>>11213516Is Aquaman cursed with the most terrible McFarlane figures?
>>11213632No, that's just all characters Todd makes a figure of.
>>11213632
>>11213636>Not including Mamoaman
>>11213503>>11213510>>11213513>>11213516fucking lmao, is this like an elaborate troll?DCucks can never win it seems, why does GOD hate you guys? lmao I literally can't breath rn
>>11213645Total Justice inspired twelve inch statues when, Todd?
>>11213645>literally can't breath
>>11213636Hook hand and im guessing time and tide aquaman look good. >>11213645>literally>>>>>>>cant breatheGood, im sure your mom will miss you after enough time has passed.
>>11213632>Is Aquaman cursed with the most terrible figures?Yes
>>11213632The momoaman is pretty good.t. picked two up on clearance>>11213645Hasbrony-kun...
>>11213640It's from another thread asking specifically about comic Aquamen.
>>11213636Ironically i think the best Aquaman Mcfarlane made was the first side eye one. The line has degenerated
>Power GirlI know you'll be unsatisfied, somehow.
>>11213493so this is the true power of DC fans. astonishing.
>>11213632>>11213636The digital Aquaman is growing on me. I keep him on my nightstand so he can watch me as I sleep.
>>11214000>keep him on my nightstand so he can watch me as I sleep.A blow job and a warm cup of cocoa will do the job so much better, anon.
>>11213510Superman's face seems to be suffering from the same issue as hush and ultraman 2pk supes where the head is squished too low on the neck and it deforms the face. It might look better with a longer neck peg and some re-heating
There are currently SEVEN DC threads in the catalog. Can you guys let a few of them die before you make another new thread?
>>11214000Considering getting the tasks force Aquaman and putting that head on the digital
>>11214084Do you think complaining helps at all? Female behavior.
>>11214084>currently six, actuallycounting this oneand not four like marble generals b/c we have a bigger autist and jannies do nothing about him eithercomplain to them or seethe in silence
>>11214132Two of the Marvel threads are about to fall off the board though. Most of the DC threads aren't.
>>11214084I have a sneaking suspicion this is a Marco thread. It reeks of low effort and failure and those are Marco's trademarks.
>>11213516Who said Todd can't make pretty women?
>>11214163You are being pedantic and argumentative. Two of the DC threads are in between the oldest Marvel threads and the newest ones to it.Additionally, those two are right near each other because one is exactly an example of the thread being created by certain OPs that janitors are doing nothing about.Argue about problems with this board, but argue in good faith. One of those problems is more likely that there is not sufficient interest in /toys/ to create enough new threads to bump these older threads off the catalog. Also, your 'finding' a problem' where one doesn't exist. Because those threads are older, they can no longer be bumped to the top of the catalog, so people are not going to see them, etc. etc. These are, once again, "problems" in need of "solutions" that you seemed to be the only one particularly concerned about.tl;dr go outside and get some fresh air, friend.
>>11214208>tl;dr go outside and get some fresh air, friend.The absolute irony of you posting this after a three paragraph essay telling me why I'm wrong. Sorry that I'm tired of your multiple DC threads OP, but it's becoming a problem.
>>11214093I thought consensus was task force Aquaman's head was botched, or are there holdouts who like it?
>>11214225I personally like the flowing hair. If I do the kitbash he'll probably sit on my Storm for an underwater Aquaman display separate from all my other multiverse figures.
>>11214225It's the best of the Task Force heads. The stink face expression aside, it's pretty good in a "buff 80's metal dude" kind of way.
>>11214258I'd say Batman is better since it's mostly just an angry Batman sculpt but the mask makes it a lot easier to make a good sculpt
>>11214259I might just be biased because I'm not a fan of gritting teeth angry Batman.
I'd wait on any task force purchases, I sense pegwarming wave from the overall reactions and no sell outs on preorders.
>>11214411He's putting out so many classic batmen that eventually the market is going to be saturated.
Why does every general on this board have one faggot who bitches when new threads are made? Is it just one retard who goes through every thread and whines like a bitch or is this some kind of autism inspired behavior?
>>11214211Seven sentences must loom large in your pea brain if you consider that "three paragraphs" much less an "essay." Any competent grammar or language teacher would have laughed at you for turning in seven sentences as an "essay." Also, I've never been the OP of this or any other thread on /toys/. You need to work harder on your paranoia and stalking skills.
>>11214262Are you also not a fan of smiling Superman?
>>11214567nta but the one Todd put out is horrific
>>11214411What head is that on Batman?
>>11214595Knightfall SDCC exclusive.
>>11214469Yes, manly DC/Marvel generals. The guy wants to be OP everytime. It's the /toy/ trinity, you get Angry Anon, Schizo Anon and OP Anon, together they ruin every thread.Legends says it's actually just Schizo Anon and the other two live in his head.
Pick one:1. Someone at mcfarlane actually liked that task force game a lot2. This task force wave was just a cynical opportunity to get in on the "lol so retro pixel game" market
>>11215021Was the game popular? I don't remember hearing about it before this, mostly just remember seeing all the Marvel beat em ups when I was a kid.
>>11215048It was around and mentioned in some magazines of the day but I don't think it was wildly popular or anything
>>11213987You're right, because they have yet to make one I can have sex with.
>>112150213. Its just an easy cash grab wave with a bunch of shitty repaints
Giving the red enamel another day or so to fully dry then going to add another layer and the body is finished.Recipe:- Injustice Superman and movie Cyborg- trimmed off excess lines under shield- red metallic enamel over boots, trunks, shield, and left cuff- dark metallic blue on textured areas of suit and left side of the abs- tin metal on right chest and lower side with black ink washPrinted head should arrive at the end of the week. Still new to missing, first time kitbashing, any advice or feedback would be appreciated!
>>11215084this... surprisingly works. get a better camera, though.
>>11214896>Angry Anon>Schizo Anon>OP Anon
>>11215084Feels like it needs the right side of the S-shield to be black to be perfect (repro head not withstanding), but otherwise that's a pretty solid look. Can't wait to see it finished.
>>11214896>manly DC/Marvel generalskek just noticed my typo, now the generals got even better
>>11215084The leg/arm blended really good with the rest of the figure, still a half darkned S and a decent half cyborg head would complete the look. Anyway still impressive and a great figure
>>11215139top jej
>>11214896Don't forget NECA Display Anon (yourself)
>>11215199Go away
>>11214663That doesn't look the same.
>>112136362 and 4 are decent, but not perfect
>>11215360They both have a shoulder patch sculpt. Classic is unpainted.
>>11213636Endless Winter with a different head is the best option.
>>11215370>Endless WinterYeah that happened.
>>11215082But they would be better off just choosing a comic storyline with generic designs instead of a game with pixel-style paint apps, because those tampos cost money, and alienate comic consumers since the logos are clearly pixelated. Only Aquaman basically works as a normal Aquaman figure. Batman, Superman and Flash all have pixelated logos on their chests.
>>11215139Why would Superman ever be fear based? Because he inspires fear in his enemies?
>>11215436There are probably some collectors who are buying everything just to horde and then re-selling them after probably not even a year or two. I've been looking for a second particular figure so I don't have to do a lot of repainting and I'm already seeing things like people trying to sell the entire Plastic Man BAF collection, in unopened boxes, for $40 and no one even fucking bid on that auction. So that means even that fucking Red JLA Superman or having ALL the Plastic Man BAF figures wasn't worth it for someone to pay $40+ (postage) even when they could re-sell what they didn't want or couldn't use.
>>11215481Well they aren't buying this wave, it didn't sell out anywhere yet, not even BBTS. I think it's a misstep for McFarlane.
>>11215481I don't see the entire wave unopened on ebay for 40 bucks. I do see the wave for 35 bucks that has an actual bid for the wave but without baf parts-- but that isn't unopened.
Todd's mods are the future of action figures once the pricing crash happens from Marvel Legends Deluxes for 40-60 dollars and McFarlane collector editions for 30 bucks get collectors fed up with predatory pricing.
>>11213510>that headsculptPfftthahahahahahahahahahah!
>>11215580They just assign the Jr sculptors at MCF to Superman figures because they know no matter how bad they botch it, it will sell since it's Superman.
>>11215084looking pretty good, anon
>>11215492The auction was posted for a full week; I debated bidding on it just for the Superman, but decided I really did want to have deal with having to sell the other three boxes, even unopened. No one bid and so far the person has not re-posted the listing. I think it had six other watchers last time I remembered looking at it. Bing often has the cached files. >>the wave ... without BAFI think I saw that too, like I said, I want that Superman Red but not desperately. I have both the DC Direct JLA Classified, which I prefer, and and the Mattel DCU. So it's not what I was looking for. And I only want it for the articulation and I'd prefer to get both of them from someone who is tired of Todd and wants to unload. I see (and feel bad) for people who are clearly selling off a complete collection, because I don't know if it's disgust with Todd or simply that they are having financial drama and thought this was a good way to come up with a load of quick cash, when those auctions aren't generating it.
>>11215574you couldn't pay me to accept any of those, even if I were someone who collected batcrap
>>11215692Well EE already has their buyers so they're happy.
>>11215691Looking up that wave, it's weird to me how many ebay listings of Mcfarlanes are just people who are already selling loose figures that just came out this summer. It's like, do these people really just buy figures , keep them for a couple months and then get bored of them and sell them off at a loss to pay for the next releases?
>>11215721I think some of them are scalpers, like the anon who posted last week that he bought that Caucasian Lightening Lad at, I think a Wal Mart, posted in for sale and sold it - as he claims - before he even had walked out to his car.I'm sure for people who don't live near a WalMart and really wanted something, especially if they can afford it, it's not an issue. But those are rare and not typical. For a while, last year's Kon-El Superboy was also going for quite a bit more than MSRP, whether open or NIB, but that's also stopped, and it's back to the more realistic about $40/50 if new, or $25-35 because two recent auctions at $40 didn't have any one bidding. >sell them off at a loss to payVery few people should expect things to go UP in value once you open them. I mean, cars don't work that way. House may go up in value, but there are scarcity issue or other factors, like location and neighborhoods, etc., which is why you can buy homes for a $1 even today in some places in the USA
>>11215439Pretty sure that's Superboy Prime when he was a member of the Sinestro Corps.
>>11215721There's a considerable number of this specific type of collector. Their collection is just in constant rotation. It's like 80% of their toys are just "passing by" for them. They buy them and get bored of them in less than a year.
>>11215912You know, I see people saying this all the time, and yeah, I get that mindless consooming is a bad thing, but it also makes me reflect on the fact that other hobbies don't get the same scrutiny for this kind of behavior. Games or movies for example, it was normal to do this. You beat a game or watch a movie, you can either keep it to replay/watch, or sell it to get a new one. Why are toys held to a different standard? Is it because there is no dictated "beginning and end" like other forms of media? Or perhaps the ways people enjoy them (play/pose vs. shelf display) dictate selling behavior? If someone finds no enjoyment in an object past staring at it on a shelf, I can see it getting old faster than something you actively "use."In any case, this shit is kinda tiring to hear at this point. Everyone collects differently and there's no point in bagging on other people for it. Those quick-sellers also help along another part of the ecosystem, people who can't afford stuff at original retail and pick it up later on eBay for cheaper.
>>11215986Briefly, people are going to needless comment on others, whether it's a comic book they like, an animated or live action TV show or movie they like, or a collectible. Even within those communities you have always had an 'eat your own' behavior so it's best to simply ignore it.However, even as someone who has benefited and gotten less expensive but perfectly good collectible figures, for example, in this case, this goes back to the larger issues that have been raised in this (and other Generals) about manufactured scarcity.
>>11215986There's ways to do it so it's not done badly.
>>11215089Thanks!>>11215140>>11215159I've been thinking about ways to do the black half of the shield that would look better than just a straight split down the middle but nothing I've seen online looks good. The gold part of the shield never catches shadows so in contrast the S looks darker at the right angle. Still have a few days until the head print arrives so I'll smoke and pace in front of it and see if I get inspired.
>>11216302I think Dan Jurgens' oil stain is the way to go, as if the machine part is taking over
>>11216343That always read as a metallic red that was only catching light on the right side. There are some customs out there that have tried it and it always looks muddy.There's also considering how much detail other figures in the line have and how he'll mesh aesthetically with someone like Steel or Superman without having to modify them as well.Once the head is painted and everything is put together I'll know if I want to darken the shield.
>>11216379Yeah I think you are into something, I looked some customs and none of them look good. Even Mafex let the dark side out of their figure.
>>11216379I was just about to suggest a weathering effect rather than a solid black. Though most figure lines seem to agree with metallic shield and forego painting the right side all together. You make a good point about how it fits with its contemporaries in the line too. But again, your call.
>>11215713Yes, it's really easy to call something a 'success' when you only have a small batch of shitty toys to unload.I bet Sony and WB would both have loved it if some 5000 theaters had closed down this past May, so they could have said that Joker II and Venom were both packing in theaters, no?
>>11215439>>11215909Yep, that is a Superboy Prime Custom, and yes, from the Sinestro Corps War. Sadly, it's a bit of lazy custom where it would have worked better if the person who made had just spent the time/money painting or even just coating the metallic silver/iron components of the figure with a blue tint or blue paint. It looks like he's primarily using a Mattel buck but taking parts from McFarlane.That sold for over $100 on EBAY so it's not like he wasn't going to make the money back on his time and expense of the blue paint.
>>11216379Which other figures do you have?
Todd, release the hostages you piece of shit, no one deserves this.DCucks, call 911 and tell them someone is forcing you to buy this stuff, everything's gonna be fine.
>>11216861I'm surprised the recent wave of DC Super Powers that he released (the one with Bizarro) still is showing as unavailable on Amazon. I can order them from Gamestop and I forget who else has them on line and I know the two nearest GS to me physically have them in stock. But this fake FOMO low production numbers thing he has going on is just going to kill the entire franchise. Especially now that some people claim their have their Justice League or they have realized they aren't ever going to get the exact figure they want unless they are willing to put a lot of elbow grease into it like: >>11215084And most buyers won't go to THAT much effort.
>>11216891The platinum chase figures are one thing if they are variants but to just not be able to buy a figure at all is another issue. Like blue/red supes for example while i may prefer one over the other i atleast got one right? Now it just seems like getting a pre order is impossible, just really killed off any real hype i had for the line. Guys like captain carrot and firestorm really drew me in and everything was cool for me but then things changed and now todd is treating action figures like comic books and is catering to resellers imo.
Where is Absolute Batman?!
>>11216963That was the plan all along once they shifted to classic costumes because catering to whales is the only way obscure characters in plain spandex costumes from the 1950s-80s sells.
>>11217125Which is bullshit spite from Todd, because he never wanted to make classic characters ie characters that sells, since he would rather just make bullshit Batman variants and non representative abominations that DON'T FUCKING SELL than giving fans what they want...
Was Inque ever Batman?
>>11217163You don't hear about DC Multiverse being the top selling action figure brand anymore, do ya?
>>11213503>>11213510>figures based on favorite DC gameYES!>they look abysmally badFUCK!
>>11217188How could it be when he only makes a few thousand units of every figure? The reprinted Snowtrooper was a top seller for days, it's crazy what happens when companies make figures people want.
>>11216963Super Powers are designed to be a mass market line, that's why they are also priced cheaply. The are an articulating version of Funko Pops, which is why some idiots here hate them so much. I agree with you that something like say a gold painted one or those B&W SDCC tri-packs can be a rare platinum chase figure, and there's nothing necessarily wrong with that except that even Mattel and NECA and others would eventually put their SDCC exclusives on - at minimum - their own storefronts or something representative of that - for sale. I've never been to a San Diego con, but I have about six of their exclusives, one of which I bought in person at a Game Stop while on vacation in Vegas about three years after that actual con. I have an SDCC McFarlane I bought from Todd through one of their Run Fair events. None of the ones I own are from EB or any other secondary (scalper) source of that kind.
How are Todd's DC retro figures in general?
>>11217276Really limited articulation at the hips but if you just want a cheap representation of the character they're fine.
>>11217276They're like Funko Pops. Hideous, useless shelf clutter.
>>11217268Ew, don't waste your money on Super Powers trash.
>>11217343>useless shelf clutter.Isn't that all action figures?>>11217276Slight better than the Superpowers stuff. Better articulation.
>>11217343Funko Pops are more souless than anything else. They are useless clutter because you cannot do anything with them other than stick them on a desk or shelf. They represent the height of idiocy of the people who want MOC toys and keep them in their clamshells, for the people who vault the Pops even if they are sticking them on their cubicle shelves. McFarlane's Retro figures and Super Powers are more worthwhile. This is a good way of looking at them:>>11217323>a cheap representation of the character>>11217347>Better articulation.They better be, for essentially twice as much. And almost as much as the lowest end (or what used to the low end DCMVs).
>>11217479>McFarlane's Retro figures and Super Powers are more worthwhile.Why? You can't play with them or pose them, they look awful. May as well just be a cardboard cutout of a character if someone just needs a thing to put on a shelf.People who buy retro figures, super powers, and funkos are all the same. They lack any resemblance of decent taste and just hoard shit. It's the most repulsive aspect of this hobby and anyone who functions on that level should be shamed and made fun of like the retard they are.
What's the best DC action figure ever made?
>>11213493Why did this thing never see release in america?
>>11217581Not even a contest
>>11213503Lmfao
Are there any figures of Hank Henshaw in his non-Supes outfit?
>>11217251Retailers aren't ordering enough for them to make more since Retailers find the stuff that isn't ultra platinum red gold label misprint edition not selling enough
>>11213636SOVL has come full circle to souless. Todd’s refusal to keep up with the times makes this look half-assed and janky as fuck instead of charming like they were before computers and newfangled 3d stuff
>>11217508>You can't play with them or pose themYou can actually. I mean, they do have vehicles and playsets for them. Far more than a Funko anyway.
>>11213503>>11213510>>11213513>>11213516kekrazzie award for worst figures of 2024 locked in.
>>11217508You are being an obtuse imbecile. It's bad enough to argue with someone who is being pedantic but you aren't even consistently internally logical. Go away and argue with a wall, I sure as shit am no longer going to waste my time with someone who is a waste of air and space.
>>11217672>find the stuff>isn't ultra platinum>red gold label misprint edition>not selling enough
>>11215052Get a fucking girlfriend and make her dress up as Power Girl. I swear, virgins have no imagination...
>>11214211Would have been more appropriate to make fun of the reddit spacing instead of bitching about 7 sentences lol
>>11217828>make her dress up as Power Girl.What if I don't wanna do that?
>>11217828>implying I don'tShe's shit at staying still, and she doesn't scale with the other figures.
>>11217672Doesn't he stuff cases with d listers like Max Mercury and vampire variants and only include one Question? I mean yeah, of course the non triple gold platinum malbolgia chases are the only things that sell, they're the only products that aren't bizarre bullshit
>>11217944>the triple gold platinum malbolgia chases are the only things that sell, they're the only products that aren't bizarre bullshit*Damn phone
This is creeping me out
>>11217908[Top heavy joke]
>>11217974I don't see why anyone would want this. And I am usually a "cool look" nut. This sure isn't a classic look or a cool look.
>>11217993It's from Alan Moore's run, you heathen. :)
>>11217996A dollar is about all its worth
>>11218001more like commie books amirite
>>11217996Alright ya got me, why did Swamp Thing turn into a red cactus?
>>11218006Swamp Thing #57, 1987. He fights with Adam Strange.

>>11218039>The Batman I've been waiting for >Will sell out before I checkout Bitchin.
>>11218039Why is Todd going back to plastic capes?
>>11218083Budget? And I know it's not even that much more to do a cloth cape.
>>11218039Based Todd going back to plastic capes. The era of cheap doll shit is over.
>>11218039Fleischer Superman is going to have a plastic cape, isn't he?
>>11218089Plastic capes are kinda shitty just for poseability.
I wish Todd would make a Nightwing that actually has the same slim proportions of his Dickbats.
>>11218083The screenshot includes the description that directly says it'll include BOTH sculpted and wired cloth capes.But even if it only came with plastic cape it'll be to capture the specific look of that cover so it'd be fine.
>>11218083They're including both plastic and cloth capes, so I think it's a matter of padding out the accessory count to justify what I'm assuming will be a high price. Having options is nice. Besides, the question we should be asking is whether the interchangeable cape feature will affect the sculpt/articulation of the figure.
>>11218039Whats the point of buying this when he's made hundreds of Batmen already?
>>11218116I don't own hundreds of batmen and this is the one suit I want and need to finish off my justice league.
>>11217996>>11217974Holy shit. I usually go for monstrous sculpts, but this is just grossing me out. It looks like he's covered in prolapsed buttholes and rotting meat. I just can't do it.
>>11218091I disagree, in Todd's case it often helps. He makes rubbery capes that can act as a stand support in action poses, yet still flex out of the way if you need them to. Judging them solely within the realm of non-fabric capes, I think they might be some of my favorites actually.
>>11218136Just looks like the Knightfall design with a weird cape
>>11218083>>11218039>>11218089>>11218150DC Direct had some figures with capes you could remove; depending on how he did it, I am understanding that announcement as McFarlane will sell ONE figure with both a plastic (detachable cape) and a soft goods one. THAT would work for me just fine.
>>11217908this is why japan makes blow up dolls for you virgins
>>11218090Yep. They're reusing the AC1000 body and cape. You can always remove the cape and glue your own doll clothes to it though if you want :)
>>11218150Agreed, and the seams on the doll capes ruin any aesthetic value his toys have. Anything smaller than 1/6 scale and capes look terrible.
>>11218090We don't know. The render had the same old AC 1000 plastic cape, but Catman had a plastic cape too in its render but came out with a cloth one. Given how the line has been ging this year I'd bet is a cloth cape.
>>11218191>the seams on the doll capes ruin any aesthetic value his toys have.This is because they are relatively cheap and poorly made soft goods.>Anything smaller than 1/6 scale and capes look terrible.This is outdated info though, many Chinese companies are making amazing quality 1/12 clothing now. It was a skill issue all along.
>>11218197Many companies can also produce a toy line without artificially scarce figures and chase gimmicks, yet here we are. If Todd could make decent doll capes I wouldn't hate them, but he doesn't and they look worse when he uses them.It kills me when I watch a YouTube review of a figure and some dipshit claps for a wired doll capes and keeps the figure in A pose and adds it to the shelves of other shit packed in rows behind him.It's always the people who bitch loudest about needing doll capes that never end up doing anything with them.Yeah, I can see why something that just hangs off a toy's back works better for them than something actually sculpted to look like it's billowing in the wind, that would block the view of the ten Batman figures behind it all lined up like stormtroopers.
>>11218271Can we see your immaculately posed collection? Maybe it'll inspire us.
>>11217974yknow this actually looks like a cool resident evil boss. i dig his gross muscle look.
>>11218189>glue your own doll clothes
>>11218116https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26MFa79YvMg
>>11218116Don't know, I never bought any of his Batman or Superman. Each one seems to fall short on two or three things that stop it from becoming a decent figure.
>>11217944I don't know about WalMart's but when I go to any place that physically has McFarlane Toy's for sale, I'm not finding a huge number of things that are peg warming or look excessively stocked - except for that recent overpriced Capulo two-pack, and a few other things which have been peg warming for a while (that translucent Fire). I haven't seen a Max Mercury since earlier this summer when I was chasing down the Conner Kent Teen Titan's figure. >>11217632That was for sale at Game Stop at minimum, what are you talking about?>>11217581I'm partial to the DC Direct Superboy Robot with Beppo, myself. It's a 7" figure so it scales well with Todd's nonsense.
>>11218439>except for that recent overpriced Capulo two-packthis finally sold, but high price aside, i think a big problem is all my targets put it in a special batman section away from the rest of the action figures. one had it in the nerf aisle which was two away from every other batman toy
way to really shove some outlier peg warmers into prominence - also talk about shitty posing even if these are 5POA toys
>>11218503Those things are so goddamn ugly. At least it's a variant cover so nobody following Action Comics has to buy that. The other covers out there are actually pretty good.
>>11218439Max and vampire shazam are all sitting pretty in my area. Everything else has been moving except manga batman in super powers which i expect will hit clearance soon. Someone even bought that goofy looking hal that just came out.
>>11218439>That was for sale at Game Stop at minimum, what are you talking about?Not in my area it wasnt
>>11218618>goofy looking halLooks fine if you heat the head and pinch the jaw in.
>>11218547>Those things are so goddamn uglyThey are but the capes are the worst offender to me. I know it's supposed to be nostalgic but sometimes the past was not that great
>>11218669>heat the head and pinch the jawThis works but you'll also need a slightly longer neck peg or the thick ass neck will flare it back out
>>11218706Will update once I find a longer neck peg
>>11218706What's wrong with this? Comic book men are supposed to have strong jaws. I could see if it was wider than the top but it's not. Also, is this a flipped reuse?
Why would that random Batman be worth 50 bucks? Mcfarlane has gone nuts.
>>11218799McFarlane's logic:Bigger box equalas twice the price.Limited production? Add 10 bucks for it to be profitable
>>11218681Hey now, this general loves shitty looking doll capes with giant seams.
happy spooky day, just goona post these before i put on the cowl. i think im finally doneexamine>>11218116ive been waiting 30 years for this guy and he's already sold out, why does todd not want my money
>>11218930
>>11218358
>>11218933Is already sold out though
>>11218932before the journey began
>>11218935this is literally the batman ive been waiting for since i was a wee little man i will get it come hell or high water
>>11218933im surprised he didnt use the year two arms, hope the point arm things are sizeable
>>11218935The arms, diaper and legs are both just knightfall again and really the abs could have been as well. Why are people buying this? What's so great about this slightly different look? Is it just attachment to the artist?
>>11218940>>11218936Looking great
>>11218933>>11218935I don't like the eyes and the cloth cape looks like trash.
>>11218956>EEUEGH EEIGHJH MOMMMY THAT GUY WONT LIKE THE STUFF I WANT!!! MOMMY I WISH I HAD FRIENDS AAAUUGH
>>11218933>>11218935Is this supposed to be Troika Batman?
>>11218964very similair but toddd already did troika batman technicallt he just didnt label it as such, looko at the two pack with batman and spawn then google troika 515
Mondo Scarecrow is up for order, both versions.
>>11218973Too space-poor to afford 1/6th. I don't know how they sell all this stuff.
>>11218935That statue is pretty rad. Todd could sell platforms like those all day, please.
I'm still wondering what the grapefruit was but I'm hoping it's set pieces and backdrops.
>>11218933>>11218935Fuck, I really home he includes the hard plastic capes more often, just to get the draped-over-the-shoulders look like Mafex did for this one
You guys like Swamp Thang?
>>11219063Hard plastic capes are the worst though. Soft plastic ones at least allow you some variety of posing. Hard end up really unnatural in many poses.
>>11219104You don't pose your figures
>>11218935Wow that doll cape looks awful compared to the plastic cape next to it.
>>11218935Saving this pic for the next time someone wants to shitpost about the superiority of soft capes lol
kys jaret
>>11213493I decided i wanted this thing hut found out too late because now its sold out. Is their any time it will be back in stock?
there are people unironically complaining about a cape accessory that adds more pose options in here right now.we need a /statue containment/ board
>>11214896tfw im probably angry and schizo anon
>>11215580i mean its not my cup of tea eitherbut it IS correct, they should have went with the snes ones
>>11218935>A Professor Pyg mask is included with the most recent Damian Wayne figure.>Now Scarface's head is included with this release.Thanks, Todd. It's like someone over at McFart through psychic means looks at my never-ever list and taunts me.
>>11219294Maybe theyre teasing them as upcoming figures?
>>11218446Yeah, it was kinds hidden away but in the right aisle.>>11218618I actually want Manga BM to have as my ONLY batgod for Super Powers. I actually found the gold one but I'm going to keep that on the card to sell a decade from now for a mint.>>11218651What can I tell you. I pre-ordered Booster but couldn't find Ted but then it was at a GS I just stumbled into.>>11218706I like it.But I prefer some other Hal's better.
Will Todd release HOURMAN and Starman and every Robin variation in existence before I get Dr. Fate, Constantine, Zatanna, Etrigan and Swamp Thing ?
>>11219323meant to post this hal *
>>11218935Pretty sure that the entire stock just went to ebay for double the price
>>11219419Hilarious how people in 2025 are still complaining about missing preorder windows when they always sell out in less than five minutes. Most people here didn't even get a chance to see the Joker movie set on the site before it sold out.You snooze you lose.
>>11219424>people in 2025
>>11219428>living by the calendar date instead of operating by preorder quartersthe absolute state of /toy'
>>11219199Just wait, sometimes the McFarlane site "rereleases" popular stuff. Some people on Instagram pointed out how scummy Todd was for putting the figure on pre-release although only the shadow teaser was postedI wonder how they will distribute the figure in Europe because here, we get every release out there pretty easily
>>11218930>>11218932>>11218936Glad to see you finished it. Looks great. I wouldn't have known it was a repaint if you didn't say so.
>>11219104Hey stupid fuck I said include it too, not make it the only option. You retard.
>>11219103I want to but itd look better in green.
>>11219415You know, I do like that head sculpt and overall look of those bodies, in fact, I just got the Capulo and alternate Jim Lee of Superbro since they were both NIB and reasonably cheap (under $20). But on any GL (not just Hal), I was never fond of the metallic finish. There's one Kyle where it looks good, but that's about it.>>11219424If you are making five treacle tarts for the church bake sale and you sell out when they first let people through the door, and your next door neighbor slaves all day over a hot stove making double chocolate brownies and sells out of ten batches of 20 brownies each, who really is the most popular baker at the church's bake sale?
>>11219491No, Todd doesn't release the exact same thing twice. It's always a different head or a repaint or packaged with different accessories or in a 2 pack, etc
>>11218940>batman gumwas it any good
>>11219408>Dr. Fate, Constantine, Zatanna, Etrigan and Swamp Thing ?Todd Slop ® branded merch for all but one of these, son.
>>11213493>poses are overrated editionhasbro took your pose op
>>11219759>when the S stands for Stroke
Any dynamic poses of dcmv are frustrating to keep standing. I don't know how people tolerate that
>>11219759Is the dc franchise cursed?What are the best dc figures?
>>11219798Oh yeah, the ratchets are all wrong and the awkward proportions don't make it work out any better.
so today's big todd turd reveal was another fucking batwank vehicle? >>11219759>took your pose
The head should arrive today! Surprised that the little buildings I ordered to make a backdrop showed up today, too. I plan on painting them and putting lights inside so it'll be like a Metropolis skyline behind all the figures.
>>11219822hover jet batman (2000)nothing has ever topped it
>>11219838Those miniature buildings are a neat idea
>>11219914yooo black duke nukem confirmed
>>11215048>>11215050It was a huge flop saleswise, though most reviews were middling as far as "it's not great but could be far far worse".
>>11219798can you post an example
What the fuck is this Action Comics 1000 shit I keep hearing people talk about with regards to Todd's toys? Had to listen to two fuckers at my local conic shop talk about it while waiting in line to checked out this afternoon...
>>11219838looking good but your camera still sucks
>>11219958It's the best DC figure Todd's made so far. And it was the first Superman in the first wave so anyone who missed out when it was released has to pay out the ass on the secondhand market. It also has a shiny red symbol.Basically it's the first edition shadowless Charizard and your collection is incomplete without one.
Prices on these Batmobiles just keep going up. Pretty soon they'll be in the haslab range.
>>11219838Where did you get the little buildings?
>>11219964>It's the best DC figure Todd's made so far.No, it really isn't. It's actually rather bad. It's just all Todd's classic Supermen have been even worse.
>>11219931>>11219960Thanks I'll get out my good camera when I'm done painting the head.>>11219967Amazon. They're like $13 for four in 1:800 scale. I'll probably order some more to make the backdrop feel more dense
>>11219914>somehow managed to make them not hotHow?
>>11219914Fake, but if Mcfarlane made them, they WOULD look like this.
>>11219974Which Hal is that?
>>11220032Todd can't do female figures well. He thinks females don't sell but the reality is they do when they are made hot. And sometimes even not--like Todd's Catwoman from knightfall
Do you think McFarlane is crazy enough to make these into toys?
>>11220156i mean he basically has approximations for all of these aside from dare devil batman
>>11220156Is that Ra's Al Batman in the back?
>>11219914>finally a good Robin cape>it's fakeFuck you too
>>11220176Is regular Ra's holding the skull of Bruce
>>11220252a skull of Bruce *
>>11220229
Reeves Superman preorders are getting mass cancelled. Check your orders to confirm the status, bros.
>>11220278I got mine like four years ago, or whenever the Mezco came out. I'm fine.
>>11220281LMAO
>>11219958Action Comics #1000, in regards to the McFarlane DC line, references one of the first evergreen comic accurate non-New 52/Metal/Injustice figures Todd made involving Superman. The name comes from the card/back artwork for the figure, which was one of the covers from Action Comics #1000. It's generally considered the best and most evergreen comic accurate Superman figures ever made by Todd. It also came out in the early days of the line, when it was selling for shit and had really god-awful distribution due to the number of Batman/Evil Batman garbage clogging the shelves unsold. So very few people bought it when it came out and when Todd finally got forced against his will to do more evergreen/comic accurate figures by DC as condition for him being able to keep doing the line, there was a huge influx in demand for AC1000 Superman. Which caused it's price to spike to becoming a $100+ figure. In the time sense then, Todd's released a couple of additional comic accurate Superman figures (Earth 2 Superman, post-Our Worlds At War Ed McGuinnes/Jeph Loeb Superman, and Electric Superman in Red and Blue colors) but they generally pale towards AC#1000 Superman but mostly, are variations and not a proper regular Superman. Since then, Todd has done two updated releases of it. First was a two pack with Atomic Skull (who is exclusive to the set) but the AC Superman had a new headsculpt that was critically panned. The second, is the recently released and only now just hitting Walmart shelves Walmart exclusive version of AC1000 which has been retooled to feature a cloth wired cape.
>missing out on AC1000how much did that mistake cost you?
AC1000 Superman being good has to be the best troll job going today
>>11220272why is this head better than like 90% of Todd's heads?
>>11220301Super Powers is baby tier Imaginext level toddler shit that's so simple and cartoony anyone can see 'their' version of Superman in the sculpt.
>>11219974>little buildings>Amazon - $13 for four in 1:800 scale.Those are cool, but it looks like you blew at least $39 and plan to spend more PLUS still need to do some painting (and I'd personally add at least some trees and likely some teeny tiny cars), which seems like a lot when it would only work for say 2-4 figures in one display. I have credit at Crapazon, I'll need to consider it, but yikes.
>>11219974Are you going to paint the head yourself?
>>11220032Todd is secretly a lesbian. That's why certain of his dolls wear lipstick.>>11220229They are allegedly based on existing McFarts, except for the heads. No clue how the made that Robin, but clearly the Supey is from Todd's recent Conner Kent and that Wally/KF is based on last years 'tiny hands' version. >>11220037>they WOULD look like this.worse
>>11220078DC Direct New52 version, maybe?>>11220339Oh this is an investment into a permanent backdrop display for figures I've spent years collecting. Going all in while crossing the finish line is part of the fun.I'm going to wait until more of them arrive before settling on the lighting routes, but I'm using some Christmas fairy lights I'll be able to thread through the back facing windows and I'll leave enough space that they'll work as streetlights. This looks sick as hell in person. I'm loving just pacing back and forth and watching the lights twinkle through the windows and reflect off Hank.This is going to look pretty rad when it's all painted and set up behind the other figures.>>11220345Of course.
>>11220384holy shit. that's awesome
>>11220384looks kinda shitty. actually really shitty!
>>11220384might want to try to angle them so it looks like theyre in a distant perspective
>>11220384>DC Direct New52That looks like potentially the Icons or the Justice League pack.
>>11220384Interesting and creative display but like the other anon said, it's too much money and effort.
>>11220386>>11220423Thanks!>>11220421Might try something like that. After fiddling with these lights I'm definitely going to make a board to hide the wires so I'll play with angling them like they're spreading outwards.Also looking for a globe to put on the left side of the shelf like they're flying past the Daily Planet.>>11220422Could be, I bought him loose on ebay.
>>11219958He's easily my favorite Superman figure. If I hadn't fallen in love with him I wouldn't bother with the rest of the line, now here I am wiring a Metropolis diorama.Super hyped for the Fleischer figure.
Last group shot of the Reign of the Supermen. It's finally done. Everything after this point is just upgrading and finetuning.Maybe a Lois or Supergirl someday...
>>11220441mcfarlane shouldve gone with reign designs, and not these awful redesigns. it wouldve been cheaper to do reign superboy, less plastic since reign Superboy doesnt have faggy spikes or that pouch. are you gonna recolor eradicators neck blue like in that poster? i hate steel's boxy S. what is that cyborg superman? awful shit.
>>11220436>>11220438>>11220441Those are really cool, man.
>>11220384>>11220436>>11220441The miniature buildings are a really clever idea. Curious to see how everything looks when you're done. Good job with the Cyborg Superman, too.
>>11220107But the blue alien pussy looks okay enough. Then he goes out of his way to make human (and Martian) girls look like garbage.
>>11220156>McFarlane is crazy enough to make tNEAL ADAMS PARADEMONS into toys?
>>11220290There's a lot of headcanonlike wrong info in here so don't take it too seriously , like he thinks the 2 pack had a new headsculpt when it didn't. It had different paint and plastic colors
>>11213636>>11213969>>11213632>Aquaman cursed>>11214000>Aquaman is growing on me
>>11220678I think Anthony would like these figures
>>11220679Buy an ad loser
>>11220680you realize that is satirizing Anthony for liking big bulky muscular unrealistic bodies, right?
>>11220700No they don't."You're a shill/buy an ad" posters are all autistic. They think we work for Nintendo because we like the wrong pokemon, essentially.
>>11220700No, it's annoying spam
>animated figures now 7in tallYour figures will scale with nothing and you will LIKE IT.
>>11220785Neca action figures are 7 inches
>>11220787The rest of the recent DC animated figures are 6in you colossal fucking retard
>>11220788And? Sucks to be poorfag you. McFarlane keeps on winning kek
>>11220785Is it gonna be the same shitty, greasy plastic?
>>11220791Look at the pants, you can clearly tell it is.
>>11220785Todd is slowly phasing out every possible figure line of his I would buy, saving me thousands. Thanks Todd.
>>11220785I feel dirty just looking at that thing.
>>11220809>saving me thousandsYou have a problem, anon.
>>11219838Looking pretty good, gonna try to replicate this if I find those figures on clearance
>>11220785Why do they keep pulling scales out of their asses?
>>11219822>Is the dc franchise cursed?YES.
>>11220870what's this guy problem? Doesn't he knows shadows occur naturally in the outwide world with any light source?
>>11220863Because Todd sucks
>>11220870Jeeeeesus what the fuck?
>>11220436You could make a backdrop with crystals, too.
>>11220700>liking big bulky muscular unrealistic bodiesI am the anon who posted that Aquaman picture and while I like all those McGuiness DC Directs, I like other things as well.This is a great DCD Green Lantern which is clearly a younger version of Hal by face, even masked, and definitely a slim body.
>>11220837Injustice is pretty easy to find. A custom head will cost you.>>11220879YEP>>11220789>keeps onNOPE
>>11220785It seemingly was a mistake https://x.com/mcfarlanetoys/status/1852758567155376353?s=19
>>11220989>>11220785I don't mind them continuing the PP but the comic books (and this is even as a comic book reader/fan) are mostly useless. It is fine if they do animated this way. They should do a Young Justice line, and a Batman BATB line and FINALLY do some fucking toys for My Adventures With Superman.I also wish they would do more of the tiny (3"?) figures, just not as PP, maybe as a 2pack set? I would easily buy say a Booster and Beetle, or a Robin (Dick) with Batgirl, or a Barry with Kid Flash, or a Zatanna and Con Job (you get my drift), for $9.99 to $12.99. You can't give 'em as gifts to kids though as unlike the Mattel DCUI's; arms pop off easily.Some young un would swallow that and choke to death and [spoiler]Todd would get raped in prison.[/spoiler]
>>11220870This should be considered a desecration.
>>11221023>>11221023>>11221023
>>11218031>>11217633Somewhere I have that in a box with my Joker figures. Haven't set them yp since I lasr moved.
>>11220789Who said anything about price?
