Toys "r" Us exclusive: Diamond Emma Frost

[MangleBoP]

Grabbed one the other day, I'd put up pics but I don't have a camera. The head seems to be more in proportion than the regular Emma, but she costs more and doesn't have an Anhillus piece.

You mean this one?

There's also an all silver Wolverine. Is it just me or is this seem a li'l 'cheap' to anyone else? Re-painting a figure, taking the BAF part out, calling it an 'exclusive' & charging more for it...Hasbro* taking the piss me thinks.




*before anyone says it, I know it's not just Hasbro that do this kinda thing.

Yep, that's her. Despite the fact it's a cheap stunt, she's still a damn good figure.

i cant get past her ugly mug....

 

[spideyboy_1111]

ya.... im not sure how people can call that a good figure... now i do like her body.. but the face no... and trust me.. the head isnt more in proportion, thats the clearness playing an optical illusion. Hasbro wouldnt waste money on a new mold

 

[uchiha_itachi]

^ exactly

Meh, so far the ML's have been "meh" but Hasbro makes some awesome Star Wars figures.

Give them time, ToyBiz wasn't perfect when they started out either.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

no ones really saying hasbro is making crappy ML figs exactly. Way i see it is simple... hasbro will be fine, they just need to settle. When hasbro first took over the star wars line after Kenner gave them the rights, the early hasbro starwars figs were garbage.. well at least the episode 2 figures, those were god awful

I got mine on the mail.... the seller have shipped her already. I am anxious to get her.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

.... why?

LOL That's what exclusives are buddy :P

I got one today.....she's a nice addition...better that the other emma....in that now she looks more apporopriate to be fighting hordes of Sentinels....and her tiny head looks better....

Wow! Really?!?

Exclusives don't have to be simple re-paints. Exclusives can be all new figures all on their own. Which is the way it should be done, imo. Granted, the majority of them are re-paints or have slight changes made to the sculpt (new head, ect) but not always.
As I said in my 1st post, just re-painting a figure is a "cheap" way of making a figure an exclusive.

Venom UK? When the hell did you get back? And why Venom and not Jack?

Yeah really, so stop being such a whiney *****.

I got the silver Emma about a week ago, looks fine to me except for the tiny head.

Rumor on Fwoosh that the next TRU exclusive could be Black Queen. Could end up being another repainted Emma, which I wouldn't necessarily mind as long as they give it a new headsculpt.

[Roughneck]

Yeah..I read that too.

Though I bet it will be a She Hulk

 

[uchiha_itachi]

I've been back about a week or so. Got bored of the Hype! so thought I'd give it a li'l break for a bit. Also got bored with my Jack s/n so switched back to this one. Yeah...I get bored easily. lol

Yeah really, so stop being such a whiney *****.

Reeeal mature, dude. Well done. I can see you're worth the time & effort to engage in conversation.
