I hoping for an accurate mold this time, they've released the Mark 2 like five times. Yeah, I'm up for new armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Anyone seeing these at TRU yet? I need two of the Rocket/Groot pack (and to pick up Hulk/Spidey). I'm gonna check after work at Menagerie's store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I have been regularly updating WG via our sales team when I get reports like this. I do not know what else we or they can do, unfortunately. Hopefully it sorts out. Sorry, all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 This is no reflection on the figures, as I think they all look like they've been faithfully interpreted based on the source material... but is anyone a bit disappointed that we're getting a sleeveless, helmetless 'Spring Break' Thanos in Infinity War, rather than the fully armoured version that was originally teased?

I have a feeling he'll put on that armor at some point if only because he'll find out he needs to take the Avengers seriously. So Avengers 4 wave maybe?

So Avengers 4 wave maybe? I actually just found an explanation for the lack of armour in this film: Spoiler “[Thanos] has a more casual approach in this film, and it’s very philosophical for him. It’s part of his character definition. It’s a spiritual journey for him to collect the Stones and one with which he doesn’t need armor. Once he starts acquiring the Stones, he doesn’t need armor in the same way he did when he was a warlord. It’s a very symbolic costume.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point still stands Vision Quest or no Vision Quest, Thanos isn’t stupid. If he feels like he needs to armor up for a fight, he’s gonna do it.

RedTiger95 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Looking at the package shot of the boxset, anybody think Black Widows face looks off? It looks generic compared to past figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were going to replace the head, I would replace it with either the Black Widow head from the AoU line Or the one from TWS line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The stores I went to that had these prior to the absolutely necessary street date still have never put them back out. They might have tried to return them, they all tried to tell me they were being recalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Finally found a set this morning, at a store willing to sell them! Thanks for your efforts Zach, I know it wasn't DST's fault. Edited March 7, 2018 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was told by one Walgreens manager that the set that particular store got was shipped back because they were recalled.

It's the licensees responsibility to communicate embargo dates to retailers. Many manufacturers cover their own butts by printing that date directly onto the cartons. That way employees at the store level know when to stock certain items. It's possible DST told Walgreens corporate about the date and that wasn't passed down the line to stores. Either way I believe there's shared responsibility in this hiccup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
