DSTZach Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The investment-to-production-cost ratio on a figure is much different than on a vehicle. We've actually prototyped -- not just designed, PROTOTYPED! -- MULTIPLE vehicles, and not pulled the trigger on them, because tooling a vehicle from the ground up is expensive. Tooling a hair piece, torso cover and a sword costs much less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Wiseau Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Stopped by my TRU again today, and they had a whole peg full of them. I managed to get the helmet off of Thanos after a little bit of wiggling. He's definitely cool, but something about his face bugs me. Maybe if I can find an Infinity Gauntlet set for a decent price, I'll try putting that head on him. I'll probably custom make him a gauntlet, too. For as much as I don't care about him, Thane's pretty cool. The tampo work on him is really slick, and I like the clawed left hand. As neat as the Hulk and Cap are, they'll probably get broken down for parts. I just don't need more of them. If the effort that went into these goes into the new Iron Man armor and Ronan (and by extension TRU 19), I'll be one happy camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molybdenum Man Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 There were 10-12 in the Watchung, NJ store. They look OK, did not want to spend $15 yet though - maybe it will grow on me. I like the armored Hulk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no plan to make any of them, that I know of, and for most of them I can't imagine that will change. Although I think one of them was Armored Hulk, oddly enough. I think we did both looks back when we planned the first Marvel now assortment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glantern Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I sincerely doubt that 90s X-Factor would be on a list of "figures never getting made." I personally don't think they're quite as pivotal as some people do, but for god's sake, we got a mostly complete X-Force line-up. If we can get that, I can't imagine they'd flat out say no to X-Factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnim zola Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Probably along the lines of the remaining P5, the hammer powered mighty, stuff like that. Man remember that SDCC when we got the thunderbolts and 2 dark avengers sets and those were just marvel exclusives. I wish more sdcc's/cons had multiple classic marvel sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 And Friga. There's virtually no chance we'll ever get her now. At least Fandral and Hogun still have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
