Heinous Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 7 hours ago, youbastards said: DST has done that with all of the Select figure lines at Walgreens. LCS gets more accessories at a higher price point. Walgreens wants a lower price point so fewer accessories. All of the LCS NBX figures came with parts to build scene dioramas, but Walgreens was figures only. I believe TRU got select figures at a lower price point also with fewer accessories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the rare action figure line that can be supported entirely by comic shops. Marvel Select is one of them, and even then there is the occasional variant at the Disney Stores. (Most DS figures are not variants.) Most of our figure lines have been offered at comic shops AND a major chain to reach the minimum order quantity. We've been doing it for over a decade. Major chains like TRU and WG want lower price points and smaller packaging. Comic shops want something the major chains don't have. Universal Monsters had dioramas, Avatar has big effects, Westworld had extra accessories, NBX has dioramas and extra characters, Ghostbusters had dioramas, Castlevania has accessories, nearly all have done this.

rman1115 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Can anyone who made a wolfsbane custom with parts from the New Mutants Wolfsbane say how close the browns are between the new one and that one. I am wondering if you can use the head from New Mutants with the X-factor body or if the matching is very off and it will look off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just looking at the database, they are vastly different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny B Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Yeah, I tried it. Unfortunately, it looks too off to really work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal I just hated the face and hair that came with the new figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Looks like BBTS has the Luke's Toy Store Exclusive up for pre-order, I thought these sold out. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/132240 Luke, do you know what this is all about?
