I was pretty excited when I saw the Helldivers was finally getting a figure produced, but had my skepticism when I saw it was McFarlane. Needless to say, the figure is dogwater. I've seen video reviews and it has poor articulation, bending weapons with poor detail, it looks like melted wax, and it's 60 fucking dollars, 75 with shipping. Like every McFarlane exclusive, it sold out in minutes to scalpers because the fucking idiot didn't think to make more than 100 of them. Any other toy company could have done better at a cheaper price. I can go out and buy a $27 Black Series and it's 10x better than what this came out to be. Why do people buy figures from this fag?
>>11807277I was incredibly excited when I heard Helldivers was getting figures and then instantly disappointed to learn McFarlane was making them and then absolutely distraught when it came out they were going to be 7" figures. I don't even know why he bothers to license figures, he hates anything not Spawn or Batman and the figures always turn out like crap. These guys should've been 1:18 figures and they should've been made my practically any different company. Jazwares had the Halo license for a while and made some fantastic, if not flawed, figures in both 1:12 and 1:18 scales, with vehicles for the latter. I feel they would've been far better suited for Helldivers then McFarlane as his figures are overpriced and under quality.
>>11807344I bought the Jazwares Vault Halo:CE/Halo 2 and Halo 3/Halo 4 collectors packs, both $40 each so $20 per figure, and they're fucking fantastic. Paint, posing, detail, even reflective visors, all great. I have a lot of 1:18 scale Halo figures from Jazwares in fact. Jazwares would've done great with Helldivers. Hell, if Joytoy can afford the Warhammer license, they could've bought a Helldivers license from Sony too. It'd be better to just buy a 3D printer and make your own instead of buying from dumbass McFarlane, or commission a custom from someone.
>>11807277Figure looks cool but I don't know what Helldiver is. Can someone fill me in?
>>11807374Popular video game on console and PC. 4-player co-op game where you play as a Helldiver, the figure in question, and shoot giant bugs, robots, and aliens. Think Starship Troopers meets ODSTs from Halo.
>>11807374Video game. Basically you play as Not Stormtroopers for a quasi fascist military dictatorship ala Starship Troopers who fight an alien invasion of big creatures
>>11807344anything McFarlane is that scale. AFAIK he's never gone any shorter. Them Super7 and NECA are pretty much automatically out because their shits too big and weird.
>>11807420McFarlane has done plenty of smaller scaled stuff. Even recently the Avatar movie line had multiple scales being offered.
>>11807420You forget mcfarlane has mclegos.

>>11807344Think of it this way. McFarlane, every online distributer, and Walmart selling out instantly every week will hopefully signal to the other companies to cash in on the IP. Fortnite had McFarlane, Jazwares, and Hasbro. This might turn out the same.
>>11807277Do we have MacFarlanon? Because MacFarlane is as bad as Neca
>>11807277>>11807344Wait, McFarlane is an actual person? I always thought that was just the name of the company.
>>11807590Yeah he made Family Guy
>>11807590originally it was spawn toys but he changed it due to a copyright
>>11807590Used to be Todd's Toys
Seeing McFarlane is the only option for a character you want is so painful. For me it’s Johnny Silverhand. But I don’t want a 7 inch brick with pin joints. The company is stuck in 2007 and I hate there is still retards thinking these are premium high quality products.
>>11807781>cybershit 2077>high qualitylook at this delusion
>>11807781Anthony tells me MLs aren't that much better
>>11807590Well he's Canadian actually.
>>11807781Mcfarlanes are all over the place articulation wise some of it is good, some bad, and some downright bizarre. Personally I despise swivels.
>11807784retard
>>11807390>>11807404>>11807374>Figure looks cool >don't know what Helldiver isSo basically 'discount storm troopers' plus cape because Sony couldn't get a Star Wars license from Lucas Film or wanted to rip it off to make their own boondoggle?
>>11807277Cool to see they are making Halo again.
>>11807277>hasbrony malding because Todd mogged his disney dolls againlmaoCommon McFarlane W
>>11808512Their Halo figures are still their best stuff. I dont give a fuck about some shitty ass spawn with a chain and shitty looking cape. The fucking colors on the Halo 3 figures were so good. I had such a big collection of Spartans and Covenant. Fuck bro the Halo reach stuff was also amazing. Those elites were top notch. I regret throwing my toys away when I went off to college. (Got married and have 3 kids now and mostly collect Dragon Ball Figurearts now.) What I wouldnt give to have my old Brute Chieftain back. XD should have just boxed them up and left them in my parents garage. I was a stubborn child back then...
