David Vonner, former head of Marvel Universe for Hasbro, is heading to Jazwares! David was one of the founding members of Kasual Friday, a group of former Hasbro employees looking to create a new upstart toy company. But word is coming in that Vonner is making his way to the company responsible for Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Adventure time toys!
Toyark wants to wish David the best of luck in his new venture!
What does this mean? Maybe legit Street Fighter figures? Mortal Kombat figures? THOUGHTS?

Good for jazzwares hopefully we can get better stuff from them now.
It means Jazzware is gonna be making better figures than Hasbro in a few years.
Its mean better adventure time figures!!!!!!!!
I wish he was around when they did the Assassin's Creed figures. I wanted a DaVinci figure.
so does this mean that jazwares will have figures whose legs pop off their ball joint almost all the time too?
wonder if they'll bump up the QC on the plastic they use now. generally liked their previous efforts but the addition of Vonner might just polish em up.
Too bad he didn't head over to Mattel.
That would have been interesting.
MK wasn't too bad. The horrendous figures were raiden and baraka though. The ninjas were fine.
I hope david can bring out better street fighter figures. I need chun li, akuma, and bison.
Curious if Mattel even tried to contact him..
I'm guessing nothing is going to change. Vonner will probably have great ideas and Jazwares will say "That's awesome! Now let's do it the cheapest way possible."
it's cool he's got a job (that was never going to be a problem though) but Jazwares? we'll see what comes out of this.
While I'm glad he was able to get a new job, I doubt much will change at Jazwares for a while. But I'll certainly keep an eye on the situation as it unfolds.
I just hope they make better sf and .mk figs.
Well it's too late now, they already released the cruddy figures, i doubt they'll redo them...
But maybe next time around which could be years....until then, they should consider Soulcalibur V figures, I NEED A ZWEI and VIOLA stat!
Does this mean il get my Jax figure at last???iv been waiting for him in 4inch scale for about 20years,iv seen the prototype i know you have him Jazwares.....JUST RUN THOSE MACHINES ALREADY!!!!
MK wasn't too bad. The horrendous figures were raiden and baraka though. The ninjas were fine.
I hope david can bring out better street fighter figures. I need chun li, akuma, and bison.
Theres a Baraka at my local TRU for $3 or $4. I gave serious thought to picking him up but what would I do with him? Not even for custom parts.
hopefully the street fighter round 2 two packs will finally be release, i really want that akuma and bison!
I can only imagine what he can do if they allowed him free reign for their 3 3/4 figs.
I do hope we get better SF & MK figures.
i like to think that one day Dave will return to Marvel,but i wish him the best of luck in his new venture and also i would like to thank him for the years of great toys he gave to the general collecting public from ML to MU,Thanks Dave you are very much appreciated
