Re: Post your questions for the Hasbro MARVEL Q&A

Why is it that the new Spider-Man 3.75" line figures have so little articulation, and are just overall worse in design and quality, when compared to the Marvel Universe line or Iron Man 2 movie line figures? A lot of them don't have any leg movement. Even the so-called "super articulated" Spider-Man in that line is in fact less articulated than the Spider-Man figures in the Marvel Universe line. I just find it odd that the Spider-Man line is so inferior to previous Marvel 3.75" lines.

Re: Post your questions for the Hasbro MARVEL Q&A

Will there be any Marvel cosmic figures (GOTG, Nova) coming?

I think this is a good question, at a glance. We just would want to make it a bit more politically correct is all

Something like:

Why is it that the new Spider-Man 3.75" line figures has so little articulation, and have been designed in a more simplistic manner than other Marvel action figure lines?

Their different style is very noticable when compared to the Iron Man 2 and Marvel Universe figures.

That's cool with me. I guess it's better than saying "Why do the Spider-Man toys suck, while the Iron Man and Marvel toy rock?"lol

Re: Post your questions for the Hasbro MARVEL Q&A

How come we get the latest figures so late compared to the state. We haven't seen secret wars wave six or gigantic battles not to mention the new iron man waves like hulkbuster

I'm not trying to discourage you or anything but I've been reading Hasbro's Q&A for a while and I already knew what they are going to say:
" The Spiderman line and the Marvel Universe and Ironman2 line are handled by different teams and they each work independently."

They will answer u why it's different. It' just easier to rephrase the question to something like " compared to IM2 and MU, the Spidey line is weaker in the articulation and have a more simpler design. Can the articulation be improved?"
Hope that helps.

Re: Post your questions for the Hasbro MARVEL Q&A

However AFN want's to phrase it when they send it to Hasbro is cool with me.

It just baffles me how Spider-Man(former flagship of Marvel, before Iron Man kicked him in the web-shooter) is getting a line of figures inferior to any other 3.75" line that Hasbro produces. They're almost as bad as the DC figures of the same size. My Rhino is practically a statue, and his "attachable armor" keeps detaching by itself. Most of the sculpts themselves are great, love the details. They're just not pose-able. I love Spider-Man and he deserves better.

Re: Post your questions for the Hasbro MARVEL Q&A

is it possible to resupply canada walmarts (specifically ontario) with the 6" ironman figures (warmachine above all). i am sure most canadians didn't even get a wiff of the first 6" wave. or rerelease the same molds and distribute it according to the demands. how is it that hasbro doesn't know how to properly sell a good mold?

Hasbro sells what the retailer orders. Your frustration should be directed to Walmart to order more toys.
