I am impressed.

>>11515345
The one holding him up is stupid, but the others are quite fun and creative, at least.

>>11515337 (OP)
Is that a modified Spinmaster Guy? Looks pretty good if so.

why do all the Superman figures look so bad?

>>11515337 (OP)
hey glovefaggot, answer what fucking Guy this is now that you’ve been honored with an op jpeg
did you customize the spinmaster or what

You aren't looking at the imports

The way I see it, Mattel has an impossible task. They have to start a new DC line and invest fans in it when:

1. Their last DC effort was total crap and no one had interest, and they had a history of pissing off fans in the past. For example that horrific subscription model that pissed people off.
2. McFarlane did some things to set Mattel up for failure as they would cost Mattel too much money (wired capes for example) and people will complain or decline the line if these aren't done so either they cut into their profits or they piss off fans out of the gate.
3. They are going to have to start the collector line at a ridiculously high price (like $30-$35+) due to tariffs-- and risk stocking it in stores and watching it pegwarm-- or risk it not gaining any traction if they only stock online. And they have to risk making a lot if they want to get the most people in (otherwise, can't find it, people will ignore it). But we are in a toy down-cycle where most manufacturers are limiting their production.
4. They will have to make deeper cuts as fans expect from lines like ML or even some that Todd has done (Captain Carrot, Ambush Bug, The Question, Kite Man, etc), yet deeper cuts will absolutely pegwarm at retail for the drastic prices they will need to charge to make a profit. About all they can do to mitigate is just make these online exclusive.
5. They're screwed if they do and screwed if they don't on scale. If they go 6in some potential fans will never pick up the line as it won't work with their existing McFarlanes. If they go 7in some potential fans who expected The Ideal Scale to return will be pissed off and never pick up the line.
6. On top of all this they are chained to Gunn's movies as usual and DCU is still rather unproven with only a single movie--and one that had an A lister lead (Superman) so far.

>>11515883
Don't forget the masterverse reuse to keep costs down

Bought a Joker now I want more Batman villains.

>>11515883
Sometimes 6" figures scale well with Todd's stuff. I like my Harley being a little shorter than Joker, and if they're on a flight stand it's barely noticeable.
They have a lot of opportunities to make big bucks out of the gate because of times Todd fumbled the ball if they make a widely available classic Wonder Woman, Poison Ivy, Zatanna that isn't $60, sexy Starfire and Raven, etc. Honestly if I were Mattel I'd be recording every figure that sold out that Todd isn't remaking and do those characters.

>>11515894
Can you get that Harley to make other convincing poses

>>11515894
The figures you listed that Todd made that sold out and he didn't remake are females. And while the coomer crowd will buy a lot, they can't come close to holding a Hasbro or Mattel line on their back like Atlas. If Mattel overproduce Poison Ivy, Zatanna, Starfire and Raven early on as if they are on the same level as Wonder Woman, they will satisfy the coomer audience but there will be left over figures that pegwarm. They still have to get allocations right, which is difficult.

Of course there are male characters as well that sold out but some sold out by virtue of Todd underproducing ridiculously and Mattel will not know how many were produced of say The Question or Catman to know what they should go for in production or if they are worth trying to piggy back on Todd's sell out to fulfill the extra demand left over there.

Also they have to be allowed to make sexy Starfire and sexy Raven by WB/DC and their sculptors have to be up to doing it, which is a whole other thing.

>>11515894
>Azbats standing on a little table for some reason

>That DCD(?) Harley has a built in 'sexy twist' that Todd himself described but Todd's own Harley figures never had that

>Catwoman still has that huge extremely noticeable diaper, mediocre face sculpt, and yet everyone thinks she's the greatest figure since sliced bread for unknown reasons

I don't think I'll ever understand that Catwoman sell out. It's perhaps the perfect example of collectors buying to fill slots rather than buying the figure for what it actually looks like.

>>11515904
She can point her hand cannon but that's about it. The articulation sucks but she has the best Harley head sculpt in her jester costume and looks better without a million joints cut into her.

>>11515911
The DC community is Batman guys, Superman guys, and coomers. Clearly vampires and Jokerized variants were not what people wanted, and as you said, the female figures always sold out.
Star Sapphire, Maxima, Amanda Conner Power Girl, Lois Lane, Livewire, Phantom Lady, a Fire that doesn't suck, Ice, Killer Frost, etc all need new figures that both coomers and hardcore collectors never got from Todd.
Most of the statues that get made by Sideshow and Todd beyond Batman and Superman are sexy side characters like Zatanna, Batgirl, Supergirl, and Harley.

This faggot ass nonsense about girl characters not selling needs to stop.

>>11515915
He's too chunky for a flight stand, I dunno what I'm doing with him.

Purple Catwoman was my favorite toy as a kid. I actually like Selina in the black suit with a pixie cut the most but that purple suit is like a satellite guided bunker buster missile straight to forgotten childhood memories.

>>11515921
Such a shame Todd couldn't have made one more like this

>>11515927
I would rather have a diaper and a giant bulge than those hideous Marvel Legends hips.

>>11515894
Should've gone Mafex.

>>11515935
How big is that Bane compared to a McFarlane Batman? Thinking about getting him and a Doomsday but there's no way Bane can be the bigger of the two on a shelf.
Thinking about getting either that Mafex Poison Ivy or the old Hush version, but I'm waiting to see what Mattel offers.

>>11515337 (OP)
Now THIS is some high level handposting.

>>11515938
I showed you him compared to AC1000 Superman a few threads ago. Figure it out dude.

>>11515927
I don't know how ML fans can tolerate that ribcage shit.

>>11515945
Don't a lot of DCMV have this as well?

>>11515945

>>11515964
Why did icons fail? The figures look good.

>>11515964
>Todds run ends with everyone hating him and his company being investigated

>>11515964
Felt more like 5 years than 7

>>11515966
No dick

>>11515966
because it's trash no one cares about only batman sells. Mattel will focus on batman for their line by the way and with that new batman movie on the way it's gonna be a year of movie releases

>>11515968
what a legacy

>>11515972
Nope.

>>11515976
given heman masterverse is getting a new movie expect Mattel to focus on movie toylines for the collector market

I hope Mattel's female DC figures are curvy and not twigs.

>>11515956
>Selina cheating on Bruce with Dick
Didn't this actually happen in the comics at one point? He was Nightwing though at the time I wanna say.

>>11515964
Icons were around for longer than a year, or at least it felt like it at the time.

>>11515966
They were by DC Collectibles and were limited to comic shops and other specialty type stores, so the mass market appeal didn't exist. I remember the Rebirth JL pack coming out at Barnes and Nobel but by then it was too late and the line was fishfood. It's a shame, they're still some of the better looking DC figures out there imo.

>>11515991
>dc collectibles
>woke broke company that only sold product at incel stores

no wonder it failed

>>11515966
They "looked" good, but some of the choices in articulation/engineering, sculpt, and accessories left a lot to be desired, even compared to their 7-inch stuff.

>>11516003
Icons was literally better than MLs at the time.

Only problem was that some people felt the scale was too small.... which was not a problem, actually.

>>11515935
>meh
Imagine paying $100 for that Riddler.

>>11515941
Just find the pic and repost it.

>>11516020
No. Do you not remember it? It was like a week ago. Is your brain that fried?

>>11516024
I remember it but I don't want to go back through the Zatanna drama again to look for it and we both know you have a folder of your toy pics. Post that pic right now.

>>11515972
A large amount of fans seem mad that Todd makes only Batman and now a large amount of fans will be mad that Mattel makes only Batman.

>>11516028
No, it's on my phone and I'm too lazy to go get it.

>>11515989
That’s clearly a hush custom

>>11516079
Yes. I need to put the manga Batman belt on and trim the gauntlets

>>11516079
It's Dick with the wrong belt.

>>11515921
After getting hawk girl i began wanting a solid star sapphire, its a shame we wont get a more expanded latern collection in the near future. Killer frost would fucking nice, id prefer her crisis look, for my firestorm but atleast ive got deathstorm.

>>11516110
I bet you’ll tell me this is dick with the wrong bet too huh?

>>11516118
It is. Wrong gauntlets too.

>>11516118
I’d say it’s hush Batman with the wrong head

>>11516124
It's too skinny to be Bruce unfortunately. And Dick is a chinlet compared to Bruce. Why not just get the Hush Batman?

>>11516018
Yeah, I passed on the line because they didn't scale with the rest of the DCD/DCC figures I'd been buying for years which were 6.75". Of course, Essentials which came next and was the right scale wasn't much better(though I still regret not buying Cheetah) and were barebones as hell for the price.

>>11516118
Black is fine for hush except for the belt and head. Mcfarlane just needs to do a 2.0 and release it on this.

>>11516152
Yeah, in the four months he has left to release figures.

Should've just got the best Hush Batman when you had the chance.

Couldn't stand that happy meal yellow.

- orange in the recesses to define the waistcoat
- dark blue under the lapels and around the buttons
- black eyeliner
- metallic green drybrushed onto the hair

>>11516223
oh and a matte spray to get rid of the greasy shine on the suit

>>11516183
Blue is on its way.

>>11516160
If only. Apparently he will be doing supergirl figures and that movie is june 2026

>>11516223
>>11516225

Unfortunately the joints will always be discolored.

>>11516283
That's okay, he's just there to be Harley's boyfriend.

>>11515894
$100 for that Catwoman now, jfc

Is Mister Miracle out officially already? Can't find any sign of him on the MTS but he's on Walmart for $65 being sold from the office Mcfarlane Toys Club??? I thought he was going to be a Target Exclusive?

>>11516329
Collectors are mentally ill innately

>>11516340
For me on Walmart it says 67.98 from toywiz, i.e. scalpers. No idea when he will come out at Target if ever

>>11515968
>and his company being investigated
wut? Please elaborate, haven't heard this one.
>>Todds run ends with everyone hating him
Yep. Just watched his SDCC panel on YT, he really does believe toys are like comics/trading cards with his limited chase bullshit. He wants you hunting, he doesn't care that you have to pay more to scalpers. Fuck Todd.

Fuck it, I'm finally interested in what Mattel is going to do when Todd rightfully loses the licese. Todd can shove his chases up his ass.

I'm guessing Mattel will go back to 1/12 scale, so I can still cherry pick and keep the old DCUC when I want to, and shit will mesh well with Marvel Legends in displays.

I've bought many of the MOTU origins, and they make pretty solid buck bodies. So the DC figures should be pretty solid.

>>11516395
I think this meme that somehow motu origins style could be a dc line that is in any way a dc equivalent to MLs is some kind of Mattel viral marketing. MLs as bad as they are blow origins out of the water in articulation.

>>11516406
Fucking whaaaaat??? WTF are you smoking? Oh, you're just stupid, I see. I'm not even going to bother explaining further, you just want to be contrarian.

For once, I think I have seen a video where literally everyone and their mother in this shitty thread can agree that McFarlane scammed the everloving shit out of his fans.

I know the guy has an accent but I promise you won't regret watching the first 12 minutes

>>11516516
>60 bucks
>12 inch
>zero elbow and knee articulation, instead literally 12 inch Spinmaster type of articulation
>hollow figure
What the fuck is this?

>>11516516
Mcfarlane will never get legs right.

>>11516422
You can't explain because the plain implications of your post were that the dc line was going to be using motu origins style body bucks

>>11516516
Todd is just using up any good will left to get his company through the tariffs, and he had to make a 5poa $60 figure to do it. Someone needs to alert Anthony about this and we could get some funny videos

>>11516521
It's the new Elite KIDS line, patterned after historically successful titan-style 12 inch lines, with a large, imposing size and a stunning 5 points of articulation, it's a perfect way to get little tykes into the Doom(TM) universe!

>>11516223
>>11516225
Cool of you to give the digital code away in the discord.

I bought a dc digital aquaman, the logo on the box is pretty cool.

Why can't Todd afford to fully paint his $35 figures, meanwhile NECA can? What's different about their internal cost structure that makes it profitable for NECA but not Todd? They're both using Chinese factories...

>>11515421
It's a modified Spinmaster Guy with a repainted face.

>>11516827
Amazon sells s shirt with the logo. It’s pretty cool.

>>11516853
DICK HEAD

>>11516516
What a piece of junk!

>>11516970
Did he have solo cortoon? I had a vhs with just aquaman cartoons years back that the logoreminded me of, and now im realizing that dc has had more movies and cartoons tv series than marvel ever had. Like even capt marvel had a solo tv series, but hes a very popular character and probably only had a show due to lawsuit from marvel i guess.

According to toyshiz Todd only madE 2,000 beast boys total LMAO
Mattel can’t come soon enough

Has anyone tried putting the DCC Power Girl head on the McFarlane? Or any other head for that matter?

>>11517045
>BLEH!

>>11516845
Well first of all, McFarlanes don't regularly break out of the box.

>>11517045
As someone who has the McFarlane, I can assure you that figure in its entirety is better than any McFarlane you can put the head on. And no the articulation doesn't matter, it's a damn coomer figure.

>>11517075
That's old NECA, they largely corrected their QC in recent years. Their biggest sin in recent years was that turtles playset thing.

>>11517081
Idk, the New 52 aesthetic sucks and it looks a little twiggy in the legs. You're right about the articulation though, I've actually been looking into statueshit but all the good ones cost hundreds. And I doubt we can rely on Mattel to make one at any point in the near future.

>>11517094
Lest we forget what McFarlane Power Girl's knees look like. She may have chunkier legs but there's very little muscle definition. For a company that used to pride themselves on detailed sculpt, it seems like a mediocre effort at best to me.

>>11517101
Knees are horrendous but I'd say the legs are adequate otherwise. Found this image of the diaper trimmed up and the face touched up, looks alright. Then again, I could just keep waiting and not modify a figure that'll likely go up in value.

>>11517101
idk looks good to me

>>11517111
You're probably conditioned by years of only being offered happy meal toys. Toys need paint to look good.

>>11517101
Jesus Christ I thought people were joking about bad looking knees on McFarlane, outside of static straight leg poses like this >>11517108 it looks so bad. I know they have a rep as glorified statues, but I didn't know it was this bad. What the fuck is that sharp cut on the top of the knee.

>>11517111
>>11517124
Here's one from McFarlane Toys themselves back when they actually painted their figures.

>>11517126
Just what it looks like. Some lazy fuck didn't care and cut the sculpt to create the joint without smoothing it out after. Some McFarlanes actually do this properly but far more with double joints do not. And this company now charges either 26.99, 34.99, 49.99 and 59.99 for their figures.

>>11517045
This figure is like 3 inches shorter than the McFarlane one, it'd look comical

>>11517139
Was DCC stuff not 7 inch? I thought they only went 6 inch with Icons

>>11517143
nta but I know McFarlane Power Girl is a giantess because it uses the WW legs and arms which were too big since McFarlane Toys has no one who monitors and keeps figures in scale.

Aside from the older Kenner figures, can anyone recommend any cool swamp thing figures ?

Also I'm a little green on Funko. I keep seeing what seems like the same exact figure but with a different sticker? If there are any actual different ones please let me know.

Appreciate it!

>>11517131
I think what pisses me off now looking at them more is that they're 7 inches, oversized, supposedly for extra details, but they can't be fucked to do pinless joints. Mattel's fucking Jurassic line is all pinless (both the dinos and 4 inch people), not gonna talk Hasbro because they're also pretty shit at doing pinless.

>>11516572
No, you're clearly not very smart and extremely argumentative just for argumentative's sake. You lack reading comprehension. You stupid fool, the company that makes MOTU bucks is the same company that will be making the DC bucks, I never said they would use the MOTU bucks ON the DC line, you absolute retard. Seriously, shut the fuck up and quit trying to argue all the time.

>>11517155

yeah great idea
the old Kenner one with the net is still the best

>>11517173

I can't believe people actually believed this bullshit, as if you can't fit the same amount of detail in figure that is an inch shorter.

>>11517155
Don't forget the mcfarlane red swamp thing, from planet rann! I ended up custom painting mine a little; some orange to transition into the yellow flowers on the chest and painting the eyes red to match the comic. Also made another custom with some vestigial plant wings for the one with antlers to match the new 52 comic where he fought in that big battle with animal man.

I love the mcfarlane swamp things. Such a hefty figure with a lot of presence on the shelf. My only gripe is that since he's so big, it kind out looks out of scale with the other figures. I know he can be as big or small as he wants, but typically he's only a couple heads taller than the rest of the gang.

>>11517436
>kind out looks out of scale

Anyone know of a good custom for The Joker Baby? I really want one.

>>11517436

Doesn't matter to me since nowhere within 50 miles stocks new McFarlanes anymore. Scalper says Sandman should be here by Saturday.

>>11518029
Yeah in China, Australia, and Indonesia apparently. Or do you consider figures smuggled out of factories to be "in stores"

>>11518028
They're in-store exclusives. Meaning if they're desirable, good luck ever finding them. Neither are on the level of red Cyborg Supes though but that one was a Target Manager Exclusive.

Target is punishing people for not buying Green Girl, Yellow Wrestler, and Flat Top Man with all these in store exclusives.

>>11518298
No, Todd said he could only make 2,000 Beast Boy figures so it was making dud after dud that lead to smaller orders and less shelf presence, to now he's only make a couple hundred of every figure.

>>11516516
>dees feegyure ees a huuges cam.
lol

>>11518299
Green Animal Lad was an SDCC exclusive, not a Target exclusive. The Target exclusives warehouse warmed so Target put the kibosh on online ordering.

>>11518305
He's right, no matter what his accent is.

>>11518290
I know, i think i tried twice for redborg but it just wasnt worth the effort knowing each trip woould be empty handed. But i did get a geo force for cheap once and i didnt even know he had a figure. The sandman would be a nice treat of nostalgia for me, i was a vertigo nerd and really enjoyed both the sandman and mystery theatre. Im still following this line soley for these types of characters getting figures.
Even though i kinda dont like the actual figures and some of the decisions the designers make.

Who is flat top guy?

>>11518359
Batman just rubbed baby oil all over his suit...why?

>>11518446
So you can shove em up ur ass.
Sorry I had to, anon.

Local Walmart got in a new shipment of DC figures: Trokia Batman, Yellow Silver Age Batman, and whatever the fuck that shitty repaint Azreal Batman is supposed to be. Any of them any good?

>>11518359
It's the same body. The shoulder caps are in too far on Batman.

>>11518461
No, but Troika Batman could be your last chance at a wired cape Batman, despite the look being pretty nonstandard and bad. Unless you have Cowardly Lot Batman still hanging around the pegs

>>11518470
Same can be said about Azrael Bats; it's JPV's final form Batsuit in a color scheme that Kenner came up with because they despised the version of the red AzBat suit used in the actual comics and created their own OC color scheme.

>>11518527
That's not how it happened.

Well, who couldve ever forseen this development? I know it has some prop replicas but damn man, and tariffs werent even a thing yet.

>>11518547
Todd's goons said the only way they can release a Nicholson Joker is if it's in a deluxe retardo edition for $250.
Plus if those things are sitting on Amazon's shelves they'll just want them gone to make space for other products that won't pegwarm.

>>11518547
We live in a get what you deserve

>>11518556
To be fair, Nicholson asks a LOT of money for his likeness. It's why nobody but Hot Toys has done it.

>>11518558
It isn't all that much.

Everyone says Jack charges a lot for his likeness but has anyone asked him about it lately? Doubt he'd care much if you gave him some Lakers tickets and cheeseburgers, he'd probably just raise his eyebrows and be like, "Yeah sure go make some dolls, loser."

>>11518600
>Doubt he'd care much
It's one of the only ways he gets money since he retired.

>>11518359
>obviously wired cape
so you FAGGOTS LIED to me AGAIN, huh

>>11518600
you don't actually go through Jack, you go through his agents who are upcharging so they can get paid.

>>11518529
Then how did it happen then?

In order.

>>11518621

Says who? (you're a literal nobody). 1000 Sandman's are probably more than the market even needs.

>>11518701
Sandman is needed for JSA team building

>>11518705
No shit??? Gosh, you'd think Todd would have the sales data to show how many Sandman's the market could support. I liked the JSA but I'm not buying any of them. Just because a figure's on a team doesn't mean everybody is buying that team.

>>11518638

Back when I was poor, I had no bad guy toys. So when I played around, "The Hand" was an overpowered villain. Not my favorite memory.

I got these over the week

I don't like the fact how something made in 2025 have worst articulation in general out of the 4.

I mean with the DC direct stuff are literally reissue of figures from 10+ years ago. But They hold up quite in term of design.


Like, did people at McFarland forget that they are making action figures and not just psoable a statue?

I do remember many years ago I was thinking about getting some of DC direct in their original release form. But from what I heard those were full of qc's and brittle plastic.

>>11518682
>>11518683
You are actually a fucking retard if you think either of those look like Jack Nicholson. They're not using his likeness rights at all. Stop being a blind asshole. It's no different than a Funko Pop.

When Target holds a figure hostage, how do you feel?

Which of these two is superior in your eyes?

>>11518935
How desperate for engagement are you?

>>11518936
You may think this is an anti-Mattel post, but look closer at the figures. There are things Mattel does better and there are others McFarlane does better.

Look at how the shading on the jacket is properly distributed to make it look like a real coat on the Mattel, or how wrist wraps and hand wraps are actually there and painted on Mattel's figure. Note also that the Mattel figure has thigh cuts and hides its articulation better. It also has a true ab crunch so it likely can go further forward than the McFarlane.

The McFarlane on the other hand has double joints and paid more attention to texturing and shading on the Batsuit and the headsculpt, even as they neglected shading on the coat. The McFarlane obviously has an overall higher POA though how much of it is usable in the chest and legs is in question.

>>11515337 (OP)
Are there any legit companies releasing future figures of DCAU? Found pic related and felt nostalgic but I'm wary of their quality since they are a third party plus they are too big.

>>11518950
>Paranoid ChatGPT poster

>>11518953
McFarlane, because I can apply a wash to the coat to make it look better. If it had to be unmodified I don't think I'd buy either the McFarlane or the Mattel just because the McFarlane coat looks so plasticky. Especially at the top where your eyes will be drawn to on most figures.

>>11518955
You're right to be skeptical. Also never buy based on just a render even if it wasn't third party. Thankfully it's easy to tell those are renders, but some companies are getting better at disguising that fact in some promo images.

>>11518990
I have only seen one guy reviewing them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ail1M-eERs8 but only with batman.

>>11519004
That might be enough to go off of to think the Superman might come out similar but I'd be wary of the Wonder Woman unfortunately given it's quite a different type of figure with less or no(?) cloth goods, so a Batman review probably wouldn't be applicable. Could also run into QC issues that are specific per figure.

There's something off about the "look" of the Batman figure though in that review, it doesn't replicate the animation exactly the way I'd like in some of its choices. And as you noted these are pretty huge at 1/6. That's enough downsides that I'd pass but I haven't heard of anyone but McFarlane putting out smaller scale of these recently and we all know what McFarlane quality is like. Maybe someone else will know of a 1/10 ot 1/12 scale third party doing something...

>>11518897
Nta but are you literally faceblind? >>11518682 looks exactly like Nicholson, it's not even up to debate. If you're unable to see it, you should go see a ophthalmologist. Not even trying to be a dick here

>>11519040
>looks exactly like Nicholson
Oh dear God, you are actually retarded. No wonder these places can sell a toy without using the actor's rights, there's dolts like you that will pay up and think it's right.

>>11519015
Im retarded. He actually did review Superman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH4i12LAU64

What I dont like about this figure is the cloth goods. If the joints have any problems, the cloths would be hard to remove. I have the same exact problem with dasin kenshin.

>>11518897
>>11519072
That Beast Kingdom is LITERALLY using a Jack Nicholson likeness you absolute fucking retard. Why are you doubling down so fucking hard on this? Just because you were wrong from the start, you have to keep digging deeper into your hole of despair?

Holy Christ dude, seek help and shut the fuck up.

>>11519136
>LITERALLY using a Jack Nicholson likeness
It literally is not. They skirted the likeness rights by doing something incredibly off. But you're apparently too fucking dumb to see that. It's literally like a Funko pop. Make it so wrong you don't have to pay. Damn you're retarded.

>>11519152
>It's literally like a Funko pop.
So, you're just trolling because you can't leave mommie's basement, huh. Its amazing both how wrong you are, but also just how absolutely hostile you have to be about being proven wrong and retarded. You poor thing!

It's officially licensed. Why are you this starved for attention?

>>11519183
I'm sorry you don't understand context. The sculpt is not Jack, it is a "close enough to not legally warrant payment" bootleg style attempt. Go to school now, you're late.

Some other kindly anon posted this in the Mafex thread, so I can't take credit, but it looks like Mafex Bane and Hush are getting reissued. Both are priced pretty good tbqh.

>>11519278
After the tariffs on importing from that site, they won't be priced so good.

>>11519302
I got bane for $88 on Amazon when he went up for preorder

>>11519278
Which one would you guys suggest? Would mafex bane look decent with mcfarlane knightfall or should i just get the mcfarlane bane on sale come christmas time?

>>11519323
You will never get McFarlane Bane at a reasonable price.

Most toy influencers have insiders in Target, Walmart and other big retailers that allow them to secure drops that no one else can.

>>11519328
Meh, that boxed set is gonna be around for awhile. If not then thats ok, ill get that sweet ass toddsmod figure instead.

>>11518886

>>11519323
I suggest you get rid of McFart-lames and take the import pill.

>>11519323
Mafex Bane is too small to go with McFarts. Not sure why you all think you can mix and match two different scales.

>>11519645
Itd have better articulation.
>>11519690
Its my collection? Id hate to have super powers, imaginext and mcfarlanes on my dc shelf. Thatd really suck to have my dc figures on a shelf together.

>>11519436
I have insiders at both but that’s because they’re family and I’m trash. My cousin Sarah works at target and she looks for and puts back figures I want. I’ll usually go over to her place on Saturday night to pick whatever up and we always end up smoking a bowl and having sex. She’s my first cousin.
My Walmart connection is a single mother I went to school with. She’s 3 years older than me and it’s the same deal. Weekend pickups with smoking and fucking.
If I’m being honest the single mother has the tighter pussy. Something’s wrong with female zoomers.

I never get this

Why do people want wire with cape.
I had a few wired capes with DAH figures and those always keep getting in the way with play.

>rubber cape
I would probably get more Mcfarlane's DC stuff if not for the fact 90% of his DC figures all have rubber cape. Have played with some, I always had a hard time to balance the figure with how heavy the cape were.


>Mcfarlane are just statue with moving parts

Yeah, now I see why . People just make a poses and forget about it.

>Their last DC effort was total crap
I'll politely disagree. I thought the deigns were serviceable, sculpts were mostly good and selections were great. It was also in 6 inch scale and compatible with Marvel Legends And other lines but /toy/ has always had a hateboner for DCUC, mostly for articulation or at least that was the excuse.

>that horrific subscription model that pissed people off
And I was one of them

>McFarlane did some things to set Mattel up for failure
Agree maybe for different reasons but Todd's run just didn't FEEL like DC. Also who the fuck was buying mono colored variants of characters?
>start the collector line at a ridiculously high price
Agreed, any other observation is a /pol/ issue

>They will have to make deeper cuts
The DCUC line made deeper cuts than anyone in DC toy history, Ultra Humanite, OMAC, Jemm, Silver Age Doom Patrol, Metal Men were miracles.

>screwed if they do and screwed if they don't on scale
You are 100% correct on that. DC toy fans are already heavily splintered because age/era of DC history but now you have to throw size/scale into consideration as well.

> they are chained to Gunn's movies
I suppose this is to be expected, question is how much wiggle room will they have?

Personally I'm not expecting DCUC to come back but I am hoping for 6inch scale and the occasional comic accurate deep cut but if we get 7inch modern I'll just continue to cherry pick.

>>11520711
Forearms from either spawn Batman or Hugo Batman. Can’t remember. Color is off. Pretty sure I fucked up and put the wrong ones on because I thought I double checked the color beforehand. No longer have the donor figures to check. No clue where they went.
Current plan is to put silver age forearms on and swap the gloves with no man’s land. Greys won’t match but it’ll be close enough. Blues should be exact.

>>11520677
The total crap comment was about mattel's dc multiverse line. DCUC wasn't as bad for its time besides the subscription stuff though that was pretty bad

>>11520944
See the reason I don't believe Todd is that responsible for many figure choices (not even as many as he would like you to believe to make it seem like he is 'in control') is that I consistently see other companies doing the same looks at the same time. People did some Returns figures recently, Beast Kingdom is doing Penguin for example, and Todd has his Returns wave coming. Higher end companies were doing Batman and Robin at near the same time Todd had a wave of that. Hot Toys does Killing Joke soon after Todd did that cover exclusive figure of it. High end statue guys even did Death Metal stuff around when Todd did as well. Spin Master did a Batman Forever wave and batmobile from that movie around the same time as Todd.

Obviously if it was only recent movies all being done around release to promote the movie it is obviously licensor mandated. But these are old films or even forced comic run promotion like Death Metal -- there seem to be other things the licensor can tell them to make and they have to go along with it because you can see a coordinated effort across unrelated companies.

Alan Moore has said that's all he did (as if it wasn't enough) but over the years it's been Mandela'd that he raped her. Of course it hasn't helped that Moore has put a LOT of rape into his comics.

>>11520988
Why does any woman admire Harley?

>>11521173
Yeah, but he didnt rape her right? I havent read it in years but that scene ends by leaving it up to the readers imagination i thought.

>>11521437
The way the scene is portrayed implies he at least tortured her, but in reality it could be just >>11520986
People take the whole thing even further saying he also raped Gordon just because Batman finds him bounded and naked, but I think it was just a way to humiliate him. Still, that is to expect because like >>11521173 said Moore love to get people raped in his comics, specially men. He even did a crazy reverse rape in one of them where an eldritch demon inside some 13yo girl swap bodies with a guy and rape the guy while he is inside the girls body, but at the same time the guy can watch the rape through his own eyes. Yeah, he's already on that level where normal rape is not enough for him.

>>11515883

>In Batman All star he rapes and kills a woman
>Batman 1989 the woman with a burnt face is clearly implied to be an abuse/rape victim
>Ayer's cut Suicide Squad has the same Batman All Star scene which can be seen on trailers but was cut from the meme cut. Also he pisses on Harley's face in a cut scene. Then the script has Batman having some rough, kinda forceful sex with Harley
>Everything culminates with Joker II in which we finally see that rape can actually cure his madness, like Kryptonite to Superman

So yes, Joker and rape go hand in hand
