>not even the best versions of these two bats and supes
FAILURE
SHIT POST DISCARDED

>>11505480 (OP)
Even red tornado has been made
EXTREME

>>11505586
Why are you like this doodlefag?

>>11505480 (OP)
Why are you obsessed with Total Justice, dude?

>>11505617
Can anyone tell me the comic lore on why Swolecrow is swole?

>>11505635
He's a supervillain. They have to do a lot of physical work.

>>11505635
Every time he spooks someone he does a set of machine rows

>>11505635
He's trying bat's way of fear

>>11505762
YDDAUUAꓘ!!

>>11505634
hes just a unironic ironic retard
total justice is based though

>>11505635
Id guess the knightfall story. Or its fear toxins spooking you via the information super highway.

>>11505635
He's always carrying around a giant fifty pound scythe and spooky toxins. After a few days anyone would be jacked like that.

>>11505947
He's skinny in Knightfall

>>11505980
Well then its got to be fear gas.
Its not parts reuse. Maybe its part of this total justice wave im hearing so much buzz about? Those figures had some extreme proportions.

>>11505991
Spin Master is working on Total Justice, not McFarlane.

>>11505762
Why did you flip the image?

>>11505480 (OP)
Thoughts? Coming in september

You won't be farming me with your $60 Zatanna, Todd. I see your game.

>>11505480 (OP)
Anyone here owned an AY Superman? Aside from his anime look and metallic body does he have other downsides? Stiff joints, material deteriorate, etc that are not mentioned in any reviews. Also are there any good heads that you can suggest to swap that will look good with the body?

>>11506654
You tell em champ!

>>11506596
Good figure, cape attachment is a bit annoying, I currently just stuff it in under his neck so there's no plastic involved. No issues I've had I guess other than he is bulkier than a lot of other AY, so slight limitations that that involves. No thoughts on heads, but probably some custom one would be the way to go to fit this specific peg.

What do you think the price on Mattel's line will be? Their masterverse figures are currently the best value for 7in on the market now.

>>11506867
Idk, $35 i guess by the time they start hitting shelves. Id wager classified is the best value overall.

Im glad to see the majority of collectors are saying fuck Todd over Zatanna. Shame she’ll still sell out because only 2k are getting produced.

>>11506888
Why resign yourself to that fate? Hasbro and Mattel are still at 22.99 and 24.99. Not everyone has yet skyrocketed prices like Todd.

>>11506888
Classified is 6 inch

Is there such a thing as a good Golden Age Superman figure? The recent Action #1 from McFarlane looks like absolute ass.

>>11506990
You can hope for a Mafex. They are opening the doors to what sotrylines they're allowed to make figures from, judging from their booth this year. Maybe we'll get some Golden Age stories or stories that have flashbacks to the Golden Age, since flashback ans what not don't seem to be off the table.

>>11506924
The important thing is even if she sells out, Todd will be making less money off it. I don't know what has driven him to the brink so as to raise the prices so much, but it is either dire, he has gone mad, or this is the next phase of Mattelguy's secret plan to destroy McFarlane Toy from within now that his true masters have the DC license back.

>>11506924
I've been saying that since the 90s bro. Not my fault none of you listened to me.

Do you think Mattel will have prototypes at NYCC?

>>11506924
Saying it where? The discord is just the same handful of retards talking about NFTs.

>>11507010
I am surprised they didn’t show anything this weekend. I guess we really won’t see anything until fucking toy fair

>>11506990
First appearance supes head
40s Superman body
As close as you’re getting with mcfarlane.

>>11506980
Well i dont buy everything and i have become even pickier as of late. >>11506983
I know, i just meant bang for the buck. But i havent bought any classified this year so maybe theyve scaled back some.

>>11507058
They're letting everyone vent their hatred at McFarlane for making Zatanna a $60 figure and Batman Returns wave a Todd's Spawnmobile trunk exclusive for a while then Mattel is going to reveal the first three waves of their DC line with clear release dates and preorders that don't instantly sell out.

At this point Mattel doesn't even need to hype their line because Todd is fucking up so spectacularly that all anyone can talk about is how much better Mattel will handle the license. It's in their best interest to keep things quiet while Todd antagonizes his customers.

>>11507062
The head is the thing I don't like.

my wal mart hadn’t gotten anything Todd in seriously about eight months other than those Green Arrows that gathered an inch of dust on the top. they got the Superman movie figures, and then I go in yesterday and they’ve got Troika and Kenner Azrael and “Batwing” and some hideous day glo Batmans. just weird

>>11507130
Mine got a bunch of Task Force chase variants like that orange Superman. I think another store was purging inventory and sent it to mine or maybe a scalper bought a bunch at other Walmarts and couldn't sell them so returned them to mine. They've been there for about three months now. Nothing else, no movie toys.

>>11505480 (OP)
Who cares about McFarts now? Mattel's getting the license next year. Just stop making these generals until then.
>>11506549
>Brown Adam
pass.

>>11507117
Oh shit, okay yeah that's a vast improvement.

>>11507058
>I am surprised they didn’t show anything this weekend
because you're stupid. you won't see anything until 2026

>>11507197
Mattel is being gentlemen and letting Todd make as much money as he can before they reveal their figures.

>>11507171
Do you remember what Mattels looked like? Todd has better articulation (somehow) but Mattel better put forward even better effort than even MOTU Masterverse since they need to offer something much better than they made before. The articulation is mostly there in Masterverse but they need butterfly joints and better ab crunching

>>11507404
>look at what this company was doing over 10 years ago!

>>11507404
if you expect DCUC 2.0 you probably won’t be disappointed
probably

>>11507404
The thing is, we can only buy toys if we're able to buy them. It doesn't matter what McFarlane makes if they're always sold out to Todd's scalper network and no one can buy them.

Todd just announced his company is pivoting away from physical toys and focusing exclusively on digital collectibles starting in 2026.

>>11507418
>50/50 memeing or not

>>11507418
source but i believe it

>>11507422
>>11507424
post-SDCC gold member pass stream. he's finishing mortal kombat and ninja turtles then moving physical figures to crowdfunders.

>>11507414
I wouldnt be too suprised if mattel doesnt recreate the wheel. Would anyone expect hasbro do to do something totally out of character if they had the license?
Im not being negative or poo pooing just kinda seems like with everything going on that mattel would likely stay with what works for them and sells well.

>>11507429
It they make a $25 dollar Zatanna they'll print millions of dollars out of the gate.

>Mattel announces nothing
>somehow still wins SDCC

Which figures are you most hyped for? I promise I don't work for Mattel and am definitely not here to covertly farm opinions from collectors.

No, we are not revamping Total Justice.

>>11507415
Yes, I don't want Todd to continue the license either, because he has inflated prices insanely and his scarcity is nuts. It's no fun seeing figures you never will be able to buy

>>11507409
dcuc was behind the times 10 years ago and mattel was still subpar in their final days of multiverse. you have to know literally nothing about toys to think mattel is gonna save you

>>11507441
Honestly, this Elite Edition stuff is bullshit. Fuck Todd, boycott all of his products.

>>11507443
See you in March dipshit know it all.

>>11507436
Mattel had a bunch of announcements for their existing lines. Just nothing DC.

If a Mattel person with any decision making capacity reads this, just make MOTU Masterverse style figures and keep the prices $25 or lower, keep the product available and do the main iconic evergreens as well as the side character figures that McFarlane didn't do--with an emphasis on the female figures Todd refused to do.

>>11507451
Isn’t it interesting Mattel just introduced a new 6 inch scale origins style line.

>>11507456
If they go that route with DC as the collector offering I likely wouldn't buy it for DC (too cartoony even though I have Origins figures due to liking 80s MOTU) but I'd wish them well as it'd probably keep prices down.

>>11507451
Sexy Starfire is rumored to be in the first wave. Someone told me they want to keep standard figures under $30, with exceptions being bigger characters like Darkseid.

>>11507436
Wired soft capes and you can do whoever you want.

>>11507456
This?
Leaker anon is that you? You said we were getting this for dc and a separate collector line correct?

>>11507461
Darkseid would be a good character for them to make since as far as I am concerned, Todd botched his 2 tries (if the movie one even acounts). Super Powers Darkseid is not what people want, they want iconic comic Darkseid.

>>11507446
>mattel sucked then
>mattel sucks now
>somehow mattel will suddenly not suck in march

>>11507472
>You said we were getting this for dc
Fucker even said they’d be at a new 6 inch scale. Someone find the post

>>11507472
This being the articulation level would make McFarlanes shoot up in price, as even McFarlanes have better articulation than this.

>>11507472
fucking this is hype, 6 inch is a guarantee now. DC really is back.

>>11507489
Fucking hype is right, 14 POA is back my brothers, we're going back to the '90s! RADICAL! TUBULAR!

>>11507495
If these are what the basic figures are like then I’m fine with that. You can go cry alone in a corner with your tainted powergirls.

>>11507495
i'll take it, this is what todd's done to me.

>>11507504
What do you mean by basic? Usually articulation schema doesn't change much across a line and bigger figures usually only get less POA. See McFarlane megafigs.

>>11507507
I respect your perspective anon, this scarcity and price inflation has done damage to my mental health.

>>11507511
You’re so god damn stupid

>>11507516
If you mean the kid focused line by "basic" as opposed to the collector line, that doesn't seem to be what people are saying these would be in the context of DC.

>>11507515
Unironically this. I donated most of my Mcfarlanes just do get the shit away from me. 90% ugly trash. I should’ve just been buying mafex this whole time.

>>11507521
>should’ve just been buying mafex this whole time
I fell into the trap of value with mcfarlane hilarious thinking about that now

>>11507521
>>11507527
Its all about what you want. You can't build a world or get more niche characters with Mafex. Only domestic lines.

>>11507521
Especially considering what Mafex showed off at their booth this year. We are in for some awesome dogs over the next few years. Sucks that it'll take so long, but I can wait.

>>11507436
fool me once

mafex and mattel won sdcc

>>11507569
how

>>11507580
All of their dc stuff was objectively better than Todd’s

>>11507609
>No DC Mattel revealed
>Still better than Todd's
I'll agree due to the bad news of $60 Zatanna and her render doesn't even look that good.

Real thread theme
https://youtu.be/gdSWaIvyQ3o

Is this really the conclusion of McFarlane Toys, after all these years?

>>11507701
Yuuuuup

>>11507476
At least Mattel's line won't cost Ebay prices (before the actual Ebay scalper markup).

New Elite Edition rebranding has occurred.

>>11507737
Heh

>>11507701
It's over.

>>11505617
The actual 90s comic static, nice.

>>11507472
These look good for a nostalgia line but I'm expecting better from Mattel, Masterverse-level if they're actually smart.

>>11507737
Not to jinx it but Mattel used to pull some of the most jewish tactics back when they owned the DC license and it's comparable to this shit. Fingers crossed they've moved on from that nonsense.

>>11507737
But the monkey, anon! The monkey!

>>11507959
Thats atleast a $35 value, and its not probably not even articulated! Todd will go broke at these prices!

>>11507469
does Mattel understand that this is the standard now? plastic capes are fucking ded

>>11507890
Did it ever come close to asking 60 dollars for one figure?

>>11507998
well at one point they wanted you to pay for a sub to keep their line going, and you didn’t know what figures would be made or when they would be released. how’s that strike you, chum?

>>11507910
I don't mind either way, I'm speaking more of the sculpt quality and articulation.

>>11508012
Sounds easy to decline and just ignore the line

Toyshiz just announced regular multiverse figures are going back to plastic capes lmao

why Did no one post The DCU Superman from mafex?

>>11508170
Multiverse is over anyway. I got my cloth capes

>>11508170
>toyshiz
More fake news from those mainstream media puppets!

>>11508186
>>11508170
Watched the vid and can confirm he did say the recent ones had plastic capes, unless he's just going off the render, but he should know by now they just do that for the render. Looks like the fear over N52 Supes and NML rumors were warranted as long as he actually saw prototypes. I got my wired capes. DID YOU?

>>11508175
It’s shit.

>>11508231
I got mine physical and digital.

>new DC direct new animated batman and Mr freeze are out

Are they any good?
MR freeze seems to be the same old figure without the old QC problems from 10 years ago. But I don't know about batman. Maybe I should get the one with extra cape?

>>11508231
Ive got enough cloth capes to know i prefer them over plastic. Year two, hourman and eradicator are really hampered by those cruddy plastic capes. The stylized posed looking capes are awful, while the just relaxed plastic capes on knightfall arent as bad.

>>11508269
wrong pic? class batman is kino btw almost full cape

>>11508314
Looks like what DC Direct used to put out

>>11508314
I am kinda tempted to get this one but $30 is kinda pricey. Is it worth it? Is it still using the old articulation from the DC Collectibles days?

Remember, remember the 25th of July, the Zatanna price treason and plot. I know of no reason why the Zatanna price treason should ever be forgot.

>>11508388
You guys are so gay lmao, just don't buy it.

>>11508388
get back to work jaret

>>11508392
I'm not buying it. That's the problem. I don't get a Zatanna because Todd and cronies had to be assholes.

>>11508397
But bro, it comes with a sweet coupon for monopoly money to buy NFTs with.

Did any of the people at the SDCC press event even have the balls to ask the McFarlane Toys guys why their prices have gone crazy recently and why they had to start this $60 price tier or how the Fallout figures or Zatanna justify $60? The only other company that has raised prices recently was Jada.

>>11508402
Probably not. The only type to pay to go to something like that are turbo whales, and anyone who speaks up in their discord gets mocked by the goons shilling the NFT scam. All you can do is not buy their products and watch them bleed out.

>>11508397
If you really wanted it bad enough, you'd pay those rape prices. I don't think you should, especially for a McFarlane. But I'm just saying, if you wanted her enough, you'd pay the piper. Although, if you're going to pay that much, you may as well have gone the Mafex route. Really glad I did, especially now that they've opened the door to Justice League stuff with the newly shown off Lobo, which is of course, an insta pre-order. My Batman rogues are looking good, my Bat Family is coming along nicely with Tim and Barbara coming. I just need Mafex to get me some Leaguers.

>>11508415
I don't want it that bad, I'm not insane. They could've offered it for a normal price, so it's their fault I don't get it.

>>11508419
Ok. You don't need to be a raging faggot to me on 4chan about it.

>>11508419
I feel bad for Turtles fags. Todd is going to make three of them easily available then the fourth will be some Elite Collector's Gold Platinum Chase that they can only find for $150 on ebay.

>>11508422
Turtles fans have so many options for figures that it really doesn't matter what Todd does. Get one of the dozen other versions out there. DC figures don't have such luxury.

>>11508422
Turtlefags shalt be being Toddler shit.

>>11508422
Basically every company makes Turtles. I don't even know why Todd is bothering. Everyone who wants turtles stuff already has a company they get it from depending on their preferences. And McFarlane can't top any of them at the specialities. Even playmates has the nostalgia edge even if they are low poa.

>>11508424
>>11508429
>>11508438
Just watch, Todd's gonna fuck em in the ass anyway.

>>11508454
How would Todd be fucking them in the ass if everyone just buys from the other zillion offerings?

>>11508456
From Todd's perspective he's already got them hooked with the first three and can charge whatever he wants for the fourth. Like he's doing with Zatanna.

>>11508420
Uhm i think he kinda does though. It is 4chan.org afterall.
>>11508438
Low poa is one thing but damn the paint SUCKED on those retro figs.

>>11508459
How has he hooked anyone? They have other options, plenty of them.

>>11508463
He's only making less than 10k of each unit, it doesn't matter if he cracks the larger market he just wants to lock in and exploit the few people out there who still buy his garbage.

>>11508465
How can he even make money off of runs that low? Seriously? At 10k units, it doesn't matter in the slightest. I don't know why you're so buttmad about it.

>>11508468
He makes money off low runs by charging ridiculous amounts for single releases, like collector's and elite editions, then justifies it by including monopoly money for his NFT scheme.

It's impressive how you aren't at all disgusted by this and attempt to continue the conversation with blindly ignorant nonsense.

>>11508470
First of all, $60 isn't an insane amount of money. I mean, it is for a McF, but in the grand scheme of things it isn't at all. I pay more than that for imports and they have larger runs. Even at $60 a 10k run isn't going to net him any money.

>then justifies it by including monopoly money for his NFT scheme.
I don't know why you guys are so hung up on this. Bring Arts did this for some of their FFVII figures and no one sperged out about it. If anything, most people did what I did, and just tossed the redemption code.

>>11508484
>I don't know why you guys are so hung up on this
Because mcfarlane is embezzling then washing money through the NFTs

>>11508485
And the drawing board crowd funds

>>11508485
By including them with figures you'd already be paying for? Are you underage or just autistic? I don't follow how throwing in an NFT for something you'd already be paying for is cause for such a spaz out.

>>11508484
>why you guys are so hung up on this
>you guys
When a figure jumps from $25 to $60 because it includes a ticket to buy digital collectibles, that's just exploitation of the customers who've kept his shitshow of a company alive.
Fuck Todd.

what would a Mafex Zatanna cost

this dude really gonna dickride todd after a $60 zatanna announcement lol

>>11508484
>First of all, $60 isn't an insane amount of money. I mean, it is for a McF
Well that is what these are. So you seem to agree with him that it is an insane amount of money that he is charging.

>>11508492
Probably $90-120+tax+tarifffee+shipping in BBTSbux. Not sure in actual importbux.

>>11508489
>adds +$5 for a card something that cost no extra fee for mcfarlane to throw in
>those funds collected from the purchase goes in to pump NFTs
>same with drawing board funds [mcfarlane has already produced everything]
>wash trading happens
>the twitter discord shill get rich

>>11508501
this

>>11508491
This is them going full mask off on scamming people
The discord mods are the same mcfarlane digital employees gassing up hype on all the digital drop posts. It’s shameless and needs to be investigated. Mcfarlane needs to be audited.

>>11508508
Yeah just look at their official discord. SDCC weekend and no mention of figure announcements, just the same handful of NFT shills promoting digital collectibles. Disgusting.

>>11508511
>>11508508

my guess is they will all get out before mcfarlane loses the DC license and whatever happens to those digital figures happens.

>McFart loses the rights to DC
>all DC NFTs get deleted because he can't keep the rights

lmao

>>11508583
Yup. They legally have to get rid of all dc imagery from their showroom when the license is up. Everything is clearly worded in the tos. Silver lining is the average speculator that got duped into buying will get fucked hard.

>>11508595
all those Japanese people in small apartments are going to be mighty upset

>>11508675
So will all those people with grandkids

I would not be collecting these toys if mcfarlane name wasn't behind it.
Theres just something special about a real human behind the toys rather than some big company, maybe that's just me tho. Hes also a great guy and is the owner of a successful business that he started himself. Hard worker who is passionate about the same things we all are but is actually trying to do his own thing as well which is very very cool.

>>11508716
Yeah I love how he fucks me in the ass after supporting his company for years

>>11508716
I'm not letting a CEO screw me just because he's a CEO.

Todd from the 90s is gone, whatever creature took his place is part of the toy industry now and behaves according to their standard practices. He would never again willingly put a giant Malebolgia figure in a normal sized box and write it off as a hit to his profits just to make something cool.

>>11508716

I have to agree that I like buying products from someone when I feel like I know them, even if it's just through interviews and spirited promo videos. It's almost like buying from your local farmer who goes on funny rants about potatoes versus buying from a soulless supermarket.
The benefit of a smaller company having a big liscence like DC is that the community is able to have a more open dialog compared to something like Hasbro and Mattel, where everything goes through dozens of corporate layers.

What do you mean my digital statues will just disappear?

>>11508727
Is this open dialogue?:

Everyone: Stop the Platinums NOW.

Todd: No.

He will only give on things that don't matter, like side eye or removing card stands.

>>11508716
This is it. I love the fact that Todd is a real dude that also collects and is highly active in the comic book community as well.

>>11508727
>>11508732

Are you all here doing damage control for that $60 DC Multiverse figure you're going to put out? There's no need, you're making so few you should know it'll sell out even if you charged $100 for it. Come on, raise the price higher. Hurt the whales more.

>>11508729
they'll live in your heart, forever.

>>11508716
>>11508727
>>11508732
this is so gay holy shit.

>>11508782
You sound like a miserable person

>>11508729
Heavens no. You purchased a digital item and no one can just remove a digital file youve legally purchased. Thatd be crazy and damn near criminal on behalf of the buisness.

>>11508812
The digital file isn’t what they purchased tho lol

>>11508849
I wonder how people will react to finding this out as no one reads the legalese for these kinds of purchases. I guess they just expect people will take it since they seem to be taking all the other beats McFarlane Toys has been giving its fans lately fine. Apparently the SDCC panel was packed according to ToyShiz's video. At this point I'd almost sooner go to a Star Wars panel.

>>11508800
You sound like reddit tier shill poster. That retarded shit doesnt work here, so go fuck off back to facebook or youtube and be as gay as you want there. I hope you they dont pay you as well.

>>11508859
The discord is in full damage control. Someone who just joined and asked about toys got told to leave because it's a digital community.

>>11508849
Bruh, i aint doing some eula shit to open a toy.

>>11508314
there are a few versions going around. The one in plastic silver is the latest Direct version that also released with new animated Mr freeze.

The earlier version that came under collectibles label came out few years a ago and i can't find it anymore.

The one of the older release came with both closed cape over the shoulder and one you posted but plastic.

From you comment I can assume the main figure is pretty giod

So its a scratch off ticket to redeem your crypto? Like gambling kinda but for a picture in an action figure box. I hope the kids adhere to the 14+ age rating, todd may catch some strays if kids under 14 start trafficking nfts in the school yard.

And you need an app?
No fucking wonder zatanna and detective chimp are $60. God damn gotta pay for all these not a toy shit.

>>11508862
please be real

>>11508998
They told him to fuck off now they're circle jerking to some digital lottery thing. One of the mods even said "not a lot of companies do 1/12. Just japanese stuff" lmao

>>11508925
>>11508935
You also need to provide Todd's cronies with your personal info to activate your digital wallet haha

>>11509002
But Todd makes six inch figures for the animated series. Does the mod not even know which products he's being paid to shill?

>>11509004
That's what we've been saying. The people running Todd's company and discord live in some delusional alternate reality from the rest of us.

>lunchtime
>Ran to the local importer owned store because the weather is nice

Dear Todd,

It shouldn't take this long that you even lost the DC license in order for me to get a proper copy of Batman that comes with clothes cape and proper 2 closed fist hands.

And what is up with all the different labels?
What is the difference between the regular line, gold label line and digital?

>>11509035
Too bad there’s no wire

>>11509040
I don't mind that. As long it is clothes cape I'm okay with it

Anyway

Am I doing something wrong here? because there is no way the legs only go this far forward.

I am not asking for spiderman, but it has to be better than this

>>11509087
That's the famous McFart articulation his figgos are known for

>>11509087
Just ratchet it down a notch

>>11509093
I don't it

There is no pull down joints with his hip.
So rachet down where?

>McFarlane Toys deleting any comments critical of the Zatanna price hike on insta and discord
It's official. Zatanna is the figure that turned the community against Todd.

>>11508727
>The benefit of a smaller company having a big liscence like DC is that the community is able to have a more open dialog compared to something like Hasbro and Mattel, where everything goes through dozens of corporate layers.
While I agree with the sentiment, Todd has made utterly clear that he listens to fans but doesn't actually implement fans' requests, especially when it comes to articulation improvements, pricing, availability, and character selection. The only thing Todd is good at is acting like he genuinely gives a shit.

If you want the perfect example of a person who listens to requests, Jada Toys' Juhn is it. Obviously, Juhn is a turbo autist who criticises himself more than fans do but that's the type of person who should be at the helm of every toy company out there

>>11508725
>muh inflation calculator
You're really ignorant.

>>11509202
Jada would make the perfect DC figures but it will sadly never happen.

>>11509208
The only bad thing would be the slow release of characters but hell, at least I'd already have a full Justice League team in a year or two and not after 4 years

>>11509208
They wouldn't be able to handle the level of output needed for the DC license. I know people like to shill Jada here, and they're a good company, but I don't think they're that much better than the likes of Hasbro. Sure they're better than Toddl but that's not saying much. Let Jada stick to their smaller, more niche franchises. You'd better believe I wouldn't be getting Cyberpunk figs at all, let alone at the level of quality Jada offers if they had a larger IP like DC or Marvel. There are plenty of other options for DC figures. If you're willing to wait for slow releases, then get Mafex, they're your best option for DC anyway.

>>11509208
Id rather get jazwares, i thought both of their fortnite lines were really nice, and it had a nice selection too but idk anything about the game so maybe it wasnt as diverse as i recall it.

>>11508716
>>11508727
>>11508732

>>11509206
You read nothing else in the image. It accounts for costs rising faster than inflation in their business but posits they should take less profit to offset it.

Well I missed the unannounced drop on Amazon. I hate Todd on a personal level.

>>11509389
McFarlane toys thinks its fun for people to always have to think about whether some surprise unannounced drop will happen and sell out in 5 minutes to bots and thenpeople will have to 'hunt' for the figure, spending hours of their free time for the honor of paying McFarlane toys 35 bucks. They call it 'surprise mechanics', it makes their figures more desirable to scalpers.

Now all 3 are officially sold out before even being announced they were live by mcfarlane yet again. 3 hours before they were scheduled.

>>11509265
Seriously, wtf is that ? I guess chat gpt is a mcfarlane fag?

>>11509453
What went up today?

>>11509215
>I don't think they're that much better than the likes of Hasbro
Wouldn't you say "that much better" is rather subjective? There are some things Jada is definitely better at than McFarlane and Hasbro. Literally the only thing I can think of which they're not better at is release speed
>plenty of accessories, effect pieces always included (Hasbro and McFarlane sometimes have only alternate hands or no accessories at all)
>great and standardised articulation for every figure, even bigger ones (even Tony the fucking Tiger)
>use cloth
>bendiwire for arms and legs
>decent price point, especially since all of the above is included

>There are plenty of other options for DC figures. If you're willing to wait for slow releases, then get Mafex, they're your best option for DC anyway
Mafex is great but their release windows are a thousand times worse than Jada. I literally bought McFarlanes because those dicks can't make a single classic Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, and Green Lantern figure

>>11509459
Chair fag
Mirror fag
Deathstroke

>>11509486
I mean, they're definitely a bit better, but the way some of you guys talk about them, you make them seem like they're import quality, and they just aren't. They're fine, but they're obviously more catered to smaller IPs, which is good imo, we're never getting higher quality figures of some of those IPs like Fred and Barney, or the Scooby gang.

>>11509508
Dude, I'm 99% sure we already had this conversation in a previous thread. Please give it a rest. If people want to suck Jada's dick, just let them.
To some, import-level quality may mean something different than what it means to you. Essentially, all people are saying is that an American company offers great value for a fair pricepoint. That's it

>They're fine
Name me one other company offering such an overall quality for a 25-40 dollar line. Imports cost 40+ dollars, most even 70+ dollars

>they're obviously more catered to smaller IPs
That's where they should stay for now desu until they manage to create the best standard bucks. It feels like they're still finding a way to create the essentials for production to be able to manage higher volumes. I think for SF, they're basically there once the SF2 roster is finished. Maybe even after the first Alpha 3 wave because they seem to be trying to try out new tech for their articulation

>>11509534
>it's ok to shill if it's a company that I like
Shut up you dork, I'm not reading all that.

As someone who doesn't care for the more obscure DC characters, Todd's scarcity craze has still angered me. I can't even imagine what people who want these lesser known characters like Metron must be going through to get these figures

I am laughing so hard that bbts is now charging 37 for CEs. Whatever is happening at McFarlane, bbts still wants their pound of upcharged flesh too. Can't wait until bbts charges 63 for Ebay Editions

>>11509554
>Whatever is happening at McFarlane
When it gets announced it’s going to be a hilarious day on the sub

Now would be the perfect time for Mattel to announce their DC products. The whole community is talking about how much they hate McFartlame right now.

>>11509536
Literally a lack of reading comprehension but that is to be expected of someone with ADHD who is unable to read 10 sentences on a Taiwanese basket weaving forum

>>11509537
Is Metron difficult to get? Who the fuck even wants him except for a few 90s kids?
I don't really care anymore because Wondy is the only character I'm waiting for and I'll easily get her because Europe has been getting plenty of time for preordering new figures

>>11509554
McFarlane deserves all that's coming. I hope their MK line fails miserably and I hope as well that Jada or someone else gets the license as well because that will be the downfall for Todd's MK line

>discord mods delete any discussion critical of the overpriced elite editions
>posting about trying to get physical collectors into buying NFTs
>only the guy making them is somehow magically getting all the rares
>even the NFT shills admit their only function is speculative scalperbait

I know most of you don't care about behind the scenes drama but McFarlane Toys is being roasted on the sub and in their discord right now and someone important enough to have posts deleted is reading them. If you're pissed at Todd for being a greedy bitch now is the time to let him know.

>>11509569
Idk, but id be taking notes on the legit gripes without a doubt.
Which dont think mattel is a savior or anything, theyve gone to drip feeding us the vintage figures we all want in exchange for pumping out cross over figures.

>>11509573
Most McFarlane dcmv figures are hard to get in the US and have been for over a year.

>>11509593
Is this some kind of official McFarlane subreddit? Because I didn't think they had any that McFarlane people ran

Seriously though, $35:for figures that were $25 a few months ago is just too far a stretch. Why not just buy the page punchers deathstroke? Why am i psying $25 for digital figures when nft means absolutely nothing to me personally. If hasbro was pulling this legends fans would riot, hell they shit themselves over $50 figures and we are already going to $60 soon for a figure and monkey. How does this make any sense at the todd hq to anyone?

>>11509631
They're just gouging customers for anything they can before the license expires.

>>11509631
They know people will pay it and the figures are still selling fast. Finally a demon exists that understands that ebay is the true market and what collectors really value their plastic crap at. and now that he does he will exploit it viciously to extract the maximum amount of money.

>>11509644
McFarlane Toys is over.

>>11509643
That is not the full explanation, because all IPs at McFarlane are seeing this. They released an avatar figure 7in scale with one of those alien bird things in a 2 pack for $199. Not shitting you, go look it up

>>11509723
That's different. They are t marking a $25 figure up to $60 because it includes monopoly money for Todd's NFT platform.

>>11509725
Is this the True End of McFarlane Toys?

>>11509728
Yes. It is

>>11509728
It'll limp along with MK but then Todd will do something to piss them off, too

>>11509728
Yes. There’s a criminal investigation underway.

i predict mcfarlane will keep dc direct but multi verse will go to mattshit

>>11509643
Seems so. I thought todd had a collectors first type of motto.
>>11509644
Lets vote with our wallets by ignoring all multiverse, page punchers and dc direct/phygital releases.
>>11509728
Todd is literally tearing us apart. Divide and conquer!

>>11509786
Maybe he can get logan paul and hawk tuah girl to increase brand awareness? Those two are well versed in nft crap. Or maybe make direct a gamestop exclusive line? I thought you guys were kidding about investing in mcfarlane and now i feel dumb for not getting in sooner.

Todd, you are TEARING this family APART!

How much more are you going to take, DC gen?

Zatanna was the last straw with this line for me.

>>11509916
You really need to find something better to do with your day than shitposting about Todd and flooding the board with dumb threads. I get that you're an attention whore and all, but get a better hobby.

Zatanna having boots on is a bigger issue for me than her being a mild pain in the ass to get.

>>11510034

>>11510048
At least Jarret speaks up in the McFart discord. The Zatanna announcement really pissed him off.

>>11510075
Did the McFarlane toadies kick him out for questioning The Todd?

>>11510081
No.

They are saying the only likely chance for a Nicholson Joker is another $250 box set though. Have fun with that.

>>11510102
I don't really care about a Nicholson Joker unlike a lot of people. But really I don't know why people are even bothering to talk about theoretical future figures. Given the lead time on toys everything that is going to come out before McFarlane loses the license is already in planning now.

>>11509722

>If you love these figures so much, you can mourn for them.

Im really hung up on this nft shit. I was aware of the phygital stuff but i had not yet bought a dc digital figure. I just thought it was some show room stuff, like buy the figure and get this digital file for free social media type thing. Now i know its like a sorta bullshit coin stuff. Thats cool. Like no wonder we cant find toys, upure up against scalpers and coin traders and todds general bullshit fucking releases and oh yeah the fucking god damned online ordering of multiverse for EXCLUSIVE WAL MART FIGURES.

>>11510211
I can't believe shit like this is selling. Who actually wants a figure that looks like this? Look at the diaper, it's going to warp and tear if you even just leave him just sitting on a chair for a year or two. I can see why Todd only makes less than 10k of figures like this. This is a niche of a niche.

>>11510211
Literally no one gives a fuck about NFTs bro. What rock are you living under that you think scalpers are buying up figures for their NFTs?

This board loses its mind and becomes the biggest bunch of pearl clutching drama queens about the weirdest, most pedantic shit I've ever seen. Is /toy/ the only corner of the Internet that you go? When was the last time you even went outside or talked to someone in person? The way some of you go on about things, makes it feel like you're sheltered littles babies that haven't ever participated in the real world and assume everything is like what you see on TV.

Mcfarlane toys digital employees openly mocking people on X calling them out on their shit now. Insane.

>>11510211
Yeah you redeem the coupon and pull from a lottery to get your prize. Crazy how the people who get the most rares are the ones running the scam.

>>11510250
We no shit need to compile as much evidence as possible against them.

>>11510246
Just sour grapes, brother man.

>>11510254
lol it’s the same Simpson faggot mocking the guy on twitter

>>11510254
Nice to know you're a retard across all platforms.

These are the faggots behind the nft scam

>>11510254
Their own tos states that isn’t the case. Once the license is gone they can not legally host dc ip imagery anymore. The token is yours permanently but it points to nothing accessible. You will still be able to sell and buy tho.

>>11510285
Is the imagery of the action figure hosted locally once you redeem the code or is it downloaded from the cloud on the fly when the token is detected? Seems like the former of the two would mean longer term ability to view the figure. Latter I dont see how they could do unless the "digital collectible" license is separate from the physical figure license.

>>11510356
The image is hosted on mcfarlanes showroom website

jesus fucking christ you people are insane crybabies with no toys

>>11510445
How long did it take you to make that discovery?

>>11510218
Can't wait to pay $8 for this just for the chair like I did with the blue power suit Lex.

>>11510285
So they'll just be endlessly buying and selling the same digital shit to each other?

>>11510356
>>11510368
>>11510285
Is there any confirmation as to whether they won't be able to host the images? I have two digital figures and don't give a damn about that retarded shit because I'm no low-life who cares about toys beyond having them in my actual shelf. Still, you guys are making such a huge fuss about this like it's the end of the world

>>11510563
Imagine you go to McDonald's for a cheeseburger. The cheeseburger now costs double what it used to but you get a coupon for a digital cheeseburger as well.

>>11510574
Dude, cheesburgers already cost more than double of what they used to cost. What type of shitty example are you even using?

Also, the prices for McFarlane figures would have inflated anyway so them fucking with customers should be a surprise only to nitwits

>>11510583
Okay, use t-shirts or cat food instead, retard. The point is that half the justified increased cost is intangible bullshit.

>>11510574
>>11510583
>>11510586
>where are the toys?
>American: imagine a burger

>>11510586
I hate McFarlane with a passion but when did they actually state the digital shit was part of the price increase? Only the digital subline gets those so your point is completely invalid when regular figures are facing price increases as well. Educate yourself before you spout utter nonsense

>>11510588
>Includes an ELITE POINTS card and a collectible art card. Elite Points can be used to redeem incredible rewards and one of a kind prototypes.
It's just nice little a freebie thrown in with a $60 figure.

>>11510591
>It's just nice little a freebie thrown in with a $60 figure.
That's genuinely the actual point of this shit. They're throwing in pointless shit with a figure they have already increased in price for no reason. Difficult to grab for most people here but that's how businesses give you the impression their product has actual value when it doesn't

For people who don't support the line at all, lots of retards on here spend their time complaining about McFarlane's shady business practices though

>>11510602
There's a reason. They can say the increase is because of the digital prize you redeem, but it's all tied to an NFT scam run by a handful of McFarlane Toys employees who personally profit off the secondhand market for these digital collectibles.

>>11510612
They can say it but literally nobody believes them. I'm getting tired of people discussing things like these though because everyone can simply vote by not buying the damn figures. When the DC license stops, I will have bought 10 figures tops. Would have bought at least three different teams worth of figures hadn't it been for the terrible quality throughout the line. Still, people buy and bitch and moan all the time.
I applaud every business that manages to scam dumb customers to be honest because toy collectors get what's coming to them with their dumb-ass consumption decisions, including all of this NFT shit

>>11510612
Have they actually said this though? I was under the impression they haven't given any reason yet for the price increases. They're not the only company to do the NFT thing. Bring Arts did it for their FFVII figs. No one in those threads made a big deal about it though.

>>11510612
>an NFT scam run by a handful of McFarlane Toys employees who personally profit off the secondhand market for these digital collectibles.
Literally how? That's not how NFTs even work. Are you just making shit up?

Mcfarlane is embezzling money. It’s that simple.

>>11510650
Of course he is, that's how people here argue when they are trying to maximise the outrage. Just ignore the damn company and be done with it. They'll lose money anyway once the DC license is gone

New thread?

>>11510783
I already don't give them money. I don't by McFiggers. I just don't understand how this NFT thing is even a big deal. Like someone else said, even the figures without NFTs included are seeing price hikes, so I really doubt the NFTs are causing it. Sounds like Valley Forge not understanding how technology works and sperging out about it.

They don’t. Gotta go to target and get them. Mister miracle is on shelves now.

No I’m with Jarret on this one. They are clearly trade washing and using the price increases on figures to pump their NFTs
