Haslab Giant Man's UNREAL Last Day

[@CowleyStudentJ]

Hasbro should do a poll and let fans decide between 5-10 items on which one they would want for a Haslab. It would be interesting to see which items they would bring up for a poll.

That would require intelligence, common sense, and concern for the consumer - all of which Hasbro lacks.

[@smyers9052]

Something that John said on a livestream months ago really stood out to me. He was talking about the Dragonfly, and he noted that he wouldn't back it if it went BEYOND a certain number, as this would effectively nerf its resale value due to there simply being too many units floating around on the secondary market. I think that the reasonable price, the fact that it is, after all, a classic Marvel character, and the fact that the overall unit count is low really drove a ton of resellers to jump in at the last minute. EDIT -- YOU SAID IT, LOL

While I don't think crowdfunding is necessary for 99% of toys, I'm still glad for those who supported giant man. I don't personally see the value but it's nice for those who do. I've never been particularly interested in traditional super-hero figures.

Honestly I'm impressed. Not a fan of crowdfunding by big companies, myself, but I'm glad to see people getting something they clearly want. 🙂 I was expecting it to either just miss the goal or just scrape by, so somewhere in the 9,980-10,020 range, so I'm quite surprised by the outcome.

$199.99 is NOT a very reasonable price for this 24" action figure. $100 or less would have been reasonable at retail.

[@brettwood1351]

It would not have been 100$ or less at retail today. A Titan Class Transformer is roughly the same size, and they go for 200$ now. I'm not going to go through and figure out things like parts count and paint apps that also affect the price. Oh and the Disney Tax, I'm sure the mouse wants their cut. 15 years ago, maybe you'd get this for under 100$, but not with the way the toy industry is now.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

@@brettwood1351 $100 or less is reasonable. Consider the amount of parts re-use for dozens of other giant sized characters. Consider the economies of scale. This HasLab is producing less than 14,000 units. At retail they could produce over 100,000 units. Per unit costs always drop with larger quantities. Consider the differences between Transformers and human form figures. Transformers are also over priced, but they are also more complicated with more parts and engineering to stand the stresses of transformation. Fans, collectors, and customers should all be very dissatisfied with the pricing and distribution model Hasbro has chosen for this product.

Excellent deep dive. I think it was a combination of too many crowdfunds and lack of interest in the character. Maybe they should try a different method with ones that don't have enticing tiers like increase the cost but lower the moq and then lower the cost and increase the moq as they hit tiers. Also they could throw in a few normal tiers of add-ons as well. Either way I happy that people who wanted this were able to get it, it looks like an awesome figure.

This video takes you channel to a whole other level. It would nice for Hasbro to throw in the stuff for the 14000 tier but they won't. It was only short by like just a little over 100. Oh well.

[@kamotecustoms]

Hasbro backed it themselves. Even with 8k backers they would still make a profit. Those who haven't backed it saw that it was funded, they jumped the bandwagon. Well played Hasbro, well played.

[@juansanchez209]

You have zero evidence to support this conspiracy theory. You and the other clowns need to stop parroting this as if it were a fact

[@bandoogiemanz]

I'm inclined to agree. You don't turn down 1.5mil because you have to eat 400k. The crazy thing is, if they did cook the books, they don't even eat any costs. They know how many legit backers there were. So, let's say there was 8k legit backers and they cooked the last 3k to get it to fund, and then fomo took over and pushed it from 11k to 13,989. All they have to do is produce the 13,989-2k they cooked. In effect, they don't spend any extra money. They only have to produce the zombie faceplate for an extra 111 people and there's no extra expense for that as they've already admitted from early on, that the cost of the extra tiers are baked into the base price.

[@carterhalo255]

I think they doctored it.

[@dbeane43]

I also track the numbers on these Crowdfunds. And my projection wasn't far off from Brian's. Just based on where the backer count was at the beginning of the final week, its average daily backer count, and the ratio of first day/last day backers in previous Haslabs, GM stood a chance of funding. But GM got almost double the amount of first day backers in that last day. That's not something any model could have predicted. ... Or maybe it could... I think if it had funded earlier in the campaign you'd have seen that last day spike spread out over several days. There's always that group that want the item but won't back it until it's funded. I don't know why but its a thing. So once the last minute backers brought it over 10k then you had the "wait till it funds" folks all jump in. And of course all the other stuff you mentioned. Just my take on it.

[@RobbieRocketship]

Dear Hasbro, I don’t really collect non-MCU Avengers, but I would probably buy a giant Paul Rudd.

[@jeffwhite2280]

Paul Rudd Ant Man is a staple in my display.

[@DesignIncase]

I think had the backer count hit say 8000 within those first 10 days, we would have seen this huge increase back then. Once it seems like a sure thing, people jump on. Base Giant Man might be an outlier just because it's Giant Man. The people backing Galactus or Sentinel aren't all the same people who have that much interest in a Giant Man. He may be an OG Avenger but OG is 60 years ago. Younger fans might be more into the New Avengers roster. Tiers I have never been fond of the Tiers being the incentive to actually fund the base. But attractive tiers do offer an incentive. Especially if they are mysterious. I do think Giant Man should have came with a 6 inch Giant Man with a growing background stand. Back Early / Later The sooner it funds, the more people are willing to jump on. I think that was one purpose of the Early Bird, but that backfired because it's also a punishment if it fails. Going Forward Really it depends on what the product is. A highly desirable one can jump over a lot of hurdles. Dipping into "Just do a wide release" territory. Sentinel could probably survive as a mass release. Galactus, probably not unless there is an MCU film. What the tiers looks like again depends on the figure. But never do something like EOV Haslab again unless it's the Gi Joe route where "yeah we are going to release these in a wide market but with tweaked colors/names"............never do something like EOV Haslab again. Price - Depends on what it is. EOV would have probably had a better chance at $200-$230 with no Early bird(but including that head as a base offering). Competing crowdfunds - Giant Man did follow up back to backs with a major preordering season. -It might be wise to actually put it on the radar the prices so people really could plan ahead.

[@raymondjones5909]

Glad it funded sucks that second tier didn't unlock to get a bang for your buck

[@frankschuler2867]

I’m surprised this didn’t fund more quickly, honestly. $200 isn’t chump change, but for a huge classic character, it was less expensive than I expected and I was sure it would at least fund. I’ve never backed any crowdfunded projects at all due to the space they require. If I had unlimited space, I probably would have backed Unicron, Sentinel, Galactus, Victory Saber, Deathsaurus, HISS, Dragonfly, Thundertank and the Cat’s Lair. Money saved, I guess…lol…

[@MiddleAgedGuy73]

I ordered two, but it was on the first day. I'd hoped to get the Skrull head but I'm still happy to have two.

[@Hurricanelive]

111 or 5% to go on the final SECOND tier? Hasbro better as hell give us that skrull head on the 27th/28th. I completely get you wouldn't do that on a main offer like Rancor, but on a tier, you're 5% away, set that precedent and don't be petty for a billion-dollar boutique company.

[@brettwood1351]

It'll depend on the suits in accounting I think. I imagine the team will push for it, because of the goodwill. A friend backed the HeroQuest one, and they didn't quite make the dragon miniature's tier, but it got put in anyways. They might have to reduce some paint applications, but I give it a 50/50 chance.

[@Strapper01]

Hence the more minor tiers and them all being revealed right from the get go.

[@bandoogiemanz]

I agree, but why do they need to make extras? They know if they cooked the books. For example, if they cooked the numbers to add an extra 2k backers, all they would need to do is make 2k less giant men to cover the legit backers and that could be the end of it. We wouldn't know they made 2k less. The numbers on the shippers could be inaccurate, how would we find out? People will say it's tin-foil, but 7-9k backers is around 1.5million dollars.

The figure was an essential piece but the tiers were a mismatch. I backed it day one, but I think a lot of folks were holding off for a last minute tier announcement of a figure. The Skrull head made sense, but the zombie didn't. There aren't any comic zombies for this to go with. Had the tiers been: 1) Skrull head, 2) Wasp or a 6 inch Giant-Man, and 3) mini-figurines of Ant-Man and Wasp then this would have hit goal a lot earlier.

[@Vintage-Bob]

I'm very, very suspicious about this Haslab result. And yes, I do strongly suspect that Hasbro "cooked" the order numbers to get a "win". They can afford to make a profit off 8,500 or even 7,500 orders. So cooking the numbers in the end isn't past them and would be worth cutting profit a tiny bit to save face. But let's do some comparisons. On the Day 1, Sentinel got about 5,000 orders. Galactus got 6,000 orders. Both EoV and Giant Man (GM from here on out) got only about 4,000 each. By Day 5, Sentinel was at over 10,000 and Galactus was at over 8,000. EoV and GM were both hovering in the low 4,000 range on Day 5. By Day 10, Sentinel was at 11,000 and Galactus was at about 9,000. EoV was at just under 6,000 and was higher than GM (who was still under 5,000) even after EoV LOST orders! By Day 20, Sentinel was at 12,000 and Galactus was at almost 11,000. EoV was at 5,000 and GM was STILL TIED with EoV (which was still LOSING orders) at 5,000. By Day 30, Sentinel was at 13,000 and Galactus was at 12,000. EoV had DROPPED to just above 5,000 and GM was also just above 5,000 - again, with EoV LOSING ORDERS DAILY! GM stayed in the 5,000 range for THREE FULL WEEKS and essentially tied with the fiasco known as the EoV. By Day 40 Sentinel was at just under 15,000 and Galactus was just under 14,000. EoV was hugging 5,000 and GM was STILL just hitting 6,000. Sentinel and Galactus both saw major spikes starting on Day 40. Between Day 40 and Day 44, Sentinel spiked from just under 15,000 to just under 20,000. A spike of about 5,000. Galactus spiked about 6,000 from 14,000 to about 20,000. A spike of 6,000 in 3 days. EoV lost just a few hundred in those days, going from about 5,000 to just barely under 5,000. GM gained only about 1,000 in those days. On the last day, Sentinel spiked 4,000 - from 18,000 to 22,000. Galactus spiked 7,000, going from about 23,000 to 30,000. EoV sputtered and gained a couple hundred to top out at 5,000. And suddenly GM spikes 6,000 on the last day, more than Sentinel and almost as much as Galactus, even though it took 30 freaking days to go up 1,000 orders from the numbers on Day 1? Sentinel funded on Day 5 (10,000 orders), Galactus on Day 12 (10,000 orders). GM funded on Day 45 and 22 hours roughly. Literally the last minute. Really? A 6,000 order spike for an offering that was so lame it stood at 5,000 (half of Sentinel and Galactus's numbers) for weeks on end and only added 2,000 orders to the initial orders (placed on Day 1) after Day 40? No, something is not right here.

[@bandoogiemanz]

And it conveniently stopped just short of the 14k skrull head tier. I've wondered why they chose the zombie faceplate as the first tier. The r&d and molding/sculpting cost of a faceplate(zombie) will always be cheaper than an entire head(skrull.) Also, just an observation, not saying it means anything, but it's curious to notice that the faceplate matches the aesthetic of the marvel zombies from mcu canon and not from marvel comics canon, even though this giant man is a character from marvel comics canon, yet the skrull head matches marvel comics canon skrulls.

To say that numbers from 3d party stores and international were added at the last minute is BS: why would Hasbro not do that in real time in order to boost the numbers and unlock tiers much earlier during the campaign? Come on. Lastly, this campaign funded at 138% which is the worst score ever apart from the Barge (100%) and Unicron (100%) sold at more than twice the price than GM. There was simply not enough interest from fans to have an another giant fig with zero feature and that won’t shine in any collection, except perhaps if you didn’t buy other giant Marvel Haslab or if you have a giant mega toy mansion.

We all know Hasbro fudged those numbers. We ain't that stupid. Well, shills are!!

[@carlttoon]

If they fudged, then it means that there are even less in the after market. Buyers still win.

[@bandoogiemanz]

@@carlttoon supply and demand. There could be one, but if no one wants it, it's not worth much.

[@juansanchez209]

There’s this very odd wave of people on KZbin who are angry/bitter about this being funded, and I think it’s pathetic to be quite frank. If you weren’t interested in this project, that’s okay! Not everything appeals to everyone But there were people actively rooting for this thing to not get backed and mocking those of us who were excited for this project, and now those people are upset that they didn’t get their way

[@bandoogiemanz]

There were people berating those who didn't want to support it these past few weeks when it looked dead in the water. Everyone should be entitled to their own viewpoints both positive and negative.

[@GRAYMATTER_235]

The hypocrisy of marvel legends fans is ridiculous. My personal bias of completely wanting the EOV I like many others witnessed a shift in how easily people can become hate baited and turn against the very thing they claim to love. How peer pressure is so powerful even in adults who you might think have a mind of their own. For 350$ you would get 5 figures, a car with 2 molds, 21 led lights, blast and fire effects and interchangeable tires. Five figures is 125$ making the car 250$. Ramen toys car is 200-250$ depending if the promotion is going. You get no figures, no blast effects, no tires, no flame effects, no led lights. In fact to get those add ons you have to pay 16$ for tire parts and 16$ for flame effects. So it was never the price because the price differential is marginal at best. KZbinrs who hate Hasbro launched a campaign targeted at fans race baiting, calling out people’s manhood, name calling and turned the fandom into complete chaos. KZbinrs who buy and review marvel legends were waging complete hate based videos at Hasbro and the so called fandom jumped on the bandwagon and the EOV was DOA. But some how the Eternia play set funded, then the thunder tank 500$, the thunder cats huge play set funded. It was never about the price it was about the company. The most insufferable , petulant so called fandom is marvel legends fans. They don’t deserve a line. It’s interesting none of this gets talked about ever. If every corporation is so bad then cancel prime, Disney, Netflix, KZbin, espn, Mcfarlane, Mattel, neca, they are not charities. They are capatilist in the pursuit of money. Just like every individual on this earth who has a job or career. None of us work 40-50 hours a week for free.

Thats exactly what I was saying throughout this whole time the Haslab was running.

[@MiddleAgedGuy73]

I backed the EoV, I was bummed it didn't fund. And I agree about the Ramen Toys car, I think your reasoning makes sense. But I'm still part of the Marvel Fandom, and I would hate to not have Marvel Legends. I do collect other lines, and I would probably have more money and/or space to display things, but I love Marvel. Things are kind of toxic, I think it's a sign of the times, people are like this in general. Hopefully Legends weathers the storm and it's there when people relearn how to be kind.

[@jukeboxhero_21]

Umm…you were not guaranteed the extra figures unless the extra figures were unlocked. So the $350 price was for the car and one figure.

[@Synthesyn342]

I’m going to have to disagree. I think that the EOV was a bit overpriced. The extra figures are supposed to be extra (though Hasbro has admitted they add to the price) and a price or $350 was too much. $250 would’ve been a sweet spot. Having it be the same price as the Sentinel (which comes with LEDs, two figures, and several accessories, and, oh yeah, a 2 1/2 foot tall figure) looked kind of bad. A vehicle flat out isn’t as much of a draw as a Sentinel or Galactus is. Yes, some people DID for sure go overboard with the complaints, but some of it was justified. This is coming from someone who is a big ML fan though

[@GRAYMATTER_235]

@@jukeboxhero_21 How many figures were guaranteed with the Ramen Racer?

[@mrdestro7283]

hasbro gave bbts and others a at cost deal to get it funded

[@bandoogiemanz]

Someone must have gotten a deal cuz there are people listing it on ebay for barely over $100 extra. After fees and shipping they don't make any profit if they paid retail price. What's going on?
