Hey what the fuck

Hey what the fuck??

It looks like Darth Maul

they made sure to use lead paint too right

solo a star wars story spoilers from toy fair

here is a non-spoilery 3.75″ lando with some guy who probably doesn’t matter but looks neat

meanwhile several of the other toys shown (probably) give away plot details, so here they are behind a cut

[ cut removed bc it’s out now ]

okay so first off here is a 2 pack of hank and chewie in chains covered in mud, is this han freeing chewie and earning that old wookie life debt, probably yeah

and here is the ‘kessel run’ falcon, which a, guess who’s gonna make the kessel run in under 12 parsecs in this film, that’s right, lando

and then b, notice all the blast off panels with crappy regular old falcon underneath, as well as the (maybe even supposed to be detachable) extra bit between the nose forks

does this mean the falcon is brand new when it first appears and then it gets just fucking trashed over the course of the movie as the shiny hull plating is slowly blasted away, never to be replaced, such that when the falcon appears in a new hope everyone who knows anything about the yt-1300 freighter or just spaceships generally turns to han and says ‘hey, you know it’s not supposed to look like that, right?’

or, more delightfully, was the falcon already vintage garbage at the time of the kessel run, and all that shiny plating is just paint and gloss to fake their way into some kind of scam, such as entering the ‘kessel run’ as a respectable racing pilot, oops it was an illegally modified piece of shit bc hank, lando, dany, other characters they’re not promoting as heavily, and haymitch are all fucking liars

the movie managed to actually best my predictions. fifteen mimutes after meeting, han and chewie are sharing a shower to wash all that mud off, and the falcon looks like that in SOLO vs the way it looks for the next thirty years bc lando likes nice things.

(the dude with the keys is more of a character than i expected but idk what his name is bc he's not important. who is important but hasnt had any toys released yet is L3, and all of qiras toys are based on her one scene from the prologue, except one lego mini figure that comes with the at hauler.)

j'onn j'onnz and the new multiverse packaging. i prefer the old box but i hope they do ml style and color code each wave. #supergirl #martianmanhunter #dcmultiverse

having now opened the box, it is not an improvement in any way. it's heavier, harder to open without destroying it, needlessly complex with the indent, and tbh just badly engineered as well

anyways j'onn looks great but his cape doesn't peg on well and dc multiverse articulation continues to be crap compared to marvel legends, despite costing the same and being made by a bigger company, who puts more useful articulation into their wwe figures, which cost half as much! you can even get the **elite** wwe figures at this price point ($20) that have more articulation again (tho they lack the baf parts).

also there have been two companies making cw arrowverse figures for like five years and we've still only gotten, like, four s1? arrow figures (ollie, felicity, black canary, thea's boyfriend) and an ollie / flash 2pack from dc direct, then individually in different waves from mattel's multiverse line, supergirl, i think an arriw probably, flash, reverse flash, zoom, fake jay garrick, hawkMAN (not even kendra! who was the interesting one), and then just now the atom and j'onn. and maybe a firestorm? or that might have been the funko pop i'm thinking of. and mattel is literally like two years behind on the flash villains. and not even a malcolm merlyn or damien darkh to be seen. FOR SHAME.

(tho to be fair, marvel's tv figures so far amt to the one wave of netflix legends with matt, elektra, punisher, and jessica jones rounded out with comic versions of blade and bullseye, and then NOTHING EVER from agents of shield unless you got the coulson from the avengers at tru. and if you are an x-mutant, good luck, no 6" x-movie toys since x3 and that wasn't a full line either. they haven't even done a deadpool movie line! and deff no legion, gifted, or (thankfully tbh) inhumans.).

my nerd friends are giving hasbro a pass but i dont understand why bc they’ve been pulling this shit for decades, disney just gave them someone else to blame for telling them to do something they wanted to do anyways.

heimdall - thor deluxe figures - hasbro marvel studios at toy fair - MarvelousNews.com

and here’s the sweet ass idris elba action figure, with some kind of lightning cannon.  awesome.

summer of 2011 release, i never saw the damn thing at retail, they never reissued this figure in later 3.75" lines, they have never made a 6" version of heimdall. for ragnarok there was a 2 pack of thor and valkyrie that comes with the bifrost sword, that is the closest to a 6" heimdall we've gotten so far.

hey. hey, fn-2187. hey, it’s me, kylo ren. remember me? kylo ren? anyways that’s a nice bike. it’d be a shame if someone were to cut it in half with a lightsaber and try to kill you. anyways, good talk. #emokyloren #finn #jacketenvy #theforceawakens #blackseries #heromashers #gargoyles

two years ago i thought, hey the hero mashers anakin swoop bike would look better with finn. and then i wanted something for kylo to represent his toxic masculinity and i remembered the gargoyles "night striker". meanwhile two years later hasbro finally made a 6" scale rey bike so i should redo this shot.
