That new the Question is a gold label but i haven't seen anyone say where its exclusive to
Todd has completely abandoned dc figures at Walmart.
>>11844184Idk, when I saw the latest waves at Walmart I did not see a Question figure, when I found one a few years ago it was at a Walmart. I honestly can't keep track of where what figure is going to be exclusive to anymore. Is it just a straight re issue or is it a re color variant because I don't think I've seen a picture of it.
>>11844202Its not a reissue, its a different color. Maybe even slightly different accessories. I dont remember that many hands on the last one.
Why is Todd reissuing stuff if he wants to hold onto the scarcity/valuable thing?
>>11844238Todd hasn't been involved in DCMV for years now since Todd is the face of his toy company, he mainly is there to hype up new lines or lines that are doing well, not ones that are on the way out. He has delegated it to a former Mattel employee, a former DC Direct employee and some others.
>>11844244Toddykins has a lot of explaining to do for all the sloppy efforts he's McFarted out.
>>11844192the illusion of McFarlane Toys is gone. Back in the 2000s people went mad wondering how they made such high detail stactions for 10 bucks. But now at $50 these are nothing but overpriced trash, not even as good as many of the old Spawn statues from back then for 5x the price.
>>11844272Yeah it's really sad to see how far they've fallen, but I respect them for being scrappy and doing everything they can to avoid going bankrupt. Better figures than Mattel can ever make! Fact!
Why did McFarley never give us a Faora, how is this allowed
>>11844590There’s hope in fondjoy doing her
>>11844714>1/9
>>11844052Next time (You) make the thread then, and we'll nitpick every single error out of it. :)
>>11844192He needs to die already. We don't need another wax figure looking shit with granny diapers in the stores.
>>11844720>honestly not gonna lie but a lot to get done if those boomers like trump could simply roll over while the good ol boys take over and set things right in a real badass kinda way
>>11844716They’re 7 inch and scale with mcfarlane
Anthony just trashed Mattel's new core offerings for DC as "not collectibles" in his latest review of a different figure pack for Batman & Shadow. Would you say something must be a collectible for you to buy it or will you buy regular toys?
>>11844805No one cares what your boyfriend thinks.
>>11844805I buy tings dat look good, monJah guides me hand
Getting close. Gotta run some errands and do family stuff but might have Phantom Lady finished tonight
>>11844844Also, titansfan on cults3D posted a Maxima figure. Right now Mademoiselle Marie, Sgt. Rock, and a bunch of Nazi villains are on the printer. After I finished them I might make a Maxima

Ross has Batman Beyond batarangs for $10 bucks now if you want one. Also random plastic wrapped boxes of random modern comics nobody wants.
>>11844972I'm a sucker for those cheap grab bags, great bathroom reading at the very least.
>>11844805>new core offerings for DC as "not collectibles"Because they're not, they're literally for kids. Is he retarded?
>>11845012He's seeing a lot of collectors getting excited over them and hyping them and he doesn't think they should care.
>>11845014>he doesn't think they should careSo he is retarded. It doesn't matter if it costs $10 or $300 they're all just toys.
>>11845014The actually collector centered mattel toys aren't coming till next year.

>>11844805>passive aggressively reviewing a $20 kids line just to throw shade at a $13 kids line that people are enjoying
Mattel will be doing a line called super powers in 6.5 inches. I’m not clear on what that looks like compared to core and collector.
>>11845080What's their Phantom Lady and Mademoiselle Marie situation?
>>11845080Does anyone else feel like Mattel doing multiple lines that aren't in that different of a scale will confuse people?
>>11845080So they really are going with the wwe framework of 3 different price points. Core (basic) super powers (elite) collector (ultimate)
>>11845086You’re welcome.
>>11845088I don’t think it’ll be an issue honestly.
>>11844852>FondjoyThat looks like the UPF/LPZZ (man they need a better name).
Dc premiere is the core line wwe basic equivalent Super powers is the mid tier wwe elite equivalent Dc universe is collector wwe ultimate equivalent I’m not an insider that’s just what I’m seeing from multiple leaks
>>11845105
>>11845107
>>11845090They'll need a Baron Blitzkrieg and Iron Major to fight, of course.
>>11845095>>11845106This is what dc needs honestly.
>>11845106they should just have one be the marvel legends equivalent and then put all their resources into that instead of 3x as many batman as the too many batmen they'll already be making
>>11845141Nah I like the different price points. I’m definitely going to be buying all 3
>>11845146because of people like you I'll never get a new Karu-Sil
>>11845148This improves your chances
>>11844805As usual, that dumb mfer remains out of touch.
>>11845105They are kind of the same now
>>11845206Fondjoy will be a good replacement for mcfarlane fags that want to stick with 7 inch and they’ll be better than anything mcfarlane ever produced.
>>11845211>the mcfarlane schizo is a chink worshipperThat explains a lot
>>11844032>attention whoring low-effort op is back with barely-there-effort
>>11844972>>11844981Those aren't actually random, I picked up a few last holiday to gift to the neighbor kids whose parent's I was friendly enough to do a household small gift swap with but not to do anything that was actually personal. They are all first issues, so it's a starter pack to get you interested. The main problem is that it's a starter pack with slightly older books so kids would need to go to an LCS to get issues #2 onward. But there's no LCS in my town anymore, nearest one is next large city, about 9 miles and a freeway away.I told one mom who asked, if any of them were interested, that the library has the trades.
>>11845236pukeshould’ve given them watchmen
>>11845236>slightly olderThese aren't old at all. It's all modern slop.
>>11845211When are you guys going to get it through your thick heads that people buy Mcfarlane because he puts out 300 figures a year. They may not be great or even good most of the time but at least you can buy Ambush Bug and Captain Carrot. I don't have 40 years to wait for Bandai/Medicom/Maxfactory/Chinese startup to come out with Martian Manhunter. What are you fags? Elves?
>>11845231Batman's life is ruff
>>11845080its probably just a tie in to the show in production, not the sp figures
>>11845141i miss when they just had a dedicated batman line, itd make a lot of people shut up about the necessity of batman spam
>>11845472There was also a decent line for that The Batman cartoon for the 2000s, and I still think DC Universe Classics is the best line they had.
>>11845317Not at all. Older implies real age. The oldest comics they give out are MAYBE 10 years ago. That's nothing.
>>11845489the capes from the batman animated line were awesome, i even have the one batman main line that has a giant one just like that line did.im indifferent on UC, the new sculpts are nice most of the time but all the old sculpts (which is like 80% of the line) just look worse than their original counterparts
>>11845472>>11845489Mattel had a whole Batman 6'' line before losing the license at the $10 price point, they were pretty awful compared to the 2003 line which still looks good. They did at least adapt modern rebirth designs which is cool. Their current kid oriented lineup looks like they're trying way harder, honestly look better than their DC Multiverse stuff from before losing the license.
>>11845509You just don't get it, anon.
Preorders shadow dropped today. Proof McFarlane no longer cares about this line.
>>11845531
>>11845531I don't need anything from that wave. Brainiac is alright but I'm still more than happy with the Page Punchers version. This figure is everything I hoped McFarlane's run with DC could have been.My Walmart has some Savage Dragons, and I like characters with green skin so if Brainiac shows up I might grab both of them.
>>11845550This is indeed the best Brainiac McFarlane made. He looks too silly when he's human.
When do you guys think mattel will give us the first Batman and which one will it be?
>>11845531>"shadow dropped">literally announced on mcfarlane social media accounts
>>11845547Really pissed off I missed out on Brainiac, hopefully he goes back in stock like how all Mcfarlane figs seem to be doing nowadays. Might grab Sinestro too.
We live in a society...of shadow preorders.
>>11845642Awful joker but surprisingly good sculpWe truly do live in a society where Todd can actually make good sculpts but refuses to unless it's for a figure nobody wants. Leto joker gets actual effort put into his fig while Poison Ivy and Black Canary are stuck with those strong masculine faces.
>>11845656It's kind of funny, but the Leto Joker is more feminine looking than Poison Ivy
>>11845661To be fair Leto actually has delicate feminine features. I don't know why or how poison ivy ended up looking so masculine when there's countless comics to base her face off.
>>11845642post yfw when Leto and McFarlane are buds and so he oversaw this face sculpt personally and actually gave a fuck
>>11845627They were dropped at 12 EST and McFarlane's twitter did not post about them before that. They only just did now when it's too late given that some of them already sold out.
>>11845669The sculptor had trouble translating 2D Poison Ivy to a 3D figure. Many such cases.
>>11845550I love the green creepy fucker version of this one.
Mattel’s mid tier dc line is $22.99
>>11845707I saw one of him in store and it was a really tough call between the two. Imagine that figure with 2005 era McFarlane Toys paint apps and washes.
>>11845710Mid-tier? I thought there were 2 tiers: Core and collector
>>11845753See>>11845106
>>11845780That is rather confusing branding. Super Powers should be the lowest tier due to calling back to 5 poa 80s figures.Also this likely means its going to be the same shit as McFarlane where there's a "cheap" collector option that will be full of Batmen and Supermen and then some obscenely priced $34.99 tier that has the characters people need to complete teams. If so this line is going to be worse than Marvel Legends, at least their deluxes are usually bigger figures that aren't as desirable like Hulkbuster or Kingpin so that 35-40 tier is usually undesirable.
>>11845516the guy is saying 15 year old comics aren't "slightly older." sounds like you don't get it! the box posted in this thread has a 36 year old issue of lobo in it
This is what classic costume boosters longed for. Well, are you happy at these abominations?
>>11845817You can do better. I just don't feel this one, workshop it and let's see it again.
>>11845817fuck, marry, kill?
Baby I’m going to rock your world.
Been making a few more of these for a custom JSA since someone has been talking about a certain woman and I've been looking into weird z listers. I'll post em all once I feel done.
>>11846005That's pretty rad. If you have a printer you should check out titansfan on cults3d. He's going through every character who's ever showed up in a comic and making stls of them, only like $4 each.
>>11846012No printer sadly but it'd be funny to have steel be with my space marines.
>>11845816That's what I'm saying though. 15 sure is actually slightly older but most of them are from the Rebirth era that're 10 years old. The Lobo issue is just a single actually older comic.
>>11846018What chapter do you play?I'd recommend an elegoo mars 05 ultra. It's as entry level as it gets and it's pretty cheap, about the cost of eight or nine McFarlanes.Before I got back into toys I was buying GW's plastic crack too and now I'm embarrassed by how much I spent on space marines. GW had me paying $70 for ten Black Templars and four of them are the initiate scouts I refuse to use so I was buying double squads, $140, just to make one regular squad of ten men. A bottle of resin costs $16 and can make 100 space marines.The printer entirely changed my life and creative journey, it's like suddenly having complete control of your own ship on the open seas.I am waiting for McFarlane to release a Black Templar figure.
>>11846026>reeee comics from a literal DECADE ago shouldn't be called "slightly older"get a fucking grip dude
>>11846036I think it's dumb to classify shit like this.I'm 33 and frankly everything since like 2012 feels like it's been 6 or 7 years at most.
>>11846039your inability to process the unrelenting march of time doesn't change the fact that something from over a decade ago isn't new, isn't newish, isn't kinda new, but is actually older than all three
>>11846039I’m 33 and everything since 2016 feels at most like 5 years not 10
What is the best Power Girl figure, DC anons?
>>11846039That was just the other day.
>>11846051Currently? The Toddster's is your best bet. Also there's the DCU Classics one and DC Direct made a couple. Idk if any import companies made one.
>>11846051You need to get a life, trying to start this shit again.
>>11846057This one anon?>>11846063What the fuck are you on about, you insane retarded faggot?!
>>11845795Super Powers was fine when they were selling for $9.99 for what you got. THAT's what it should be, it's exactly what SpinMaster did with the Superman '78 5POA wave that retailed for $7.99. Granted those were way smaller and the Super Powers likely need to fit with the Kenner size. Retro and Superfriends were the problem Retro lines, much higher, a tiny bit more articulation, but still looking cheap as fuck, with a few exceptions on the Bat '66 figures. Also, those overpriced plastic 'vehicles' and laughable cardboard 'play sets' were just mostly garbage. THIS >>11845095 looks pretty clear and if what was released stays in the $12.99 area and the far right ("Elite") is $19-$21.99, it would essentially crush what Hasbro is charging for the average Marvel Legends or Classified.>obscenely priced $34.99 tier >the characters people need to complete teamsI don't really following wrestling but it doesn't look like Mattel puts certain characters ONLY in one tier and you can only get it in that tier. With the MOTU releases, it certainly isn't the case. No clue what they charge for the wrestlers, but the Chronicles were only $26.99.To continue using Masterverse as an example, if they are doing THAT quality of work for say that price, or even $29.99, with the accessories those come with, that's fine by me, for the rare things I would get.
Given that the new Mattel Robin seems to be based on Dan Mora's artwork, do you think we'll get a Supergirl (if we get one at all) based on the same art? I really like this outfit for her, it's basically her Crisis on Infinite Earths outfit but without the headband.
>>11846066Yeah. It's okay but a little too tall.
>>11846075No, mattel doesn't really lock wrestling figures behind a paywall, if you are active then you'll likely get a basic and and elite and maybe an ultimate version. It's really only the guys who are retired or dead that don't a basic or elite figure.
>>11846066Go fuck yourself
>>11846005Hell yeah! Johnny Thunder!
>>11846030Salamanders, wife is dark eldar. Took a break once the ultra refresh hit bc of the money sink. Bought some 3d printed marines for a bargain so I was looking into it thank you for the info.
>>11846309Salamanders are pretty dope. Painting the flame effects would be really fun.Here's a free marine:https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/salamander-chonky-shooty-man-thank-you-for-500-followers
>>11845817..yes?but I liked the endless winter Adam better desu, as crummy as that figure was. very Kid Miracleman look
>>11846362Helghast face ass boys. If I had my psp I'd fire up liberation, I've forgotten what that game is like.
Sexo
>>11846362You know Jeremy replacing a squad of space marine scouts would be the only way they ever look cool.
>>11846075Masterverse are not really that good. I have like 7 of them. They don't have butterfly joints. They started cutting back on POA like reducing females to single elbows later on as the line went on. They're worth around the 23 that Mattel charged but no more--same gummy joints as MLs. Better than McFarlane joints but nothing special. If they were 29 I'd be avoiding them like Todd's CEs.
Marvel has their Marvel Rivals and DC gets fortnite. Will any company make these?
>>11846801Neca is currently doing Fortnite.
>>11846834Well, relevant to the IPs they already have the license to. With Mattel having DC, they may be the only ones allowed to do DC Fortnite designs.
>>11846801Have you guys seen the Rivals goon bait? Between the movies, mtg and rivals gooning we don't stand a chance, even our toys stink and are a pain to find and are overpriced for what you get. But I guess da fans have Absolute Batman....yay
>>11846989As a certified professional gooner neither side has nothing current that really stands out
>>11846520Scouts are fucking disgusting. What's that new unit type with the skinny shins, the Reavers? Fuck those, too. Full plate armor or fuck off.
Guys, I think I did a four tire job on some of McFarlane's kin! Dude had the same last name so I mean they gotta be related right? He had a sticker bragging about being the world's best pawpaw so I mean, call me crazy but I think they are related so basically I installed some 20in tires on Todd's truck.
>>11847183Does your boss know you're posting on 4chan during work hours Pedro?
>>11847194Muy malo Esteban, muy malo.
>>11847183You didn't put a ruby platinum sticker on one of them and tell him he had to pay double for the chase platinum Collector's Edition driver side tire?

>>11846801>Will any company make these?>>11846834>Neca>>11846989It's quite possible this Blokees was supposed to be the Fortnite version of the pscyho murder clown? They are also doing a Catwoman - and other than CW being more batwank, there's no real reason for it to be made sooner rather than later. With Marvels, they didn't even do Black Widow or any of the lesser movie females, like Sharon or Peggy, that could have goonbait. But they certainly moved Sue up the production line from Rivals.
Do you self-soothe by buying yourself overpriced mcfarlanes? I just did by buying one of the new ones for $28
>>11847382They put shoes on Ivy. It's shit! SHIT!
>>11847585I just bought Mattel’s bane 3 pack. More stoked to get this than any mcfarlane I ever got and I topped out at 137 before selling/donating/throwing out all of them.
>>11847585You guys really need to stop being so gay about buying action figures. Holy shit.
>>11847616I’ve been digging in my ass for 6hrs straight now hopped up on something I bought from a Korean store for $7. I’m getting a better play experience from this than a $28 mcfarlane. Money isn’t the point it’s the enjoyment for the price. You’re the one that needs to stop being gay.
>>11847631Haha, damn—6 hours of straight commitment to the craft? That’s dedication that puts most hobbies to shame. Sounds like you found one of those “budget king” items that just hits different in terms of pure enjoyment per dollar.Value hunting like that is real. Sometimes the $7 no-name from the import spot (Korea has been cooking on certain gadgets) delivers more fun than the polished $28 name-brand option. It’s not about being cheap; it’s about the experience actually delivering where it counts for you. McFarlane stuff is solid for display and detail, but if the cheaper alternative keeps you locked in longer, that’s a win on the fun metric.
>>11847592but imagine the smell
>>11846066>insane retarded faggotNot your Future New Boyfriend but that asshole has been spamming every board with his discount 'blond' waifu - he's just a permaban away from being able to spend 24/7 in bed with you

If she had red hair like Mera or Maxima then it'd be over the top for me. Speaking of HER, has anyone seen the Absolute sketches or designs? I don't think she will be farting as much in the Absolute Batman.

Nobody posted the new Todd leaks, saying he’s trying to force out as many figures as possible by November, and some of it will be exclusives and some figures might be canceled.
>>11848146>>11848149Leaker has been saying this for months. Apparently Mattel’s collector line is hitting in October.
>>11848157Leaker also claims Todd’s announcing a 7 inch line of Marvel figures, but they’ll be only a few figures at a time like his artist series figures.
>>11848149>[Lanterns]>no Karu-Sil>no Lyssa Drak>no Bleez>no Arisia>no Lairathere goes any chance of me buying anything from Todd, maybe if Star Sapphire doesn't have a tranny face, but I don't see the point in having just one
Imagine if the last two years had been releases like what's on those lists.

>>11844184That is amazing.
>>11848442NTA but really does give one a reason to pause and reflect on things. I like to picture being at a secluded lake in the mountains when I encounter these types of situation. How do you handle being amazed and possibly befuddled by these types of situations? You could say this whole The Question deal is a Tale to Astonish but then you'd probably just be bored and replying to an old post to be an asshole, which might be amazing if you had done that. But knowing you like I do I sincerely think you are in shock right now and not being a bored asshole.
Saw Poison Manny and Wonder Doll at Target today, and all the variants.
LPZZ or Inart for the Dark Knights?
>>11848524are they still putting them in the toy section? Cuz I don't see how there's enough room in the collector cubby hole in many of these stores for all that.
>>11848568Inart
>>11848146>>11848149>>1184815195% of bullshit plastic crap you couldn't pay me to take and display >>11848569Yep, NTA but was at two large Targets today. Regular toy section (now labeled "superhero" so both the DC and Marvel overhead displays are gone). Classifieds and MOTU Chronicles are also in this aisle. Mattel was on the pegs, Todd's crack was on the shelf below because the Turtle/Joe vehicles cluttered all the top shelf ("counter") space at the mall location. Other store had less variety but on that top shelf.
>>11846613I was thinking more their appearance and accessories. The one MOTU Chronicles I purchased came with one stupid sword and one shield, same as the kid's line, and everything is bigger, for $26.99. It looked good enough, but as MOTU collector's elsewhere have pointed out, it had 3 different runs with QC issues. Mine, I'm totally happy with but picked it up in person. I'd be pissed if say a movie figure of whomever the Wonder Woman is cast to be, had eyebrows painted wrong or armor that was cracking or peeling. But the articulation and posing on the Chronicles are fine Someone reported getting MOTU Core kids stuff from the movie line at their Walmart for $2-3, that's what I saw at Macy's Toys R Us today just not that deep discount. But enough that I got the stupid action toys for the effects, different armor and shield/sword.$5.98.
>>1184815190s Flash, Lynda Carter WW, and Reeve Clark Kent are definitely an immediate buy for me. Also keen on Pather Suit Batman and Bane. Assuming all that comes to fruition that is.I do appreciate that Todd has continued going full steam ahead with the DC figures, rather than letting the line fizzle out.
>>11848931The new Scareglow is pretty nice, idk what subline it's from but it feels nicer than Masterverse. If you could get one treat for yourself would you rather it be Kid Flash or Kolchak The NightStalker on DVD?
this is gonna be the first batman figure i get from a movie

>>11849045Would've gotten it if i wasn't broke </3Literally blows the mafex one out of the water
>>11849274It's a convention exclusive? I don't think sdcc starts until next week, and then you've got the collector cons on target and wm so I'm sure we will know more about it soon enough. >>11849283They made a vinyl of panty and stocking?
>>11849274Jon Stewart happened.
>>11849269Idk, shiny Red Hood with guns is pretty cool.
>>11849274During Blackest Night Hal got the White Lantern power after Sinestro got it first and couldn't beat Nekron. Hal used the power to free all the heroes who had died and come back that Nekron enslaved, making them white lanterns too before beating Nekron. The WL powers then left Hal and the heroes, but not before resurrectin about twelve heroes who were charged with stopping Nekron from coming back in the last Black Lantern he possessed (Swamp Thing).
>>11849347You cheeky motherfucker. I meant the WL Hal figure from the OP>>11849337I mean, the alleged leaked picture has the picture with the SDCC exclusive sticker and everything. And it is kind of shitty to have a platinum edition version of a SDCC exclusive.
DO NOT purchase any more mcfarlanes.
>>11849362Depends on what his Mera looks like. My expectations are on the floor.
>>11849238Why does he do this shit? This is him still stuck in that 90s bullshit mentality of scarcity = great popular money making line!
>>11849238You can bet I won't even look at Toddles' Marvel line after what he did with DCMV.
>>11844192Cool.
>>11849405I still love my Diamond Select Thor. They're pretty cheap and scale with McFarlanes
>>11849464They're cheap for the paint they have now but the articulation is very limiting.
>>11849493Yeah but they're cheap and come with a ton of accessories and the paint apps look great. Have fun hunting for a red platinum chase collector's edition Sue with two extra hands.
>>11849497I wouldn't buy McFarlane's Marvel line. I don't know why anyone would go with Todd when he has proven he will make random key figures rare just to torture people. It's best not to buy into his game at all.No one should even consider those after the disaster that his DC line turned into. Plus the fact that he is now helping ebay scalpers make bank by putting out SDCC exclusives like Red Hood or The Question which he knows are more popular than justifying a con exclusive
I'm really excited for the absolute figures but I feel like I should temper my expectations because they're probably going to be impossible to get.
>>11849505You're right but I just don't have it in me to care anymore. Just bought a pack of files for early war German infantry and plan on printing an army for Bolt Action and my Phantom Lady game. A one time purchase and I can make as many bad guys as I want. This whole collectible toys scene is stupid, at this point the tools for making your own toys are widely and cheaply available. Just make the jump already.
a youtube leaker is now speculating the Absolute figures may not reach general retail and may be confined to MTS only if they are not made quick enough to hit in November rather than December. That'd be one hilarious final blunder from McFarlane, wasting all new tooling on something he can only sell for a month. Frankly we'd be better off if he just stopped like most companies do instead of enticing people with stuff that could get canceled or be unobtanium anyway.>>11849524Good, stable articulation with 3D printing still isn't fully there yet afaik
>>11849622I give jay leaks
>>11848568Anyone else have anything to add? I kinda prefer the comic accuracy of LPZZ over Inart's stylized look, but Inart looks to have way better accessories, particularly on Red Death and Dawnbreaker.
>>11849622This is a $5 file. Once you have a solid frame you can just replace the symbol on the chest and use different heads. You can print a cape or you can make your own doll cape.Articulation isn't the issue so much as resin vs pla, the materials you're using to print. Resin has way higher detail but it's brittle, though there are stronger resins starting to show up on the market. PLA is stronger but the layer lines are absolute deal breakers unless you're making terrain or props, though newer PLA printers are allegedly getting better but I've never seen them make anything that wasn't unusable garbage.
>>11849232>>11849238>>11849269>None of these figs are that much of a lossJust out of coincidence, I never ended up with any GL from Todd even though that's a line I collect.I had already planned on trying to dump all my older Mattel DCUC Lanterns, like Always-Yelling-At-Someone Angry-Black-Lantern Hal. So at least Lantern McFarts are not something else for me to dump.But I'll just stick to my DC Direct GL's and I'm likely getting rid of a bunch of those as well. >>11849344I have one of those. The condom headed red hood, with the red guns. And I have a shit ton of guns I can give him instead of the red ones. He also looks great with red katanas and I'm going to use some of my metallic gundam markers and colorize a spare He-Man sword red and try that on him.
>>11849860That figure has a lot going on. I kinda want to get a loose lot of them now just to mess with them.I can't say I've got a favorite Hal but I think Todd has done a fair job of representing the Corp over all. I think it's neat that you can get the entire Alan Scott family.
>>11849497God I love that figure, the amount of swappable parts is amazing. Got the Reed on my desk since the mezco is better for the shelf but even then the 3 new fantastic four were perfect figures those characters had been needing
I just put a bunch of my DCMV in storage. What I have out still are my Superman/Aquaman collections, a main JLA, anything that can fudge the scale, and about a dozen weird favorites.
>>11847294Ivy should always be green
>>11848127Not green enough
>>11849992I agree
>>11850117
>>11850119
>>11850117What scale are these?
>>11850142is darkseid's weird axe hand permanent?
Found all three of these at Walmart.I bought them kinda because I wanted them but mostly so the scalpers near me couldn't get them.The Alex Ross Batman might be my new definitive shelf Batman. The purple cape on Keaton Batman is kinda weird but I like it. Was planning on flipping Two Face, but I don't have a Two Face and Billy Dee Williams is awesome...I'll keep them mint for now and see what happens on ebay.
>>11850232This doesn't balance out the fact that you yourself buy from scalpers thus, encouraging their behavior. Really, you should've just left these for someone who actually wants them. Now they'll be denied because you decided to try and play the hero when no one asked you to. Good job.
>>11850241>>11850249Gonna sell my two extra Poison Ivy figures, too. Would you walk away from a $25 figure you know is going to sell for over $80? Don't hate the player, hate Todd's game.
I want to open Silver Age Superman too but I have enough Supermans. I'm letting him age like a fine wine for a couple decades before I open him.
>>11850254I literally did last week when I called you a fag for spending $99 on Poison Ivy while I casually walk into Target to get Neosporin and just see them waiting on the shelf. You buy from scalpers, you are a scalper, there is literally nothing redeeming about you.
>>11850232Trade you my alex Ross supes for two face. I'm kinda on the fence about 89 Batman, I'd like it but it just doesn't look as good as I hoped it might.
>>11850278Am I supposed to know who this is?
>>11850280it would be funnier if it was an indian guy
>>11850278And I thought my hairline was rough. Thanks for the pick me up brother.
>>11850286based
>>11850286>>11850291Ok. I've come around to you Doodles. You're good people.
>>11850291Ebin
>>11850117Who is buying these? Seriously?
>>11850291Chad shit
>>11850254>>11850232And so the original victim of Todd's Hush Batman scam eventually becomes the victimizer.
>>11850267I might be interested in that trade>>11850291I'd pay extra for that Power Girl
>>11850255>I have enough Supermans>>11850267>Want another Superman?>>11850305>Yeah I want another Superman.
Have a random mcfarlane to be angry about
>>11850378I can smell it from here.
>>11850387What is it? The grease? The plasticizer or something else?
Art traps the suffering of the artist within it. It is the toil the artist had to endure to create the work. When you view it, that energy is observable in each detail. The greater the detail, the greater depth of the artist's suffering to create the work, and thus the more it nourishes the viewer.The same is true for the work a sculptor puts in to sculpting an action figure or a modeler puts into modeling a video game character or the suit designer does so for a movie character. The suffering of these people is portrayed in each exquisite detail.Some only want a sip of the artist's suffering with plain, simple designs and figure sculpts, but others desire to drink deep.
>>11850406Stop talking to yourself.
>>11850121For me, Ross on DC has always been overpraised. These looks like aging boomers in awful cosplay shit.But then again, I'm not an aging boomer who grew up with Bryne shit and I dont' have to wear the thick nostalgia goggles they need to put on just to exist, since they won't get the cataract surgery the doctors recommended in 2013, >>11850119>>11850117Thanks but no thanks!
>>11850286>>11850291Three notes:The name tag would be "J-Rot."He'd be using his DJ persona.From when he goes to the old folk's home in town and spins music for them on Saturday afternoons, from his bin of imaginary Vic Fontaine hits from Star Trek episodes and other Big Band classics. Secondly, Jarrett is not a Spider-Man fan. It's very clear from his Ro Laren fetish that if he's into any Marvel characters at all, it's diamond version Emma. Especially because it would be far easier to modify his already existing Phantom Lady cos-play into his White Queen/Ice Princess persona he'd want to play with.Finally, Jarrett can't wear a crucifix. He'd burn.
>>11850470>Finally, Jarrett can't wear a crucifix.>He'd burn.this was the dead give away.
>>11850470Marvel overall is kinda boring, especially now that Disney runs them. I like Golden Age heroes who punch Nazis and stuff and Marvel is like full on multiverse weird modern nonsense, everything feels like a circular ad for itself with infinite Spoodermans swinging around talking to each other about their feelings or whatever.I might buy more Marvel characters if Legends wasn't such a trash line. I don't care about Sue Storm but she has a really elegant sculpt and for the price and accessories it's a great deal. I picked up the Silver Surfer figure and hate everything about it. He's covered in dust because I posed him once, decided he's the ugliest thing I've ever wasted money on, and haven't touched him since. The og Green Goblin is just a cool fucking toy.But yeah, Marvel stuff is second row behind the Incredibles. Maybe if Todd does a WW2 era Captain America...
>>11850565Thor is my favorite Marvel character, I guess. No drama, no weird complexes or multiverse stuff, he just likes swinging his hammer at frost giants. I like that.
>this goober will call Marvel Legends trash whole spending import prices on McFarlane'sHoly fucking shit. As if you needed anymore evidence this guy is a joke of a human being.
>>11850566I hope we get to see like the secret evil or whatever that event was that made thor have to use a million flying axes and shit and he's got one arm in the slopcu
>>11850406Shitty design.
>>11850565Don't you notice that MLs are easier to pose and more likely to remain standing due to their low weight compared to McFarlanes?
>>11850232>buying toys so other people can't have themIs this really what it's like out there?
>>11850790This is why companies like McFarlane can remain in business. People are so addicted to plastic toys they will pay THIRTY BUCKS for them. They can even justify $35. That could be a good steak dinner at a good steakhouse, far more valuable than a poorly painted piece of plastic that is just going to degrade in the corner for decades once the initial dopamine hit of opening the package is over. This goes for most domestics now.
I don't even know who's real anymore
>>11850291Next op image right here
>>11850799Todd is real, and he is coming for our money if the recent leak lists are true.
Are you guys excited about the new mattel line, or salty that it's a new scale? Also anyone got their (Mattels) new batman already?
>>11850850This week should be busy around here. I don’t know about “excited”, but I’m very curious to see what Mattel thinks collectors want.
>>11850850Given what I've seen of MOTU chronicles, I'll probably skip the Mattel line unless they do a character I really want that hasn't been done before and the figures are cheap (under 25).
>>11850850as someone who hasn't bought DC figures since DCU Classics, it's not a new scale for me
>>11850857DCU Classics by house style really wont mesh well with Mattel's modern collector line either really.
>>11850858I don't have any of those figures anymore so that's fine, but regardless there isn't anything in the mattell line I feel compelled to buy yetIf they do Deadshot and Catman, it'll be a different story
>>11850860Amazing you resisted the urge to buy McFarlane's Deadshot and Catman but I guess you knew the dangers of buying McFarlanes. A lot of people McFarlane releases are just treated like they don't exist.
>>11850856That's what I'm thinking too. Got their new movie skelitor and he's a disappointment. Feels like Mattel is being celebrated as if they revolutionized something with them and their kids like when one is just them catching up to where everyone else was in 2019 and the other is a shitty kids line where you can't even just fiddle with it in your hands without stress marks and scratches from rubbing.
Origins is the only thing of note that mattel has done in the past few years, well origins and wwe superstars which is a great line imo but since it's wm exclusive it's better not mentioning it.
>>11850566>No drama, no weird complexes or multiverse stuffOh sweetie, I'm the most casual of Marvel casuals there is and even I know this is total bullshit about Thor of all people.He's got a stolen half brother, a secret "niece" who rules hell - who kills Thor half a dozen or so times, and that's just his early stories.
>>11850566>no weird complexes or multiverse stuffYou'd be horrified at modern Thor stories. Uncanny Thor has him fighting Apocalypse. You know, X-Men's Apocalypse.
>>11850864I don't like the scale so I never paid attention.
>>11850911>horrifiedYou girls are so fuckin over dramatic lmao.
>>11850918Choose a better word.
>>11850911>>11850879You couldn't pay me to read modern Marvel
>>11850921Disappointed. Annoyed. Surprised. You can't be this stupid.
Anyone have the mattel Bane 3pack? How is it? Apparently The Batman is metallic. Id buy it but it's still sold out on Amazon (is it store exclusive?) and there's only like 2 or 3 (shitty) reviews on Amazon. Anyone have an idea why it's $10 cheaper than the Mr Freeze 3 pack?
>>11850928Marvel was still interesting up until like 2009-2010. Dark Reign is legitamately a very interesting time and what many people consider the last time Marvel felt like Marvel. I recommend it. People like to bag on him, but Bendis can do some good stuff every now and again, Dark Avengers was one of the times he was good. But yeah, while I don't consider the Heroic Age and AvX outright terrible, they weren't as good imo, and everything really started going downhill with Marvel Now imo. Too much synergy for the sake of synergy, although Hickman's Avengers run was pretty cool. Secret Wars 2016 is pretty much my hard cutoff point, while you can still find redeemable stuff prior to that, anything post 2016 is just outright bad imo and might as well be fan fiction.
>>11850378Is this new? I swear I've seen this fig before but it was with the Knightfall buck.
>>11850934I loved Ultimate Spider-Man when I was a kid but the main Spider-Man books have always been unreadable. I have Straczynski's Thor run, but then he abandoned the book and I haven't read them in almost 20 years. Nextwave was really fun.I think Dark Reign was the last big event I followed, didn't it end with something called Siege where Sentry was ripping people in half again?People find out I like superheroes and try to talk about stuff like Jeff the Shark and Deadpool and that stupid Looney Toons shit is the exact opposite of what I want from comics and superheroes.Marvels is really good, that's the only Marvel book I have in hardcover on my shelf. Even then, it isn't really a Marvel book since the heroes are all remote and it's from the perspective of a normal person. I probably wouldn't care about it at all if it wasn't painted by Alex Ross.
>>11850944>the main Spider-Man books have always been unreadable.Up through the 80s were great, what are you even talking about? Sure the 90s and the Clone Saga sucked, but they turned it around in the early 2000s with JMS' run, although editorial fucked that up with One More Day and the main title has never quite recovered since. But yeah, the rest of the stuff before that was great.>I have Straczynski's Thor run, but then he abandoned the book and I haven't read them in almost 20 yearsYeah, that is a great run, too bad Siege had to piss off JMS enough to get him to call it quits. Gillen wasn't a terrible replacement though. >I think Dark Reign was the last big event I followed, didn't it end with something called Siege where Sentry was ripping people in half again?Yes, the big shock of Siege was Sentry ripping Ares in half.
>>11850953Yeah everything before the 90's was solid. I love the Spectacular Spectacular Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon, mostly because it keeps the story simple and grounded but still builds all the subplots and character arcs with awesome payoffs. I like when he's fighting bank robbers and muggers more than when portals are opening to other dimensions and he's meeting infinite Spider-people who need to team up to save the Spider-verse. The new Spider Noir series is great.I remember all the Spider-Man comics I tried reading as a kid had this weird blue homeless man crying behind dumpsters because he wasn't a pretty clone or something. Meanwhile Superman was finishing the Death and Return arc and Clark, a character I recognize and want to read about, was coming back to kick Hank's ass.
>>11850794I don't think you've been to a good steakhouse lately if you think you're getting out of there for $35.
>>11850936Its a figure from like 2022
>>11850936No, it's old. Idk how old but it's not new unless they are doing a re release.>>11850934Why doesn't anyone seem to enjoy Secret Invasion, that shit was cash. Dark Reign was a really engaging story, I didn't throw in the towel on marvel until secret wars again the sequel. Same thing with DC, if you keep rebooting the continuity then I'm out. A reboot just means you can't think your way out the corner youve painted yourself into. How daredevil avoids this mess is impressive but they usually stick to the same song and dance with him.
Since we talking comics now, what Absolut series should I get into (other than Batman).
>>11850984First 6 issues of Absolute Martian Manhunter were great, if for a rather niche audienceAbsolute Green Arrow is turning into a somewhat interesting mystery book in only the first 3 issues, but hard to say where it will go
>>11850232god youre such a faggot
>>11850933Amazon exclusive. Setup an auto purchase for the retail amount. Mine comes in between the 24th ant 27th
>>11850933>Anyone have an idea why it's $10 cheaper than the Mr Freeze 3 pack?Because target chose to add an extra $10 to the retail price of a 3 pack
>>11849287
>>11851110
>>11846185Cheers anon.>>11846262Eat shit, you fucking clown faggot.>>11847667Lotta fucking freaks in this thread. Just wanted to know what the best Peeg is. Holy shit, you cunts need to be medicated.
>>11851217calm down, spaz
>>11851042Thanks, set it up then got a notification that it's been ordered and arrives Thursday. Hoping the Batman isn't too shiny or looks too out of place so I don't have to buy another Batman fig.At least until the collector's line.
>>11851289>Hoping the Batman isn't too shiny or looks too out of place
>>11850934Marvel is unreadable post 2004. Because Bendis made everything tryhard & gay.
Marvel will always be the 90s animated shows, original spiderman movie, the Incredible Hulk, iron man 1, Thor 1Likewise dc will always be the timmverse, brave and the bold animated series, the Batman animated series, cgi green lantern series, most of smallville, Batman begins and the original live action flash show.
>>11851312Wow! Bane really IS a big guy.
>>11851317Man I keep looking at these things and realized I’d be set if the collector line were these with butterflies, reverse ab crunch and ankles. I don’t even need double elbows.
>>118513284u
>>11851329I’d need sculpted emblems
>>11851329you should buy this line now, to show mattel there is a huge market for their dc lines.
>>11850988>if for a rather niche audienceI've heard that a few times not but no one elaborates what that niche is. The covers look cool but I've never read anything martian so I'm worried that it's just Moonknight but in color without then violence
>>11851337It’s gay
>>11851134Nice
>>11851315It really isn't. The first few arcs of New Avengers aren't bad, it only really starts falling apart when Civil War interfered with everything he had planned and he just never quite recovered. Team books are certainly his weak spot, and re-reading some of his stuff now, is kinda of annoying, but when he hits he hits. Daredevil, USM, Dark Avengers. I still stand by the notion that he can be a good writer, but only when he has someone to reel him in, giving him free reign to do what he wants lead to Heroic Age Avengers quality books.
>>11851456He was pretty good on daredevil..I've still got my marvel knights dd collection somewhere.
>>11851312where the white women at
>>11851315Maximum Carnage was okay.
>>11851312>>11851495Six shitty batwank related toys and none of them are Catwoman. Only two non-batwankers but at least they look good.
>>11851558it's dumb that they'd do nightwing AND robin before wonder womanif one of them had been batgirl instead, even that would be better
>>11851561>>11851558>Toyline made for boys>Collectors are still bitching about no female figuresYou chose to buy a boys superhero line that isn't for adult collectors, so you have to deal with no female figures. Wait for the actual collectors line if you want female figures.
>>11851567>You chose to buyI didn't buy shit, bitch>you have to deal with no female figuresRight, because they're obviously gonna spam Batman villains and Bat-family characters and as we all know, there's absolutely no bitches in either category>Wait for the collectors line!Is not a good marketing strategy
>>11851572A boys line that isn't for collectors is obviously going to lack female figures. >Is not a good marketing strategyMattel doesn't seem to care. That's just the facts, Mattel cared more about putting out these kids toys fast than collector figures.
>>11851574>Mattel cared more about putting out these kids toys fast than collector figures.Isn't that why they got the license? Todd's figures pegwarmed so hard Walmart stopped ordering them in bulk, shrinking the brand's presence on shelves. Superheres need to hook kids when they're young and Todd was more interested in making cool figures adults would want than making sure shelves were full of evergreen Batmans, Supermans, and Green Lanterns.Plus DC is in the middle of rebooting things again so they need a strong brand presence in stores.Todd's line was for lifetime collectors who wanted cool, definitive versions of characters they already had. Mattel just wants to have as many Batmans on a shelf as Hasbro has Darth Vaders.
>>11851591>>11851591>>11851591
>>11844216Nice.
