this was technically hasbros first go at a batman figure before they had their new btas figures ready, not kenners fault really. this one actually comes with a two tone cloth cape to make up for the colors, used that cape to death. cant see it in the packaging does its on backwards

>>11875855
Cause its on backwards*

Is it just some weird temp availability issue or did the MSRP of the Mattel DC premiere figs go from $12 to $15?

I have picked up a couple of the Mattel figs, mixed in with my old DCUC figs they do look nice but I'm more just sampling the figs right now. I'm waiting for the collector's line to actually get in deep with the mattel line

I've been comparing the smart play sets to the Mario sets and watching my kids play with both, and it's kind of crazy how many obvious shortcomings there with smart play at least in respect to how my kids play

>Mario figures are more responsive and fun to play around with, react pretty accurately to being tapped around to make their walking and jumping noises, react to different colors etc, and the LED eyes are pretty charming. Smart play stuff is oversensitive and doesn't give the impression it is reacting to your play much.

>Lego Mario is loaded with a bunch of iconic sounds and music vs. the nasty synthesized sounds

>The play features that are supposed to set smart play apart are way underutilized. The little "find Pikachu" game is the only circumstance I was kind of impressed by the design and it wasn't just "touch the brick to a tag" which is essentially the same shit as Mario.

>The flying and driving noises that are supposed to react to speed have been really inconsistent

>I thought a unique draw would be that smart play Pokemon would interact with each other, but it doesn't really seem like they do unless you get them to battle. My kids don't give a shit about the battle feature, it's too abstract in implementation and they don't get it

>I haven't had to replace any Mario figure batteries yet with hours and hours of play, smart brick drains crazy fast. Like losing juice in 20 minutes fast

>Pricing of Lego Mario stuff is definitely a little better

don't you find it ironic? that celibacy is considered deviancy, yet to respond to the very primal instincts that allowed us to populate this very planet is considered such too.

So uh... are the little plushies part of ARCANADEA's female demographic appeal?

>>11875853
I mean, straight men collect Monster Hunter plushies, so I wouldn't say that's much an indication one way or another - times have changed, and it's now acceptable for dudes to collect plushies. I can assure you that anyone buying a half-naked Velretta plush or giant tittied Meltina plush isn't going to be a woman.

>THE Spiderman toyline?
>There were at least 3 Spiderman toylines in 2000 when Classics began.
Like i've been saying, who gives a shit about those other spiderman lines? They're budget shit that /toy/ doesn't care about, thus mostly ignored and forgotten about, but the shit OP is talking about has always existed. It's nothing new.

When Hasbro started streaming lining their toylines, to maximize their profits, OP started taking notice of these budget toylines, because there were fewer toylines on the shelves now. No more multiple movie sublines to clutter the shelves and now the main movie toyline (the expensive one) was merged into the Marvel Legends line

pic of GI Joe had a budget toyline along with the movie toyline. gi joe was never big enough to have its movie toyline apart from the main toyline.

Using the mattel method would make this line very easy to produce and thus make the regular figures profitable as fuck. That opens the door for the transformations and playsets/vehicles.

Guys, I think we might have something here.

>>11875600
Ideally the fact that only a single body mold would be needed would mean they go all out on accessories and articulation. Maybe Jada Toys could do it?

I've been dreaming of an all-encompassing Nicktoons line forever

I actually dreamt I found an awesome Tuesday X figure at a con and was pissed when I woke up.

I guess I'm trying to saY, I'm down for it Anon.

>>11875676
Jada would be a good fit, but honestly I think one of us could pull this off with enough upfront capital. Burgerland is literally out of missiles and sailors are jumping off the carriers, so the war will be ending soon and that'll cut the price of petroleum.

>>11875622
Although now that I say that, I wonder if they'd do toon versions of other properties that fit in with their TMNT line now that it's ended.

>>11875622
Those were based on the vintage toyline though.

Will Neca ever make Stan Winston’s Jason?

>>11875291
They should also get GOOSEBUMPS.

To whoever told me to look out for Savini Jason, thanks. I probably would have figured I was outta luck when I heard preorders were over. Didn't want to comment I was able to grab one on Target until it arrived lol. My cousin will be happy come Christmas since he really liked the design. Almost makes me want to grab one for myself, but I have Jason 7 and that's my favorite so I'll probably pass.

What the fuck is Doom 2099's deal? Doombot? Doom's brain in a robot? Clone? Or Doom's grandson?

>>>no toe joints
They're nice but how many people leave their toys in toe bent poses when it's time to place them on the shelf for like three months until you feel like messing with it again

>>11875828
Why would you ask here when you can just Google it?

>>11875828
Doom 2099 is a universe hopping Doom ala Rick Sanchez. He came from a universe where Reed managed to keep Doom from doing the experiment that disfigured him so his face never got fucked up. While fucking around with his time machine this Doom found how to travel the multiverse and ended up in the 2099 universe, where he found Latvervia under the control of an evil cyborg who disfigured Doom's face and left him to die. But a bunch of gypsy cyberpunks nursed Doom back to health and helped him build a new set of armor.

Most of the run is Doom in a William Gibson cyberpunk novel... Then Warren Ellis took over and ditched all the cyberpunk stuff and wrote him like regular Doom except he manages to conquer America.

>>11875832
Most nerds stopped reading Doom 2099 after the first couple of issues or only read the last couple of issues from the Ellis run. As such, it's not well documented online who exactly Doom 2099 really was, especially since Orlando, Spencer, etc who writes modern day 2099 stuff wrote him under the debunked fanon that Doom 2099 was the real Doom slumming around in the future when he and Reed were presumed dead

>>11875736
True, I guess it's more contextual than that.

>>11875796
Your mistake is assuming expensive hair and nails are the more visible ones only, like nail and hair extensions. A lot of normal looking styles or manicures are also on the pricier side.

you are 100% reliant on help from "that cool McDonald's employee" so make some new friends or scout locations for people who look like they care. good luck, sincerely.

or... scout out flea markets or thrift stores for Happy Meal Toy re-sellers. been a while since I've looked but maybe eBay might work, too.

Find a restaurant where they aren't paid enough to give a shit and ask them to find you a specific one.

>>11875540
Some stores will sell them to you without buying the meal, but you have to ask. They will also only sell you what they have so if you want something specific, be prepared to run around. Some managers will MAKE you buy the happy meal. I've literally bought some kid foods at a Burger King and gave it to a grateful mom who was in line behind me, and took a $1 from her versus the $3+ it cost me. Sometimes I had to eat the crap or give it to a homeless person.

>>11875559
>>11875540
It's always easier at locations in the burbs or away from say malls or freeways. Anyplace where some family might drive through or stop with ankle biters, whether they want this crap or not, is going to get it with their meals so that means less stuff for someone that wants it.

>>11875595
There are sites and YT videos about the actual ones and how to ask for them (orange box with numbers "XXXX" or some shit like that).

what? how does that works? Aren't X lose the last time? why did he suddenly win now?

>>11875399
Because that wasn't the official battle. Just finished reading the chapter and long story short X's father used AI or whatever the fuck to simulate multiple futures and according to his whack ass he orchestrated all of this to 'save the future of beyblade'. So he was literally banking on Nine helping X so One would lose as part of his 'master plan'.

>>11875693
that's so convoluted

>>11875454
>in the store am I the hunter, or the prey?
It depends on the neighborhood.

I always imagine scalpers as the hunters in toy stores. They know all the tricks, they know the reset dates, how to move efficiently through the aisles, all the street dates. We collectors don't stand a chance.

>>11875598
The problem in this scenario isn't all of this, all this information is also on-line. As others have pointed out, the entire concept of pre-order dates and on-line ordering is also an issue. Entertainment Earth (and McFarlane, which likely encourages the practice) sells entire cases. If you want 2 or more things in a wave, it might be a good way to guarantee that you get. But you shouldn't have to go to all this effort to get something.

It's artificial scarcity and FOMO. It's also really absurd since many scalpers (and consumers) were screwed now that McFarlane is RE-releasing some of these figures, like their Captain Carrot or Cyborg Superman as Vault releases as MSRP.

Scalpers can buy all the, let's say LEGO Star Wars Death Stars they want, but if the company makes plenty, it's meaningless that they are there, early. It's annoying for someone like a parent, or someone who didn't have the money to buy something when it was newly out, but that's the way the market is now as far as finances, toys aren't going to stay in stores forever, the way movies also don't stay in theaters forever.

>>11873952
Good, we don't need to overpopulate.

>>11872939
Don't go there in person anymore, just order everything online. I'm over driving somewhere, that may not have what I'm looking for.

>>11872411
Square obviously was going to do accessory packs but then decided everyone should just pay even more for the same figure with some minor differences because of all the unsold stock. Notice Barret sold out and he never got one of these releases.
