Okay, now that's my Superman. Seriously, can't wait I already have my early tickies from Amazon.

>>11475873
ok james

>>11475873
I've seen him at Target, Walmart, Best Buy and Gamestop. Go outside and check for him

>>11475865 (OP)
he still looks derpy / autistic to me

>>11475876
its especially weird since some times at certain angles he looks alright. keaton in the flash had the same issues, in some cases not even looking like keaton all at. and no i dont mean because his age/stunt doubles. I have a hunch their using some jank cg trickery thats fucking it all up

>>11475865 (OP)
Ugly ass design that completely hides his physique akin to a hot girl wearing a burqa.
>>11475873
lmao, what do you even like about it?

>>11475883
It looks more like Superman than Henry ever wished he could.

The movie is shit.
Superman is star lord. Gunn made him just a dude with superpowers. Jimmy Olson saves the day by cucking lex. Ultraman is bizzaro. Just a Superman clone with a fucked up face. They refer to him as Mr handsome. That first promotional shot they used is the last scene. After everything superman is in his apartment with Lois finally getting ready to relax when some alien thing attacks. He takes his sweet time before flying off to help the justice gang. Post credit sets up supergirl and you see lobo

>>11475896
Sounds unironically like an issue of All Star Superman. I don't see the issue.

>>11475896
sounds about right, glad i stopped watching movies after tdk

>>11475896
The movie is also a massive cia psyop and you’ll understand how and why when you see it. Tom king being involved makes perfect sense now.

>They refer to him as Mr handsome
Wrong. Mr Handsome is the white alien creature in my picture that controls the elevator in Lexi's jail where he keeps metahumans. You see him in a trailer and a behind the scenes spot briefly. Gunn off-handedly said this in an interview. What do you get out of lying?

>>11475907
the cool kind of pysop or the bad kind?

>>11475916
>>11475916
I saw the movie. That is a white Martian and only gets referred to as “it” or “thing” in the movie. Mr handsome is ultraman/bizzaro

tourist passing by really quickly ... is another company getting the dc license any time soon? or any chance mcfarlane will make actual 6 inch figures? i am forced to buy imports just to scale correctly

>>11475921
Wrong.

>>11475922
Mattel has the license now.

>>11475919

try watching YouTubers talk about it on podcast if you need to goon

I was at work today. I ordered Cyborg Superman for shipping at 7AM knowing it would be canceled. I watched at the rotting scrofulous of Walmart's website as every store that had it in stock even those out in bumfuck nowhere had it disappear. By 5PM, they were all gone. Canceled. Scalper exclusive.

>>11475954
I actually saw him and New 52 Superman today, I opted for OP instead.

>>11475959
You will regret that choice when the Superman movie disappoints you and/or fails and/or is yesterday's news. Comic figures are forever. Movie figures come and go, with very few exceptions, when a movie is absolutely stellar and eternal. But movies that good largely cannot be made today.

>>11475959
KEK this HAS to be bait.

>>11475991
Not bait. Fuck New 52. Cyborg was cool but I wanted the new movie Supes.

>>11475954
Thats my pg story. So im gonna go to target tomorrow, if anyone wants a ride i can come by, and then after i find nothing i truly want ill come 'home' and promptly try to order power girl or the new bizarro. Staying busy helps dull the depression on an off day.
Oh do not order any cyborg from a 3rd party btw, youll get a bootleg dc universe cyborg supes, which yeah cool, but its not an official mcfarlane 7 in kino chungus heckin 22 poa figgy.

Do you think a single man bought that 50 dollar Kaiju figure?

Reminder that James Gunn is a pedophile and anyone who pays a dime for anything he ever made is a pedo supporter and you fund his lavish, child abusing lifestyle

>>11476076

Is this really all McFarlane can find if they plumb the depths of DC's IP library? Adam Strange?

>>11476153
The standard release looks much better and thats a source material fact based opinion!

>>11475865 (OP)
>handposing
absolutely disgusting

>>11476153
I like Adam Strange. I know you were expecting CIA or the Bank Manager but some of us like characters that aren't from the Dark Knight trilogy.

>>11476418
>CIA
That would be one HELL of a kino figger.

>>11476153
What are you even talking about? Tons of people like Adam Strange and were hyped when he was announced. What character would you have preferred? Genuinely curious because I can't think of any B or C listers who deserve it more except for maybe Big Barda, Zatanna, and Black Canary

So target had dr fate and two face but ill be waiting a week for mine.
Saw this at walmart though, dunno who its aimed for but yeah, task force variants. Atleast i got out of the hovel for a few hours.
Guess everyone is busy buying superboy so the thread has stalled out.

>>11476904
>Guess everyone is busy buying superboy
Everyone has dropped mcfarlane because of the batshit prices mixed with limited quantities. Mattel, mafex and shf are about to be putting out 6 inch figures. It’s over.

>>11476925
Oh, i thought people just got tired of the silliness we get into here at times. Ive noticed that toy has become a bit slower over all after the shut down but yeah, trying to collect mcfarlane multiverse has become the worst ive seen yet. Like superboy sold out at bbts atleast in around 6 mins if they went live at 11 am cst.

>>11476925
My Hawkgirl arrives Monday then I'm out. Kinda want Sandman but nobody locally carries McFarlanes anymore and at this point I'm just hoarding so I don't really care if I go the rest of my life without Wes.

Nobody here seems to be buying them anymore since the only pictures of toys in this thread are mine and some Walmart shelves reposted from reddit.

>>11477051
You shitting up the whole board hasn’t helped anything. DC general is just going to be dead until we see Mattel reveals and then dead until we start getting those in hand.

McFarlane's practices are going to trace a scar over dc figure collecting that will never quite heal. His revenge against Mattel, for stealing his last chance at glory. Collectors will wake up in a cold sweat years from now looking at shelves for red Cyborg Superman at Target and finding none or the alert that walmart canceled their 4th try at a Batman year one order.

>>11477066
Theres nothing about his post that was "shitting up " the board. He is just speaking first the facts on the ground near him, and then his view or impressions of the gen based on what he sees here.

Many of us agree with him. I was a Todd supporter for dcmv from 2020 to the start of 2024. Now I would say more than anyone here, McFarlane Toys is the one shitting up this gen by making an impossible to collect line that is damaging to the mental health of anyone still trying. And that includes me. It's time to stop buying.

>>11477076
Samefag. I was referring to the powergirl posting among other annoying shit you do Jarret.

>>11475873
Good morning sir

>>11477092
Sorry to disappoint but I am not the same guy. I assume Jarrett was not a Todd booster through the Death Metal years.

>>11477051
Bitch, my Superman I got yesterday is the OP pic. Do I really need to post him on my patio to get your attention.

What do you think is the max the average collector would pay for Superboy and this weird 1940s WW?

It seems like the sky is almost the limit. This is why companies can take advantage of collectors so badly. They really will pay anything. Have some limits. You're buying a McFarlane, not a Mafex.

>>11477096
have you redeemed your tickets from the Amazon?

>>11477068
If Mattel will put effort into the line, we'll end up doing just fine. They need to basically do what they did with their original DC line, but like...better.

>>11477152
The one thing I hope Mattel will do is continue with wired capes. That was probably the best thing Todd did for a cheap domestic toy line.

>>11477163
The one thing I hope Mattel doesn't do is use faggot ass doll capes. They look cheap and shitty.

Just enjoying the new best Superman on my sick ass patio. I can't wait for the film.

>>11477181
>I'm saaad that I'm flying

>>11477108
Not many were, i remember the hoopla over emo lobo. I remember solid gold colored wonder woman, i still feel the ache of the demon...death metal was awesome! Todds stewardship of the dc license has been a herky jerk of odd decisions. Batzarro wasnt too long ago but it seems ancient now in some ways.

>>11477152
>If Mattel will put effort into the line, we'll end up doing just fine.
welp its over

>>11477181
Can he even look forward in a flying pose?

>>11477181
Now THAT is a patio! Take some notes DC Gen

>>11477163
This. Todd put anyone taking over dc into a corner by starting wired capes.

>>11477202
Yeah no cheap palettes anywhere to be seen, but there is a cheap figure with what looks like a potential QC issue on its eye.

>>11477205
I sometimes wonder if Todd is "playing dumb" or if he is intentionally doing things to raze DC for whoever has to make figures after his watch. He was putting wired capes on 23 dollar figures. His sculptors and engineers were shit but his seamstresses had their backs and were saving the figures. It's such a weird thing to do well.

Tell me the secret sauce, dc gen, how do I get walmart to not convert my shipping orders to delivery from store so I can actually get Cyborg Superman?

>>11477261
Just stop being poor and go buy one off eBay, retard.

>>11477181
Why do his hands kind of look like they're made of dough and are going to fall apart?

>>11477270
The entire figure is a baffling series of strange decisions. It's the only figure I've bought that's so shit it makes me angry when I remember I spent money on it.

>>11477270

>>11477267
I have enough to buy it on ebay but I morally can't do that as I can't overpay for a figure more than I am willing to pay for it. I don't want the figure enough to pay 45 dollars for it.

Even though it is available at random locations at Walmart around the country for $25, they will not sell it to me because I do not live in a location free of scalpers who buy up the figure. So I want to find a way to order the item for shipping like we used to be able to do, to get the order from any Walmart fulfillment center in the US. Even a few years ago we could do this. I want to purchase a figure that Walmart refuses to sell to me.

>>11477273
McFarlanes sometimes do that. Sometimes you get a good figure, sometimes you get total trash. I wonder if I can think of the mcfarlanes that made me angry I paid money for them.

>>11477276
But you're wasting your time trying to game Walmart's site instead of just paying $20 more to be done with it. Yeah, you're getting scalped, but this entire line is just scalper exclusive shit at this point and clearly physical locations aren't an option unless you live in LA or New York.

Fuck Todd.

>>11477277
Steel and his limp hammer.

>>11477280
If there is no way to do it on the site I would just give up and not buy the figure rather than paying more than I think its worth. I do this with every other figure I have interest in but never have a chance to buy for the proper price.

>>11477270
That's the McFarlane Promise. Lumpy and doughy figures that can barely move. Just like the people who buy them.

>>11477296
The sad thing is I'm by no means in shape and I'm basically an Olympic gymnast compared to 99% of McFarlanes. The torso articulation is so limited they can barely move any way but back usually. The pseudo-butterflies are so poorly done that they barely provide much range and certainly not normal human level of movement forward and back. Their necks often can barely go a little in each direction. The thigh swivel that is supposed to be built into the hip of each is always impeded by having too much plastic material on the legs so it cannot reach normal human leg movements. They articulate nothing like a normal human can. They are failures at engineering.

>>11477337
I believe that's a Todd McFarlane quote.

>>11477406
Which Spawn issue?

Also he's pretty much turned me against his toy co with the handling of this line. The artificial scarcity is disgusting

>>11477181

>>11477727
Glad Todd finally started doing more female characters, even if it took him to nearly the end of the line to do it. Hopefully he can get out a Black Canary and Zatanna before it's over. Doubt I'm going to bother starting from scratch with Mattel and will just buy whatever can be fudged in with DCC and McFarlane.
>Blackfire
Oh, nice. Was pretty pissed off with her being released as a recolored platinum for Starfire. Hope it's a new sculpt.

>>11477763
>Doubt I'm going to bother starting from scratch with Mattel and will just buy whatever can be fudged in with DCC and McFarlane.
I probably won't restart either. I now have almost two full sets of the Justice League with the Icons and McFarlane's lines and with McFarlane ones, I'm actually satisfied except for the fact that they outright neglected to give us Shazam's original yellow-emblem design.

I don't see any real way Mattel will convince me to jump onto their line unless the figures have outright perfect articulation, wired capes, plenty of accessories, and great sculpts + paint apps for 25-30 dollars/figure which I simply don't see happening

>>11477454
I would've picked the Deluxe one with Krypto, but I haven't seen it in the wild. I don't usually collect McFigures and got this one on a whim when I was out at Target the other day. They also had New 52 and Cyborg Superman, but I already have the Mafex Cyborg and I don't care for the New 52 costume.

>>11477838
Nta but Essentials figures were 20 bucks at the time

>>11477838
For a McFarlane, I personally don' think so, but if you have people who like the figures enough, I'm sure they'd disagree. But in general? Yeah $35 isn't a lot of money at all. Not sure why everyone shits their britches over such small sums of cash. I just dropped $2K on a new rifle. I could fart $35 away and not notice it.

>>11477849
I mean the term affordable already implies some subjectivity, no? Everyone has their own thoughts on what is affordable or not. I think the term you guys are looking for is "fair".

To me, 35 bucks are easily affordable but I don't think McFarlane figures are a fair deal in 95% of the cases. When you look at other lines and what they offer, the pricing just ain't fair at all. Let's even put paintjobs and articulation aside. Fans are still left with almost zero-accessory figures for 35 dollars a piece while other lines such as Jada (fuck, even Legends) offer more for less money. I suppose you wouldn't buy a piece of shit just because you can afford it, correct?

>Not sure why everyone shits their britches over such small sums of cash
Again, to people like you and I, the price may not be a big thing but why should I actively promote poor business practices by buying poor quality figures? In general, I also think about whether my actions could actively lead to other fans getting a worse deal in the long run because this is a shared hobby.

I come from money and nothing is faggier than bragging about how much money you can spend.

>>11477849
>I just dropped $2K on a new rifle. I could fart $35 away and not notice it.
Why is it always the wannabe rich bitches who boast about how much money they have and how they spend their money on shitty products? Not that it is expected of people who spend their money on guns to be smart but ffs

>>11477849
>>11477854
These are reasonable responses. 35 bucks for a McFarlane is usually a raw deal I would say, but 35 bucks for a kb mouse combo or something is nothing.

>>11477878
>Not that it is expected of people who spend their money on guns to be smart

I agree with this completely

>Again, to people like you and I, the price may not be a big thing but why should I actively promote poor business practices by buying poor quality figures?
I can also agree with this. Fair is definitely a better term to use, or maybe "worth it" would apply too.

>>11477883
I was about to type a full on response until I saw
>full auto rifle
Then I realized you don't know anything about guns and your opinion doesn't matter.

>>11477838
Compared to the $100+ the Essentials Cheetah goes for nowadays? Yes.

>>11477840
Yeah, I've got a pretty complete collection of the big names at this point only really wanting a couple of female characters that haven't had great luck with figures in the 15 years I've been collecting. Mattel figures would really need to just stomp all the domestics that came before to get me on board, even more so if they end up going 1/12 or 6.5".

>>11477883
I mean i was exaggerating but if you don't live in a second or third world country, guns are completely unnecessary unless you're a hunter

>>11477903
>guns are completely unnecessary unless you're a hunter
Oh lord. You're one of those people

>>11477903
>guns are completely unnecessary unless you're a hunter
Man it must be nice living in a fantasy world. I got ran up on by some rowdy future doctors and lawyers just the other night when I went to my local ghetto Walmart in search of Superman movie figures. If I didn’t have my completely necessary gun I would’ve been completely fucked.

Feels weird being in a community where 95% of the people are liberal bitches. You guys know just because you’re emotionally stunted or are coping with something by collecting action figures it doesn’t mean you have to be a pussy.

>>11475865 (OP)
I figured out what really bugs me about this costume. It's the blue gaps on the neck. It's not even like the cape is really draping. Makes it look far too much like armor. The neck and lines already do that.

Mcfarlane is such a terrible fucking company.

Anyone have the Spin Master 12 inch Superman? Yeh, it's a dumb kids toy but it's 12 inches and looks to have decent articulation.

>>11477939
Aside from the cape this is just as good as the hot toys

>>11477902
The problem is 100 for that Cheetah is not reasonable either and collectors need to stop pretending it is.

>>11477940

>still no zatanna

>>11478272
You don't yet understand, but Todd not letting you buy the figures you want is a kindness, not a cruelty. That is why he has raised the prices again as well. He wants as many of you as possible to be free of this hobby. Hoping you give it all up when you can't find the figures you want, you would forget the horrors you have seen and felt here and awake under the morning sun. That is all he wants for you, what he wants for us all. If you quit this hobby, you will become the highest thing any of us can hope to be, you will become a real person.

>>11478272
Todd can only afford to make about 5,000 figures at a time.

best Superman

Is it just me or is he engineered differently? I haven't ever been able to hit such dynamic poses with other McFarlane figures.

>>11478304
I like the cut of his jib even if I don't fully like the Randian ideology that Snyder made present in the movies surrounding him.

>>11478309
This

>>11478309
for all the accusations of objectivism in the movies, the characters in Snyder's movies behave in explicitly unrandian manners, Pa Kent trying to protect Clark from being ostracized at the cost of his own life is still more palatable to me than Gunn's ugly cgi babies and le hecking doggo. Snyder definitely took Superman more seriously in a way I appreciate.

>>11478305
I was ranning!

>>11478351
True, there are elements of it but it isn't 1:1 or anything.

Not content with The Question's lunatic observations and connections, Batman begins his own investigation.

>>11478351
If only Snyder had a partner to reel his autism in by 40%. Unironically had him and Gunn became permanent collaborators after dawn of the dead we’d have so many good films.

>>11478272
That doesn't look like the CN version.
That's just generic Beast Boy.

>>11478272
>>11478381
Every time someone talks about that cartoon in conjunction with this line I remember that one guy who loved the cartoon Cyborg and just kept hyping up the rest to be made, whether seriously or sarcastically.

>>11478385
People liked the CN versions, so i don't see why he wouldn't want to see more done.

This Beast Boy doesn't even look semi-cartoonified like the original Cyborg release.

>>11478389
I think Cyborg got thrown in as a bad seller with all those weirdly proportioned Cartoon Superman and Cartoon Batmen they were making that no one wanted.

Metamorpho is the kind of tired that sleep won't fix.

>>11478401
All the TAS figures sold well though.

Only Cyborg was a shelf warmer, but that's a given, since he was the least popular Teen Titan and kids generally dont' give a shit about black characters.
I wonder why McFarlane decided to start the line with him anyway. Should have been Robin or Beast Boy instead. Or Starfire if he wanted to be "diverse"

Fresh from plebbit
No man’s land Batman has no wired cap.
QC issue or cost saving measure?

>>11478417
These figures did not sell well, they were on deep, deep discount even online

>>11478417
Are you guys talking about the straight titans cartoon or the silly version? Im ok with either honestly, they are both pretty damn solid cartoons, i just got curious which you may prefer.

>>11478442
Cost saving, McFarlane is clearly running out of money and minimizing risk. Look at how the prices have skyrocketed and how he is limiting his production runs extremely low. Toy companies do this to survive when they are extremely risk averse.

>>11478442
Going back at the product image mcfarlane put out a few days ago and I can’t tell if this is wired or not but the reveal on the toy show was.

>>11478453
It's wired

>>11478454
Would make sense if it’s the prototype shown on the toy show. Can’t wait to see if the actual product is wired or not.

>>11478445

>>11478442
So did the plebbit guy say he bought it legit and it had no wire or did he buy some factory defect or bootleg?

>>11478456
Most mcfarlane leg articulation is that bad. I dont know how this line is still selling, let alone getting people to pay 35 dollars for figures now

>>11477913
>someone says something against guns
>unlimited bitching and moaning by second-world Clapistanis
Like fucking clockwork. You retards will always find a way to justify gun use to the point where it becomes pathetic but also funny. Imagine living in a country where you constantly have to find reasons why you're justly using weapons or why you're more of a man for having a gun instead of actually improving society as a whole to make said guns obsolete. What's worse is that every American I meet who travels and knows other cultures says the same thing because they're not as dumb as lunatics who can't find anything better to do with their lives instead of collecting weapons like some anime fans

I think the average McFarlane consumer is like me. Somebody who got back into collecting after a long hiatus and not really up to date or in the know how about other lines/companies. Once we do learn of better figures/companies, we stop buying McFarlane altogether. I was lucky to stop buying his garbage after 15 or so figures. Never going back, I'd rather have few figures that are more expensive, but with modern articulation and sculpts.

>>11478445
Never saw Superman:TAS in stores.

I really don't remember the TAS figures shelf warming like. And i don't mean stuff like pic, where nearly everything is sold out except for a few stragglers after a week/month.
A Shelf warmer is supposed to be a figure that PREVENTS more stock from coming in, like Thomas Wayne, Penguin, or the Demon. And really, other Batman figures stayed on shelves longer than any Batman:TAS figure. There's so many Batmans, it's actually pretty hard to keep track of who's who and since there's only so many Batmans that people need/want and so many batman releases, inevitably, Batman is going to be a pegwarmer usually. Unlike Harley here, who did sell well.

>>11478459
I don't need to justify fucking anything. I think guns are cool and like them therefore I collect them. Just because they have an actual purpose unlike the plastic chotchkeys we whine about on here all the time. Stay mad you pussy.

>>11478474
Sold well for 9.99

Baby shark was my gateway into adult collecting

>get endless winter aquaman
>mcfarlane so cheap I start picking up a few more
>start trying to put a justice league together
>never stop
Now here I am at the end of the line waiting for a Zatanna. I think the main reason I stuck with mcfarlane was because of the ease of kitbashing. I did branch out into shf, hot toys and mafex and ultimately I can’t justify buying an action figure over $50 max and I enjoy cheap domestic toys more because I like playing with my kid and not having to worry about breaking something. I think most adult collectors have been successfully manipulated into being pay pigs for anything somewhat nostalgic as long as it’s a “collectible”

Never buy a figure for a headsculpt. You can take a picture of a headsculpt and hang it on your wall. Only buy a figure for the articulation within.

>>11478474
That’s not how toy stocking works retard

>>11478486
Literally is and observable even if youv'e never worked at retail. This is why "shelf warmer" is negative term in the first place.

Stores dont' get in all their stock day one. They get like enough to fill their shelves twice or thrice over (depending on expectations).
After that, they rely on regular shipments from their distribution center for more stock.... IF shit sells. If something shelf warmers, the computer won't reorder. There's a minimum amount of figures that need to sell before they reorder, so all their stock doesn't need to sell out.

Speaking strictly about large retail stores, like TRU/Walmart/Target/etc. Little mom and pop shops might just get a fedex package and that's it until the next wave (3-4 months later).

I think the term "shelf warmer" has been watered down by shitty zoomers who don't hunt or know how retail works. They seem to believe that store still having stock 2 months later is a bad thing, because they don't realize that stores restock their shelves on a daily/weekly basis. They have no idea what a shelf warmer actually looks like.
Or it could be a third worlder, who only know business based on their uncle's mom and pop shop and think ordering a single case is Walmart-tier success.

pic is an actual shelf warmer, which is like 25 cases worth of Power Girl that clogged shelves, hence being put on clearance and away from the actual pegs. Probably took a toy section reset for them to finally get rid of her, because stores literally can not restock if that many figures existed existed on the shelf.

>>11478474
This black suit Superman TAS was peg warming Targets forever

>>11478515
God damn what a time to be a Power Girl fan

>>11478540
Then sure. But now...
Power Girl now sells for less on ebay than CEs cost now.
The power girl renaissance was an illusion.

You know a shit character that todd made a figure of? Fucking Effigy.

>>11478540
It was a completely shit time to be a DC fan. You either got ugly cheapshit from Mattel or McStatues from DC Direct.

Early on the DCUC got some love, but people wised up fast and noticed how samefag the DCUC line was. There were some hardcore DCUC fans, but for the most part, collectors hated the line. There was not a lot of interest in the line on most forums back in the day.
So sales relied mostly on kids and even kids seemed to stay away, hence the line constantly bombing and getting rebooted by Mattel.

>>11478520
never saw it. The early waves were eaten up like crazy, due to pent up demand for DC figures. I think this aided the shelf warming that happened later for McFarlane, as stores overordered the line due to how fast it sold initially.

>>11478381
The head's not, but the outfit's clearly inspired by the cartoon's, at least a lot more than the standard release.

>>11478628
He look so flamboyant

>>11478575
That figure came in a bit later in 2022 or so -- as reuse of the original mold of Supes

>>11478628

I only own 1 McFarlane figure and I'm scared to be disappointed that the legs can't go a full 90 degrees.
What do you guys think?

>>11478628
What the hell is with those proportions?

>>11478644
Like, forward or back? Yeah, no, they can't. The figures from day 1 have had horrible hip and thigh construction. There's next to no thigh movement even because of how fucking restrictive the engineering is.

>>11478644
They often can do splits but they are limited in nuanced, bizarre ways

>>11478575
This is what the new Mattel line will look like

>>11478691
Mattel's improved a lot.

>>11475896
That doesn't sound horrible.
I mean not too exciting but not bad.

>>11477708
Do any of you own any Hot Toys even? Surely someone has one of the gajillion Batmans they've done.

>>11478551
Nobody cares about Power Girl. It's all fake hype and bad BS from Todd tweaking the market.

Looks like a CHEAP WHORE

>>11478691
based on the he-man threads, they still re-re-re-re-re-reuse bodies for 70% of their toylines, which is the biggest problem with Mattel.

Good for Mattel to finally stepping up in using modern articulation though. Now they're only 10 years behind Hasbro, Jada, McFarlane, etc etc, instead of 15 years behind.

There's no hope for the DC brand and these threads will no longer exist in a year, because no one will care, just like 2009 - 2019 (later half of 2019 was hyped though, because that's when Mattel was rumored to lose it for MCFarlane and Spinmaster).

>>11478960
Basically, the hype for the new Power Girl was the general's peak and now we're just waiting to flip up the chairs and turn off the lights.

>>11479001
>hype for the new Power Girl
There was no hype. It was one nutjob that spammed the figure over and over again.

>>11479006
Nah.

>>11478272
Fuck the Teen Titans cartoon and fuck you. That show was a cancer.

>>11478812
The $20 Ross Batman has a wired cape.

>>11479329
Scratch that I’m retarded

>>11479015
My best memory is watching Seasons 1 & 2 with my friends. Anything after that (Teen Titans Go!) is garbage....

>>11479351
I gave teen titans go a chance recently and it’s easily something that would’ve been popular on kids wb. It’s not as clever as animaniacs but it’s not as dumb as it looks.

>>11478520
My Target still has one lol

>>11477727
>Max Shreck
Yeah I'm getting this one

>>11479382
That'll be $34.99+tax+tip+scalper finders fee+shipping.

Most likely future releases will not have wired capes. Thoughts?

>>11479524
I just need deathstroke then I’ll wait to see what Mattel does. I hope Todd mcfarlane loses his company but he’s too much of a snake for that to happen to him.

>>11479528
I expect Mattel will go without wires now as only select McFarlane releases ever got them and they would not out-compete new releases on the secondary market given their relative rarity and thus higher prices.

It may even be remotely possible DC told McFarlane all his releases now must remove the wires to get approved (they still have the stitching for wires), as the future license holder Mattel would want to minimize the likelihood of people sticking with past releases as much as possible.

>>11479541
Or most likely Todd’s tainted factory workers just neglected to add the wire to the capes and there is zero qc with the line. If Mattel is stupid enough not to have wired capes the line will be doa. The current rumor on the Facebook group is Mattel is doing 6 inch and will have wired caps and collector friendly packaging. They want to show up hasbro.

>>11479550
Unconfirmed rumors mean nothing. Given the prices are going to have to go up, and $35 "Theatrical Deluxe" McFarlanes are shelfwarming at Walmart in electronics, I expect Mattel will want to stay under that price. With tariff conditions not going back to 0%, that means cost cutting. I agree with 6 inch as it means smaller tooling, but anything above Masterverse single strip cloth capes are a cost liability.

>>11479555
>Given the prices are going to have to go up
Jakks just proved that wrong with their $60 4 pack that includes darkseid. You know nothing and are retarded.

>>11479567
This. The margins for toys are so ridiculous that these toy companies can easily absorb the tariff costs for these things. Toys cost literal dollars to manufactur and sell for ten times what it costs to make them. These companies are just being greedy and taking advantage of the current situation.

>>11479567
>$60 4 pack
>4 pack pricing is equivalent to the addition of per unit to pricing on single figures
Hasbro has trained you well.

>>11479593
The mark up on toys is roughly 100% for the manufacturer (not counting the retailer mark up as well), but no company will give up that mark up. The cost will be passed along to the customer. Shareholders must be appeased. Line must always go up. You will not get a corporation with shareholders to give up profits. You will not be the first in history.

>>11479596
Not if people start calling them out for their bullshit and not paying marked up prices. But we know that won't happen because som of you people make toy collecting your entire personality.

>>11479599
I'm the lunatic that refuses to pay ebay prices for Cyborg Superman when everyone here is telling me to just buy it off ebay

>>11479603
I mean, second hand pricing isn't really the same as a marked up MSRP. You're just sticking it to the scalpers bynnit buying off the 2nd hand market, the toy company doesn't give a fuck about aftermarket prices. They already got their sale. Not encouraging you to buy from scalpers, just saying that by not buying on the afternarket you're sticking to to the scalpers and not Todd.

>>11479610
But it does show I am unwilling to pay ridiculous prices. I also refuse to pay $35 for CEs. $30 was my limit.

It's funny that everyone is now bringing up how No Man's Land Batman doesn't have a wire, but before that the Target New 52 Superman didn't have a wire either. But no one here noticed because no one here gives a shit about New 52 Superman. Only when it's Batman do people notice and get shocked. Also no one is sure if red Cyborg Superman has a wire because few if anyone can get him due to scalpers immediately buying all the stock, but N52 Supes is relatively available.

>>11479612
>But it does show I am unwilling to pay ridiculous prices
Cool, toy companies don't pay attention to whether or not you're paying $60 to Scalpy McJew. Scalpy already gave them their sale. So pay yourself on the back I guess.

>I also refuse to pay $35 for CEs.
This is actually sticking it to Todd directly. Kind of. CEs are so limited that you probably wouldn't have even been able to get one if you were willing to pay the price.

>>11479615
>Also no one is sure if red Cyborg Superman has a wire because few if anyone can get him.
I have him. He's wired.

>>11479617
I walked past the Superman endcap at Walmart a few days ago, so I definitely declined to buy CEs. The CEs are out there but only specific ones Todd has to push like the movie figures or comic ones lucky enough to happen to be distributed with those movie figures. Others are near impossible to find as you say.

>>11479622
Of course you have him, Todd, you own the company.

>>11479624
Good for you. Honestly thought you're not being some hero or something. You're just not buying toys. No one cares that you have self control and don't just impulsively buy something you walk past.

I swear some of you on here are either literal goddamn children and shouldn't be posting here, or are so mentally deficient that you have the mentality of a child.

>>11479625
Todd is honestly tired of all this articulation. He just wants to go back to making beautiful statues. But you guys won't let him.

>>11479631
I bought an extra jade as impulse buy.

>>11479675
That's foolish, Jade has white as part of her figure. Both Jades will yellow and be worthless in a decade or so.

>>11478459

Amazing how Todd sucked the fun out of buying toys

>>11479721
Yeah, I'll be glad when Todd loses the license finally. I was all for him and the line while he was for making it easily available and reasonably priced, even if the figures had flaws. But Todd somehow became everything he was supposedly against. Not sure what happened behind closed doors but it's probably a crazy story.

>>11479735
He’s been into stupid chase figures and color variants since the 90’s you idiot

>>11479721
Fucking A

>>11479736
Todd's figures were always easily available and cheap in the 90s though. Color variants were not part of my statement. Cyborg Superman for example is impossible to find whether it's the regular look or the red version.

>>11479750
Not just Cyborg Superman, most Walmarts don't carry his figures anymore and you're lucky if your orders through Best Buy and Amazon don't get cancelled. He can't fulfill orders, he's burned bridges with every retailer on the internet, and he's losing the only line that makes him money.

He brought this on himself with artificial scarcity.

Why are toy companies so consistently bad at telling exactly how many figures they should produce of a given character/look? They either overproduce and cause shelf warming or under produce and cause angry fans and scarcity. Shouldn't they have reams of data to go off of? Hasbro tends to lean towards overproducing (but falls into underproducing for Target exclusives at I guess Target's demand?). Todd overproduced too except with some exclusives like Azbat until the last few years.

>>11479735
How McDC turned out is perfectly in keeping with everything he’s ever done, I don’t understand how you’re surprised by any of it
>his own spawn trash
>his Kiss trash
>his Halo trash
>his sports trash
It’s always the same thing: weird “I don’t usually do this kind of thing” articulation, scarcity either because he’s small time or intentional, color variants out the ass, 1/10 case chase figures, exclusives, shit no one wants in a “premium” pack like Batman and King Kong, cross hatch paint that’s too thickly applied, on and on.
It’s all the same, it’s the McFarlane Way

>>11479790
You must be from the 00s era. I am from the 90s era, when the Spawn figures were so overstocked that their prices sealed are still ridiculously low even now. They can go for as low as 5-10 bucks on ebay since way too many were produced. Even the "chase" silver or gold versions which no one wanted back in the day anyway are cheap as hell.

The figures were cheap and available. And that is what Todd touted in interviews in 2021 about DCMV. And they were cheap and available for awhile. The stores were overflowing and clearanced them out. Then it all changed and figures became harder and harder to get as the prices kept going up or he would put out a new gimmick line to charge more.

He looks so worn down and tired.

>>11479867
Why are they wasting his time shilling shit you can't buy anywhere?

>>11479871
Those are actually the only McFarlanes you can find anywhere

>>11479875
Just weird that they're wasting his time with McFarlane stuff that isn't even sold in Walmarts anymore and aren't available on Amazon. Like where the fuck is the customer supposed to go to find those?

At least Spin Master is in physical stores, he should be shilling those.

>>11479887
Todd only sold less than 300 of a figure before a major release or did he only send Amazon 300 units? Did he only make like 3,000 of them in total to split up amongst retailers?

>>11479887
Anon, you really haven't been to a Walmart electronics section lately have you? The Superman displays are basically guaranteed to be there. But DC cannot be happy that they are out of the toy aisle and only in electronics.

>>11479890
The closest and only one available to me is 40 miles away in the state capitol.

>>11479892
Then you should really count yourself lucky that Walmart has not moved in and destroyed your area yet.

>>11479895
There are 15 other locations around me. The point is that only one of them was sent movie toys for the big release coming out next week.

Todd fucked this up so bad.

>>11479898
How did you possibly do the leg work to confirm that?

>>11479900
Do you not know how to use the internet? You just camp here in this cave full of retards defending Todd?

>>11479890
Im waiting on my regular store to get a display but it seems unlikely.
There is an older, smaller non super center i kinda want to check out but i honestly have no reason to drive out to that town. The liqour store there doesnt sell my brew, no laundromat and their pawn shop sucks, the streets are old and narrow blah blah blah. I hate that town.

>>11479900
We drive around together, that anon is my riding buddy when i go out to target.

>>11479901
You cant trust walmart's listings as a reflection of the reality on the ground in the stores. The data is populated by Walmart employees after all.

>>11479790

>>11479953
If you saw how fast the ebay scalped McFarlanes sell (literally the same day they are put out) then you'd know what a shelfwarming McFarlane looks like. If it isn't sold out in 2 weeks, then no one thinks it is worth it.

>>11479867
He knows his movie is shit and going to bomb.

>>11480063
Judging from the trailers, I'd agree with him.

I never cared for the guy during his MCU phase or the pedo accusations but since he got the reins of the DCU I cannot stand seeing him in any media, he comes off as this pretentious asshole that doesn't know shit about comics and is trying very hard to sell some snake oil.

what in the actual fuck, todd

>>11480181
The secret reason why Todd walks around the office in his bare feet is because he can't afford shoes.

When can we dream again, superfriends?

>>11480190
He is the kind of guy that sleep in his office, and I mean he has a king size bed and fucks his wife in it.

>>11475865 (OP)
The mobile game Injustice 2 revealed a new Superman suit rumored to be used in the final scene of the film. The suit appears to be a movie tie-in. What are your thoughts? Is it a better suit? Figure when?

>>11480484
wow i hate it even more

>>11480484
It really is a worse suit. Yellow tim on the S looks bad, yellow shoulders us shit, still cowardly about showing the neck more open. the whole shoulder/cape area is SCREAMING to open up the collar but they don't.

Not much since Todd can only make 10,000 units of each figure and only sent about 300 to Amazon. >>11479887

>>11480849
point out the thigh swivel here you fucking moron.

>>11480930
Nta but what you want is a thigh CUT which contains a swivel. All standard dc McFarlanes have a thigh swivel built-in to the crotch mechanism under the trunks. Most of them however do not work well or at all due to incompetent sculptors blocking the swivel from working due to the way they sculpt the figures legs

>>11480930
>thigh swivels don't exist unless it's a straight cut through the sculpt
it's inside a cavity in the upper thigh you imbecile. handle a toy for once in your life. do you need me to point out the blatantly visible ankle swivel too? kill yourself

>>11480949
It's the same fag who spams those edits. he doesn't own any toys.

>>11480949
You don’t know what a thigh swivel is.

>>11480082
PIECE OF BULLSHIT

Realistically would better articulation have made any difference in dcmv failing or succeeding?

>>11480989
it wouldn't have saved the proportions, the insistence on slapping tons of texture on but painting none of it, or the extremely questionable character selection up until this year

>>11480989
no, its the scale, if it was 1/12, i guarantee you more people would be buying it and he probably would've kept the license for another 5 years.

>>11480989
Idk, but i doubt it. Articulation would be on the short list of things to do better next time he has the license.

>>11480989
No, the problem was the artificial scarcity, shitty chase variants, and stupid pegwarmer spam like vampires and jokerized reprints.

>>11481031
Reuse supports lines. The vampires and jokerized were clearly intended as easy repaints to try to keep the line going but failed because they are in poor taste or were low quality. Although vamp Hal was pretty good and had some fun effects. But most of the rest were easy pass.

>>11481025
He never will get it again, anon. Playmates has a better chance.

>>11481072
That's insane logic. People will only pay for products they want.
Nobody wanted that shit.

>>11481076
Todd has a bad idea of what people want. But that is what he tried. He could think of nothing else, except the mythical grapefruit, which we never got.

>>11481076
>People will only pay for products they want.
and products they think they can scalp, dont forget those, that's half of DC Multiverse now

>>11481079
I feel like he's surrounded by a team of retards who are either out of touch with what people want or are forcing their agenda. Like all the NFT shit absolutely nobody gives a fuck about. The people running that entire shitcoin run Todd's discord and it's only the same like half dozen people posting about them.

There's no real hype around the digital shit beyond speculators following the hype driven by the people running Todd's NFT platform and I could see them doing Wormtongue shit, telling Todd NFTs are still relevant and everyone will love them while they make a personal profit selling digital figures to speculators thinking they're betting on the next big thing.

>>11481081
Exactly.

>>11481084
I can tell the DC Direct and Mattel guys forcing their agendas. All the blue beetle buck reuse is clearly the Mattel guy trying to do what he does best with characters that haven't been relevant since the 1980s, or haven't ever been relevant.

DC Direct guy is probably behind all the DCD reissues, but from interviews he was harder to read although he seemed to be hinting at Power Girl coming in 2024 so maybe he is a female character booster.

>>11481087
Reusing bucks for generic bodies is fine, especially when most of them are guys in tights. The bigger issue is the slide towards these being collectable investments instead of being toys.
That's a different kind of market, it isn't an experience for customers buying toys it's more like speculating on baseballs on ebay. Gross.

Migrate to the next thread (that actually has news posted) when ready: >>11481094

>>11481092
Reuse is needed but generic bodies really leads to a lack of variety in the line. Most figures feel the same.

I will say the 'investment'/scarcity/scalping angle is a worse problem as Marvel Legends right now is the more interesting line because at least the figures can be bought for less than a kidney on ebay.

But I don't like the idea of most characters having to be guys in spandex because those are the molds they have.

Yeah I'm not a fan of reuse but I see the practical reasons for it, and as long as it isn't overly done like He-Man then it's fine every once in a while.

One of the biggest misses was not making army builders like parademons or intergang agents. We're also missing important characters like Zatanna, and we're getting Kite Man and another Deathstroke before Parasite, Livewire, or a Metallo that isn't confusingly awful.

SDCC Teen Titans Beast Boy. lmao.

This is why I fear Mattel. While they do new sculpts in Masterverse, and I do dabble in that line, there is a heavy amount of obvious reuse as they always have done. I can't see them cutting back on it for a licensed property. I imagine they will see the tariffs at the set rates, and the huge fee they will be paying to WB/DC to get the license back and immediately begin structuring their line to do maximum reuse to maximize profit.

What the fuck is that thing in the middle.

>>11481109
Looks like a 40yo Virgin movie statue. I can't believe anyone bought that

>>11480567
it's super mid

>>11481076
It's unironically true though. He's not wrong.

>>11481171
He's right, I'm saying that whoever thought turning them into vampires and jokers would sell was insane.

>>11481175
If it wasn't Todd it had to be someone of the 'old' McFarlane mindset since thats the kind of weird taste McFarlane Toys tended to have

>>11481072
I agree that reuse is just a part of the game, id rather not buy just a total repainted figure but it happens. I also want to agree that the bizarro, vampire, jokerized etc figures have been the lowest effort offerings ive seen. But vampire hal is dope, a real stand out figure if you were to ask my opinion on the subject.

>>11481251
I don't get why so many of the posters here get so upset about reuse. As long as it's appropriate reuse, which in my opinion, it is like 90% of the time nowadays, then it isn't a big deal. Expecting and wanting everything to be uniquely sculpted is just dumb.

>>11481278
It's a game of degrees. It's hard to convey how much reuse each of us think is acceptable.

I assume the Armored Hal and Gordon reuse are examples of fine reuse.

The recent Eradicator is still ruined by reuse with those sculpted boot lines and silly looking diaper.

Nightmaster is an example of a character that is totally ruined by reuse. He could've looked cool if he was chain mailed up, instead they just tampo some crap on him and call it a day

>>11481278
reuse sucks because if you want source accurate figures, you'll never get them. Then again I don't buy domestic so it's not much of a problem for me.

>>11481310
Import does reuse too

>>11481312
yea but its always the same character, you dont see a goku buck on vegeta or gohan.

>>11481102
you’re the genuine fucking retard that thinks a ball in the hip that doesn’t actually turn the thigh inward or out constitutes a thigh swivel
fucking moron. what state, please, I’m beggin ya, be close

>>11481384
Not him but you have never taken a mcfarlane figure apart have you? They do not have balls at the hips

>>11481393
They also don’t have a thigh swivel

>>11481384
other than robin figures, they don't have balls at the hip and they do have thigh swivels. you have no clue what you're trying to talk about. kill yourself

Used both inward and outward thigh rotation for this.

You don’t know what a thigh swivel is.

those look like shit

>thigh swivels don't exist unless it's a straight cut through the sculpt
it's literally a thigh swivel. it's a peg and socket in both cases. you are a fucking moron.

>>11481499
>hips and thighs are the same
Idiot. Complete fuckin moron.

>>11481494
>>11481495
>>11481496
>>11481497
Those are "thigh cuts" as they cut through the sculpt to achieve the action of "thigh swivel". The McFarlane thigh swivel is inside the leg. It doesn't achieve the same range but doesn't cut the sculpt.

>>11481500
the swivel is literally in the same place as your examples you fool. are you fucking blind?

When McFarlane loses the DC licence, What are they even gonna do next?

>More Spawn
>Movie ips
>Anime (He doesn't deserve doing these,The My Hero Academia was horrendous,Demon Slayer was decent but he should stay away from Japan ips and stick to western)
>Come up with a original line of characters (He possibly won't do that)
He still has Movie Maniacs which was his good area of his company but I feel that he should drop and retire and let someone else take his place.Todd is possibly in his 50s/60s and I don't know if his company will survive in the 2030s.

Dragon Ball.

>>11481503
There is no “thigh swivel”
It is in the HIP and does not provide the same action as a proper thigh swivel
A PEG that attaches the leg to the hip is not a thigh swivel, and the range of these figures proves it
If you want to argue that not having a thigh swivel (which they do not) improves the aesthetic of the figures by not having an additional obvious cut in the sculpt, I’m willing to hear that and possibly agree
but what the McFarlane DC figures have is not a fucking thigh swivel
You idiot

>>11481508
it's the same joint in the same place you fucking fool. it's identical peg and socket engineering

>>11481508
>what the McFarlane DC figures have is not a fucking thigh swivel
kill yourself you toyless fool

>>11481508
Figuarts used to have hte same style of thigh swivel for like a decade.

I swear, you people who bitch don't own any toys and are probably just AI.

>>11481507
Bandai owns the license to make Dragon Ball figures,We have SH Figuarts,Did you even read the green text about the Anime part.

>>11481499
What version is the Batman on the left?

>>11481802
thats the detective #1000 version from the first wave of dcmv

Wasn't this supposed to be on a stolen truck or something? There's tons of her at every Walmart I go to
