do something about this faggots spam and blatant trolling

Too bad the symbol is too big and the grey is too dark. Otherwise it would be a perfect Batman.

>>11465738

>>11465738
grey isnt dark enough actually source material basically is black

>>11466207
fug wrong image but still basically the same color

>>11466210
also no mans land doesnt have trunks at all but im not complaining i prefer the trunks.

>>11466207
never expect mcfarlane toys to follow source material. im not even sure why they advertise the source, just say "batman #829" or "superman #739"

You guys think the SHF gods will grace us with some comic figs, or are we just going to continually get butt fucked by marvel?

i am gay and imagine marvel's spider man fucking my hairy ass while i cry in the digital isle at walmart

>>11466275
It's the new hotness from McFarlane Toys-- the Digital Aisle is a place where you can buy all your new NFT figures for all your fake figure needs. Because the way McFarlane is raising the prices like mad, from 20, to 23, to 25, to 30 for CEs, to 35 for CEs, to 70 for ELITE EDITION no one will be able to afford real figures anymore.

>>11466308
>>11466310
>>11466313

>>11466318
Oh and by $25 and $35 and $70 I mean if you buy them within the first 5 minutes they go up on preorder before they sell out. Because after that they will go to $55+, $75+ or $120+ on ebay.

>>11466308
I have both Blue and Black Hush Batmen. I already have the regular release of this, may as well get this too. Fuck he looks good.

>>11466331
I don't get it...why buy so many of the same figure? What added enjoyment will another copy bring?

>>11466342
>being too poor to afford a batman toy

>>11466346
I have a lot of Batman toys. But why duplicates?

>>11466322
thats the good shit

>>11466342
There is no added joy quite the opposite. I'm spending most of the time stressing over completing lines and getting all the variants. I spend little to no time with each new figures because I'm constantly on the hunt to, again, complete a line or find a variant. I must...consooooom.

>>11466313

>>11466350
>how to admit your full of it without saying it

>>11466358
booooo this one sucks

>>11466350
DC is dying. In about ten years everything will go public domain so WB won't want to touch something they don't legally 100% own, plus this new cinematic universe looks like ass and is going to bomb, discouraging them from rebooting it again.
They haven't published their monthly sales in years because they're so low DC is being kept alive by WB so they can keep churning out movies, but the movies aren't making money anymore so it's only a matter of time until they turn off the life support.
If you see a DC toy you want you need to close on it immediately. If you think things are ridiculous now >>11466324 wait another ten years.

>>11466358
I actually do like the hush head better on this

>>11466364
go to the bathroom i can smell you

>>11466359
I seriously do want to know why buy duplicates? Is it in case one breaks? Is it to resell?

>>11466368
No you dont you just want to cry about dhunter for the 80th time

>>11466365

>>11466364
The first Mickey cartoon just went public domain. Nothing changed. Because only the original version of the character actually did, and no one gives a fuck about the original version of the character, made in the 1930s or whatever anymore. No one cares about blue/purple gloves Batman with the weird cowl. They want 1960s Batman AT THE EARLIEST. The original doesn't have any of the evolutions made over the past 90+ years. And they still cannot use the name "Batman" due to trademark.

>>11466368
The cool thing about being an adult with disposable income is I can buy things I want, not just the packets or ramen needed to get through the rest of the month until next benefits day.

>>11466372
dhunter type collectors mostly only go after domestic toys as far as I know. This guy is talking about buying duplicates of a mafex.

>>11466378
If someone made a Superman movie that jettisoned all the excess garbage added to him since the 1940's I'd love it.
Imagine, an actual movie about Superman that isn't a two hour commercial for other characters the studio wants to develop into solo movies.

>>11466378
I’ll just use ai to tell the story of a young Bruce Wayne that saw his parents violently raped and murdered in front of him. Nightmares of his mother getting a pearl necklace haunt him every night. To own his trauma he becomes the rapeman.

>>11466388
That sounds like a very 2025 story to tell. Especially the "To own his trauma " part.

>>11466342
They're not the same figure. They have different color schemes. I have the blue Hush Batman hanging out with my Bat Family, Black Hush hanging out with my Justice League, and Blue Dark Crusader fighting some villains. Black Crusader Batman is going to go with my Batmobile display. Not sure why me owning several different versions of a figure is so bothersome to you.

>>11466350
>Duplicates
Different color schemes that go on different shelves. Really not that hard to understand.

>>11466388
You need to stop making everything about sex. It's really weird.

>>11466429
You guys get really bothered by people being able to afford more than Hot Pockets and Ramen Noodles don't you?

Is anyone excited for the Batman Returns wave? Supposedly coming out in Oct

>>11466811
im hyped af but i know im not going to get them before the scalpers do

>>11466811
Only 35, no 37--no 40, no 45-- no 50-- no 60 dollars each

>>11466811

>>11466844
Are you talking about that one building with a HVAC problem that's gonna bring down the whole company?!?

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?

Stuff gets rendered on a computer (could be done anywhere), emailed to the China factory, boated to the US and everybody gets their expensive plastic and cardboard.

insider here todd hit israel with 44 tomahawk missles

>>11466854
No, he's talking about the feds closing McFarlane HQ to find out why Todd's and only Todd's shipments go missing.

>>11466854
The problem is, they don't have access to those computers since they're in a hazardous building no one can go inside of. It's over.

>>11466844
>>11466890
Foolish if they can't access it remotely

Anyway, the Returns figures are probably already in production and will be out in Oct according to my source in Hong Kong

>>11466904
johns dong*

>>11466904
If Insider Anon is telling the truth, it sounds like Todd kind of runs things by the seat of his pants, so it wouldn't be that unsurprising to find out they don't have remote access.

Can you guys please stop entertaining these laughable fantasies about a toy company. If you remember 2021, McFarlane Toys did not suddenly stop production when offices had to close. Basically every office has RDP and VPN capabilities, including McFarlane. If you even watched their streams you'd know some of their people don't even work in Arizona. I know you're bored and want to make up some funny shit to laugh about, but at least make it plausible.

>>11466914
There servers can't function and needed to be powered down since they couldn't keep their local data center cooled.

>>11466922
So now the goalpost is moved I see. I guess the fact they're still putting up previews of figures and doing preorder dates like that Purse Owner Elite Edition must be some pics they grabbed at the last second, eh, anon?

>>11466914
It's easy cause we can all point fingers at the head of the operations (Todd himself).

We can't do that with Hasbro cause they have these pronoun-announcing randos that only present the toy and have nothing to do with the toy making process.

I'll give the company props for making toys at maximum velocity. They might not be the quality we want but they've covered a lot of ground in a short time.

If Todd has the Star Wars license he'd have covered the 9 movies and spin offs in 5 years and have given us mountains of plastic to play with.

>>11466854
>taking bait
you’re a fucking moron.

I'm amazed Walmarts would even stock such ridiculously high priced, low quality toys. I mean low quality sure, but I don't imagine Walmart clientele to be able to pay $35 for a toy.

>>11466914
Their offices are closed until the investigation is finished.

>Nicholson Joker never ever
>Reynolds Green Lantern never ever
>Nic Cage Superman never ever
>Zatanna never ever

Insider anon was cruel for teasing us with those leaks when there's no way they can be approved until MFT offices are allowed to reopen.

>>11466990
>Reynolds Green Lantern never ever
oh gee what a shame

>>11466942
>It's easy cause we can all point fingers at the head of the operations (Todd himself).

>>11467014

Nobody

>>11466975
Can you hook me up with a Superman Robot?
None in my area.
Hit me up in the BST thread!

>>11467049
>Who can you name from Hasbro?
CEO Chris Cocks. I only can remember his name because I want to see the headline "Hasbro destroyed by Cocks."

>>11467054
Hasbro is going to live longer than McFarlane Toys.

>>11467049
>Who can you name from Hasbro?
if i gave a shit about them, i would be able to name more than the ceo and the ML hype team, but i don't care and don't bother. i do keep track of various sculptors for ML because i actually pay attention to my hobby and don't assume the owner of the company is micro managing every aspect like a brain dead moron

What happened to all those Jokers, Todd?

>>11466207
That's not Knightfall though, that's post-Troika.

>>11467176
Those stolen figures were just a ruse for todds human trafficking buisness, there was never a trailer full of toys stolen. It was a trailer full of people and they were carried across the great lands of america dropping families off at random truck stops and shoneys.

Today’s the day dc general.

>>11467707
Is that your wife's boyfriend?

I saw the superman movie display at walmart, the robot and ultraman look decent. Ultraman is basically commando snake eyes,
saw that chase of mr terrific but i honestly like the standard version. The movie mr terrific looked good enough so maybe ill grab one later. So im just saying it was nice to just not only find multiverse on shelves but have a few damn options for figures.

>>11468130
k

>>11468130
35 dollars for a figure and 6 hands doesn't look decent.

>>11468147
pooface figs are always poo

>>11468130
Nice to see toys come out simultaneously with a movie's release!!
Minecraft and Superman for the win!

>>11468252
Can someone explain at the bottom there why one Ultraman is gold label and the other is not? They look the same. What is going on here?

>>11468278
He probably made a couple thousand then WB told him to knock that shit off so Todd had to take it off the packaging for the rest of the production run.

>>11468278
Todd realized putting "gold label" in product descriptions is how toy bandits are able to locate and steal his shipments

>>11468278
One is a "Battle damaged" variant

>>11468283
>>11468286
Stop trolling, go to bed

>>11468298
Correct answer
However, no one will buy either cause we'll find out at the end of the movie that there's Doomsday/SupermanClone/Bizarro underneath and we'll get a new unmasked series 2 figure later on

>>11465738
Does this have a date yet?

>>11468252
I was really hoping that Guy Gardner would peg warm and I'd be able to get him for cheap but I guess Mcfarlanes don't peg warm anymore

>>11468329
Todd said a few months ago that he only makes about 10-15,000 of every figure, which is about a third of what Hasbro makes for the average Star Wars character. Plus Hasbro will reprint figures in their Archive line when they want to make money so anyone who buys Star Wars knows to just wait until their favorite character cycles around again. Todd makes a figure once and fuck you if your store didn't order one.

>>11468323
Nothing has street dates anymore. He's just spamming orders to factories and putting them on shelves as soon as he can. Might be tomorrow, might be next month.
For what it's worth, the furthest preorders are set to ship around August, so the last waves should be announced by October if he only has two months of wiggle room.

>>11468385
Fuck that's really annoying. This Batman and Mister Miracle are the only 2 figures I want. I really hope I can get a preorder for them somehow.

>>11468392
You know you won't, and every time you post about wishing you could find them some fag is going to repost a picture from reddit of a full shelf of them in LA.

>>11468385
>Todd said a few months ago that he only makes about 10-15,000 of every figure
So he only makes enough to sell two to every walmart and Target in America?
There's ~5,000 Walmarts and ~2,000 Targets in Amerca.
Nevermind Amazon, Gamestop, Best Buy, and indie stores like BBTS sell McFarlanes lines too.

You're that retarded ESL who got confused about McFarlane talking about how many GOLD and/or PLATINUM figures are made.

>which is about a third of what Hasbro makes for the average Star Wars character.
LMAO
Holy fucking third worlder who has no idea how many Americans live in America, muchless how many toys are sold.

Mass market toys are sold in the hundreds of thousands to tens of millions. Even smaller toy companies like Mezco sell ~50,000 units per figure and their shit is mostly found in specialty shops.

just so you know, most SDCC exclusives get 5000-15,000 units made. This is only for a single convention.

>>11468395
>making up imaginary numbers when Todd himself has said how many figures he orders from factories
Fuck off, retard.

>>11468397
>imaginary numbers
>physical Targets and Walmarts are imaginary
>implying licenses aren't worth hundreds of millions of dollars
>implying a toy company would ever afford paying hundreds of millions of dollars only selling 15k of every figure, muchless make a profit to continue their business
ESLs need to stop eating all the plastics first world countries ship to them in those garbage barges

Why is DC Gen the angriest general on this board?

>>11468488
You think they'd be happy since all their toys are on clearance all the time.

>>11468395
>>11468401
Most walmarts near me don't even stock dcmv even in electronics, so i don't know why you're assuming every walmart gets every figure. Most Targets near me don't stock anything but gold labels anymore

>>11468596
So even if half of all Walmarts and Targets don't carry DC figures anymore, that's still means McFarlane is only producing enough to sell 4 units of every figure they make to these two retailers
If we look at >>11468252 's image, there's 3-5 more figures behind the ones you can see. Which also means that that's only enough stock to only go to 1500 stores (1/3rd of all Walmarts), if they followed planograms (how stores manage to look nearly identical across an entire country and what stock they're supposed to carry) like retail stores do.

And you still need to ignore the fact that Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, BBTS, and hundreds/thousands other toy shops still exist and all carry stock, which would be impossible if McFarlane only made 10-15k.

Nevermind that licenses still cost hundreds of millions of dollars, which would be impossible to ever pay back if they 're making only 15k. Absolutely ridiculous to say that 15k is 1/3rd of what Star Wars figures sell, when the fact is that Hasbro was paying a MINIMUM of $500,000,000 in royalties to Lucas. https://www.awn.com/news/hasbro-and-lucas-extend-star-wars-license-through-2018

Stop arguing like a retarded ESL. I bet you don't even know numbers exist after 999,999.

Oh, and since you're an ESL, i guess you wouldnt know what a royalty is: for every unit that's sold, the owner gets a small percentage. Could be anywhere from 1%-20%, but that's from what Hasbro sells at wholesale prices. So at most, Hasbro gets half of what Walmart sells a figure at and then Lucas/Marvel/etc gets like 25¢ per unit sold. So each year, tthey'd need to sell... how many $5 figures to reach MINIMUM sales? Dozens and dozens of millions, not 45k(x5 characters per case). And Hasbro makes billions of dollars in profits every year too, so they're selling way more than just what they owe to Disney/Marvel/Lucas.

>>11468642
Nobody is reading all that shit faggot

>>11468642
You seem to think everyone arguing with you is the same person.

Movie figures are always made in greater abundance than comic ones so its not surprising there's a lot of those.

>>11468642
All those words just to be debunked by the Todd himself. I wonder why you're like this subjectanon. You always try to come of as this know it all kind of person, which no one likes, but often times are just outright wrong, making you look like a dummy.

Too good of a a price to turn down.

I still dont get why liefeld is on such a high horse, he isnt a great comic artist and is quite awful at wrìting . I re read my ypungblood books a few years back and it was just a dis jointed mess of words and splash pages. I thought new mutants and xforce were decent though even if i dont get the hype some have for those books.

Target finally put up their Superman endcap. There were a bunch of Supermen with and without the poop smears. Was kinda tempted to get the one without. I held off though, they should be there for a bit, there was a bunch of them.

>>11468923
But no Cyborg Supermen, because those are Target manager exclusives.

Presented without comment.

>>11469170
Nope, not a one.

>>11468656
>ESL who doesn't understand English not understanding McFarlane was referring to only making 10k-15k of Gold/Platinum figures, which are supposed to be produced in limited numbers
sure is third worlder who doesn't realize other countries are bigger than his and make a shit ton more money

>>11468651
So there's multiple third worlders infesting this thread, who don't realize how many WAlmarts there are in the US? Pretty disgusting. Again, there's so many Walmarts and Targets in the US that these two chain stores alone would account for 100% of sales IF each store only carried a SINGLE case of figures (which contain doubles of figures).
So this alone instantly proves that third worlder is wrong, because there's thousands of videos and photos of walmarts/targets carrying more than just a single case worth of figures on their shelves.

I miss the internet from before 2015, because 99% of websites were first worlders who actually had an education.

pic isn't possible according to third worlders, since this is Macys, which have around 500 stores in the US alone and this is clearly more than two cases worth of toys. The fact you don't know how many PHYSICAL retail stores that carry these figures proves you guys are third worlders.

>>11469224
Macy's Toys-R-Us section only gets crap no one else wants as evidenced by that pic. I bet you count figures in Ross and Ollie's as entirely new figures to support your delusion on the amount of McFarlanes produced.

>>11469238
Again, you're proving you're a third worlder.
If you actually lived in a country that had a Macys, you'd know they only carry new shit. A very limited amount of new shit too that has to sell a lot, like movie toys. That photo is about a year old, so of course it has old stock from a year ago.

And Ross/Ollies only order CASES too. So they're not receiving anything from Walmart/Targets that were already on the shelves (and according to your logic, only a single case worth of toys). But since you're an uneducated third worlder, you wouldn't know how discount stores like Ross/Ollies operate.
FYI they receive stock from distributors who are dumping overstock sitting in warehouses.

Stop proving me right in everything, retard.

pic of what Macy's section currently has, which are current toys, unlike Ross/Ollies.

>>11469224
who tf goes to macys
are you a woman

>>11469224
to be fair to our ESLAnon, Macy's has not, since about last summer, being carrying many McFarts. I was getting some of my Super Powers there, but they stopped selling those, both on-line and in stores, circa the GL waves with John, both Sinestro and Hal. I don't remember seeing any movie products past the Aquaman and Flash and they had a limited set of both of those, unlike the RPatz Bats movie, where they even sold the Spin Master stuff and certainly had the entire set of crap. But they haven't had any new maxi-figs in about a year (and I'm speaking for West Coast stores, in SoCal but even my holiday visit to the NorCal and Portland/Seattle market stores). I otherwise do agree with you, anon lacks understanding of what Ross or Ollies (or Bulington, Big Lots, etc.) would sell and carry and when, etc.

But Toys R Us really hasn't been a viable option for McFarts of late and even Target has not as well, as I've yet to see the Red Cyborg or Strange Lives Superman (although it was and still is REALLY easy to find and buy the New 52 Target Exclusive) and I didn't want so didn't buy the Battle Damage Movie Supes but it's also fairly easy to find.

Macy's has good prices on men's clothes, son. And not everyone still lives with Mommy, in the basement, so they do need to buy things like sauce pans and skillets.
I realize you can only afford Old Navy and thrift stores, but one day you'll get a job that isn't a fast food fryer, and you'll need big boy clothes that aren't threadbare, so you'll learn.

>And Ross/Ollies only order CASES too. So they're not receiving anything from Walmart/Targets that were already on the shelves
I do not believe this one bit. Otherwise Target/Walmart/etc would still have Eternals figures to this day.

>>11469263
>And Ross/Ollies only order CASES too. So they're not receiving anything from Walmart/Targets that were already on the shelves
This is outright incorrect. What even makes you think this? Do you think they just get cases of figures two years later than everyone else?

>>11469286
>Buying pots and pans at Macy's
You're getting overcharged for the very same brands you can get at fucking Costco lmao. Also I hope you're getting stainless steel and not that

>>11469303
If we take the /toy/ perspective on buying overpriced anything, the response by the reckless spenders will always be "What are you, poor?!" They literally do not care if they are overpaying, they are consuming machines, born only to buy, regardless of price.

>>11469305

Target/Walmart destroy overstock that couldn't sell even when clearanced off. There used to be dumpster diver threads on on various boards, where they'd find piles crushed star wars/thunderbirds/tmnt/transformer toys in their dumpsters
Destroying/dumping stock is a common practice and there's no serious loss if they threw away thousands of toys every month, because that's a drop in the bucket compared to what they actually sell and how valuable space is.

SOMETIMES they'll ship it out to local second hand merch stores, where they also carry RETURNS/defective products. This is pretty rare though. I've lived in populated areas and the only time I ever saw one was when those Amazon return shops got popular.

The fact that places like ollies doesn't toss their shit away is only because they're already bottom of the barrel in terms of making money and have the space for it.

Seriously, the third worlders have no idea of how much shit Target/Walmart order and how fast they need to sell that shit. The fact that 1/3rd of my local Walmarts no longer carry DC and GI Joe toys shows how little they care to sell toys if people are only going to buy a single case worth of toys. Stores basically need to sell 5 cases worth of toys to even be worthwhile to stock it. For an entire chain, that's hundreds of thousands worth of figures every couple of months, if stores only ordered the bare minimum.

>>11469281
You sound like a fag who's never gone toy hunting before. A real man follows the woolly mammoth into female fashion stores if it means a successful hunt.
and yes, macys has good prices on quality mens clothing too. but nordstorms has better stuff, especially shoe selection.

>>11469324
Yes

>>11469312
Yeah bro, with all the people I've had tell me I'm poor here for not paying almost $100 for McFarlanes and MLs on ebay, I don't think it helps contribute to a situation where I don't see them all as whales.

>>11469330
damn. welp maybe ill try tinfoil or something

>>11469333
No one is telling you to spend $100 on a <cF or a ML. Stop blowing things out of proportion. Good Lord. What a baby.

I'm going to make it my mission to become an elected representative and sponsor a bill that makes this illegal, and force major retailers to donate toys they can't sell to the poor, even though it would cost them more money than throwing it out would.

>>11469336
No one is telling you to do that you little sperg. You are making , mountains out of molehills all so you can have an excuse to be perpetually pissed off all the time.

They still toss shit away, but they started putting locks on the gates/bins, so people can't into their garbage.

I think in more serious hobotowns, they keep the trash inside and someone comes to haul it away.
Security is more active too now.

This is why the dumpster diving threads have died.

>>11469286
Macys was still carrying McFarlane DC stuff up until last year sometime. I think it all depends on how badly something shelf warmed.
I remember them not carrying Marvel Legends for a while, not even a space for them, thanks to some crappy XMEn wave, but another Macys had newer stuff.

Also, looking it up, it's sad that there's only 450 Macys left in the US. That's almost 2x fewer than ToysRUs had in 2018 when they finally closed down.
It's insane that TRU even closed down, given how much money they actually made from selling toys. Over 10 billion dollars in revenue every year, yet they still couldn't pay their debt that Bain laid on them. The retards who owned TRU are even bigger retards than the third worlders in this thread, because it's a classic example of a golden goose that got killed.

>>11469641
Well, what do you expect when McFarlane Toys headquarters is shut down indefinitely while the feds comb through his computers and backrooms for missing Joker toys. If I worked for MFT and might be losing my comfy job making toys I'd have a hissy fit, too.
If only Todd made more than 10,000 figures per wave he'd have enough money to not be desperate enough to steal one of his own trailers.

And yeah, it could be better.

>>11469945
TRU died for the same reason Red Lobster is being killed off and for the same reason 99 Cents Only, K-Mart, Sears and many others are dead and Big Lots is dying and so many other company's face death. Big Hedge Funds and similar entities that don't actually make anything or sell services or anything like that, but make their money by 'managing' other business buy a profitable company (many of these companies were going concerns), sell off their real estate assets, make the franchises sign new, often more expensive leases, and otherwise strip-mine the companies for ways to leverage cash, then walk away, leaving the company as a money-losing shell for the idiots who kept the stocks, which often become worthless penny stocks.

Yes, some companies made bad choices and bad decisions or had bad management, but those companies also owned profitable or money making real estate (Sears, K-Mart), or had a good cash flow (TRU) that could be strip-mined without investing any cash back into the business.

>>11470225
Its totally random dude, ive tried 3 times on pg both in person and shipping and no pg. If you have the time then check in person, otherwise theres ebay or just not getting a figure.

>>11470316

Sorry, its hot and my thinking box is on the fritz

I don't believe that target or walmart throw out toys. If they did you would see a lot more toys hit 4 or 5 or 6 dollar sales. But they rarely ever do. Usually the bottom is 9 or 10. Because that is where ollies prices begin

>>11470346

Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for the Man of the Hour!
I found him on clearance at Target. Kinda saddening to me as one of Earth’s five unironic Hourman fans that he’s already on clearance, but it’s to be expected, realistically. Even most actual comic readers probably don’t care enough about Hourman to get a figure of him.
Very fortunate to me specifically, though, because I do unironically like Hourman and getting him for $12 is nice.
Also his cape makes him super fucking backheavy.

>>11470393
To be honest, I dont think Hourman is worth $12. That ugly yellow. The ugly knee cuts. The obvious difference between the painted yellow of the lower legs and the knees/upper legs. The inconsistent texturing. The huge hands. The ugly elbow cuts. The wrestling championship belt.

So many reasons not to buy. I'd buy him for fodder for 3 dollars, Target. But that's my final offer.

I think the addict angle is compelling. Especially that it’s the adrenaline more than the Miraclo. I like how regretful Rex is over his neglect of Wendi and Rick but that he just can’t help it. I like Rick being a cool older brother figure to Jakeem and how he was willing to take his father’s place with Extant. I like Matthew’s arc of discovering what it means to be human and ultimately taking Rex’s place with Extant while Rex and Rick begin to bond by working on rebuilding him.

>doing basic math that proves its impossible for a toyline to only get 10,000-15,000 figures made when ~10k physical stores that carry the line exist
I hate how low /toy/'s collective IQ has become with all the third worlders that now come here.

I mean, it's one thing for third worlders to not understand how huge the US is, thus how massive the market is, but it's another thing to not even consider the fact that /toy/ would also make up a gigantic chunk of DC sales if only 15k figures were made.

When the boards still showed unique poster counters, we knew that the DC general had over 100 posters every thread.
That would mean /toy/ is responsible for 1% of all of McFarlane's DC toy sales. Any company that could get such a direct line to its customers would be placing ads like crazy if they knew that many buyers came here. Todd McFarlane himself would be posting here, instead of doing interviews with some video game channel with unknown number of toy buyers.

But apparently this basic common sense logic is some sort of high IQ overthought analysis... at least to third worlders.

pic of how Hasbro is paying a minimum of $80,000,000 just for two years of the Star WArs license. They'd need to sell nearly 7 million figures per year just to break even... if Hasbro kept all the money that Walmart sold them for. And if it cost nothing to produce the toys. And if it cost nothing to ship them. And if tariffs didn't exist (yes, they existed before 2025 too). The anon claiming McFarlane only makes 15k figures also believes that's a third of what Hasbro makes of the average STar Wars character. Proving he thinks the US is as tiny and poor as his poverty country, because he has no concept of a world beyond his tiny malnourished brain.

>>11470480
what the fuck is that coloring.

>>11470155
well is it? why does it have the emblem then

>>11470610
Todd has done interviews on channels with as low as 1.5k subs. an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=861gsZV1Y-I

He knows his audience is small now since he has seen the numbers dwindle from the DCMV highs in 2020-2022 and he has strategically went towards classic costumes to capture the core DC comic fan audience rather than normals with Death Metal or Last Knight on Earth.

I wouldn't doubt he used to be producing 60k+ of each figure back when all the figures hit clearance. But now? Very doubtful he's going near that high with regular comic figures. Maybe movie figures.

>>11470393
Thats a good deal, i paid full price and felt bummed once i got home and stared at the figure more. I only got really into the jsa after reading the johns stuff and then just grabbing whatever i could find for cheap over the years in dollar bins or flea markets etc. Regardless of how i feel over the hourman figure im glad i can pair him with mr terrific at least. Android hourman would be neat.

>>11470665
Android Hourman would definitely be super neat.

>>11470663
If you knew anything about mass market toys, walmart wouldn't order anything less than 100k. Just walmart. Per wave.

Nevermind licenses cost hundreds of millions of dollars if it's meant for the children's toy market. Even a license in decline like DC would still command that much money, because it's still popular.
This is why companies like Mattel and Hasbro make billions of dollars a year.
It's why TRU had a revenue of $11,000,000,000 every year. ToysRUs alone raked in $11 billion dollars per year and they weren't even the number 1 toy vendor back then.

Children's action figures aren't niche like third worlders believe, because the only knowledge they have about toys are their uncle's webshop that sells 100 figures a month or being shills for a Chinese toy company that makes 8k toys.

And no, there was no sudden decline in toy sales where sales were halved, muchless 100thed like the third world anon needs to believe, otherwise Hasbro and Mattel wouldn't have growing revenue and profits every single year since TRU's demise (until COVID. and COVID killing sales only led to a 3-8% decline).

BTW, 60k is what medium sized collector companies make. Figmas and NECA figures all sell in around the 50k range. It's a much smaller market than the children's toy aisle at mass market stores.
It's the reason why Walmart/Target sell NECA's stuff by consignment. NECA is literally giving stock away and paying Target for shelf space hidden behind the electronics section. NECA only makes money if stock is sold. So NECA only ships ~3 cases.
Versus the children's toys, where WAlmart/Target paid for a wave 6-8 months ago, 10-40 cases per store, most of which are stored in massive distribution warehouses because the pegs can only fit ~5 cases worth of toys and there's little storage in the actual store.

And yes, if Todd does interviews for tiny nobody youtubers, why wouldn't he personally be posting here if /toy/ made up a giant portion of his sales?

>>11470697
>mass market toys
That’s the thing tho Todd’s toys aren’t mass market they are collectibles

>>11470697
I love how this guy throws around tons of numbers like " 60k is what medium sized collector companies make. Figmas and NECA figures all sell in around the 50k range." and provides no sources

Plus people can blatantly go to their own walmarts and see Walmart doesn't get 5 cases of Cyborg Superman or Eradicator. Only reason it got so much of the figures in that pic is they were in the Superman Movie assortment and movies get pushed.

did anyone preorder hawkgirl off walmart? it's supposed to be delivered on July 8th but i checked the status today and it's "preparing" i wonder if it's going out sooner?

>>11470708
Nobody here buys toys

>>11470708
they're probably trying to ship early so the thieves can't get to it, but you just screwed that up and now you'll never get one.

>>11470738
Oh boy, Clunky Crotch

>>11470701
If it's on a front cap or the children's toy aisle, it's mass market. Walmarts and Targets aren't interested in carrying toys if they're only selling 2-5 figures per store. The shelf space alone is worth millions of dollars, hence McFarlane needing to pay tens of millions in penalty fees back when there were shipping problems during COVID and his stock wasn't getting into stores, leaving shelf space empty.

Yes, ten million dollars in penalty fees, just because shelves were empty for about a month.
The scale and cost of working with Walmart/Target must be destroying third worlder minds if they can't even wrap their heads around a giant property like STar Wars needing to sell 6 million figures every year just to break even.

And you're still ignoring the fact that licenses cost hundreds of millions of dollars. How would McFarlane ever afford that if they're selling less than 100k figures per wave?

>>11470704
I really can't provide sources because i personally heard it at conventions. Even if you don't believe me, NECA bought Loot Crate for $30 million dollars. How many figures do they need to sell to afford to pay $30 million for a company?
Even though they (probably) didn't pay cash for the company, they still needed to prove they could afford to pay back $30,000,000 by showing how much money they made every year or/and putting up collateral.
NECA also bought Hastings, a retail chain, for 23 million dollars and Wizkidz for ~$10m

Again, how many figures does a company like NECA need to sell if they can afford to buy these companies? Do note, NECA themselves sells their toys to thousands of stores at wholesale prices. So NECA only gets ~40% of what the MSRP is. And don't forget that toys cost money to be produced and shipped, plus licensing fees. So their profit margins on a $40 figure is 20% at most.
Can you do the math to work out how many figures they need to sell based on a generous 20% profit margin on $40 figures?

>>11470748
>If it's on a front cap or the children's toy aisle
NOPE. Shut up dumbass.

>>11470748
The Walmart Superman figure displays are in electronics, with the rest of the McFarlanes, not the toy aisle. I love it when the Man Who Knows Everything About Toys shows he doesn't actually know everything.

>>11470747
>A heckin gloobity clop of sloppy daddy cum drops in my flibby bibbi hole??!!?

Call an ambulance because there’s a rapist absolutely BTFO assholes in this thread

>>11470768
That's still a front facing shelf AND it's a cap too, which makes it extremely valuable space in a walmart/target.
It's not hidden in the back, like NECA toys that we know are sold on consignment.

Nevermind the photos show there's ~6 cases worth of toys and more figures would also be stored somewhere in the back, plus the distribution warehouses.
Again, in contrast, NECA only has ~3 cases shipped to target stores.

Nevermind the fact that the DC license is still costly as fuck and Mattel needed to get the license back from McFarlane.

Nevermind the only source we have that McFarlane only sells 10k-15k figures of each character is from a ESL third worlder who doesn't understand english, so he misunderstood an interview about McFarlane talking about Gold/Platinum figures, where it does make sense that limited edition figures would only get 10k figures made.

>>11470788
The figures are hidden in the back of the store though, as one can tell from this pic >>11468252

You can see the endless expanse of the ceiling of the rest of the store splayed out in the background of the pic. We thus know the display is facing the back wall, since we know Walmart's Electronics is in the back and this pic is facing towards the front of the store.

The display isn't in the front of electronics where people can see it as they walk by on their way to other departments. If it was you wouldn't see that wide expanse of ceiling--you'd just see a few aisles worth.

Why can't Todd afford to produce more than 15k of every figure? He was just on discord saying his company is poor. Why?

>>11470788
Todd just had a voice chat with people in the discord and said he can't make more than 15k units

Shut the fuck up, you obnoxious autistic cunt

>>11470807
He can, it's just he cannot be assured in this market that he can SELL more than 15k of most figures. Which would leave him with a lot of stock no retailers want to buy off him, which wouldn't be safe. McFarlane is going the extremely safe route to allow his toy company to survive the lean times that are coming to the toy industry

>>11469347
your mom took dumpster dick lol

>>11470800
I only see 1 single support beam going to the ceiling (besides the obvious one to the right). Either that's one of the smallest Walmarts ever made or the cameraman is standing somewhere to a side part of the store and 75% of the store is to the his right and/or back. So it's clearly not in the back.

But again, please ignore the fact that there's still 6 cases worth of toys and not 2-4 figures like the third world ESL needs to believe would need to be carried if only 10k-15k figures were made.
He's a retard and you're a bigger retard for arguing his third worlder beliefs.

BTW, i have walmarts where the electronics section is in the middle of the store still. This used to be the old way they did it, since most modern stores switched over to the back/side.

screencap of Target's endcap. front facing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9s4QJSm9Fo starts at 5:10. And you can tell it's front facing, because it's one of those low shelves.
At least 2 cases worth of toys on the front (and was probably filled before shit started selling out) and earlier in the video he shows the normal peg space also having ~2 cases worth of DC figures.

Also note that there's almost no movie figures in that hillybilly's video. Maybe 2. Most of the figures are from the normal waves.

>>11470831
Almost all Walmarts have the electronics sections in the back and in many cases they are in the back right or left. The pic is mostly focused on the display so it isn't exactly surprising you can't see a lot. But just the fact that I can see the K20 sign, tells me the K20 sign is more towards the front of the store as those markers line the main aisles to orient customers. They wouldn't be deeper into electronics.

>subjectanon trying to convince people his overpaying for shit is worth it.
>subjectanon trying to pretend he knows things about the toy industry.
Reminder, this is the guy who brags about his 2020 era Alienware PC like he's hot shit. The very definition of retarded.

>>11470852
honestly, it wouldn't make sense that Walmart would splurge to buy those cardboard Superman boxes to make the endcap stand out if it wasn't front facing.
They may be made out of cardboard, but Walmart is incredibly penny pinching about the costs to even get these shitty cardboard displays. spending 30-80¢ per box, across 6000 stores, is a ton of money for Walmart

pic is another walmart Superman display, which again, is clearly front facing, since the TVs are showing.

>>11470853
>third worlder still trying to argue, despite showing off his ESL skills couldnt even understand an english interview with McFarlane
I'm literally worse than Hilter for proving you thought 15k was a belieable number because you had no idea how many thousands of physical retail stores carry DC toys in the US.

They're back in electronics where no one will see them at every store.

It's always sad when you see biology fuck up and create someone like him.

Any news on when the feds will be done investigating Todd? I just want a Reynolds GL and this is fucking everything up for me.

>>11470928
If they can't reopen by the end of next week then what's already been announced is all Todd can sell.

>>11470928
Look, if you want Reynold GL that bad, just get the movie masters one made by Mattel 15 years ago. It's probably cheaper and you'll be happier.

You're as bad as that 'Smash it with a hammer' Summerfag

>>11470788
Everybody's complaining about how much Todd has to make/sell to make profit and all I see is all of this shit merchandise all cluttered together on the shelf in the pic.

Goddamn that's a mess.

It's pandering to everyone and nobody at the same time. Mystery boxes, Funkos, plush, Neca crap. Doesn't look like any merchandise was sold... and yet, these toy companies are still in business cranking out this garbage.
this pic makes me angrier the more I look at it.

Who knows how much merch actually sells, since stores are supposed to constantly restock their shelves at least twice a day.

So the only time we ever actually know is if a line disappears from shelves forever, like those Fortnite figures no longer being sold

Anyway, i take it you never go out or are super autismo? Because most shops look exactly like that. Pretty much the only time you see some clear seperation are at Walmarts/Targets, because they can set up a block of just a single line to make it stand out. This requires ordering a lot of stock, because Walmart/Targets have 4-8 pegs dedicated to just a single toyline and that requires ordering at least 4 cases to fill up those pegs. And since they're supposed to restock the line every day, that means there's extra stock sitting around dedicated toward that single store too.
So actual collector lines rarely ever get enough orders to actually create a solid block, to make it look aesthetic.

Dedicated spaces are obviously marketing gimmicks too, like the endcaps posted in this thread. Sometimes they're paid for or just a store wanting to make a product sell more.

So for toy stores that aren't like Walmart or Target, the vast majority of toyshops just shove everything together. This is especially true in countries where space is tight, like Japan.

Japan has actual diversity of product though something Americans always fail at, it's why so many of their malls go bankrupt because it's always the same shit you retards keep selling.

All the evil Batmen are from bad end timelines of different pre established DC universes (thus the Dark Multiverse). This guy is from an alt of the DCAU where he's in a relationship with Wonder Woman and she dies so he takes Ares power. It's stupid but it's to show he's the WW equivalent on a team of evil Batmen with JL powers. It's annoying that you don't care enough to look this up on your own but still insist on posting in a DC figures general.

i dont read modern shit and im not sitting through a 90 minute video essay by some e-begger

>>11471293
You know they have written summaries on Wikipedia right? Why do you have to watch a video essay? Incapayof reading?

>>11471298
Why dont you just answer my questions the first time? incapable of writing?

>>11471055
>are supposed to constantly restock their shelves
Toys tend to get cleaned up, meaning the assigned clerk goes through and brings stuff back from the registers or that's moved around or that kids were playing with and the mom's finally took them out of their hands and left at/by the registers
it doesn't actually mean they go out in back and restock toy shelves every day
I've been at stores plenty of time that had no stock and had empty pegs and it pretty much stays that way, that same day or the next, etc.

>>11471302
Because you shouldn't be hand held for something you can so easily look up of your own accord. We have these amazing tiny, little supercomputers that we carry in our pockets that have unfettered access to a nearly infinite source of information at blazing high speeds. Fucking use it you lazy faggot.

>>11471302
Also, your question was answered you illiterate cuck.

>>11470894
That's the only one posted so far that is front facing. Also mcfarlane most likely sends them the boxes as part of the packaging. Back in 2022 targets got gold labels Kyle Rayner and defiance deathstroke in a cardboard sidecap and mts started selling whole packages containing that cardboard display on mts.

i dont have a cellphone

>>11471449
How does one preorder toys without that, i think a lot of cases you need one to get mfa at least from banks or cc firms if not the retailer

>>11471449
Let me guess, you don't have a regular computer either?

>>11471728

I think it's weird that just 5 years ago, /toy/ always used to have former/current employees of walmart/target/kmart who were knowledeable about retail and today it seems like it's nothing but third worlders and autismbux enjoyers.

Keyword in what i said is "supposed to", as in, retail expects its employees to restock once or twice a day. This doesn't always happen, because eventually they're going to run out of stock or because there's no employee who only works the toy section. 12 years ago, they used to, but not anymore, so that person shares another section that takes up more time.
Anyway, you still see evidence of how the employees take the time to organize or make the shelves seem full. In >>11470831 picture, you can see that they filled in the Superman Move endcap. However, they ran out of movie stock and still can't fill in the empty space with non-movie DC figures. So either they get in more stock within the next week if there's still stock at their region's distribution warehouse or shelves are going to be empty until the next wave.

>>11471314
You're retarded.
Nothing is free and you obviously have never stepped inside an American retail store before, hence also not knowing the other ones are also front facing. If you were American, you'd know that only Walmart has those specific types of displays and they'er all obviously made by a single company, because the print/paper/thickness has been identical since the 00s at Walmart. So those displays are probably made internally by Walmart (unless Walmart didn't buy that printing company), but it's possible McFarlane sent them a PDF file for the design.

>>11471816
You fail at building analysis, just as you want to act like an 'expert' on toy market analysis. I can see why your reputation precedes you.

>>11471865
>spouting common sense that any walmart employee or someone who's been in a walmart more than thrice would notice
>expert
I guess compared to a third worlder, even a hillbilly could be considered an expert.

I mean, you can't even understand english, hence misunderstanding Mcfarlane saying he only makes 15k for each figure. So my being a native English speaker, that makes me an expert in that too (to you), despite most of my posts being dumbed down for your benefit.

>>11471816
retail employees were probably scared away the way most normal, healthy toy collectors are, from the /pol-tard refugees, bots, and idiots and imbeciles that primarily post in almost all threads since lockdown.

As far as the conversation related to stocking, you are right, Target has no assigned 'toy' employees and literally the department is assigned to electronics. Which is often staffed by employees of the vendors, who still answer to the Target managers. At least on the west coast, in three different cities (including one in the rural, central parts of California which are largely conservative), there were no 'assigned' employees at any of the five Walmarts I have visited in the past two years, I had to wait at each and every single one to get someone to help me and, unlike Target, when you went to their customer service and wasted time waiting in that line, they sent you back out to the toy area and had you wait for someone to get there to 'help you' which honestly never happened. Once, in Fresno, after wasting 47 minutes, I simply walked out of the store.
