>>11771030Nice timing OP, just got my definitive Batman in. This is pretty much perfect for me. Black cape and cowl, yellow oval, capsule belt. I love the other versions too but this is what I think of when I think of Batman. And goddamn Mafex nailed it. I love this figure.
>>11771052Getting some real Batman TAS vibes from these two. These are my Batman and Robin. Don't care what anyone says.
>>11771030I appreciate that reissues allow people new to collecting imports to get figures they desire without paying ebay prices. Also Revoltech has released some new ones recently too.
Alright /dcg/, question of the thread:Black or Blue?We did this with modern Batman with Hush, but what are your thoughts for classic? Black for me, TAS just ingrained me on that look.
>>11771053I like the head sculpt on Robin. But if they are going to make soft goods and cloths, why not give collectors unmasked heads and they can put the domino mask on Dick or pull over the cowl on Bruce?What's the impulse NOT to when it's so easy otherwise?
>>11771068Black is now the iconic look. Blue used to be but has fallen out of favor.
>>11771068Black because blue is missing the outline around the emblem
>>11771073Alternate versions so they can keep selling the same base figure repeatedly
>>11771068I wasn't even an angsty emo edgelord as a teenager so I personally prefer the blue. This is going to go on a display shelf or top and against a wall. The Black and Gray is just so MEH in that respect.
>>11771030Why are your threads always so cringe and gay?
>>11771131He's a fine op
>>11771073Because that would look like shit.
>>11771073Hush Batman came with an unmasked Bruce Wayne head. A good portion of their figures come with unmasked heads. All their Spider-Men, Cap, Iron Man, Wolverine. And to be fair Robin didn't appear without his mask in Hush, and the black Knight Crusader doesn't even come with all the parts that the blue version did.
>>11771073>What's the impulse NOT to when it's so easy otherwise?Can you imagine how bad a soft goods cowl or domino mask would sit on a 1/12 scale head?Domino mask in particular, in reality those have to be stuck on with glue, there would be no way to keep a nylon one on except adhesive and if you applied it even slightly wrong it would look absurdly crooked.
>>11771203>All their Spider-Men, Cap, Iron Man, WolverineOkay dipsht
>>11771206Just make it magnetic then you hyperventilating queer
>>11771211Believe me when I say I don't want to sound mean or rude but that is the stupidest idea I've heard all day
>>11771212Ok retard
>>11771212Shut the fuck up. This kind of mouthbreathing turbotism is why this general is an empty wasteland.
>jarret
>>11771203I'm starting to think I fucked up by not going the import route guys. These look so much better than McFarlane.
>>11771247Mattel’s got you covered
>>11771252Lol, lmao even
>>11771087Reuse. It's the word of the day apparently!>>11771206I bet you are one of those people that got really, REALLY mad at Raimi or at Web or the random hacks who have directed the Iron Spiderling movies, because Peter has his mask off so frequently in all those movies?>>11771203Fair points. I guess I need to dig more into Mafex just not sure what I am getting for the extra $50-80 I am paying.
>>11771260I’m playing with chronicles heman and trapjaw right now. I unironically trust Mattel with dc collector figures.
>>11771285What's the highest you will pay for DC figures from Mattel? This is a measure of your trust.
>>11771247The proportions certainly look better.The paint looks consistent and even, I doubt there are unpainted belts and shit like that in that back, hidden by the cape.However, that head sculpt on the Batman sucks as much as as any creepy thing Todd did - the only saving grace is that it's not wearing lipstick.
>>11771288$32-35 max depending on how it looks and the loadout. $26-28 if they’re packed like the chronicles so far with just hands and no alt heads.
>>11771052>I am Vengeance >I am the Night>I >Am>BATMAN!
>>11771307You're prepared for the price hike it seems. Most of us are not.
>>11771354I also only want maybe 20 characters so I can see an off ramp for myself. Mcfarlane has single-handedly changed how I collect figures because of his fomo tactics. I recently went through a mass sell off and realized I fell into the trap of just buying shit to buy it. I’ve since made a list of anything I could every want if it were to be made and not just DC. I have 5k set aside just for that list. Way more than I should ever need. Now let’s just hope toys are still shipping by the end of the year.
>>11771052>>11771053dude cannot pose for shit lol
>>11771380Most figures can't pose dynamically without a flight stand due to balance issues
>>11771381thats an insane degree of cope when stuff is posted to the contrary often
>>11771380>Open the door>This is Jim Gordon motherfucker open the door>I'll show you how to poseLmao
>first lpzz, death stroke came in todayI regret missing on batman. Okay i want a red death whats your opinion on the two designs? I personally think the lpz bat effect looks better but im an indecisive bitch.
>>11771288NTA but some of the kids figures at clearance prices will hold me at say $10-$12.Except for the fact that they were only five inches, I though the Jazz Pacific DC x Sonic line was perfectly acceptable, by and large: the head sculpts, paint apps, articulation, etc. And I got one of those with the stupid hedge hogs for as little as $10 on clearance at Walmart. The rest were all obtained on some sort of sale, including the Darkseid. For the collectors line, it depends on what comes with - - as >>11771307 this anon wrote.
>>11771410InArt looks bigger. Not sure it's $130+ bigger, but I pick it purely for mass and more cyberpunk design.
Where are the Absolute Universe toys?
>>11771448
>>11771448Gay shit with fake sales numbers
>>11771562Wtf is that flash to the left?
>>11771620Looks like an OC cyborg Flash with rollerskates.
>>11771448That shit is right up Todd's [Spawn] Alley.
>>11771448Too late for Todd. Mattel is most likely using classic characters first for the collectors line. Lego is being a bitch.
>>11771631Like a more revo flash than recent Revoltech?
>>11771726Sorry CHOOM, but it's 2026. The FLASH is getting CHROMED.
>>11771577>>/co/
>>11771380he spends thousands on toys but is the most anti-fun human aliveI miss VF
>>11771799Put your trip back on
>>11771799He's spamming reddit, sweetie
I thought Dark Nights Metal figures didn't sell, why are multiple import companies releasing them?
>>11771247You can use proxy shopping services. Buy a few items at a time, store them in a warehouse, and choose the cheapest shipping method if you want. I've saved a lot more buying imports long term.
>>11771901Has to be written into the license
>>11771632>Todd's [Spawn] AlleyWhat a euphemism.
>>11772144>>11772146Nope, not going to ross. It's a meme or some sort of prank or something, in three years I've bought two figures from ross. A talon fighter and a tiger force bazooka, I have bought some under shirts there on one trip though but they shrank after one wash so even that was a wasted trip.
>>11771901because they do sell. if they didn't, people wouldn't make it with the intention of selling it
>>11772146This is also another license requirement now
>>11772149I once went into a Ross to see if they had any DCMV. There was literally 1 toy: a Mario figure from jakks. Thats it.
>>11771068I prefer a darker blue when it is blue, with lots of black shading.
>>11771247We're like 5 years in to the Hush line and it's not finished yet, if you spend $100 a month for a year picking up releases you missed you can catch up easily.
>>11772149
>>11772149>>11772182My local Ross is packed. I've even found Figuarts there on occasion.
>>11772229This. And show the suit to be techy but covered in fabric, he's trying to be soft and huggable by scared kids, but still scare the shit out of adults
>>11771068I just will always prefer colors over muted or monochromatic designs despite growing up with TAS. All those insane toy recolors and Adam West reruns are strongly nostalgic too. And all the years of capeshit movies trying to be realistic made me want color more than anything.
>>11771131
Anyone own (or is willing to admit to owning) the DCMV Speeding Bullet? Finally decided to get one now that prices are in the normal range now that ebay scalpers realize their meal ticket is quickly loosing value. I want to try to make a custom cape for it since the shit idiots are selling looks like crap and it can't be that hard to finesse.Like this shit on the left that looks like cheap blue parachute fabric (or worse) with an added wire.Or the one on the right - where it looks like the person got lazy at the end and just decided to tie it around the neck because anything else would be "too much effort."
The one on the left looks like a proper, worked out concept, but won't work for the Speeding Bullet head sculpt and cape mold. The strange one should work and I even like the darker color.
>>11772516The left one isn't wired and that neck piece "seems" neat but it probably bunches up like crazy. You know in movie productions they'll use different capes for different shots. I'm surprised higher end companies like Mafax don't do the same so people who just have Batman standing there don't have to mess with a glider sized cape.
>>11772182> literally 1 toy
>>11772566You're literally a fucking moron. He's talking about HIS store you raging shit.
