  1. just noticed this printing error from way back, clearly this is a 7 pack not a 4 pack
  2. that would be an expensive wall at $8-10 per jar
  3. figure noun bodily shape or form especially of a person
  4. Wow this sounds familiar, same points being made on one side same lame excuses being made on the other.
  5. but are you even allowed to do headman? i thought he was outlawed by Hasbro
  6. you can try to justify the price with global pandemic and high shipping costs etc, but when you have another soon to be released set, (that in its self is over priced but lets disregard that fact for now) the FF set that offers 6 figures and one glorified accessory(herbie) plus more actual accessories compared to this 5 pack with one glorified accessory (scott) both of which are new tools, for the same price there really can be no argument.
  7. more like What ever! for $50 5 pretty plain minimates (where is all this so called printing on the sides of legs/torso ? ) and one "accessory" and this is the same price as the FF boxset which has 6 full figures and an equal type accessory(herbie with flight stand is not counted as a figure in that set) and its Disappointing that there is no Watcher, as this was a perfect place to offer him. ill wait until i can get it for <$30
  8. uh its a funko pop so its about 6" tall
  9. when i finally get these i think they will look good next to this guy
  10. https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Arsenal_(Mighty_Morphin_1) reading more" the green one is a villain, until he turns good and becomes white ranger. so we have our first baddie
  11. ok incase anyone else wanted to know i found this" Blade Blaster Standard Blade Blaster Small Sticks that could turn into small swords or ray guns, used as the Ranger's sidearms. Only killed one monster (Weldo), but also destroyed Billy's evil copy in Blue Ranger Gone Bad. In stick mode, the Rangers can use them in the "Tower Formation Attack". In which the Rangers form a standing tower with Trini and Kimberly standing on the shoulders of Jason, Billy, and Zack. The tips of their blasters are pointed together to create a pyramid shaped energy blast that is then fired at the opponent.
  12. but green doesnt get a red gun right? as there are only two, and the smaller red pieces? i guess i need to find some kind of PR wiki and brush up
  13. so i stumbled upon a couple sets of these(cheap) and though i know very little about them i grabbed them. cuz Minimates. so someone clue me in on the accessories. whats with all the red guns? does one go to pinkie and blue guy?and the other red things? i assume the blue spear is made up from the two sais so its one or the other, pinkie has the bow, green gets a dagger in his holster and holds the sword. where does the assembled Bow/sword/daggers/sais thing go? and poor mr Roboto is weaponless? thanks
  14. yeah but is he "visually dynamic"? I guess if hes all stretched out its got to be Moonknight
  15. oops was cutting and pasting between mcu list and database mates guess i mis-posted a few(tm and walker) i guess a few are cartoon versions too, my bad ?
  16. reed richards prof x Eddie Brock / Venom Curt Connors / Lizard J. Jonah Jameson Moon knight Norman Osborn / Green Goblin
  17. no, no when the avengers hex thing was coming out, people(me) were discussing the price increase and you stated that the fancy cardboard packaging added little to the overall price of the set, that why its a bit odd that now ( sure its probably more cardboard for the footlocker than the hex) the packaging can add 25% to the price and not because of inflation as that is already accounted for in the $30 for 4 MM
  18. Where did i say you're "taking advantage of false data to artificially increase prices.? " dont put words in my mouth i simply said you were trying to have the fans/consumers pay more of a price increase than other companies, i have no access to your data, so how would i know if its false or not? okay: "One four-pack of MM uses about as much packaging material as one ML figure. So it's more like 1:4 than 1:10. I couldn't do the math on one MM in packaging, as we haven't done that in a while" i dont believe i said 10x as much packaging i said more, your misconstruing things. but on a 1:1 ratio or a 2pack to two Ml figures its obvious that ML uses way more. -" Yes, ML have 11 parts or so. But they don't have to hand-print detailed linework on 2-3 sides of every part." ok maybe they dont but do MM? really? c'mon "MM have not doubled in price, unless you are comparing a mass-market produced, underpriced WG 2-pack MM from two years ago to a specialty-produced 4-pack MM from six months from now. Then, absolutely." you kind of answered your own question here, yes as a consumer i was paying @$8 for a two pack(@$4 per MM) now its $30 for a 4 pack($7.50 per mate)so roughly a 100% increase in price in 1-2 years "And you can't just dismiss "if they're not profitable" as an "I understand." " i can and did, like any other product i understand that a company not being able to turn a profit may end up canceling that product, would i be happy about that? No but i certainly understand it. "Do you want Minimates?" i think i already answered that but , Yes, do i want to pay way too much for them compared to other products? NO! "And we certainly try to sell to larger stores. Marketing can help get it in front of consumers, but Sales needs to get it in front of retailers. (It's complicated, I know.)" Ooh salty, yes i misspoke/typed i meant Sales not Marketing "License has a lot to do with it, hopefully AEW action figures selling out regularly will lead some retailers to bring Minimates in. BUT hopefully the marketing we did on the license announcement will bring consumers and retailers to the table, the story was picked up pretty widely by sports and toy sites alike. " I hope it does lead to MM ending up in larger outlets of course, i wonder how wrestling fans will view the value of a $30(or more?) 4pack of MM to a $20 6" figure? "I take little joy in refuting posts, but I think it's necessary in order for fans to really understand what's going on." and i appreciate you talking to us, but as you have admitted in our back and forth you seem to "make" a lot of errors in your information.
  19. how was i WRONG about half my statements? figure to figure a ML uses lets say 10x the plastic of a MM packaging wise you cant change it and say $30 worth of MM vs $25 of ML it has to stay figure to figure not 1ML vs 4 MM so two MM in a tiny box vs 2 ML with their giant packaging they use a ton more paint you say the number of apps is comparable ok, but you cant disregard the amount of paint even if its just a bit still its not free so more =more$ because as you said a few cents can "severely impact" the price. i believe the average ML has at least 11 parts by the way so... tooling im sure you can fit alot more "new" parts on a MM one than a ML just based on the scale of the parts, both lines have a lot of reused parts but i still give the nod to ML they always have new heads, and accessories lately MM have been very vanilla mates with paint and maybe one or two accessories. so the whole body is reused every time so another one on the list that i was " right" about but you want to ignore that. hmm just imagine a MM deadpool vs a ML deadpool same colors same(id say ML would have more but whatever) apps its going to be more paint, more plastic more packaging more $ but they have only raised their prices what 25% MM have doubled in price in the last year or 2, so yeah a few cents can raise the price but double come on, and if they are not profitable i can understand, but trying to squeeze the fans for them to turn a profit is crap. if specialty 2 packs were $10 why are they now essentially $17 (6pack $50/3) thats quite the bit of inflation compared to the competition. i also understand how it works when you can sell in higher numbers via a store like WG to have them be a bit cheaper for the consumer, so whose fault is that get out there and sell them to some big store buyers, i see all kinds of crap toys being sold in target, walmart etc surly dst could land one of them if they really wanted to, maybe they need better marketing. FYI McFarlane is absorbing the cost increases, it can be done. i dont know why you bring up unrelated things like the relationship between cost and height, and Marvel select, who was talking about either one of those things? not Me. and no i dont think youre trying to pick a fight but it does seem funny how you always quote me then try to refute my posts
  20. right so $7.50 per MM and $10 for cardboard which i remember you saying didnt add much to the price of the sets, 25% seems like a lot to me, thats ok It's confusing, I know.
