It's pretty crazy to think that at one time a movie Doc Oc with arms and a movie Green Goblin with glider and base were able to fit in standard packaging at standard prices.  Where there's a will there's a way!

Without even having them in hand, I’m pretty sure Ock, Gobby, and final swing Spidey will be my top 3 MLs of the year

 

I thought for sure Quantumania Kang would be a top ten figure based upon the promos, but wow, NOPE.  Hard to know what flaws exist in the design or engineering until you get a figure in hand.

@enigmaticclarity fair point 😆 ! I will say that for Kang in particular, even in the promo photos, you could tell the articulation was hindered by the design. I actually like that figure a fair bit for what it is. I did end up modifying mine a bit to give him some more room to move around

I have Kang in the 'come at me bro' pose, akin to the Blessed Virgin, and I'm content with that.

I am happy with Kang. I knew my he would be a traffic cone figure, much like Agatha is. But he looks amazing

'Cept for his tiny head and short arms. And that Hasbro made it difficult to swap the other head onto the body if we dared to prefer unmasked.

The head and the arms look fine to me. As buff as Majors? No, but looking at the figure on its own, he looks just fine to me. I also use masked versions for all my figures, so lack of being able to make an unmasked version doesn't bother me

Yeah, but think of the poor executives that would starve if they charged regular prices for these figures 😥

Don't be ridiculous. The regular employees would have to starve. The executives aren't going to take a pay cut.

Anyone have the amazon link for these? I simply cannot find it, they don't show up anywhere.

Amazon's pre-orders sold out within an hour or two.  That happens regularly even with medium-popularity releases; they never seem to list much of a quantity on pre-orders.

The photos of these from Toyfair are looking pretty good.

Found this interesting that the sculpture also said he turned in a a head-sculpt. Didn’t hasbro say they didn’t have access to that when the 3-pack came out?

he also talked about it on twitter & it definitely gives me the impression he did the alternative head & body at the same time

It doesn't seem that odd to me that they would solicit the unmasked head along with the figure even if they didn't yet have clearance to produce it. There's nothing stopping them from prototyping it.
