It's a straight pre-order so we don't get charged until next year?

Dragon Man might be a little too niche for my collection, but this is a steal. I saw people in Hasbro's Instagram comments bitching about the price and came here prepared to fight. I'm glad everyone here seems to recognize that this is good value.

Bring on Mangog and some 12" Sentinels.

Oh yeah?? Well this should come with a free Diablo. Not only that but he should only be $25 like a standard Legend. Now let's fight, Hasbro bootlicker!

That appears to be the case - yes.

I almost want to buy one because the price seems like a steal.  Maybe repurpose as a random demon to battle skinny waifu action figures which also typical cost around $85.

Oh, and since these aren't Haslabs, I'm hoping for at least 2 oversized figs per year.

 

Considering this thing isn't due to ship for like 10 more months - that seems... far fetched?   But I guess if it's a runaway hit maybe they fast track the next thing.

It does seem unlikely for this year, but if this is a success I would absolutely be down for two per year. If they all come out roughly equal to this price/value ratio and are all newly made characters or costumes? Hell yeah, break out the list and start cranking through them.

Absolutely stunned by the price. My wife just pre-ordered it for my birthday today!

Hey Hasbro, don't forget Dragon Man's "dad"... maybe a release to coincide with DM's shipping?

THIS is a fantastic idea! Someone put this suggestion in front of the team, please!

At this price I'm thinking Dragon Man will move units, which hopefully bodes well for the future of this model. I would *gladly* pay this much for Awesome Android - or $110 if they want to throw in his papa the Mad Thinker and some additional "Awesome Andy" accessories.

 

 

I did mention to Dwight, Ryan, Dan and Dan at SDCC that Diablo would be an awesome figure to coincide with Dragon Man's release. They all nodded. 

Yay for the Awesome Android/Mad Thinker shout out!

 

Excellent! I hereby commit to regularly posting pictures of Diablo from now until Dragon Man ships in solidarity with this fantastic idea.

I cannot get my order to go through. It keeps scrolling back up to where I enter my CC info but nothing is highlighted to indicate it is wrong. This new Pulse is something else.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with me

Mine ended up being my billing address.  I re-entered my phone number and it worked after that.  Who knows.

That’s a pretty decent price. I was in anyhow, but no regrets now.

I’ll gladly slap down the same amount for Mangog, so hope he’s next down the pipe. I suspect DM might do rather well at this pricepoint.

And hell yes, bring on Diablo. Us F4 fans are feasting right now, so let’s keep the momentum!

Haha. I had two in my cart and talked myself out of it.

I honestly might put a second order in before the window closes. I don't think it will be hard to unload next year if I change my mind, and I don't feel bad in the slightest since these are made to order - if anything I'm helping get one more out into the world.

I'm not saying I would take an oversized Apocalypse and Sentinel, but I'm not saying I wouldn't either.

Product description says its payment once it's ready to ship like everything else.

I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they have another figure already in the works, as they may have been deciding who to go with first. Yes, I'm still a hopeful person.

Dragon Man Lois awesome! And that price is great for how big and complicated this figure is!
