HELL YEAH TOYS
>>11803200Are Four Horsemen back on DC? These feel very DCUC.
>>11803200Mattel is actually really dumb for making the core figures in DC also 6.5in rather than 5.5in like MOTU. Because lots of people are going to just buy the core versions of most of the less important characters for cheap as "good enough" and leave the collector versions of those characters to rot on shelves at $27+
>>11803279I agree. The kids line should’ve been similar to motu movie core figures.
>>11803279>>11803287They're just mimicking the formula from WWE, between Main Event (basics) and Elite (collector) figures. Between scaling and being able to swap heads and certain other parts, that's kind of why they exist this way.
>>11803323They're going to lose money on it though, which seems...counterproductive to a corporation.
>>11803279I think the idea is to do the more like WWE method of it, where the kids line on the adult side of things IS supplemental, But on the other hand I honestly can't see them making that obscure of characters in the kids line, even the spinmaster stuff didn't go very deep. Like I'm thinking like Plastic Man tops is the most obscure they'll probably do (I know he's not really that obscure now but most casual fans still really don't even know him)
>>11803328Adding back on because I forgot This point actually, but I think again they're expecting fans to double dip because people will buy a figure and that eventually want to upgrade, because a lot of adult collectors tend to be like that where they will buy something and then a year later when the newer better one comes out they'll still buy that, just in this case it's a kid's toy version
>>11803328Wouldn't the kids line eventually run out of steam? Or are they about to get very creative with Legends of the Dark Knight II: Boomerang Battler Batman?
I guess I'm confused on this motu idea I see here. What is it you guys mean? Do you want origins styled figures or do you just prefer the actual dimensions of the size? The female figures in origins (there aren't many female characters) all share the same exact body. Which after a good six years becomes pretty friggin boring. Would anyone be happy with Phantom Lady on the teelas body?
>>11803398Core on the left
>>11803398I think they just would prefer the kids line be less similar to the eventually collectors stuff as to lessen the potential cannibalization "Oh, I don't really need an expensive Joker this $13 one is pretty good and works with that $28 batman I just got" vs "Oh, this Joker is from an entirely different scale, guess I'll have to get the $28 dollar one to work with the Batman I just got"When if I'm being honest, the latter cannibalizes more from what I've seen with MOTU because it means if you get invested in one line you're pretty damn locked in. I collect the movie core stuff, and realistically I won't get any movie origins or chronicles.
>>11803326I think the idea is almost a kid to "adult" collector pipeline.
>>11802963Faust by Todd would be great, these kind of characters are 200% his thing.
>>11803476Todd is making a Witchblade and Savage Dragon for his Image series. I've been saying for months that public domain characters would be really interesting. I'd prefer something accurate to the source material, but a McFarlane Toys figure of Fantomah with vibes from the old Blair Witch figure would be sick.Branching out to more independent characters like Hellboy is a good move, too. Maybe Cerberus, Shi, or Aphrodite IX.
The wait is almost over bros!!!>A new era of DC Comics figures begins this coming Sunday (5/31) with the launch of Mattel's new line of DC Core products which will be available online and at physical stores.>We will see the first round of 6.5" figures which should include the likes of Robin, Joker, Batman, and Flash. We will see deluxe figures along with a new line of Bat-Link vehicles that include a new Batmobile and Robin with Cycle. We will see various 12" figures and more.>These are all part of the first stage of Mattel's recapture of the DC toy license from Spin Master with the more kids oriented stuff that is going to be priced around $12.99 each for a single 6.5" core figure.>Then in the beginning of 2027 Mattel will be launching their new "Collector" 6.5" oriented figures after McFarlane Toys ends their run with the license this year.>You will find these new Mattel DC Core figures at physical stores like Walmart and Target. Some Targets have already started getting them in stock with a sale date of this Sunday.
Just a few more hours bros!!!
DC IS BACK BABY
You guys heading out to pick up the wave tomorrow? I AM!
>>11803556Hell year brother! I ride at first light!
Today’s the day.
Insider here.Total Mattel recall.Shipments sent to major retailers were found to contain an insect classified as hazardous to the North American ecosystem.If you see any DC Mattel figures on shelves tomorrow, immediately bring them to the customer service desk for incineration.That is all.
>>11803537I just came into the thread to ask whens the new collector line reveal and was wondering if it was gonna be at sdcc
>>11803623You’re such a fucking fag dude
>>11803628Yes. They will reveal at SDCC and announce product launch is happening in October of this year instead of January next year.
>>11803631False.>>11803623Correct.
>>11803637If you stop being a faggot you might get a new phantom lady.
>>11803164Can you guys warn us if they hit online stores today , i would like to grab 2 or 3 pack
>>11803645Target goes live at 9am. Idk if that means 9am across all retail or not.
>>11803200>no wonder womanhere we go again
>>11803653She’s coming
>>11803652Which 9am? Est? PT?
>>11803674Est
>>11803674Actually they’re up now on target
>>11803679Yeah I was fast enough to snag a core Flash funnily enough. Hopefully they stock more online as ok the site's bad about keeping cheaper figures available
>>11803685Batmobile up now too
>Batman>Robin>Joker >Flash All sold out in minutes online. Batmobile is currently the only thing still available. Pretty crazy for a drop in the middle of the night. I’m sure there will be more online in the morning.
>>11803713I wonder if dc mattel is going to be like some marvel legends that you cant sleep on certain figures because they will sold out in hours instead of days and months like mcfarlane
I’m excited to see new dc figures on shelves.
Roughly $95 before taxes for all 4 single carded releases and the Batmobile together. Is that a good deal to you? Shout out in the comments below.
>>11803713Scalpers and speculators. Kids aren't getting these. You're not bringing in new collectors.
>>11803786Now they are trying to sell the kids line to collectors. Because they know kids don't buy action figures.
>>11803811>>11803812Lol fuck off tard
>>11803713Why do they put up preorders in the middle of the night? At least Todd and hasbro put them up when normal humans are awake
>>11803818Target is really bad about listing toy pre orders. Shit goes up at random times and sells out instantly. Even if the figure is plentiful when it actually releases. I wouldn't put too much stock in Targets system tbqh. Just go to the store or calling and ask with the DPCI.
>>11803818For all the "kids" to buy
>>11803743Have you tried to preorder a McFarlane recently?
>>11803200do these toys have ab crunch or any abdominal articulation?what is it with western toy manufacturers wanting all their toys looking like a bunch of stiff robots from the 1970s?
>>11803833Swivel at the waist. These are designed for play not gay “action figure photography”
>>11803833It's the cheap kids line. How many times does this have to be said? They're like $12. The collectors line, with normal articulation, is yet to be revealed.
>>11803835that makes total sense for the playing toy to have less playability
>>11803836It’s trolling at this point and should be reported. Everyone has had more than enough time to get informed and bitching that they don’t like it because it’s not made for them should be considered off topic.
>>11803837Motu would like a word with you retard
>>11803836the people purchasing this line, both kids and adults, deserve abdominal articulation. you sound like todd does when he justifies his sausage fest releases trying to argue that boys dont buy female characters.>>11803838go to /r/eddit >>11803840motu is dogshit. thank you from proving my point.
Just repot and ignore him
>>11803846It's really weird how ass mad you are at the fact that complete strangers who you'll never meet buy these toys. No one is forcing you to buy them. In fact, something that fits what you describe is on its way. Probably to be shown off in 2 months at SDCC. Stop acting like a baby about a cheaper toy line not having enough articulation for you. Just wait for the collectors line and stop whin8ng like a bitch.
Is there such thing as a good Cass Cain figure? They all seem to have wildly wrong proportions
>>11803852Mcfarlane is unfortunately the best
>>11803854I feared this might be the case, thank youMaybe one day we'll get an on-model Cassie...
Hey fellas, I'm going to buy him and there ain't jackshit you can do about it. I'm gonna spluuuuuurge.
Arigatou gozaimasu Yamaguchi-sensei, I kneel.
>>11803868>>11803871Unfathomably based. I have him and Batman Beyond ordered.
>>11803852>>11803859Reuse of tooling did this sadly. No one feels like making a new mold. If Todd had made her back at the start of the line maybe it would've been possible. But now she's just Babs reuse.
>>11803828No>Megafig bane , clayface and killercroc still available on amazon>ordering dc guys from mcfarlane is hardeven the heavy hitter are still in stock after a year lol cope harder
>>11803893>Ancient releases count as "recently"No. Anything that is a newer preorder that isn't a 2 pack for 80 bucks sells out day 1, even if it's the thousandth reuse of a bad mold of an obscure comic like Deadman Batman. You clearly don't even follow this line.
>$128 for the version with the blue shit all over him>"still available"Only if someone has brain damage, and I'm the guy who pays hundreds of dollars to Chinese smugglers for Sandman, Zatanna, and Starman. I paid premo for those because this shit always happens >>11803924 every single fucking time.Why is Kalibak wearing a fallopian tubes shirt? Is that something from the comics I've never noticed until now?I'd still pick him and some Parademons up if Todd released a decent Darkseid, but alas, the line ends with Batman spam.
>>11803537>>11803786Also not in stock but here are the Target listings for the Mattel DC Core Collection wave two>Superman >Jokerized Batman >Batman >John Stewart Green Lantern
>>118039>bane with blue pants is 60 on amazon canada wich is like 30 american dollars and probably 20 bucks of shippingKek buy your 128 dollars ugly bane >euum actually those niche batman 7 inch sold out fastYeah sure buddy ahah>doesnt want to pay the extra bucko fur clayface and killer croc> wait for mcfarlane release of millie alcock supergirl and a 7 inch darkknight jokerKek
What a wonderful day. A new dawn of DC.
ITS HAPPENING!!!https://youtu.be/Cnjt-ASsigc?si=5uNGB_e_6kIJNMXv
>>11803940>symbol facing away from the customer>awkward homoerotic rob liefeld pose with his ass pushed at the customer while looking back over his shoulderah haa new dawnof faggotry
>>11803940That headsculpt looks perfectly round on top. It's like his head is a cannon ball, as he charges to FIGHT EVIL
Don’t worry guys I’ll keep you posted as the reviews start flowing!!!
>>11803947Let us know if anyone can figure out why Flash has two right hands.
>>11803947It doesn't really make sense for me to watch a review of a DC kids line that isn't aimed at collectors. I'll just wait for the collector line reviews.
>>11803948Wipe the morning cum from your eyes Jarret!!!
>>11803948It's the cheap kids line. How many times does this have to be said? They're like $12. The collectors line, with normal quality control, is yet to be revealed.
>>11803950Haha yeah you’re right! Feel free to skip them!
Best thread on /toy/
>>11803952No, two right hands is an inexcusable QC failure. It's a new dawn!!!>>11803951Oh so it's just some of them with two right hands, like a platinum chase variant lmao
>>11803961You are just too needy today aren’t you shnookums!!!
>>11803940Me on the right
>>11803962I doubt the DC experiment has left McFarlane Toys with as much of a huge war chest as this guy thinks given how much they now have to charge when they used to be at $20 a figure.
>>11803968You can tell he has some weird emotional connection to mcsharts because he’s personally met Todd a few times
>>11803969I met Todd at a midnight game release. I can't remember which game it was, Kingdom of Avalon or something I think, I was there to pick up Resident Evil Revelations before I took a flight, and he was there signing stuff since he did the art for the game. He was kinda weird tbqh. I had a much better time meeting Greg Capullo and Stan Lee at comic con.
>>11803974>He was kinda weird tbqhYeah. I’m the anon that met him at a GameStop awhile back. Told him I liked spawn and he bought me a snow cone.
imagine being so buttmad at Todd that you shill a kids line, by fucking Mattel of all people, day and night here are you desperately hoping they sell well as like a “zing” or something, you faggot?
>>11804000I just want decent DC figs to go all gskde my Marvel Legends bro. I'm not invested in this company wars shit.
>>11804000Boohoo
