>Mongul when he's feeling devilish

>>11499151 (OP)
To be fair, most of the black light edition have had ugly colors. Mr Freeze is an exception though.

What's the countdown until McFarlane loses his license?

Also, anyone find a Superman Movie 6inch Hawkgirl at Walmart? She's hard to find nowadays...

>>11499151 (OP)
With the train wreck DCMV's prices and availability has become, it wouldn't surprise me if the last figures McFarlane released were Black Canary and Zatanna for $50, limited to 500, and with 1/2 chance of getting an unpainted platinum figure.

Looks like a test shot.

>>11499238
Unfortunately apparently he is going to be making Supergirl figures, and that movie comes out in JUNE 2026. We still have way too much time for Todd to shill his overpriced impossible to buy products.

I know we are small potatoes in the world of forums but is todd aware how mad the 5-6 of us are with the decision being made in multiverse? Can we elect an ambassador to meet with todd on our behalf?

>>11499318
There are plenty more people mad they can't get figures, not just here. There was a post in the past few threads noting a mcfarlane toys updates twitter with a lot of followers that literally quit because he hated the scarcity direction that made it impossible for him to actually collect the figures.

Todd is doing a Walmart Collector Con livestream on Friday so if you want to embarrass him you can try to ask a question about why he is making his figures so rare as to be impossible for his fans to buy

>>11499337
Oh yeah, i read that post on twitter.
I am off on friday, lol, i could politely ask why its become impossible for many of us to get a figure. Id rather ask who the fuck greenlights shit like fucking black light figures.
Who the fuck has a black light anyways? Some stoner kid smoking dirt weed in high school? Am i meant to take my black light figures out with me when i play lazer tag or maybe use then when i larp a csi episode? I just dont get it.

>>11499151 (OP)
Why are you making new threads far before even bump limit much less image limit? Why are you such a retard? Nobody is trying to steal the next OP from you, just stop spamming the board.

>>11499355
The figures come with the black stands if you look at all their pictures.

The reason why he does the black light figures is just to be able to reuse molds to get some extra money out of them--as mold/tooling is a huge part of the cost of figure manufacturing. Now why they chose those horrible colors, that's really unknowable.

>>11499361
He knows I would steal the next OP from him and actually update the news rather than copy pasting the previous news.

>>11499362
*The figures come with the black light stands

it’s not just fomo though. the first concerted effort to sell his stuff—the Superman movie figures—are having their endcaps pulled at Wal-Mart. the endcaps that were placed near the shitty digital cameras and DVDs, not the toy aisle, but a display endcap nonetheless. not even two weeks since the successful film was released. so not only can he not meet relatively meager collector demand, he apparently has zero clout with the biggest retailer in the country. hope you found Hawkgirl and TE Superman with Krypto on the first day cause they scalper only now.

>>11499376
Endcaps cost money from McFarlane to "buy" that space, anon. While electronics space is cheaper than toy aisle endcap space, he doesn't have the needed funds to keep it going. He probably did the absolute minimum DC demanded of him. Also toys are only to promote the movie and most funds are made close to opening.

Amazon trying to sell the biggest peg warmer of the Superman movie figures for "only" $29.99.

Corporations are shameless.

>>11499318
>meet with todd
Whoever gets chosen, they'll be forever be banished to todd's land and never be found again.

Martha

>>11499318
Send our Justice League. Supermanon, Batmanon, and the Guyfag. I'd watch that stream just to see them shout over Todd and argue about doll capes and who has the dustiest collection.

>>11499362
Oh, well in full honesty ive never really looked into the figures so i apologize for being ill informed. Todd really should add some black light velvet cards or some incense to further enhance these limited releases. I wouldnt bat an eye if mcfarlane toys just picked a high volume back stock figure and just had them repainted.
Imagine a black light, jokerized bizarro figure guys! Maybe use max mercury to test the idea out, maybe make it a red platinum release.

>Todd thinks his name is worth shit
for a tier 5 reward I would expect Zack Snyder's signature but holy fuck, TODD.
IMO this is a very mid campaign only because I know these figures would sell well enough on their own and there's no need to Haslab this.

good to see the shit is already at 50%. Todd knows they're THE best movie versions of these characters, after all.

>>11499695
WB would probably veto any ZS involvement. I'm surprised these figures were allowed to be made. They most likely will be the last ever BVS figures for decades until the DCU is rebooted again.

>some guy is selling CE Wonder Woman (Classic version) for 15€
>It's only the figure with zero accessories
Goddammit, what a monkey's paw. Not even alternate hands

>>11499737
I'd buy it if I didn't already have the full thing

>>11499397
I love the cheaper and probably more interesting figure under it. What else should they have included? Baby Joey?>>11499737
That shit is so annoying not even a lasso.

>>11499397
I haven't seen him in stores once wtf is my luck

>>11499740
But no accessories? All the other Wonder Woman figures have coloured/glove hands. No gripping hands means I can't use swords etc if I get them from other WW figures. There's no winning here

>>11499751
Exactly. Dunno what the fuck the guy did to all the shit that came with her

>>11499151 (OP)
No, Todd, I actually DON'T want to buy a crappy Godzilla figure to get a Rebirth Wonder Woman. Fuck's sake. Man's just leaving money on the ground at this point.

>>11499751
The figure under it is interesting but its articulation isn't too good.

IMO Metamorpho did not justify being made as a toy, his slot should've been Lois.

If they wanted another accessory he should've had the Kryptonite arm though, at least that would've been useful to reproduce a scene.

>>11499778
>But no accessories? All the other Wonder Woman figures have coloured/glove hands. No gripping hands means I can't use swords etc if I get them from other WW figures. There's no winning here
Hawkgirl is the same arms with only slight changes like different bracers, isnt she? If you have Hawkgirl her gripping hands might fit. Also people sell fodder hands for McFarlanes, which would still with 15 euros be cheaper than buying a complete WW CE at over 100

>>11499751
>Joey
>squiggle man parts
>KRYPTONITE HAND FFS
>more than two lousy extra hands
I mean cmon

>>11499791
Why do I see others complain about 2 packs here but when I complain about 2 packs in Marvel gen everyone there attacks me for not bowing down to Mighty Hasbro's infinite knowledge of what figures I should want to buy together? DC gen is I suppose naturally less corporate sycophant.

Ive been to every walmart by me multiple times and nothing has changed fuck you guy who found troika

>>11499791

>>11499834

>>11499850

>>11499695

>>11499866
oh shit its death stroke

>>11499870
That's slade

>>11499852
$35 for a $20 figure with some extras

>>11499832
Because those are refreshes this is locking a standard figure of a desired character behind a paywall.

>>11499891
This is 85% reuse of a body that has been used 2-3 times before, anon. And Wonder Woman has already had a classic release.

>>11499870
who? You mean death slate.

>>11499895
Nah nah nah thats defdeth he was in that one dc universe reboot that one time

>>11499893
> This is 85% reuse of a body that has been used 2-3 times before, anon.
Yes and irrelevant
>Wonder Woman has already had a classic release.
And it is the most desired figure in the line. Todd doesn’t do straight rereleases and the line is ending. This is likely the last chance for a normal comic Wonder Woman.
With marvel legends everything eventually gets a single card release. The two packs offer a refresh for new collectors. What Todd is doing is predatory.

>>11499903
Anon, that Psylocke is not getting a single card release and if you think it will you are delusional.

>>11499903
Tell me when this Rogue or Shana get a single release

>>11499907
There will be a single release of her and an Electra using that body.
>>11499910
Eventually

>>11499910
>that Shanna
muh dik

>>11499903
Predatory? We all have the freedom to not buy stuff. You even have safe guard triggers before drunkenly confirming an online purchase so if these are predatory practices then its you falling into the trap. I have no compulsion to buy things i dont like, i have learned that lesson already. Sure, a wondy would be sweet but id also like a professor zoom, and both come with an extra price for crap i dont want. Why is it that you are being preyed upon by todd? Is he catfishing you or is he a nigerian prince or a thai hooker trying to make life better for her three children?

>>11499913
>There will be a single release of her and an Electra using that body.
Does your dad work for Hasbro?

>>11499920
>I have no compulsion to buy things i dont like
Not him but if you like half of the thing but not the other half...thats a bit different

>>11499923
Nta but there’s no way they are just going to sit on that mold. Electra would be the perfect candidate to use it.

>>11499832
Because you're a whiney fagat

>>11499931
Too bad the Psylocke effects will be forever lost. Those are the best parts.

>>11499949

>>11499952
Whoever chooses what figures get made just has no idea what they're doing. Mirror Master? Like who wants this? Are these weirdos from like 1970s comics?

>>11499957
Spoken like a true secondary who doesn't even read comics. Why do you even care about these figures if you don't care about the source material?

>>11499960
I stopped buying the figures once I stopped recognizing the characters from the comics I do read.

>>11499961
Well, at least you do actually read comics. But why are you disparaging comic figures then? Just because YOU don't care about something doesn't mean no one else should. This board is so narrow minded and assume that everyone should have the same opinions as them. That is fake and gay.

>>11499952
Yes, a true connoisseur buys both Mirror Master color variants to place right next to Kite-Man, Ambush Bug, and Ragman.

Isn't there a proper panel, and then this little show where they don't actually reveal anything new? Just showcasing some things so far.

>>11499971
There’s this where they are showing in hand looks.
There’s also Walmart collector con stream
An actual sdcc panel

Holy shit, that WW looks infinitely better than the CE WW. This shit is an instabuy, Goji looks great as well. Just wish she also had a sword, also hoping for extra habds

>>11499850
Garbage

Zatanna on Friday confirmed

>>11499978

Do we know which of Todd's new Toadies is responsible for the chase variants becoming so rampant?

todd...

Don't make fun, that's all they can afford right now

I was excited for a moment...

I'm gonna guess the turtles figures are $35 each.

>>11500143
Nice knee on that figure

>>11500143
They really committed to the gummy weapons

>>11500196
he makes the weapon gummy in order to get that comic book action swing effect, todd's a genius.

>>11500196
It didn't used to be like this

Does anyone else make $60 pinned figures anymore but McFarlane?

>>11500035
This is a brand new 6 inch scale. Starting to believe the anon that said we were getting 6 inch cc style figures from Mattel
He also said there’d be a separate collector line.

>>11500365
They're still Origins so they're still technically 5.5". Let's stop using the buzzwords so freely.

>>11500406
The guy pixel Dan talked literally said they were a brand new 6 inch scale

>>11499852
You know what is the point about giving a figure the age rating for a 12 year old?
This is a character from a r rated movie and Todd thinks children collect these no adults do,why not just slap a fucking 17+ on this since it's based on a r rated film but his Arkham figures had the 12+ rating despite the game being M for mature,I recently saw a new Batman figure at GameStop that came with a gun and was rated 17+.

At least NECA rates their figures for the right demographic,McFarlane doesn't care about suitable age anymore.

>>11500435
children like John Cena, Predator and Alien toys are made for children. Even gi Joe classified has the 12+ rating on the box anon

>>11500439
>poor children like John Cena
FTFY

>>11500440
why are you racist?

>>11500441
Why do you assume only people of color are poor. Sounds like you just did a racism anon.

>>11500143
>hype party in a hotel room or something
>folding table and black cloth display for Snyder display

Any news on Mattel?

>>11500682
Yeah, we are getting brand new figures for the new 200X series that will be replacing the cartoon collection series. Oh and an updated castle greyskull.

>>11499318
>meet with Todd
You don't want to be alone in the same room as him. Where do you think Neil "butter for anal lube "Gaiman learned his tricks?

>>11500721
Neil gaiman is Jewish he learned it from the torah

>>11500721
Todd isn’t a sexpest he’s is a con artist tho. You’re more likely to lose your wallet around him than your booty

>>11500608
Cyborg Superman is his company philosophy now. Make a figure of a highly desirable character and then make it almost impossible to get outside ebay.

>>11500740
>Todd was a gypsie all along

>>11500365
The articulation is still origins and thus not worth buying for dc

>>11500852
Not into Mattel lines at all but is it possible their lines are more cartoon looking? A few months back, I caught one of their WWE lines and the figures looked more childish for a lack of a better word. Not that it would be that bad given that we're talking about comic characters

>>11500037
more like Red Slop

>>11500847
Just like special limited gold foil chase edition comics in the 90s!

>>11500865
It's rather amusing how in the past, a company wanted to sell as many figures as possible while today, companies try to produce as little as possible to minimise costs while also minimising revenues at the same time

>>11500852
Wrong

>>11500365
If we got these for dc figures + a collector line I would be very happy

Peacemaker up on Amazon. Buy the old suicide squad one and swap.

>>11501044
The joke would be on you since its the same mold just with a different head and a gun holster.

>>11500908
The articulation is definitely motu origins. Not double jointed. If the forthcoming line isn't at least as good as ML its worthless.

>>11500855
The basics arent as nice as the standard or elites. The faces are an issue certainly but i do enjoy the articulation. Just ball em up and throw em at the wall, the figure will be ok.
>>11500875
Gotta feed the hype machine

>>11501203
Hype for figures already sold out?

>>11501216
Hell yeah, now youve got the fomo for whatever comes next. Plus it keeps people mentioning your product and company.
Its not a smart tactic but it works sometimes. Especially if the product meets the hype and expectations.

>>11499982
Is this not just WW84 with a new head?

>>11501252
New head and diaper

>>11501251
It's funny i never hear anyone talk about the merits of the Cyborg Superman figure, just complaining that they can't find him.

Zatanna tomorrow.

>>11501267
Preview?

What if Mattel's DC collector line was basically MOTU Origins but with DC characters-- same style and articulation? Would you collect it?

>>11501281
If it’s like the new 200x 6 inch line absolutely as long as they have soft wired capes.
But like the one anon was saying they are doing a separate collector line

>>11501271
It's just the Total Justice lies all over again

>>11501281
I don't really get Origins. Masterverse is pretty cool though.

>>11501348
See ya tomorrow biiiiiiiiiitttch

No more lies, DC Gen.

>legos general: never lies to me
>fashion doll general: never lies to me

why

>>11501267
$70 Elite Collector's Ruby Platinum edition exclusive to the back of Todd's car.

>>11501366
Detective stories are full of deceiving so it seems that the gen just takes after the comics

>>11501281
No. Ive been on origins since it was a walmart exclusive and no, im not interested in that idea at all.
>>11501355
Its pretty fun if you start mixing and matching parts. But most gimmicks have been nerfed so that was a bummer but i got over it.

>>11501261
Now this is just me and my opinion, but the figures arent that great. They may look good but thats kinda it. Im sure the other lines mcfarlane has are similar in that regard.

>>11501366

>>11500035
what is this? I thought he-man toys look like this

>>11500646
Fucking finally, now to wait three years for it

>>11500608
The funny thing is Todd drove me to primarily collect Marvel Legends over his line with his idiotic decisions even though I prefer DC over Marvel. But can't collect something that isn't available to buy.

Amazon do be greedy evil fucks.

Mondo Batgirl

Mondo Superman...worth it for that Myxy

>>11501654
>Lois is literally a statue that hangs on to him
Why?

>>11501675
They weren't going to make a separate figure so they included her as an accessory rather than not include her at all

>>11501675
Women, am I right?

>>11501675
its accurate

>>11499870
>>11499866
PFFT wtf is happening

>>11499871

>>11499771
Best Buy and Game Stop both have them in pretty much any store I've stumbled into this past week. Certain large Targets had a few. But Best Buy should have it in stock and you can order it for delivery reasonably if you really must. It looks like crap in person, but honestly almost all of these do. I collect primarily Superman related crap and none of this had made my wallet trigger finger itch at all.

>>11501714

>>11501714
We are reaching levels of side eye that indicate an unforseen natural disaster.
Keep those cyborg superman figures dry my brothers.
