>>11836792Are you even fucking trying? God damn.
>>11836807You had like a week to come up with something better.OPs don't matter.Fuck off.
>>11836792Mr Freeze's unpainted head. And yet this figure is coveted as a desirable collectible by many in /toy/
PsaThe core 3 packs are supposed to be $32. Target is charging $10 extra on the Batman, Hal and freeze 3 pack.
>>11836837If it were true that these toys were for kids, wouldnt Target offer it at MSRP so they dont rot on store shelves?
>>11836933So what female characters can we actually expect from the coreline?>GuaranteedWonder WomanBatgirlSupergirl>Highly LikelyRavenStarfire>Eh... Maybe...VixenMary Marvel
>>11836942If core really is for kids I'd be skeptical Raven and Starfire would even make it in
>>11836807It's the same 5 guys every thread. We already know everything.
>>11836949I think they have a chance based off the popularity of Teen Titans Go. But that begs the question, will they make a dedicated TTGo line? Or any other DC cartoon that comes out?
>>11836973Evergreen looks.
>>11836942Weirdly enough, I think part of it could depend on how the KPop Demon Hunters line does.If it does really well, it proves that A) girls play with action figures now, or B) boys will buy girls. Either way it means girl action figures aimed at kids are profitable.
>>11836981Are these out?
>>11837027They start hitting stores this month.
>>11836973Starfire got a toy in the DC x Sonic Crossover and Deathstroke is getting a core. I think it is likely.
>>11836942Cass Cain
>>11836807I'm 100% certain you're the type of loser faggot that complains about people posting their figures while never posting any of yours.Kindly kys, thank you.
No man is allowed to set foot on Themyscira.
Men aren't allowed to set foot on Themyscira.
The Wonder Woman reminds Detective Comics Comics General, "No man is allowed to set foot on Themyscira!"
>>11837094Based
>>11837135Noted, so can men set food on Themyscira?
Can't wait for mcFRAUDlane to die so we can get good quality mattel dc figures
>>11837169Men CANNOT ever set foot on Themyscira.
>>11836971>>11837094
>>11837173Right, so men can ser foot on Themyscira if it's an emergency or they reeeeallly want ta.>>11836942Harley Quinn is guaranteed. Poison Ivy and Cheetah are maybe.
>>11837180Lil balsa wood pallets. Raise them right and they will grow to be great companions. Just avoid the underground pallet fighting scene.
>>11836792So is the Mattel mr freeze pack an online exclusive cuz target said they dont carry it in stores when i asked? I hate how practically everything is becoming an online exclusive>>11836973Teen titans go isnt popular, it was only artificially pushed for years starting with some crack pot cunt who took over cartoon network in the mid 2010s and they were hellbent on forcing people to like that slop so hard that it drove what remained of the viewer base for cartoon network away and drove CN to extinction.
>>11837173then what the hell is wonder woman and zatanna doing there, they trans.
>>11837257TTG has to be at least marginally popular to get two theatrical movies.You can bully a network into doing your bidding, but a theatrical relase means flimflamming multiple divisions who have their jobs riding on your success.
>>11837268Their was a hypothesis some anon came up with on /co/ that the reason for cartoon networks bizarre hard on for teen titans go was in part because of a really bad snowstorm in the beginning of 2016 that forced most people to stay in doors and watch TV all week and coincidentally a TTG marathon was also happening that same week and it got massive ratings-not because it was particualrly a good show or well loved but more because it had a captive audience. The anon speculated that CN brass saw that boost in ratings and rather foolishly attributed it to TTGs nonexsistent popularity rather then the fact that a shit ton of people were snowd in and had nothing else to watch and that this was the main impetious for the TTG spam and CN suddenly overvaluing TTG and pushing it so hard and for so long even at such an expense that it eventually kills the channel along with other contributing factors.As for the TTG movies only one actually got a theatrical release and it didn't do that well and only made money cuz it was dirt cheap to make like the rest of that shitty show.
>>11837257>cuz target said they dont carry it in stores when i askedThat’s just some retarded wagie.
>>11837288Oh, I thought I heard somewhere it was getting a theatrical sequel. My bad.
>>11837316Their was talk of another theatrical sequel but i dont think its gonna pan out. The first TTG movie was 8 years ago now and alot of things DC has said they wanna make into movies end up being shelved. But unfortunately someone very high up in warner brothers still has a bizarre erection for the waffles XD teen titans cartoon and is still hellbent on trying to make it WBs own spongebob even though the incessant spam of TTG on CN is what caused no one to watch their channel anymore and is also in part what ended up getting CN studios closed.
>>11837288snowstorms don't affect an entire nation as big as America so this is kinda silly.
>>11837364It mainly affected the northeast AKA the most densely populated area of america hence the undeserved ratings boostI found the post i mentioned before that talks about this in desuarchive btw
>>11837367I've been stuck for a week due to snow, plows don't come out here, and id go crazy if I had to binge ttg for a week. It's an ok show but being stuck for a week kinda starts to screw with your mood and hearing beast boy talk for a week might just crack my soul.
this week i received Arkham Knight UPF and Red Death InArtboth are masterpieces and im amazed with the quality
With McFarlane losing the license soon, I'm finding it hard to want to keep buying the Multiverse figures. There are a couple Batman figures coming out soon that do look really good, but it just feels like a waste of money knowing they won't scale with anything moving forward. I brought this concern up (as did others) that McFarlane making the figures 7 inch scale was a bad idea because it meant they didn't scale with anything that had come before. I even initially refused to buy any but they won me over with some of the better figures. Just seems like a really short-sighted choice.
>>11837129Why does she look so greasy and oily? Special subtle paint hits I take it?
>>11837288That is a deranged level of Teen Titans Go. But that won't sell figures of it if no one is watching but TVs left on.What TV has become is really horrific to me. I remember when there was a feeling, an atmosphere of care around blocks of programming, where it felt curated. Now it's just huge day length periods of the same thing airing all day. How can people stand that? Who would watch it?
>>11837439McFarlane went 7" because it was a choice scale for higher sculpted detail. It was made when he thought the figures would look like this.Instead they ended up being blank booster gold bucks. Because consumers have no sense of artistry or taste. They just want their favorite characters in Ye Olde Spandex. Then most of them abandon your line anyway when you give them what they ask for and so you drop production to tiny runs and cater to scalpers for what little of them stick around.
>>11834460>need all of that for a job >it’s not real>will be automated in 2 years maxDon't worry, zoomzoomFlipping burgers and taking fries out of the hot oil is still something that can't be automated YETSo you'll still be able to pay your mom for doing your laundry while you live in the basement like a responsible 'adult.'
>>11837460>Then most of them abandon your line anyway when you give them what they ask for and so you drop production to tiny runs and cater to scalpers for what little of them stick around.This is so much BS. The Toddler's cultists are the biggest and most loyal stupid assholes to exist that actually get to consoom besides the followers of a certain orange grifterThey even keep his name on their shit and don't bother to open it and treat it like bitcoin/NFTs
>>11837460>They just want>abandon your line>when you give them>so you dropNo, when shelves are flooded with Jokerized vampire variants of literal whos instead of evergreen versions of the characters people like then retailers stop ordering new product and fill the shelf space with toys that sell, reducing the line to a gold label premium elite ruby platinum collectible case that each store only buys one case of and hides somewhere by the playstation controllers. This leads to less units being sold and less cash for larger waves, making the concept of filling shelves again impossible and so the license is given to someone else who can endlessly print cheap moneymakers kids and collectors want.If Todd had just released a Phantom Lady then McFarlane Toys would be a ten billion dollar company today and probably be in a position to buy WB outright. Sad.
>>11837509Toddler's cultists aren't the people who demanded blank spandex body bucks. Marvel Legends collectors did that.>>11837519There were plenty of figures with classic iconic looks released. Some are still pegwarming at a store near you, like Max Mercury at Walmart.
>>11837537I wish I'd picked up a Max Mercury while he was still on shelves. I could pick one up off ebay, but it wouldn't be the same, I want one from the wall of Sad Maxs I'd look at every time I went grocery shopping.Then I'd keep him mint, watching my DC shelf fill up with dioramas and characters fighting and playing and teaming up and doing cool stuff together but he'd still be trapped in his plastic cage, watching, alone.
>>11837540There's still time. A wall of Sad Maxs sits in Walmart warehouses still, waiting, hoping for anyone to buy him. He can still be yours.
>>1183754763 people rated that fig. 63.
>>11837552And somehow despite the headsculpt, the rating ended up being 4.8. I guess ratings are biased anyway since if you bought the thing you already knew it was shit from the pics and didn't care.
>>11837547Paying more than $10 for that thing is a big ask.Thank you for giving me the experience of seeing a Max for sale and backing away in shame, silently shaking my head in condemnation.
>>11837439him cheaping out on capes with mega shitty kids Mattel-tier fabric capes at the very end pisses me off. I saw the Alan Scott two pack the other night and, shitty as Grundy looks, I probably would’ve bit for a proper wired cape.
>>11837566Yes, but are men allowed to set foot on Themyscira?
>>11837574Is Steve Trevor a man?
>>11837574Men? Allowed to set foot on Themyscira? No. Men are not allowed.
>>11837566I looked it up and I paid $9.52 at some point for mine as an addon to get free shipping. He's actually a pretty cool figure other than the headsculpt. But oh boy is that headsculpt bad. Maybe someone who is good customizing faces could salvage him. For someone who is supposed to be buff and manly that headsculpt is so passive and effeminate.
>>11837579Stop talking to yourself dork
>>11837547I used to have a few pics of ol Max with a clearance sticker in it. I kinda have fond memories of those days, it was like a game of chicken in a way. Will a figure get the yellow sticker? Will someone snatch it up to resell or will you save a few bucks on a figure you aren't too excited to pay $20 bucks for. I'm currently waiting for starman jack and vigilante to hit clearance, I'm not sure what the trigger is but they've been sitting pretty still since the store got their last shipment of multiverse figures. I'm really hoping that Savage Dragon gets clearance too, it looks ok but it's not worth $50 of my wage bucks
>>11837624I'd be interested to see the sculpts Todd or DC decline because they don't meet their standards. They must be really bad.
>>11837624He looks like he's getting his teeth cleaned.
There is zero chance any child is getting these 3 packs. They are nigh unobtainable.
>>11837667They're looks from comics no kid would recognize as they are from the 90-00s.
>>11837622Vigilante has hit clearance to order. Still to high at like $24/$28. I will wait to hope I see him at a Ross. If his hair doesn't come off, the head is pretty useless to me. I do like the jeans but the torso shirt is very clearly this Vig or something old-timey. He's tops $5-10 value in fodder, or Ross priced, like the Pennyworth movie which also had useful accessories and a head sculpt of Irons that you could use, swap or sell. The head alone could pay the $5.95 I paid. The Vig head would sell in a head fodder lot I would be lucky to make $10 on after fees and shipping unless I larded it with good heads I would probably prefer to keep instead, versus the sad junk and crap like side eye Arthur Curry.
>>11837552Blue diapers are so the thing!
>>11837667Kids are going to all die in the heat anyway.
>>11837439I will never get this mindset. I bought the Multiverse figures I liked for what they are, whether as designs I always wanted or from comic runs I enjoyed, not because "they won't scale with anything". Mattel will be fulfilling just that so if that's all you ever really wanted from the start then I don't see any reason why you'd ever dip your toes in McFarlane's stuff besides FOMO or the one/two exceptions of Megafigs or Spawn/Hellboy being able to fit in 6" scale.
I remember the good ol days of McFarlane pulling their platinum scams. It seems to have slowed down a lot.
>>11837714McFarlane Aquaman figures will always remind me of one of the funniest customs I've seen here
>>11837731
>>11837733Ah yes and this one is another. It so encapsulates both the state of this gen and McFarlane Toys
>>11837714Which homelander head is that
>>11837667IT BEGINSyou newfag retards have no idea what you’re in for with this fucking company.
>>11837742The vanilla (resting face?) It's from the NECA. I don't waste import dollars on shitty villain expy>>11837731>>11837733picrel
>>11837762awesome stranger things custom
>>11837757How can it be worse than McFarlane with the last few years of his line?
I bought another Flash because I've been thinking about making this custom Adam Strange. I haven't done permanent damage to either figure yet, of course. Ever notice that a lot of Todd's DC figures have weird scaling issues like how some of the heads seem sculpted for 6 inch but are on 7 inch bodies. Anyway I've heard Gundam markers are a great alternative to paint.
>>11837774>Anyway I've heard Gundam markers are a great alternative to paint.They're just paint in a pen
>>11837774This is a great idea
Supes in in the mail. Was hoping for it to be here by tomorrow but oh well. Mezco parts going to have to wait until next month.
I am retardedly stoked to have these guys on my shelf together. My plan as of right now is to buy mainly core from Mattel. The only exceptions I plan on making is Nightwing, flash and Superman related characters.
>>11837793One looks like a high end collectible, the other looks like...something else.
>>11837793I was going to call you retarded but I can’t think of any other characters that need modern articulation except females like cat woman or batgirl. The flash and Nightwing absolutely NEED to be super articulated but honestly Batman doesn’t need to be. Batman just needs a wired cape. Every other dc character you could get away with having them in core form.
>>11837798Green lantern. Checkmate retards.
Are you guy actually going to mix imports with domestic kids toys?
>>11837801Why not. Life is too short to wait on import companies to make DC figures.
>>11837801No. I got Robin to test the waters of how Mattel was doing lately and because it was cheap. I will be checking out the collector line and if that's good enough for me then I will mix and match those with my existing imports.
>>11836942>Guaranteed Wonder WomanHarley QuinnSupergirlBatgirl>Very LikelyRavenStarfireSomeone from a cartoon or movie they wanna push>MaybeZatannaCheetahJessica CruzVixenPoison Ivy
>>11837812Titans are a lock
>>11837813Which era do you think they would use?
The Freedom Fighters cartoon is on youtube for free. They get everything about Phantom Lady wrong and it mostly focuses on The Ray and his boyfriend, but still, for some reason they want people to see this right now.
>>11837816Forgot link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWsy6LN5jzs
>>11837801Pfft I mix 90s kenner toys with imports
>>11837819BASED AS FUCK!!!
>>11837816>>11837818Faggot ass shit.
>>11837798>Batman doesn’t need to be super articulated gotta be the dumbest fucking post in a thread full of dumb posts
>>11837893This. Batman NEEDS to be able to suck his own dick while perched on a gargoyle.
Blokees is making a Batman with the lips for that.
>>11837992>BlokeesMore like Shitees
>>11837992>BlokeesMore like GODkees
>>11837721Don't get me wrong, I do like the figures, but most of the figures I bought I got because they haven't been or are rarely made by other companies, '89 Batman, Batman Forever figures, Batman & Robin figures, Arkham, Christopher Reeve Superman, the figures look good on the shelf, but I would be nice to have the option to mix them in with other lines both past and future. Just for the hell of it I'd like the option to pose my Reeve Superman with my Hammond Spider-Man without having to cheat the scale, y'know? And sure maybe Mattel will do a Reeve Superman in the future, but there's no guarantee. 6 inch just works as a good evergreen scale that lets you mix and match displays across lines and companies, putting them into 7 inch is just very limiting.
>>11837803Imports have already made Batman many times. No need to use a 12.99 mattel toy with no ankle articulation for Batman. It's able to be excused for obscure characters
>>11837999I'm surprised that the scale difference doesn't even matter in this image and its cheated very well. Looks perfectly serviceable despite mixing scales
>>11838070Thank you. On the shelf this could work, but it would just be nice to have the option to pose them in more vanilla stances like shaking hands or something.
>>11837992>BlokeesMore like Cancerees
Collector wave 1 is supposedly Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, joker and deathstroke. Heroes are silver age.
>>11837999this. I absolutely would have bought every single movie villain cuz the casting choices are insane and the costumes are cool, but they would have looked shitty next to every thing I own. The only NECA figures I kept were Gordon Freeman and pixel color scheme Godzilla.
>>11836847they know adults are going to collect them all too just like the Mattel WWE Basics
>>11836942Power Girl with HUGE tits
this really is something else, inart is doing such an amazing job
>>11838184The pube on the eye is fitting
>>11837816>They get everything about Phantom Lady wrong and it mostly focuses on The Ray and his boyfriend, but still, for some reason they want people to see this right now.Attention Whore ONCE Again Wrong - Film At 11.They made a Vixen cartoon, as well, as part of the Berlanti/CW DC verse. Those freedom fighters are based on that Nazi Earth cross-over. Where Supergirl and Arrow are part of the evil Nazis.Of FUCKING course it's not going to be accurate to ANY of the Freedom Fighter comics.For one thing, they had to stick the characters in their existing shows into those crossovers.This Nazi salmon ladder Oliver And WB isn't now trying to shove it dodn people's throat, fucking christ It's paid for, it advertises their shows on other services, including their own, fuck people still even buy full seasons of those shoes And it advertises and promotes DC comics If the Toddler wasn't a stupid idiot so up his ass like a certain stupid Attention Ho, he would have made animated or live action toys of these and themis cartoon would then even work as promotion for the Toddler's plastic grease delivery system.
>>11837157
>>11838194>Of FUCKING course it's not going to be accurate to ANY of the Freedom Fighter comics.It should be Sandra Knight Phantom Lady or fuck off. Dee Tyler was alright, but Stormy, Jennifer, and all the others are trash. Thanks for proving me right.I assumed it was on youtube for free because it was pride month and The Ray is gay and most of the movie is about coming out, but Phantom Lady was also on the mural of heroes in the Hall of Justice in the Superman movie, Earth X was is the Peacemaker show, and Todd has made a couple of the lesser known Freedom Fighters.Someone somewhere at the top is interested in them. Maybe Mattel will finish the Freedom Fighters team Todd started.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGyumFQJsXY
>>11837439I'm only buying McFarlane's of characters I don't think Mattel will get to any time soon like Jack Knight Starman
>>11837667>There is zero chance any child is getting these 3 packsRight, that's why it's silly to these a kids unless it's meant as derogatory or as marketing from the manufacturer.
>>11838207I missed out on getting a Sting but I did find two Punks. I'm no fan of Punk outside of the silliness from a few years ago but the supreme set is really nice. Wish I knew where my Evil Uno and Shida went, I guess I boxed them up a few years ago but didn't label the box. Still haven't ran across any of the Mattel's yet, the ninja strike figure are all I find.
>>11838207Awesome work!
>>11838274I've only seen them at Target and on Amazon. Amazon had the Bane 3 pack for 5 seconds.
>>11838184If you ever spoke a word against Todd's Dark Batman figures, this is a hypocritical post. You will know in your heart if it is true for you.
>>11838127Their Silver Age Superman will be defeated by McFarlane's. No wired cape.
>>11838331>Mommy, mommy>I need new socks, haz a hole now
>July 4th>250th anniversary of the country that created superheroesShow me you most patriotic team, Detective Comics Comics General.
>>11838274there's a couple new Surfer Sting's that will be out by the end of the year. Ringside is taking preorders for them now
I think god hates us specifically.
>>11838420No, I'm hanging with my actual friends.
>>11838185Huh?
Finished up Catwoman on Friday. Her hands can move so she is technically an action figure.
>>11838650Next up is Phantom Lady, then Power Girl.
>>11838651Do Stardust
Just found classic hawk girl, big hair wondy and poison ivy. I can only get one...curse my pallet poorfag life.
>>11838651For people who buy action figures for the sex appeal I dont get why they don't just go with something like this instead. They look far sexier. Action figures tend to be botched in sex appeal.
>>11838794People who have brains composed entirely of cum aren't exactly going to be the sharpest knives in the drawer anon. Gooners are kind of stupid when it comes to this shit, I don't know why they keep trying to find sexy action figures when they can just buy titty statues and get exactly what they want instead.
>>11838798Titty statues are too pricey. Maybe vf can start taking commissions.
>>11838807This is a true business opportunity for him. Undercut the high end studios with a hobby business catering to people who want sexy comic busts.
I don't expect Mattel to do too many cartoons as part of their collector line, but I always loved DC cartoons more than the comics so I figured I'd put together my non-DCAU DC cartoon wishlist.If ANY of these get made, I'll be ecstatic.
>>11838817Yeah I mean if wants to literally print some easy money he could. I asked about getting a Wesley Dodds cake topper a few months ago but either he didn't see it or didn't think I was serious.
>>11838655Stardust and Fantomah are on my list for a Phantom Lady minis game I'm working on. I posted the first draft of Lady Satan on cults3d for free if anyone wants her.>>11838807>>11838866Sure I do commissions all the time. Mostly miniatures stuff but if a project seems cool enough I'm usually game.
>>11838825You belong on a watch list
>>11838825
>>11838794Yeah, I want my catwoman to look passable as a man too.
>>11836812What the hell happened in your gif?
>>11838893>>11838899>just says it's shit>doesn't elaborate>doesn't voice their own opinions or desires (afraid of judgement from people they will never meet)I hope some day you become brave enough to say something true about yourselves, Anon.
>>11838748I was gonna wait for the preorder dance but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I just paid another Chinese smuggler for a McFarlane...>>11838825It's really weird how there's no My Adventures With Superman figures. There are some Superman sculpts you can print, but without Lois who cares?
>>11838951From what I heard, Spinmasters called foul on McFarlene making a Cyborg figure, saying it infringed on their mass market license. McFarlene just steered clear of cartoons almost entirely after that.Mattel will have the master license, so they could possibly for for it. That model looks great btw, but yeah, you gotta have Lois at a minimum to go with Clark.
>>11838936It's just the seething mha fan, angry that baka gaijin Todd made cheap figures of his hero. He's spent 6 years of his life shitting up this general and isn't going to stop just because Todd's gone.
>>11838825>>11838951is there a reason /co/ fags are this delusional thinking their cartoons will ever get toys when its proven how dead the industry is and lost to anime?
>>11838951>Pretending to overpay for a McFigure just because he knows it'll get him (You)s. Sad. These figures are literally out in store. Who do you expect to believe this?
>>11838994I'd post a screenshot of my ebay purchases but you goblins would probably message the seller and tell them to cancel the order or something.It's shipping from Wuhan, same as Zatanna and Starman Jack. >>11838953That's odd since both McFarlane and Spinmaster were making retro Batman movie figures of the same characters at the same time, same with Beast Kingdom just doing whatever they want. I think WB just sluts it up and wants money and nobody involved gives a fuck about micromanaging who gets to make the Collector's Edition Platinum Batman and the Rocket Launching Electric Rainbow Batman toys.McFarlane seems to copy what other companies like Hot Toys are doing then rushes out super cheap versions at a reasonable price for the wider market. Spinmaster knows they're more kid friendly so they stick to lines that are on-brand, at least until their remastered Total Justice line comes out.
>>11839015The lying just to get attention is so pathetic. Just buy your toys dude. Holy shit.
>>11838968>cartoons are dead and irrelevant>therefore we must make cartoons off of something much more relevant, American comic books
>>11839038anime won, cartoons lost
>>11839018Spinmaster's Total Justice reboot is going to change the entire toy experience according to my insider. They've been working on it for a few years now and keeping it more top secret than black budget spy planes so it has to be so next level everyone involved thinks they're working on recovered alien toys.
>>11839048Who are you talking to?
>>11839048>no bones about it, once thosoe bad asses over at good ol' spin master kick around and find out, it's gonna be one hell of a good time all around thats making me feel like a rock and roll star legend up on stage
>>11838951Supercuck
>>11838825Bumblebee has two dolls that I know of and Saturn Girl just had a solid figure made for Multiverse.
>>11839137DCSHG definitely makes me wish I was a doll collector instead. I love pretty much every character in that show. But I'm a figure man, I am I am, born and bred in America's heartland. I like my girls cute and my hair plastic and solid.But thanks for letting me know, Anon!
>>11839159>no bones, Im a hunkin chunkin bonified badassyou buy children's toys
>>11839162Oh no, I'm not a badass. I just like action figures.Nothing against doll collectors. I'm friends with doll collectors. I'm under no delusion that the dolls I collect are better than other dolls because I can't change their clothes or style their hair.I just have collected figures most of my life and prefer them, generally.
>>11838825What the fuck is this woke shit, people want this crap? Teen Titans Go is the only good cartoon these days if this is the quality of shit getting shat out
It's not shaking hands but it's spidey and superman
>>11838951Because MAWS is for women and women don't buy action figures.
>>11839292Is that the demonic Smilin Supes coming to attack Spidey?
