Kind of confused....they give a price point of 9.99 while saying 6 inch figure at one point...
And the figures pictured... don't *quite* look like 6 inch figures.

With the swivel waist those look like 6" to me. Here is hoping for some 18th fodder. 9.99 may be some budget 6" figures that would be fodder for the bigger guys/gals.

There were $9.99 budget 6" figures for the last couple of Marvel movies so these kind of fit the same idea.

I was really hoping for a new batch of 4" figures for the upcoming movie, but it seems like Hasbro has decided to homogenize their brands and make everything 6" in either "collector" or play line flavors.
What a big bummer. It must have been like that for the 12" collectors when they saw Joe go from 12" to 8" and end up 4" tall.

As for the costume design, they are hard to judge from these toy shots, but it looks like everybody in the movie will wear a super hero armor of some kind. I doubt that Scarlett will wear such a bright yellow armor, but then again, Jinx did wear a yellow suit in Retaliation.

"Take this transformation device, my brother. You'll be able to transform into Snake Eyes, the power ninja..."
"..."
"You can say that again."

Since they won't really have vehicles to sell for this line, I wonder if it's why they decided to go for bigger figures.
After all, the original appeal for 3 3/4" figures was to release vehicles at a decent price point. Now it seems that have to downsize figures to 2.5" to do that...

Some of the pics from the Hasbro media packet worth pointing out for this "Kid's line". They did make sure to point out this line is aimed at kids complete with waist spin action on all of the figures.

Barnoness with snake motiff weapons


Scarlett with a sort of Sigma Six inspired bow and pistol that combine into her standard crossbow.


The Red Ninja comes with the grabber claw from the 25th Red Ninjas set and the weapons can attach to each other and it.


Night Creeper, striaght up translation from the ARAH figure. An interesting nod here to fans who might skip it for the more Collector driven Classified line.


And the ninja motorcycles which are supposedly in the movie.

_________________

The motorcycles hav e aplay feature where the gas cap acts as a figure stand so the riders can stand on top of them. Push down the seats while they're attached to the peg and they spin, kicking and punching and stabby stabbying whomever gets in their way.

Maybe the heads can be shrunk for 1/18th?

Henry needs some more scars, though.

Perhaps his disfigurement and lost of his voice will only happen during the final act of the movie maybe leaving the audience in a cliffhanger?

I personally am a little upset that Retro figures are repaints and they are selling for $13 a figure for 4 inches of plastic but they can make new molds and sell these for $10. what gives?
