Jada Toys Scooby Doo

If we are going to start cancelling the monsters and ghouls, I'm out. They are just as part of the show as the gang to me.

Like just mentioned, they're slow enough. That is aggravating in its own. If they are going to start showing us shit, then ripping it away, no thanks. I can take my coin elsewhere.

I’m with you. I love the gang as much as the next guy, but the monsters are just so much cooler to me.

I don’t think they’ve been canned, it’s totally possible Scooby and wave 3 are just further along, but I’m very concerned. Hopefully Toy Fair has some answers…

I’ve also seen a few people online say that wave 2 is going up for order in March? But it appears to be hearsay, so I’m not so sure.

Don't get me started on Darkstalkers.

The chronically screwed over property.

It's amazing to me that Street Fighter stays the focus and has such popularity, and yet...

People love monsters. People love horror. People love fighting games and Street Fighter. This is literally Capcom's Street Fighter fused with Universal Monsters, and yet...no one can figure out how to popularize it. No toylines ever come out or succeed. When was the last game?

This just feels like it should be so damn simple!
 
I've been waiting most of my life to get well made, articulated Scooby Doo figures. So I don't think there's anything Jada could do to get me to drop the line. That said, I'd very much like to be able to surround the gang with a wide variety of monsters & ghosts! I'm just glad it was Jada who finally went in on this line & not somebody like Super 7...

A new game for Darkstalkers is basically an impossibility given both how wimpy Capcom is (and their refusal to release anything that isn't AAA) and the current state of fighting games, which would have SF6 be in direct competition with any possible Darkstalkers games. I'd be cool with an action game spin-off or something, though.

But god, I just want some toys. We've consistently had statues pumped out for years at varying price points. Just give me toys. The Storm stuff looks stellar every single time we see it, hopefully they get released soon... maybe they'll be side by side with Chun-Li? Assuming they're just taking their time to figure out female figures in this line.

Obvs I want Felicia.and BB, but Anakaris with a coffin is probably the most toyetic thing anyone has never done.

At the toy show yesterday, a common banter with vendors who had Jada product for sale was how excruciatingly slow they are. And at least at the Enthusiast Level of toy show attendees, it really felt like the tide had turned on them and Storm is the new hotness.

Which is funny, because a year or so ago Jada was the golden child and Storm was out.

As someone who collected earlier storm collectibles lines, I generally trust Jada a bit more than Storm over time to be consistent. Like storm arena seems to be dropping at a breakneck pace right now, but I remember when Storm Collectibles started up and the first six dropped really fast ar $50 each too.

I wouldn't even give them breakneck pace. It's all recolors. If I just get Alpha Chun I'll be happy.

I collected them too, so I share your concerns.
