>>11246187>Can't even put the edition in the subject. You're really bad at this Jared.
>>11245617I thought so as well but in person, they're nowhere near as bad as they are on pictures. Best example would be Superman blue. In pictures and even irl, he looks really weird but once you pose him, the things don't even stand out. I do wish that Todd finally included some better alternatives. They basically only have to copy-paste from Jada anyway at this point>>11245973I'd literally buy that if the face didn't look hideous. Swear to god, Todd is such a cunt when it comes to mullet Superman>>11246187You really need to do better next time, man
$40, ETA Feb 2025
>>11246388Botched Batman headsculpt. Glad I got the older one. I think Mcfarlane must have lost their better sculpors except for a few, because most new sculpts I see from them are not too good.
We are so back
>>11246412What are the chances real Anthony now loves mcfarlanes vs the chances real Anthony is locked in a closet in BBTS' offices and they have a doppelganger doing these reviews?
>>11246412i was fucking right it is a good figurebtfo other guys bitching about it. picking him up after thanksgiving
>>11246451Enjoy your pixelated Batman, reddit.
>>11246451Nah it's trash he just has some weird boner for the crappy paint-scheme.
>>11246388I wish Todd would sell base packs, like those weapon sets
>>11246412Top kek it's time to admit this fucker got shit taste
>>11246412
>>11246187Who is the figure in red in the pic?
>>11246556I admit it, it's the end of the mystique around Anthony. He's approved of one too many shitty figures. There's literally no reviewer that will give a good critique now. Toy reviewers are just consumerist to the core.
>shills who get free toys promote new productsNo way
>>11246412>lipstick lips Batman>shitty barbie cape>ugly paintjobRetardation at its finest.
>>11246577Looks like the Crimson Guard from Operation Monster Force.
If someone told you the line would look like this at the end of 2024 back at the end of 2001 would you have believed them?
>>11246695I've been saying the line was trash since day one in 2020. So yes, I would've believed you.
>>11246700But now its classic trash instead of Death Metal trash
>>11246611Tell me about Super Bat Aqua Hawk Flash, why does he show the way?
Behold, the most powerful version of Superman ever made. Super Flying Torso Man. Based on the Indonesian creatures of Legend, the penanggalan, this superior creature levitates around villages at night, detached from its lower half. It is indestructible, its only weakness is its lower half which it hides while it is on the hunt.
>>11246766making a fleischer custom?
>>11246695It was bad from day 1.
>>11246695In 2001, figures had shitty articulation so yeah, I would have believed them if they had told me that articulation would get better but paint apps and quality control would get worse while inflation increased the prices. Sometimes, I'm amazed by how little people here know about business in general. You guys want perfect figures for 20-40 bucks yet complain when companies like Jada deliver great figures but take their time with releasing said products. It's either good quality control with a severly limited amount of releases or companies churning out figures with a lack of QC
>$250!??!?
>>11247233kek
>>11246493>>11246510im going to be lmaoing when todd re-releases this without the pixellated effect and every one 180s into thinking its the best thing ever
>>11247279No, it'll still suck. And have less to no paint.
>>11247281either you didnt read what i said or your just purposely trying to double down on hating it
>>11247279Dude it's still the same buck as Knightfall with a chestpiece for a cloth cape. Call me when it has thigh cuts, boot swivels, can lean forward, doesn't have ratcheted ankles and doesn't visibly break its wrists when articulating them. And get rid of that silly grimacing face with brown lipstick.
What figure are you thankful for, /toy/?
>>11247319Look at all that unpainted poorly sculpted plastic.
>>11247331>greatly sculpted plasticFixed
>>11247319i can barely tell what im looking at herefor me its still the sp line
>>11247353Superman with a steel fist punching
>>11247349The old comic Scarecrow designs were a bit...literal don't you guys think?
>>11247402That's why it was good.
>>11247421Why is that good?
>>11246412>>11247233>>11247499Detective Comics Comics: The General
>>11247525Why did they change their name to DC Comics? Should've called it D Comics.
>>11247402He was literally a disgruntled dude dressed as a scarecrow running around drugging folks into seeing their worst fears for kicks and profit. What'd you expect him to be with a name like The Scarecrow?
>>11247616I'm in favor of a bit more nuance to the look rather than just a generic scarecrow.
>>11247625Nah that's too much bullshit, looks like a manga villain. A simple Scarecrow design is perfect. That guy looks like Ronin Needle Fingers or something.
>>11247625Literally the worst
>>11247625Why does he get redesigned more than any other Bat baddie
>>11247632>>11247633Enjoy your boring designs I guess>>11247638Because there are a lot of possibilities for creativity.
>>11247644I do.
>>11247319Blue Azrael and Question were really lucky finds this year. Power Girl will be pretty rad.
>>11247644>Enjoy your boring designs I guessWe need todd to jokerize it and then he'll get the big bucks.
>>11247794No.
>>11247644This was the goat scarecrow design, he's never looked better.
>>11247625he looks more like mosquito man or something, neat but not quite right
>>11247847Yeah like call him the Hummingbird or something. He injects junkies with some drug that makes them addicted so that's how he gets henchmen. He should be a different villain instead of anime Arkham Scarecrow.
>>11246624It is. Pretty cool figure, lots of bits and hands and hoses.
>>11247402Comic books used to be good, yes.
>wake up >take huge shit while checking for black friday deals>nothingHasn't even been a good week for announcements. I guess kids don't want toys so there's no reason to put them on sale but damn
>>11246221>>11246309>>11247525>>11246611y'all need to stop encouraging that multiple tripfag/not a tripfag/jared op and stop engaging with this retardation entirely
>>11247791This.
>>11248048Some good capes in that pic.
>>11248048I'm still waiting for a normal Darkseid with no cape and no botched pixelated painted app.
>>11248778Im not a photographer. Cant really see a way to get darkseid on the back foot unless two supermen bull rush him. >>11248845Pixelated paint? Tell me what im not seeing. The figure itself is kinda wonky, his shoulders fall out every time i move it, stiff af too so i had to set it in front of a space heater to get it to relax. Are all mega figs like this?
>>11248845We got that
>>11249074Or i guess not not... Weird. Could've sworn I remember there being one with the cape and medallion.
>>11249075We did, I think it was Superpowers?
It's finally here boys
>>11249300
>>11249074No, we have a Darkseid with a doll cape >>11248048 and this shit >>11249301. I guess there are movie versions if someone is tasteless enough to display toys from Snyder movies.
>>11249301
>>11249301 orange man... bad?
You know he's just milking out these weirdo variants before he releases a definitive version.
>>11249546>thinking about the state of McFarlane Toys now compared to what we could be having if Todd still cared
>>11249546>definitive versionYes, I too will be waiting for jokerized darkseid, it will be glorious.
>>11248048Got that darkseid on sale did ye?>>11248170Online retailers mostly just dump ancient stock that doesn't move since its far more accessible than physical retail, meaning whatever won't sell online even is truly bottom of the barrel. So it isn't likely that you find great deals on black Friday online
>>11249301Todd's grapefruit is a god tier troll
>>11249546>a definitive version.There's no such thing in DCMulti.
What is this face even trying to convey?
>>11249301Death of New Gods Soulfire Darkseid is something I never thought I'd see get made...
>>11249550It was always bad
>>11249461You let this happen. You and you alone allowed this act, no, this attack on our senses to occur. I can smell the paint and i hold ypu responsible for this affront
>>11249301>I'm right hyeah! I'm hyeah! C'mon! KEEEL MEEE!
Just wipe the lipstick off
>>11250006
no
>>11250006>>11250007i dig the larger cape
>>11250006And the bee-sting mitts?
>>11250006>>11250007>using the Hush chest with the droopy Speople put so much effort into imitating Action Comics 1000 it's unreal
Is DCMV even worth collecting if you aren't a customizer?
>>11250096DCMV isn't worth collecting period.
>>11250006>>11250007fuck, i gotta order one
>>11250019I thought you faggots liked Street Fighter.
>>11250006>>11250007I like the frowny face actually, makes him look stern and kinda pissed.
>>11249301Who buys something like this?
>>11250354Same kind of faggots that wants a Superman with long hair.
>>11250486>T. Bald
>>11250096Some older figures and a select few newer ones are complete enough without customization. But more and more current figures need tweaks or entire new paint jobs.
>>11250354Some people like Starlin's New Gods stuff but he's too fedoracore for me.
>>11250517I was talking with my five year old nephew at Thanksgiving about what he's into. Apparently Dino Ranchers are the hottest thing ever. I tried asking him if he likes Batman or Superman but he said he's never heard of them.It's crazy that kids are growing up with zero awareness of Batman, when I was a kid there was always a kid or a movie coming out that dominated everything.It feels like the line is trying to appeal to aging collectors who already have a Darkseid so Todd is making niche variant shelf fillers >>11250548 the wider market doesn't care about. I guess it's smarter than operating under the delusion that there are new DC fans or kids who would want a villain to fight their hero figures.
>>11250559>Dino Ranchers are the hottest thing everhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rIwtQUgpLHg
>>11250565Damn, someone wasted their time making that?
>>11250568>T. Big angry dino daddy still looking for a child to kidnap
>>11249301>>11249546The orange one is so ugly, yet it somehow less ugly.
Close enough for Wally
>>11250655I don't know who this is.
thinking about opening hal jordan today but I'm not quite hungry enough for it yet
>>11250667Based.
>>11250655>those chicken legsAnd I don’t mean WallySquats and oats brehNice dubs tho
>>11250790it's a repost from redditbreh
>>11250559The kid is five. To be fair, I didn't know who Batman or Supeeman was until around that age. I genuinely don't remember what my first exposure to Batman was but it was around the time of Batman Forever being pushed hard, I was in first grade or so around that time.
>>11250565Genuinely how do you even know about these things? I hadn't even heard of Dino Ranchers until I read anons post.
>>11250811I have kids.
It is kind of crazy though that I can spend $100 on Dino Ranchers for my nephew and get like a whole ranch with a bunch of plastic playsets and like twenty dinosaurs but that same $100 would only get me three or four McFarlane platinum collector edition gold label Batman figures.Wouldn't even get me half of that $250 cardboard Joker movie playset.
>>11250559>btas disc shooter on heat scan batman>actual batman it belongs to is in frame
>>11250559your nephiew is full of shit and probably just didnt want to talk to you
>>11250655Wally's too fast his hairline couldn't keep up.
>>11250852Different markers. Those Dino Rancher toys are literally children's toys whereas Todd tries to push Multiverse as a premium collector brand. You may think they're equivalent but they're not.
>>11250859That's the point I'm making. The most I paid for a Dino Ranch set was like $30 and it came with two dinos and a giant plastic building, I think the main ranch.For the same amount of plastic and paint Todd is selling a Joker set for $250.For $30 you get a figure that might be half painted and a bunch of unnecessary shit like card stands instead of a 3D base for these supposed premium collectibles to stand on. I know why it's like this, Todd is hyping his products as something special, it's nothing new, but damn you realize how rank his bullshit is when you buy other toys besides Todd's slop.
>>11250866Anon, these are barely articulated with no paint. You're being stupid.
>>11250866Yeah Todd loves fucking us over and making things miserable for everyone.
>>11250655Looks like Victor Von Doom
>>11250910aquaman if he dethklok
>>11250917Brutal
The Task Force wave seems to be doing rather poorly compared to other DCMV figures. Can't say I'm surprised for a forgotten SNES game from the 90s.
>>11250924It's because of the paint job. If they hadn't went with pixelation they would've done fine.
>>11250924citation needed
>>11250936one posted butt hurt him so bad he has to constantly point out he's butthurt every couple of posts
>>11250917MURMAIDER MURMAIDER MURMAIDER MURMAIDER
>>11250938
>>11250924Because it looks like microwaved dog shit.
>>11250559IPs all have a lifespan. Some are longer than others. There was a time in the 70s when Batman was in danger of being canceled. It only gained popularity as the world became more horrific and dark along with Batman's stories. Eventually Batman will fade away.
>>11250948And is overpriced
>>11250992Batman is already fading away. No new movies, no good cartoons, only tv show is some Sopranos knockoff. Dead and irrelevant.
>raised watching special features on DVDs saying DC is modern mythology >it'll be a forgotten IP like masters of the universe or a zombie franchise like star trek within our lifetimeRealistically speaking, is DCMV going to be the final DC toyline?
>>11250992>>11251043>>11251040They brought this doom upon themselves. It's honestly impressive how much they continue to alienate and divide the remaining fans they still have. Even the new Superman movie has zero hype beyond exhausted sighs from people like me who will still give it a chance even though we know it'll be brainrot.
>>11250910Why did you pose them like they are trying to hold each other hands but are too embarrassed to make the first move?
>>11251122
>>11251148
>>11251055Not into modern comics but all I know is that creative companies in general are filled with nitwits who have no idea about great storytelling.I'm all for putting diverse people in charge of headlining their own stories. Make them write about stories they care about but make them create new characters and let them explore the world. Don't force shitty quotas onto them so they feel they have to write characters from subcultures they know nothing about. That's how usually older characters end up being gay and fans uninterested. If you write a minority character from scratch, fans usually have not that much against it. Also, know your damn customer base. You're not going to generate the big bucks if you write generic stories about a gay character if your customer base consists of 90% heteros, even gay people understand this>>11250924Because they never listen. Having not only the pixel art but also terrible faces simply doesn't sell. Just look at Instagram comments, people are fed up with terrible headsculpts and paintjobs
>>11251148Who allowed for these hand sculpts to happen? They're just so fat and stubby. Like wads of dough.
>>11251370I theorize that different people sculpt different parts of even an all new mcfarlane figure, so the guy doing the hands doesn't know what the guy doing the head is doing.
>>11251569
>>11251569Crap
>>11251580>T. Not brave or bold
>>11251574Do you Todd pats himself on the back for all the diaper variants?
>>11249658>Look at this shitty fucking elbow they gave me
>>11251690Do you even English?
>>11251690Todd has nothing to do with this line anymore. he is probably as disgusted by the ugly crap that gets churned out as anyone but thats what the customer wants, so that is what is made.
>>11251750Do you?
>>11251757his phrasing is actually an intentional memetic way of saying such things. i think the origin was like "do you even lift, bro?" and it spread from there
Holy crap what a deal!
>>11251786>Explaining things to our resident PajeetHe’s not gonna get it, you can tell who he is by his ESL tier posts
>>11251803Todd truly is King of Kings. What a great move by the Canadian Wonder.
>>11251941He is pricing things in USD what they would be in Canadan dollars. Truly a strange and shocking business strategy.
>>11251757>>11251786>>11251832it's not a meme, dumbasses. >>11251690just forgot to type "think."
>>11251941>>11252177> amazon changes the price of a product they just had reduced for sale> this is todd's fault
>>11252238Sounds like they should think more
>>11252238>>11252260>>11251690Samefag
>>11252285Retarded faggot
>>11252285missed me
>>11252177Todd is just ahead of the curve.
Ross: where Mcfarlane goes to die
>>11252887I just checked Todd's Instagram and it's just cowls and shit. What a weird way for a toy company to operate during the holidays.
>>11252895The toys are on clearance, cowls are where it is at now
>>11252919Good luck with that.
WHEN
>>11253098You can buy prints of headsculpts on Etsy and eBay.
>>11253098Why was the cg in that movie so awful? It's like they hired a bunch of people still learning how to use Photoshop.
Jesus smiled upon me as a miracle happened: I found fucking DC Multiverse Question at my local Wal-Mart!!!!!! Someone had hidden both Question and the Morrison Seven Soldiers Shining Knight were hidden away on the top shelf of the action figure aisle above the GI Joe and Masters of the Universe stuff. I grabbed both of them, put Shining Knight with the rest of the figures and skipped down the aisle to buy my holy grail figure. Glad in hindsight that I waited and didn't spend $70-100 for him when he first came out months earlier.
I do find it funny they used the default blue suit instead of the brown outfit from the Veitch mini that is used for the box and card artwork. He's a good figure but I will concede the shadow over the blank face is pretty shitty.
>>11246187Where I got my first Batman toy. too bad the closed decades ago in my area.
>>11253173The directo said in interviews he wanted to look uncanny. Don't know if he is a shitty liar or just a shitty director, I'd say he's both.
>>11253178>>11253181Nice
Fucking when Todd?!!
>there’s no McFarlane general >seems like this is basically it Warning: massive blog post incoming >be me early teens, Spawn comes out, amazed >wow these toys are amazing>HBO Spawn cartoon drops, Todd becomes my idol and whom I aspire to be like when I grow up. Teaches me about entrepreneurship and taking on the big guys, two things my good goy father failed to ever mention Fast forward a couple years >find imports >start ravenously collecting early Kaiyodo and the first Revoltechs >Todd’s figures are now dated, shitty, and fragile by comparison >Todd becomes embroiled in multiple legal battles making him look like a piece of shit >Meet him at several conventions and he treats me like garbage every time >fast forward to 2 years before McFarlane toys comeback >find one of Todd’s latest videos with very little engagement >write Todd a 5 paragraph message detailing exactly why he sucks, every action he needs to take to make a comeback and a plea to hire me >he proceeds to take every last iota of my advice and reboots his toy company to massive success I am single handedly responsible for lighting a fire under his ass. Does he post here like Randy? Todd I still want to work for you man. There is a shitload of room for improvement still
Amazon Exclusive - Dec 10th
>>11253501>Meet him at several conventions and he treats me like garbage every timeWhat did he do?
>massive room for improvement What in the ever living fuck was going on with their My Hero figures? >just getting into MHA>holy fucking shit the late tax on all the imports is insane >buy a lot of almost every McFarlane figure for $5 each These figures range from mediocre to phenomenal. None of them are terrible but there is a massive quality jump toward the end of the series. What a disjointed line it is. At least 2 of the figures, Hawks and Eraser, rival Figuarts in terms of engineering and quality. That line is completely dead, ya? Looks like Bandai got it now
>>11253505He is extremely strict about his appearance times. If he is supposed to be there for one hour he will be there 10-20 min late and then the second the clock strikes the end of the advertised time he gets up and walks away. It does not matter how many people are still waiting to see him he just ghosts. If you are able to catch him you can barely get more than two words out of him. He is super cold like a robot, scribbles on your stuff and one of his elves shuffles you off. One of the times I met him I don’t think he ever actually looked at me much less make eye contact
>>11253505He probably asked him to sign art that wasn't he's. I've seen people bring venom pictures from different artists thinking he'd sign it since he created venom but nope. Todd is very autistic and remembers that shit.
>>11253510https://youtu.be/VSmCKuOoc_Y?si=GmVQfLZOyeYsGss9
>>11253510I am certain he remembers my message to him on YouTube since it has made him millions of dollars. Or did he forget?
>>11253501so you're the one to blame for 7 inch dc figs?
>>11253514Shut up Anthony
