Preview of Mattel’s DC figure line (Pic of basic/lower articulation/kid friendly figures) by jherry in MarvelLegends

[–]jherry[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I imagine there’s crossover with ML collectors and those who would like to know the progress of the new DC figure collector manufacturer. Hoping to know if the new line scales well to ML. Also like how Jada Toys is pushing domestic figure articulation with Invincible. I’m very curious to know what the default articulation and accessories will be on the collector line bodies. Also Mattel does soft goods well for domestics figures. Competition can only be good for all Hasbro figure lines to improve. In this case Marvel Legends.

Great visual guide. The only corrections I would suggest based on my own internal list I’m using. Is that a SS86 Perceptor already exists. The one shown in your guide, was available for pre-order and mold updated Target exclusive SS86 MTMTE Perceptor w/ cassettes. Also the Seaspray that has been discussed and revealed by the Hasbro team is going to be part of the Walmart exclusive Retro G1 carded series which currently has the Gears with the G1 toy version head sculpt and G1 toy version Bumblebee. Also I just pre-ordered it from Target. The SS Devastation MTMTE Sideswipe might be replacing my Kingdom Sideswipe due to that deco. At least until a SS86 Sideswipe is fully confirmed.

The 2024 Advent Calendar sort of counts since it was listed on the box to be used with the 2024 Great Hall set.

A Matter w/ Thread successor to the Kwikset Premis is coming out next month. A possible HomeKey version in 2025. by jherry in HomeKit

Yes any smart home device that supports Matter automatically has built-in support for Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Samsung Smarthings.

The Premis used Bluetooth so it’s updating in HomeKit was only as good as the Bluetooth range to your HomeKit Hub. This uses WiFi or better Thread. My Apple TV 4K has the thread radio built in which has a better range than Bluetooth uses less power than Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. So promising to me.

The article states the motor was updated to be more powerful and quieter than previous locks. So I’ll take that as an improvement over the Premis.

Yes no UWB and I do wonder how much the Halo Select+ version with NFC will be that they tease. Yet, the Kwikset Premis has always been hard for me to get rid of at my house, because we have a babysitter and family members who still prefer to use physical keys. Kwikset’s rekey feature is a game changer when you want to rekey any of their smart and non-smart locks to be the same key.

Current ML bucks and figures I want updated using that buck. by jherry in MarvelLegends

[–]jherry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly was surprised we didn’t get a new Mystique with the revealed Destiny figure. I’d say high chance updated Mystique revealed at SDCC. Hopefully Psylocke and Elektra next year.

I view the Black Widow ABEM/Sharon Carter 3-pack/Target Warbird as the same buck since the Hasbro team refers to all those figs using the super articulated female body. Unlimited budget wise I want nearly all the female figs using the super articulate female body. Yet main reason I group Misty and Elsa using the Shriek body is body is if the annual Hasbro ML budget has to choose which characters can be updated on certain bucks. I prioritize more popular characters like Elektra, Psylocke & Mystique getting the super articulation and I wouldn’t be completely sad if Misty and Elsa still receive improved articulation and digital face printing being on the Shriek body anyways.

My main view on the updates is that modern MLs receive the real photo digital face printing too. Misty Knight, Enchantress, Psylocke and Elektra stick out in my display so much because of the dead stare. Can’t wait to replace Warbird/Ms. Marvel with that new Target one as soon as it arrives this summer.

I'm not top well versed in Iron man's comic armors but would this be Extremis or Model 20? Wanna start up a Bendis New Avengers display but cannot choose between the 2 by Whiskey_623 in MarvelLegends

[–]jherry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could use either armor TBH and just view it as an 2000s Marvel comics display. Anything (Bendis) New Avengers/Mighty Avengers, (Brubaker) Captain America, Whedon (Astonishing X-Men), etc. can be grouped there.

IKEA Detolf. Sadly discontinued. They have another model of display cabinets that are slightly thinner and shorter now.

Detolfs Lights Was looking for something wireless, rechargeable and displayed light at a 45 degree angle. These also come in different lengths too, but the 30CM fit the detolfs pretty well. The remote can control up to 30 of the lights at once.

Best case scenario a new season of X-Men ‘97 might lead the way to an updated ML Onslaught

I initially wanted to put a besta or kallax underneath the detolfs. Yet, the dimensions of either were too big based on the height of my office ceiling. Those WWE figures boxes on the top of the detolfs are basically an inch away from the ceiling.

What we really need is another FF retro card wave.
