I've monitored the Cyborg Superman situation on ebay. Many scalpers I have seen list the figure before just keep listing more and more copies over the days. Yesterday a scalper had 7+ of the figure in stock. Where are they getting all these? From my experience with the figure once a Walmart sells out, they don't get anymore restocks of it. So what is going on? What's your view?

News:
-Superman Movie figure endcaps in random Walmart Electronics departments if you want them.
-Spinmaster Superman movie figures in stores and online, some on sale already.
-Misc. Superboy/Wonder Woman Page Puncher wave preorders up; standard DCMV Batman heavy wave with another Azbat variant and No Man's Land inspired Digital wave preorders coming soon (but no wire on that Batman cape!).

What happened to all those missing Killing Joke Jokers? Why doesn't Hasbro or Mattel have those kinds of problems?

>>11481094 (OP)
They get off their ass and actually go to Walmart. No, not order online. They go inside Walmart and over to the electronics section and pick it up. My Walmart had two left last week when I got mine.

>>11481096
>why don't billion dollar multinationals have the same problems as indie studios
Smartest mousecuck.

>>11481492
Is Todd indie?

>>11481486
I was one of the lucky ones to get it off of Walmart site but now 3rd part seller is wanting $60

>>11481592
The third party sellers are cancer

>>11481592
There was a person selling old mattel knock off cyborgs. I also got a restock email informing me i could buy a cyborg superman for $60.
Has anyone got a hold of the new bizarro? Its power girl levels of scarce for me. Oh, when does hawkgirl ship? I havent heard anything about her since the pre order party.

>>11481492
>Todd
>Indie
Smartest Snyderbot.

>>11481525
Yeah.

>>11481486
I went to Walmart. They had 4 platinum blue "original" Spawns and the Superman movie junk. Nothing else.

>>11481702
I saw task force variant, rat city spawn and the movie stuff last time i checked. I mean, i did find a cyborg superman but that was a previous trip.

>>11481505
After DC he will need to decrease his output even more to avoid getting into a situation where retailers won't take his figures anymore, which would put his cash flow in a very bad spot.

The Spawn line is already screwed, he can barely make any because he alienated stores since the past figs had a lot of peg warming and went on sale. Bad character choices partly led to this, like Haunt, King Spider, Reaper, etc. rather than focusing on nostalgic characters and classic looks. The Deviant from the Rat City book is the latest one digitally peg warming for $30 at various places. The figure market is different than the 90s and early 00s--cool stuff doesn't sell anymore.

Movie statues seemed to go on deep discount as well. Maybe some sold but others did not.

The anime lines seem to sell enough to persist but they can never really be big enough to be a main focus.

His next strategy is already clear: overpriced $60 'elite' figures like Lilith, Doomguy and Purse Owner 3 protag. He's going deeper into scarcity baiting and chasing figures as an "investment." These will likely be riskier and hit or miss and could cause issues if he miscalculates demand. Protag from P3 has already proved to be a bad choice as it didn't sell out. Stores won't stand for $60 peg warmers.

>>11481717
Does it matter if he's selling $100 toys if he can only make 100 of them at a time? The ship is sinking

>>11481713
>task force variant, rat city spawn and the movie stuff
Yeah pretty much all low interest stuff sadly. Stores don't really stock enough for McFarlane to be putting out low interest figures like Task Force wave based on a video game from the 90s few played and Rat City Spawn which is basically a figure that is an ad for one of his new comics in "Spawn Universe"

He should be focusing on sure sellers. And that does not mean only Batman, since some of the Batmen he has put out recently are not even sure sellers, like the cowboy Batman.

>>11481726
He's probably in the 10k-15k range as he has said in the past. The Chinese factories will not let you make extremely low quantities without paying penalty fees, which makes doing so less than desirable. He is probably making at or around MOQ for the factories he uses.

>>11481737
>The Chinese factories
You forget, todd has his own special factory in his compound.

>>11481786
I thought the feds raided and shut down his compound? Something about missing walmart managers i think?

>>11481867
nah feds have been too busy deporting Mexicans and prosecuting judges for lettin rapists walk free

>>11481867
yeah
no reynolds gl
no dean cain supes
no linda carter wondy
no nicholoson jokester

>>11481867
McFarlane Toys HQ has been closed indefinitely because the feds are investigating them. Per the insider, they weren't able to reopen by the first of the month and meet WB approval deadlines so all of these >>11481871 can't be produced and released before Todd loses the license.

Here's a picture of Todd promoting his toys for the big multimillion dollar DC movie from his bedroom. Last week he was seen harassing customers at Walmarts, telling them about his $60 elite collectible pieces before a manager told him to leave.

>>11481871
>no reynolds gl
You keep saying this as if it’s a bad thing
Literally
No
One

Literally
No
One
Is nostalgic for it
If they wanted figures from it they would have bought the stuff that pegwarmed for six months in 2011

>>11481939
ryan reynolds is cool now
we want green deadpool

>>11481871
None of these will be gotten to, and it doesn't matter much as anyone thinks. Reynolds GL was a failed movie, Dean Cain's show was like a soap opera with a super hero theme, Linda Carter is too long ago for zoomzooms and even most Millennials to remember, and Jack's likeness is too expensive.

>>11481945
Wrong.

>>11481971
Jack's likeness. You know it. You know the famous "JOKER" but you cannot copy his likeness, for it is owned by him. But do you own the figures you buy? Or your digital NFTs? Actually you do not. Jack owns your figures, because they contain his likeness. Jack owns everything.

Face plates are a way to skimp on the consumer's value. Mafex used to do entire 3rd and 4th heads. Now every company is doing face plates to cut costs. So much greed.

>>11481981
I wouldn't be surprised if it's because a lot of retards buy toys and break the necks swapping heads, then bitch about it online and demand refunds. Face plates seem retard-proof, like everything these days.

>>11481981
,Mafex still does three heads or so. And companies like figma and bandaid have been doing faceplates for more than a decade. Nice self report newfags.

>>11481981
What value does getting the same back of the head 3 or 4 times add?

>>11481997
It doesn't have Frankenstein gaps around the face.

>>11482000
but it's an action figure it has cuts all over it

>>11482000
and? there's model kits out there that have the face plates sit quite well and look flush, but I understand Americans user a rubbery plastic that look low quality thus fitting issues prevent a clean look

>>11482000
This has never been a problem on any figure i've bought that has faceplates. Simply push it in better.

Why doesn't anyone use articulated jaw plates so you can open and close their mouths?

>>11482007
Because they're not robots

>>11482007
it's been done

>>11482001
The face is the most important part of the figure

>>11482006
I see you've never bought a McFarlane with face plates kek

>>11482065
leaked poster for the next annabelle movie?

>>11482065
>never bought a McFarlane

>>11482058
Is that Scarface dressed up as the Joker or the Joker? I can't tell

Why did you reject swole mullet supes, anons?

>>11482090
No jaw hinge. Shit figgo.

>doll capes glorified as the next technological breakthrough
>nutcracker articulation completely ignored

>>11482096
i guess you'll be glad when doll capes go away with Mattel and you get back to shitty, unposable capes made of plastic that limits articulation and makes many poses look ridiculous by just sitting there unmoving.

>>11482096
Thisnis already stale bait anon. You need to try harder.

>>11482065
I can fix that. Hold still.

>>11482166
He was perfect, man..

>>11482090
hes genuinely terrifying

The spreading obsession with buying overpriced McFarlanes reminds me of the dancing manias of the middle ages.

>>11482463
We need some leeches, blood letting cups and some mandrake root to ease these foul humours.

People who define themselves as buyers on ebay will just keep buying. There's no way to stop them from buying overpriced figures. They have more money than they know what to do with

Todd Labubu

Why do you guys insist on melting down and spouting literal nonsense like >>11482496 when other people spend their money the way they want? Get some help. Jesus.

>>11482507
It distorts the market and makes figures more expensive for everyone else. Todd sees $$$ and raises his prices to $35 a figure

>>11482524
It literally doesn't work that way you retard, why do so many people think this?

>>11482552
Yeah sure, bro, if figures were selling for MSRP or less on ebay, Todd surely would have the balls to raise his prices to $34

>>11482555
Toy companies don't pay attention to ebay prices. You people are retarded. Todd needs to charge more because he runs lower production runs of figures, lower production runs cost more per figure to produce. He's not doing it because some retard is paying ebay prices, if that were the case he'd be charging $60 for his figures.

>>11482564
>Toy companies don't pay attention to ebay prices
Sorry, anon, but you are wrong in the case of Todd. Todd has talked about ebay prices on his toys in his interviews. He is well aware of the prices and combined with his sales data, they enable him to realize there is some leeway for him to raise prices.

> if that were the case he'd be charging $60 for his figures.
Oh sorry I didn't realize you were making a joke post, choosing $60 was the perfect red flag.

Was this color combo literally only ever used on the Azrael toy and that's why there's no art of it and they had to just reuse the previous Azrael art?

Toys are the new Bitcoin.

>>11482635
When does this go up for scalping? Ive heard july 8 and july 9 for the next batch of sold out figures.

>>11482659
Hard to know for sure since Todd's company offices are still closed and under investigation.

>>11482659
I thought it was July 9 for Azrael?

>>11482687
Todd doesn't really care about release dates.

>>11482688
The scalpers all know the exact release date so you have to as well. Like they knew exactly the day and hour red Cyborg Superman would be put up in stores in my area. By the time I got there they were all gone and all that was left was Dirty Movie Superman, transparent Eradicator (who will probably start breaking apart in years) and the New 52 Supes that is totally inaccurate.

>>11482691
Don't forget the preorders that sell out in ten seconds but then scalpers on ebay somehow get entire cases of them.

>>11482706
All part of the game

>>11482742
Was that $60 Persona 3 figure not selling out part of Todd's game too?

>>11482771
Gee it sure looks the same to me

>>11482687
I did too. Ugh
>>11482688
Hey, after 30+ years of running a company who are we to judge todds buisness practices?
>>11482755
Yes.

>>11482569
i was shocked when i saw that thing show up on BBTS. It looks worse than those 20 dollar anime figures. What is McFartLame smoking?

>>11482776
Thats called face blindness anon, these are two completely diffrent heads. Couldve gone the hasbro route and had a black guy alt head

>>11482782
Black Luthor?! Why hasn't anyone done that yet?

>>11482786
nvm harley quinn did.

Todd looks like he wants to sell me Superman toys that fell off the back of a truck.
this is an embarassing look for a professional toy man.

>>11482869
It's time to stop buying. This man has enough money.

>>11482869
lol I was thinking about using that frame for >>11481874 but wanted one with the bedroom door visible

>>11482569
The fuck is your McFartline dude ever doing? Is he retarded?
Look at this pic. Ignore ugly faces. Look at this RED EYES. There lterally zero scenes when this character has red eyes. Those should be fucking YELLOW. And with crazy smile. Yellow eyes in the moment of awakening is like trade mark of Persona series.
It seems one our local shitposters was right and burgers really can't make anything good this days.

>>11482965
When has McFarlane Toys last been on model, anon? 2004? Even for $60 they will not be on model. No matter how much people pay them they will never be competent again.

>>11482970
But this is just ridiculous.
>you want to compete with big foreign players like Bandai/GSC and their quality.
>your spent money on license.
>this is your first release.
And you fuck it up that hard.
Red eyes are print error of course. Probably. Maybe they even will be fixed.
But this rounded hair, off-model faces, the fucking PINS in the current year...
And the pricetag. 60 fucking dollars for this? There gone all my hopes for this new line.

>>11482995
They pay the money for a license because the license guarantees the sales. Not quality. Are Bandai and GSC even still making P3 main figures or are they aftermarket for like 200 bucks?

Almost all major domestic figure companies (with maybe the exception of Jada and the Four Horsemen), rely on their customer being stupid and buying something because its an IP the customer cares about, not due to the quality of the product.

>>11483002
>Are Bandai and GSC even still making P3 main figures
No. At least not action figures. Statues only. MaxFactory is currently reprinting some of P5 figmas but that's all.
That's why I was really looking for this "elite" line since announcement. What a waste.

>>11482970
Never, legit when has McF ever even been on model in the first place?

>>11482706
That's artificial fomo Todd drums up to entice fence sitters. It's the primary reason he has such small production runs compared to other companies.

>>11483011
Yeah, even at their best, I don't think McFarlane has been on model. Their Aliens/predators were considered some of the best, but they were never on model. Still, holy shit, look at how amazing they looked despite that.

And to be fair, almost no company is ever on model. I think only DC Direct and random gashapon/statueshit companies are good at keeping shit on model. Play Arts and Good Smile succeed most of the time too. Everyone else? Almost never.

Supposedly, McFarlane used the 3d game models to make their Halo figures, but none of the games ever looked that detailed. Maybe CGI stuff.

>>11483011
They were often on model for old Spawn stuff (sometimes with more details than the comics on some statues). That's why I said 2004

I just got back from Superman and I’m sorry to the anon I called a liar

It's the dog right? He's the center to it all.
Gunn knows the average mouthbreather will gasp if something happens to doggo.

Here's the plot :
Superman and Krypto play in the park.
Lex's thugs say "give us the dog, he can help us increase our Bitcoin wallets"
Superman says "no", they fight
Lex gets angry and wants that dog.
Lex goes to Superman's house and destroys Robot #4 to get the doggo.
Superman is angry, goes after Lex.
Lex shrinks him and puts him in his pocket.
Superman's friends punch Lex and Superman falls out of Lex's pocket.
Lex gets on a helicopter and says "I'll get you next time Superdork!" and flies away.
Linkin Park's "What I've Done" plays after Superman gives an ending monologue.

>>11483209

So you don't look at a rollercoaster before riding it? You just have your eyes closed the whole time until you're in the seat?

give me spoilers. knowing the plot doesn't mean I'll like the movie.

>>11481874
>>11482956
Yeah, I thought it was jarring when the promo video went from Gunn in a well lit studio with promo goods to McFarlane in his bedroom with a bad mic setup.

So odd and yet it seems add to the rumor the closed-office floating around...

>>11483212
I'll wait until RLM or Jeremy Jahns tells me what to think. Then I'll see the movie lol

>>11483224
Lex instigates a war and draws Superman in the middle of it to paint him as a threat to the world, then uses his goons to capture him and Krypto in his pocket dimension that he uses as a prison. Lois and the Justice fags find it when Lex's bimbo gf sexts Jimmy Olsen. Big dumb fight between Superman and clone, Lex goes to prison.

>>11483224
Read this, it's close enough:
>>11483209

>>11483230
And that’s only like 30 minutes of the movie

>>11483236
Yeah the rest of it is shitty "humor" and outsourced pajeet CGI

This got me to re-pre-order my Luthor I cancelled. I hate the S but the way this guy talks about the character makes me think the movie might be alright. Worse case scenario I'll have two bald guys in suits and one can be Lex and the other can be Grant Morrison.

Yes, it is a link to twitter

>>11483734
Ordered Hawk Girl from Walmart and she comes tomorrow. I haven't really had an issue with them so far aside from them cancelling an order for page punchers Shazam. They gave me a $10 off coupon so I got Hawkgirl for under $30, I really can't complain.

>>11483932

Gunn needs no have someone to tell him no to making everyone comedic tho

>>11484010
They didn't even start showing up at Walmarts in my area until July. Literally 0 in May or June. Gamestop had early access to Hank. But probably west coast walmarts had him in June

>>11484050
The fact that they had to do that with Batman means they are already desperate. It's not a sign of strength, but weakness.

>>11484063
Movie was fine but if criticism is not taken into account with future installments in this universe it will crash and burn quickly leaving only Batman. Honestly his inclusion works and it opens the door for cooler shit in the Batman 2.

>>11484106
What will happen to Batman: The Brave and the Bold? Wasn't Gunn supposed to have his own Batman?

My local Wal-Mart finally put out their Superman movie figure display over the weekend. When I got there this afternoon, out of three cardboard box holders on three shelves, they had sold out of everyone but Superman/Krypto, Superman robot, battle damaged Ultra-Man, and both Mr Terrifics.

They also still had two Jades, JLU colors Deadshot, regular Adam Strange, and the Atom/Green Arrow/Superman NTF wave.

I got Cyborg Superman, Year One Batman, and Commissioner Gordon by pure luck a month ago. Still on the fence on getting Jade since she's in the stupid 00s Outsiders costume and not her McFarlane/Ordway costume. Is she worth getting?

>>11484155
Sounds like you got lucky and got all the walmart figures worth getting and none of the garbage. And I really doubt Jade is worth it given she's just reuse of Catwoman. It's a boring mold. If these were the old days and McFarlanes dropped to 12 bucks I might consider it for that but Jade will never drop that low.

>>11484155
I'd get Jade purely to flip her on Ebay as she's going for big scalper price ($60-80).

The figure is kind of shitty; instead of regular energy effects, she has energy blasts that replace her actual hands. Also, we aren't getting the rest of Infinity Inc, so if you can pass on her.

>>11484253
The whole line was so poorly thought out, it's ridiculous.

So when Mattel gets the line, what are the odds for who are part of the first wave? And will they bring back the BAF figure for the waves?

>>11484253
We are getting Mr Bones and the Hourman figure can pass as Hourman II as can the film version of Atom Smasher. And if you are froggy, you can pass off Injustice Dr Fate off as Silver Scarab as Dr Fate.

>>11484253
>I'd get Jade purely to flip her on Ebay as she's going for big scalper price ($60-80)
why do you people lie about these things

Seeing the movie with the gf on Thursday and going offline to avoid spoilers. Hawkgirl arrives tomorrow.

>the new digital wave Batman doesn't have a wired cape
I have zero sympathy with this shitty company losing the license. Could have been the best Batman release so far and yet they fuck it up this hard.
Anyone know when the Platinum hits preorders? Only interested in Black and Yellow Bats since he's definitely better than the stupid Three Jokers Black and Yellow one

>>11484358
If you ordered from Walmart, Hawkgirl gets canceled tomorrow. If you ordered from anywhere else you have a chance.

>>11484467
Unless you're in Europe or some weird country, Platinums don't get preorders. You have to buy a whole case pack to guarantee one (too late, EE is sold out), or you have to buy a ton and hope you get one randomly.

>>11484296
I seriously do not know how these people make money on this or why they even bother. I've sold platinums that Todd's shitty retailers sent me instead of what I wanted on ebay so I know how little you get from a sale.

Ebay takes 13.6% of the sale. If they sell it at $40, 5.44 goes to ebay. Then they're doing free shipping to the buyer, so they have to pay for the shipping, so given Todd's jumbo sized 7" figures, that's like $6-11 depending on how far the buyer is from them in the US. Then the figure itself cost them $25. Best case scenario, that totals 36.44 in costs. That gives them $3.56 in profit. What is the point of that?

So, I went to the Amazon Prime early access screening last night. I really enjoyed it. Moreso than Man of Steel. Definitely not on the same level as the Donner films, but Gunn definitely gets the character, moreso than anyone in this thread seems to think. The film wasn't without it's issues, they soften Lex up a little too much, Hollywood reallly needs to get over making villains sympathetic. The two warring countries being stand ins for Israel and Palestine was a little on the nose and could've done with a dose of subtlety, but you can't expect Hollywood to understand subtle. Then you have a little too much of the signature Gunn humor sprinkled in at kind of weird times, but it wasn't awful. Overall my gripes are just nitpicks. The scenes of Clark yelling and getting frustrated definitely work better when viewed in the context of the whole film and scene. Overall, it was good. Felt a lot like an issue of All Star Superman. It was good. Haters gonna hate though.

>>11483738
god, I can't wait for mattel's pinless faceprinted 6 inch figures. Todd's stubborness to no adapt to new figure tech astounds me.

>>11484358
>>11484513
I havent heard jack about my hawkgirl, i used paypal on MTS but ive never ordered from them before so idk what their practices are about emailing shipping dates or possible cancellations.

>>11484573
Mcfarlane Toys Store usually ships early since they are typically the first to get the figures so I'd email their customer service if the release/estimated delivery date has passed

>>11484531
There's money to be made. You just gotta have the right figure.

>>11484563
>mattel's pinless faceprinted 6 inch figures

7 inch like masterverse

>>11484579
Yes of course something like that will make money. But 97% of figures are not that. So I don't get why the scalpers even bother with most figures. I feel like it's Todd tricking them into buying the figures with things like platinum, red platinum "collectors edition," "Elite Edition" silly marketing to get them to think the figure will be worth more than like 5 bucks of profit to them. Sometimes it will but most times it won't.

>>11484576
I checked my emails, and its just the confirmation and order number. I had a good chuckle, i saw my knightfall batman order and thats the figure that got me on board with this line. I had bought a few figures already but knightfall was the one where i began actively looking for multiverse figures.
>>11484582
Well yeah, you gotta remember todd was a huge deal during the comic book speculator days so slapping silly names on boxes or covers and saying limited edition is just kinda todds bread and butter marketing. How many versions of spiderman #1 did marvel print for example?

Monarch is double packed for some reason. Get ready for the next massive shelf warmer, coming to a store near you.

Why do you think no one wanted Cowardly Lot Batman?

>>11484591

I can't believe it bros.... I have tears in my eyes. James Gunn did it.... Superman is back.

Can I ask about imports here or just go to the respective threads and ask? I’m looking for a Batman and I’m deciding between Revoltech Arkham knight bats or mafex Snyder justice league bats

>>11484752
Most people in these threads don't collect imports. I do, but I personally don't have either figure in question. However, based on other figures from those lines I can say that the Revoltech will pose better, but it will definitely take some getting used to since the articulation scheme isn't similar to other lines. The Mafex will be good too and pose fine, just not quite as dynamically. Just get whichever one you prefer design wise, both are probably fine figures.

Bag secured.

>>11484752
I'd go for the Revoltech but I admit that I detest Snyder.

>>11484550
Kill yourself shill
We already know Gunn filled the movie with his anti-American politics and made Superman woke so you and your tranny cult can fuck off

>>11484778
Ah, a knee jerk reaction that doesn't even make sense in response to the post he was replying to. Typical Snyderjeet.

>>11484773

>>11484778
>Superman woke
I....don't understand what that even means. You're just trolling right?

>>11484773
i dont get how people can stand the WW buck. The shoulder cuts and the knee cuts show such little effort when making the cuts and no attempt to change or clean up the joint after. Its frightening people will pay scalper prices for such poor quality just because "It's Wonder Woman" or "It's Hawkgirl"

>>11484849
My friend, we all know that multiverse figures arent that great. Let the man rnjoy what he enjoys. Be happy that anon has something to help him ignore life for a few moments.

instead of watching superwoke I marathoned the Zack Snyder trilogy and my impression is that Cyborg got fucked over the most out of any character, yes he had more scenes but they amount to getting his dad killed and sticking with the shitty skeleton look forever, it's not fucking fair.
so I gotta say I liked the Whedon ending better and I'm not watching superwoke.

>>11484773
She’s pretty huge with the wingspan
>>11484849
Yes..frightening

>>11484860
>Enjoying the happy ending full of studio lies over cold, hard reality and the auteur's vision

You might like Gunn's Superman more than you think

>>11484874
It's just Batman who laugh's wings. Remember Death Metal? Remember when DC Multiverse stood for something and wasn't just a "CLASSIC LOOK" factory?

>>11484898
Death Metal was crappy edgelord stuff and you know it.

the best shit about all the Superman promotion is that even David Coronswet is shitting on the McFart faces and saying he would prefer to have a LEGO of the movie to build with his kids.
https://youtu.be/u8zoxUlFo7E?si=vmJkJ9f8h_8t94jb&t=917

>>11484909
Yeah, it was great kek >>11482771

>>11484752
Revoltech is going to have different looks, even when they might be trying to match a comic book or a movie version. You are going to get more of an anime inspired product, by and large. Mafex, of that particular version, will give you a very distinct looking bats (for that matter, the particular revoltech you name checked would as well) and one thing to keep in mind, even beyond scaling, that if you already own or think you will ever get other DC (or even other lines) of action figures, how either of these will look with those.

Otherwise, both are generally safe bets as far as manufacturers so go for the best price, since neither are new, there's no reason you cannot wait and look around to find the best possible price.

>>11484902
I am that edgelord.

>>11484760
>>11484775
>>11484917
Thanks Anon you’ve given me much to consider. I’m more familiar with yamaguchi/revoltech as I don’t have any mafex figs but I do want to dip my toe. I’ll watch some more reviews and come to a decision thanks again

>>11484773
Nice

>>11484909
Based cornhole dabbing on Todd’s pieces

>>11484773
At what cost?

>>11484909
He also thinks the hot toys looks like shit Kek

Look at this Supermanlike creature, rendered in stunning plastic. There is something uncanny about him. What is wrong? We may never know.

I wonder if Todd is mad at Cornsweet for dissing his figures. Was it something they told him to do because of the mattel license?

>>11485109
I think only Hoult was happy with action figure and he's had several now, not just Beast but also for Mad Max and, I think a few other things, but that's mainly because they actually used his likeness and Hoult thought it was a good one.

>>11484909
Guy's a massive Star Wars fan, so he probably has a bunch of sets.

Justice League main lineup

Justice League secondary lineup

>>11484598
It's a figure based on a recent run that doesn't have a lot of good will from fans. Not hard to figure out.

>>11485426
>>11485427
These look great! This is the best I could do as far as a JL team goes. Mainly because I could never find ahit in stores and I refuse to pay scalper prices for figures like WW and Hawk Girl.

>>11485612
>>11485426
>>11485427
Im retarded and forgot my pic. Oopsie

>>11485507
Looks like any other batman. Do people just buy based on the storyline on the box?

>>11485426
>>11485427
The figures are great. Just a piece of advice - look a bit into posing figures. There's great Youtube videos on it how you can do some really great dynamic poses even with McFarlanes. And maybe you can get some cheap stands from Aliexpress because not using one for Flash is almost a crime

>>11485612
>I refuse to pay scalper prices for figures like WW
I know that feel. Unfortunately, I'm probably churning out the 100€ when the Wonder Woman + Goji 2 pack hits the market. Unless I find Wondy really cheap on the second hand market

>>11485696
That's a better WW anyways since its using the movie WW buck

MSRP on standard Toddslop just went up again from 24.99 to 26.99. This company is collapsing.

Thanks anon

>>11486002
I grew up on the Justice Leauge cartoon, so John Stewart is my go to Green Lanturn and always will be. Aqualad had to take Aquaman's place since all the Aquaman figures Todd released look like shit.

>>11486019
The igital one looks ok. Ive seen them at walgreens for $12 but im not a real aquaman fan.

>>11486032
Nah, it looks retarded with a baby face. The Aquaman from the Plastic Man BAF has a great head sculpt, but I hate the costume. The costume from endless winter figure looks good, but I hate the retarded offset eyes. The perfect one for me would be the endless winter head on the plastic man BAF body, but I refuse to buy two figures in the hopes that the skin tones match to make a decent figure for a character I dont even like much anyway.

>>11486019
>>11485613
I love Total Justice too, anon, I like how you can tell you grew up with TJ and the JL cartoon. The Impulse and the Predator armor Batman are a giveaway lol

I warned you guys about going to ghetto walmarts and targets for your mcfarlanes. Action figure collecting ain't no joke.

He is probably thinking about having a kid and lego is a much better piece for a babby to play with than a hot toys©.

>>11486244
Legos aren’t for kids anymore and you obviously don’t have kids if you think giving any child 3 and under a Lego is a good idea.

Talk to you all about my experience

And ive been doing this for a few years now. Id rarher just lie on reddit about first finding a multiverse figure that every scalper wants, then being almost killed by a grumpy thief instead since that sounds easier.
>bacon the narwhale

>>11486280
I've only ever found a figure I was looking for in a Target or Walmart 2 times. It's really an inefficient way of purchasing compared to online orders. Better to just get in a preorder and if you can't then just pretend the figure doesn't exist.

>>11486265
>Katana
Brother, didn't you see the police video where they just shoot the guy dead? His katana did nothing for him. DC Multiverse collectors need to start arming themselves and getting training. You may need to set aside a few months worth of figure money to get yourself a nice used police Glock for $300 but it'll be worth it.

>>11484773
I saw this (and two of the platinum variants) at Walmart earlier today and just couldn't pull the trigger. Its bad enough its 35 dollars, but the figure itself just looked so shitty...

GEE TODD, sure is a lot of SPACE in that BOX for $35.

Whoa Todd, 2 extra hands and an extra head? Don't go broke giving us all that value for $35!

>>11486305
>Its bad enough its 35
Yeah I can’t bring myself to do it

>>11486372
>>11486317
This is Todd's last hurrah before Mattel gives us basic detail for $25

Enjoy this era while it lasts cause quality is gonna take a dive from next year...

>>11486314
Gotta have room for that one piece bow accessory!

>>11486379
The box is his standard size so it's gotta look full.

The funny part is all boxes say the figure has 22 points of articulation when that hasn't been the case a few times..

>>11486314
Yeah, ree space at $25 a pop. Just open up the figure and your free space expands. Its kinda building up free space for a patio if you invest in mcfarlane toys the right way.

>>11486400
I'm surprised false advertising is legal

>>11486376
Wrong.

Superman was pretty good. The baby kaiju and Joey make no sense being toys though. Like...what a dumb waste of plastic.

That was part of my point. It's just another Batman, so without nostalgia or hype connected to it, it's bound to be passed over.

>Do people just buy based on the storyline on the box?
Some do, though obviously personal preference is going to be the major deciding factor.

Am I missing something or why the fuck are those Collector Editions? CEs are supposed to give additional hands and all different types of accessories, no?

>>11486523
I mean the baby Kaiju makes sense but Baby Joe really wasn't that integral to the movie. The movie was fun though, saw it last night

>>11486724
Looks like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, ffs

>>11486897
CEs are meant to grant Todd more money. That is their one and only true purpose. As always.

>>11486918
I usually don't condone violence but I would love to see someone beat the everloving shit out of Todd

>no giant middle finger construct for the display

SIGH

>>11486314
>>11486317
Looking at these again really does just remind me that previous collector editions atleast had hands or face plates. I hope mattel can be consistent with ripping me off.

>>11486919
Maybe it’d fix his faggy lisp

>>11486987
>I hope mattel can be consistent with ripping me off.
This I can guarantee but you won’t feel ripped off.

There was once a man named Todd who made an action figure of Gorilla Grodd.

>>11486994
Are you really an insider anon? Or is this more total justice nonsense?

>>11487003
I’m not going to claim to be anything like unlike that annoying faggot the ran off what I assume was a real mcfarlane employee with his constant bullshit mocking him. Just keep your ears to the ground during comic con.

I'd rather he spoil at least the price but no one knows that yet. Price will determine if i give mattel the time of day. $25 or less, ok. Any higher? No way. not having another Todd Greed festival.

>>11487162
Cornsweet has pinned knees. You heard it here first.

>>11487204
Yeah, i understand that. If i knew how much the m.a.s.k stuff was before hand i would not have bothered being excited. Mattel has been pretty solid about prices, origins has only gone up by dollar or so each year for example. Id be ok with $30 if the value is there or if the quality of figures could justify the price. Im really curious if mattel will have any announcement about their plans for dc at comic con.

>>11487054

Insider here
These orders arent fufilled by the stores themselves nor its associates. Ive been a sleeper agent for 4 years, posing an a acc tech just to understand and ultimately destroy walmart from with in. Ive never seen anyone ever do a fed ex order, not saying it doesnt happen, but after 4 years deep within their ranks ive never even overheard anyone mention picking orders for shipping. It could be that a delivery driver does that part but once again, i do oil changes and tires so while i know fed ex comes several times a day i think shipping orders are handled at the dc while delivery or pick up are store based.
>fuck you and your 20 inch tires faggot

>>11487450
Actual insider here. You won't have to worry about orders not being fulfilled when Spin Master's Total Justice line comes out.

>>11483738
Man I saw this post before seeing the movie and thought it was a spoiler. got my hopes up.

>>11487450
>>11487477
Just stop already

>>11487482
Stop discussing toys on a toy board? Fuck off, retard.

>>11487493
>>11487493
>>11487493

Never forget we had a proven insider here that would leak info and upcoming figures up until he got tired of the faggot OP.

>>11487497
Damn, I really miss those reposted screenshots of autistic wish lists from facebook.

>>11487494
What the hell is wrong with you?

>>11487502
Nope he gave exact waves even before they were listed on the Chinese sites along with posting images of figures that were coming that were always right. Adam strange was the last I can personally remember him doing not to mention he was saying mcfarlane lost the license months in advance of the official announcement.

>>11487511
Well if he wasn't a big baby faggot retard and actually liked DC toys he'd still be posting leaks instead of throwing a tantrum like a toddler.

>>11487511
I remember him saying there was going to be a task force wave in a certain timeframe then he moved the goalpost by saying it was delayed. Called him a larping fag but then it came out lol

>>11487494
Why do you make the new thread before the bump limit? Especially when we have multiple threads already not at the bump limit.

I also remember the power girl reveal being the last thread he was in. He made 2 or 3 threads leading to the reveal just to dab on Jarret. He was a good op. Had everything formatted like the marvel threads with info. Now it’s just Jarret’s dog shit display every thread.

>5 threads
>mods refuse to do anything about all the spam coming from a single person

>>11487519
Jarret was the Power Girl OP. He said he formatted the OPs because it was an excuse to include Power Girl in the post. When she sold out and cycled through retailers he dropped the formatted editions.

>>11487523
touch grass, lex

>>11487524
Yes he was power girl op and clearly still is the op but I don’t remember him attempting to format threads until after the power girl reveal thread that was the leaker not his. He also had a couple of threads before that were formatted. Jarret was talking shit about the op images and information in all of them and everyone was ignoring him and having actual conversations for once. I remember those threads so well because it wasn’t non stop shitposting and samefagging like the typical dc general

Are we moving to the next thread or what?

>>11487534
I was one of the people who tried to format the OP like I do the Marvel threads but then the regular OP here got upset and started making the threads before the old ones even hit the bump limit. At that point I gave up and just let him have it. Clearly this is important to him.

>>11487536
No we should move back to >>11471026 since it's at only line 250 posts. Just to spite the OP.

>>11487541
That’s a good idea, but that thread is autosaging since it’s over two weeks old

>>11487541
Moving back to another one of his threads
Somewhere should bite the bullet and set up a proper thread then we all go there to spite Jarret and then continue to only move to proper threads after that.

>>11487546
>he's spamming too many threads
>let's make another thread

>>11487548
Yes.

>>11487548
How does it feel to run a general where everyone hates you?

>>11487546
I would but I just can't be bothered to keep up with his nonsense. He will just throw a tantrum and bump his own thread and sperg out in the other one someone else makes. I already am the OP for the Marvel Thread, I don't need to keep up with the bullshit here.

Shipping orders just convert to delivery from store now. Walmart refuses to ship new McFarlane toys anymore to save money. That's why any new preorders there come from "McFarlane Collector club". There's still a few left in their warehouses but all new orders will be from stores.
