I just want to know how. Like when the end comes I demand that Menagerie come forward and explain themselves. Like oh... I was friends with Karen from Accounting and she sent them to me because this is insane. I have even reached out to my connections and they don’t get it.

I think there is a way to do both no? Like Storm in her white costume from the show but she’s a redo of the Black costume one. Jean Grey with an alternative ponytail. Scott with or without a jacket. Morph with extra heads like the toybiz toy...

Are you stealing my social media plan?!? Lol I have been working on a series of what ifs... for Instagram!

This figure gives me such Nostalgia. I remember my uncle drove me around for over an hour to stores in Virginia whilst on vacation trying to track him down and finally succeeding. He was always very happy when I found a toy I was hunting.

Tat is ridiculously king of you to offer.

I was trying to wait until I got them all assembled but then I realized I'm SOL when it comes to Gudio and Jamie. ANyway like those before me I used a Jean head too.

A smarter man than eye. I couldn’t deal with Tandy not having her “tattoo”. Also, wishing I had a Crimson Dawn Tattoo Psylocke but that’s a thread for another day.

I swapped the hair for original Tandy as quickly as possible with a star girl piece and that has made it better but the face...

I’m in full agreement!

Hey Guys: I was looking at this and got inspired. Until they finally relent and give us our 90's line I figured this would be a good place to post customs/recipes etc of the team.

Wonder how the movies cancelation rumors will impact it.

That would be amazing! I also would want crossed legs so we could replicate sitting Indian style for our sorcery friends.

Not sure what you mean but I just took the 616 Enchantress head and slapped a White Tiger black hair piece on an Animated Enchantress. Took the 616 Enchantress body and slapped the Animated Head and Hair piece on it and just kept trucking.

As Threatened. First thing I did when I got my Enchantress animated was turn her into Sersi. https://www.instagram.com/p/BllvXDAh8Cj/?hl=en&taken-by=minimated

Well damn now I need to pay attention to receipts?!?

Also, according to Instagram the line isn’t supposed to be out until next week on the 1st. Whoopsie.

The problem with the giants is that they are giants. Every decision has to be needled to death by a litany of execs and even a good idea in theory can become toxic in execution. I think if they can do the website AND the shipping then they are in a much better spot.

Part of it is seasonality and the other part will be not having enough stock to fill orders. Lest we forget in addition to the the TRU situation we are in the midst of a trade war with countries that impact the supply chain.

Considering the amount of layoffs happening today at Mattel, EA, and Hasbro and this move, it’s definitely going to impact supply.

As expected, Mattel, EA, and Hasbro are doing layoffs today with HR citing TRU as a huge factor. Hope our DST friends aren’t impacted.

You aren’t wrong that the DST website needs an overhaul. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t gotten one. As for Walgreens, they are in a process of transition. They still haven’t gotten complete alignment from when they bought Duane Reade and now just bought RiteAid. Once complete you are talking about one of the largest distribution centers out there with stores in almost every single city in the US and a redesigned website that is still being rolled out. I know it’s not an answer anyone wants to hear but it was their first year and the embargo fiasco really impacted things. They are learning and will get it right. Clearly the experiences that this small group is having is not indicative of all the shoppers since Walgreens keeps coming back and even bought two comic book lines. Yes, it can be a shitty experience outside of urban areas but they are working in the online store. Hopefully Avengers BC won’t be an Alpha Flight. I don’t read the new Avengers series but hopefully someone does. Comic book stores are not the future.Comic book stores are a niche retail environment in an industry that is slowly turning into an IP factory. Comics as a whole lost millions in revenue last year in sales. If you want a retail giant, well Walgreens is one and their biggest threat to closing is an acquisition by another retail giant because even a Target or a Walmart can’t stop their footprint.

It’s out. I have it in hand but it took several stores to get my Sersi.

The only thing that this has going for it is that it is a current story line that will have “dramatic implications” for the MU with versions of name brands. It may be another Alpha Flight swing but I have to give them the credit for trying.

Agreed. I think that it’s easy to dismiss what a cataclysmic impact TRU closing had on the toy industry. Some toy companies even scraping or postponing development because they had to get distribution figured out. In some cases the infrastructure for online stores which was on the 5 year plan has been accelerated to the 6 month plan. All of these things causing shifts in resources and I’m some cases incremental asks that just had to be sold in. It’s not as easy as oh we made them and they are sitting in a warehouse let’s just go to x and they will take them.

It’s actually a canon story in “616” that is happening now. This is the earliest Ican recall a minimate wave happening for a recent story.
