>>11820375Hell yeah best thread on /toy/
>>11820375Why are there two Jokers? This doesn't make any sense.
>>11820380Why are there two Batmen in the same room letting Joker piss in the League's headquarters?
What is this thread even about anymore?
Who is DC General?
>>11820383children's toys yet somehow imaginext still gets ignored s m h
>>11819930>softer sculpts>less articulation >"todd in shambles"you people genuinely need help
Primed the backdrop facades for the Gotham dio. Should I paint them natural greys and let the blue lighting do all the work, or paint them a bluer grey to make it more atmospheric?My main vision of Gotham is Seal's Kiss From a Rose. If any of you mess with leds in your displays any advice would be appreciated.
>>11820389no one cares about knock off mini figs.
>>11820390>$12 >poses better
>>11820391really depends how far in the distance you want the city to look. schulmakers city is all over the place color wise youre just going to have to pick a shot and go with it.
>>11820399they literally don't have the POA to pose better than even mcfarlanes
>>11820405But yet it can
>>11820391Go animated
>>11820391>>11820413Seems like darker silhouettes with minimal detail is better. I'll paint the buildings on the right darker and cooler to push them back more, and the one on the right a little warmer to pull it forward and try to create some kind of illusion of depth.
>>11820412Show me one bending its arm 180 degrees
>>11820418>180 degreesI don't think you understand degrees
>>11820417too dark, most of batmans black bits are barely distinguishable (unless you plan on swapping batman out with a blue one)
>>11820423I'm going to do the double mirror trick to create an infinite reflection like with Metropolis, then the foreground will be a patio extending out of the batcave where Batman can relax and watch the city, so it'll have warmer greys and things to lighten it up a little.
>>11820417Skyline needs to be red
>>11820401Sir, may I have more pixels?
>>11820424Shut up piss bitch, I'm still mad at you for being a fag when I was just trying to help you out.
>>11820428Themyscira is red. Metropolis is yellow. Gotham has to be blue. I wouldn't be opposed to switching out skylines, I suppose.>>11820460Fuck off, Adolf. Go line your toys up in front of a brick wall.
>>11820465Themyscira should be blue
>>11820424Everytime you guys post this figure I get a jones in my bones for transparent figures but then I remind myself that I haven't bought it for a reason. It'd be nice to have and I'll buy it if I find it cheap just to add to group of transparent figures I already have. Now, if we got a jla Fire to pair with the really friggin nice looking Ice then I'd be all in.
>>11820465Here ya go.
>>11820484BASED!!!

>>11820420Ok, 0 degree elbows then? Whichever you want to call the elbow going fully back where it came from. As opposed to the roughly 90 degrees Mattel core get.
>>11820523that looks hideous and elbows can't bend like that or even have that degree of bend.
>>11820527t. fatbastard

>>11820631You’re bending your wrist dipshit lmfao
>>11820631god you're stupid.
>>11820633>>11820632We must all cheat to be like the mcfarlane figures. They are superior to us flesh and blood creatures.
Why is every thread full of schizos today?
>>11820655Touch shoulder
The stone pieces are about the same grey the batcave patio will be, so I think darker buildings works better to separate the spaces. The darker they are the less weird the shadows from the figures falling across them will be, too. Haven't peeled the film off the mirror but it already adds a lot more light to the space.
Everyone who walks by this just sways back and forth watching the reflections move.
>>11820674How many pallets will your patio be?
>>11820675>Everyone who walks byAll your visitors are sure to be in awe
>>11820676Depends on how many pallets I can make before I get burnt out.>>11820678It's simple but booknook dios are fun. Gotham has been just pink and white foam for a while so it's cool finally knocking it out.
>>11820675I wonder whether half the anons here put as much effort into their displays
This thread has been very entertaining.>>11820674Loos great!
how are you retards missing the point here, which is that the human elbow realistically moves a lot closer to 180° than 90°. all double elbows are unrealistic just because actual elbows are single jointed, but it doesn't change the actual range, which sucks on the mattel figures.
>>11820688Museum poses side by side on a black bookshelf for me. Jarret’s display would be cool is didn’t constantly spam it and wasn’t a huge faggot in general
>>11820700Yeah this thread just feels like his blog now
>>11820697>all double elbows are unrealistic just because actual elbows are single jointedGet a load of this guy
>>11818113Yes, I do sometimes don't get enough sleep - and when I should be sleeping, I'm contributing (or shit-posting, take your pick) on crapfests places like this one or doing some other shit, like bidding on auctions, when I'd be better off asleep.But otherwise, whatever you were going on and meant by your cartoon of the fat Not Homer expy, I have no clue. I just know nothing about the cartoon, other than he's an even more annoying and more stupid, but equally fat, just not as bald, rip off of Homer.
>>11820785Snd look at how bitchy he gets when someone who has their own diorama set up posts in the thread. Guy is the main reason this thread is so shit.
>>11820375Loid better come get his girl before she trades him for Batman.
>>11820697Next your going to tell me you don't have thigh cuts.
>>11820828No, you came at him with a bitchy attitude so he fired back, now you're just being a sour cunt.
>>11820579/dcg/dick clenching general
>>11820876That's not even me, but I wasn't exactly bitchy to him. The only thing that could've been construed as being negative towards him was how I couldn't believe that he was unable to figure out Mattel Bane was too small on his own. He (You) proceeded to get hyper aggressive for no reason and whine about poses when I was just lining up figures to show him what Bane should look like next to Batman and now for some reason I'm Hitler.
>>11820903Your posts do read like something out of Mein Kampf, and you do line your toys up for execution in front of brick walls.
>>11820874A lot of mcfarlanes can go 150. it's surprising for a company that isn't too good at articulation.
>>11820905What is this even supposed to mean? I've never read Mein Kampf because I wasn't that edgy in high school.
>>11820892>>11820630Hahaha
I don't think many of these 'rumored' figures like Mera, Poison Ivy, etc. are coming out. There just isn't enough time. McFarlane's vault preorders already hitting up to October. They can't release anything after December (presumably)
>>11820922Why do people get mad when their McFarlanes can't pose well but people seem fine with kid core figures from Mattel limits like no ankle joints and torso articulation? Is it just a different audience?
>>11820925Probably because they're $13 as opposed to almost $30 and that they're specifically not catering to collectors while still working well as stand ins. Are you going to shitpost all day when the collector line comes out too?
>screeches about being the victim>publicly calls for the people he doesn't like to be removed>shelves are literal concentration camps>toys are only brought out to be shot (at least only with a camera)Calm down, Adolf.
>>11820930Who are you talking to?
>>11820925Must be different audience. I’m fine with McFarlane, I have some myself. I’m just really enjoying this kids line more than I thought I would. I like them better because they are pinless and inexpensive.
>>11820931The beer hall.
>>11820935Something that costs more money tends to be held to a higher standard. Thus, people are more critical of McFarlane's than they are of the Mattel Core line. Not sure why this gets your knickerbockers in a twist.
>>11820926The anger at McFarlanes not posing well went back to before they were ridiculously priced, back when they were still $20 and $23
>>11820932>that waist swivel
>>11820939I knew you were going to say that.
>>11820936the figures are fucking dogshit and were going to be stuck with them for eternity again
>>11820941yeah probably cause its trash
now he's just gonna ragepost every sixty seconds for the rest of the day
I didn't realize the Batmobile was on shelves already. Spontaneous Target run worked out great for me. And got a discount too.
>>11820938Well yeah, because when you compare them to their contemporaries in the same price bracket for the same target demographic and they posed like shit. Comparing a McFarlane to a Marvel Legend for example tells you all you need to know. Todd has good ideas that are just not implemented well. Ball joints for ankles and wrists, ball joint and cap for shoulders, and ball jointed torsos, mostly just the use of ball joints. Even Hasbro has started to adopt similar articulation by adding ball wrists to their Black Series figures and starting to implement the new shoulder system in Marvel Legends. But all those good ideas were burdened by issues. The ratchets in the ankles and wrists were far too big, causing the ankle or wrist to never rest in a good neutral position, if you wanted to stand your figure up in a neutral position, you had to rest the joint in between two of the ratchet points and that's just annoying. The shoulders felt kind of limited at times, and Marvel Legends has demonstrated that they don't need to be, plus for characters like Nightwing, they were too lazy to paint the shoulder caps which would break up the costume design. The torso joints were often limited for seemingly no reason, hindering range of movement, and the proportions were all over the place with sausage thighs and what not. Yeah, there was a lot of things to complain about with the line, especially when comparing it to something in it's same class. >>11820948I don't even really collect McFarlane, so I'm not sure why you think I'm the one raging about the kids line. I actually think it's pretty good.
>>11820948Jeets like this are why I can't afford RAM or a new SSD.
>>11820951Nice! Lucky!
>>11820953MLs were $23 rather quickly after DCMV launched, only a few years, and DCMV stayed at $20 for longer. Meanwhile these 13 dollar things with horrible limitations get lauded when they're 7 bucks less than $20 mcfarlanes that got shitcanned by posters here when they launched. The psychology of that $12.99 vs $19.99 is just too big a hurdle for you guys I guess. Even the complaining about torso articulation being limited when with the core line it isn't even there.
>>11820972Sorry that it upsets you anon, but maybe people just had lower expectations of the Core line and those expectations were blown out of the water. McFarlane and DC Core aren't trying to compete with one another. They're catering to two different demographics at two different price points. But whatever, you do you and keep getting mad at the fact that people are enjoying the Core line for what it is. I'll never understand why some of you get so fucking bothered by complete strangers who you'll never meet liking something that you don't. I don't like McFarlanes and don't collect them, but you don't see me sperging out whenever someone wants to discuss them. Some of you barely qualify as people with this type of behavior.
>>11820980This.
>>11820948Posting AI should be a bannable offense.
>>11821043For real. It's literally the lowest quality posting
As someone who likes both Core and Multiverse I'd say Core is like a checklist of all the things people wanted Mcfarlane to change. 6 inch, better proportions, smooth elbows and knees, no ratchets, cheaper, even the name implies you'll get "Core" versions of the characters and not be stuck with Injustice or Longbow Hunters Green Arrow. Unfortunately we're not getting any of the stuff Todd's guys got right.
>>11820948You're like the only one who posts AI Jarret. Just leave your trip on so you get filtered.
>>11820980I don't understand that behavior either man but it's how personal it choose to conduct themselves here. I don't like it but I can't change it, all I can do is leave. Another thing that bugs me are people bitching about posing or not posting toys etc yet they never post anything themselves. Idk, this place just isn't fun.
>>11821053How can a Core only line really exist for very long? Eventually you run out of Core versions of characters that kids would even buy. There's no way Star Sapphire or Larfleeze would get made in Core.
>>11821063Batman, Robin, and Joker, reissues but slightly different.
>>11821043fuck off, it’s delightful
>>11821074No it fucking is not
>>11821074go prompt a ai dcgen and stay there then
>>11821043>>11820930
>>11821075oh yes it is
>>11821092its amazing how every time i think you might be redeemable you immediately remind me exactly why every one fuckin' hates you
>>11821106I at least take some solace in knowing he's a legit idiot who can't even figure out that a 6in scale figure won't scale with a 7in one.
>>11821061I complain about people not posting toys, yet I'm one of the handful of people who still does that isn't Valley Forge. Although now I'm Hitler apparently because I went and upset our special little snowflake.
>>11821064But that will be the same thing everyone hates McFarlane Toys for doing...
>>11821171literally no one hates that
>>11821106>>11821110>>11821119>>11820948
Anybody buy the Coremobile yet? Doesn't it have a bunch of gimmicks like combining with the Robincycle?
>>11821063Play packs3 characters in the box for a packaged story you make up yourself. Perfect gifts. Just run in and grab a play pack and whoever you’re getting it for is set.
>>11821180People constantly hate on McFarlane Toys for releasing too many Batmen
>>11821196Yes two of those were mine, I wasn't exactly trying to hide it.
>>11821063>There's no way Star Sapphire or Larfleeze would get made in Core.depends on how they handle it. the wwe line puts all kinds of lower and mid card wrestlers exclusively in their basic line because they're not worth making elite figures of.
>>11821228If that happens, collectors would get pissed because of the shit articulation of their favorites and no higher tier option. If Todd could make a Larfleeze then Mattel definitely can. It makes more sense to make the collector line entirely ignoring the core, making the core only for younger fans or poorer fans.
>>11821233they don't care. they've been pissing off wwe collectors for 16 years
>>11821236wwe collectors Are actual retards tho
>>11821240well the guy in charge of that line is in charge of the dc lines too so get ready to join the retards i guess
>>11821240Lol where do you think you are?
>>11821217basedboy youtubers arent people
>>11821241You keep saying this stupid shit and I’ve proven you wrong multiple times. He’s responsible for core only not the collector line
>>11821273capelet
>>11821273The legs are ball joints right? Can the legs come off?
>>11820381Because they both smell and robin laid an egg.
>>11821276youre really not doing the figure any favors with these
>>11821275It would be extremely painful
>>11821275Yes, they are ball joints.The legs probably can come off with heat.
>>11821281I didn’t realize that I should not be posting these figures on here. I appreciate your feedback. I am sorry, I sincerely apologize.I will stop posting.I hope everyone has a good weekend.
>>11821285i didnt say stop lol i meant the cape
>>11821286Don't lol at him, Hitler.
>>11821293Best thread on /you/.
>>11821293Beast thread on /toy/
>>11821293This one.
>>11821284Awesome! Can't wait to get some sexy lady legs on my Dick.
>>11821293Nothing beats gay batman
>>11821292Laut auflachen
>>11821293Azrael, free them from their plastic prisons!
welp, my walmart literally has 0 DC anything now. no todd, no matt, no beast, no neca. hell no hotwheels either
>>11821319email todd, he might come out to your walmart.
Too much trip fagging
>>11821319Mine just clearanced a bunch of Multiverse and the Spinmaster Superman figures but has some Todds in the electronics and those Spinmaster ninja figures.
Too much fag tripping
I remember people always saying Azrael was cringe and hyper edgy but now his toys are very popular. It seems like these things just go in cycles, where a character can be rejected at first but becomes accepted and a favorite later just by sheer persistence.
>>11821350growing up with azrael figures with no context is also a bonus for some people probably, just a cool design
>>11821271steve ozer is over all of action figures at mattel and hands-on with the collector line per multiple interviews now. he said he doesn't even know who sculpted the core line.
>>11821397You dumb piece of shit
>>11821403suck my dick, nerd!
>>11821406Nta but doesn’t that mean he’s right Also neat
>>11821408no. just because your toys are for small children is no excuse for your reading comprehension to match. it directly disputes his claim that he's " responsible for core only not the collector line"
>>11821414So you’re both wrong. Who cares.
>>11821416Neck paint is rough
>>11821417i'm not wrong at all, retard
Nobody gives a shit you cum fermenting faggot
If these toys are for kids why are they promoting them to adults? Kids don't watch middle aged nerds talk about toy lines on live streams. If anything that would scare them away from caring about toys.
>>11821430Who cares
I’m starting to get worried. We’re all hoping the collector line is like motu chronicles but what if it really is just core with added articulation? If they were $22 max I guess I wouldn’t have a problem but non wired capes for collector would be a deal breaker so I’d just go import for caped characters. I don’t think Mattel is going to wiff this but they need to go ahead and show us an example of their collector line for people to get a realistic idea.
What's wave 2 of the Mattel DC kids line going to be?
>>11821438SupermanJohn Stewart Black Batman Jokerized Batman Wave 3 isDeathstroke Scarecrow Wonder Woman TBD Take WW with a grain of salt
>>11821439There’s also supposed to be a joker van
>>11821434the wwe line is your best comparison point right now. wwe basics are like $11, have similar articulation scheme to the core dc line, while elites are $25ish and seamlessly fit into a collection of basics, but with more articulation. don't be surprised to see core parts reused in the collector line. the wwe elite line is inconsistent with accessories. sometimes they're softgoods, sometimes they're just soft plastic shells that impede articulation. the real thing you'll want to hope for is that the collector line is closer to the wwe ultimate line, but even then those are pretty inconsistent. some are great, extra articulation than the elites, more accessories, better accessories, and sometimes they're nothing special but still $35.
>>11821434>if it really is just core with added articulation?screencap this then because that is exactly what it’s going to be. WWE has been their cash cow and they’re going to follow that exact formula. the shit WWE basics aren’t much different from their “Elite” line, and then there’s a further, slightly less shitty step above that they charge a premium price for because you get a toe joint and a butterfly joint.the problem with some (most) of you is that you weren’t around for Mattel’s bullshit with DCUC. they will buck the shit out of you, cut every corner, and have the same distribution problems you bitched about with Todd. you are going to be disappointed, full stop.
>>11821476>>11821483Old news. I posted this over a year ago to give everyone an idea of what the future may hold.
Whiny faggots
Any word on a Core Wonder Woman yet? That might just push me over the edge even before we get the collector line.
>>11821350I think it's because, on average, the new stuff that's coming out of most franchises just gets worse and worse, so it makes people look back fondly on what they used to be dismissive of. The Star Wars sequels making the prequels looks better by comparison are one of the clearest examples of this.
>>11821483Bro, I've been buying motu for 6 years now, I think I'm aware of mattel and their re use. Now, it'd be funny af to me to see people getting excited for new parts like we used to do with motu origins

>>11821430Because they know dude bro collectors (especially mexicans) will buy them because they're cheap and then double dip when the actual collector figures come out.

all these people posing and having fun with Core kids line figures, but none of us pose and have fun with mcfarlanes like that. Why? Is it because we dread trying to get them to stand up properly, are the ratchets too rigid? is the plastic not gummy enough?
>>11822234there’s that one retard with wonder woman in the same stupid pose all the time
>>11821489That savage buck looks unnatural and horrific
>>11822234Core isn’t gummy at all. They feel great.
>>11821489You also swore they’d be 7 inches and be reused parts. Just shut up you doomer faggot
>>11822237gummy joints are good. that is what allows you to stop a pose in the middle of a ratchet to get more posability--rather than being limited to say 6 positions due to the number of ratchets in the joint.
>>11822239They're not ratcheted like that at all
I've stopped counting the days I've spent waiting at walmarts across the greater southern Illinois area looking and hoping to find those sweet sweet mattel core (children's line) DC action figurines. It seems I'm destined to die alone, un loved and without a new figgy to stuff up my bussy. I did get lucky at Ollie's (good stuff cheap©) and found a copy of Superman:Doomsday so I'm almost done re reading the death and return of Superman. Never read these comics, but for $4 I'll give it a chance. I also found Hardware season one from the Milestone universe (?) not sure how Milestone ties into that era of DC but I think he looks cool and really deserves a figure since Todd has done a couple of Static figures and one Icon figure if I'm not mistaken. Idk, the book has sienkiewicz art so I'll enjoy it regardless of continuity. And the book that made these pointless trips actually worthwhile for me, silver surfer epic collection vol 6, Thanos Quest. Silver surfer #50 was one of the first books I bought with my money so not only is it a banger of a story but it's got sentimental value. Hey, maybe I'll the mattel stuff next week. I just don't see a need to order them yet, the pics that you guys post helped convince me to give them a shot and I guess I'm just getting antsy to give the figures a try.
>>11822255Are you kidding? We collectors get ratcheted slop in McFarlanes, MLs, Classified and Black series while the DC core line gets smooth normal joints like we used to have on figures back in the 90s? What the fuck?
>>11821350Never read any Batman comics in the 90s but I'd see them on the racks at the checkout line. Azreal was just cool looking. Didn't know anything about him, just that it's Batman in a metal suit. Adult me just has a nostalgia boner for the design. thankfully Todd realized his mistake in gate keeping the figure behinds exclusives and platinum chase. Just picked mine up today while picking up bread and milk at a local walmart. Still don't know anything about the character past that it's not actually Bruce Wayne.
>>11822280His real name is John Paul Valley Forge and he's a crazy homeless man Bruce wanted to be Batman for a while.
>>11822289I will choose to ignore this and continue using my head canon of cool metal Batman.
>>11822261And they are buttery
>>11822289Heh
>>11822238No.
>>11822280There's a chinese hair in your package on Azrael's face
It kills me that we're never gonna get figures of Morrison-era Doom Patrol. You'd think McFarlane would at least do punk Robotman
>>11822368Faggot shit
>>11822280>>11822289He's a violent vigilante from an ancient order of assassins who Bruce allowed to replace him after Bane broke his back. Over time he gets more and more extreme, alienating the rest of the Bat Family, telling them to fuck off and that he works alone. He eventually starts getting to the point where he's like the Punisher and kills a bad guy, which from what I recall causes an innocent victim to die. Bruce then gets healed and they fight over the mantle of Batman.
>>11822368I always thought we'd get this shit by now.It's essentially three characters after all, wouldn't be hard to complete.
>>11822392yeah it rules>>11822403Especially since they had a TV show!
>>11822368I liked the story with The Brotherhood of Dada where the Justice League gets sucked into a painting. Dee Tyler, the second Phantom Lady, was in the background and aside from her four issue intro in Action Comics, that's her only appearance until she gets killed by Deathstroke during some meme event.I suspect Grant Morrison fucking loves Phantom Lady. He mentioned her in Supergods and she keeps showing up in his comics.
>>11822280Ironically he was the one character that pushed me to read Batman comics for sounding like an interesting foil to Batman, beyond just constantly watching TAS as a kid. The whole Knightfall saga was like a gateway drug for me.
Painted the clock tower and added some darker blues and greys to highlight the shape without making it too distracting.Cut some foam to eyeball how the forward bat patio section will look. Thinking some trees between the buildings and the platform to add more depth.I'm going to finish the frame and sculpting the rocky cave wall before I paint the buildings anymore, I'm still not sure how bright or dark they should be and throwing slabs of white foam right next to them isn't helping. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have all the construction done and all that'll be left is painting.
>>11822644Nobody asked
>>11822644That's awesome, keep us updated!
Fuck you jarred>Unmans your starman
>>11822761That's neat!If you don't mind some criticism, I think you'd be better off finding some star-shaped stickers the appropriate size, applying them where you want stars, and then securing them with a top coat of some kind. Stars are one of the main sticker shapes, so it should be easy to find ones the right size at a well stocked hobby/art supply store.
>>11822771Didn't think that'd stay on. The shop that made vinyl stickers closed so i just said fuck it I'll learn how to paint a star.
>11822453>11822644>11822750
>>11822368It kills you? It guts me. I really do enjoy DP, I'll take any version of robot man and Todd and keep with the monkey themed mini figures by packing a Dorthy in with Cliff. Ah well it's too late for Todd and mattel likely won't touch the team in any version, but they did make a bee girl for their superheroine doll line several years ago. Guess the best hope is for a Chinese company to make them.
>>11822761Painting soft parts leaves many with regrets. Beware the cracking. If the figure is articulated a lot it will occur faster. You did sand before applying paint and apply a varnish to seal as well after right?
I might just try to find the kenner figure. I really do like this look, it's corny to give Superman a Batman styled utility belt with pouches but that's what looked cool back then
>>11823000Corny can be good.
>>11823000A leaker promised Todd was going to do this. I saved the Injustice 2 head for making a custom, but they never released a buck with the straps and pouches.I also thought about making a trenchcoat version but generic Superman bodies became kinda scarce, and they started using doll coats instead of plastic.
>>11823061I think it's time we accept that not all the leaks are going to come out. There just isn't enough time. 2026 is basically half way over and some of the preorders are out to September and October. They may have just chosen to rerun the old molds people wanted with this Vault stuff.
>>11823061That would've been pretty neat, Todd didn't seem to be as interested in the various Superman incarnations as he was Batman. It's pretty cool you guys got the blue/red versions of Superman though and with the notable exception of George Reeves Todd did cover the movie versions of Superman.
>Welcome to the Matt cave.
>>11823241Did he ever collect spinmaster?
>>11823241Kek
>>11823061Todd lost the license so they were canceled. It required new sculpting they were no longer willing to do.
>>11823277Are the Absolute DC figures in the leaks fake?
Superman is very angular
>>11823344They’re real. Don’t expect a bunch of unique sculpting.
>>11823364They cant be made without a bunch of unique sculpting as all except Supes require raised portions. Blank bucks wont work.
>>11823367Ok.
>>11823367Homie we got a new 52 supes on a blank buck
>>11822959Skirt is removable so I never have to actually handle it, she's just going to be in a flight stand to look pretty for my JLU collection. She's sealed and I took off a bit on the diaper. I've seen people take their figures into an ass blaster and shit like that to sand them but I don't do that I just take off big rub areas and seal each part individually with a few coats.
>>11823255yes.
>>11823241>biggest dc figure shill on the internet >has never been sent a fucking thingHe’s too based
>>11823241
>>11823241>two of everything He’s all in already lol
>>11823487And he probably never paid for the majority of them. Not being jelly, just I think he is a shill. He kinda looks sus for a unc no cap.
>>11823494He has never been sent anything. He’s shown physical receipts.
Yeah boi
>>11823241Why do you lil bros expect me to know who these literal who Youtubers are?
>>11823518Fag
>>11823518/toy/ has more parasocial relationships than any other board due to increased levels of loneliness and autism.
>>11823526Answer the question>>11823532It's really weird tbqh. Makes me concerned for all the lil zoomers over here who think I should give a fuck who this 20k sub literal who youtuber does.
>>11823376I just said all except supes. They might be able to just ignore the sculpted parts of his suit since supes is a simpler design
>>11823538Well it's pretty obvious he's shilling his channel here. That's why he always has a sense of entitlement and arrogance and why his ego is so fragile
>>11823545doubt.jpg
>>11823543And the new 52 Superman was given as an example of them not even trying to be accurate to source material that required unique sculpt you fucking retard
>>11823552Yeah it's probably someone else who keeps posting about him like he's their best friend
>>11823560More likely than some guy trying to shill his channel on this dead board.
How much have you spent bros?
>>11823605FYI every shown off 6 inch Mattel core figure and vehicles comes to around $330.
Saw Mattel’s collector line per my Chinese retailer friend. Welp some of you will be happy and some of you will come around or move to imports.
>>11823628If they aren't like Chronicles or WWE Ultimates, they're making a mistake. I mention the latter now because it looks like they've made a good few updates to those bodies, that will hopefully translate to Chronicles as well (the joints are there, the range isn't in some spots).
Oh and what that other anon ways saying about them releasing in October instead of January looks possible. They will definitely be getting sold over there by then. I guess he wasn’t bullshiting about being an insider lol
>>11823635I will never understand why anyone that works for a toy company would post here. Why risk your job leaking to a handful of retards that don’t even believe you and call you a faggot?
>>11823639EgoAnonymity Talking to people on social media is just exhausting
>>11823639If it were me I’d do it out of spite. I’d make lists of everyone’s most wanted figures and make sure they weren’t made. Jarret would be on suicide watch.
>tfw a thread I like just got schizo(s) as bad as this threadIts over...
>>11823518We have a vtuber board that can't be true.
>>11823645Mattel and McFarlane are too cowardly to make a Phantom Lady anyway. My hopes are in some independent toy company making public domain heroes with kickstarters or something, but then she'd probably be like three inches tall and it'd be the red and blue version instead of the lemon and lime.I'm fully aware of how fucked I am and that's why I'm teaching myself how to use blender and make my own Phantom Lady minis, busts, and statues.
Or they'd give her the wrong colored goggles.Man, there's so many collectors who want iconic old school characters and here's one of the first female superheroes, written by one of the first female writers in comics, Ruth Roche, and drawn by a gay black man, Matt Baker, who together made a comic considered so scandalous that a schizo psychiatrist named Frederick Wertham screeched at Congress about Phantom Lady and it lead to the creation of the Comics Code. An important character with an important history in both the DC universe and the comics industry, but I guess McFarlane and Mattel are just milking the cow instead of making toys that matter."Cowards and thieves," I tell my Phantom Lady shrine.
>>11823708No one asked, stop talking to yourself.
Possible digital prototype renders of the Absolute figures.
>>11823894Nobody cares. That shit is fucking retarded
>>11823949Fuckin based. The Asbolute line is tryhard dogshit
>>11823628>Saw Mattel’s collector line per my Chinese retailer friend.>I won't tell you anything except for cryptic shit because I'm anon and nobody would get in trouble if I spill the beans>No, I'm totally NOT the same liar that's tried saying I'm an insider and other bullshit liesBabby want attention? Nom nom nom suck on this (((you)))Mah Dad works for Nintendo too!
>>11823255some of it, theyre not in his preferred scale
>>11824017>discussing another man's preferred scale>>11823545
>>11824037ywnbapl
>>11824074i think they left black adam in the oven too long.
>>11824074Check out the juggs on those twoHubba hubba
>>11824124Yeah the two on bottom middle and right? They've got some niiiice racks.
>>11823605 This is why only dumb people say increases from $20 to $27 or $20 to $35* are nothing; because if you really collect a line, an increase like that will add up.*CEs are basically just regular McFarlanes, there is nothing special about them, I didn't consent to those added accessories and card stands
>>11823703Kickstarters for toys are kind of winding down. We may be outside the time when that will fly anymore.There would also be no sense in having a sexy character like Phantom Lady made by Mattel or McFarlane. They would botch her and make her look far worse than that toy you have at >>11823708Only fully Chinese toy companies like Inart or Xesray could make her properly.
>>11823894Seems too good to be current mcfarlane so I'm skeptical these are real.
>>11824285putting their best in to squeeze another year out of the license
>>11824313You don't know anything at all. Why are you talking?
>>11824319the ride will never end
>>11824127I was too busy staring at their dingalings to notice those sweet tits, I'm gonna need a new tune of personal lubricant for this wave.
>>11824313As far as anyone knows there is no McFarlane DC line after 2026
>>11824340Only in our hearts.
>>11824274China gets pissy about the Statue of Liberty in Spooderman movies so I doubt they're going to spontaneously make a Phantom Lady. If one of them does announce a PL then McFarlane or Mattel would definitely make a version
>>11824377You lie so much
>>11824370Remember McFarlane Toys for the good times, not for what it became.
>>11824391that batman sucked ass
>>11824398Then buy knightfall a year or so later
What was a DC Multiverse figure you were genuinely excited to find? Or maybe a figure were looking forward to when their release was confirmed? I like the lesser known characters so figures like wave rider or animal man or the JSA version Mr terrific were really cool to hear about. But the figure I was most stressed out over hoping to find or buy, for non scalper prices, was Wesley Dodds aka the Sandman. Im not that familiar with his golden age stuff but I really enjoyed Mystery Theatre and I like the JSA and that whole corner of DC with All Star Squadron and Infinity Inc. So while I normally won't let myself get bent out of shape over a toy this figure really got into my brain and today I remembered just how often I was checking target or eBay etc. As soon as I found one for $28 I jumped in and even paid for faster shipping just to make sure I actually had a Sandman figure. I can't really think of a figure from the series that was so make or break for me, I likely may have just stopped collecting them if I missed out on him. Have any of you felt this way about a specific figure? Which one?
if any figure needs a "greatest hits rerelease" or whatever its this guy. we have 239876423 knightfalls already
>>11824391>The good times>A b8nch of shit no one wanted so it binned hardLmao
>>11824391It was bad from the start dude
>>11824444They have used that mold tons of times, sometimes with a better wired cape
>>11824459I own 3 of those and alternate bucks of 3. They are good figures for the price I got them for. But do enjoy even worse figures for $34.99>>11824464Not for $12-$20 depending on the figure
>>11824476yeah but the only instance of it looking good is the year two figure and the spawn two pack one which are both a pain to find now, where all the knightfalls are easy to get still outside of the night people one
>>11823954Fitting for McFarlane.
>>11824476it'd be a good opportunity to get rid of that plastic cowl piece to make it more seamless, they even have the tooling to do it with the first appearance figures torso
Nightly update.Carved an arch into the cave side. I'll use rolled up foil to add a rocky texture to the flat side, but there's a lot more cave face than I expected so maybe I'll make a mount for all the extra batarangs I never use.Also put Robin in with Batman for the first time and their capes cover up most of the buildings I've been painting all week, so that's cool.
>>11824819The only man unafraid to post diorama progress notes here. He's committed, he must finish it
Stop replying to yourself
I'm bummed about Multiverse ending right after we get a CWverse Supergirl. There's a lot of cool figures they could have done with that door opened, like Red Daughter or Dreamer
>>11824971Cw hot nazi supergirl when
>>11824819>>11824953Faggot.
>>11825098Is your monitor on?
>>11824819>quick to the gloryhole
>>11825122kek
>>11824971So I did an image search and Google ai suggested that the tv supergirl portrays this character?
>>11825170Isn't it just the Nazi version of her?
Here at last. My dick is seeing some action tonight.
>>11825175Gee anon I wonder what you are implying here. It seems it may be you are going to take out your Robin figure and have fun posing with Batman fighting crime. I am sure that is what you mean.
I need to dust. It’s funny a Mattel figure works better than a mcfarlane figure in the 89 Batmobile.
>>11825213>>11825215>>11825216FUN!!!
>>11825213...Wait, there's a hole in his cape? Is that there on every one?
>>11825236Yes it’s for plug in gear
>mfw I get wave 2
>>11825242If McFarlane had done that people would be screeching just like they did about the "taped" capes in Super Powers that didnt "feel" right.
>>11825266Ok.
>>11825278That is the darkseid look people least want
>>11825330i didnt even think that was darkseid at first. jesus
I always miss chase figures in my area but these are always left behind.
>>11825336Thats because no one wants him. At least he has someone to collect him. You are giving a toy a home.
>>11825170>>11825171That's Red Daughter, a duplicate of Supergirl created by Black Kryptonite who ended up in fake post-Soviet state without any memories. She only wears the helmet in like one scene but I would still want a figure of her to include it because girls in faceless helmets are hot
The new McFarlane Supergirl doesn't exactly blow me away, has any fancier company announced one? Like a Figuarts or Mafex or something?
>>11825336I'm hoping that the gangbuster at the other Walmart nearby hits clearance so I can get one to open. Same thing with The Guardian. You guys think mattel will do a Bibbo or Dubbliex? Clawster would be a reasonable choice for the line, kids like to have monsters for superman to fight right?
>>11825366Thanks for the pic. I think gi Joe classified has two female figures with helmeted heads, the ferret atv driver and the baroness with coil bike. The ferret driver has a more ATV helmet with a brim while the baroness has a more typical fullface helmet.
>>11825366you don't need anything like that.
>>11825402Fuck yeah bro
>>11825399no one needs any action figures at all, but I still want it.
>>11825402If Mattel does this for under $25 I’d be fine with it.
>>11825415You know what fuck it. Yeah I’d take this in a heartbeat as long as the cape was wired. This would with their wwe model of doing shit like we all suspected.
>>11825415
>>11825415>>11825425DOODLEFAG!
>>11825415MOTU is 27.99. No way its less than that.
>>11825433My mans said if. A Batman buck you can resell more times than a heman buck or any other motu character that requires unique sculpting. Most dc characters cold be blank bucks with overlays.
These masks look like they’re meant for adults. Will let you know. I have flash coming tomorrow.
>>11825544>>11825544>>11825544
>>11825368They have, I forget which but the Hot Toys or something is already up for preo-rder at BBTS or EE or some such. I'm sure everyone else will follow. I'm pretty sure I saw a Fondjoy or Bandai SHF Lobo or some other import, plus the bike.>>11825366Only after I get my Crisis Routh and my Flesicher Hoechlin.
>>11825439Dc characters have to cover license costs and heman doesn't. Also heman lines heavily reuse body bucks and just change armor
>>11825278ABSOLUTELY nothing I want. Exactly like this: >>11824391 but less wangst and drumm.And I really regret buying the SDCC Superman/Batman Silver Age composite from the con (well ordering it during). It looks fine but I see people selling it for $20 less today when scalpers were charging $100 or more last winter just a month or so when I received the preorder I got for like $75. Last time I pre-order anything >>11825215Is that the Strange Portal or the CT that comes with the Tobster? If it's the CT -- are those sturdy?
>>11825835Strange. It’s solid.
>>11825439>motu character that requires unique sculptingExcuse me?
>>11824391Only like two of those are actually good. At best.
I'm so glad this 7 inch shenanigans will be over.
>>11825266Except this line is explicity for kids.
>>11826033Given all you guys buying it now Im not so sure.
>>118260327in is a bad scale but Mattel will never make the same kind of figures Todd did in the first 2-3 years so it was never really a choice for me. Maybe Mattel will make Absolute figures and I should wait for those though. Anyone think Absolutes from Mattel are basically a certainty?
>>11826080That's the idea anyway. They're making better ones later on I think. Batman addiction is pretty strong though, right.
>>11826118Like what, Speeding Bullets Batman? Do you really need more than one Speeding Bullets Batman?That is the new hotness nowadays, makes sense that they'd get to those pretty soon. Kinda like what happened with Metal.
>>11826204It's kind of assuming Mattel's figures will be better, easier to pose than Todd's. That's why one would want a Mattel Speeding Bullets instead of Todd's. I never actually got Todd's.
>>11821429Awesome pose, anon
>>11825946Thanks. Just bought two for $13 each, free shipped.I'll still probably buy the CT and Tobeyman but hey, it's less money than a greasy Toddler figure, they won't be wearing lipstick, plus the front AND back look like they are fully painted!
>>11823000You can also head-canon that it's Jor-El, like maybe the Superman/Jor-El equivalent of Flashpoint Thomas Wayne as Batman. Or it's Jor-El doing research on another planet before Krypton goes kablooey.
