a 5 inch or short 6 inch scale. Big bummer
