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.
>>11826968>it's a problem for Japanese characters to be the manlets they really areNah, DC heightmogging is kino and correct.
>>11826980Nothing is impossible for Batgod with enough prep time.
>>11826889>Blokeesdumb baby toys
I'm the Batman of DC General
>>11826987What THE FUCK! Blokees have small parts which are a choking hazard for small children. If you give an infant a Blokees Hush Batman then you are a baby killer.
>>11827001only applies to americans, who banned kinder eggs
>>11827002I know it's legal to hunt babies in Carbombistan but here in the good old U-S-of-A we protect our children. Just like our hero, Batman.
>>11827006And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Made steaks with my dad and showed him progress pics. He likes the ones with Catwoman's ass the most.The base coats on everything are done, all that's left is highlights. It's hard to tell but there's a fair amount of blue drybrushing on the cave parts to accentuate the blue glow from the backdrop. I picked up some fake branches from a hobby store over the weekend and plan on placing them between the buildings and the cave frame to be more like >>11826321All that's really left is highlights, weathering, and making decoration stuff like pallets and whatnot.
And here's the templates for the walls and how it all breaks apart in case anyone wants to try something similar.
>>11827072>>11827075Who are you talking to? I didn't subscribe to your blog.
>>11826611>bitch>never mattered>just wants >attentionJared Haiku
>>11827194do you understand how open forums work?
I think it's nice that despite our differing opinions on op and general thread conduct we still find time to come together each day and talk about DC action figurines.
>>11827227You're a fraud
>>11827200Open forums != your blog. We don't need nightly updates on how this guy doesn't sleep.
>>11827072Does it bother anyone else that this Robin looks more buff than Knightfall Batman? Feels like that Robin was made to go with the 3 Jokers/Year Two buck that's bulkier.
>>11827236How so? I collect DC figures, I interact with the general. What is fraudulent about anything I do here?
>>11827360No what bothers me is he's a Robin Hood themed superhero who doesn't use a bow and arrows or fight specifically for the poor and is sidekick to a Bat themed superhero
>>11827360Yeah, Todd made that Tim way too big. Too tall, too buff, and too old looking. Not sure what he was going for. I much prefer this kind of scaling. Batman should be taller than Robin.
Isn't Tim just 2 inches taller than Damian?
>>11827379Nobody thinks about that. Everyone just assume they have some birds thing going on and are polite enough not to ask questions. Wasn't robin a term like twink or femboy in the 40's anyway?
>>11827379robin isn't robin hood-themed you retard. green arrow is.
>>11827433nta Artist Jerry Robinson actually said he was inspired from N. C. Wyeth's illustrations of Robin Hood stories.
>>11827338I agree, everyone should stop posting after 8pm eastern time. It's bed time not play time.>>11827360If I remember right, that Robin was the first non-Superman DC figure I bought and the Batmans were just supposed to be shelf buddies for him because it was weird having a Robin without a Batman. Then it turned into the whole Batman Hush fiasco where it was delayed for months and months and some dude here was having a meltdown because I was wondering why a company that makes DC toys couldn't get a Batman out the door. Then when he finally arrived his head popped off while I was removing him from the plastic shell. Knightfall Batman is fine, I have enough Batmans, he's just a prop for the other more interesting figures to react to.
>>11827438Hey, is there a light behind that picture? Try a blue tissue over it or something, it does look a bit bright. Unless you want it to be dawn I mean.
>>11827443It looks fine, don't you have some figures to a pose in front of a brick wall Adolf?
>>11827436Beat me to it.>>11827433It’s ok to be wrong
>DC Collector wave:>$28 "Infinite Collection" like a Marvel Legends BAF waves (January and April first 2 waves)>$28 "DC Content Infinite Collection" like movie/tv show kinda stuff (Dec first wave)>$40 "Ultimate Edition" like Maximum (February and March first two waves)>$25.99 Premium World's Finest (DC Comic line) but focused on Bats and Supes and no BAF (Dec first wave)
>>11827436and yet literally nothing about him implies any sort of connection to robin hood

>>11827568It's curious. I would investigate further if I actually cared. I like the bird thing better myself. Makes a nice contrast to a bat.

>>11827766Yes, I know they're customs. Coat's still gonna look like shit in 5 years.
>>11827766Nobody cares fag
>>11827766This gen is basically just a place for people to hallucinate about brand wars over DC action figures. It doesn't really matter to them if the figures are real or not, as that is not the point for them. They receive enjoyment out of new material to hallucinate about, like phantom Mattel figure rumors, even if that material is untrue.
>>11827436I can see it
>>11827726i was wondering why the proportions were all squat.customs rarely ever look right because they're mixing already made torsos, legs, arms, and heads, instead of being originally sculpted to fit together.
>>11827709you're going to get that with mattel anyway
>>11827433>>11827568Literally the first page of the comic he's introduced in.
>>11827847Why? Why wouldn't Mattel go with blank bucks?
>>11827853Didn't they even reference it in Frank Miller's All Star Batman and Robin? I thought this was common knowledge among comic readers.

After looking into Mattel’s wrestling figures I think they could easily get away with painted fishnets and they not look terrible.

Target has a sale on toys so I picked up some of the Spinmaster Superman movie toys they're trying to get of. Had to order Guy online and he came in today.
It's just not safe in Gotham anymore....
>>11828021The Lex figures in power armor and the playset with the yeti that breaks apart make me wonder if we'll ever get a director's cut with deleted scenes. It comes with Ultraman and Gary so I wonder if there was a scene where a yeti escaped and Ultraman ripped it apart, that'd tie in with Superman's line about taking the kaiju to a zoo. I also like the idea of stray yeti just roaming around outside the Fortress.
>>11828028Awesome!
I love being around other high caliber nerds, it's like the only time I get to relax and put all my energy into hiding this madness behind a door that refuses to stay shut.
>>11828082Me too.
>>11828015It's on a different date in some countries. We have it in September in Australia, but we still have Mother's Day at the he same time as America. I think it was to avoid having Father's Day in crappy winter weather.
>>11828089How do you keep your figures from falling off your shelves into space?
>>11828128We don't use shelves. We just store our figures in kangaroo pouches.
Holy shit. Day one purchase. Mafex can't stop winning.
>>11828215Cape and skirt confirmed as removable.
>>11828215Is this look from something in particular? Why the white squares on the side of the boots?
>>11828234It's from the Superman For Tomorrow storyline. This and the newly announced Superman 1.5 are technically from that story arc. The new Superman is just Hush Supes, washed out colors and all, with some new accessories. I kinda want the base to go with Black Hush Batman but I think Superman is an easy skip if you already have the Hush version.
>>11825544Still no smiling Supes. Come on. I thought they were gonna that. Also Wonder Woman with a cute side would have been cool.
>>11828249Smiling head comes with Clark.
>>11828215>>11828219Looks pretty good, but, man, those seams in the torso are an eyesore.
>>11827973I unironically started reading Starman because all the shitposting gave me a 'if you cant beat them might as well join them' mentality
Better shot of Wondy with the soft goods removed.
>>11828267Good choice.
>>11828271I can't believe that there are people out there that consider the McFarlane Wonder Woman to be good when options like this exist.
>>11827971Grim when a sale price on DCMV is 18 bucks and its a swap anyway
>>11828286It seems good for the price. How much is that Mafex?
>>11828291Price doesn't matter when you are looking for the best of something. Buy once, cry once.
>>11828271Fuggo
>>11828293"Best" is relative, you elitist asshole. :)
>>11828271Mafex is subtly bad at female headsculpts
>>11828297Not always. And it's certainly better than the McFarlane.
>>11827933Hasbro and mcfarlane showed them they could get away with it
>>11828286it wasn’t an option and as of now still isn’t an option
>>11828300So you're basically saying "best is relative, except when it isn't." Makes a lot of sense there.
>>11828238>Superman For TomorrowFuck. I get why they're doing it. Hush was Jim Lee doing Batman while For Tomorrow was Jim Lee on Superman but while Loeb had Batman fight a bunch of classic villains, Azzarello had Superman hang out with a priest for 12 issues. Wonder Woman is like the most exciting character that shows up.
>>11828338It'll be an option in a few hours when it goes up for pre-order.
>>11828361Why is this not available on Amiami yet?
>>11828361Can’t wait for Matty to mog this overpriced weeb garbage.
>>11828364Well, not really, because it doesn't release until April next year and that's if there's a miracle and there are no delays.
>>11828373What?
>>11828381Did you not fucking hear what I just said?
>>11828386You posted a text based response, so no. I read it.
>>11828388
>>118283612 expensive
>>11828267>shitpostingJack was delayed for like a year at the exact same time as Todd lost the license and the release of new figures throughout the rest of the year was "lol maybe idkkk"I've seen threads where people talk about living the rest of their lives wishing that last figure in the line had been released and all they have is a jpg of a grey prototype of their favorite characterYou get to the Phantom Lady issue yet?
>>11828397Superman's heads are all trash and they keep using that bright pastel yellow on his costume. Hyped for someone to 3d scan the giant eagle base and post the stl though
That mafex wonder woman looks decent, until you take the cape off. >>11828271See what I mean? >>11828267Jack is okay, you should really get into prince gavyn. He is cooler..
>>11828404Yeah that's the main thing I'd get the new one for, so I'm skipping it. I just want the base since I think it'd be cool to recreate those Jim Lee covers with Batman and Superman. I already have the base for Batman
>>11828411That makes no sense. Just wait for someone to scan it and you can print your own for like fifty cents in resin.
>>11828215Mafex hasn't stopped losing since InArt and LPZZ stepped into the ring.I'll wait for one of them to make WW.
>don't buy domestic slop just wait for the Mafex!
>>11828420I didn't really phrase that clearly, sorry. The only reason for me to get the new Mafex would be the base, I already have the Hush version. So I'm skipping this new one exactly for the reason you stated. I'll just 3D print it when someone scans and uploads it. I have my printer so it would be no big deal.
You will buy my figure now right anon? I even smile!
>>11828361Standard price for mafex.......went up?
>>11828501I already have him pre-ordered. I was planning on buying Clark and Bruce anyway when they showed them off back at whatever convention. The fact that they come with DLC parts for the Batman and Superman figures I already own is just bonus. Stoked to finally get a smiling head for Superman.
>>11828508Looking at HLJ, they're the same price as Punisher is right now. I'm curious to see what Amiami puts them up for later tonight. Kinda surprised they haven't been put up yet tbqh.
DKR Superman remains the best Superman figure ever
>>11828215>>11828219>>11828249>>11828271>>11828361LMFAOI’ll wait for Mattel
don't usually collect dc stuff, only really super into Batman and I got the mafex hush, also mainly because everything macfarlane has shat out has been actual trash, but I just had to say, all of this for 13 bucks? thats genuinely insane, how does mattel do it? tempted to grab some if I see them in the wild.
>>11828623Double jointed knees with no ankle stuff is such a weird choice.
>>11828633It’s for vehicles
>>11828517So $125 is a rather standard price then? I'd be more comfortable with $80. What makes them $125? I obviously don't own any mafex and I'm just curious why they are on the higher end of action figure pricing. I know people will pay it but is there any "special" about them? I'm not being an asshole, I'm just curious what people who do own mafex think about their figures.
>>11828652Overpriced. Check Amazon for reasonable prices
>>11827976
>>11828652Nothing. It’s not like they blow Figuarts or Revoltech out of the water or something. They’re standard Japanese action figures.It’s just that, when it comes to DC specifically, they’re better than some other options. But $130 for that Wonder Woman is bonkers, fuck off.
>>11828669
>>11828652We'll see what Amiami puts them up for. Punisher there is $77 before shipping while he's $93 at HLJ like Wonder Woman currently is. BBTS may be pretty standard pricing after shipping though, so it may not really matter.
>>11828652>What makes them $125Shipping costs. BBTS accounts for the cost of shipping into the price. It used to be that with the Yen to USD exchange, importing would still be cheaper, but now with the added tariffs and shit it works out to be about the same.
Reminder ALL toys are imported
The anime model kit of Wonder woman is the only good figure of her because every other one is so fucking ugly
>>11828689Mezco looks good enough. The best Wonder Woman figure currently is power princess.
>>11828652Brand wars. Mafex is the apple of the toy industry
>>11828652>So $125 is a rather standard price then?for poorfag americans yes you need to fund those wars in the middle east after all
>>11828706Mafex are really generic for imports. They're almost like the Marvel Legends of imports. You can find many companies who do it worse and many who do it better.
Guys I’ve run the numbers and any version of Batman that is half measured is shit. So essentially brave and the bold, btas, begins and Batman v Superman are the only good characterizations.
>>11828669Mafex's most soulful and kino line.
>>11828772just a wholesome gluppo shitterino
I just looked it up and Mcfarlane has made over a 1000 dc releases in 6 years while Mafex has 100 in the past 15.
>>11828215>>11828219Are Mafex figures slime proof? Asking for a friend.
>>11828786Nobody gives a shit
>>11828772I maintain a neck swap, trunks swap and if possible a boot swap would look sick on that supes.
>>11828793That's crazy! I wonder what Mafex would do if they had the master license?
>>11828623What are the discs supposed to be? Landmines, bat-frisbees?
>>11828807Landmines which is kind of dark considering these are made in Vietnam.
>>11828804Here
If you had your own toy company and could only license one DC story arc/tv show/movie what would it be? For me it'd be Filmation Aquaman and every figure comes with a sea creature to help Aquaman.
>>11828816The Flash easily.
>>11828819CW?
>>11828830The Waid run
>>11828830Adding to this>>11828837if if I had to do anything live action it’d be shipp flash
>>11828838This actually wouldn’t be a bad idea for a small company. You get one main wave and could have flash repaints. Shit small one wave legacy lines would be amazing for Carter WW and Reeve Superman
>>11828816Batman Hush
>>11828676And she's $77 on Amiami before shipping. That's where I'm getting her. Even with shipping it works out to about the same if not a couple dollars cheaper still than BBTS. Plus I don't have to put down a deposit.
Two bat pods! Two kits, more accurately.Big one in the back is from MS General, it's listed as 1/10 and comes with an anime Catwoman model. Not a very good Catwoman, between you and me. Both the girl and the bike are stylized and amped up, not very authentic but there's a ton of detail in there. Thinking about hitting it with some red and giving it to my Arkham Knight. Every part on it is articulated though not all of them very well.The other pod is the 1/12 model kit from Modoking. Specifically the one that came with their camo tumblr, which right now I have MAFEX Bane driving around. Not very articulated, it can't really turn and it definitely can't do any of the crazy shit like rolling sideways. But one thing it *can* do is disassemble and plug into the tumbler's undercarriage! I haven't done it yet, but it looks pretty neat in the instruction manual.The tumbler is also very good. Feels very substantial, for a model kit.
Guys I’ve been thinking way too hard about Batman and he’s a terrible character that shouldn’t exist. Bruce Wayne should be green lantern instead.
>>11828943But without Batman how would we ever get Nightwing
>>11828945We wouldn’t. I imagine Bruce would be off earth and never meet dick. Perhaps dick would eventually die and become deadman.
>>11828958>>11828958>>11828958
>>11828945>>11828959Or nightwing would be that earths “Batman” independent of having ever met Bruce. >parents murdered>starts training >eventually dawns a suit>na na na na nightwing
>>11828962Dick got the idea from Superman cause he told him Kandor had it's own Batman and Robin named Nightwing and Flamebird.
>>11828816I would buy Filmation Arthur. But I'm probably one of the few people here who bought a few of the Superfriends figuresI'd like to see an entire set of non-barwank animation related toys. I'd even want to see things for the Showcase animation shorts. Like the Quality characters. And that Spectre or Catwoman with the whip. And the DC Nation bumpers.
>>11828076Snyder really should have gone with long ears for the JL cowl.
