Stop spamming the board Jarret.

Does anyone care

Like for real

The wave sold out in multiple places like Amazon
>>
>>11786199
On this board of mostly weebs furious at that kuso gaijin MacuFarennu for mogging their glorious imports? Probably they only care insomuch as they're angry about it existing.
>>
Can we just make a Mcfarlane General at this point? He has a bunch of licenses that dont really fit into other threads.
>>
>>11786270
We used to have McFarlane generals on /toy/, but they died because there are only two retards that actually like his figures, and everyone else that buys them only does so begrudgingly because no other company has the license or because they saw them on clearance and had some change in their pocket.
Really though, we have an entire board that covers everything McFarlane related from his toys to Image comics to his collection of baseballs signed by drug cheats.

Spawn III is still the best Spawn toy ever made. Just wish they made it easier to change the batteries.
>>
>>11786332
Its articulation is worse than mk11 spawn and the paint isnt really better since III was before mcfarlane became really good at paint apps. Thoughts?
>>
>>11786142
I'd be ok with a re issue of the first figures, it won't happen but it's an idea.
>>
>>11786199
todd doesn't, and it shows.
>>
>>11786614
The first Spawn universe figs or the og 90s figs?
>>
>>11786657
This latest wave is better than that sad sack reaper and devastator wave
>>
>>11786839
The 90s was what I was thinking. They were simple but had gimmicks and to me were kinda unique when compared to Toy Biz. Like I said, it won't happen but I bet I'm not the only person who would at least be interested in the idea. Shit, if Todd could get Rob to sign off on it if even like to see those youngblood figures from the 90s.
>>
>>11786840
I'm saying these 3 are 80% reuse with no accessories at all. yes, they look infinitely better.
still, wings of redemption is king spawn with a new boot and head, llanso is plague with bone spikes and a new head, nightmare spawn is the previous nightmare but with gauntlets, cape and a new head. plus, these were 25 when they were new molds. how much now? 40? 45?
>>
>>11786872
King spawn was bloated with demons and guns, so it was the higher price point. Point is still valid though.
>>
>>11786142
lol that boot. It sort of worked in the comics, but when you have it on a figure with realistic proportions it just looks like he stepped in a trash can
>>
>>11786199
If he continued from that canceled covers set that he started turning into full resin statues. I fucking hate his articulation especially on Spawn. There was a lot of good ones left to do and I suspect if he went back the old way with interchangeable parts he would be pleasantly surprised with the sales. I'm betting some Chinese 3D printer will beat him to it in a few years on Temu.

>>11786908
They just look like shit toys without the dynamic poses.

You can still get many of those old figures sealed for good prices on ebay. In many cases less than what Todd would now charge. Not the rarer ones from the staction era though. I rather doubt they still have the tooling to redo them though.

>>11786872
They're $30, and yes I know there's a lot of reuse. Given the way McFarlane Toys is run now with DCMV I'm surprised there's as much new here as there is.

-I believe WoR also has a new pouch upper leg (for some reason; its accurate to nothing as far as I know) and diaper.

-Nightmare Spawn has a new diaper, a new left arm in addition to the gauntlet as it appears to be single jointed rather than double (which is a pain point but the original had a single jointed right arm even though it just had that dinky gauntlet)

The fact Nightmare Spawn isn't digitigrade is also onerous.

No one should've bought that original Nightmare Spawn though so this is sort of a new offering to discerning buyers, the first mold use of Nightmare Spawn was awful, same for the King Spawn given its price. That said I don't think WoR Spawn is a good value even at $30 for people who didnt get that King Spawn as the wings will destroy any posability he has and the figure isn't at all accurate to the art.

CotS/llanso might have been serviceable if the bone portions on the legs weren't just painted on. Feels like they would've been better to just leave those cross leg paint apps off and call it a "variation" or "interpretation" even if it isn't as accurate (not like its very accurate now anyway). In the comic his costume changed quite a lot panel to panel over the 4 issues it was in if I recall.

I can't even imagine why anyone bought this version. Although the flame effects on it are interesting--about the only thing. I don't fully get how they did that without either tampography (which this surface seems too uneven and rough to be) or actually paying a Chinese man for a ton of brush strokes to do it (which I very much doubt they would).

I don't think we ever got a new Malebolgia toy since the Mutations wave from the early-2000s.

>Loved Violator I, II and III Raven Spawn and Curse of Spawn figs because they're edgy and cool designs even if the articulation wasn't great
>New figures looks like utter shit
Thanks, todd.

Malebolgia transforms into a Carnotaurus. I'm not joking. The shark has been jumped that badly.

>>11786942
He still can't differentiate between the different fandoms he takes licenses from that aren't sportsball. He seemed to understand Halo fans well enough and then he makes Walking Dead figures with nothing but statue zombies.
>>
>>11786964
Thats because he isn't a part of the nonsportsball fandoms. So he doesn't know what they want.

>>11786872
Ive been collecting the dcmv line for a for a few years now and yeah, the reuse can be pretty bad and the obvious lack of any accessories (sometimes you just get a spare set of hands, hands that are used across practically every line McFarlane Toys does) while continuously raising prices is a nasty deal. You'd think the Batman repaints would be bringing in the cash to fund the inclusion of accessories or new pieces since multiverse is very Batman focused. I'm kinda glad I'm basically done collecting the series, Todd's figures usually look good but it seems like they are trying to find some spot in-between staction figures and action figures that they never quite got right.
>>11786918
Yeah, I've been looking at those and will likely start collecting them soon. I've got a few of them already but what I like about them and something that is missing from Todd's stuff is their playability. You look at those early figures and you know you can play with them.

As far as the later stuff goes, I recently bought Cry for Dawn and unfortunately her arm broke. There are maybe three poas on the figure I had one just snap right off. It's fixable but still, I was bummed that a nib 20 year old figure broke.
