Hasbro possibly doing Tron?

The 6" Legacy figures have me interested because Garrett Hedlund has been one of my favorite actors for awhile. But - looking at the headsculpts, does anyone else think they all look extremely similar? The eyes are tiny and squinty on all. It looks like one digital model that got pressed and stretched to make the other characters.

Also, who is the character with the black/red suit - is that another Bridges? I honestly can't tell and a quick scan of the cast no one popped out because these all look the same. Bearded Bridges looks like Ego from GOTGv2.

The black hooded Bridges might be great for customs IF the hood is actually removable, which it looks like it might not be and that would be a bad call, and I'll get Garrett but probably sell off everything but the unmasked head.

Hope Olivia Wilde actually looks like Olivia Wilde!
 
From what I saw of the con pics, it's Sam, Flynn Sr., Clu, and Rinzler (
evil Tron
), or that's who I assumed the masked figure was.

I LOVE Legacy, so I'm very unsure about Ares. Despite 30STM being my favorite band until I found Ice Nine Kills, Jared's behavior offscreen (even in relation to the band) has had me less & less excited about liking him, lol.

Also, without a Daft Punk score, why even bother? 😋

Definitely Rinzler.
 
But y'all can see my confusion, right? That all these faces look extremely similar?

Thanks for the clarification. It's interesting that the entire cast, including Olivia and now Leto, have ice blue eyes.
 
Hasbro has a new price on the MTO Sentinels of $220, up from the original $175, for a 25% increase. (I am assuming they will be honoring the $175 preorder price, and have reset it for any excess stock they intend to put up for sale). I point that out as I think it lends credence that this Tron Haslab was probably planned to be a $199 item but needed to go to $260 due to tariffs. ($200 I think would have been a much more agreeable price point of course from an eye-test standpoint).
 
Just did a check while on Pulse. Almost 11 hours later and it is still sitting at 900 backers. Not a single backer added in 11 hours......Yikes.

While I'm sad for the folks that backed this, I'm happy that there's a Haslab that flamed out so spectacularly while MTO is crushing simultaneously that Hasbro is now forced to rethink the model.

I think one of the big problems with Haslabs is that they start at such a high price point that the value proposition becomes an incredibly heated discussion. MTO is expensive, but I think largely has hit much closer to the average cost the audience is willing to pay. And it allows stuff that's definitely too much for store shelves, but still would be awesome in a collection.
 
Crap I thought I had done the daily update today. Anyway here are the numbers from earlier this morning which I posted on another site before forgetting to post here:

Tron:

915 / 10,000 (+15) 9.15% of funding goal with 40d 18h left.

And to further update, the total is now 917 about 6 hours later.
