These are nothing words that exist just to charge extra for these figures, yes? They don't look any different than a typical McFarlane DC figure.

>>11563023
Now all you need to do is somehow get that message to everyone who is brainwashed by the words and will buy these minute 1

>>11562975 (OP)
Head is not good but you can always buy a custom, it's that torso that is killing me. It's so ugly and noticeable, it ruins the whole figure for me. Just articulation at the waist would be enough, this Batman barely moves even in the movies anyway, you are not going to pose him crouched or doing karate kicks.

>>11562975 (OP)
if todd still has access to the molds he should really try reissuing the old DCD Batman and TMNT crossover figures

>>11562979
what is the best Bale Batman at this point?

>>11563158
The boots are wrong.

>>11563168
You KNOW it would just be that shitty plastic he uses for the B:TAS stuff.

>>11563176
Yep, it's a lazy reuse from the waist down

>>11563180
Batman '89 symbol was sooo weird.

>>11563184
I heard two stories about that. The first is that they had some legal trouble so they couldn't use the usual symbol in the movie, when they got the rights it was too late so they used they used in the marketing material but the movie kept the weird one. Another version is that the costume designer disliked the og logo because "it resembles an open mouth" so that person made a new one, which is pretty common in Pedowood, designers always want to add their own style to stablished things. Whatever reason is ugly as sin and I'm happy no one ever used that again.

>>11563191
>make Batman movie
>can't get all the rights in place
:/

>>11563193
It can get worse
>makes TV show about Batman
>can't show Batman unless it's the last scene in the whole show and that's a courtesy from the network that owns the TV rights of your character

>>11563201
Yeh, that show was something else.... though I do like how they had the balls to do not Joker Joker.

>>11563201
yet smallville wouldn't, if only tom welling wasnt so afraid of the cape and tights.

>>11563201
Was that a character embargo thing? Those are so stupid.

>>11563201
That sounds insane to me. Is it just because they don't want him sullied by being on TV?

>>11563158
I appreciate the use of fabric capes. But McFarlane needs to step it up on how good they are. Burton's Batman's cape is essentially a huge cloak. Over the shoulders, covering the chest.

>>11563224
No it’s purely a rights issue
Side note I think it would be a smarter move for gunns Batman and Superman to be shows rather than movies. Make the movies big team ups that don’t require any prior knowledge of the solo series

>>11563229
>needs to step it up
It’s over anon. They’re just running the clock now.

>>11563234
This, they aren't even trying at this point

Look on the bright side: soon we can all make fun of Mattel again.

>>11563158
This is a really bad execution of this suit. I am sure it will sell out however since most collectors will buy regardless of quality.

>>11563232
But then they would have to do a lot of backstory on the characters in the movie for people who did not watch the solo TV shows.

>>11563158
>you are not going to pose him crouched or doing karate kicks.
i am

guys, is todd retarded? serious question. I love him as a person, but this "I'll give the fans what they want when I absolutely need to" attitude is extremely damaging.
I also get the idea that he can't rely on big hits nonstop because he'll run out of them fast. however he wouldn't be in this situation if he wasn't "starving the fans" as he calls it.
he put out of few mediocre at best spawn figures then watched it all go on clearance and shelfwarm. he's hurting his own ip and the trust of the consumer. he'll have a harder time selling figures from now.
he lost the DC license because of obvious reasons, and now he's hoping releasing these movie characters this late into the game will make him enough money for them to renew the contract.
how about not pushing yourself into a corner first? it's good to have a backup plan but why force yourself to use it? fuck. I just wanted good toys, fuck his autism.

Darkstars and Dark Archer are still digitally pegwarming. It's what McFarlane deserves for not giving any good accessories yet charging $35

>>11563262
Maybe. I just think depends on the characters and the writer. There’s no reason you couldn’t fit everything you need to in a 3 act structure.
The shows would never have any baring on the films tho. Keep all of those small self contained personal stories. They could even be episodic.
The closest thing I can compare my idea to is the animated universe btas, stas and justice league.

>>11563274
Todd just made a lot of recent bad hires, most likely because he was handed good talent for cheap early in his career with 4 horsemen on toys and Capullo in the comics.

But once Todd started getting deeper, he stayed frugal with his hiring, but without the luck, making his toy company go downhill. A company is only as good as its employees. Rather than paying for good talent so he could excel, he tried to play it cheap and keep getting lucky, but no one can get lucky all the time. So now he is stuck making inferior products and not pushing boundaries, but instead he got into his comfortable position of "survival" as most long term players in an industry do.

>>11563184
nah, it's kino

>>11563229
>literal washboard abs

>>11563285
If I were Todd I'd fire everyone on his staff and hire the anons here and put them in a giant cage to fight it out, and just stand outside watching and writing down ideas.

>>11563259
>This is a really bad execution of this suit.
Indeed but the lack of figures from Returns is insane, after the usual figures of the time the only release was the Hot Toys figure. There is some third party ones but they came/are coming around the same time as this one.

>>11563274
He's a little good, a little greedy, basically the wrong guy in the right place. He was there to get the license but he doesn't really understand how the market change from the time of his McStatues and can't let it go of his ego, I bet he is surrounded by some Yes Men too and he thinks too much criticism is just "negative energy" or something, he strikes me as the kind of person that listen to the wrong people.

Well, no matter what it's too late, I hope Mattel gives DC the same love they seem to give to He-Man these days, and that they repeat Todd's mistakes. Like making thousands of Batmen, half of them looking to the side and wearing diapers.

>>11563316
Jesus I just read my own post and it seems that I need to sleep. Goodnight assholes, don't eat (too much) toys

>>11563316
>I hope Mattel gives DC the same love they seem to give to He-Man these days,
Kind of a low bar honestly, and I wouldn't bet on it.

>>11563316
Profit targets will not allow Mattel to give the same level of funds to DC figures as they do to MOTU figures, because DC has additional overhead of the massive licensing fees.

that's not how it works you retard. one of the biggest toy companies in the world outbid them for the license. it's over.

>>11563316
>making thousands of Batmen
mattel will do this, just as they did before, just as everyone with the dc license does. spinmaster makes a million batmen and nobody says anything. mattel currently makes a bunch of batmen in imaginext. nobody here actually pays attention to dc toys and never has.

>>11563486
I'll bite. What's the two pack?

I’ve seen Mattel’s new products now. The best way to describe the adult collector line is marvel legends maximums under $40. The price I’ve seen floating around is $32.99 - $34.99 but anywhere between $32.99 - $39.99 could happen. They are 6 inch.

>>11563572
To clarify I saw renders and pictures of a prototype Batman with swappable mouth plates.

>>11563572
>They are 6 inch.
Was it placed next to a ruler?

>>11563572
How are they going to compete with Marvel Legends? Legends revealed they are only going to $28. Any higher than that and most will simply keep at MLs or go from McFarlane to MLs, counting their DC collection as complete with McFarlanes and ignore this Mattel DC line. They have to be comparing what their competitors are doing.

>>11563585
>they are only going to $28
Not by the time Mattel starts releasing their figures.

Unfortunately it will be even harder to find one now that he is no longer playing the role. Few companies will see it as profitable to make it, unless Snyderbros can keep the dream alive

>>11563643
>>11563654
>>11563734
Even though it says 1/9 they are actually the same size as Todd's Multiverse. Left is Multiverse, center is Fondjoy and right is DC Direct.

>>11563764
Well, Inart and LPZZ just announced more BvS figures.

>>11563787
Depending on how they handle armor, it's expected someone in an armor suit would make for a larger figure so it makes sense Todd probably made his figure too big.

The irony is that Todd's figure looks pretty much around the same level of aesthetic quality, so I'm not sure there's much of a benefit to getting that one besides added accessories or someone preferring the house style or disliking Todd's.

The DC Direct works for 1/12th'ers

>>11563794
Yeah, Fondjoy has Todd best with accessories and articulation, plus is way easier to find and around the same price.

Here is the original Fondjoy Batfleck alongside Todd's Cavill and Gadot

I'm laughing thinking about how people are going to pay this.

>>11564042
I mean it was pretty much damn near that on the import sites since it’s a desirable exclusive

>>11564043
The mold has been used before, everyone who wanted it should have gotten it for much less long ago.

They don’t even remember how many fingers characters have now

>>11564047
I think they did the flipper, you can see it's all one solid piece. It's just poorly done.

>>11564045
The non exclusive one was blue and grey though, personally the black and grey looks better for this design imo

>>11564045
It's an oversees convention exclusive recolor. Tbqh I'm surprised it's that cheap on BBTS, it's not much more than a regular release. Sorry that you're too stupid to understand how exclusivity works.

>>11564053
Sorry you're so stupid you willingly accept that something should cost more and you are willing to pay more because it's an exclusive. The smart people would just not buy it.

>>11564073
>Don't buy something you are willing and able to afford because some loser on 4chan who can't even afford it himself tells you not to
Get over yourself shit for brains.

>>11564084
I can afford it but I already own a suitable equivalent that was not ridiculously priced. Collectors need to break their silly conditioning that they need to be paypigs and pay top dollar for everything.

>>11564119
Shut up retard. You're not the bastion of toy collecting. I'll say it again, get over yourself.

>>11563483
For now? Hot Toys. I hope one day we get great 1/12 89 and Returns' figures without some monkey pawn bullshit.

>>11564119

>>11563787
Ah, ok. Maybe I will look into getting the 2-pack.

People have been priced out of domestic action figure collecting and it's causing them to crash out.

This only leads to a vicious cycle. Basically:

This release is just embarassing.

>>11564667
Is this at least based on something?

>>11564668
Doubtful, since it's BBTS colors and exclusive to BBTS

>>11564667
At least it looks cool

>>11564681
Maybe if you repaint it

>>11564521
I've been busy making custom Star Wars figures, schizo. I just check this place for a Starman Jack release date.

>>11564704
Those hands are fuck huge.

I read a comic with detective chimp. He's a pretty cool guy but I wouldn't want a figure of him, especially an unarticulated mcstatue.

>>11564712
Shit taste, only fags don't want figures of cool monkeys dressed like Sherlock Homes.

>>11564746
If he's a detective monkey why can't he use magic?

>>11564767
No one taught him at PI school

>>11564771
Was he top of his class?

>>11564772
You have to be if you're the only chimp in your graduating class.

Get ready, the future of toy pricing is here now, at your local BBTS.

>>11564791
You guys post more about the price of these things than the actual toys themselves.

>>11564803
The price is part of the equation for buying something and also whether it is worth buying. If that figure was $20, I'd pick it up. At $35, no. At $50, hell no.

>>11564803
Uh. Yes, that would be the logical conclusion to a toy not seeming like it's worth its asking price.

Talking about Detective Chimp, since when is Nightmaster popular enough to get an action figure?

We dem boyz

>>11564875
Is Elmer Fudd in blackface or...

>>11564862
He isn't, some guy is just using DCMV as his personal wish fulfillment line for whatever obscure DC weirdos he wants to make.

>>11564805
Yeah, but you could also talk about the toys you already own too.

>>11564809
I mean that's your prerogative, I don't really care to hear it every fucking day though. I don't think the vast majority of McFarlane's are worth it so I don't buy them, but I don't whine about it ad nauseam.

>>11564897
I get the feeling this thread is generally only really for new releases, not for people to blog about figures they like from McFarlane.

Here's my blog:

I own this BVS WW and I don't know why people don't just use it as a modern WW given the design is basically the same as many modern WWs in comics. Instead they want to buy that CE which I also have which is demonstrably worse in sculpt, paint, is too tall, and only wins in accessory count.

>>11564901
It's very cleary Gal Gadot in cosplay. They ramp up the detail of the movie stuff, it would look strange next to anything else.

>>11564901
I'd say we should post more pics of our own tosy but then the schizos get jealous and sperg out and obsess over your background for years on end.

I'm sorry but the losers and brokies have taken over and ruined this board. No one is willing to post their toys anymore.

>>11564791
That's just BBTS jacking up the price to sell off the chase variants they've received without doing the retarded randomizer on the regular release. The price itself is scummy but I guess it's a tradeoff for those who wanted the chase variant offered on a silver platter without hunting down themselves.

>>11564791
This is how they have priced every single mcfarlane platinum they’ve sold individually

>>11564901
That's a chunky handle.

>>11564862
>since when is Nightmaster popular enough
He appeared in some 60-70 issues; granted some of those were cameos and groups scenes (about 20 of those) but that's some 3500+ less appearances than Jimmy Olsen, whose had two self-titled runs and had like elevenity billion DCMVs from Todd.

>>11565034
No it isnt. They used to price CE platinums at 40, and other platinums were even less, stop lying to defend a website that price gouges

>>11565055
Do you like it?

>>11565034
>>11565098
Heres an example from a platinum CE that is on sale. Note they set the base price at 39.99

>>11564897
>you could also talk about the toys you already own
>>11564901
>only really for new releases
>>11564929
>we should post more pics

If you post about older toys people bitch and moan about the articulation, the design or some such, generally, except for really niche threads - but generally not in these.
Posting about new releases other than DCMV (or other 'collector' versions of McFarlane) by and large gets you shill commentary or negative commentary, which generally reeks of shill tier posts or generic copy pasta reposting negativity. They don't even bother to come up with anything funnier than 'McFart' or 'greasy' or similar and haven't in many months.
If you post pics, people complain about your stealing pictures from elsewhere, people complain about dust, people complain about poses, people complain ad nauseam about one thing or another.

Phone posting was a mistake but this board was bad before then.

>>11565126
Some people believe McFarlane is mostly misses but has some big hits randomly strewn about. I happen to be one of those. Perhaps people could post about what McFarlanes they actually enjoy and/or were surprised by the quality of?

An example for me was Ghost-Maker. It looks pretty much just like the comic design with extra texturing and paint placed properly (which is not a guarantee with many DCMV). The articulation is surprisingly good for a McFarlane with single jointed knees (which was pretty much the only way to do these knees properly to keep the sculpt looking right). There's a few issues like the sword holders being partly open and some of the usual flaws like elbow articulation looking 'cut out' but for what was a $20 toy at the time it is surprisingly good.

Did anyone buy lonesome Max Mercury when he was on sale for $9?

>>11564681
It really doesn't though?

>>11564862
>this literally who got a wired but the best version of Batman they’ve done did not

>>11564862
Are those fleas on him?

>>11564901
Here's my take:
I got both Cyborg Superman.
Love the design, not too happy about the rubber diaper but that was Todd&company's decision. I know that piece will be the first to wear out over time.
I was happy with the Red version too but sold it since it was just a repaint and not the version he's becomes when he turns red.

I'll keep the OG Cyborg Supes cause it's a combination of 2 things I like : robots and Superman.

>>11564649
is this a face reveal?

>>11565229
Idk man but it was enough to keep me from getting him. I think an anon explained it like chain mail details but its just distracting to me.
>>11565233
I think this is one of my top five multiverse figures. Its just a solid design all around.

>>11565545
It is chain mail but McFarlane is really stupid sometimes with deco like that. There's been Aquaman that look like crap and he can not do any sort of realistic light effect.

>>11565553
The recent Task Force wave comes to mind. The pixelation isn't even done well.

>>11564704

>>11565556
Has anyone ever pulled off the pixel look? I guess neca got close with their nes f13th or godzilla but im drawing a real blank on any other attempts at it that look passable.

>>11565656
No, it looks pretty bad every time. Same with cel shading. It just doesn't work in 3D.

>>11565665
cell shading does work, its just no company is willing to invest the tim eand money in making it look good.

Batman with birthing hips and fat thighs, my favorite

>>11565695
They did a good job on the glow effect

Wish someone would make the Red Lantern leader version of Guy. I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to make a custom using the last stand spiderman body.

I think we lost, DC gen, I think people are still buying the $35 CEs. I just can't imagine paying $35 for a McFarlane. Who would do it?

Who would willingly buy this? This is worse than Death Metal stuff.

>>11565969
Stop whining.

>>11565978
People who liked Darkseid War. Stop getting so offended by anything you don't care for existing.

>>11565980
This is the look from Darkseid War, anon.

>>11565982
Oh I just looked at the thumbnail. Didn't realize it was a variant. Todd does this kind of thing all the time, why are you whining about it now? Too little too late.

>>11565696
Only if you don't look at it too closely.

>>11565978
It's a fun translucent item. The figure, the chair. I'd get it if I saw it.

>>11566028
Well if you look at his face it's basically Batman in black face with a blue tongue screaming.

>>11565978
The true lowpoint of the line

>>11566128
Maybe, but everyone will remember the $60 Zatanna being the figure that killed McFarlane Toys. Their reputation will never recover.

>>11566324
I rarely ever see people on my side on /toy/ that say price matters. Rich people seem to dominate this hobby, unlike say vidya

>>11566521
Quite frankly, you probably should be more well off financially if you're going to be collecting anything. Collecting is inherently an expensive hobby, regardless of what you collect. It's not meant of the poors and too many poors infecting the hobby is exactly how we get a dead board like /toy/ where no one actually posts or discusses toys but instead endlessly bitch about how they can't afford to collect toys. Honestly we should just have a poorfag general so they can be contained to one place that I can hide.

>>11566554

How elitist... you don't HAVE to be rich to collect, y'know.

>>11566607
Honestly, you kinda do. Collecting anything cost money. If you're struggling to pay your bills you you shouldn't be wasting money on toys.

I’m going to place an order for scarecrow on Amazon if he’s up at 12 without any bullshit. Amazon fucked me on my deathstroke.
Just got Mr bones and I like him as a skull headed pirate villain. Don’t care about lore. He’s my last mcfarlane unless Amazon comes through. I hope mcfarlane toys go under.

>>11566614
No, you don't. You could, like, collect salt and pepper packets from restaurants or something like that. That doesn't cost anything. If you wanna relate it back to toys, they sell budget lines or gashapon/blind box stuff, plastic soldiers, matchbox cars, etc. It wouldn't be a very exciting collection, but it's still collecting. The trick is to know to collect within your means. Most people don't do that.

>>11566614
That's "appeal to extreme". Using an extreme or highly unlikely example to discredit an argument, especially when that extreme case isn't representative of the general idea.

Again, another extreme example that is not repesentative of the whole. Probably some projection in there.

>>11566641
That's an ad hominem. You're attacking the person rather than addressing the original argument, shifting focus away from the topic. You're really bad at arguing, anon.

Not sure why but the first time I preordered the new Scarecrow on BBTS it got automatically cancelled. Thank goodness I noticed it and ordered a second time and that worked. WTF? Now I have to wait a few minutes to make sure my PO wasn't cancelled?

I got my orders in just to turn around and cancel them. I just can’t justify buying Toddler shit at these prices. I’m going to hope on jadas dick until Mattel starts putting out figures.

>>11566665
Same. They just aren’t worth it.

What kinda quality do you guys think we'll actually get from the Mattel stuff? They do 7 inch, right?

How is the cape getting a bend like this if there's no wire?

>>11566659
Probably an inventory allotment issue, plus everyone has to race to get an order in on the decent looking figures so id say it was that. I missed dr midnite but waited a few minutes and he came back up for po.

>>11566636
The way some of the users on this board act,I'm have to assume they're borderline poverty.

>>11566712
So, youre saying they forgo patio ownership for toys? Thats just sad. Hey, maybe ypu and me and some of the other guys could pitch in together and help these poor people with seminars, you lnow, offer free mcfarlane figures if they attend our "How to build generational wealth" classes.

>>11566714
Yeah, you're one of the guys I have to assume lives in poverty with just how butt mad you are about some random anon being able to afford things.

Dc general is just grim and depressing now. Gunn isn’t doing dc any favors atm with his Nazi bullshit in peacemaker. At this point I just feel burned for caring about the ips so much. These people don’t deserve our money anymore.

Of course, the first and only Leto Joker by Todd is locked behind crowdfunding bullshit

>>11566849
Is he gonna funnel stuff off into a Spawn project again?

No ankle rockers?

You must the leto joker fan.
Ive heard about you.

>>11566863
The deco kinda makes it look like Aquaman has a bikini.

>>11566554
You would say the same for vidya but most poor people play vidya. Thats how indie games thrive and how you get such a huge capability to keep prices at 60 bucks for decades and only recently edging up under enormous cost pressures.

People who can't pay their bills aren't collecting. People who can but don't have too much disposable income and dread the increases because it means less figures do still collect.

>>11566641
Just having a job doesn't guarantee you will have enough money to easily collect. A lot of jobs out there pay shit wages

>>11566672
Worse than MOTU Masterverse probably since licensing costs for DC while Mattel owns MOTU. Unless they want to go crazy and charge like 30 bucks+ like Todd is doing.

>>11566893
>>11566895
>>11566896
>>11566898
Not perfect but it does look good. Maybe I just hungry for some Returns' figures

Why did they bother making another Red Tornado? He isn't even a B lister

But of course Mr. Moneybags over there can't conceive of anyone pumping less money into a hobby than he does.

>>11566965
>Unless they want to go crazy and charge like 30 bucks+ like Todd is doing.
Which they totally could do. Because where else are you going to get decent budget DC stuff?

>>11565978
>>11566896
Todd creating hate crime in action figure form.

>>11566968
I'd take a wired cape over not.

>>11566973
Todd's line. He's gonna take you back to the past and if you have been collecting it this long you've got enough to hold you off and you don't need anymore DC besides a few here or there picks.

>>11566984
Scale though. Mattel might be six inch. Better for action figure photography shenanigans.

>>11566987
It's gonna be 7 inch like masterverse

>>11566992
Has this been confirmed? Haven't they done 5.5-6 inch motu stuff?

>>11566987
Doesn't matter, I've got a bunch of 7in McFarlanes of stuff that no one will ever make again. If they go 6in then I don't buy. I only buy Marvel in 6in.

>>11567003

>flat-chested arthur curry for the win

>>11567008
The exact opposite, classiclookman.

Gladiator Batman, Ghosts of Krypton Brainiac, Death Metal Wonder Woman, Curse of the White Knight Azrael, Abyss, Dread Lantern, Death Metal Batman, Superman Unchained Armor, All-American Boy Doomsday, McFarlane Designed Batman, Ghosts of Krypton Supes, Hellbat Armor, Dark Multiverse Duke Thomas, Robin King, McFarlane Designed Wonder Woman (GL repaint), Batman Earth -44, Cave Batgirl, King Kordax, perhaps a few more that it's unlikely would be made again.

Those are some unclassic looks.

>>11567076
Clockman is dope, ill add in deathstorm or captain carrot as characters mattel likely wouldnt bother with.
Animal man or ambush bug or catain atom would be in the unthinkable outside of DTC sales aswell. But damn it, im still waiting on a cliff steele so maybe mattel pulls through for me on him.

>>11567086
The funny thing is, Todd put Ambush Bug, Captain Atom, and Animal man in stores. What a madman. Then he makes some others who he'd know people want DTC.

Those Against the Price Increase, I think...we lost. The average collector lives only to consume. They would buy figures at even $40-45. They are addicts. What can sane men do against such wanton lunacy? These are just toys, guys, you should not be buying them if they go from $20 to $27 in 2 years with no actual engineering, paint and articulation improvement.

>>11567105
>>11567109
How do you know the price went up on the theatrical deluxes again and already? Aren't they 35?

>>11567111
You’re thinking of collector editions that are $34.99

>>11567105
>>11567109
>>11567112
I’m all for an adult spending money however they want but if you buy these for this price you’re a retarded fucking faggot that needs help.

>anon got priced out of McFarts and is now crashing out all over the thread
Why are you guys like this?

>>11567113
No, every Superman T. Deluxe was 35. And so is the new Peacemaker.

>>11567105

>>11567120
I only made one post. Don't confuse me with the guy spamming the Batman Returns figures

>>11567125

This is why I don’t post here. You’re all faggoys.

>>11567149
>I don’t post here
But you just did, faggoy!

>>11566900
Nobody actually wants this do they? I thought we as a society collectively forgot Leto was even Joker.

So the mr bones lithograph is more like a board than a sheet of paper like i expected. Its just that cheap sawdust board and its got siler spray paint around the edges but the print does look nice. Especially if you want an image of hippolyta in distress. Ive yet to mess with the figure but idk, i didnt expect to get a plankwith it.
Also im not sure how i feel about the head, it looks likre man wearing a skull helmet but it also looks comically big. The art they used for the litho isnt the best choice but what multiverse figure really had great card back/trading card art?

>>11567188
Steph's is beautiful

>>11566808
There's only like three people left here. Not even the Batman Returns wave could get people to come back. Fuck Todd.

>>11567291
Todd has delegated most responsibilities

>>11566840
They couldn't find a better factory that can sew?

>>11566840
>again with the black outline
why

>>11567339
Action Comics 1000 Supes remains the definitive Superman, literally the first edition shadowless Charizard of the Todd's Multiverse figures.

>>11566888
every toy is behind a paywall you retard

>>11567341
Shut up Jared. That figure is trash.

>>11567341
There was a wired cape version that's better

>>11567105
How is this deluxe?

>>11567087
He couldve made a mint if cyborg supes wasnt a store exclusive. Same with the most recent bizarro. I hope mattel does not follow the in store goose chase bull shit model that failed todd and walmart and target.
When i go looking for a specific item i dont buy consolation prizes when i dont find what i came for. I am more likely to spend more IF i find what i came for though, which is rare.
>nxxgr
Cmon captcha, chill out

>>11567653
I doubt that would work

>>11567663
I just never got into porters art.

It’s that time again anons. Are you going to play Todd’s preorder musical chairs?

>>11567179
ZSJL knightmare Joker would sell out in seconds.

>>11567105
>>11567109
>>11567112
>$38.14 after tax
Lmao

>>11567734
And it still sold out.

>>11567719
I got the full set plus an extra Penguin through amazon, then another set ordered through BBTS.
I expect the amazon orders to get cancelled.
My buddy at work really wants the Penguin and I'm in it for Catwoman and Batman so whatever happens I'm pretty confident in my orders.
BBTS hasn't disappointed me yet.

The first to sell out at BBTS is Catwoman.

That's right Todd, the one with the least accessories.

Female figures don't sell Todd. Don't listen to us. We don't know what we're talking about Todd.

>>11567741
Why an extra Oswald?

>>11567719
Honestly, im passing this wave. I do want a keaton, like really i do, but ive got scarecrow, my lovely batgirl and dr midnite so ive paid my todd tithes for the month.
Now i just wait for october and several hours of wasted time driving back and forth from target. I wont miss mcfarlane toys and the hoop jumping required to spend money i earned.

>>11567742
But anon! Girls are yucky! Don't touch them anon, come with me, I'll give you a digital jokerized Batman for only $30!

>>11567742
that's because todd only made 12.

I might actually cancel my catwoman. None are worth the asking price but shes extra insulting.

>>11567743
My buddy really wants one.

>>11567659
lol
I get it

>>11567752
She's the only one with an accurate headsculpt. I only ordered her

>>11567109
Some weird decisions. They made new legs but the boots and belt are wrong, why not go all the way since the arms, chest, head and cape are all new? Also the head seems too small and the eyes too close to each other. Still, seems like a fun figure and I'm mostly pleased. Shame I'll probably not be able to buy one since I don't live in the US so this will cost me an arm and a leg.

by “deluxe theatrical edition” does that mean Keaton gets a wired cape this time

>>11567815
Maybe but it's already sold out so no real chance for wire enjoyer to grab it

>>11567765
I don’t get it…

>Bones has been dead 4 months already
Damn. Do you guys think he’d still be buying doubles of all the releases?

Why did even Max sell like mad? I hear the longest lasting one lasted like a bit over 20 minutes. Why do they launch these things while people are at work anyway? Shouldn't they launch at 5 or 6PM PST so the majority of the US is no longer at work?

>>11568025
>Why did even Max sell like mad?
Maybe people really really really want to make custom Christopher Walken figures. Me? I would love some Gabriel from The Prophecy series

I think I’m just going to cancel the wave and buy some mafex figures to hold me over until Mattel in a year. I just refuse to pay these prices for Todd slop.

>>11567741
>another unwanted
>excessively oversharing newsletter
>from this asshole

>>11568056
Yeah dude $115 for 3 figures fuck that

>>11568056
Why'd you order it in the first place?

>>11568079
I knew it would sell out so I decided to park the preorders while thinking it over since mcfarlane doesn’t release product images before they go up.

>>11568056
You are making the right call but you don't need to announce to the whole thread that you're leaving like a bitter ex girlfriend. Also, I wouldn't hold your breath on the Mattel stuff being good either. I'm going to assume it'll be w lateral move from Toddslop, not an outright upgrade.

>>11568089
>not an outright upgrade
Your head will spin Jarret

>>11568091
I'm not Jared. I'm the guy with the Mafex collection. I only have a handful of Todd figs because I've never really been a huge fan of the house style in the figs. I'm just being realistic in that the Mattel stuff will probably be equally as disappointing as Toddslop.

>>11568098
My impression is Mattel's average figure is within a smaller range, no extreme lows but no extreme highs either. Todd is all over the place. He might make a figure that looks great and then the next 5 look like absolute garbage. So in a way I kind of like that hit or miss aspect since you can just buy the good stuff and ignore the crap.

>>11568122
You never collected Mattel stuff then. Back when they were doing DC stuff, it was nothing but extreme lows. There weren't extreme highs either. Unless they've changed in the six years of so since they lost the DC license, which I doubt.

>>11568128
Check their masterverse stuff, its mostly within a range. Not necessarily average but not extremely low.

Next thread: >>11568143

>>11568128
>Unless they've changed in the six years of so since they lost the DC license, which I doubt.
They along with all the other big name domestic companies have. I swear you fuckers that want to point at their past dc figures and none of their recent stuff are either disingenuous or just fucking retarded.

>>11567833
You fail to consider the keaton fans who would enjoy a micheal keaton to come home to after work each day.

>>11568180
Todd failed to consider them by not having enough stock for the figures to last at least 1 day

>>11568174
I don't collect IPs Mattel produces really. Last thing I got from them was their Ray Arnold figure from the JP Amber Collection. It was alright but still had worse plastic, paint and engineering than your stemsdard Hasbro figure at the time. If they've changed that's great, but I just don't have much experience with what they've done lately.

>>11568203
Some MOTU Masterverse reviews can give you an idea of what they can do at their best. Probably still technically below MLs or Classified but not as bad as their old DC stuff for sure. Their wrestling stuff looks horrific to me so some teams within Mattel still are producing lower quality stuff. In a way it kind of depends on the people within Mattel assigned to DC

>>11564629
I have the 1/4 Batman and Penguin. They are pretty damn unposeable. You can stick their arms straight out to the front and... that's about it.
