Yes, those are the Hasbro Pulse exclusives, not the ones in stores. To be clear, Hasbro owns Kenner, but these figures are done in the classic Kenner style. Cool, I know nothing about figures. Maybe I bought my last one 25 years ago and I always give them away after they collect dust. I love that shield that goes with the Cap figure. |

These are designed to be just like them, whereas the standard Marvel Legends figures are not. |

Hasbro pulse is the 'adult' toys site for Hasbro.. most of the Star Wars stuff is there too. YOu can find the 2 packs fro $19.99 under 'Marvel Retro', or the 6 'main' ones for $79.99 hasbropulse.com/collections/marvel-retro |

There are at least 14 figures, by my count, only six of which are available through Hasbro Pulse. A lot of these aren't exclusive to the website and can also be bought at Target too. The two Black Panthers may be the only ones that aren't showing up in stores (and on ebay). |

Figures are apparently already showing up sporadically at Target. Target has them exclusive for two months, and then they will be available everywhere.  Do you know the price point/MSRP on these? -M 9.99 Someone on facebook just posted a photo of them in stock at a local Target earlier today. |

Those ARE really cool.... I'm torn between wanting them to succeed so they'll make more and not so they'll be cheap at Five Below eventually  |

$9.99 is not bad at all. Definitely gonna start keeping an eye out. Those packages are just awesome.

There's a store in New York called Five below , Everything in the store is less than 5 dollars ( duh). I saw these there and did an impulse buy, as I'm not a toy collector. These are small , I think 3.75 inches.    This one was 12 inches  |

I was a bit annoyed because the Cap figure was based on the Ultimates version. I prefer the Classic one that has wings on his head. I didn't see a shield so I opened it up and it was stuffed at the bottom of the package. |

Five Below definitely has it's moments for action figures.. you're never going to see a hot collectible there, but they have some good stuff sometimes.
I went to 3 Targets looking for the Kenner guys, and not only did none of them have any, but none had a spot for them either... so either they're not carrying them, or the people that work there are buying them with their discount and going straight to ebay.

Five below strikes me as a place where overstock is dumped. There were dozens of the 12 inch IronMan figure. I went to Target a few days ago and their toy section looked like it was in disarray. Maybe I just visited a poorly run store. |

My daughter who works at Target has been telling me that since Christmas they've been cutting hours, to the point where there's not enough people for all the jobs. I can see it in the store I shop at that it's less well stocked and messier (especially the toys there as well)... maybe it's a chain wide thing.
