Sideshow usually invests $50 000 into Prototype pre production, I assume Hasbro numbers are the same based on deco design scale etc
the feasibility for this project would have to net them $2 million.
so far 3 HasLabs have not funded (two Star Wars one Marvel).
it looks good for this so far today may end with 75% backers, next two days could easily push the last 25%
im really surprised the Hell Charger didn’t move past 50% though.
this may have backed sooner with an early adopter tier bonus. Would’ve been bonkers if 1st Appearance Wasp was the incentive.
Do you think it'll eventually show up somewhere? I just have a feeling that it will one day
Whatever you think it cost them to get it to this point, it likely cost a hell of a lot more. Meetings take time. They were meeting internally to discuss strategy, then with Marvel, marketing, design, etc., etc. These are all salaried people who could be working on something else.
Plus the prototype, marketing materials, advertising, and so on and so forth.
Yup, if they track their hours by project, and they treat the HasLab as a separate project, I am sure the team spends a lot more from an accounting sense then we think they do to get one of these going. And just as importantly, when a HasLab fails, they have little to show for it - and a valid question might be along the lines of "what if we had the team design two waves with that time" as the time they spent ultimately was not productive, or worse "why did you guys think this would sell, don't you know your market?"
I suspect the Legends team has a decent amount of goodwill built up given the huge success the first two HasLabs had, but I think they need this to succeed or else there might be a slight hit to the perception of the brand within Hasbro. Not a "the line is failing" panic, but I have to guess the line is not as strong as it was a few years ago.

retailer shelfs? No
a comic con / convention exclusive ? Maybe
damn I really wanted that Goblin Queen and Mephisto figures
Snyder Bros gonna Snyder Bro.
OK, who are the Snyder Bros? I googled this, came up with nothing.
A subset of incel that thinks anything not hostile to Marvel is a conspiracy to destroy the Snyder DC Universe, turn frogs gay or is paid promotion by Disney.
... and in a less joking manner apparently; eastern European bots purchased by Snyder himself.
And just as importantly, when a HasLab fails, they have little to show for it -
A question that always made me ask. So if a Haslab falls say 300 units short ... how are they better off not just producing it and making a little less than their projected minimum profit and recouping that investment. Surely the minimum backing number isn't the break even mark.

Well that first sentence hurt my brain trying to make sense of and I could not, for the life of me, figure out how it connects to a Hasbro Giant Man figure, so I'm glad that was (apparently) sarcasm.
The second sentence hurt my brain significantly less but I still don't get the Giant Man connection.
When the conversation gets this off-the-wall, you know it's time for a Haslab campaign to end.
I thought the reference to Snyder Bros was the mindset of some Zack Snyder fans that anything that isn’t what they want should fail in order to somehow prove that it would have been successful if they had just done it their way. I don’t know how we got to gay Disney frogs. But if it originated from Twitter, I’m not surprised. At all.

I don't understand that either. I get why the EoV and Reva's Lightsaber and Cookie Monster didn't go ahead as they all fell well short, but the Rancor will always befuddle me that they basically gave up on 8500 sales because they wanted 9000, I guess.
Unpacking my Legends figures. The best 3.75 universe figure was Wasp. It fits pretty nicely in the 3.75 and Legends 6” line
all the homophobes could measure their small dicks with it.
The number of backers per hour isn't close to where it needs to be, nor is the rate of increase over the past week. Every day for the last several days is below Geek.Dad.Life's projected graph for where we would need to be for each day. From here on out we'd need exponential growth greater than that the Sentinel or Galactus had.
It ain't looking good. At the current rate of increase in backers we'll be short by a thousand or two.
I have an extra copy of Spider-Man 2 for PS5
if this funds and someone purchased 5 Giant Mans I’ll send you the code to play
you have to had preordered 5, and this to have reached its funding goal
you have my sincere admiration
- Lol, I think it'll make it from the standpoint of the retailers ordering at least 1k-2k...should be fine
@yojoebro82 Just saying there are plenty keyboard warriors that like to attack Marvel (and Hasbro by proxy) no matter what. I will speak less in metaphor.
