      They already have one advantage over the Mattel Figures...they can stand on their own, and don't come apart while still in the Package.
      FYI, Marvel has already dabbled in the 8" scale, and even has a more articulated 8" figure, with the Unleashed 360 line. They advertised 28 pts. of articulation, but a lot of the joints didn't have a big range of motion. The figure that the line ended on was Iron Man. If they really wanted to wow me, I wish they'd put out a movie Iron Man in this format:



      But they did a bunch of Spider-Man based figures, including the movie, and also Comic Spidey, Black Spidey, Green Goblin, and Doc Ock.



      I did reviews of these too when they were released not two years ago: Movie Green Goblin. and Black-suit Movie Spider-Man. All Hasbro needs to do to have their own 8" line is to revive this line on a generic 8" ML-style body with cloth suits. Or just continue this line.

        Yes...I owned that Spiderman, but didn't like it very much...so I sold it. My hopes are that they copy the Retro Mattel Figures...but come up with a Body that doesn't SUCK.

            Well, after a week or two of playing around with the Ironman figure with some of that Magic Sculpt.... I finally transformed him into a compatible size for Megos. It got buried by a bunch of posts but in case you missed it...

            Here is the link.
