In US and Canada.


This is a major shift.

That is great. I hope Hasbro heard that news and remembers that they're not the only game in town and we consumers know it.

In terms of individual units or gross revenue? Regardless if I was Hasbro they need to recognize they are running out of Marvel characters and prices are getting extreme. I prefer the six inch scale and articulation of Hasbro but the Mcfarlane figures are works of art.

Individual units.

I would assume the gross revenue for Hasbro may be higher, given their pricepoint is essentially $10-15 more at this point.

Also doesn’t hurt that Todd’s product is easier to find at retail

Cool, looks like Todd accomplished his mission.
He said he wanted to see if he could beat the big companies at their own game.

Well, a lot of Walmart's seemed to have stopped stocking Marvel Legends, so something up with Hasbro distribution.

And Import Dragon is no longer the distributer for McFarlane at least not to TRU. McFarlane products now come on their regular trucks and not delivered by Import Dragon. Slower but they’re still getting stock.

Are you sure? Import Dragon just 4 days ago posted one of their contests for some McFarlane figures.

Buddy at TRU told me it’s been a while since any McF figures arrived thru Import Dragon and the figs are now arriving only in McF cases not import Dragon cases like when the line was launched. However
with toy distribution in Canada I’ve learned to never say never. Hopefully they are still involved since their distribution was excellent
