going gangbuster editionprevious: >>11820375
I finally know the joy of standing a figure in front of a brick wall. Should I paint it orange as an homage to my number one fan's alley display?
>>11825544>>11825547Faggot.
>>11825544A gang of gangbusters is known as a gangbang
>>11825544nice. I’m Gangbustanon and even I only bought two.
I was at Target and saw a couple shopping together in the toy aisle. They went to the McFarlane section in the regular aisle then went to check the Collector's section. They kept watching me and looking at my hands to see what I was holding so I moved to the Lego section to watch them from a distance. They didn't pick up anything from the shelves.Freddy and Black Freddy. Some Batmans. The Mongul and Superman pack.
>>11825593the consensus is that these beast kingdom figures suck, right
>>11825593That Superman looks more like the guy from Big Bang Theory than Henry Cavill.
>>11825593Great, someone finally made Fat Lobo!
>>11825548THAT'S 'TTENTION HOMOTO YOU, SISTER!
It's over Grodd! Batman was just playing along with your "mind control"!
>>11825804Lol forgot pic.
>>11825805Aquaman sure looks heavily detailed next to those soft sculpts
>>11825791Lobese
Better pic of the Absolute figures. Not my thing and not bothering with the line at all anymore this close to the end, but looks like Todd at least put some effort into them.
>>11825856
Is there really no one else willing to make a good DC General?
>>11825889Not really.
>>11825889Maybe when the Mattel collector figures come out.
>>11825889Same faggots would just ruin it with their bullshit routines, do you think the op is the reason these threads suck? Would a different op attract a different group of skins some how? Even bitching about the op is a faggot bullshit routine. It's happens ever thread, it's the same shit in every thread. Call people attention whoreBitch about opSpam "quit talking to yourself"Obsess over a trip fagEtc etc etc
>>11825889Basically what >>11825921 says. The thread isn't shit because of the terrible OP, the terrible OP exists because the thread is so shit. If this thread wasn't such a shit show I'm sure someone would be willing to take it over and maintain it, but why bother when it's just one retard replying to himself over and over again and then acting like a pissy little bitch whenever someone else with toys posts.
>>11825938Sounds like a hachi little chachi
>>11825243>PHOTOGRAPHER>HAD >ONE >JOBlittle girl should have been wearing the cucumber face mask
>>11825889There's no point. Nearly everyone who posts here is highly autistic and can't handle people talking about toylines they don't like so they shit up the thread.
>>11825805Double knees with no ankle stuff is such an odd choice.
>>11825856I still think these will either be like $60 or fake AI creations. It doesn't fit current mcfarlane for them to be new molds at base dcmv price.
>>11825889DC is in a state of flux right now. We've pretty much said all there is to be said about the McFart stuff and we only have the DC kiddie line to go on from Mattel.I do like the face sculpt on the Joker that's out right now.
>>11826019There's supposedly an Elite Batman also coming with his axe, and long chainsaw he used in the Poison Ivy arc, while the regular one just comes with that buzzsaw.
>>11825889Every once in a while, when I am not as busy as I typically am, and something has amused me in a current thread, I'll waste the time and energy but you assholes ALWAYS still complain.It's not always at either the level of >>11825921 or >>11825938 but nothing on 4chan, the opinions or concerns of the vast majority of you, McFarlane or anything else makes clearly anyone want to spend even the energy on making posts, much less an OP. tl;dr :: DC Patio & Greasy Diaper Service General Gets the OP it Deserves, not the General or OP it Needs
>>11826106I still don't quite understand the value of an op image and how it affects the overall thread or any potential discussions that may be had. Sure, I see the importance of listing the upcoming releases or other pieces of significant information that might be handy to know. Never once understood why it has to be one anon and only that anon who starts a new thread either. Is there a vote to decide who creates a new thread and which image is used and what information is posted in the op? Idk man, I just come here to chill out and possibly see some neat oc or say a few things about whatever catches my attention. Im a fairly well read fan of DC comics and I enjoy action figures and other things related to DC comics, so that's why I come here and that's what I'd like to see here, just anons talking about DC comics and toys made of them. Maybe I'm expecting too much, or maybe I'm just coming to wrong place to enjoy DC stuff.
>>11826126I think people just want the OP to not be such a shitpost every time. Like you said, listing upcoming release info is great. Other threads do it, SHF, Dragon Ball, Marvel, TMNT, Lego. It's just kind of the way things are done around here. It feels like the OP doesn't do it just to be spiteful.
Gamestop's website says core wave 2 comes out in August.
What are you doing to make Detective Comics Comics General a more wecloming place?
>>11825599beast kingdom hit/miss, inart good but can't pick a scale
>>11826147holy fuck that's a huge bitch
>>11826147Are you the anon that actually built a He-Man diorama?
>>11826205No he hates MotU and only likes Freedom Force and Star Wars.
>>11826212Oh... well, I'm with him on the Freedom Force. Good game. Has anon played Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.? I think they'd like that one.
>>11826205Like a tabletop board but sized for action figures?>>11826215>>11826212Walmart has tiny American flags for $1 right now that are perfect for 1/10 or 1/12 scale patriotic heroes.
>>11826215>Code Name: S.T.E.A.MPatrician taste, its failure and FE Fatewakening's success proves we live in a dark timeline indeed
>>11826240Batman in the day on a clear blue sky is weird imo
>>11826194Nacelle are retarded and made it a 1/10th line
>>11826240Are you truly never going to get a non-custom Cyborg Superman even now that he's easy to get?
>>11826287Is this a clear blue sky, too?>>11826306I have one on pre-order but I kinda like how my Hank is metallic and looks more robotic. I remember the first release had a decal sticker or something that made it a dealbreaker, but the vault edition has a sculpted symbol.I think in the long run I'll regret not getting a comic accurate version for cheap when I could have, so for $30 why not? Same reason I'm getting a backup Wonder Woman.
>>11826321The vault version is the same--both were sculpted symbols. Though there was a red and black version that was Target only. And there was a New52 version that was a totally different mold/look.
>>11826321No that looks like the night sky. Yours doesn't look like that though.
>>11826132And yet, when I took the time to gather all that information, y'all still bitched and moaned. When I said it took time, y'all just bitch and moaned and the Marvel General imbecile of an OP just had to chime in that it takes him 4 seconds to do an OP (which is frankly just copy pasta from Pulse and repeating 2 to 3 imports, if that). Jarrett regurgitates my OPs - including the typos I intended to correct and doesn't even fixed the numbering, and y'all accuse me of being as much of an ass picture shit-poster OP as the attention ho. No one wants to do because y'll are fucking ungrateful assholes.>>11826126>the value of an op image and how it affects the overall thread or any potential discussions that may be had.I tried picking recent or upcoming images, particularly non-McFarlane images, and certainly not the laziest possible LOLZ images like the current >>11825544 or recent ones Jarrett's always shoots for >>11803164Something has to be used, another reason why I started doing mine like I did was to differentiate when it was clearly Not A Jarrett OP - I don't actually give a fuck if people want to shit on me as an OP, but only when I am actually the one who did the work.
>>11826443Your OPs were good, anon. Everyone should've been able to see that
>>11826443>Still seething because I was surprised it took you hours or whatever you said to put together and OPJesus Christ, you guys hold on to such dumb grudges. I completely forgot about that tbqh. I never said your OP was bad, just that it doesn't take me as long to gather info, maybe because I keep a note or something when something gets announced so it's readily available for new threads. I dunno. Sorry I got you so mad that like a month or two later you're still stewing on it.
If the title says "DC general" why do we need a retarded picture. The gangbuster picture communicated something funny and DC related. Why do we need all the information on releases? If someone wants to know can't they look into it? How many of us are actually going to throw out cash into the fire for fucking blokes, line art, or mattel childrens lines. Besides the guy trolling about his awful looking Batman and Flash figures we're all just waiting for Todd to die and for the "Collectors" core of Mattel.
>>11826507Lmao. Lol bro got mad that people don't like his low effort OPs. Just try harder and maybe we wouldn't shit in you.
>>11826507>Actually apologizes for someone making shitty OPs when other gens have at least decent info in the OP about figure releasesweird behavior
>>11826507I like leaving out the walls of text nobody reads because it forces people to discuss new releases in the thread instead of this gay ass meta bitching nobody cares about.It's just one faggot who throws a hissy fit about the quality of OPs and all he does is drag promo pics into mspaint and put some Lisa Frank text on them like an 8 year old girl.>waaaaaa you didn't copy my OP>waaaaaa you copied my OPIt's always a bitch fit, it's never mattered, he just wants attention. Fuck him.
And if a list is so important he could just follow up OP posts with them, then he'd actually be contributing instead of this inane whining 50+ posts into the thread about not being appreciated for his shit ass mspaint edits. It's a waste of time feeding into his delusions, he's just another crazy asshole on 4chan.
>>11826611I read them, illiterate retard
WWE ultimates with ball joint waist.
Marvel legends DC.
Cheaper.
Wired capes.
>>11826636Mattel is more than that. But DC as a license is expensive. People will pay a premium for new DC collectibles soon, anon.
>>11826648See you at comic con.
>>11826651New Mattel collector line: $19.99?
>>11826654The prices will surprise everyone.
>>11826648Of course they will, because we're all going to suffer from the war raising prices on everything.
>>11826636WWE Ultimates have ball joint waists now. That would be mostly Chronicles style too, though I'd prefer the smooth joints those have.
>>11826664>WWE Ultimates have ball joint waists now.Almost like they’re implementing them across all their collector lines
>>11826636So literally the dc line is literally this?
>>11826657Low or high?
>>11826670There's no reason to include the 'Elite' type body in the mix, must as well just be Ultimate/Chronicles all the way through.
>>11826670Metaphorically speaking?
>>11826672>>11826673Hypothetically
>>11826670Horde the McFarlanes, we will never see their like again.
>>11826677Yes, this would be ideal if they want to stick to this format. We'll get a first look at them soon, if they're as good as Chronicles (and I'd assume they'd be even better by the time of release, and I'd likewise expect Chronicles to have better range of movement at that point) it's going to be a very good line. Only remaining question would be how will the price look, accessories, things like capes, etc. If they have an Ultimate price point line that could be the place to have wired capes, assuming the regular collector figures won't feature them.
>>11826681You realize that "Ultimate" Cody figure looks pretty bad though right? What a weird ass face sculpt and horrible "paint" on the chest.
I’m fine with this. Most figures just need overlays and chest emblems anyway. If there’s a third tier for a deluxe with unique sculpting that can trinkle down to the regular line then that’s fine.
>>11826683Mattel’s real world faces are hit or miss. They have 3d scans of all their wrestlers so it’s the paint that’s the issue which is funny when you realize they’ll cover a figure in accurate tattoos
This means those kids lines figures will work perfectly with the collector line. Bane, joker, Mr freeze and killer croc (could use a wash) could be a one and done cheap purchase with left over figures to give away or use as fodder.
>>11826696Unless you want the figures to, you know, pose like collectibles and not kids toys.
>>11826683Not about the Cody figure, just the format of the figure + articulation. The ideal I'm talking about it basically 1 basic line and 1 collectors line. Whether that collectors line ends up good or not is a different story, but that's basically what I'm trying to say.
>>11826699Homie they’re all going on a shelf most likely in a museum pose or in the most basic of action poses the require very little articulation anyway. Look at Jarret’s display as an example.
>>11826702Why not just buy statues then?
cody general
>>11826723Is he now an honorary DC character?
>>11826723Cody rhodes or Cody Lane?
>>11826723>oil driller general
>>11826713I can’t slightly pose statues
>>11826732They're already fully posed so you can get a cool look rather than a bland one
>>11826740
Here’s your Batman.
>>11826740>>11826741Anon these were released months ago
>>11826740>>11826741These truly amazing 8 inch figures will not stand, but will look cool not doing it.
>>11826746And you never posted them
>>11826750Because they’re fucking terrible. They look cool but they are ass.
>>11826752You are ass
>>11826764I’m the shit
>>11826702>Homie they’re all going on a shelf most likely in a museum pose or in the most basic of action poses the require very little articulation anywayand suddenly the clouds part, the sun shines, and it's revealed that the problem was never the figures themselves -- the problem people had was todd himself
>>11826740hoping these come to walmart next. the movie figures look okay but the reviews didn't convince me to buy them. these seem better and if i could grab them at that $38 price i wouldn't hesitate
>>11826789>7 inches>diapers>pinsYes the problem WAS Todd
>>11826806
When are we getting DC motu origins?
>>11826806the only legitimate complaint there is the pins
>>11826817Everyone except super7 is moving away from 7 inches including neca.
>>118268177in is too tall, its hard to keep the figures standing in semidynamic poses oftentimes. They are just too heavy.
>>118268177 inch was a huge problem and Todd should just submit to it.
>>118268177 inches killed the line before it started
>>11826830>7in is too tallthis means all the marvel legend bafs don't pose well either given they're 7 inch scale
>>11826843They’re engineered to do so from inception. Todd’s team takes a sculpt a freelancer makes and apply their house articulation scheme.
>>11826853Explain your fucking reason you goddamn retard, any action figure can pose except hot toys because they're faggot ass dolls like what mezco makes
Pose harder, DC general
>>11826843Most don't, many are just giant bricks that have to keep both feet on the ground due to their weight. There are some exceptions like Demogoblin. On the extreme other end, ttry doing anything dynamic with The Void without stands and he'll topple like a Jinga tower.
>>11826823>>11826830>>11826831>>11826841genuinely not a problem. learn to play with toys. wasn't a problem when anyone else, including mattel, does 7inch. seek help.
>>11826870The Mattel Masterverse at 7in with both thigh and boot cuts are sort of an exception unless they're really heavy characters. McFarlanes usually do not have thigh and boot cuts though
>>11826670>shaved, growing, full-chestI like these options
>>11826873Todd has done 6 inch fingers and they have awful joints. I think there's either a tech, legal, or contractual issue that holds Mcfarlane back on articulation. Companies like Blokees can put tons smooth articulation in 5 inch figures while Todd's stuck with almost bricks like his 5 inch A:tla line. Something's up and it can't be simply money or expertise.
>>11825544When will mcfarlane die?
>>11826898Soon
My favorite mattel version of Cody rhodes is Duplico, I hope to add a star dust one day. I hate the cross rhodes.
>>11826898He's 65 so maybe in the next ten years or so.
>>11826744He's already been Batman
>>11826898He'll die from a broken heart after you kys.
>>11826889It definitely can be expertise.
>>11826870It's a problem when I want Batman and Goku to team up to take down Broly, only for batman to be a similar height as Broly. It looks retarded.
>>11826968the concept of batman taking on broly is retarded
>>11826968that fortnte logic of yours sounds super retarded
>>11826962There was a youtuber who does customs who showed what minor change needed to be made to get full ab crunch from Mcfarlanes a few years ago. It was ridiculously simple. There's no way Todd has guys who can sculpt full figures but can't apply this change to the file they copy paste for every new mold.
