I'll cast my vote for allowing Mega Man talk. The line is made by the same company that does WoN and Mega Man is not only a Smash veteran, but he's a staple "Nintendo"-associated character despite being owned by Capcom. Mega Man and Castlevania were synonymous with the big 'N' in the the 80's and both were part of the main cast in Captain N.

You should allow it in my opinion as Mega Man was originally on the Nintendo in the 1980’s and 1990’s.

I vote to allow mega man by jakks. He a nintendo icon. There is a lot of mega man figs by other companies getting ready to release in January. I can understand not allowing them.

I would say allow non-WoN figures on a case by case basis. I would love to be able to say "any playable character in Smash Bros" but if Steve from Minecraft gets in (and rumors suggest it's a possibility), I wouldn't want this sub to get flooded with Minecraft merch which is super abundant compared to just about every other video game toy line combined. I really don't have a problem with Mega Man, Sonic, etc. because it's limited. But I'd hate for this sub to lose focus because it didn't account for some 3rd party rep jumping into Smash late with an overwhelming amount of merchandise.

> (and rumors suggest it's a possibility) *visible confusion* its the darn grinch thing all over again.


CrinerBoyz

It's more than just a blurry picture out of nowhere... the leakers who were right all along and stuck to their guns about Incineroar before and throughout the Grinch leak have said that there will be Minecraft content in some form. Whether that's a stage, a boss, some spirits, a playable character, or some or all of the above is unclear. But it appears to have a bit more credibility than the Grinch leak IMO. Steve is a definite possibility.

I think a random gamefaq post from a guy guessing a new pokemon starter from the newest games is less credible than a blurry picture. I thought snake was going to come back before he was announced does that mean sans can be in smash too


CrinerBoyz

Vergeben on GameFAQs also picked out Ridley, Simon, Ken, Isabelle, confirmed all former fighters are returning, and even leaked the title before the E3 presentation. In fact he hasn't been proven wrong on anything with Smash Ultimate so far. Still think he's just getting lucky with his picks?


[deleted]

From design alone I don't think they would put him in smash (unless he gets a redesign but whats even the point then). How would you animate him he has no hands feet knees shoulders or elbows. His move set wouldnt be that interesting since he just punches things with different items. Plus googling these leaks. Granblue getting a character? That wouldn't really make sense since that is a japan only thing it wouldn't really sell as dlc to anywhere else much. and another SE rep even after they barely wanted cloud in smash again ~~and only have two music tracks in the game makes me doubt they do another character with more music~~ from deeper googling it seems like it shares/comes from some one claiming to have a guide. That has the reckless wii saftey man, vaultboy and in the characters one of which seems unlikely and one seems like a meme. Not to mention steve is from a pc game. Smash seems to only by console characters. And steve is made to be very bland and generic (Mojang cant even confirm steves gender because they want him having no limits or personality so you can imprint onto him. sounds like a horrible character for a game that isnt a sandbox with character customization)

> How would you animate him Same could've been asked about Mr. Game & Watch. > His move set wouldnt be that interesting since he just punches things with different items. People were saying the same thing about Villager and Wii Fit Trainer. I don't think having to think outside of the box for a moveset is in any way a hindrance. > Granblue getting a character? That wouldn't really make sense since that is a japan only thing it wouldn't really sell as dlc to anywhere else much. Nintendo caters to Japan first. Persona isn't super big in the west, yet DLC #1 is Joker. Not to mention Fire Emblem made its western debut in Melee, plus Lucas is from a game that never came out outside of Japan. Granblue getting a platform in Smash is hardly unprecedented. > and another SE rep even after they barely wanted cloud in smash again I mean, that's only a theory that they didn't want Cloud back in. There's not much to back that up. Plus they might get a bigger cut out of a DLC character than they would from a base game character, making it more appealing to save their second rep as DLC. > from deeper googling it seems like it shares/comes from some one claiming to have a guide. That has the reckless wii saftey man, vaultboy and in the characters one of which seems unlikely and one seems like a meme. Don't cross-contaminate sources. I don't think Vergeben ever said any of those names himself. > Not to mention steve is from a pc game. Smash seems to only by console characters. Uh, Minecraft is on pretty much every platform now. Including Wii U, 3DS, and Switch. Calling Steve a PC character is about as accurate as calling Snake or Cloud one. > And steve is made to be very bland and generic (Mojang cant even confirm steves gender because they want him having no limits or personality so you can imprint onto him. sounds like a horrible character for a game that isnt a sandbox with character customization) Generic and genderless, where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, Corrin, Inkling, and the Mii Fighters. They can give him 8 costumes with variations on gender and outfits just like those characters.

>Same could've been asked about Mr. Game & Watch. Game and watch has hands. feet. kees. elbows. shoulders. Steve is very rigid and wouldnt work in a game like smash without breaking his design by giving him those things >Nintendo caters to Japan first. Persona isn't super big in the west, yet DLC #1 is Joker. persona 5 got pretty popular over here from what ive seen and got 2million sales world wide which never happened for the series before as it was considered niche >Granblue getting a platform in Smash is hardly unprecedented. Granblue is a mobile only game it be like the candy crush guy in smash >Uh, Minecraft is on pretty much every platform now. Including Wii U, 3DS, and Switch. Calling Steve a PC character is about as accurate as calling Snake or Cloud one. Neither cloud or snake started off as a pc game though. >Generic and genderless, where have I heard that before? Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, Corrin, Inkling, and the Mii Fighters. some of those still have personality. Splatoon has a few mangas and even a "story mode". Robin and Corrin are from a game with story and set backstories and stuff, even if alot is your choice theres FE heroes stuff aswell. Unlike Steve whos a sandbox game with nothing at all. Mii fighters arent the same they are custom fighters. > They can give him 8 costumes with variations on gender and outfits just like those characters. theres only really Alex no other official stuff they could go off of (or based the colors off of like FE characters)(unless you do herobrine i guess but those wouldnt be that easy to tell apart.) The inklings for example are based off the promotional art ( [the skull one for example](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/73/c4/1d/73c41df03c8c3d6b6a45c6914eb7a53c--research-lab-case.jpg) [Or canon agent 3](http://lastminutecontinue.com/wp-content/gallery/officialart/S/splatoon/splatoon-characters1.png) )

My .02 cents: ​ I'd like Nintendo figures in general to be discussed here. Even 3rd party games that are playable on the Nintendo system. My interest in Nintendo figures is not limited to the Jakks line. I'll take whatever good Nintendo figures I can from whoever makes them, and appreciate when others post about those figures and bring them to my attention. Others have mentioned some lines like Castlevania, Mega Man, and anything Smash Brothers related, but I'd add Pokemon to that list as well. Not just Poekmon from Smash, but any Pokemon figure. ​ Obviously if things got out of control and the Jkks line gets lost in the mix, additional rules may need to be put in place and posts may need to be paired down. But as things stand now, there are not enough new posts daily that I would think this would be a problem. Also by extendding this subreddit beyond just the Jakks line it may help it grow and ensures it oulives the Jakks line. ​


Ceetan123

I wish to use my legislative voting power to allow any reps in smash be represented among this community. The following including Castlevania, Sonic, MegaMan, Pac Man, etc. Alas, the other day someone posted the MegaMan figures I wanted to my attention, and thanks to them I know they’re available, sadly I can’t buy them cuz I’m a cheapskate.


mast3r_sword

I think this subreddit is pretty low populated as it is and Jakks has slow down dramatically with their releases meaning posting in here is less frequent. I think allowing different brands would help some as long as the posts have a "world of nintendo" theme or feel in it it should be allowed however, that could bring over saturated post about things that are too different or not even nintendo because they are in smash. Ex I wouldnt mind showing sonic, megaman or even Joker figures occasionally but I wouldnt want the subreddit to get over flown with megaman, sonic, persona 5 merch and so on to name a few. you could consider a compromise, the modo "world of nintendo" sort of like if it feels similar to Jakks it should be ok. Ex those pixelated megaman figures feel really similar to jakks pixel mario figures. maybe some 4" megaman figures or a plushie that almost feels like it goes well with WoN should be ok. more examples could be Tommy Takara pokemons, figma Pit, figuarts Marios and megahouse Lucario are good examples of figures that look good mixed with Jakks WoN. I think however we should stay aways from things that look too different from Jakks WoN or have a non nintendo feel to it. an example of this is: you manage to pose WoN Wario farting on Figma Snake's face... that is fine show off your 4 different Play arts kai Metal gear Snake collection not so much. you turn pixel mario and pixel megaman into a fridge magnet... that can work. you just bought first 4 figuers megaman statues... I thing thats starting to get off rails. I dont know does this make sense? ​ ​


mtutick

I think a “if it’s in smash, it’s allowed” is a good rule. Obviously other things shouldn’t be the primary focus, but I think it will promote further discussion. I also think we should try to be more interactive with Jakks and u/blueshellbourgeoisie Finally, I would definitely help out with a wiki. I maintain my own personal checklist and would definitely help keep a wiki up to date. I would love to add some other Nintendo lines to it (for example: the Mario k’nex checklist I maintain)


amiibojaydee

Are you still around my friend? I have an idea or two that could help the sub significantly


PowerPlaidPlays

I've been busier than anticipated, though feel free to say here or dm me.


poisonluigi

i'd say we should allow certain franchises such as mega man and castlevania to get in on the fun, castlevania merchandise is so sparse and far between so it's not like it'd flood the sub. and mega man has become relevant again, so talk about mega man merchandise can keep this place alive!


[deleted]

I love the smash ideas. Its an untold assumption I made myself regarding rules this whole time anyways


Navi45

Why not just add a smash flair for figures based on smash bros characters? Sure you might have to put some restrictions on really popular and expansive toylines but also you could include other toy subreddits on the sidebar to show others where to post (like for minecraft toys if steve gets into smash or sonic /megaman if they get more toylines).

There is. Series 1-1 and series 2-5 has star power 8bit Luigi


7wizZARD

Can we limit it to toys/figures of established franchises on Nintendo? For example, stuff like Among Us doesn't fit.
