Why this petition matters

If you are reading this, then you are most likely a fellow action figure collector.

 

This petition is about bringing back the 3.75"/4" (1:18 scale) Marvel action figures. Preferably the Marvel Universe line.

A quick backstory Hasbro should hear and you may can relate to:

To start, I've been a collector for a solid two decades and have probably 300 to 400 Marvel 1:18 scale figures (a mix between originals and customs), and Marvel Universe figures were by far what triggered that Marvel crazed fan inside of me that I am today. From the movies to the comics, for me it really blossomed when I had my first son and bought him his first action figure. He loved it. So, I got another one. Then they needed a villain to fight. And so the slippery slope began.

Collecting Marvel Universe figures wasn't just about snagging cool toys; it was an adventure into the Marvel Universe itself. It caused me to subscribe to comics, dive into character backstories, and truly soak in the whole Marvel experience. Marvel Universe wasn't just a collection; it was a whole vibe. The joy of customizing figures, being part of collector communities, and the thrill of hunting down new releases became a defining part of the journey. And you know what? Doing it all with my kids, friends, and family made it even more special and I still hold SEVERAL AWESOME memories from toy conventions with my dad and sons, to that jackpot feeling of finding that figure on the peg that you’ve been looking for a long time (talk about making a bad day a good one in just a single moment).

But let's talk memories. It wasn't just about the figures; it was about constructing dioramas, goofing off with the family, and crafting these wild stories. Christmas became a mini comic-con with the big reveal of the latest waves of Marvel Universe figures, becoming a tradition the kids and I looked forward to. It literally helped me be a better dad to my 3 kids.

Then, out of nowhere, the quality of Marvel Universe figures took a nosedive, prices shot up, and before we knew it, the line disappeared. Meanwhile, other 1:18 brands like DC, Fortnite, Halo, Star Wars, etc… were flourishing, and it left us Marvel fans feeling a bit left out. So, I thought, why not, after all these years, try “something…”, anything…

I kicked off the Save Marvel 375 petition, started crafting some custom figures, all in the hopes of catching the attention of the decision-makers. It's not just about my love for these figures; it's about keeping that inner child alive and maybe nudging the bigwigs to bring back the good times.

So, here we are —I'm calling on Marvel enthusiasts to join this movement. Of all the minutes, of all of your days in all of your years. Just dedicate 2 or 3 minutes to sign this petition and share on your social media a link so we can get some traction. It seems silly on the surface but means so much more than that to some of us. So I’m trying to encourage folks to make some noise on the matter, sign that petition, and together, we can be heroes to the action figure community and “Save Marvel 375”. Who knows… we could have a chance to bring back the excitement, keep the joy alive, and remind Marvel/Hasbro why it became such a big part of our lives in the first place.
