>>11864368Where the fuck is my new super powers joker todd? You shouldve made one in the first few waves of the line by now you lazy hack, so im deserved him in one of the EE waves especially when you shouldve gotten to him back in 2022
>>11864368I can't understand their choices for what goes to retail toy aisles in the standard box. Pink shirt brainiac they think will sell at retail? Sentinel? Crazy. Yet they made some far more desirable figures CEs
got Inart Kekmanim amazed
>>11864613Ew too busy. What's with zoomers liking these overly detailed costumes? Nightwing's traditional black and blue costume is best. Simple black body suit with his blue logo that runs down his arms. Same with black suit Spidey. You just can't beat the classics.
>>11864603Bro they've sold through twice here, just a got third batch today. Idk who this fag is but I want to meet him. Any of you know when apple fest happens?
>>11864613They really need to let this guy go.
>>11864619>Honestly bubby? Straight up, hands down, nothing beats the genuine classics and a full naked buck skin suit that shows how defined the male body is
Beast Boy is a Drip exclusive.
>>11864695Nobody fucking cares
>>11864647You get it bub.
>>11864697>>11864709You don’t have to spam.
How do you guys store your comics?
>>11864731Floppies are bagged and boarded in long boxes in my garage. Trades I keep on bookshelves. And then I have a few pretty high value books that I keep in a safe.
>>11864729Put your trip back on
>>11864731In a box. Most are bagged and boarded but I haven't hit a honey pot dollar bin in a few years so now it's more tpbs.
>>11864619Batman who keks was never a low detail design.
>>11864731Most of them are in boxes in my parents' attic but I keep a couple stacks of important issues in my painting desk. Some of them I use in displays, like the S shield Reign of the Supermen issues are lined up in a row behind my Reign of the Supermen figures.
>>11864695Todd is finding new and interesting ways to shit on his fans. I am passing on all new l8nes he puts out
will we get a 1:18 dc line?
>>11864792No, why would we? Too expensive.
>>11864783Bolland can do no wrong when it comes to covers. I think I've got an old judge dredd compendium where he did a full story. Or maybe it was just a 2000 ad story.
>>11864834cheaper than mcfarlane BUT with better articulation and paint.
>>11864872no one gives a FUCK about spin master
>>11864872Trash ass shampoo bottles.
>>118648701:18 is just as costly to produce as 1:12, but people expect to pay less because of the size, which is why Hasbro stopped making 1:18 G.I. Joe and licensed it out.
>>11864894This can't be true as the amount of paint apps and plastic is less. The tool size is where there is not a big difference
Holy shit The other day I decided to just pull the trigger and buy the mattel bane 3pack, robin, flash and joker all for less than 2 McfarlanesAnd I just got them delivered and holy shit, they're unironically phenomenal figures. For $12 each, I can look past the less than ideal articulation because the sculpts are very nice and for the most part they scale perfectly with my marvel legends. Like if this is the quality we're getting with the $12 kids line, I can't begin to imagine how good the collector's line will be.
>>11864613Remember when McFarlane was known for this kind of sculpted detail? What happened?
>>11864914>they scale perfectly with my marvel legends.
>>11864946Ball hips are making a comeback. Thanks, Toybiz!
>>11864946I don't think this is achievable natty.
>>11864946The black outline around the S needs to stop. I'm not even joking.
>>11864867He's pretty good. I dunno if he's best suited for a war comic, but I'll take him over someone like Liefeld any day.That said, I'm really curious what Liefeld's World War 2 would look like.
Beautiful.
How soon until Mattel does Absolute characters? Seems like hot shit, they should jump on that
>>11864946>Toy Biz Superman
>>11865031I could see it happening in the first yearThe absolute comics are insanely popular, and it usually takes a year for fig companies to capitalize on popular runs. That's why everyone is finally making absolute batman. If mattel was smart they would have planned it as so as they got the license
There are 7 DC generals in the catalog
>>11865122Yeah, they should ban OP
>>11865130Can we make some sort of formal petition to permaban valley forge? Even /tv/ hates the faggot for spamming.
>>11865130>>11865142If all 5 of us can report him, maybe the jannies will do something.
>>11864914I heard Bane is fairly light due to having hollow parts. Do you know which ones? Is it just the torso that's hollow or is it also the legs?
>>11864695What the fuck is Drip and what do they mean by $20 a pull? Is it gacha and you don't know which one you'll get?
>>11865155Every time I see his trip and every op that’s obviously him
>>11865207That's exactly what it is. I imagine a lot of people will be pulling tons of this guy.
>>11865142He's been using a trip on /tv/ since at least 2016 when he started the discord wars.
>>11865212I like Max. They need to make a Jesse Quick already.
>>11864368It's seriously deranged that after all these years this is still the best live action Freeze design and one of the top contenders across the whole franchise.
>>11865322>>11864368Wait this isn't even the Mr Freeze they're re-releasing
>>11865122I seldom come here. What's wrong with this genny?
>>11865207>>11864695gachas, gold rares, platinum rares, red platinum rares, digital collections, movie editions, deluxe editions, F2Poor ross editionstodd is essentially running a live service game in real life
>>11865363>gennyWe get faggots coming in here calling them "genny"
>>11865364And that is exactly why his time with the license is ending. Figures are meant to be enjoyed, not won by luck in a game of chance but be impossible to get otherwise
Before zoomers came up with a term for it the primary function of McFarlane toys seemed to be sitting on a shelf aura farming.
>>11865485They ain't much count for playin.
>>11865495Wanna try repeating that in English?
>>11865502Oh you uncs better be backin on God before rizzlin yourself dig?
>>11865503I don't speak retardese, you'll need to try again.
>>11864631it was yesterday, you big dum dum
>>11864731Digitally, like a true chadBacked up to the cloud and an external driveI even paid for some of these
>>11865580Good luck being blind when you're 50
>>11864731
Around 100 bucks
>>11865644
>>11865646
>>11865648wait that's what absolute bruce looks like????
>>11865576Shit man, I been here 5 years and I never been. Maybe I'll make it out the state fair this year,they got that carriage horse racing deal, harness racing I think. >>11865597It's not that bad honestly. It's not the same experience but some times it's nice to zoom in on a panel and it's obviously cheaper plus you can read stuff that people won't republish.>>11865648I still think this looks silly, I can't get over the lil head. I've got to get a few absolute books so i can understand why his head is so small.
>>11865675Batman's scale changes several times throughout the book as he experiments with venom. It's pretty unhinged but the best new comic there has been in aaaaaaages. >>11865646ordered mine on gundammit, looks fuckin stellar
>>11865363it’s swarming with faggots like you
>>11865659Hard to tell what he looks like in the absolute batman comic since the art is all chicken scratch
>>11865659not even the worst drawing
>>11865811
>>11864737>boardedwhat does that mean?>bookshelvesDo you have them standing like books or laying flat on top of each other?
>>11864914man, I'm so dumb. I was patiently waiting for it to drop on amazon but now I found out it was a mattel exclusive. Obviously sold out already. I will take that as a sign to wait for the collectors line. However why would they gatekeep Bane?
>>11865027SOVLFELD
>>11865692>the best new comic there has been in aaaaaaages.>Absolute CringeThat's sad.
>>11865864>what does that mean?have you never seen a comic book before? Why are you even in this fucking thread.
>>11865864Google bagged and boarded comics and you'll figure it out.
>>11865580True chads have both. I have a couple hundred GB worth of comics, also backed up to a backup drive that's stored in my safe. But, at the same time, I also have all my favorites collected.
>only two people in this general read comicsScalper general, basically.
>>11865960scalpers have to read comics to know what storylines and versions of characters are popular to know which ones to buy, which ones to hold and which ones to fold. It's us "LOOKS COOL" figure guys who don't read the source material. Often its the figure that gets me to read the source material. Happened with the White Night story arcs, Last Knight on Earth and Knightfall
>Marvel General has people recreating and quoting comic panels and scenes from the cartoons. >DC General doesn't even know what bagged and boarded means. This thread is an embarrassment
>>11866030It's not hard to google what the popular stories are.
>>11865659I'm shocked too, I assumed he was some beefy jim lee fucker under that mask.
>>11866092>bagged and boardedIs that what Todd does to his balls?
Reading is FUNdamental
>>11866142This is what authentic thread culture looks like.
>>11865648He actually looks better here since they basically gave him Pattinson's face and a brooding expression.>>11865659Kek. He actually looks worse in the comics. He's a really young Batman with a babyface and a jacked body. >>11865811 >>11865813
>>11865889Yep. Scott Snyder's latest work which is basically an Elseworlds Batman like Murphy's White Knight run. It's become DC's latest cashcow from Snyder not unlike Dark Knights Metal, so expect Absolute Batman to get milked by companies just like Batman Who Laughs.
>>11866142Why haven't you set Ivy and Zatanna free yet?
>>11865644LPZZ wins this one. Top-tier engineering and the most comic accurate by far. Probably better scaling too especially compared to Inart's fluctuating scale not to mention their penchant for stylization.
>>11865868It's an Amazon exclusive. The set has been going up and selling out on various Amazon branches.
Ugh Sandman is in the cancer ass JJ Batman cartoon on AmazonThey replaced the fedora and gas mask with a leather plague doctor gimp maskThank god nobody makes toys for modern DC cartoons so Todd can focus on making a Phantom Lady instead of getting distracted by flavor of the month Batman reimaginings
>>11866092That's what happens when you don't have a reliable main line and your whole thing gets rebooted every 6 years
>>11865365>>11865701Well, then i guess you faggots deserve the misery. Stay mad. :)
>>11866092Because you faggots don't know how to communicate like a proper adult.
This is what Schumacher stole from us.
>>11866208That gun wasn't invented until 1997.
>>11866208Lil bro, you should be embarrassed being in a thread about comic book toys and not what bagged and boarded means. Seriously. It's pathetic.
>>11866245Where's Robin Williams as The Riddler?
>>11866269He's hanging around.
>>11866260no one reads comics that shit is woke
>>11866269Howard Stern Scarecrow would actually be pretty cool. He'd demand $20 mil for his likeness
>>11866260I'm not the guy whom you cried about nor do i care about your argument about comic book terms. I just think you faggots are miserable losers after looking at your posts. Seriously, it's pathetic.
>>11866292Sure kiddo. I totally believe you. Don't hurt yourself on the way out.
Are you still tempted by any current todd releases?
You guys are gonna love Mattel's proclivity to put up some preorders in the middle of the night so only botters can get them. Just happened with some Origins figures
>>11866347Kid flash and a wonder woman would be cool, but it's nothing I'm stressing over. I'd try a 40k figure if I saw one marked down.
>>11864368Im gonna be honest this looks better than that original release for the build a figure.The original looked unfinished and literary looks like a cheap 5 dollar action figure from McDonald's.
>>11864647This but unironically
>>11866375The 40k stuff was nice at 20 but what they're asking now is definitely outrageous.
>>11866376Of course. Most of Todd's figures would look much better fully painted, but they're getting sales at $35 for mostly unpainted figures so there's little incentive for them to make many look as good as this Freeze
>>11866406Someone paid out their contract with GW, I doubt it was Todd but maybe it was. $5 million to get out of a deal early so it was toys, games or a movie. That's the thing with McFarlane toys, the value is not there unless youre a die hard and that's the only option you have for a figure.
>>11866408Todd doesn't care about black peop- er, toy collectors
>>11866350No it didn’t
>>11866436Preternia proves it did
>>11866466If you’re referring to the 200x figures those always sell out but come back in stock before ship date and also always go on discount after release. Over dramatic faggot.
>>11866269He wasn’t black, so they didn’t care to put him in their BLM comicbook.
>>11866539>BLMHuh?
>>11866543have you read it?robin is blacktwo face is black and is also dating barbarathe is an entire new district of gotham where it's mostly blacks so they can be victims and such
>>11866554>robin is blackbecause a black guy was gonna play robin>two face is black because a black guy played harvey dent>the is an entire new district of gotham where it's mostly blacks have you ever seen a city in your life? fucking retard
>>11866580how can you be racist and a dc fan? You make Superman cry...
>>11864368Why'd they make him look so chill?
>>11866590We talk about Superman, not some middle aged white women.
>>11866600Faggot
>>11866602Now that weould make Superman mad.
>>11866176It really does sometimes feel like this is the crowd we're hanging with in DC gen
>>11866535Well DC figures don't have to do that because this isn't MOTU, the scalpers are the STRONGEST with DC.
>>11866589Is Mr Freeze going to escape containment and go on an ice skating rampage at the local pond?
>>11866618these are too bulky to me
>>11866618Is the right one the mafex dark knight returns one that comes with red head robin?
>>11866636What do you think?
>>11866176No particular reason, sometimes I just hold off on opening a figure and after a few months I just decide to keep it sealed or maybe open it and put it back. That was my gi Joe shelf, it was chock full of classics and classified and the rest of my 3 3/4in figures. Got tired of seeing an empty shelf so I pulled out some books I haven't read in years. I really think you guys should check out Ollie's if you can, pretty good place to find cheap tpbs and art books.
>>11866636No, the far left one in pic related does. Both the deluxe/2-pack editions are the weakest of the bunch. I think the one with the horse might be the worst.
>>11866636You mean Carrie? Ariel Winters did the voice acting for her in the animated adaptation of The Dark Returns. Has the Knightfall cartoon come out yet?
>>11866643>2-pack editions are the weakest of the bunch.what makes him so bad? I wanted to buy him this month, but I didn't do any research yet.
>>11866654I am unironically schizophrenic so the yellow feels like it's sticking out too much. I prefer the dirtier look of the other 2 that's all. By worst of the bunch I didn't actually mean they're bad just my least favorite.
>>11865960Don't be a useless imbecile like Jared. 5 different people answered, myself included. J-Rot's not technically 'people' but apparently some kind soul gave him the impression that he was successfully reading so I guess you can count him as .25 or .33 of a person replying. Besides, many of these gens and even the people buying this plastic crack are the very definition of casuals.Like those currently buying up MCU slop or Tomb Raider slop.It's why this gen is full of idiots who think DC starts and stops with batwank. Yes, that Max Mercury figure is an ugly POS toy but he's a part of the deep lore and Todd has pushed out equally ugly toys that did sell just because casuals buy familiar garbage. All those overpriced Superboy or Reverse Flash listings are proof of that.
>>118666434 of the same batman all in one place. how can this be?
Do you remember Parallax, the man who was fear?
>>11866121>>1186565920years old btw
>>11866714Is that Kyle or Hal?
>>11866722Hal of course
>>11866724his hair looks too dark
>>11866586>>11866589That's just not Arnie
>>11866722>Kyle or Hal?I keep seeing this brought up by GL casualfags like some sort of gotcha, but that Parallax figure has zero resemblance to how Kyle was usually drawn in the comics, especially how the figure looks genuinely too old to be Kyle while blatantly missing any of his design traits including the Jim Lee suit. The funny part is when McFarlane actually made a couple of Kyle figures they were all dead-on to his portrait, classic crab mask and all, making this presumption even dumber.
https://youtu.be/gVolqamEQy4
>>11866735I don't remember what kyle looked like as parallax close enough>looks too old to be Kyleyesbut also the hair appears black in that picture
>>11866714Yeah, that's the first one mom brought home for me.
>>11866642That's fair. I'm saving opening Hellboy just because the packaging looks so cool. Saving Alex Ross Batman for when I can get my hands on a Superman.>>11866245This is the coolest figure of the year. I have a comics only for villains rule but this guy is half comic, half movie, and I found two of him and sold the extra for $80 so I was able to cover the cost of Ivy. Between the Chinese smuggler I paid for Ivy, my own journey into the heart of darkness through scalping, or the desperate rando who paid top billing for a Lando doll, I'm not sure who was in the right and who was in the wrong. Maybe we're all just out here in the jungle, and all that really matters is how happy you are with your collection.
>>11866714Ben Stiller?
>>11866742I'm still mad they made the TAS Twoface the platinum and the ancient green/purple Twoface the main release in the mcfarlane digital release.
>>11866750Yeah I would have picked up that version if it weren't ridiculously overpriced. My Target had the comic version but Bat villains aren't on my checklist and that design is fucking disgusting and distracting. It works on a comic page but as a physical object on a shelf it's awful.
>>11866737Kyle looked pretty different from Hal as Parallax. The first time it happened it was just his traditional costume altered to resemble Hal's Parallax look. The second time it was closer to Hal's look but still retained his traditional mask.
>>11866722It's Todd.
>>11866742>Jarret is a scalper who supports other scalpersYou are everything wrong with the figure collecting community. Up your own ass, obnoxious across every platform you post on, and to top it off, a SCALPER! Fitting that such a faggot be in charge of such a faggot general that doesn't even know what bagging and boarding a comic book means. This thread is easily the most embarrassing, and pathetic thread on the board. The guys over in the Marvel thread laugh at you.
>>11866791now this is an absolute batman I can get behind
>>11866643Am I the only one who thinks the right one gives albino gorilla vibes?
Just ordered the Alex Ross Superman from GameStop and they have movie Freeze and Ivy up for preorder, so if you pick up both you get free shipping. They ship on October 1st.
>>11867094Seems like you're still ALL IN on DCMV. I assume there's no way you're going to mix Mattel in with these 7inchers?
>>11867096I might pick up a Bane or Darkseid if the sculpt is cool enough and they scale with the DCMV guys. I fucking hate the way pelvis joints look on Mattel and Hasbro figures, like I straight up didn't buy toys before Todd's Action Comics 1000 Superman because they all have this weird blocky shit going on that makes them look like MotU and wrestling figures.I'm a miniatures game player first and foremost so sculpt is the only thing matters, and Mattel's sculpts are always as lazy as they are boring.I won't say no, but it'd have to be something really awesome to make me overlook the visual sins their designers commit.
I tell you, one is Azrael in Batman Armor and the other is Batman in Azrael Armor. But would be difficult to tell them apart.
One of the cats I tend to, Teela, jumped out the window so if you see her just let her sit on your lap or something. Shes a big fan of the DCMV so I'm guessing she went on a toy hunt or maybe she is in heat AGAIN,idk. She likes pc engine games and Batman and the Outsiders.
>>11867137Ones lighter blue, ya filthy casual. Bro, do you even bag and board?
>>11867140Todd's Chinamen who put together his figures are slackin'. Mine has a QC issue on the belt, its not on straight fully. It's close, but its noticeably off. But I ain't got no will to return it what with the line ending. I'm just so tired of DC Multiverse. I'm tired of Todd's wild ride. Hopefully it'll be well and truly over and Mattel will put out none but slop and I'll be free from this long, terrible dream.
Tell me why McFarlane's designers made his hands light teal. Spin for me the tale of madness.
>>11867156they forgot the paint
>>11867158That's just crazy enough to be true
>>11867156Theyre grey?
>>11867164His legs are gray. His hands are a light blue
>>11866543The comic has a BLM riot and Batman lets looting happen, because of systemic racism. They make a big point about this regarding the black Robin, trying to shoehorn modern George Floyd riots into a Tim Burton Batman comic, as if Rodney King riots would have been in his version of Batman. Most people drop Batman’89 right when they get to this part.
>>11867251That's shitty. I think we would all prefer to see Batman Rittenhouseing a whole Walmart of looting youths.
>>11867253batman doesn't kill. deal with it.
>>11867255He could shoot em in the dick.
>>11866543>>11867253Google summarizing the moment
>>11866791Went with LPZZ (on the right). More consistent scaling and the overall sculpt looked more accurate and the articulation was smoother in places to the point of looking seamless.
its over for mafex
>>11867507Too bad it's a terrible design & comic.
>>11867255>Burton Batman>doesn't kill
>>11867532...on opposite day, but in the real world it gigamogs anything coming out of the Marvelous Competition™on both fronts.
>>11867591>Modern comic readers have shit tasteShocking. It's just class warfare bait with a Batman who is poor sprinkled in. The whole Absolute line reeks if class warfare baiting. It's pretty shit. Not saying Marvel is producing anything better so you may as well say shit tastes better than piss.
>>11867600you just hate everything new because you're old and tired.
>>11867635No. I hate the blatant class warfare bullshit that's sprinkled across the whole line. Absolute Superman's whole deal is the class system on Krypton dictating how each Kryptonian should live their life. Or how in Absolute Batman they're trying to push him as more of a "warrior for the people" schtick by making him poor instead of the Dark Knight detective. It's not even subtle. I enjoy new stuff all the time, Absolute just isn't my cup of tea because I don't like the themes and tone. I've articulated pretty well what my specific criticism of the line is, going much deeper than "hurr durr new bad, old good". The fact that you need to resort to this strawman of an argument just shows you don't actually have anything of substance to say. Feel free to join back into the conversation when you actually have a point to make instead of making a knee jerk, overly emotional response like a woman. Good day madam.
>>11867507it's gonna be hilarious in 5 years when no one remembers this storyline
>>11867721true, they should just stop making toys at this point.
>>11867750they should stop making batman toys, yes
>>11867758Sure thing Todd.
>>11867764todd has made like 15 batman in the past 2 years
Stop talking to yourself!
>>11867721Given the history of comics, I don't think that's likely. People still remember reviled stories like the Onslaught saga
>>11867777how many people remember anything about dark nights metal other than the joker who jokers
>>11867777People remember Onslaught because it was the lead up to Heroes Reborn which was one of the things that caused Marvel to enter bankruptcy. A more fair example would be Rick Remender's Uncanny X-Force. At the time, it was declared one of the greatest X-Men stories ever told, right up there with Claremont's classic stuff. But now, no one talks about it or cares to bring it up. Only time I've seen someone mention it recently was in the Marvel thread because the released Dark Angel as an ML. You can say the same thing about Marvel's original Ultimate imprint. For a minute there, it was selling better than the mainline titles, but now, no one talks about it and the only thing remaining from that universe if Miles. Absolute will not be remembered or talked about in 5 to 10 years time.
Spoilers:>>11867793I do, it started with Barbatos the bat demon god opening up the multiverse to these dark batman variants from universes where various things went wrong for Batman like he injected himself with Doomsday juice or got the Green Lantern ring but then Batman who Keks usurps Barbatos' power and takes over the evil batmen turning the world into a shitstorm. Then its actually revealed Perpetua who was the entire creator of the multiverse is the real villain, but Batman who Keks transformed into the Darkest Knight and trapped her in the source wall, but Wonder Woman used the power of friendship and turned into a giant gold version of herself and threw him into the sun.>>11867799PLENTY of people remember the Ultimate universe. A lot of younger comic readers got into comics due to it. And they pine for it to this day to the point where Marvel just brought it back for a bit to try to compete with Absolute, but it didn't do well enough. People thought that universe would be removed entirely, but the story had a 'happy' ending and it said the Ultimate universe will return, so they are leaving open the idea that it can be used in future storylines.
>>11867650>Over emotional>replies to dismissal of griping with a rant.Change your tampon miss.
>>11867804great, so that's onevs. the 6 gorillion people who like batman and don't
>>11867777Onslaught is only remembered because he was the big bad of Marvel vs Capcom
>>11867804>Marvel just brought it back for a bit to try to compete with AbsoluteNot the same Ultimate Universe, the new one was far worse.
>>11867819Except I like Batman
>>11867817A bloo bloo bloo. Absolute is trash and you're not going to change my mind.
>>11867827and you're the one
>>11867804more people remember the ultimate spider-man video game than the actual ultimate spider-man comic
>>11867830Did you ever consider that people who like Batman would be so scarred by Dark Nights Metal that they would have it seared into their memory forever out of sheer horror?
>>11867834Nah, I read it when it came out and thought it was terrible then, still do. But I just don't think about it or buy any merch from it and I'm fine. Stop being such a little drama queen.
>>11867834I think it's more likely it just didn't do THAT well
>>11867507I had (have) the Inart on PO, then I PO'd the UPC one when those pics of it with it's incredible range of accessories came out during SDCCWhich is gonna be better you think? I expect INART's to be fuck huge which is kinda fine as long as he's not bigger than a ZT Broly
>>11867835Yet you still remember it exists. It has invaded your headspace. You cannot escape remembering it.>>11867836It's kind of weird Inart is doing figures from it if they thought the figures wouldn't sell. Everyone complains about evil Batmen variants, but there are a bunch of people who buy them
>>11867804It always pissed me off how Snyder fucked up the Barbatos thing. Barbatos was never supposed to be a real god or anything like that, at most, it was the Hyper Adapter from Grant Morrision's Bat Epic following Bruce Wayne as he traveled through time. It was only interperted to be a god by the Thomas Wayne from Puritan times, aka Simon Hurt, who was infected by the Hyper Adapter as it fell through time, becoming the "Hole in Things". I remember far more about Grant's run than I do about Metal other than The Kekman who Keked too hard and Snyder completely misinterpreting Grant Morrison's story.
>>11867839See >I remember far more about Grant's run than I do about Metal other than The Kekman who Keked too hard and Snyder completely misinterpreting Grant Morrison's story.
>>11867839>It's kind of weird Inart is doing figures from it if they thought the figures wouldn't sell. Everyone complains about evil Batmen variants, but there are a bunch of people who buy themchina buys whatever, no one knows what they like or don'tthey liked the sony venom a lot until they just randomly stopped and no one knows why
>>11867842I don't remember Grant Morrison's Bat Epic because the art on it was too ugly for me to read. Meanwhile Death Metal had Capullo so even if the plot sucked, the art didn't
>>11867832Unless they are weirdos that didn't know about the game because comic book licensed games sucked dick when I was a kid.
>>11867842Remember when the Jonkler was looking at us? That was fun. Grant Morrison is a fun human who writes fun comics.
>>11867853I remember how Maximum Carnage was impossible and harder than any modern game people say is hard
>>11867853>Unless they are weirdos that didn't know about the game because comic book licensed games sucked dick when I was a kid.that was like the 4th or 5th 9/10 spider-man game released in a row, dummyunless by "when you were a kid" you mean 2018, because the 00s was the era where almost all superhero games were at least above average if not fantastic
>>11867851Plot is more important than art. Also>Saying Adam Kubert, Frank Quietly, JH Williams, Cameron Stewart, Philip Tan, Frazer Irving, and Yanick Paquette are badHoly shit, absolutely shit taste. The only one I can give you is Tony Daniel, and i do concede that Quietly isn't for everyone.
>>11867857Yeah, but it had a cool soundtrack I guess >>11867858I wish I were a kid in 2018. My first spider man game was on Gameboy but it was my half brother's so idk what it was called.
>>11867860Fun fact: Adam was sick as shit when he was drawing the Last Son arc and wasn't able to teach or draw for a few weeks so Joe stepped in and drew some of the pages for him. There were some finished pages on Joe's desk but I don't remember which ones. I suspect Joe's pages are ones where the artist doesn't give a fuck about making the S look perfect and goes for a more raw, powerful angle and pose.Adam is a super chill and nice guy.
>>11867860>Plot is more important than art.I dunno, bro. I read Spawn and enjoyed it from 1-100 but as soon as Capullo left and that Angel guy came in with his bizarre anatomy creatures, I noped right out. I think with comics it's more 50-50
>>11867832That game is apparently worth remembering but I'm not gonna get to it until I finish Web of Shadowsor maybe I should actually play that first since Web of Shadows probably plays better
>>11867857I member arguing with a Gamestop employee that was getting actually mad at me for saying Maximum Carnage was single player, because he had distinct memories of playing co-op with his brother, and I was telling him that was Seperation Anxiety, and he was gonna fuckin lose it so I just ended up slowly backing towards the door and leaving as he started slipping Spanish words into his English sentences
>>11867924it's the only "modern" spider-man game where you can play regularly as venom, and he does play differently from spider-man
>>11867886What about Andy?
>>11867860>Quietly isn't for everyone.Quitely is for NO ONE.
>>11867964Andy is a really cool guy, too.
>>11867860>Plot is more important than art.If that was true the DC icons line would have been a success as it made characters that people enjoy and was not just Batman in different colours
>>11868008>t. paid $70 to take a photo and be tolerated by him for 2 minutes at a con
>>11867860>Saying Adam Kubert, Frank Quietly, JH Williams, Cameron Stewart, Philip Tan, Frazer Irving, and Yanick Paquette are badno one says anything about them because no one cares about comic books, people can name authors of manga more so than incel coded superhero slop
>>11867966quite frankly I disagree.
>>11867914This. That anon must be a tranny.
>>11867156Too bad it doesn't have these hands.
>>11868035
>>11867914I dunno anon, Spawn's plot while nonsensical at times is pretty compelling. I enjoyed the first 50 or whatever issues I read beyond the art, which yes, was great. Capullo does great stuff, and is actually a pretty cool dude, I met him at a con once, he took a goofy picture with me. Fun guy.>>11867966You can't deny that his dynamicism and the flow of motion he can produce isn't top tier. I get his lumpy style isn't for everyone, but goddamn, when he cooks, he cooks. All Star Superman is a highlight of his for me. >>11868009DC Icons failed because it was stuck behind DCC being not able to sell to a non collector market. This was before the collectors sections at Target and Walmart, so maybe now they would've been able to get stocked there, but at the time, the only place you could get them were actual comic shops. And for what it's worth, the ones at my local shop sold pretty well. It got to a point where I would have to have them order me a figure instead of casually grabbing it off the shelf since popular characters tended to sell rather fast. >>11868014Bot reply.
>DC ELITE EDITION CLARK KENTReady to pony up for a Clark Kent figure? I'm not
>>11868008I was just being silly. Its crazy to think of shoes that they were expected to fill when the Image guys left and the X-Men needed artists >>11868012The Kuberts run a program for art, so why pay $70 for an autograph when you could pay tuition for a diploma signed by all three of them?
>>11868053>DC Icons failed because it was stuck behind DCC being not able to sell to a non collector market. This was before the collectors sections at Target and Walmart, so maybe now they would've been able to get stocked there, but at the time, the only place you could get them were actual comic shops. And for wexplain why absolute is selling a million copies per issue and every toy company wants to make the character while no one is making any of the boring boomer garbage you gloat about getting restocked at LCS during icons run
>>11868111>explain why absolute is selling a million copies per issue and every toy company wants to make the character while no one is making any of the boring boomer garbage you gloat about getting restocked at LCS during icons runfor casualshave they made ANY of the absolute villains yet?I know someone (mafex?) is making catwoman, but that's it
>>11868111>selling in the millionsCitation needed. Absolute Batman #1 sold 400,000 copies. and has dropped in numbers since then. Piss off with your disingenuous arguments. You're probably a bot too.
>>11868115>for casualsand that's why anime is popular unlike comic books which rightfully deserves to be dead
>>11868120>Citation needed. Absolute Batman #1 sold 400,000 copies. and has dropped in numbers since then. Piss off with your disingenuous arguments. You're probably a bot too.you're a retarded comic book fag and can't understand why your shitty capeslop is dead and deserve to be made fun of while absolute kicks ass and is the talk of the town
>>11868103I've declined the offer for a ShadowHawk and a Spartan so far, both for the sake reason. I'm not paying $60+ for a McFarlane figure. The Elite Image Founders Savage Dragon looks like a middling articulated statue, I just I just can't do it man. Hell I'm talking myself out the Witch Blade figure, which wouldn't be bad as statue for $60, for the very same reasons. Now if it were the manga or anime version of With Blade maybe I'd be a bit more free with my pocket book.
>>11868121>>11868123why are you seethingyou should double down about your flavor of the month crappola that nobody will care about in a year
>>11868121>dude don't gatekeeplmao
>>11868127>dude just let comics die because we need to continue the incel boomer shit and you retards wonder why anime won
>>11868129but your "people" bitch about every aspect of anime all day long as you watch itcome back when you no longer get triggered by shots of cartoon teenagers' panties before you claim to be a weeb
>>11868134things I like have toys, things you like will never get toys because you're a comic book fag
>>11868109Yeah then you can watch as people who were next in line on major books get overlooked because corporate mysteriously wants former CIA spooks to be on Batman #1 like Tom King. Then maybe you even get a gig as a colorist and the pages you have to color are Batman driving around in the daytime while Superman and Wonder Woman make out in the clouds in their shitty new52 costumes and you wonder what the point of commercial art even is when it seems to be blatant propaganda. The comics industry is fuuuuuun
>>11868123I accept your concession you stupid fucking bot.
>>11868135you're right, they don't ever make toys of comic book charactersgreat point
>>11868135>he says in a thread about toys of comic book characters >a thread he willingly and knowingly entered of his own volitionYou are a clown.
>>11868124And it isn't even the original comic version. It was an easy pass for me given its the new look.
>>11868123>capeslop is deadspider-man brand new gay made over 1 billion in a weekend, and that movie was lame as fuckdid your precious demon slayer movie beat that last year or whatever?
>>11868150Spiderman is for babies because they know it has to sell netchandis to make money
>>11868155>netchandisnigga whatI assume you mean merchandise, and you mean all the toys they make from spider-man shit, which you erroneously claimed very recently that they do not make
>>11868150demon slayer has way more relevance than any capeslop that's for sure
>>11868163in terms of what?obviously it didn't make as much money as spider-man did in 3 days, so I don't understand your argument
>>11868155Batman is more kiddified than Spider-Man. Spidey covers things more maturely than DC shit.
>>11868195batman is the one who hangs around a rotating cast of underage boys
>>11868195Projection
KPop Demon Slayer!Where's my fucking Atom movie?
Does anyone have the batlink batmobile?
My Mafex may finally get mogged.
>>11868008>>11868109I like Andy Kubert more than Jim Lee. He's still the guy I think of when I think back to the X-men
>>11868223>1/10
>>11868277I’ll just set him a few inches back on the shelf. Problem solved with a little forced perspective
>>11867838both look awesome figure, mostly come down to the scale
You guys can barely speak English in here. Holy shit, this place is infested with shills and browns.
>>11868508HOLY CALAMITY SCREAMING SANITYALL YOU EVER DO IS GET A LITTLE BIMBAM BEENO IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEMEOOR A HUNKA CHUNKA KINO OF A SKIBBIDY SUPREMO
>>11868509For real.
what comic is mattels kids batman based on?
>>11868538buttman & robert
>>11868553this is a serious thread boy.
>>11868538I don't think the single release is really based on anything. It uses the capsule belt from the 70s and 80s, the darker blue cape and cowl from the 2000s and the yellow outline from the 2010s. It's kind of just a catch all version. Meanwhile, the single release Robin is clearly based on Dan Mora's updated costume for an older Dick Grayson before he becomes Nightwing.
>>11868248I re read X-cutioners Song and the art is solid, it still has that flashy X-Men style. But damn do the X-Men cry about everything, I can't think of a more sensitive team of super heros.
>>11868538Digital Justice
>>11868212This is painfully accurate, i dont get why hollywood has been so obsessed with mergers within the past decade+. I swear all this merger fiasco bullshit started after disney bought star wars
>>11868474As much as I like the Death Metal-like Batman designs, this design doesn't really do it for me for some reason. Too bulky. They did it very well though.
>>11868569Some mergers are actually because both companies are in financial trouble and will collapse without the merger. I've seen speculation that could be the WB/DC situation but it was from random youtube guys so huge grains of salt
Imagine walking into your local toy store to pick up a Fondjoy instad of a Mcfarlane
>>11868654imagine thinking about gives a fuck about comic books in this day and age
>>11868654Really feels like the US gets the short end of the stick with toys where people have better options for figures in random Asian countries while here in the US we're stuck with scarce domestics unless we order online.
>>11868657Apparently you do because you constantly parrot this same reply, bot.
>>11868053>DC Icons failed because it was stuck behind DCC being not able to sell to a non collector market.Didn't DC Icons fail because the quality control was ass and figures kept breaking?
Dr. Fate in his jammies soon to be released by Mezco.
>>11868661No one bought anything at comic stores so they closed up shop. You might have 1 collectors shop every 3 states and they're struggling because people only go to retail stores to browse or shoot shit with employees if they're that lonely. There's no reason to buy stuff at a store when you can get it for $10 cheaper delivered and not have to go anywhere or deal with the public.
>>11868747Then why do Asian countries still have toy stores?
>>11868750Because they don't have black people and prison there is literal torture. Americans are fat and spoilt and cry about everything and don't deserve nice things like toy stores because you let it die and in favour of letting China make all the toys
>>11868750because asians pack 10x the amount of people into the same amount of space vs the USA/Bongland/ETC and they're all autistic as shit. Public transport makes them capable of going retail shopping without it being much of a hassle. Walk out of apartment, get on train, do things in fun area, get back on train which lands right at your apartment complex.
>>11868663Let him be, he is "special" and should be ignored like the "special" class at school. He just doesn't know how being friendly works, but he's really good at stacking boxes.
>>11868753Uh, anon, public transport is far more of a hassle to get places in because you have to time things by other people's rules. Going in a car means you can leave and come back whenever you want.
>>11868775barely anyone outside the USA ever even drives anywhere dude. Trains in asian countries are always on time, come every 5 minutes, and are insanely fast.
>>11868561That was the soap opera. It's a bit silly when you look back but it was effective for a good while. I really miss the hair.
>>11868561I can't even think of any other Saturday Morning cartoon that involved as many tears as the X-Men did>Cyclops cry>Logan Cry>Jean Cry>Charles scream then cry
>>11868781cute couple
>>11868788Sabretooth woulda had Jean acting like the Mistress from Superjail
>>11868780>Trains in asian countries are always on time, come every 5 minutes,Yeah sure, and they're all living in McMansions with free room and board and complimentary maid staff as well.
>>11868794Not quite but they do have better accommodations than anyone in NYC that's not a millionaire
Any news about the Mattel collectors line?
>>11868828lmao
>>11868828Sneak peek that may not be shown publicly at NYCC for all we know, only fully revealed Jan 2027
>>11868841But I want to spend money now...
>>11868849-Todd-'s expanding his areas in select Target electronics >>11868821-Todd- is your only option for a quick DC collectible figure fix besides online sales.
>>11868828Yeah, I read that some Batman figures in both the children's and the grown ass man series will be based upon the Digital Justice story and feature a Bat Link styled play gimmick.
>>11868938>Bat Linkbatta link deez nuts to ur face
>>11868938Why would they latch on this story? It looks deranged
>>11868956>It looks deranged
>>11868956It's high tech, cutting edge computer stuff and kids love that crap. And yeah, it is one of the more uh, unique stories I've read from DC.
>>11867926Had a game stop guy lose his shit bc I wouldn't hear out his extra long sales pitch for gameschlop plus for the 100th time. Why the hell do I want to pay you money for a special account to then only continue to buy toys in store when they're on clearance.
Supergirl flopping broke me. I haven't been on /co/ since.
>>11869356if you couldn't spot that failure from a mile away, you need to stop living in dream land
Worlds Finest looks like a decent replacement for Knightfall, it has a fabric cape.
>>11869356That came and went quicker than a egg fart .
>>11869356this face killed the movie and they used it as the money shot of nearly every trailer
>>11869356watched it the other day. it wasn't especially bad but it wasn't really any good either. It filled time.
>>11869356I still don't understand why this wasn't an animated film. The visuals of the comic can never be replicated in live-action, yet they chose that route and it cost them double of what it should've been. Either way, the script was still bad, they didn't even get the theme of the story right. It's also ironic that it's sandwiched between Toy Story 5 and Minions.
>>11869393I might be tempted if the Superman looks cool. They're reusing sculpts, which makes sense, but a final definitive Superman headsculpt would be tight.Especially if they do the cel shading on his trunks so it'd look like a STAS suit, oh buddy.Right now I'm tempted to pick up Batman #1 to go with Fleischer Supes, but I still have two Batman figures I haven't opened yet because they're just shelf buddies for Superman figures and I want to take the time to enjoy them not just plug them into the display and only take them down for the monthly dusting.
But yeah I also found my old Wayne Manor playset in my dad's attic last weekend so it looks like the DC shelf is going to split into a Superman side and a Batman side.
>neal adams batman doesnt look like neal adams at all, 90% certain the eyes are upside down>kelly jones batman has the wrong emblem entirely at least they actually exist i guess
>>11868474looks like it was designed by a gay deviant artist with a hyper muscle fetish
“World’s Finest” Batman
>>11869393It's just the same ol buck. I would wait for mattel
>>11869480How? That's worse than Hasbro.
>>11869495its a mystery
>>11869495Hasbro what?
>>11869495https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvVa3W8XiP4
>>11869491Yeah I know and I'd be ok missing out but I do want one with a fabric cape. It's a shame knightfall is limited by that plastic cape. I wish I could go back to when the general was hyping it up and yell at them about the cape.
“Haunted Gotham” Batman
>>11869515>>11869480what's wrong with the eyes?
Arkham Knight Batman
>>11869526>>11869528Mattel did such a great job with their kids toy.
>>11869480Still getting mogged by the Mafex.
>>11869526Is the cape wired or not? I can't tellAnd is it that shitty ribbon cape or an actual cloth cape?
>>11869530Just the right scale so that I can fit them in my asshole, hands free is the best
>>11869541barely, their knightfall looks like he uses the ab-abber regiment
>>11869528I don't like super long ears.
>>11869562homosexuality is a sin
>>11869536wow, multiple batman figures at oncehow novel
>>11869583name one DC character besides batman that can do this without being catastrophic financial decision
>>11869588I can'tbecause not even batman could save todd
>>11869548if you would actually do that you would prefer Mcfarlanes
>>11869591i can fit 5 mattels in my ass for the price of one mcfart

Battle damaged Catwoman has been found at retail. She comes with Al alt-head.
>>11869614>She comes with Al alt-head.was this not known already?
>>11869618I didn't know. Im now angry at McFarlane that I bought the original so I get 1 head and not 2
>>11869526So this is it? they finally made the definitive batman figure? Too bad the blue is too muted and the grey is too lightNow give us a Neal Adams Green Arrow so I can dump this line
>>11869628If you look at the high res pictures he has a slight smile which rubs me the wrong way for a Batman figure. Also while individuals say it has a wire, none of the images prove it, so it could turn into a disaster like that other KF buck one that had no wire.
>>11869614
>>11869528I just think a Kelly Jones inspired figure should have a bulkier build. All three are the same price but this guy>>11869529 gets a full load of gadgets. I forget but what was the gun nearest to Arkham Batman used for?
>>11869658Thats the bulkiest batman body mcfarlane hasAnd McFarlane has never made sense with distribution of accessories. One 35 figure will come with almost nothing and then a standard 27 figure will come with all that
>>11869588Power GirlPhantom Lady probably Harley Quinn too judging by how many Harley statues get made
>>11869588Green lanterns but that’s kinda cheating
>>11868746Patiently waiting for the man of steel reissue. Him and wolverine set on Amazon for over a year around $80 boy do I regret not getting them then.

>>11869677you wish
>>11868938Look at those graphics. The future, man, what a time to be alive.
>>11869428The Hollywood mindset is that animation is exclusively for kids films. Which is weird because given how much CGI is in these films now, they're basically animated anyway.
>>11869469read it nigger
>>11871617I read the first few issues. It's class warfare trash that's trying to convince you to rise up against the rich, because that always works out so well.
>>11871742You clearly read the non-canon free comic day comic and nothing else
>>11871617I did. It's cringe. Absolute Cringe.
