>>11891881Whats the best way to contact mcfarlane toys for a replacement part? I got the ventriloquist from target and the scarface included wont have his arm stay in no matter how hard i try and push it in. This shit is so infuriating.
>>11891923Have you tried heating up the socket with a hair dryer? Just get it good and hot and it should pop in.
>>11891925Or wait, is it loose and won't stay in at all? Like the ball is too small?
>>11891889I really wish they stopped using those in unfortunate head sculpts that make Cavil's hairline have that severe receding look. It's a combination of slicking down his hair and whatever awful grease they used. I'm curious to see how this poses once someone buys it but I suppose I will have to wait for a line like LPZZ to make a comic accurate figure or something other live action that this suit or Gunn's equally unfortunate choice for Corenswet.
>>11891923Their customer service is especially shitty, IMO. I have returned similar problems to Target and they have either given me my money back or gotten me a replacement. It helped that I still had the packaging, even though the figure had been taken out?>>11891925>>11891926It looks like if popped out when he took it out of the clam shell?
>>11891891Super powers is the perfect example of why Warner went with Mattel. Todd just isn’t financially capable enough to mass produce $10 toys that are all basically the same mold. Now we have $13 6 inch figures with better volume and distribution than he ever had.
>>11891941>distribution It is worse with smaller lines (one of the few NECA things I wanted over the past 3 years I ended up having to order online even though multiple physical Target locations are within walking-the-dog distance of my place. But to be fair to Mattel, some of that store distribution is the same shit even the Classified guys and Legends guys have bitched about with both Walmart and Target.I had to wait till the movie hit Amazon, to find this camo MOTU kids line variant at a suburban Walmart two county lines away from me. My poor dog could walk it but it was still like 30 miles away.
>>11891941I mean he got to the point where he was selling the same mold for almost $30 in a larger scale.
Preorders are up for these new Super Friends figures!
Dude it’s so bad he’s samefagging his own thread to try to bury this one
>>11891972Todd still tried the same FOMO, False Scarcity BS as far back as the Green Lantern Hal Jordan, which was peg warming in some places but idiots were forced to pay $60 or more to get from scalpers.
Did VF just report our posts about reporting him? Kek
>>11892065Yeah, I for one will not be using these threads anymore and will post my toys in other ones. Sorry but this guy ruined the threads for everyone.
I didn't know Mattel had a toy store at their corporate headquarters and hit it today after my sports medicine clinic appointment. Sadly, I was looking for the wave 2 core figures but they barely had any of the wave 1. Loads of the Band 2PK. Those Mattel Brick sets look fucking huge. I wonder if Mattel license will allow them to do brick sets because I am ready for not non batwank stuff to be on shelves.
>>11892087>Bane 2PK

>Upcoming Blokees DC, this month:- DC Champion Class 05 - Batman (Hush)- DC Champion Class 06 - Catwoman (Hush)
>November releases:- DC Champion Class 07 - Joker (Hush)- DC Champion Class 08 - Superman (Hush)so did Jim Lee make a deal with someone to get it in his contract that every fucking import toy company on the planets needs to make Hush toys before they get to do something else DC?
>>11892121Maybe it's a mix of Hush being a universally popular story that includes a lot of characters in a similar style, while also using their more evergreen looks, and companies choosing it to try and win immediate favour with Jim?
>>11891941>Now we have $13 6 inch figures with better volume and distribution than he ever had.crazy thing to say about a line thats currently only in target, and about a company with notoriously awful distribution

Is there an archive for /toy/?
>>11892104Haha
>>11892156https://archive.palanq.win/toy/search/subject/DC%20General/
Any word on Harley Quinn? Im really out of the loop but I thought it was a Sept release, maybe Labor Day threw things off schedule?
RED PRATINOOM Warpland Superman. He's up at Gamestop for preorder.
>>11892163Thank you. It seemed like a bunch of stuff happened and then got deleted while I was asleep.
>>11892170I like McFarlane all well and good, but I do find it infuriating that he keeps releasing the same figures just with new heads. Like did the The Batman Catwomen really need three entire figures just for the different positions of her mask?
>>11892149Going to echo what I said last thread: Love the extra accessories like the gritting teeth and lit flare, but the texture on the Inart is just way too excessive with the pitted texture all over even on the smooth padded parts of the costume. I also think the Pattinson likeness looks better on LPZZ, whereas the Inart looks ever so slightly off/stylized. Also combing through the film, Inart opted for an unmasked headsculpt based on a general look that he rocks through most of the film, whereas LPZZ opted to sculpt his hairdo 1:1 to the only scene where he actually takes off the cowl while still wearing the suit and his hair was really unkempt. So in that regard, it's a choice between getting a generalized unmasked head vs a scene-specific one.
>>11892126I don't know about you but the Mattel DC figures are even at the one CVS in my area that has an entire aisle for toys. I picked up the Robin at a Walmart and the Batman and Flash were easy to find at Target. They are also even at Game Stop.
>>11892150>>11892151This looks fucking awesome
>>11892119>hush
>>11892238I know we're all sick of Hush, but I personally am really excited for Blokees to do a comic Superman.
>>11892150Wish they'd make Mr. Freeze. That design was so good.
>>11892119>it looks better than the mafexLOL
>>11892316Blokees shills are delusional
>>11892347Okay mafex shill
>>11892291Yep, me too. Especially if they do an alternate head like they did with the 2025 figure.
You're all shills! All shills but me! I hate TOYS and I hate DC.
>>11892204The previous prototype had a lot more texture. Which looks like the actual texture of the costume close-up. While still too much, I liked it more than the rough/rock-like texture of the final piece.
>>11892461The stitching looked better, too. Now, the LPZZ is better.
>>11892461>>11892204Yeah, that's definitely a much nicer Batpatinson head sculpt.
>>11892156Shockingly so. The photographs seem to last longer that the main archive (desu)
>>11892150Looking forward to this, recently got my first INART figure, and its amazing
>>11891991The Atom has a tiny Atom like Toyman had the tiny Supes? I refuse to go to Todd's site ....

He’s doing everything he can to try and out bump this thread. Pathetic.
>>11892227i picked up the BLM Green Lantern from Gamestop. i've never seen any at walmart. and i have multiple around me
>>11892489Doesn't look like it, unfortunately
>>11892532yeah i am deep in walmart country and even with resets there's no mattel dc spots in the aisles
>>11892494We're stronger than him
>>11892494Another anon in the previous thread proposed an interesting theory.>>11892274
I’ve gone back a little over a years worth of threads and have been training an ai with it. It can now identify valley forges aka Jarret’s post with 98% accuracy without his trip. I’m going to turn it into a free browser extension if anyone is interested.
>>11892584This is fucking brilliant.
>>11892584Can you use it to compare VF to NECA anon and see if >>11892274 is correct?
>>11892584Please do this>>11892586it would be so fucking funny if he’s also neca anon. We already figured out he’s a mod after he deleted all the posts from his thread this morning
>>11892586>>11892588You guys really are fucking retarded.
>>11892569that overwhelming need for attention is a relentless kind of drug
>>11892580It's interesting because you can't tell people apart. And that should concern you, because it means you have brain rot.
>>11892592Well it looks like we touched a nerve.
>>11892599No, you just show your asses in the most astonishingly dumb ways.
This looks cool. I'm bummed that the heat vision Superman figure is in his NU52 outfit, otherwise it'd be a definite buy from me.
>>11892613>Hulkbust, er, Supermanbuster armor activate!
>>11892616It makes no sense for Batman to put a cape on a mechsuit, but I do love it.
>>11892616Looks a lot cooler than any hulkbuster I've ever seen too
>Hey ChatGPT, call Jarret a faggot and post a picture of Mattels dc kids line Batman
>>11891881>>Alex Ross SupermanIt annoys me when people call it Alex Ross Superman because Ross only did the colors, the actual art was drawn by Doug Braithwaite.
>>11892651>Don't post DC figures in the DC General
>>11892613Yeah I saw those this morning, and they look good in hand. They actually would be helped a tiny bit by being a bit taller.
>>11892666The heat vision Superman stands about a head taller than the basic assortment Batman, I think to make room for the speaker and arm gimmick. Which is great that they didn't just do one thing and call it a day, I think kids will love it, but if I could have my way, I'd love to get a regular size Superman that just has the light-up eyes. Just press a button on the back and the eyes light up, real simple.Light-up eyes are probably my favourite gimmick, along with glow-in-the-dark figures. Which I'm surprised they don't do for Green Lantern figures,
>>11892693These just look too shiny in hand, in a way this Flash and Robin do not Some idiot was claiming that Mattel always made shiny figures but that's nonsense since I have been getting MOTU figures from 2020 onward, mostly on the secondary market, plus some of the new movie figures, and none of those are fucking shining up my roomThis dude's claws don't count since they are clearly meant to be mechanical
>>11892585brilliance usually is
>>11892178I heard that the fact there were 2 masked versions was due to the designs of the mask changing late in the movie development but its a rumor.
Jarret is a faggot
>>11892781Well, we already know that toy manufacturers do have to make things in advance of the release of the movie and stuff gets tinkered with.The Yeti that SpinMaster made/released for Superman 2025 is a perfect example. There isn't even cutting room film of it, just pre-wiz and some stuff that just shows the dog (actor) and blood on the snow, because they never spent the money doing the yeti in CGI
>>11892876>>11892651
Plastic Man repaint on the 10th
>>11892533Yeah, it just has the stupid repeated communicator.How fucking annoying. It would be like releasing Jan and Zan without the monkey.
>>11892728No, the current motu stuff is definitely not shiney.
>>11892693can't wait for this to pop up on clearance so I can get it for the head
>>11892586we deduced that way back when he went nuts for the neca elvira
>>11893018did you know Elvira was “raped” by Wilt the Stilt?
>>11892781I can understand McFarlane doing a re-release of Catwoman with the updated mask, but that doesn't excuse the initial release being two entirely separate figures for the masked and unmasked version, the same with the masked and unmasked Batman. They should have just been one figure with alternate heads.
>>11892951>so I can get it for the headI don't think you'll be able to cleanly remove it, anon. The electronics will probably fuck it up. But depending on your plans, maybe that doesn't matter.
>>11892902Free reaction image.
>>11893073Yeah that seems like on Todd trying to get more money out of the equation
Just for the hell of it I put together a comparison between the Mattel Batman v Superman basic figure and the McFarlane BvS Superman (it's the heat vision version but I swapped the head with the Justice League black suit version).I thought it was interesting that even though it's a basic figure Mattel actually included the proper chainmail print design from the suit in such accurate detail, whereas the McFarlane version just has a generic pattern. That said Mattel really fucked up Cavill's likeness, it looks more like Oleg "The Russian Bear" Taktarov
>>11893121Oleg for reference.
>>11893121Yeah, I did buy the Movie Masterpiece, the black suit version, that Mattel did - at that point, it was far less expensive than the first iteration that Todd did that was essentially scalper pricing when I went to look for it. But then I ended up with an auction lot win, and now with two more off the Ross Exclusives (literally just for the heads and fodder bodies for customs).But the new generation of Mattel figures are so much better. I think Hasbro has the right way to go here, where they are face printing the live action figures, because you did see painting differences on the Core MOTU figures on the movie characters - not as noticeable with say Man At Arms, but on Teela's face and especially on He-Man's eyebrows. No where as shitty a thing as Todd's side eye, or lipstick problems, however.>>11893073I mean, he did masked and unmasked Drifter heads for BatPatinson. Who does that? I've yet to see the movie, but the character couldn't have been that important that they couldn't have just done a soft goods or even soft rubber scarf and accomplish the same thing?It's why those two damn things peg-warmed so badly that Target is still trying to sell them off at a discount.
>>11893151Forgot the picture? It might not be this 2013 version, because you're right >>11893122 -- it is a shitty face sculpt. Mine was boxed and I ended up turning around and listing it and then selling it, within a few weeks of getting the first McFarlane used.
>>11893121McFarlane tends to give the sculptors more leeway
>>11893121I think Mattel has better tech than Mcfarlane. They probably have their own in house design programs where they can pull up a figure (say He-man) and slap different textures on him like Chainmail, Scales, or even make him ribbed for your pleasure. Todd has freelancers who probably just use blender and then he puts the stl file through some articulation cutter someone made 10 years ago.
>>11893179I was under the impression all companies used freelance sculptors. And that even Todd got the CAD files from movie designs (which he has mentioned in interviews in the past)
>>11893179Mattel might have gotten the actual print file for Warner Bros. to add to the figure and McFarlane either couldn't get it, or didn't bother to ask. The REALLY odd thing is the chest emblem has the correct chainlink design.
>>11893177McFarlane also seems to not QC sculpts at many points in the process, from paper to finished production
>>11893219which stand is that?
>>11893248Mondo. Came with 200X skeletor
I hate to engage in thread war shit, but I think VF is having a meltdown in the previous thread.
>>11892119>Upcoming Blokees DC, this monthHoly shit they come out this month?>>11892121>DC Champion Class 08 - SupermanHoly shit we're getting a comic Superman Blokees!?
>>11893255Thank you.I wonder if Mondo sells stuff like that separately, the way NECA, and now Hasbro and even the toddler have - although I honestly have no idea how long Hasbro has sold stands on Pulse.
>>11893331Yeah, I was waiting for shit to show up discounted at Walmart, but apparently they are only selling the Star Wars, since that finally loaded and I ordered Ani, but even the new Marvel shit they have only listed through third parties, same as Amazon. So I guess Entertainment Earth or even Blokees Official will get my free shipping order. Between shit like PICREL, I have enough to hit $79 or $99 easily.
>>1189286090s toys were wild
>>11893319Wow you really can't tell anyone apart. That says a lot about you and your intentions.
>>11893493Fuck your ass with a hard turd
>>11893493>everyone who hates an attention whore is the same anon
>>11893514A side eye on a Luthor figure is not inappropriate.
>>11892227Never even seen any at Walmart let alone CVS or Walgreens.
>>11893483that ones just particularly weird. there does exist a normalish rare variant
>>11893539Same here, I've even looked at Casey's and Dollar General
>>11893514>>11893499You continue to be retarded as fuck
>>11892580NECA anon that freaks out if you mention pedophile NECA sculptor?
>>11893561We need to go back before paint apps cost extra money.
>>11893574Sure, you gonna fix the economy?
>>11893577Install a Bill Clinton emulator as our once and future leader and it will fix the economy, returning paint apps to all your bare modern figures.
>>11893665He's cute
Kind of wish who ever is doing the DC stuff did more iterations. There's a bunch of manchildren who'd buy up the 2003 Anime-Teen Titan figures.
>>11893674>did more iterations.Like...what Todd was doing? What do you mean? Just different shows and stuff? Mattel did that too.
>>11893685Yeah. Like for example, the 2003 Titans from the cartoon or some shit.
>>11893686>Like for example, the 2003 Titans from the cartoon or some shit.Anon, you can just say you want Teen Titans figures.Although didn't Todd try and something forced him to stop immediately after doing Cyborg?
>>11893219>>11893220>>11893222Cool. I'm hoping for a single Hal release so I can use all the Alien heads I've acquired. Hopefully we'll get a Jessica we can use for all the females as well.
>>11893710That was such a nothing figure
>>11893743it looks like the source material, which is surprising
>>11893744weren't no dildo arms in the cartoon, pal
>>11893743It would have probably been more impressive if the whole team had been put together.>>11893745>weren't no dildo arms in the cartoonThat's obviously meant to be the blast effect shown in the card art.
I think it's time we get a Shade figure. Not the Starman version because that's what HE wants but the true blue Shade, The Changing Man. Dude was so rad he appeared in Copra of all books. It'd be a great reason to just make up clip on pieces and effects and stuff, plus it'd bother him so much that it'd be funny.
>>11893749>the true blue ShadeBut, anon, he's orange.
>>11893710>Although didn't Todd try and something forced him to stop immediately after doing Cyborg?I guess that'd make sense on why it didn't keep going HUH
>>11892902...why did they mold just ONE of the cross stitches on his top?
I’m only buying Mattels kids line unless the collector line is just an upgraded version of that. I do not want what they are doing with chronicles. Mattel has on figured out how to make the joints smooth. They are either tight or loose. I don’t want to deal with that. Despite the articulation handling the chronicles heman is not fun. Their core line and origins are better.
>>11893833The art of joint QC is lost on modern manufacturers; thats why the cheap domestics moved to ratchets. From what I hear Chronicles is trying to do smooth entirely friction joints the way it used to be done. Which is superior to ratchets when done well. But when done poorly......
>>11893870It’s very disappointing because the figures do look great
>>11893833I haven't had much problems with the joints on my Chronicles, but the one figure that did was Skeletor which had a really tight right shoulder. Had to pop it off and lightly sand it down until it felt smooth enough to move. While it was an easy fix, I can understand the worry given how it felt like it could have easily broke and not every collector has the experience in customizing to fix that.As for the kid's line, I'm pleasantly surprised by them. I really wish Mattel keeps investing in the line to bring in more characters and occasional unique sculpts. I've actually found myself really enjoying them, and they feel like a perfect mix of a kid's toy while still being collector-friendly all at such an affordable price. The DC Premier line honestly feels like the kind of kid's line I would've wanted, and I hope they go far enough to do a Batcave and plenty other characters/playsets for them. The line isn't perfect, but they work really well in filling out a lineup/cast without feeling like I'm spending an arm or a leg for each character. They're also cheap enough that I don't worry about customizing them into a more desirable version of the character or just swap them out for a better figure from past lines.
>>11893878Dude, that Deathstroke looks fucking rad.
>>11893898It's a preview of the upcoming release. He looks pretty decent despite all the parts reuse. I'm thinking of either painting the chest/shoulders black or the abs/arms metallic blue to give it a more classic look.
>>11893075Ah right, thanks for reminding me. I did pull off one of the Corensupes heads from the one stupid action pose Superman movie figure, the one that came with the Kaiju, since the entire package was like $7 at a Ross or TJ Maxx. I think I did have to crack the chest and the head remains on a rachet pole.
>>11893917Depending on how the plastic is, you might be able to pull him apart and dye them black.
>>11893816that's really strange. >>11892902 calls it a repaint but that's a different torso and head. the build a figure had different sculpted details
>>11893219Except for the human flesh tone hands, these all look great. A Gundam type marker would come in handy or some black or other color gloved hands. I thought it was a pain to get the head off - that's the John Stewart? And how are you pegging the head on?
>>11894000Pegged right on. Mcfarlane heads fit these but most sit too low because of the peg length. Im sure someone has longer replacement pegs already.
>>11893920>I think I did have to crack the chest and the head remains on a rachet pole.What were you planning to do with the head?
>>11894042I ended up with extra of the SpinMaster CorenSupes because I wanted multiples of the Lex Luthor combat suit, and I also made - I think three of the SpinMaster Gary Robot BAF's (all purchased on clearance).I was going to stick one of the heads on a Justice Gang suit and also a small House of El decal on the jacket front, and a standard big one on the back. >>11894049Curiously enough, that's exactly what your mom said about you last night.
>>11893816Rare exclusive Invisible Platinum(TM) variant

>>11894205This figure looks worse than a Spawn figure I bought 1998
>>11894236>mattel schizoNice gaslighting faggot
>>11894236You don't even buy toys
>>11893833I'm excited for the NYCC sneak peek. If they have the collector's line keep the same quality as the kid's line but with more niche characters I think we'll be sitting pretty.
>>11894271I want good cheap domestics
>>11894269>If they have the collector's line keep the same quality as the kid's lineThe quality of no ankle articulation, single jointed elbows, no ab crunches and no butterfly joints?

I have some McFarlane DC figures but I was wondering what are some good Spawn figures? I’m thinking of getting Manga Spawn or MK11 Bloody Spawn because I think they look cool
>>11895220they're functionally all the same just like every mcfarlane dc figure. just get whatever tickles your fancy if you already like those other figures.

The sign of a damaged line is when no one talks about it when there are no new preorders. That implies no customizing, no posing, no ideas regarding existing figures.
>>11895346The movies are bad, the comics are bad, the toylines have been bad in recent years. What do you do? Who wants to get excited over a super Red Platinum Chase Gold Plasma edition figure?
>>11895346Why would anyone bother buying Mattel's slop? They're so boring and cheap and it's just the same Batman buck painted different colors
>>11895410NECA or the Furfag general don't seem to be too busy, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, chum
>>11895410DC's comics right now are not bad. Absolute has been pretty good.

>>11895346If you want to talk about McFarlane, there's an entire containment subreddit open to youIf you want to shit on Todd, the entire internet is your playground, even this thread.The very few /toy/ anons who have not been driven way try to talk about something: Mondo Ivy, Inart Arkham, Blokees, Beast Kingdom - even talking about reissues like Mafex Hush or NECA soft goods, and either it's ignored, they get abused, it devolves into the usual 'poor fag' shit.SDCC reveals were probably the last time there was actually any decent reason to visit the thread, which likely means NYCC will be the next time it's worthwhile. tl;dr this reflects a damaged /toy/ board culture, not a damaged IP or even damaged adult collectible character figure line

My dynamic duo arrived.
>>11895525But how many sane people would collect $35 action figures?
>>11895561Again, don't be such an over dramatic retard. There are plenty of people who spend far more than $35 far more frequently than most of the dweebs in this thread. I'm looking to drop $800-$1000 on a suppressor for my rifle for my other hobby. And no this isn't a brag or anything, this is me telling you that toy collecting, especailly domestic toylines, is relatively cheap compared to other hobbies.
>>11895565Wrong
>>11895565Self defense is important, toys are not.
>>11895299I'm more excited about picrel. The Adventures of Batman with Robin The Boy Wonder was my Batman growing up and I fucking love this design.I also have the phrase "Stand by for 180 Bat-turn!" burned into my brain.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhq5J5iWlnsI grew up in the 90s, so I love Conroy, but I had the earlier series on VHS and that's what I watched most, so Olan Soule is my Batman.Thank fuck I'm not epileptic, who the fuck thought opening the series with rapidly flashing red and blue screens?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4_ueeTU2q0
>>11895598I don't need a can for self defense though. If I were just looking for that I'd buy a $400 Glock and call it a day. I spend money on multiple rifles and accessories because I like them.
>>11895462Oh yeah Catwoman is probably a givenAny Batfamily character has like a built in +10% likelihood
>>11895057If they do Wonder Woman Cheetah might be on the cards.
>>11895641It depends. They said getting a big Titans roster is a priority. If they reach the point where they're doing the Legion of Doom she could appear.
Did anyone Pre order Harley Quinn from GameStop? I haven't heard or seen anything about it since the pre order was announced. I don't shop at GameStop and my only preorder was an in store pick up for SMT V so I'm not familiar with how they handle preorders.
>>11895614jesus my eyeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOoNUunIiO4
>>11895752Yeah, it's intense, which is funny because the actual episodes are quite chill.
>>11895057Besides the ones mentioned, Mattel previously made:-Carrie Kelly Robin-Wonder Girl-Batwoman-Vixen-GL Jessica Cruz-SpoilerPlus live-action females from the DCEU and DCW-DCEU/DCW females-Mera-Supergirl-Dr. Psycho (BAF)-Katana-Gadot WW (various)-Hippolyta-Menalippe So with the ones listed, that's almost 20, not counting repaints or dupes (especially for movie figures, given how many HQs Mattel released for essentially 3 movies - given they only did two Mera's for three movies).I actually expect it will be better, because they should get to comic versions of characters like Zatanna and will likely be expected to do all the live action characters, even for people SpinMaster and McFarlane did for Superman 2025, like say Lex or Hawkgirl, although I doubt we get a 3 piece suit Lex.
>>11895924>SDCCThat reminds me that the information I took that from (figure real and Wikipedia) must be wrong since they did that San Diego CC LoSH exclusive, which included Saturn Girl, which made me realized I forgot to look at the other line, so there are actually at least another six females, including Donna, Star Sapphire, and others, plus repaints, etc, etc.
>>11895790>I doubt we get a 3 piece suit LexThe line is being run by the same guy who runs the WWE line which is full of dudes in suits. That's where a bunch of Lex customs come from!
>>11895951Only retards buy wrestling toys.
>>11895990What's wrong with wrestling toys?
It sucks that we never got figures for Green Lantern The Animated Series, but if you grab the Nu52 Green Lantern figure that uses the Batman Brave and The Bold body, it's actually a pretty close stand-in.

One thing I don't miss about DC Gen is just the lack of awareness of the people trying to so hard to troll here. Like bitch, you know you are talking about toys and cartoons right? Why are you so desperate to politicize shit, is that your troll angle? Like if I talk about being black pilled that'll show these faggots? The fuck man, it's just retarded. I'll spit out a few old buzz words that have no meaning anymore to prove my cartoon is better? Aren't you a grown ass man?
>>11896175That's 4chan in general nowadays. You always had retarded trolls, but ever since 2016 you have poltards drowning out conversation by throwing around culture war bullshit buzzwords because everything sucks and you're retarded for liking things.It's no wonder the drawfags and writefags have mostly left. No one engages with any content or conversation any more, they just try to score points.
>>11896179It's gotten worse since Covid. Giving Indians internet access was such a mistake.

Plastic man has multiple large accessories. Sinestro has a lantern.McFarlane once again perplexes.
>>11896407it's hilarious the guardian was a 50 year old liberal white woman but I don't think the people making the show understood or intended for that to be funny
McFarlane just wiped their site of all historical line info from the 90s, 00s, maybe some 10s too. Hope you had all the high res pics of their old stuff you wanted coz you wont be getting them back
>>11896339Why am i not surprised that you constantly say that in ur head
Tonight
>>11896440I really liked it
>>11896440He is the terror that flaps in the night
>>11896440I read the comic and felt it dragged on a bit too much. Kind of overrated with some good parts. I assume the movie will be more condensed and thus perhaps a bit better but they could make bizarre choices that ruin it
>>11896440Oh shit, It got a physical release? I kinda hid news about it to avoid any sort of spoilers, even though I own the damn books it's based on. >>11896462The few clips I've seen look fairly faithful, they got Kelly Jones to help work on the film and he seems to like it. I'm betting they just cut out some of mental strain some issues of the comics focused on.
>>11896336I'm mostly ambivalent to this cross-over because they used the Nu52 designs for Batman and Superman (seriously why not use the classic everygreen designs?), but I really want that Lex, but all that is on shelves where I live is WW and Amy. I might pick up the ShadowBat and Batmobile set.Also why does Jakks keep making Robotnik/Eggman tiny? He's supposed to be normal human sized.
>>11896488For this line, I'd imagine it's about cost and consistency. Each pack has a big one and a small one and the sonic charactersare the small ones.
>>11896440I wish they'd stop releasing these things as multi-part films. The Crisis On Infinite Earths trilogy sucked because they changed a bunch of shit and then put all the interesting stuff in the first part. Parts 2 and 3 are just kinda dull.
>>11896428ITS HASNT EVEN BEGUN TO BE OVER
>>11896520Fuck off faggot
Now he’s samefagging his thread again
>>11894108>>11895299>>11895614their "chase" batmobile seems to suffer the same fate as todds original keatonmobile with the mismatched canopy colors
>>11896568It seems more consistent on the retail copies. Also in the picture you posted it looks like the matte on the roof extends down the back a little bit. Maybe they added that as a way to make it easier to move the canopy and then realised the two finishes looked like shit so they just did it over the whole vehicle?I really wish I could be a fly on the wall during the development of toys because I'm sure the iterative problem solving is probably fascinating.
Do we prefer Superman with or without long hair?
>>11896459So people won't notice how bad their new shit is compared to the old stuff.
>>11896667Why is the right a sharper sculpt?
>>11896712its the original sculpt while the left one is a Frankenstein of whatever they had that fit, lots of the later kenner jla stuff were basically abominations, check out how bad the last batman is here with the B&R arms
>>11896712The one on the right was the original Total Justice release produced by Kenner, the one on the left was from a later general JLA line produced under Hasbro. The photo probably makes it look softer than it is. In person the sculpt is just as sharp, though the paint is thicker and the plastic is more matte.
>>11896488Macy's Toys R Us has that Lex, for MSRP. So does GameStop. Otherwise, BBTS is overcharging for it as is Bezos and Walmart.You're right, but the figures I got from Target were on sale so I figured I might as well get the entire set. I don't really want a Saffy or Victor - but I own them. I most likely will never display them 90% of the time, unless Jakks Pacific are going to add say a Roy and Dick but I think 3 waves is it.
>>11896528>>11896520>sad lonely attention whore be sad
He spammed total justice to get us to the bump limit so the thread would get buried. Still not migrating you fucking faggot.
>>11896828Chill out, dude, I posted >>11896667 to try and promote discussion of something other than VF's sperg faggotry. I took the photo myself of MY toys, and I didn't even notice the bump limit because this is /toy/ and the bump limit doesn't count for shit, this thread will be up for a week at least, image count is only at 76 which is like half the maximum.
>>11896462>>11896466Not that anon but spoilers:I wasn't too keen on how they changed Bane's motivations to justify his vendetta against Batman in a more sympathetic light by having him idolize Thomas Wayne. I always enjoyed how his original motivation in the comics felt more abstract with him having a vision of his future self telling him to conquer his fears which is visualized by a nightmarish bat so he draws that connection Batman later on in his adulthood. Also tweaks like him killing a pedo in prison to make him seem more justified in his killing, while in the comic the guy was more accommodating by trying to recruit him as his lackey but Bane ends up killing him out of pride of becoming his own man led by no one. As if Bane being born in prison to serve his father's sentencing wasn't already enough, it's like modern writers can't write likable villains without giving them a sympathetic backstory.
>>11896843I actually own the Superman Blue and Red Total Justice figures and will likely sell them for a fair price the first chance I get off my ass and make a listing. I'm sure they will take forever to sell, even if I listed them for $0.99 each plus fair shipping, given what postage is. However, the Kon-El Superboy is fun and I'll likely keep him, but have no interest or desire (or nostalgia goggles for these).As for your question >>11896667, as a Supes fan, I prefer the short hair. The mullet in action figures or in comic art was also something I am not nostalgic for. I don't think anyone needs to have short hair, Dick is sometimes drawn with longer than his Robin length hair, likewise other characters - Garth is a perfect example, I think it depends on a lot of things. I do also, for example, prefer shorter hair Arthur Curry. >plus have a picture to get us to the image limit.
>>11896724The cape looking like wings is definitely a choice >>11896491They actually released the sonic characters as 5 inches as well, in the DC deco. They did vehicles as well - which I thought about when they were on clearance at Walmart but the paint just looked way too cartoon to work with actual action figures.Maybe something like the Animated Series - but I don't collect those
>>11896246
>>11897159I know the near gun is the Frankenstein one, what's the far weapon?
Does anyone own this? If so:Mind sticking any action figure (or reposting an image) of one on the actual motorcycle?Thanks, in advance.>>11896843>image count
>>11897030kenner were really pushing for the wings for some reason down the line, this dude looks like he came straight of of soul reaver
>>11897230>kenner were really pushing for the wings for some reason down the lineI'm sure they asked a room full of kids and enough of them said "wings are cool"
>>11897185I'm also interested in this. These bikes are cheap and could make for some fun set ups.
There was a livestream with reveals and nobody cares lol
>>11897369saw bits of it didnt look like anything we havent known about
Well hello beautiful
>>11897230I think Kenner were just enjoying being able to get really crazy with the sculpts because the general industry consensus was that sculpts needed to be simple so they wouldn't fail during the moulding process, but they ended up realising that you could go way further than originally thought.Also it was the 90s where everything was EXTREME.>>11897185>image countAre you purposely trying to bump the image count just to hit limit?
ULTRA ARTICULATED
>>11897379its so blurry it could be anything
>>11897379Todd quickly moved on from that fig, even he knew it looked bad.
>>11897395>ONLY ATscalper exclusive
>>11897397I can't take my eye of WonderGirl's buldge, therefore I can't buy the figure. Why did they ever choose to make that Catwoman buck look like that?
>>11897419*off

>>11897393>11th hour GL waifusliterally my main avenue, but too little, too late

>>11897419Her and Catwoman can have a bulge-off
>>11897437>looks 40ah the good ole insomniac design philosophy
>>11897425I have the BTAS Joker, so I already have about 95% of that figure.Also using the Batman Forever Two-Face as a Lex Luthor was a good idea, but they couldn't have at least retooled the arm to remove the gun?

>>11897604Wait till Christmas!
>>11897605You are making a MEH joke but I would love a Hal in jeans and bomber jacket. And a Kyle with jeans and an in-universe comic book tee, with paint splatter, that came with an easel and other similar accessories.
>>11897456everyone not the batgod is a jobber to make the wanking of the batgod less obvious
>>11897830Dido on the civi Hal
Really, there's no reason not to give us figures in multi-pack versions that can be civilian versions of themselves, especially when those civilian designations are sometimes crucial or significant, like Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent. Do we need a civilian Damian Wayne? Nope. A civilian Barbara Gordon as Oracle, sure.A civilian Selina, or Lois, why not?Especially when some outfits, like Constantine, aren't 'uniforms.'

McFarlane's Blizzard line is in danger, they had to make all the drops today McFarlane Toy Store exclusive. They seem like they are going to lose a ton of revenue when they lose the DC license and these other IPs simply aren't big enough or successful enough to account for it.
>>11897982Good.
>>11897982he has a certain number of hardcore brand loyalist that were buying and posting about his video stuff at the containment subhaven't logged in in almost a month but just browsing from a web search and even their new sports action figures aren't being talked about and those don't look awful, in hand, on the pegs and are only $19 at Target so they should be selling. Target did shove them next to the wrestling figures and maybe people can't find them?
>>11897851See this is why toys should be more aimed at kids with playtime in mind, you can do changeable costumes. Or alternatively you do a playset, you could do a Wayne Manor/Batcave with one of those things where you put Bruce Wayne inside a thing and turn it around and then pull out Batman. Then you could just package a Bruce Wayne in with that. Same thing with Clark Kent and a Daily Planet. You could make it a deluxe set that has a couple levels and include Clark Kent, Perry White, and Jimmy Olsen (you could do Lois on her own because people will buy just a Lois to pair with Superman).
>>11898016Problem with sports figures is something mcfarlane is well aware of - people are local with their player selections largely. So you can have some players pegwarm so hard you couldn't give them away in some cities. Why he wants to go back to that kind of dangerous business model when he wont even make enough DC figures to fulfill demand is rather bizarre.
>>11898041They are also 6 inch, and very basic.At one store, I hit, one was already in the clearance section with a damaged card and a cracked/broken blister (someone has swiped the baseball bat off it), so it was half off.Sadly, his helmet is stuck on, the head is not easy to swap out, and neither are the shoes.It was pretty much a waste of money, because I was thinking it might work as the bottom part of some civilian NPC, once I swapped the shoes and touched up the belt with a Gundam marker or paint.
>>11898209forgot picture
>>11898212>>11898209They really manage to make the worst looking 6in figures on the market. Really, I can see why McFarlane initially wanted to do characters that are high detail in their sculpt, because the detail hides how bad a basic body looks with their articulation/engineering scheme. And going 7in allows for greater visible detail, although I think it would've generally worked still in 6.When you add a bunch of detail the problems don't show up as harshly.
>>11898278>going 7in allows for greater visible detailYeah, even the Todd Cultists here and on his containment board have finally agreed on this point, versus the argument that it's the superior scale. It probably never helped that argument that even claiming they are all 7" was never true and that within McFarlane's own stuff, it's not compatible as far as scales go.I bought a cheap lot of used, mostly McFarlane that included the Harry Potter they made, it was only $5 and missing the best part, the translucent stag/deer; The hands and arm pieces fall and the sculpture and detail look like shit, and jeez louise, if I was a representative for Radcliffe, I would sue over the face sculpt. The Ron new, with his translucent dog, is only $13 so I picked one up as another cheap 7" scale civilian but his face also looks like shit.The employees at McFarlane can add all the details their hearts desire and the budget allows but it doesn't make up for all the bad choices and decisions they make, like the numerous released unfortunate head sculpts across ALL lines, not just DCMV.
>>11898017"Adult" collectors do buy "playsets" - they just call them dioramas and pay even more for them. >LoisExcept for the DC Direct silver age super powered version, and the All Star Superwoman, which is actually part of a wave, Lois has almost always been sold in a set, unless you want to pretend the Mego adjacent version counts. Jimmy and Perry probably were never popular enough except for hard core fans for people to be interested, but a Teri Hatcher figure would have sold then and will sell now. One of Erica Durrance, ditto. Sadly anything else from live action is easily mogged by animation or comic book versions.A well sculpted Superwoman figure would sell well. A two pack with a civilian identity would just be the Mattel Creations or Signature Collection or whatever they are going to call their premium exclusives.
>>11898389>"Adult" collectors do buy "playsets" - they just call them dioramas and pay even more for them.Well that's the point, I'm okay with toys being called toys, especially if that means that companies aren't using the "adult collectable" or "premium" labels to artificially bloat the price like "here's half a hallway and a door, that'll be 80 bucks!"Mattel at least have been good with shit like Castle Grayskull (even if the last movie one was pretty weak). As for Lois, I think she sits right on the cusp of being a popular/integral enough character that you could put her on her own card and people would buy her, but if you want to hedge your bet you could do a playset with a Lex Luthor or something where he has her hostage. You could even do both, Lois in a purple suit on the single card and a light blue suit for the playset and it's just the same figure in a different colour. >a Teri Hatcher figure would have sold then and will sell now. I'd be first in line, Teri Hatcher is the best live-action Lois, hands down.
>Crimson Cockhead is using the fake threadBirds of a feather...
>>11898545I probably wasn't clear enough. I think a Superwoman Lois Lane and a civilian reporter Lois Lane two pack would sell.You are correct - Lois is strong enough to sell on her own, DC already knows that, they did one of those high end porcelain Bombshell's statues of her, and while it's 'sexy' - it's full clothed sexy, not at all as suggestive as even the Mera or others.I also think two packs would be the way to release civilians, e.g. a Bruce Wayne/Batman, a Barry Allen/Flash. A Hal in jeans and a bomber jacker, with one in the domino masked Green Lantern uniform, etc.Mattel did this, as someone pointed out a thread r two back, with that Alfred figure that came with extra heads. There's all sorts of way to do it, but a two-pack is one option.
>>11898041he’s been making sports figures nonstop for over 25 years. it’s not a losing venture for him at all. the real “problem” with the recent ones is that the articulation model sucks, and he started with guys most people hate, like Mutthomes.
>>11898598>There's all sorts of way to do it, but a two-pack is one option.Two-packs are definitely an option, and for a lot of characters it does make sense, but personally I'm burnt out on multipacks because of Hasbro's bullshit where they keep putting characters I want in over-priced two packs with characters I don't want.
>>11898615Pretty sure he did stop for awhile. There definitely were not for awhile until the more recent 2020s crop of statues and figures came out
I’m done buying traditional Bane’s. I want the Batman now both venomed and unvenomed.
>>11898695hope you enjoy NOTHING
>>11898700I don’t think it’s far fetched we’ll get figures based off of a 22 year old show in the collector line. I don’t expect them to be 1:1 stylized more of whatever the house style is.
>>11898701Yup perfect time to bring these designs back out just like 2003 turtles.
>>11898615Some idiots are claiming that they are selling well and I agree that locally they are, like Curry in the Bay Area but unless you have someone with nationwide appeal, like say Babe Ruth probably had, it's not the money winner people think >>11898667I agree it's bullshit. I wanted the Bruce Banner body for a civilian lab cost scientist and a possible nerd peter parker head but you are stuck with a gray hulk. I'd like the future foundation spidey without necessarily getting reed but you're stuck or paying scalpers.But todd pulled the same shit with his two packs except he stuffed in 22POA "ultra articulation" mega statues. I'm not exactly suggesting that (although the man bat boxed set suggests were getting that whether you and I like it or not).
