Better Class Of Toyline (Official: Movie Masters Thread)

[S.D. Plissken]

Hahha. I just thought of something awesome--what if these things don't sell and they are forced to dump them at biglots or something like that? I really hope for their sake, that they underproduced these.

I just don't see these selling well. With all of the pain and suffering we all went through last year just to get a few of these--at 12 dollars these were overpriced figures. At 20 plus?--forget it. Just the fact that they didn't double up on these and sell them as 2 packs makes me bitter as hell. It's not happening.

Nearly all of the TDK hype that initally drove this line is LONG GONE. Plus you now have a heavily embittered fanbase who hates you, and your line, and resents the hell out of your brazen attempt to bilk an additonal 20 bucks per figure out of them.

No way, Mattel--you are ****ing dreaming.

 

[Tha OG Crip]

This line is going to die. Painfully.

Mattel is terrified to lose out and be stuck with excess product--and I think these figures plus the Ghostbusters MM are where they are going to feel the hurt.

MOTUC is worth the hassle and 20 dollar price tag--These as well as the new ghostbusters line is not.

Say what you want, but the scale is way too small for a 20 dollar plus shipping price tag.

I'm still saddened that NECA lost out to Mattel on GB. They could have at least done more ghosts.

Who wouldn't want a NECA produced scaleri bros boxed set?

id have to disagree i have my egon from comic con n its very well done. i think the gb line was done way better than tdk line. will buy other gb figures from them...hope they make alot lol

I think they should have gone with the construction worker, myself.

 

[ManInTheNarrows]

Well I just ordered the Egon with slimer ghostbusters figure off of Mattycollector.com last night. They went on sale early because last i checked comic con exclusives were going on sale on August 8th. I guess Mattel couldnt fight the urge to rip people off early. The figure came out to $28.70 after shipping!!! I had 2 ready for purchase but knocked it down to 1 after seeing the price. Its almost as if mattycollector.com is the new Ebay. It sucks!!!! Oh and i didnt receive not a single email notification about the comic con items going on sale early even though i have signed up 3 times on the damn website. Mattel is really on my **** list.

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

I have registred for those notifications with both my email addys and have never received one thing. Mattel sucks people, get it through your heads.

 

[sabetoonth]

after the mms are done im through with mattel unless i need there stuff for fodder

Now that is a joke...

 

[Team Andino]

I think Im just gonna take my chances on Ebay to get this figures at this rate

 

[DJ Fate]

Can someone explain to me why we only got 7 figures and no video game to the biggest comic book movie ever? Isn't it baffling?

Its a combination of 2 things. The WB licensing department and Mattels distribution. Mattel is a very poor toy company, I knew back when they took the license form Hasbro we would be in trouble. Their track record is horrible when it comes to action figures and dolls. I just find it amazing that the reason WB gave the license to Mattel was because hasbro wasnt doing anything "new" with the Batman lines. They were just releasing repaints and the occasional new figure. WB wanted them to continue with new lines, but Hasbro said until they have something to support it, they wouldnt. Enter Mattel. What I find so funny about this is, even with what Hasbro was doing, we were still getting more product than what Mattel has put out with the support of 2 movies and a cartoon series.

As for the video game. Who the hell knows on that one.

you can fit two 12" figures in there....

 

[mikey1974]

after the mms are done im through with mattel unless i need there stuff for fodder

this....

at this point,i'm think i'll TRY to get:

1 X Bank Robbery Joker
2 X Harvey Dent (1 for a custom BW body)
3 X Proto Suit Batman (1 to keep as is,1 head for custom TDK Bats Chase,and 1 head for custom BW)
1 X Jail Cell Joker
1 X Two-Face

and that's it.....knowing the end is near,i can't support it like i want to,not to mention my wanting of at least 1 figure MOC and 1 to open went out the window at $20 plus....only getting extras for customs...

dear God Almighty, PLEASE let the licence expire before the third movie comes out,so someone else can pick up the rights and give us TRUE 6" scale figures from all 3 movies...

Totally agree with you. And that is a good idea for a custom Bruce Wayne figure.
The fact that Egon came out to $28.70 for just one baffles me. Im sure this will be the price point for the MM's. If this is the case i will be getting 2 of each accept for the proto suit bats which like you i will be getting 3 and only 1 or each of scarecrow and Sonar Bats.

2x Bank Robber Joker
2x Harvey Dent
2x Jail Cell Joker
2x Two Face
3x Proto Suit Batman
1x Rehash Scarecrow
1x Rehash Sonar Batman

Unfortunaletly i have to get the crappy scarecrow and batman just to complete the set. Like many of you i do agree that if the line dies it dies. Its sad but Mattel did it to themselves. And like i said before Mattycollector is definitley the new Ebay which really really sucks.

 

[Z(+)DIAC]

Wow, so if we do in fact get the same price point (based off of Egon) as the Ghostbusters line, we're looking at a MINIMUM of $224...that folks is assuming you purchase every figure.

Personally, I'd be more willing to purchase a HT figure before dropping that kind of dough on a few plastic figures.

I hate to be a dick, here everyone....but--

Didn't I say this would be the price? Ghostbusters are considered part of the MM line.

Small scale? no accessories? You really cannot justify the 28+ price tag. With the MOTUC line--you have bigger, better made figures that come with accessories and have first rate sculpts and paint (most of the time with paint--I've definitely seen some ****ups).

$224????

You could buy a HT Two Face on ebay, right now--FOR LESS MONEY--and be done collecting! At least.....TDK collecting, anyway....
