Does Supreme Intelligence even need articulation?  Isn't it just a giant, floating head?

$75 is the absolute ceiling for a one-off, slightly-oversized character especially when Hasbro gets to keep ALL THE PROFIT. I'm not buying Odin or Hulkbuster until they are on sale - and I'm also completely fine never owning either.

@enigmaticclarity He’s basically a floating Mr Potato head with bendy wires in his head. I guess he would have a few face plates

Pretty much -  although to do it right they would need to include some swappable face plates.     But the execution wouldn't have to be much different than what they did for their D&D Xanathar

This scale would also be absolutely PERFECT for a Marvel vs. Capcom Sentinel.  That character has so many little add-ons that he wouldn't even have to be all that big, but implementing his extending arms or legs, the little Sentinel armies he sent, rocket blasts, etc could easily eat a super-deluxe budget.

This would be my absolutely biggest want. A fully tricked-out MvC Sentinel would be a dream come true.  😍 

I like the way you think!

Lastly, y'all do understand the Hasbro boys monitor this forum right?  Going on about how $100.00 or more seems fair isn't doing anyone any favors other than the greedy Hasbro shareholders/CEO/execs.

I've had that thought as well, but I dunno...if they're using a handful of posts here as their market research then we'd have a lot more underboob and $50 full-size vehicles we could buy.

I'd buy any of the following MCU style:

Lauffey (Frost Giant army builder)

Destroyer 

Abomination (He might just need a deluxe tbh)

Arnim Zola (might be kinda boring lol)

Giant Man

Dormammu head

Eitri

Alioth

Celestial head

Fenrir

Eternity

Modok

Thor, Wakanda, Namor thrones

This would be the best way to get a proper-sized Sasquatch.

I think this would be great for larger characters who are probably too niche for a deluxe retail release. Something like an accurately scaled Titanium Man.

A few years back Dwight had actually talked about potentially doing something like this for Cameron Hodge, which makes sense.

Of course, as always, my dream is Armor.

 

These would be my hopes and Nemesis (Holocaust).  This execution really opens up the door for great figures without relying on base bodies.  Excited to see where it goes.

 

Even though what's really missing is the Engine of Vengeance or an X-Mansion type thing.  Would like some centerpiece.

My thoughts on Marvel HasLabs have been well documented. I've been barking up this tree (basically BAF+) for several years now. As folks here have already highlighted, there's no shortage of possibilities. We knew after the Sentinel, Galactus, and Giant-Man HasLabs, Hasbro would have trouble funding other ideas. Maybe a Punisher van, Fantasticar, and Fin Fang Foom would fund, but I'd be willing to bet two of three would fail. 10-12" figures between $75 and $125 sound perfect.

As the HasLab Sentinel and new Sentinel two-pack have proven, Sentinels print money. There's a 100% chance we get a Sentinel at this scale over the next few years. I couldn't fit the HasLab Sentinel in my house, but I'll buy a smaller one. Outside of that, my biggest wants:

- Armor
- Mangog
- Surtur
- Cameron Hodge

If he’s sculpted and built like the Byrne version, then absolutely.

Although I doubt he would be popular enough, I would love to see a fully articulated Firepower to put up against Iron Man.

Oh and why not throw in the new Iron Man Sentinel design from the end of the Krakoan era.

I could see this strategy also being used for sets.  Inhumans seem to be getting some again and could see them coming up here or Asgardians.  I think we stand to get better figures this way judging from Dragon Man or other HasLabs and I am in the camp who would pay well for the best versions of the characters to be done justice rather than just printed on a blank body.

 

Warriors Three and Heimdall come to mind.  A new Ares, Skurge and Beta Ray Bill should be retail though.

Not necessarily oversize, but maybe this is how we finally get a horse and rider.

Love these kind of deluxe figures like the Hulkbuster Iron Man figure, Detroit Steel, and this new Dragon Man. 

Of course my top wants would be:

Titanium Man

Crimson Dynamo (large modern armor)

Firepower

Whiplash (MCU, final armor)

Dark Aegis

Ultimo

Annihilus (if he needed this kind of higher price point?)
