dude, seriously, there are like 7 layers of natural fabric flow moulded into those drawers. I haven't even seen a Calvin Klein ad with that much detail. Those things are positively lifelike.

>>11556197
Everyone knows McFarlane Toys is run by faggots.

>>11556197
Black Mask is a connoisseur of the finest underwear brands, he knows better than even Batman how to wear underwear on the outside.

>>11556166
Only males have long legs. Why waste plastic on female figures? They don't sell and are yucky.

>>11556239
>Only males have long legs.
elizabeth debicki proves Todd wrong.

>>11556154
There's no one at DC editorial or in WB Consumer Products who gives a fuck about E2; DC Direct made a batch of those and the only ones that sold really REALLY well were the Huntress and Pee Gee two pack. The Hawk Girl and a few others are hard to find but they don't sell for nosebleed prices.

Oh that's Black Mask? Who the fuck hasn't dressed up like Batman?

>>11556388
Catwoman?
Seriously, of batroughes probably Mr. Freeze, Bane, maybe Riddler. more than a few?

These are dope. I'm not sure why McFarlane consumers don't just switch to these types of non-articulated figures. They literally look more dynamic than a McFarlane so they will probably be more posed than your articulate figure (you guys love putting them in neutral museum poses), but they also have way better sculpts and paintwork. I just picked up the Robin on auction for $50.

>>11556510
> I just picked up the Robin on auction for $50.
You just gave the answer: too expensive. Those who just want the Bat family were buying $23-25 figures and it has only recently jumped to 27, besides Steph who was 28 due to the digital scam. Anyone buying figures now is buying weird niche characters as CEs for 35 or will be buying the next wave of weird niche Batman looks for 27. These are not the audience for those statues you see there which are pretty standard looks like mcfarlane has already made back when they were 20-23, besides Alfred. So maybe the Alfred would be a good get for people?

>>11556469
Dressing up as Batman for a weird puzzle seems like something the riddler would do

>>11556779
Don't need it, but that actually looks pretty good.

>>11556779
Easiest reuse choice they could've made, I'm surprised they didnt do it until now. Could've made Black Mask with that body too but of course they're so, so scared of the "Man in Suit no Sell" myth, when sales depend on the characters' prominence and notoriety, and many men in suits are plain, unimportant and just aren't worth making. But that doesn't go for someone whose head is a literal skull mask

>>11556823
If the head and neck aren’t one piece I’ll get it for the head then return it. Everything else about it looks fucking awful.

>>11556823
Did he spill something on himself? Whats the stain on the bat symbols lore?

>>11556833
Catwoman “squirted” on his chest when he was eating her pussy.

>>11556779
Somehow, some way Mafex did it better.

>>11556833
In the comics it lights up on this particular suit, so I I can only assume that's what Todd is trying to emulate here.

>>11556834
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Batman does not, I repeat, does not commit oral sex. It doesn't fit the standards of DC.

>>11556838
Sorry bro it’s canon

>>11556829
The head and neck are one piece, you can tell even in the image based on the gap from the neck piece and the plastic cowl cover, which would not be needed if the neck was separate from the head. You can also tell just based on what mold its using and the past reuse of said mold.

And yes it looks like more lazy, garbage reuse. Most stuff since summer has been skippable.

>>11556744
>for a weird puzzle
I don't read enough batwank to know but even a deep image search doesn't cough up anything with any variant of Edward/Eddie or "Riddler" or Ngyma with Batman/dressed as Batman/cos-play or anything else. So who knows.
Certainly no one on DC Gen reads fucking comics

Scarecrow is objectively the best Batman villain tho.

>>11556969
He looks good, but is he $27 good? Is he good enough to drop everything and rush to the website and preorder in 2 seconds before he sells out?

I mean, actually, is he even $27 or is he some other strange version, or will they just go from $27 to $30 for shits and giggles.

>>11556969
Once again, Mafex did it better. Medicom eats McTodds lunch.

>>11556969
not buff enough

>>11557048
The Mafex doesn't even have a wash. It'll move better but the Mafex definitely looks worse. This thing looks like its covered in a black wash which is how it should be.

>>11557048
No. Because it’s not hush shit it’s instantly better.

Fuckin a todd, whyd you wait till the license expired to start making bat shit people want to buy???

>>11557690
it probably will be
you should hope some outlier like GameStop or BestBuy carries it, rather than hoping on todd's online dumpster fire of a storefront or bezos

when all these idiots were talking about their pre-orders for todd's PeeGee or getting the coat version when their preorder came in or some other shit, I had no trouble getting it from BestBuy with free shipping.

>No effort.
The McFarlane motto

>>11556510
I own the New 52 Superbro of these Koto made but only because I won it in a auction where someone was selling it together with an DC Icon ('open,' in the package and allegedly 'never played with' - which turned out to be true because the twist-ties were still attached, the ones you have to cut to remove).
And I paid essentially what I would have paid for the DC Icon (about $20/$25, it was a few years back) and shipping was free.
I think the seller expected to make bank with the auction and wasn't one of those scammy sellers who cancel auctions before it closes when it's lear there's only one bidder because they knew they were going to get hosed big time.

>>11558404
You're right - they do look better as far as being say a 3D version of a comic book page/cover/panel, and the paint jobs are FAR FAR better but they always do one weird thing -
>hIE144124590911.jpg
>12345.jpg
in these, I'd say the faces have that foreign/uncanny valley/Asian twink facial appearance that really only appeals to tmblr fan girls.

I have the full Justice League set of these and for statues, they're not bad. I still have them on display after all these years.

A bunch of shipping containers 'fell' off a cargo ship in long beach, ca. Im not a conspiracy freak but im willing to bet some dc multiverse were in these containers. They never did find the last shipping container thart was 'stolen' from mcfarlane did they? Is it a insurance scam, or is todd just paying off his scalper friends by losing so much potential inventory?

>>11558527
How does this keep happening? Jesus Christ. Regardless of what was on there, what the hell.

>>11558566
It happens all the time to many companies. Humans make mistakes.

>>11558404
And still better than actual modern comic art making them all look 40.

What are my options for Superboy Prime?
I know there's a Yellow Lantern version, so there has to be a normal version too.

>>11558604
Todd made a normal one years ago I think

>>11558604
Todd's version is the best because he modified the shoulder pads. The DC Direct and DCUC versions have the shoulder pads be a solid piece meaning arm articulation is utterly gimped.

>>11558318
Valley Forge - planning to shit-up and op take-over all the major toy franchises, apparently

>>11558604
>Yellow Lantern version
You can easily make one if you are willing to paint over a mcfart - and the mcfarlane is easy to find dirt cheap. you might have to dig or wait, since Bezolandia has it up to $24 which is absurd when Ross was overstuffed with boxes of 'em for $5.99, but that's a timing thing. BBTS has had him on sale since forever and probably had him marked down even more for their Labor Day sale. If you wait till Black Friday, you can probably pick up two for the price of one and paint one.

>>11558695
>the DC Direct and DCUC
Both the DC Direct

e14e8225d9ac4d93a6a05ba4c8a2981flg.jpg
have really unfortunate heads, besides the shoulder problems the other anon mentioned; I prefer the absence of diapers and that the color scheme on both is a bit less of an eye-sore than todd's but folks who want a lot of articulation will sell you on the mcfarlane.

>>11558516
>full Justice League set
If the Flash and Hal from that set were reasonably or didn't require buying the entire set, I would add them and display those three on the regular since they are reasonably sized, but they often aren't, especially second hand.

>Free him
After a couple of years of too much auction shopping, ended up with some 10-20 figurine, PVC and porcelain statues and only ever display about 2-5 at any one time.

Should sell some since they are still boxed up and 'new' and were just inadvertent wins from combined set. But that's the problem with extra closet space and laziness!

The ones I really like, like the Bombshell statue and the Dragon kit, have been pretty muich permanently displayed since I moved, but I should probably rotate those out the next time I do a major dust + clean.

>>11558300
Honestly the figure looks better than the actual Earth-2 design.

>>11559008
My ass used to look like this now I have what’s called dead ass. Feels bad man. Unlike normal dead ass my check muscles blew out like a bicep. Two folded flap jacks hanging behind me.

>>11559008
His buttocks is horrifying. Looks more like an Attack on Titan thing.

>>11559010
That was not the most common E2 design used in the books and, for that matter, that Batman didn't exist long in the run.

>>11556169
It's a shame about the eyes because otherwise this could potentially have been a good head to use to make the condom version of the Tim Drake costume.

>>11559342
Just so i understand by condom you mean the red robin outfit? Im not very familiar with anything new 52 onwards so im unsure what look you refer to.

>>11559342
>>11559359
kek I forgot about condom head robin. I felt bad for tim fans, even Morrison didn't know what to do with him.

>>11559008
>abs on his lower backs

>>11559621
I'd want a customizer to show how they fixed that figure's head

>>11559640
I like the face, i cant tell what it is she is trying to express. Is she holding a hard fart, is she hiding nuts in her cheeks, did she catch reed and herbie?

>>11555880 (OP)
Ideally if you could have any company take over the license who would it be? It's highly unlikely but do you think at minimum they should be Storm Arena quality? Those are the best 1/12 figures I've seen at the $20-30 price range. And by quite a long shot. I don't collect but follow a little bit and the quality of McFarlane and Marvel Legends seems quite low and cheap looking in comparison.

>>11559729
Storm Arena is bbts exclusive. Exclusives are dangerous.

>>11559729
I just picked up a Zeerian Spyre from Four Horseman's Cosmic Legions line for $40 and feel like this was a fair price. The paint apps and sculpt are incredible, they're what McFarlane Toys used to want to be. There are extra hands and weapons, an extra head, and a wired cape.

It doesn't operate under the delusion that kids are buying toys and looks incredible for a fair price point. I'm okay with paying a little more if it's obvious they're putting in more effort than Marvel Legends or McFarlane.

>>11559843
Forgot she comes with a hologram of a planet that fixes into her arm.

>>11559416
>>11559359
That's not Nu52 - it's at least one or two before that, I think starting from when Kon died post the fight with Superboy Prime.

I'm not really a huge batman fan, so I'd want ONE Tim that stands out and that's the one. I do own the McFarlane one from last year or the year before, but I'm not a fan. I don't want the DC Direct Alex Ross version since that's an adult Tim, and the figure kinda gives that feel (PIC REL). Also there are differences in that figure to the one that was being used in the mainline comics.

I already own the Red Hood of my dreams (and just need to fix the arm on that particular Nightwing) and I'm set with all the Robins since I pretend the demon spawn - and anything else/anyone else - doesn't exist.

I just need a Golden Age/Silver Age age Dick in the classic Robin outfit, and I never have to look at more Batmerch for the rest of my life.

>>11559844
>>11559843
>Four Horseman's Cosmic Legions
Not for me but I agree SOME of these seem reasonably priced. I do like this, for example:
https://store-horsemen.myshopify.com/collections/in-stock/products/pre-order-mythic-legions-heads-pack-1

And if Todd had offered us a choice of six swap-able Superman heads, or six alternate heads for a Flash, for some $30, I would have jumped all over that.

The weapons section was also cool. I could see doing some Amazonian figures with some of those, or doing some customs, like medieval or samurai Elseworlds, or even the Dark Knights of Steel arcs, with some of those weapons, but the listings all look like "informational only" posts with none of them showing prices. Which is fine, but I'd like to know they do re-issues, for example.

As far as prices, yes many were $40 or so, but I noticed a chunk are $50/60. And again, while I appreciate what this is, I'm not the audience for much of what's shown or listed for sale.

This company would probably do a better job on MotU than Mattel, as well as Conan, and I could see them doing a Xena revival, if that ever happens, or the Warhammer movie action figures, if that also ever actually happens. But licensed figures are also always going to cost more because of paying the licensed IP.

>>11559855
Yeah their head and weapons packs are really nice. All of their figures are designed to be interchangeable and kitbashed so you can army build anything, encouraging people to buy multiples. The blue chick is their only release I've liked enough to buy so far but I really respect their unique aesthetics and philosophy towards running a toy company.

I'm still pissed and disgusted at the entire $60 Zatanna situation and it's kind of soured the entire experience of buying DC toys for a while, so I'm not too eager to start collecting characters I just bought in another scale. What I'd be really interested in and what seems like a blind spot no one has mined yet would be accessories.

I've always said a pack of Lantern effects and a green flight stand would sell like crazy. A giant gargoyle for character to brood on top of. Super villain lab stuff. The JSA roundtable, a JLA watchtower console and teleporter pad. Pods for batsuit armor displays that can link and stack together. Instead of selling a giant Batcave just sell pieces of it in mini sets like the computer, the gym, the giant penny, etc. It seems so obvious since regardless of what line people collect they could include props for their displays, and maybe, just fucking maybe, remember what it was like to actually play with toys instead of treating them like collectible platinum investments.

>>11559864
>and what seems like a blind spot no one has mined yet would be accessories.
yep, like I said, that collection of heads looks really good.
someone can release a basic Green Lantern buck and then have some say Tomar-Re hands and a head, with a Kyle head, Hal head - FFS even a John Stewart head.

Likewise, you can do some unmasked heads for flash, like a crew cut, silver age Barry Allen, and a modern Barry, and one or two Wally's and then two with a full cowls.

It would be great for army building. I saw the Superman robot at Target today and skimmed a few reviews that all mentioned the same thing - it was a failing not to provide numbered plates that could be swapped to army build those robots and also alternate heads, instead of face plates. But it looks like Todd just wants to take the cheap and easy short cut, especially by created fake FOMO with these absurd minimalist production runs.

>said a pack of Lantern effects and a green flight stand
Yep, I bought a lot of loose Lantern power batteries exactly for this reason, even though I have to add missing handles and will need to repaint some of them.
Everything else you mentioned sound good, but Todd very clearly wanted to nickle and dime us. I bought two of his three weapons accessory pack fand will likely end up selling about half of them once I figure out which ones I really want to keep and use. Most of them are pointless for what he's issued or become something like an excess of accessories for 1-2 characters.
To be fair, I imagine Mattel does this to Barbie buyers and Hasbro and other companies do it for their IPs. I don't think I've ever seen a good set/collection of accessories for any one Marvel Legends I own or ever considered buying.

In fact, I was there returning my CE Luthor.

>>11559640
They simply gave her makeup, they follow the same steps women use irl and it works. The eyes are the most important part, that darker paint (I know shit about makeup so I don't know the real name) make the eyes bigger and more attractive, just goggle Eva Green with and without makeup. Also they add a thing layer on the cheeks to give the proper volume.

Someone approved this.

>>11560352
Why are the pistols red?

>>11560125
aside from the lips and eyeshadow/liner, there's no make up.

The volume on the cheeks just looks shadows caused by natural lighting falling on the shape of the head that's painted with matte/semi-matte paint.

pic on the left has super bright lights on a glossy face, making it look all washed out and undetailed.

I hate ai. Give good old fashioned man made mistakes or misinformation.
I dont think the figure looks awful, just the colors are too distracting and kinda just bury the figure. I wonder if the pistols will be gummy like some other accesories todd has put out.

1/12 Batwing

>“Screeching from the sky towards Joker’s balloons here comes the ultimate 1/12 scale Batwing from Jazzinc Dioramas”

>Ready to launch on Thursday September 25th on our newly built ‘Back the Build’ section of the site with full kickstarter functionality, AND with payment plans. Built by Jazzinc Dioramas, so you’ll know it’s accurate! We will offer 4 sets (set 4 shown):

>Set 1) 1/12 scale batwing, fully painted, shaded and weathered, with landing pods (also for mounting vertically) with light-up features on the outside and inside the cockpit, with moving flaps, optional scissors, gatling gun and world DC power adapter included (Price $319)

>Set 2) Same as Set 1 but with optional Dynamic Flight Stand ($345)

>Set 3) Same as Set 1 but with optional Sitting Batman Pilot accessory ($369)

>Set 4) Same as Set 1 but with both optional Dynamic Flight Stand and Sitting Batman Pilot accessory ($395)

>MORE INFORMATION TO COME!

>>11561169
Can you point it upwards like the scene in the movie where the moon became a batsignal?

I ordered the reissue of Mafex Hush because it was cheap from Nin Nin games with the conversion rate, but they didn't get it out on time before De Minimis ended so it's sitting in limbo.

>>11561343
If that were true there'd be nothing here but spinmaster

>>11561333
It's been two weeks since todd entered my dreams.

>>11561384
Yeah between the $60 Zatanna bullshit and that schizo's OP meltdown copypasting entire threads a couple weeks ago everyone's abandoned this nightmarish hellscape of a general.

>>11561333
Ive bought spoiler, superboy and a lemon flavored batman and mr bones, who has shipped and i expect to recieve in the next three months because todd ships figures as shit as he does release them.
I am curious where the general will be once mattel starts to release info on their line and we can compare the two against each other.

>>11561416
I'm going to overhype Mattel so hard, especially since I know Todd's shills lurk here and hate when anyone talks about cooler toys than greasy McFarts. If they're smart they'll show off a first wave with a $20 Zatanna before Todd releases his NFT scam edition version.

If Swolecrow doesn't stick around for an hour for me to bundle it with the Marvel Legends that day, I'm not buying it, Todd.

>>11561418
Hate to be the one to tell you, but super articulated figures will NEVER be $20 again, anon.

>>11561442
Still going to be less than $60 and no artificial scarcity or chase variant retardation.

>>11561445
Certain figures will be Mattel creations exclusives and sell out in 1 second, just like MOTU

>>11561418
Most people don’t even know who Zatanna is.

>>11561488
Yeah okay, as if they don't know the batfamily's magical whore they pass around.

GameStop just delivered the NO SUNGLASSES/NO JACKET Kon and hopefully one of the PP Brainiac soldiers so I can fucking finally start army building (I'm the anon who keeps getting the shitty chase variants - even though you idiots told me to buy from Crapazom).

But I used $6 in points and my monthly $5 pro coupon (plus pro discount) and got free shipping, so I am only about $45 out of pocket plus sales tax.

I'm curious about the Jay Flash #123 and potentially Jess but she's a chase and I'm not wasting energy on a McFart chase. But honestly, I don't think I'll buy anything else other tan two more Brainiac soldier or something that BBTS or someone else DEEPLY discounts between now and Todd getting his just rewards.

>>11561605
Figure's face, at least based on this prototype, isn't the best of all of the imports, etc;
plus it's a face plate versus an actual, swapable head, so far from a win in many folk's book;
capes also look as cheap as what Spin Master uses and worse than Todd's put on most Superpowers

Finally, who wants to pay an additional $20-$50 handling De Minimis fees just to order this?

>>11561985
I like the character, anon.
In fact, if Gaimen wasn't currently Persona non-Grata, and if Allred would give the sign-off (which is always a question), I'd love to see a 6 episode animated adaptation of the Wednesday Comic of Metamorpho - it even takes place somewhat in one of the poles plus features the 'Star of Atlantis' so there are all sorts of ways to tie it in to other DCU projects.

Plus the art is neat and I've always wanted to see a set of Allred based action figures (besides Mad Man, of course).

>>11561990
Yeah, he totally gives off hoarder vibes. I never followed him but he's always good to check out for non-batwank. And he's got SO MANY of those mcfart his comparisons at the end are a good way to see how things display against other mcfarts - I sometimes just scrub to the articulation part and then to the comparison part.

>>11562194
This is about as good as a McFarlane gets, even has the honor of The Wire.

>>11562203
I can respect a hoarder's pile of cool stuff but that owning that eradicator is a sign there's no consideration for aesthetic quality, no taste, no personality, just indiscriminate spending.

Blindly chasing the next release is just a sign of mental illness and I find addiction repulsive. I hold the same opinion for anyone who owns a Power Girl with a jacket or any Wonder Woman that isn't the collector's edition version.

>anyone who has more than four figures is a hoarder

>>11562204
The bat symbol isn't even the correct color. It's supposed to be black inside, not grey.

I think the biggest issue with the McFarlane toys ever since the beginning has been lack of accessories and bad accessories when they were included. They were always too chunky, soft sculpts, just bad.

>>11562228
Did you look at the artwork on the card they are referencing. The bat symbol is gray on it. It's from a comic. She has a comic look, just not the exact look you wanted. Try again.

>>11562235
>sucking todd's cock this hard
Fuck off, faggot.

>>11562236
>Admitting he is factually incorrect
Thanks

>>11562220
>>11562222
I do feel like there needs to be some kind of controls on what companies are allowed to pollute the world with when it comes to action figures. Like a technocratic board of taste. And if they see something that poorly color coordinated or >>11560352, they need to be able to veto and say "no, this is a crime against art, you cannot waste plastic making this"

>>11562235
To be fair, half the time the card art doesn't merch the figure, even when the figure is based off a ver specific look. I mean loo at Blue Eradicator as a perfect example. The figure itself is based off the holographic Eradicator AI Superman implemented into the Fortress in the 2023 comic run. It's very specifically based off that particular version, but for whenever reason Todd decided to use some other artwork of a non hologram version of Eradicator that isn't the same version as the figure. It's weird.

>>11562245
That Eradicator is based on picrel. It's not some random color variant so there is some precedence for it to exist. To be fair, I don't expect you to know this, not because you're a casual, but I can't I'm good faith expect someone to read a DC or Marvel comic that came out post 2020, so I'll cut you some slack. I didn't even know about this version until I googled it.

>>11562254
I was aware it was based on a scene in a comic because someone said it in these threads in the past. It doesn't matter. It is an abomination whose creation should be vetoed.

It looks nothing like that page as his face isn't sheet white on the page, his arms are darker, still resembling black, rather than clearly blue, the red is lighter in the comic while dark to the point of purple in the figure. There's also no gridwork that is found on the comic on the figure itself.

Had McFarlane actually made a good approximation of that comic image it might not be worthy of ban from sale, as it is, ban it.

Hasbro's Star Wars holo series look like holograms, and they're a lazy company. This is just beyond lazy and into negligence.

>>11562265
Just because you don't like something doesn't mean everyone else needs to as well. It makes for a decent variant to the regular Eradicator so I don't see the issue.

>>11562274

>>11562280
See above. You butt babies would have a leg to stand on if you didn't act like massively entitled faggots just because a toy no one is forcing you to buy exists. Cucks like you have driven off all the actual quality posters around here because no one wants to listen to your perpetual bitching.

Strange response to laughing at a hoarder.

>>11562282
You do realize that plastic is a pollutant, right? It ends up in our landfills, in the waterways and in our bodies due to microplastics. Whenever someone makes a wasteful product like >>11562220 they are ejecting pounds of plastic directly into landfills. So no, I reject the idea that because I don't have to buy it that it doesn't affect me. Todd polluting the world with that figure does affect me. No man is an island.

>>11562287
If you truly gave a fuck about the environmental impact of plastics on the earth you wouldn't be buying toys in the first place, not pick and choose which figures deserve to get made based on your goofy little girl notions of what should be made. It's beyond selfish and makes you look like a literal goddamn baby by throwing a temper tantrum and calling anyone who buys figures you don't like a hoarder. Sorry for the rant but I'm so sick and tired of the senseless bitching about toys no one is forcing you to buy. Don't like it? Don't buy it and shut the fuck up. But kevetching every time someone buys a toy you don't think is worth it is fucking annoying and the kind of behavior that has killed this board. Now, fuck off.

>>11562293
Not that anon, but it was the $60 Zatanna that killed this general.

>>11562296
Detective Chimp is the plastic waste Todd made to justify that one

>>11562297
Wrong. It's the NFT scam coupon. All $60 elite editions are a scam.
Fuck Todd, fuck his shit licking minions, fuck his cancer toy company.

>>11562296
This general was long dead before that. And I'm talking about board culture in general. No one actually posts their toys anymore other than a handful of people that you idiots constantly trying to chase off. I don't know if it's because you're all jealous babies that they can afford more than $7 a month for their hobby or if you're insecure about something or if you're just genuinely just retarded. But I'm sick of it. When 4chan went down earlier this year the general consensus that when it returned was that /toy/ has no good alternative, but you've driven off so much of the actual userbase that the board is basically dead.

Look, I'm sorry people like you or >>11562298 and others have been priced out of this hobby. But stop taking it out on the rest of us like giant babies. Find another hobby. Go outside, take up fishing, hiking, bird watching, something. Not being able to afford to collect action figures and then perpetually seething about it online is just going to destroy your mental health. Rant over. Kindly fuck off all of you.

>>11562298
No one who buys the figures actually thinks these NFTs are worth anything. He has to put in extra plastic to justify it to collectors

>>11562316
Collectors decided it was not justified, and so here we are. Dead general.

>This general was long dead before that. And I'm talking about board culture in general.
Welcome to 2011.These types of assholes need to hate on something they can recognize.
First they came after the trip/namefags, saying if they finally left, the board would be at peace. When tripfagging became unpopular, they started to shit on toy reviewers. For whatever reason, toy reviewers became less popular (died, disappeared, thread crackdowns?). So then thee assholes started coming after anons who regularly posted photographs of their toys, because they no longer hand tripfags and reviewers to hate on.
Now Generals are constantly harassed by these assholes, because it's the only thing that they can hate on now that no one is recognizable.

These assholes don't actually care about toys and just want to create drama because they have nothing better to do. Back when you used to be able to get them to post their own toys, one thing that became obvious about them is that they're one-brand poorfags. They own little, so they have little to enjoy. And when these brands became less popular and their Generals started becoming less popular (Revoltech, Joytoy), there's always been a noticeable increase in trolling in other Generals.

>>11562392

I really like the almost animated look of the Champion Class Blokees comic figures, and it's great that he's coming with a wired cape. It'd be nice if Krypto was done a bit better, but I guess he gets the job done. I wonder what's next from the DCU, will they make Peacemaker, or more characters from Superman. Maybe even go Pat Bat.

>>11562441
Is it supposed to look bad? And Krypto looks like a stuffed toy.

>>11562439
>>11562441
>>11562445
*endless shitting noises*

>>11562212
things like Todd's idiotic jokerized shit (problem there was excess quantities/figures), 'patina' edition (again, quantities this was applied to), and overpriced FOMO chase variants in colors and from one isolated panel from one isolated comic and all these other things, are more mistakes than anything else.

And any collector wanting that, other than being the of collector who would collect upside printed stamps, or struck double side coin errors, or similar for the LOLZ, which is not what these hoarders are doing, is a problem of sorts.

No one "seethes" at collectors who want variants of the same figure - wanting an Elseworld Superwoman and a Silver Age Supergirl and AU or parallel dimension Supergirl (e.g. Power Girl - of which I own four, including Todd's) is not hoarding. If I can afford it and want the variety, that's my business.

This: >>11562220 is just production of immediate Landfill fodder.

>>11562334
>i like transparent figures
I put it in my cart and gave it a thought, but ultimately passed on it because most of it is not translucent, it's really honestly and sincerely unattractive, with paint choices that are frankly unexplainable. I have both the DCD translucent Hal and Barry and would certainly consider more in the future, but those are all one translucent color that looks great when back lit.

Krypto actually looks fine.
I believe only a few of the expensive exports have actual articulation on Krypto, I'm pretty sure Todd's crap has NONE. This looks like potentially 5POA assuming the head moves, but it's hard to say just from photos.

The ear sticking out is annoying if that can't/won't go down. It's like buying an action figure that is always and ONLY in fucking flight mode, with a hand above the shoulder in full locked position, that won't ever go down or rest to the side of the torso.

>>11562579

It took like two days for the reprinted Anakin figure to sell out and a couple days for figures from the new Marvel Legends wave to sell out. How fucking low are Todd's production numbers?

Prices are going up and he's generating income through selling digital scam shit that cost nothing to produce so where's the money going if not into making more product that would make him more money?

Swear to fucking christ everyone working at McFarlane Toys is incompetent and more focused on things that make them a little bit of money in the short term instead of focusing on any sort of long-term strategy.

>>11562914

>>11562916
I forget the exact numbers Todd said, but he has said in the Walmart stream a regular figure production run can be lower than 20k units.

Also they think digital figures are the long term, probably because they realize long term action figures will eventually not exist.

>>11562924
Instead of only making 10-15k of each figure and making garbage like >>11562220 >>11561926 >>11560681 why not put the cost of making those figures into making more of something that'll be a guaranteed success like the Batman Returns wave?

HOW DO YOU FUCK THAT UP?!!???!?

>>11562928
McFarlane Toys is bad at estimating demand. They're also small and thus in danger of going out of business if their products pegwarm too hard. So they have really gotten extremely risk averse and scaled back production as we have all noticed.

The weird Eradicator and Superman variant are simply cheap mold reuse and cost almost nothing to make but will sell to a niche crowd.

The Failsafe figure is an absolute anomaly because it is mostly or completely new -- a riskier figure when 95% of their megafigs go on clearance, so I don't even know why they make them. It may be a DC mandated figure to represent current comic storylines since Failsafe is rather recent.

>>11562916
>How fucking low are Todd's production numbers?
He's gone on record saying that they're like less than half of what everyone else does.

>>11562916
Who orders them online? They clog up stores as it is.

>>11562944
They can't compete with Hasbro's output and want to focus on being collectibles, so instead of making shit toys >>11555905 >>11556170 >>11556823 focus on making more of fewer releases. You say they're averse to risk but they spent years fucking with retailers by spamming vampire and jokerized pegwarmers, and that estimating demand is tricky but any random dipshit from this lunatic asylum could do a better job of approving or denying figure concepts.

Is there any proof WB or DC forces McFarlane Toys to produce current garbage from newer comics no one cares about? There aren't any Death Metal or vampirized imaginext sets. In fact, every other toy company from Spinmaster to Fischer Price seems able to do whatever the fuck they want with the license, using designs from cartoons in sets with OC costume designs. Or is the fact McFarlane's figures are action figures somehow a special exclusive part of the license agreement that means they can only use approved designs? That doesn't seem to be true, either >>11560352

Again, all signs point towards greed and incompetence on the part of McFarlane Toys.

>>11562942
What do you want that character to do? A Spiderman pose?

>>11562953

>McFarlane Toys is bad at estimating demand.
Retailers are the ones that are bad at estimating demand. MCFarlane Toys produces enough figures to cover what these stores order PLUS remainders. The only store that McFarlane has to make an estimate for is their own store.

And the guy you're responding to is repeating a trolling point.
They don't make 15,000 only figures. That's not even enough to cover WAlmart if they ordered 2 of every figure.
IT's already been explained that stores order 100k-1million units for toylines like McFarlane's Multiverse DC line. The "10k-15k" number is how many McFarlane produces of the GOLD/PLATINUM figuers, which aren't packed in every case.

>>11563400
And that's why so much of it ends up at Ross.

>>11562970
Kek

>>11563411
Good times

>>11562944
>They're also small and thus in danger of going out of business if their products pegwarm too hard.
McFart is bad at making choices and decisions. Some of them are out of their hands. They likely had to make a certain amount of toys for the Superman movie, and their choice of making Metamorpho and it subsequently pegwarming hard was likely out of their hands. But they also made a really unattractive figure and could have made a Mr. Terrific instead (and probably opted not to for a frankly racist reason - John Stewart was a previous hard pegwarmer as both a Super Powers AND a DCMV) or a Hawk Girl (and, probably a 'girl figures don't sell' stupidity).

But that's to be expected and they should have that built-in as a part of a license, whether it's with DC or with War Hammer or Netflix.

>simply cheap mold reuse and cost almost nothing to make
You're not understanding opportunity costs.

>>11562954
>incompetence
This board, even many users on reddit and even people that rely on 'free' product samples to 'review' on YouTube and TikTok have been saying this for over two years (and in many cases longer).
