They needed to do more grunt bodies. I know I'm not snake eyes, but if I could've been a grunt joe....

Exactly, this is an interesting and appealing thing... even just a civilian, they have plenty of civilian and army builders to choose from. I want to have an action figure, but I don't want to be cosplaying in action figure form

Not surprised by this at all. I don't think I have seen a single headsculpt that looked like the subject.

Awesomely cool idea, but I always knew it would be so difficult to execute.

Announced July 2022,Hasbro's Selfie Seriesintroduced customizable head sculpts for theirGhostbusters,G.I.Joe Classified.Power Rangers, andStar Wars Black Serieslines We now have word the line has been discontinued, asRebelscumhas received this message from Hasbro:Thank you for contacting us about Hasbros Selfie Series. We have discontinued the Selfie Series platform and it has been removed from the Hasbro Pulse app. We also want to inform you that we are no longer accepting new orders for Hasbro Selfie Series figures. If you have already placed an order and need further assistance, please contact Hasbro Pulse.We appreciate the support and enthusiasm shown by all the fans who participated in this innovative personalization platform.

Back in July Hasbro announced a new line of Selfie Action Figures that would be available. The properties ranged from Power Rangers, Star Wars, GI Joe and others that Hasbro sells. Initially it was said to be $60 per figure but now according to Gizmodo the price has been raised to $80 per figure. Gizmodo reports Starting this Friday, September 30, collectors whove always wanted to immortalize themselves as a six-inch action figure can download the Hasbro mobile app (on either Android or iOS) and use it to order a custom Selfie Series figure. According to instructions you can ONLY order these figures through the mobile app which makes sense due to the fact that you need to upload an image of yourself. You also NEED to include at least five headshots to be submitted, including a required front view, plus several angled shots from the left and right with proper lighting and facial expressions in order to get the best results. Customers are also given choices on what hair styles and facial hair from 14 different options.Figure styles include Stormtrooper, X-Wing pilot, Leia, Mandalorian, Black Panther, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Widow, Red Power Ranger, Pink Power Ranger, Snake Eyes, Scarlett and a male or female Ghostbuster with delivery of said figure about 45-60 days from purchase.

That's an interesting concept, let's see how this goes.
