the wait is finally over editionprevious: >>11733877
seeing these in person, i don't really see any noticeable difference with the regular version i have at home
>>11737957The ankles on that one have the boot wrinkles even though they're painted like stockings. The only reason to buy that is for a headswap, but I'm pretty convinced they both have the same head and it's just lighting.
>>11737961oh whoops, forgot to type "head" when saying i didn't see a difference. obviously i dont keep my zatanna in my pocket so i couldn't compare them in the aisle, but any difference has gotta be so subtle that i can't believe they'd actually bother to make it.
fuck i also forgot to ask if anybody has any ideas for how to make a tiny magnifying glass accessory. i have a goofy old spy vs spy one somewhere but my old dcuc question is holding it and i have no idea where that even is. i feel like there's gotta be something obvious for a tiny plastic hoop that i'm just not thinking of.
>>11737993For the cost of about eight or nine McFarlanes you could get a printer and make all the magnifying glasses, guns, and accessories you can imagine.
>>11737993>>11738004Damn it, wrong file. Meant to post these Catwoman heads. My buddy is printing batsignals they'll be standing on.Buy a printer and know true freedom, brother.
>>11737901>They put it in console bundled and count those as sales.That's fair. If someone really didn't want the game they could've just not bought the bundle or bought another one.>And during covid gave it out for free for some sort of covid stay st home bullshit. And those do count as sales.No they don't. Free games, Game Pass/PS Premium aren't counted in sales figures.>Why are you even talking about that dad hideous bitch her face is more fucked up than a McFarlane womanI don't give two shits about Aloy. It was in response to the original retarded post about video games with female protagonists not selling. Done talking about this since we're beyond off-topic at this point.
>>11738007>Buy a printer and know true freedom, brother.consider this: i don't want to. i want a tiny toy magnifying glass.
>>11737662What exactly do you mean they are doubling down? This has been Beast Kingdom's pricing for DC figures to begin with, no? Now Hasbro and McFarlane have been increasing prices but posting Beast Kingdom does kinda make you look stupid when their DC line has been selling on Aliexpress for 45-50 bucks since the very start
>>11737993>fuck i also forgot to ask my only friend, Google, if it had any ideas on ... magnifying glass accessories
>>11738065>This has been Beast Kingdom's pricing for DC figures to begin with, no?Yep, pretty much. The licensed ("facial representation") stuff (e.g. typically movie stuff) is always higher, and something tagged "Deluxe" is always higher - but you get some added value like extra accessories, etc. Darkseid was higher but he's also kinda like Todd's Mega Figs and was almost 9" - so that one had some logic behind it. I paid $70 for the Composite Superman/Batman but that was also done with Diamond Select so I expected it to be more than the recent JL figures (which yes, have fallen around $45-$55), but I just noticed some DC stuff on BBTS was wierdly high. The Lobo for example, which is listed as a deluxe and could also be a Mega Fig type example, although it's still only 8" and I think people would have preferred the Dog AND a Motorcycle for that amount of money.
>>11737957One has a yellow corset and its monkey pal is wearing a different colored suit,?
>>11737912NOOOO STARLORD IS RUINED FOREVERR
>>11738004id rather not give myself cancer for temu tier garbage
>>11737993Just buy one of these from Wal-Mart. Each one comes with a little magnifying glass, so do the book ones.
>>11737961The heads are different. Reg has a manjaw, the plat doesn't
>>11738065And if other companies hadn't jacked up prices it would've been started at 37 instead of 47.
>>11738200everything pictured is inside one of those things?I thought it was just one item -- and you had to keep buying, buying, buying until you got what you actually wanted?wake me up when one of them has beakers and test tubes my council of mad scientist Lex Luthor's need some props
>>11737912Starman Jack preorder isn't today
>>11737912Not much of a DC buff, is that supposed to be the Riddler in the OP? He looks retarded.
Why would people pay 14k yen for this figure? It's been 3-4 years since the movie.
>>11738215NtA, but no. You get 2-3 paintings and maybe a statue, a magnifying glass and either an easel, paint palette or a crate and crowbar.
>>11738215>wake me up when one of them has beakers and test tubes>my council of mad scientist Lex Luthor's need some propsMiniverse Make It Harry Potter Potions, toy bro.
>>11738225Best figure you're likely going to get, if you're a fan. I don't see that not getting reduced in price, however.
>>11738225Yeah, I'd pay that much to crap on it just like he crap all over the wrestlemania main event last year. I hope id you do order it you get a travis Scott instead.
McFarlane actually won 2 awards for the overpriced Batman Returns wave. This is apparently what the companies that organize these 'awards' value. Maybe they went by gross profit.
>>11738247its a good wave
>>11738247NOOOOOOO!!!
>>11738257Most of the wave can't even pose well for $35. Catwoman comes with a whip and a tiny chunk of plastic shaped like a taser and Max comes with just a prune head
>>11738272once my walmart stocks them next year im buying all of them
>>11738278Your Walmart sure is behind.Also they'd be banned from stocking McFarlanes DCMV in 2027 due to Mattel
Will you buy Grandma Canary?
>>11738288without her jacket she looks like a giant pitslut, so maybe. def finding a different head though
>>11738292She wants to speak to your manager
>>11738288Eh.....for my birds of prey I guess. More into lobo and vigilante and maybe freddy but idk if Todd will reissue Shazam or not.
Nice elbows
>>11738295Also looks literally nothing like Nicholson so I don't see why to buy it.
>>11738295mike mattei finally made it brosthe plat should have been this since its also the technically not jack and official (cant find the og artwork but this is basically the same picture)>>11738296its not supposed to (legally)
Yeah I'm passing on Canary, no headsculpt looks right for her and she's on the horrible WW CE buck
>>11738299Just realized the plat for 89 is going to be this, hope they do it right cause the hottoys ones really gave this scheme a bad rep
>>11738280thats not how it works. the gamestop by me is still selling dc icons
Todd's drop destroyed BBTS: "The service is unavailable."I assume its due to the Joker, not Canary
>>11738306Thats only because they got the DC Icons before the line disappeared or are selling them unofficially as preowned. But Walmart and Target dont stock stuff like that. Only gamestop does.
Why do I have no real affinity for Nicholson's Joker even though I saw the movie in its historical context? Did Hamill just blow him out of the water so bad in TAS I didn't really care?
>>11738288Just got her for $25 at WalmartDoesn't ship till next month but hey I can't complain for the price.
>>11738317It's 35 bro
>>11738318Not for me, I don't pay full price for figs.
>>11738319Yeah sure keep living in your hallucination where Walmart gives you special pricing (and it isn't even Walmart but Todd's store handling it through walmart)
>>11738320>Yeah sure keep living in your hallucination where Walmart gives you special pricingThey literally do though? They specifically gave me a $10 discount so I only payed $25.
>>11738323Should've bought 10 more and scalped them
EXCELSIOR!
>>11738325I'm happy Todd actually gave us a Bueno Excellente figure. Finally us Section 8 chads are given something. In the same wave we get Lobo no less, Amazing! Thank you Todd.
>>11738323NOOOOOO!!EVERYTHING BAD!!COUPONS DONT EXIST
Does Blacked Canary use the Wonder Woman buck? If so I really hope she doesn't look too massive next to my Green Arrow.
>>11738332You don't get coupons on new preorders and no one posted a screenshot, so it doesn't exist.>>11738334 yes she is using the WW CE buck which you can tell by the ugly knees and arm cuts
>>11738325So is this where all the money from the price increases on these figures is going?
I decided to put the money I was going to spend on Black Canary towards X-23. Good or bad decision?
>>11738344Just saw her at Walmart she looks great. Shame both faces are exactly the same
>>11738295Love that Joker!
>>11738293buy her a shot of sailor jerry and light her pall mall and she’s yours for the night
>>11738364Yo! My kinda broad!
So what's the damage guys? I ordered vigilante, the milf and lobo, I got supergirl too but I may cancel.
>>11738371I only got Blacked Canary, everyone else looks like shit. Might get Lobo when he's on clearance.
>>11738325Doodler, I need shf corenswet superman head on blokees.
>>11738371I was only lurking to see if Starman popped up. Ah well, already been waiting six months, what's another eight or nine?
>>11738384We know, you remind us literally every day
>>11738384god your such a faggot
are the Mongul and Gangbuster preorders tomorrow, or later?
>>11738380Just head
>>11738380>>11738403Head and neck
>>11738403I hate that there's no other DC figs by Blokees. This Superman is genuinely so good and it sucks that he's just alone. Put the 6 inch spinmaster guy gardner and mister terrific next to him and they don't look bad so they'll do for now I guess
..why? the Blokees head is a much better likeness. he doesn’t look like shooter mcgavin, for instance
>>11738404This proves the suit isn’t terrible it was the fit
>>11738408Because Blokees is stylized so it resembles Corenswet without crossing into uncanny. Also simple stylized paint is harder to fuck up than trying to paint them realisticly
>>11738371I won't be buying any of them. The Joker doesn't look like Nicholson which defeats the purpose. That black canary looks like an old maid in 2 of 3 faces and the 3rd is just meh.
>>11738372Really? I kinda thought lobo looked pretty nice and if I get a starfire (lol) I could play the adventures of pope lobo. The only two I thought were crap are supergirl and black canary but they could be salvaged with new heads.>>11738401Crap, thanks for reminding me anon. Those are figures I'm hoping look goodz I haven't seen any pics yet. Is mongul a mega fig? Also I gotta agree, nu captcha is fucking ass.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCIsIbBhhkM
>>11738408fk I meant blokee head on corenswet body, thanks doodler>>11738404
>>11738421https://www.youtube.com/live/bZ9H8I8RrrQ?si=exTHp0U6XsPwW3uv@53:24looks way better than the older megafig imo. and maybe that Superman will come with guns like he should but never does
>>11738421swapping mcfarlane heads isn't very fun. I've tried
>>11738221>shh>jrot doesn't understand that he's a huge imbecile>we're trying to keep it from him
>>11734897>>11737560>>11738295the elbows & knees in all these promo shots just look disgusting
>>11738488All of those figures sold out on Amazon--At $35 a pop. Why do you think that is?
>>11738490something something faggot something retard
>>11738384Larfleeze was a cocktease announcement, too
>>11738295I need the Platinum.
>>11738506the colors are garish. bbts will charge 50+ for it probably and it will sell out in minutes
Which is better--Todd's Joker 89 toy or this from the actual movie?
>>11738500Howso?
>>11738506Kino
>>11738500I think yours was the only cock that got teased.
>>11738401I really just want the black suit Supes.
>>11738490McFarlane, like certain other people, has gotten good at conning needy, insecure idiots with money, to buy into his cult.He's been good at creating FOMO since he started his Spawn cult. You already see McFarts flood stores like Ollie's and Ross, and quickly peg warm and clearance.Went shopping Monday and that GameStop had both the recent Swamp Thing mega fig and the Aquaman and Blue Beetle Mega Figs not just red-tagged "reduced" but yellow-tagged clearanced.The Superman Gold Label Fortress with the robot was $5.99 at Ross even before Black Friday, and even the movie mega figs and the statutes show up there, like PIC REL.Ollies had loads of these, even Burlington which rarely had DC crap had shit like The Witcher, and his anime and Movie Maniac's crap. He's just convinced enough idiots and produces such small quantities that it creates this artificial scarcity in some instances that shit "feels" like a success.Don't forget - Zatanna and the '78 Superman 'also' sold out on their pre-order day. And I saw both for sale at Target a few days ago as well - and Target had rows of unsold CE and plat Mirror Masters and Dark Archers clogging the pegs by the Collector's Corner. I'm sure if I had a Walmart nearby, it would have been the same thing. The only thing I ended up buying toy-wise, at Target, was a GI Joe Retro card.And the only thing I picked up at the Ross was a Marvel Legends Spider-Man Unlimited, in spite of the fact that I was actually looking for dinosaurs for the young 'uns at all these stores.
>>11738534im not reading that
>>11738511those teeth are uncanny, so glad this movie happened before the cgi apocalypse. never noticed they even used models until the adam savage vids
>>11738384Better luck tomorrow.
So it’s pretty much confirmed the leaker was the guy from super7 that got laid off and hired by Mattel to do the collector dc figures. The timeline matches. We were getting super7 and mcfarlane leaks at the same time before any other site. Mattel getting dc was even leaked in the general 3-4 months before the official announcement. Gotta be him.
>>11738556You really gotta learn to stop obsessing over stupid shit, anon
>>11738534McFarts don't go to Ollie's in my area. Only Hasbro products do. Only Ross has McFarts and its just the typical ones you named that no one wants like modern DC movie stuff. No one will walk into a Ross and find Cyborg Superman or Nicholson Joker.Also Walmarts and Targets in my area have max like 3 McFarts that aren't peg warmer gold labels (Fire) at any given time, usually in electronics. Last time it had any large amount was a Superman movie endcap with a bunch of platinum transparent Eradicators that no one wants And New52 Supes which again no one wants.
>>11738556Why do you sit and lie to yourself and others like this?
>>11738591something something IMBECILES something YOULL BUY IT ANYWAYS.
Has Todd made a black guy Batman figure?
>>11738630A few times already.
>>11738630Yeah, hes called spawn.
>>11738536tl;dr toddster runs a cultstupid cultists who are ignorant (usually they don't read - just like you!) buy into his artificially created scarcity
>>11738699Speculator and scalper culture is the most depressing thing I've ever seen.
>>11738532One of Superman's sexiest suits
>>11738630he should do this one
>>11738699>>11738601
i think most of you and bezos should kill yourselves immediately, but good deal here
Feels like there isn't much hope for DC toys with the upcoming oilocalypse.
>>11738719>speculator culture is bad cause i cant spam as muchoh boohoo go do a flip faggot
kelly fig is tomorrow probably
>>11738225Would look amazing with a comic style headswap
>>11738529slender joker is such a under utilized style, shame SP never made it far enough to make a single joker
>>11738849Mcf always announces DC figs at least a day ahead
No Gangbuster?
>>11738932Gangbuster, Larfleeze, and Starman Jack are all still someday maybe. Todd is selling 40k space vampires today.I haven't messed with any of their 40k stuff but I'd pick up a kill team of Black Templars if they made some. There are those unpainted figures but the paint would chip off and if I'm painting a Templar it'd be a mini for the army.
the return Superman does indeed come with guns. might be the very first time that has ever happened despite that look being made into toys dozens of times.
>>11738974Mezco
>>11738974
>>11738974For 80 bucks? No thanks
>>11739032have you tried not being poor?
>>11739111Given the 2 pack is still in stock, why don't you ask everyone in the US?
>>11738974>No silver toeIt's just the zero hour head too
>>11739175Why don't you have a seat on the patio?
Todd's livestream was hilarious about this WM collector con. Subjects of discussion were:-Encouraging viewers to rush and be there promptly as some of this stuff "sells out really fast"-Talking about in store as an alternative as it sells out-Talking about how some people may live 80 miles away from the nearest store as some kind of weird aside and offering no solutions for those peopleOverall it was classic lulz
>>11739257I tuned in right when some one asked him "hey doesnt that face look like yours" and knew it was one of you fucks.
>>11739258Someone should ask him the hard questions like why some figures are at $35 or even $60 now, why many no longer have wired capes, why they're reusing the same bodies so much more than they used to.
>>11739258timestamp please
>>11738780sweetie sweetie sweetieyou're singing my song, aren't you doll
>>11738311I mean, maybe. I think for a lot of people, Nicholson was just their first(or at least first vaguely gritty) on-screen Joker, but other than that I think he was just serviceable.
You know what actor I'd like to see as a figure? Well, first of all, I'd like a Frank Gorshin Riddler. But really I'd like a Yvonne Craig Batgirl figure, not by Todd but maybe not so much like a high end doll either.
Chink Arkham Knight by LPZZ is coming
>>11739465ew

>>11739473What did anon's dad do once he found out anon was gay?
>>11737957came across two more of these tonight but only time ive seen the regular version is the time i bought mine. people freak out over nothing >>11738126i didn't ask how to buy one, i asked for ideas on how to make one. kill yourself you illiterate freak >>11738200but this interests me. do you have one yourself?
>>11739515>kill >yourself >you >illiterate>freakZoomies really need to come up with their own version of "KYS"
>>>11738311I feel like he didn't play the Joker, he just played an exaggerated version of himself. It worked for the movie but it never really felt like the Joker from the comics.
Todd likes cowboys. That's why we got vigilante
>>11737912Can someone give me a QRD on why the creator of starman hates the mcshartlane toy of his character so much? Does he just hate merch in general?
>>11739677there once was a man who man a comic that literally no one gave a shit about.30 years later a figure is made of that comic to no fanfare and to capitalize on this he makes a twitter posts blaming the figure. the end
>>11739680I'd starman is the only notable thing from zero hour so there's something. I'd rather it'd have been Fate, he was cooler.
>>11739677The figure looks bad
random question. who is the guy with the red cape? i always thought it was the shadow but its not. theres also a few very bruce timm like drawings of him with guns
>>11739698Crimson Avenger>>11739677Figure looks like shit
>>11739494Fag missionary
>>11739515Yeah my Detective Chimp holds one them. I'm real tempted to make an art heist diorama with my Flash rogues but I'm too lazy.
On preorder:>Bane>Superman and Mongul packWaiting for:>Starman Jack>Maxima>Phantom Lady>Bane Megafig reissue
>>11739680>there once was a man who man a comic that literally no one gave a shit about.you mean the critically acclaimed series that ran for 81 issues?
>>11739741>SlamminFuck I miss the pre internet world. Dunno why slammin gave me that sensation but it has.
>>11739741Faggot
>>11739677It's really crappy reuse and (I think) based on a design from art he didn't make. Also probably cause the goggles aren't removable.
>>11739751Probably because post internet that would just be some dumb meme inserted there instead of something that the writer actually thought up for the character to say
>>11739756Yeah, I'm sure that slammin would be replaced with like 6-7 or something topically viral. I was just born in the wrong generation, I'm an all star comics guy not a teen titans guy I guess. Oh yeah, I was looking for gangbuster (lol) and I saw that Walmart has black canary available for pre order if anyone is looking for one. I didn't see that chunk of kryptonite statue, I'd like to meet a guy who bought that statue and just kinda stare at him, he has to be the type of fan you only hear about but never meet.
Found a Batman at an antique shop today. He's gonna be movie Bane's shelf buddy and will look cool next to Routh Superman.
Is $45 for this a good deal?
Holy shit. An actual holy grail.
>>11739763for toddslop I just use gameslop. they get everything, they keep the preorders up for awhile, and my local one actually has a big selection of Todd’s crap. just got the Mongul set through them, I’ll take my chances finding a Lobo in person. where the hell is Gangbuster already.also why does BBTS, ostensibly a manchild toy store, sell out on preorders in five minutes on the first day? it’s literally only them. worthless.
>>11739779I have him and yeah, I'd say $46 is pretty good. He's kind of limited by his coat in what he can do, but he's a good representation of that Joker imo. I also have the SHF Batman to pair with him.
>>11739779youre not going to find a cheaper one thats for sure
>>11739780ugly ass arms
>>11739780Surprised McFarlane hasn't used the Silver Age Joker buck for this yet.
Todd sure knows how to give you almost all the parts!
>>11739845Not only did this make it out of the factory missing a head, but somebody at Todd's warehouse saw it and sent it anyway.lol
>>11739850And the final check, the packaging of the order, but I guess you can't blame them entirely as the are just doing their jobs and boxing orders. I know sometimes you've got to ship the order to make service and let customer service handle the rest.
>>11739845McFarlane Toys has been getting sloppier over the last several years
>>11739845He got the majority of the heads. Not the end of the world.
>>11739845It's not even like one of the extra loose heads either. Like that wouldn't be good but you could see how it could happen. Loose parts fall out. okay. makes sense.
>>11739845Probably fake.
>>11739977It’s probably in the box
>>11739751>>11739756Superman was literally reciting the boyscout motto as a joke and Superboy said Generic Youth Slang, there is effectively zero difference between all that and modern memes/Things The Kids Say. "Something the writer actually thought up for the character to say" my ass, it is all a fucking reference and Slammin' is a term every tom dick and larry writer at the day thought kids were saying and so they made Superboy say it.
>>11740042The how do you do my fellow kids slang was awful in the 90s and early 00s
This guy has a really cool presence.
>>11740051
>>11740052But yeah this is my last Batman. Unless Todd makes Leatherwing from that Elseworlds comic where he was a pirate.
>>11740051>>11740052It’s the middle of the night on Friday and you’re still going. Dude do you need someone to talk to?
>>11740055I bought Bane just for this post. I'm making pizza and my gf is playing Phasmaphobia. We're coming up on ten years of Friday night Baneposting by the way.
>>11740051Still love the Begins suit and yeah, I'm also happy to have it as my Baleman.
>>11740058I picked one up for my buddy a while ago and passed on the others at the time. I have a pretty firm no Batman movie figures rule but Bane needs a buddy, and he'll look cool next to the Returns Superman. It was $20 and the antique shop was doing 20% off everything so I brought home Baleman, Uncle Sam and Doll Man, and Joker for my buddy.
>>11740051>>11740052>>11740054The lighting in your setup is not conducive to taking photos with the big white light as a background and it really bothers me. Learn to light your photos better.
>>11737912Nice
>>11740062Odd they gave it that texture when it should be smooth.
>>11740062Bane needs a buddy just sounds very cute.
>>11740042I never heard any kids say slammin in the 80s or 90s
Went to my local toy consignment store yesterday and picked up unboxed Darkstar and Red Azbats for $10 each. Got a good laugh cause someone was selling their Injustice GA they painted the eyes white.
>>11740287They didn't. But grown men in their forties and fifties thought they did.
>>11740151Nah I love the cool rim lighting it makes. When the bulb dies I'm going to replace it with a color changing one so I can cycle between bright white, orange sunset, and blue nighttime.I think I want to start collecting a league of characters who wear top hats.
>>11740306It's bad photography to have a light source behind your subject. Try to do better.
>>11740309Nah.

>>11740442$37.99
>>11740445What is that Euros I don't have a calculator.
>>11738309>Only gamestop does.This is only because their corporate in Texas sucks and they are assholes who won't let them discount or clearance garbage that old.Probably one of their STONKs intern hires, whose now all of 20, convinced them boomers will lap up old collectible shit at high prices.Based on his GROK research, of course, so they are specifically not allowed to discount that crap.I know from being told this by store managers across three states now. I was especially annoyed because I even showed the acne covered manager in Vegas that scalpers on eBay weren't even charging MSRP for those B&W Batman figurines.

I've only collected Lego and Transformers all my life but I'm looking to get in 1/12. You guys have any recommendations? Looking at Mafex at the moment.
If you don't have at least one comic with Doll Man in it you don't deserve to be here.
>>11740525Do what now? Is Todd doing a madame masque?
>>11740557Madam Masque is what I call Phantom Lady when I can't remember her name

>Sorry but no one cares about your public domain golden age heroes.
>>11740574Oh, that's cool. I bet Todd could do a solid masque for his statue line.
>>11740534Inart looks promising but I never owned one before
>>11740605I wish McFarlane had adopted this style of elbow/knee joint instead of the extreme sculpt cuts
>>11740605They need to redesign those thigh joints and the bottom of the chest symbol sticking out is odd too.
>>11740605I have the TDK Batman and the sculpt detail and paint work is exceptional.
>>11739465You don't need to be racist to try and fit in, sweetheart.
>>11740545So hold on a second, what team is Wesley Dodds on here? Was he a member of the JLA or the Freedom Fighters?
>>11740605It's like an expensive Todd that can articulate better
So the anon who said DC collector figures under Mattel would be like 30+ dollars for regular figures may not be far off since MOTU Chronicles is now 27 for a regular figure (Scareglow) and that line does not have licensing overhead.
>>11740674It's not that surprising, gi joes are close to $30 now as are legends. Hell a deluxe origins is $33 now, and that is direct to consumer, a line with no over head and heavy parts re use. Origins has always been the most affordable figure on the peg and imo classified was the better value on the pegs but I haven't bought one in a year so idk what the deal is now, but yeah man we've got to get used to the future Todd saw coming as far as prices go. Here's Batman and Batgirl just chilling, reading about their adventures together.
>>11740682At some point there will be downsides for these companies who keep raising prices, as at some unknown price point they will reach the point where not enough people buy the figures for them to make a profit with all the overhead. When you see lines go made to order for normal figures that is the beginning of it.
>>11740674more than likely its going to be closer to the wrestling line with multiple price points we know the kids line already shown is 12 dollars so for some characters that people dont really care about we can grab them cheap especially if scale is consistent
I feel dumb for asking this, but I’m new to Mafex and the brand new ones have a little plastic sheet right in the middle of the torso. Is there a better way to remove this than just ripping it out like a retarded child? When I just tore it out with one figure it kind of seemed to be stressing the parts inside, I was afraid I was about to break something.
>>11740733Other than heating up the figure and pulling it apart, no.
>>11740742>>11740733Scissors?
>>11740814where the hell are you going to find scissors for ants
>>11740884Eyebrow scissors?
>>11740716The kids line isn't going to make obscure characters because kids would not know of them
>>11740884The ant store, duh
>>11740884Please be pretending
>>11740953Kids know teen titans because of Go so I wonder if we'll see them after Deathstroke.
If Mattel's DC line turns out to be $30 each would you pick it up?
>>11741013Gotta have my DC.
>>11741013If they are as good as the motu chronicle figures yes. I wouldn’t mind them being up to $35 if they were packed with character specific accessories but that’s my limit. I’m definitely picking up all the kids line figures tho. They look good enough for the $13 price.
>>11741013I'm paying more now for less as it is.
>>11741013I'd at least try a figure or two out. If I like them then I'd buy the stuff I'd consider worth the price. If not then I'll skip the line like I did McFart.
>>11741013Why not spend $30-$50 more and get yourself an import? You'll most likely stop needing to be a completionist fomonger.
>>11741035Imports don't cost $60-80 anymore.
>>11741035have you seen the rate at which imports are making DC figs, especially mafex? They take fucking forever, imports still havent made a damn justice league yet.
>>11741047Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter missing I take it?
>>11741035>>11741047Isn't it kind of crazy that imports have better coverage of say MK or Street Fighter than they do of DC?
>>11741066most superhero yeehaw yankee doodle but mk look cool
>>11741035Imports won't make C or D listers. While I'm not a completionist, I would really not mind building out an extensive DC Universe to rival my Marvel collection. My rule of thumb is for imports, if like the version of a character they do, I'll get it and then pad out the rest of my collection with domestic figs that imports won't make.
>>11741066Even MK and SF struggle to get a full roster out.
Going forward with Mattel if I can’t find in store I’m not worrying about it. Mcfarlane really burned me the fuck out.
>>11741119got some bad news for you about mattel distribution
>>11741064Those 2 along with Hawkgirl and Aquaman.
>>11741146True but far better coverage than DC who can't get a main Justice League of 7 out
>>11741146I said what I said.
>>11741153There is an import Aquaman, though it may not be the look you would like. Hawkgirl is more JSA in my mind than JL, especially not core JL
>>11741064lol they haven’t even done WW or Flash. no snyder trash doesn’t count
>>11741234Yamaguchi has done both WW and Flash
>>11741247they not
>>11741247no no
>>11741119For me it was the exclusives, there just wasn't any rhyme or reason to them. All of my platinum and red platinum were just pure dumb luck, and in the case of cyborg superman you had two choices, hard to find or fuck you for not camping out at a store. I won't pin all my frustration with exclusive figures on McFarlane since Hasbro has really chapped my butt over the past two years but at least with Hasbro you felt like you had a chance. You had an idea of when the figures were supposed to come out for store exclusives or a date for pulse exclusives but with Todd it's literally word of mouth. As far as preorders with multiverse go, well I'll be glad I don't have to stop everything at 10:56 and get logged in to be ready for the 11:01 drop. If Todd hadn't turned hard into the classic looks I doubt I'd be this active with collecting the line at all. As far as mattel goes, I'll try a few out. Just depends on what they offer up beyond what we all expect to be the first wave of figures.
>>11741286Not a word of any of this is remotely true.
First action figures in like 10 years, good pick?
>>11741035It’s more like $70 more now, and most import figures aren’t $70 better, despite what faggots would have you believe.
>>11741303I prefer the robin two pack
>>11741260>>11741283Who is this woman?
>>11741366>movie skirtno no no
>>11741369WonderWomanSay it with me now.
>>11741372>>11741283
>>11741303Good pick, it was my first batman fig when I got back into collecting.
>>11741369>no no noYour response when asked if you read comics. It's the rebirth outfit.
>>11741467movie synergy trash
>>11741467>reading any DC not comics code approvedbig yikes
>>11741473Why does comics code hold authority over you?
>>11741467They only made that design so trans fans could cosplay as Wonder Woman. The real Diana wears star panties.
>>11741303>good pickBatcrap is almost never a good anything.Frank Batcrap?Always a bad decision.
>>11741467Frank Cho is one of my favorite Wonder Woman artists, but I like Terry Dodson more.
>>11741303Best Gayfex line to date
We live in a society...where this goes up for pre-order today
>>11741660
>>11741660>>11741661I’d need to start a new shelf just for characters that were ass raped
>>11741660Man, I sure would be instantly ordered this if I never saw the 2nd movie. Now, not so sure I care.
>>11741620All my favorite characters... and Superman, Joker, horse, and Robin.
>>11741660>>11741661This shit's gonna be over $200.
>>11741747Try closer to $250. It's hard to justify even as a diorama piece considering you can get the NECA Street Scene Diorama or the Ubiquitous modular setup for like $150 themselves, and they're much more extensive.
>>11741747Wait why? It looks like just a regular import
>>11741765The diorama piece. They'll absolutely charge an arm and a leg for that
>>11741781Ah ok I didnt notice it came with that. Imports really shouldn't force that since it decreases the likelihood of purchases due to prices
>>11741660>>11741661>Hey maybe they're finally making more stuff for the increased pric->37.6k yenHoly fuck what were they thinking
>>11741808This is the future of toys. They will produce things that they know people who are obsessed will spend any price on, and they will produce only for those people. It's a whale's game now.
Why does everyone buy mcfarlanes from Amazon instead of the other options?
>>11741815>$59.40.Are Barbie dolls another brand that aren't for kids anymore but just adults collecting them?
>>11741835Hellboy sold out in less than two minutes on Amazon but there are still some left on BBTS.Still no Starman Jack.
>>11741846Anyone notice how mcfarlane has expanded the "McFarlane Collector Edition" outside of DC now? This is the first non-DC figure with that branding. He is going to keep going with this ridiculous $35 price tag when Hasbro and Mattel are both undercutting him at $27-28
>>11741853>This is the first non-DC figure with that brandingWrong
>>11741853It's called Branding.And it allows them to introduce figures into an already established line instead of starting new, where you need to convince retailers to carry something else.Also, aren't collector editions from DC Direct, which are sold at comic shops? That automatically increases prices due to the market they're sold in, since they're not supposed to be sold in the childrens toy aisle. DC Direct, NECA, Diamond Select were always more expensive than Hasbro and Mattel toylines, even when they had limited articulation.
>>11741867No, the McFarlane CEs are not DC direct.>>11741865https://mcfarlane.com/toys/product-type/mcfarlane-collector-edition/Looks like he did it with Avatar figures last year too but no one pays attention to that shit
>>11741853I've been saying for a while now Todd should keep going in that direction and make a Matt Baker Artist's Edition Collectible Phantom Lady, to honor the work of a gay black artist who's drawings were so sassy they got held up before Congress as examples of the corruption of the youth.Todd likes sassy. Todd likes money.Imagine all that sassy Phantom Lady money.
>>11741867McFarlane actually tends to ruin one brand and move on to the next. So regular DCMV, Page Punchers, McFarlane Digital, McFarlane Collector Edition, etc. They're all basically the same figures and reuse parts but somehow they just keep making up new names to sell them under.
>>11741874I have not seen a McFarlane female figure with a shape like that since the 00s. I don't think he is allowed to do it by his licensees or he is afraid retailers won't order it.
>>11741870So McFarlane CE is another label then, apart from DC Direct? Pretty weird. I guess DC Direct has nothing to do the CE figures.Still, the fact that Hellboy and Avatar are not sold as a childrens toy and instead being released in the direct market (comic shop and other collector shops) means prices are going to be higher, same as DCD, NECA, and Diamond Select.>>11741875PAge Punchers no longer exist? That's the one that was under the DC Direct label.
>>11741876She's public domain. Fuck licenses, fuck retailers, do a McFarlane Toys exclusive or a kickstarter. I'd probably personally finance a campaign if Todd did if that way.
>>11741853The last McShartlane I got was this in the 90's. I didn't even pick it, my annoying American uncle brought it over as a birthday gift along with the VHS of the first film.
imagine being willing to fund a kickstarter for your literally who character by yourself, and wanting Todd of all people to do it. you like those ugly af pinned android knees that much, huh?
>>11741894I've been expanding my patio with pallets for a while now to increase the value of my house. Just in case.
Some mcfarlanes are again dropping to their true values in the retail market
>>11741838Yes. Unless you want cheap whore Barbie with color change dog poop.
>>11741887You had an ntsc setup?
>>11741835You want slop, go to the pig trough.
>>11741744Don't knock Horse, bro.
>>11741897I knew it was you this whole time you goddamn attention whore. I own you.
>>11741661>bottom right
>>11738630If you're asking if he did a Jace Fox, yes, but it was the Future State look and not the I Am Batman look so you don't actually see his face at all
>>11741904still too much
>>11741765they're required to charge a ton for it, same reason mcfarlane had to do the diorama, WB really don't want people to have merchandise from this movie
>>11742174cool story, bro
>>11742417>>11742417>>11742417
>>11742288Did you somehow miss the scene in 2nd movie where they sodomized him to own the chuds?
>current Marvel Legends Gen up to 420 posts>their resident whack job creates troll thread after they hit 400Meanwhile, Patio Jrot "Imma-Outta-Here" spergs over every recent DC thread till it barely crawls over 300 ....
>>11742658Look at how many actually toy posts are made in that thread too. Seems like they're having fun except for that one sperg who schizod out halfway through the thread.
>>11742682The GI Joe thread is pretty quiet but can also have their own schizo, I mean, I don't collect them, I just think Hasbro has made some great male heads and thus I've been buying them to head swap with McFarts because they fit quite nicely. But they also post toys there, too.B
>>11742172>>11741904I still think it's funny when I look for something I never bought when it first came out and then finds stacks of them dirt cheap, like picrel which just sold at an auction for $5.I'm sure Todd was majorly hard when all of two people bid it up that high.
