for tomorrow preorders are up editionprevious: >>11825544
>>11828965This is such a goofy fucking plot
>>11828977Not really
>>11828977It's history. It's lore. You can't ignore it.
>>11828977screencap it cuz it's gonna be in a comic within like 3 years
>>11829043Jimmy Olsen's twitter handle is Flamebird in My Adventures of Superman. Flamebird and Nightwing are known to all except movie casuals.
>>11829051who
>>11828958CT's Supes is pretty good. I'm gonna give him a matte spray coat eventually but he's still a solid figure. Here's two insanely strong beings taking a photo together.
>>11829069That's a fine brick wall. WAIT! Are those bricks even real??
>>11828958>4 heads this time>Still have to buy Clark to get the smiling headFuck's sake Medicom
>>11829069Hush Superman has always looked awful and this ko is god awful
>>11829069I saw a comparison video between it and the original Mafex. I like the CT heads better even if there's a bunch of stuff that needs touched up.
>>11828963Our hero.
>>11829069make sure to wash the cape so it doesn't stain the fig.
Let’s all chill out!!!
>>11829088I don't even really need a big dopey grin or anything. Just something a bit friendlier.
>>11829109>>11829110These out yet?
>>11829137Just put the McFarlane Superman/Ultraman two pack or DC Classic Superman head on top of it.
>>11829143>buy a $200 dollar toy>replace the head with a mcfartlameIs this really how importers conduct themselves?
God, Superman For Tomorrow was a shit story. A complete waste of Jim Lee on art. I guess it means the figure will look good but fucking christ was Azzarello up his own ass.
>>11829092>>11829097I mean I paid 35 for it so I really can't complain. The heads are actually pretty good, even the smiling head. Dunno if they'd work on the original figure or not though. >>11829084I hobbled it together so it's nothing special, I know. I'd like to throw something together so I could change the backdrops to various different scenery but haven't come up with an idea I like.
>>11829152Can this one panel of statues save this toyline?
>>11829186No!
>>11829152>What does it mean?Couldn't have thought it better myself.
Some changes with the cape.
Yeah, I'll wait for the LPZZ/UPF Hush Superman...
I'll wait for the inevitable Yamaguchi 2.0 Superman with a smiling face (not lock behind as a pre order bonus).
>>11828958>blog-posting, mommy fucking, attention whoring, you farming, pallet patio enjoying OP >still refuses to leave after threatening everyone with the good time of literally doing just that>still sock-pupping and talking to itself
>>11829274Why are people here addicted to Superman smiling?
Knightfall trailerhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6z4QlS1d7YQ&ra=m
>>11829294being a nice and easygoing guy is an essential part of his character. thats like making goku without his hadouken.
>>11829296Cool!
>>11829296Saw this yesterday. Looks dope. I'd want figures for this but Mafex already has me covered.
*flashes past you*
>>11828361Even if I'm paying $40 for shipping, it'll be slightly cheaper than paying BBTS for it. You guys should not be paying $120 for these figures, I've been paying about $30ish to import stuff from Amiami lately so this'll work for me. Are you guys just new to importing?
>>11829361>New to imports I've got a few snail shell and model kits, but those aren't at the price point of mafex. But yr point is to shop around right?
>>11829381Amiami is usually cheaper than other sites for whatever reason. But yes, shop around import sites, take the exchange rate into account. Also don't type like you're a 12 year old.
>>11829361It's worth the bbts price to assure it won't get destroyed by customs. You guys should not be taking that risk with everything going on mentioned in the import thread
>>11829137Yeah, I would have been fine if they just packed in the smiling head from the Clark figure. I think that's good enough to get the point across
>>11829385Sorry mom, I will redouble my efforts at conveying my thoughts through text in a more eloquent and efficient way moving forward . Sincere apologies, I have offended you, and brought shame upon my family. I shall refrain from typing hence forth
>>11829405This is only a big deal for smaller mom and pop companies. Companies like Bandai or Medicom are large enough they should already be filing the necessary paperwork.
>>11829478You little girls get so fucking offended by the littlest things. Ye a fag frfr
>>11829480NTA, and I purchase almost everything through AmiAmi and Zenmarket, but I think some people prefer buying through BBTS in case there are defects and they need to return or replace it. It's expensive and time consuming returning things to Japan and most collectors aren't comfortable enough to fix their own figures.
>>11829294>Why are people here addicted to Superman smiling?Because he's Superman. He's the symbol of hope. He's generally a friendly guy so at the very least it'd be nice to have a more relaxed neutral expression.
>>11829480The store shipping it is the one who has to submit the paperwork though and even if they have it from bandai, medicom, etc it doesn't guarantee they will do it right or customs won't find something wrong with it and tear the box apart
>>11829571It's crazy that this is Snyder's legacy.
>>11829294What a stupid question.
>>11828958BROTHER!
>>11829143ewwww...
>>11829249That's a really hot Bruce!
>>11829294>Supes is a brooding hateful conservicuck like me!No, get out. Supes smiles and gives everyone hope.
>>11829294Yeah, Superman must be grim and edgy... and bald ;)
>>11828958Is Mafex seriously just reusing the 6-year old body again? While charging alot more?
>>11829294
>>11829833Expected of businesses.
Ive seen some comic talk here so don't mind my off topic It's crazy to me how Hunter/Prey does more in its first chapter to establish Doomsday than the entire Death of Superman storyline. I get that Death is creating a force of nature with Doomsday and Hunter/Prey is trying to establish a comic book villain but there is a huge difference between Doomsday running rough shod over a C list JLA and Doomsday handling the entire Planet of Apokolips and whooping the tar out of Darkseid.
>>11829899Maybe when they had no direct competitors. LPZZ and InArt are about to take all their marketshare.
>>11829777
>>11829912I'm still waiting for an updated figure of this.
>>11829921LPZZ and Inart are harder to get at reasonable prices.
>>11829928Well yeah, me too. I hated it but just fell in love with it later. It's just so EXTREME for Superman that I just needed a minute to accept it.A smartwatch is kinda like a motherbox right?
>>11829928I want this and Electric Superman I wish Mafex had gotten Morrison JLA instead of Jim Lee
>>11829955Even compared to Mafex, they're like $30 more expensive. I dunno, they look good and all but I don't expect them to go deep into character selection, at least Mafex has widened their selection a bit with a decent Bat villain lineup, and now we're dipping into Superman stuff. Where's that Doomsday they showed off a while ago?
>>11829957This Doomsday and Superman were my first versions of those characters, and my dad had Hunter/Prey so I read that before the Death and Return arc. Doesn't Hank show up in red armor with long hair? Reading Superman comics as a kid was wild, I kept wondering why he didn't just use his power sword to kill Lex. Turns out Superman's glowing power sword isn't really a regular thing, even though it should be.
>>11830004An Apokolips Hank would be a cool figure.
>>11830030I think Hank is the Superman villain I love hating the most. Lex is fun and devious, characters like Livewire and Parasite are tragic, even heavies like Mongul are fun in their simplicity.Hank is just scum. There are no redeeming qualities about this stupid asshole. He larps as Superman for a while as some fucked up cyborg monster, doing weird stuff like crying in front of Lois and trying to seduce Superboy. Then Superman vaporizes him into a cloud of sparkly dust, but he comes back on Apokolips. He doesn't even need to have a Superman Terminator face anymore because he isn't pretending he's Superman but now Superman has long hair so Hank needs long hair, because the only thing Hank has anymore is wishing he was Superman. What do you even call him now? Cyborg? Just Hank? What a dumb fucking asshole. Nothing he does makes sense, there are no themes or character arcs that really mean anything, he's just some dumb annoying asshole who won't stay dead.I wonder if there are nights where Clark just lays in bed looking through his roof into deep space, checking in on the all the dipshits who pretend they're him like Bizarro and Hank to make sure they aren't up to anything extra fucking dumb.
>>11829955>>11829975>more expensive.Doesn't matter when they are way, WAY better toys.Also, they are like $80-100, from Chinese stores, not a drastic difference. As a Leaf, it's actually cheaper, since Chinese stores ship much cheaper to Canada than Japanese stores do.
>>11830050Complex villains are well and good but too much power too much complexity and they become nearly unusable. Any time Darkseid shows up now it has to be an event. Mongul and Henshasw can show up just to be a dick. They can have whatever stupid plan they want and have end in a big dumb fight. This gives them way more flexibility. And sometimes pettiness is endearing. Guys like Black Manta or Reverse Flash just feel good to see whupped.
All this talk of Superman but what’s the opinion on Wonder Woman? I’ve wanted a comic style for a while and wasn’t convinced on the revoltech so might pick this one up>>11829294Because we are starved of it. The latest figure not only has no smiling face, but has four angry faces. >>11829088They do that to ensure you double dip
Core Joker and Flash back in stock on Amazon.
>>11830077I wouldn't say they're WAY better toys. You are giving the chinks too much credit here. Articulation looks to be about the same, range of movement looks to be about the same, accessory count is similar. I dunno, I don't know if they are THAT much better like you claim.
>>11830143I really like it, until the cape comes off. The cape just hides the shoulder articulation and makes the figure more pleasant to look at.
>>11830085Oh yeah lol, what a jerk.Idk why but the destruction of Coast City really struck a nerve with me. Really hit me hard, like an actual tragedy from the real world.
>>11830143>All this talk of Superman but what’s the opinion on Wonder Woman?No smiling face, breast too small, butt too small, legs not thick (not fat or muscular) enough, waist could be a bit thinner, no lasso and it would have been cool if she has gun fire effects for the bracelet/shield like revoltech.
>>11830288If you just want a titty figure of her there are plenty of titty statues available.
>>11830288>ww>no lassoThat's quite egregious. Did she not use it in that story or something?
>>11830143ugly, no lasso, $130fuck no
>>11830289If I want a statue of western characters then I wouldnt be posting on /toy/ I would be on....nowhere. /co/ doesnt have a buyfag thread and /a/ is /a/.
>>11830288>>11830296>>11830303>no lassoHonestly, even if they included a lasso I'd probably toss it in the bin and never use it. I currently use just some gold cord that I got for like $3 at Michaels for my Wonder Woman. Hell, you could even get some of that gold coated copper wire and have a bendy wire to pose the actual lasso. These solutions are all under $5 and will function and hold up better than some painted plastic lasso they'd include otherwise. Of all the things to complain about, this is the least egregious imo since it's such a cheap and simple solution.
>>11830319For a $130 figure she should have a lasso.
>>11830328I'm not paying that much, I'm paying $77 before shipping.
>>11830258Have you actually seen a review for their latest release? I promise you that if you do, you will see this is WAY better than anything Mafex has done in the last 5 years. Almost seamless sculpting, amazing articulation, and extremely detailed paint (especially compared to basic-bitch mafex paintjobs). Yeah there is one small QC concern with one of the part-swaps, but that's all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzZN-y9t_y8
>>11830346I've seen reviews, and while I do think they're Arkham and movie stuff looks good, I don't think a lot of it will translate as well to something like a comic style Batman. There can't be seamless sculpting with a guy in just a spandex suit, and the paint and articulation is no better than on a Mafex not sure why you think it's so much better on LPZZ, it seems pretty comparable to me.
>>11830350You can make a case for Mafex's "comic-style" figures I guess, but LPZZ is already making in-roads there too, with comic Hush Batman and Superman in production.I used to buy Mafex but they've fallen off as a company just like SHF and even Revo. Mafex might be the worst case of the 3>constant re-use of sculpts that are getting 5-6 years old now>price hikes on said re-used bodies>paint is basic matte costumes with mid-shading and often has sloppy QC>Articulation engineering remains dated as the body-sculpts are re-usedLPZZ is exciting because they are perusing Amazing-Yamaguchi level of articulation without the ugly sculpting concessions, they aren't re-using bodies and they overall put alot of detail into the paint-jobs and accessories. This has been a common theme with new boutique Chinese toy companies(InArt,SexyIce,LPZZ) coming in and btfoing alot of the established Japanese brands who are frankly resting on their laurels.
>>11829777He is smiling.
>>11830366I can't wait for Hush Batman. It feels more like Jim Lee's art than the MAFEX.
>>11830366Yeah comparing this to Mafex, other than head sculpt, it really isn't that much better or worse than the Mafex. Just a tad different. I will admit the head on the LPZZ is much more accurate. But I dunno, there are just things I dislike about the LPZZ's sculpt. Too realistic for what I'm looking for in a comic style Batman I guess.
