DSTZach Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) 1. It has five dedicated skus. There was exactly one new character in Defenders that was not in the preceding shows. And previous sets have not been the strongest performers. 2. This is just first 24 hours, not overall viewership. 3. NONE of the other Marvel shows are on here, which seems to indicate that they consider DD, JJ, LC, IF as seasons of the Defenders, at least if it allows them to hype four other Netflix shows on this list. So that means ONE of those six seasons ranked this high, and the others fell somewhere below that. 4. I tend to trust the Variety story posted perviously by PL, which shows Defenders was the LEAST watched show of the six in the first 30 days, not sure about the first 24 hours. http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/netflix-marvel-the-defenders-least-viewed-series-debut-1202564402/ Edited October 18, 2017 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 6 hours ago, MisterPL said: Netflix considers them all one show, based on the list you shared. We have made all four Defenders, some of them twice, in multiple box sets. We probably made more Defenders cast members than most movie assortments. While there were characters in Defenders that did not get figures in the other five sets (the Fingers) they are not any more toyetic than they were the first time around. Even if we had opted NOT to simply make a set with the four Defenders, who all look more or less the same, we wouldn't have made five evil civilians and an updated Elektra.

I'm not surprised there hasn't been an announcement of this anyway since Netflix can't seem to tell us when they're dropping it. I wonder if it'll just appear one day and be a total surprise.

Heinous Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It was supposed to drop two weekends ago, but they delayed it bc of that Vegas shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I just finished the first season of The Punisher and now I need a Minimates fix: Punisher Billy Micro Madani Battle-damaged Frank Rawlins Isaac Lewis 4-pack of Anvil Mercs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) I'm guessing that poor sell through of the Punisher War Zone boxset (Chuck has numbers to reference) coupled with the Luke Cage and Iron Fist boxsets underperforming, means Netflix boxsets are done.

MisterPL Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Did TRU carry Luke Cage or Iron Fist box sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Nope. Not that I saw. Granted, my TRU did not carry either of the first two. The one by my grandmother had/has tons of JJ, but only 3 stores in the region got Daredevil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Yeah. Mine only got DD, not JJ. If sales were down on LC and IF then TRU didn't H-E-L-P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I would be curious how boxset sales are in general. The boxset surcharge is making me hesitate even on stuff I'm very interested in. And, yes, this wouldn't apply at TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I wonder if Walgreens would be interested in Netflix sets. They seem to be enjoying some success with Marvel Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be enjoying some success with Marvel Minimates. I don't know. Is there anyone left from the shows that is desirable enough to warrant an exclusive? I'd like to see the line fleshed out more but I don't know that it has enough legs to go to an exclusive model. If it had been a shared line from the beginning, like the Thor sets, then absolutely. But this far along I don't know that the interest would be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FightTheDead118 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 So DST is making a Punisher statue specifically based on the standalone show, could this mean we have a chance of getting a box set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) I don't think it's likely. If the other Netflix sets weren't as successful as DST would have liked, I doubt they'd try again for a show whose main character has already been released at a lower price point.
