I’m not a very optimistic person. Sure, I’d love it if Hasbro keeps producing new super-articulated 3.75” figures for many years to come, but I don’t have high hopes. The rumblings of 25 figures next year (including repacks!) is not reassuring. So, if we assume that things are in the process of winding down, what figures do we need to see before the end?
With SDCC set to start in a few days, we will once again get our hopes up, and see if maybe this is the year Hasbro decides to start nailing these. But it won’t be. Prove me wrong, Hasbro. Prove me wrong.
Last week I said that these three packs write themselves. This one is so obvious that I’m tempted to just post the pic and skip the write up.
Yesterday we started pitching multi-pack product ideas and we continue today with what we feel is an absolute no-brainer.
We’ve recently called for more multi-packs in the super articulated line. Complaining without a proposed solution is whining. We’re not whiners. So today we’re going to provide an unsolicited solution.
We know that super articulated 3.75” line unfortunately won’t be returning to it’s 2009 heyday of 60 figures. This could do as much damage to the health of the line as the utterly unnecessary repacks and poor distribution.
A well-placed source has posted information on the delayed wave 2 which is set to appear in stores next month. In short, meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Now that we’ve completed our galleries of wave one of The Vintage Collection re-launch, it’s time to start the cleanup, and it immediately brought on a wave of nostalgia.
