You know who needs a mecha? Yeah.
Probably one of the best darkseids I've seen.
Dead general with a faggot opSuck my fucking cock Jarret
>>11586737This is why I enjoy popping in and out of these threads. DC, really does bring out the schizos and retards more than maybe even the NECA fags.
>>11586748Many battles have been fought here. My toys don't even fight as hard as the anons here.Sometimes the good guy and bad guy will team up and become shelf buddies for a while then they go back to their normal places on the displays.Not here. Entire world wars have been started and ended in the timeframe schizos will hold grudges here. Is it truly going to be this way until the end of time? There are fewer of us here everyday, it seems strange to want to keep having meltdowns until the end of time.
>>11586775>AI slop image>ChatGPT tier postingYou really are insufferable dude. Could you just not be an annoying attention whore for just a minute?
>>11586748well there's multiple weirdos here but only one obnoxious neca fag>>11586721i looked at this today and it's. .. fine? it's certainly not impressive.
>>11586699So you just copy pasted my old op announcements without even any editing or adding anything? Guess it's a good thing I was sleeping when it was time to make a new thread since it saved me from that aggravation.
>>11586775Yeah dude, don't run any more of my pics through AI. Not really a fan of that stuff and it isn't really ok to be running other people's pics through that shit.
Walmart collector con is coming up, anything you want to waste your time trying to buy? Me? Id like the red tornado since i missed out on it or maybe even bane but i dont expect ill actually get either of them.
>>11586890run all of this fag’s pictures though AI.
>>11586902Don't worry about it. I've decided this general isn't worth contributing to anymore anyway.
>>11586775What the fuck!? I love McFarland now
>>11586911And Jarret drives away another toy poster. Great. These threads suck.
>>11586890nta but put a watermark on your shit if you're that touchy about it.
>>11586775Don't worry, this will become Inart/Lpzz gen once Mattel has the license back
>>11586893Was considering Blackfire until I saw it was low effort reuse so decided to pass. That might work for $20 but not $28.
>>11587154Im only interested in red tornado, bane is a maybe, the rest ill pass.
Lol
>>11587199I'd be embarrassed to own either of those.
>>11586775based power girl poster
>>11587201That's a you problem honestly.
>>11587199They did a better job with the retro line btw
>>11584945>You DO have a loyalty card.Don't confuse me with the attention whore, the patio patrol, the poor, or any of the other psychos here. I don't have any WM's near and the nearest large Target also is in a mall with a GS and I do have several smaller GS near where I go regularly on contract and home. I don't even play vidya.>>11586721>>11586822I think I have this one sitting in a box somewhere. I really need to unload some of this crap when the fire fighters have their toy drive this winter.
>still no review on the new mullet Superman or Joker>still no review or hands on of the new PeacemakerHoly shit, I said it last thread but it really feels like Mcfarlanes are fucking dead. No wonder these threads are fucking shit and nobody posts pictures of their figs anymore. Nobody is buying shit, everyone has been priced out. Peacemaker has been out for weeks and the only vids I can find of him are short YouTube bids of the fig spinning.
>>11587266No one posts pictures because either some sperg will run your pictures through AI and claim they're his or people will sperg out because you didn't bend Green Lantern's elbow enough. Honestly, you fags deserve this.
>>11587266Between mcfarlane and gunn the air has been sucked out of dc
>>11587272The only sperg here is you.
>>11587305>No UReally seems like the shitters are like five year olds.
>>11587313He posts while shitting himself over his toy's soul being stolen by someone else.
>>11587319Literally what? Are you high, schizophrenic or just fucking retarded?
You will never be lonely with jesus in heart and dc gen on your screen.
>>11587266>>11587272I haven't bought those specific figures you're asking about, but I also haven't really been excited enough about any of my recent purchases to waste the time and energy to take them out of the packages. I took the Coronswet super powers out because I've been assembling the Spin Master Robot #4 and I wanted to see how much taller the Robot was and still debating if I want that fucking overpriced fortress or not. But otherwise, I am happy with the toys I have on display and have no desire to take out McFarts and make room for them.
>>11587266Anon, the only ones buying new McFarlanes are scalpers. They are an investment. Really this line is so extreme. It started as wacky crazy designs, many very modern and obscure but easy to get and customer friendly. Then it became a no fun allowed weird investment scam by the line end.
Thanks, Todd?
>>11586877some of these didnt pegwarm -- a testament to Todds low production runs
>>11587492I think they are worse than Hasbro with mold reuse now. Something real crazy must have gone down at Mcfarlane Toys in the past few years.Everything is just:Reuse mold, Repeat, Reuse mold, Repeat, etc.When I saw a new mold like Scarecrow I could not believe it, my brain would not register it, it kept looking for some way it was reuse from some other figure
>>11587462>Anon, the only ones buying new McFarlanes are scalpers. They are an investment.It's really sad, I buy Mcfarlanes because I genuinely love DC and the characters. I love to see characters I love in figure form. I mean the fact that we can buy an ambush bug figure In stores in 2025 is so cool.It's sad to see something you love overrun by absolute faggots who just see the figures as a money flip. Get a fucking job!
>>11587525Older comics mean value. So catering to collectors of older comic characters leads to predatory, money hungry business practices like flipping and scalping.The only way to have a fun line devoid of problems is either original IP or just base it on new storylines that no scalper in their right mind would go near.
>>11587492>This piece of shit got a wire
>>11587525I've been tempted to go down the McFarlane road, but every time I got a figure from him, I was always met with some level of disappointment. Figures like Question, and Blue Beetle and Booster Gold getting figures sure did tempt me, and I'll admit the Blue Cowl DickBats I passed on last year or whenever it was out, did look good, but I just knew I'd not like it for one reason or another. I'll stick to my lane and just keep getting imports. Maybe some Mattel stuff if it scales with the rest of my collection.
>>11587536The guy who ran the line early on and planned the early waves was leagues better than whoever runs it now.
>>11586699Does anyone have the barcode on the back of the packaging for the crises of infinite earths joker? Its supposedly showing up at walmart already and i want a pic of the barcode
Does anyone know who is the sculptor for McFarlane heads? Because they should be tarred and feathered. SHIT HEAD SCULPTS.
>>11587493The point of that photo is that someone at McFarts Toy Store decided they needed to bundle these together to unload them. Even his overheated, rat-infested toe fungus engorged warehouse spaces in Arizona and Nevada have only so much room for greasy boxed-up plastic garbage.
>>11587492Jesus, those eyes. It's like the figure had a soul trapped in there and they let it out just before taking this pic.>>11587494Not only that, it's the lazyness of the whole thing. Even if Hasbro reuses a lot they kind try to cover that with overlays that really change the figure, but McFarlane figures in the last two years look like classic Masters of the Universe where everyone had that one muscular body with just different heads and shoulders.
He stares endlessly at McFarlane Toys, wondering, what might have been...
>>11587665
>>11587665I went ahead and added some 4k upscaling and ai textures to this one guys.
>>11587665Insider here, >#
>>11587199Man, this Cheetah's disappointing. Easily one of her worst figures aesthetically I've seen. When it was leaked I was thinking I'd finally get a replacement for the DC Essentials one I missed out on, but I guess not.
>>11587713War never changes.
just saw three mister miracles at target. if I cared at all, I’d be disappointed he has a plastic cape. they also had this >>11586721 , which looks fine, but I’m not buying a giant box of sonic trash just to get it.
Gotta get a red robin. Had one for a while and lost him in a move. Such a pretty boy.
Here's a list of what's going up for preorder on the 10th (usually at noon EST):>Spectre and Atom Smasher two-pack>Dark Flash>Guardian>Batman and Batcycle (Flash movie)>TAS Man-Bat>Blackfire>Red Tornado>purple BatgirlI ordered an Alfred today to use as an old Ted Knight. All the tools he comes with are pretty cool, and I'm hoping the botched face sculpt doesn't look like too much like Jeremy Irons. Even if it does, Jeremy Irons would be a sick Ted Knight.
>>11587801huh?
>>11587492>>11587655>Jesus, those eyes.
>>11587801>Jarret is pretending to be an insider now Brah you are the worst.
>>11587853Crazy how literally one sperg turned the whole thread to shit. I don't recall the threads being so bad before he showed up around the time they were filming rh Superman movie. He was being an attention whore then too.
>>11587801Red platinums on preorder outside gamestop?
>>11587795That is pretty nice, ive got the jokerized version seered into my brain so to see the orifinal is like a breath of fresh air in a way.
>>11587494>Everything is just:>Reuse mold, Repeat, Reuse mold, Repeat, etc.It's Todd's fucking fault for not making anything a decent buck to begin with. He deserves this.>>11587552What the... a gun?
Ok, so who is riding to target with me? There are 1,000 road projects all underway now due to govt silly billys so it might take an extra 30 mins to get there. I do not expect to find anything but as always i will buy you a starbuck for keeping me company.
>>11587971nta I actually like this one, just because you could kinda maybe fudge a reason for it.
>>11587997Bitch, I'm going to go Walmart to Target in a little bit actually. It's a beautiful day today and I can get some steps in.
>>11587999I liked the lil demented robin, wish i had bought it honestly but it would make no sense on my shelf. I liked that king robin also, but im not sure of the names since i didnt read any of those stories. >>11588005Cool, there is the biggest walmart in this region like 5 mins away from target. You wanna meet up at the goodwill? It is a nice day, and while i have a physical job and do not need any steps its better that i leave the house for a few hours otherwise ill just get mad i sat around all day.
>>11588012I meant I am going to go walk to Target. My phone autocorrected it to Walmart somehow. And no, I'm not going to Goodwill, not only do they smell, but they're rip offs and often sell old used shit for more than you can get it new. I stopped donating to them after I moved last year, I don't think I'm going to again, unless it's to use them as a glorified dumpster.
>>11588012Also, no one cares that you change tires Jarret.
New spin master reveal
>>11588062Who is this shit even for? I grew up with a bunch of Batman Forever toys, the penismobile was my Batmobile as a kid, so you'd think their Batman Forever retro line would've appealed to me, and honestly, I just couldn't care. Yeah, I got a slight sense of nostalgia when looking at the figures, but upon closer inspection they just weren't quite the same as what I had as a kid. Like a weird facsimile of what I grew up with. I can't be the only one who felt that way about the Forever line, and this looks to be more of the same. I question who buys these, but I don' think many do since the Forever stuff rotted at my local stores. Maybe 89 will fare better, but who can say?
>>11588062>too cheap to pay even Tracey Walter
>>11587853All of those dates are publicly available, dumb fucking retard. You stupid cunts screech about info not being updated then reply "huh?" when someone gives you clear preorder dates and times. Amazing.
A blue eradicator and 3 red platinum super friends riddlers. Total fucking bust.
>>11587801I don't need a gold Captain America but I kind of want one.
>>11588065Batman fans are getting older and there aren't any new ones to replace them. The Arkham games are over ten years old. The last couple movies he's been a side character who just growls and drives a tank around between weird speeches about teamwork. We grew up with the Timm cartoons but what is there for kids to like about the character?
>>11588111>you'll live to see Batman and DC become a dead franchise like Indiana Jones and Star Wars
>last thread had a fuck ton reveals >nobody talked about them>this thread >garbage Todd slop >faggots just being faggots bitching
Just got back from Target. It was a nice day, saw a homeless man wandering in the middle of the busy road during rush hour rambling to himself, so that was fun. Sandman seems to be hitting if anyone is looking, I'm not a McFart smeller so I left them for the next collector and got the Target exclusive ML Storm and Devastation Sideswipe instead.
>>11588113>someone used a face from my Gardner collectionI feel semi-famous.
>>11588127>reveals>a bunch of chink and japshit based on the same old tacticool Batman designs and Snyder trashbut why did no one talk about them?!
>>11588071Well, yea, these are $8 kids toys not nerd cred Super7 collectibles for $26.
>>11588062Wow, this box art is quite....well, bless the artists hearts. Im sure their parents are very proud and have these hanging on their refridgerators.
>>11588228Looks AI generated tbqh
>>11588062This screams AI generated.
>>11588222NO kid wants this.
>>11587999Return of the Joker Tim Drake
>>11588228>>11588232>>11588234Nah it's just soulless CAD sculpting
>>11588062OH SHIT IT'S REAL!https://toynewsi.com/292-60132
>>11588261Its awful, even for a budget toyline. The dollar tree final faction figures had better cardbacks, these look like a bootleg chinese reaction knock off. I hate bashing anyones effort but there simply was no effort put into this.
>>11588299I'm pretty sure they're meant to just stay in the packaging, r-right?
>>11588261Not the toys, the art for the boxes looks AI generated.
>>11587997Ollies is a better deal if you're looking for domestics at prices closer to what they are worth
>>11588302the art is just an image of the soulless CAD sculpt with a bunch of lighting. Thats why it looks so bad. The sculpts just inherently aren't good and too soft and smooth. Chip Kidd often takes pics of toys for his books, and they look charming because the sculpts have some liveliness to them that makes them look good under the lighting. But these just feel like amateur projects. just the bare minimum because they didn't think old style toys needed much work(even though the simplistic look of older toys is more due to molding being unable to capture subtle sculpt work than a lack of skill)
>>11588218People here want classic looks to relish their past, not actual cool looking modern toys
>>11588313>not actual cool looking modern toysThey aren't, though. Tacticool stuff all looks the same. At least classic looks are distinctive.
>>11588313tacticool batman is the worst along with black suit batman and i blame burton and nolan for that shit.
>>11588363I think Dark Knight Returns really had more of an influence there.
What time is the ML panel tomorrow?
>>11588368DKR has Batman using his 1950's suit, not tacticool or all black.
>>11588140Wish you had photographed the Sonic/DC collab, I'd like to see what those look like, especially in comparison to the rest size and appearance wise, even if it's in the package. >>11588062Nothing I want but it would be nice if they get to do the second Superman movie and do Ursa and Non, a different Lois and maybe a Jimmy or a Perry or both. A different Clark wouldn't be bad. They already did Zod with the first series. >>11588305Ollie's aren't everywhere, only 5 Below has that kind of reach. The only thing some people statewide can depend on is Ross and the rare times Burlington carries anything DC.
>>11588222these aren't for kids. they're for big bellied bearded balding boys and their nostalgia.
So I ended up watching an auction on ebay of Max Mercury for the lulz even though I got him for 8 bucks at Walmart.And it paid off in spades.Ebay is a literal madhouse, do these people not know this figure is worth nothing? It was clearanced at Walmart for 8 bucks and is still available at Walmart for like 17-18.What the fuck?
>>11588363>not even liking cultural touchstones like Burton and Nolan BatmanWeird
For people not liking the lack of reviews, there is a Swolecrow review out there. I was thinking it was a freebie but there was enough critiques in there that it seems like a legit review, especially pointing out he can't stand.
>>11588422never said that, I enjoy the films. But the suits can eat a fat dick.
Would anyone really want this creepy Hal staring at them from the corner of their room?Fitting Halloween preorder drop I guess.
>>11588507If you're a fan of the original comic, yeah I can see why you'd want this. Sorry you're a casual who never read Emerald Twilight.
>>11588510I actually did although not in its historical context. But it makes for a very creepy 3D creature. I'd say leave it 2D
>>11588313Yeah weird how people want good figures of the normal looks the characters have had for the majority of their lifetime and not Death Metal Hellskull Screaming Penis Batman from one panel of issue 3 of a comic arc from 2020.
>>11588507He can ring finger you
>>11588538>people want good figuresSo explain why they aren't buying imports but instead buy mcfarlanes and mattels?
>>11588557A lot of people in these threads buy imports, you just scream and shit your pants until they leave because talking about them gets in the way of complaining about todd's figgers 24/7
>>11588561But then when an import company produces a bunch of weird looks and only a couple classic looks, people don't even really discuss the classic looks they previewed. I wonder why.
>>11588562Because no one gives a fuck about those Chinese companies. Half the time their licensing restrictions prevent them from even selling the figures in the US, forcing you to import them. At least with Jap figures they can still sell them in the US through US retailers.
>>11588568Dude, it's easy to buy imports, why do you act like it's impossible?
>>11588570I don't like having to use AliExpress or some weird website I've never heard of. At least Jap import sites have reputations to back then up vs some website that was set up in the past month because these companies need to switch names all the time.
>>11588570At the very least, it's more difficult with tarrifs nowdays.
>>11588571There's some weird websites that have long track records. Toytubers even speak of them.
>>11588586>There's some weird websites that have long track records. Toytubers even speak of them.I don't trust YouTubers. They're shills. Sorry anon, you're not going to get me to care about your chinkshit. I'll stick to my superior Nippon plastic thank you.
>>11588406EB is also full of idiots who place bids and then never pay. Some sellers have their friends bid up shit and then of course need to 'cancel' the bid and offer it to the next loser - and some idiots will agree to this even though if they paid attention, they could tell when this shysterism started. I always tell them to repost the listing and I'll bid then if I don't find it elsewhere for a better price.
Would you buy an $80 Spectre that looks horrible?
>>11588310The tools have not fundamentally changed. They were always able to capture a high level of fine detail. It's just that the companies in the 80s didn't believe they could. McFarlane toys and others challenged these preconceived notions of what was possible
>>11588143I have a subfolder of just Guy toy reaction images.I like to use OC people contribute but some anons are afraid I'm stealing their toys' souls when I use their pics.Which is absurd, my astral showcase is already a cluttered hoarder mess.
>>11588140It's nice to see prices of sandman/mister miracle go down on eBay/mercari from $80 to $35 now that they're widely available Still a rip off but it's better now for people who don't have targets.
>>11588840He's up there with Brainiac, Power Girl, and Fleischer Supes as one of Todd's best DC figures. I way overpaid for mine but everywhere within 50 miles of me stopped stocking new figures and I didn't know if he was going to turn into some instant scalper grail like Question.Speaking of Question and Sandman, they've formed a private detective agency with Ted Knight. Jubilee is the secretary.
>>11588848You're such a gaywad.
>>11588645No. You could try to convince me its some golden age look but im still not buying it, especially with a shelf warmer mega fig. But its a walmart exclusive collector con figure so no one who wants it will get it.
Sandman’s gun looks so bad. Whoever designed this figure clearly took Riley Rossmo’s art too literally. Literally a revolver with a soup can. I know Wesley’s gun is sometimes modeled as a revolver in the comics, but it’s still proportional to the big gas canister.
>>11588848Starman will be announced this weekend.
Is Todd not doing anything for NYCC?
>>11589504His company blew the convention budget on black tablecloths for their SDCC displays.
>>11589336>Whoever designed this figure clearly took Riley Rossmo’s art too literally.What a bizarre complaint. Do you like the extra panelling and stuff like that that Todd does with his figures?
>>11589552He just likes to bitch about toys no one is forcing him to buy.
>>11581842>gay Aquaboy>holding a wienersubtle
>>11589552What are you talking about? I really enjoyed the art on the recent miniseries. I just think the Rossmo-inspired proportions of the gun paired with a more regular looking person is odd.
>>11589628Or rather, the barrel of the gun, not the entire gun.
>>11589628Well, you're always going to find something to bitch about.
>>11588848>>11588074Go away, attention whorePeople are tired of your BS, Jared
>>11589708I think it’s a flaw with the figure. I can’t help it.
Dc is so fucking dead holy shit lmao
>>11588507Jesus Christ. one, that looks awfultwo, these really limited sculpt things like this or that red kingdom come Superman make no sense to me as action figures. it’s fine for a statue but wtf are you supposed to do with this figure beyond that one iconic pose that it doesn’t even pull off
