Isn't their a new Nightwing figure from one of the import companies? It's one of the import gens at the moment, or is it just the announcement without even any pre-orders?

If you'd like this Suicide Squad Harley set, which is currently 58% funded:

>>11576451
This Revo Nightwing?

>>11576458
Yep, sorry. I was too lazy to look it up. Plus I'm trying to eat to make a movie in two hours with some pals.

>>11576450
unironically looks like a good Wonder Woman

>>11576450
Its crazy knowing people will pay $80 for a Wonder Woman figure of Todd quality.

'66 Batmobile a-comin'

>>11576450
I'm probably going to get the Titano/Flash, I saw Todd had it on sale but I'd rather use my Game Stop pro discount and grab it from them, since the shipping would be fucking free and when all is said it down, it will be the same cost.

I hear the articulation sucks on the mega figs - what barely there articulation there is.

>>11576470
yeah but you are also getting for the 'zilla

>>11576453
I assume shipping is the usual McFarlane ridiculous rates though which makes it not worth it. I'd buy the $35 tier but not for $45+

>>11576471
>>11576473
Looks pretty accurate from what I recall but they never made a Batman 66 Robin in 7" scale, only Adam West Batman

>>11576474
There's no reason to get it for the Godzilla, Hiya sells Godzillas for $50 that are much better articulated. Todd's is basically a giant lump of plastic with single digit POA

Pre-Orders for these on 9-30

>>11576450
I got the batman kong 2 pack when it was $40 on bbts. I mostly want the ape. Batman is just gravy.

>>11576478
there's more to toys than articulation. big godzilla is better than small godzilla

>>11576458
this looks like garbage. Not anime style, not realistic game style, not comic. Who wants this?

The face print seems especially dotty here

>>11576511
No it really isn't as you have to store it somewhere. The mentality of bigger is better is foolish.

>>11576488
The right body mold but a meh headsculpt and seemingly no wired cape.

>>11576453
>five faces in total
>none of them look like Margot Robbie
Also those fabric fishnets are a bad idea

>>11576574
Not everyone lives in a tiny studio apartment. Not him, but I have an entire room dedicated to my toys, gaming, art and other hobbies. And no, I don't keep toys stream all over my house, it's limited to just the one room and a shelf or two in my bedroom for space ship models.

What is the "correct" DC gen, this or the other one?

Do we really need to go through this every fucking time?

>>11576453
Instead of wasting money on that, buy this

>>11576616
Then you don't have enough room for a garbage mcfarlane Godzilla. You'll sell it just like anyone else.

>>11576617
The one with updated release dates, and not using AI slop as the OP.

>>11576008

If a Man be Made of Clay

>>11576620
I have plenty of space in my office for it. Stop projecting your poorfag onto the whole thread.

>>11576625
It's not worth the space it takes up though as it's a poor figure. Reviews have already shown that. People who want good Godzilla figures go to Hiya or even SHMA if preferred.

>>11576627
Ok whatever, but that wasn't your original argument.

>>11576679
>Jarett cant read

So when is Mister Miracle dropping? Will he just start appearing randomly in stores or will there be an announcement?

>>11576680
Your original argument was that bigger isn't better because you need to have a place to store the figure, now you're pivoting to saying that it's just a poor figure. I can read just fine. Stop projecting your poorness on to the rest of the thread please.

>>11576691
Shut the fuck up and go back to your failed thread, Jarett.

>>11576695
I'm not Jarret. But you still argue like dog doo doo

>>11576691
Both are true though. Bigger isn't better when it comes to figures, and that Godzilla is a poor figure. Hiya makes better, smaller Godzillas that are more worth their cost in money and space.

>>11576704
He doesn't know anything. He's just ragebaiting for (You)s.

>>11576704
Bigger can be better, not necessarily, but for something like Godzilla, I want a bigger representation that can stand at least a bit taller than the rest of my collection. And yeah, I'm sure Hiya makes a better figure,but if I were to opt for a smaller version of Godzilla, I'd just get one of the SH Monsterarts and call it a day. I was just merely pointing out that not everyone is constrained for space like the guy originally implied.

>>11576478
Right
>>11576511
I like a good figure, not a big turd

>>11576617
...The one with actual DC toy discussion? You have to ask?

>>11576712
Everyone is constrained by space, the question is simply whether they are out of space or are not yet out of space. But there is no one with a bag of holding who can hold infinite toys. One day, everyone will reach space capacity assuming they keep collecting.

>>11576740
If you insist. I still have all the stuff I want displayed, plus room for expansion.

>>11576734
Yes, hence my question

>>11576478
I've no interest in a Godzilla. I am interested, as I typed, in a Titano.
I'd rather have a supes with the Titano but since the last McFart Barry I bought is the unmasked one, which is actually still sitting somewhere in my closet, unopened, I figured what the hey.

>>11576617
shut it, jarrett

>>11576683
Fuck all if i know. I checked last week, ill check this week and if i find one i will tell you. Ive checked the site on a regular basis in case its slipped out but scott and wes are gonna make me go out of my way to check the only target near me like a dog chasing its tail.

>>11576488
>Pre-Orders

>>11576576
>meh headsculpt

>>11576683
>>11576835
TNI announced it at the end of June. For all we know he could've already gone to all the Targets that ordered him and be done by now...but I don't see a record of them on McFarlane's site so maybe there is still a chance.

>>11576835
>>11576848
Mcfarlane said they'd be in stores for October but this literally means nothing since Mcfarlane's distribution is dogshit and figure are just dumped without notice randomly

>>11576848
>he could've already gone to all the Targets that ordered him
they were actually getting crap that should already have been on the shelves (and sold or gone) in AFTER the Superman movie stuff released and was on the shelves. One of my locals got the Many Lives of Superman one circa August but only got the one, so it may have been say a return that actually went to the warehouse and then got shipped back out or something truly stupid like that.

But they also got a few other things like the Page Puncher Super Boys and Wonder Womans in quantities.

>>11576557
>Who wants this?
REVO fans

>>11576848
>>11576974
If i dont find them it wont be for a lack of effort, but theres not much info online outside of the oct release date and a few hundred dollar listings. I know store exclusives arent going away but this shit sucks, atleast with hasbro you have a chance of running across what youre looking for.
So get up early on wed morning, we are going to target.

So will we get a drunk Kara with roots, wired trench coat and bottle of Kandorian Whiskey accessory from Mattel next summer?

>>11576827
Kek do you even has a pic of these guys, Jarret, Jin, Athena, etc.? It's weird to be called so many names but I don't even know who are all those people

>>11576974
How much of this is mcfarlane "bad distribution " and just the stores not caring and dumping stuff on the shelves?

>>11577189
Why not just refuse to play McFarlane's games and run all over the place in the hope you're going to find a figure? That's what I and many others have done.

>>11577256
This. Mcfarlane toys and Todd can get fucked.

What do you guys think of the LPZZ Deathstroke? I'm not really a DC fan and don't own any DC figures but I always thought Deathstroke was badass and was thinking of getting this because it seems pretty nice.

>>11577263
I don't really like that design for DS but have heard good things about LPZZ, just have not wanted any of the looks they have put out yet to try them. I would try to read some stories about DS before just going out and buying a figure of him though so you can assure you have some connection to the character and it doesn't just become a cool looking lump of plastic in your collection, as those can often be the first to get sold years later when the luster has worn off.

>>11576488
>>11576489
McFar-lane, you've gotta stop him before he raises the prices a-gain.

>>11577263
I am so very curious how this will feel in my ass.

>>11577263
I'm in the same boat as >>11577267. I'm not necessarily a fan of that particular iteration of the character, but LPZZ is apparently pretty damn good from the reviews I've seen of their Dark Knight Batman. I'll give them a try when they come out with a costume I'm more into. I would've gotten their BatBale but I already have and am perfectly happy with the SHF so I didn't need an upgrade.

>>11577251
Store's care. The employee care when people come up to guest services and make them dig in the back or on the shelves for product that their own website says is on the shelves but cannot be found.
Some employees don't care, they don't get paid enough to care.

>>11577263
>>11577277
Not a fan of the character and not interested in buying this one either, but I would be curious on the prices and the quality if anyone else bought this or something else by the same company.

>>11577267
>I would try to read some stories about DS before just going out and buying a figure of him though so you can assure you have some connection to the character
That is good advice and I do usually only get characters I have some connection to. While I'm not really into DC now, I guess I had DC phases as a kid. I was kind of obsessed with Deathstroke for a bit after playing Arkham Origins and watching Arrow so I did read up on some of his lore back then. I don't really like any of his other looks so to me this is like the best DS figure to date, at least based on the pictures.

>>11577269
You're doing it wrong if you don't already know this, sister,

Go to the store and get stocked up with supplies. Have a fun weekend.

>>11577388
Already am stocked up. Could always use more ammo though but my current stocks are anything but bad.

>>11576627
but i want big godzilla

>>11577426
Then you should get the 12" Titan Heroes Godzillas

>>11577388
What are you implying will happen? I mean, i already know, but my buddy over here is quite dismissive of the potential events that are set to transpire.

>>11577459
nothing ever happens

>James Gunn says, “I’m probably not going to do certain movies with characters who [audiences] don’t know; it’s harder to get people in the theater for that kind of thing”

https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1972039841094230097

Bad news for people who want figures of characters other than Batman, Superman, Supergirl and other A listers. DCU is going to shift focus to major characters only, because if Superman can barely break even, they know Booster Gold or Swamp Thing won't.

>>11576488
>>11576489
Debating on if I want to pre-order them or not tomorrow. I don't need mullet Superman or this Joker when Silver age is slightly more up my alley... but I just know this Joker will be impossible to get it down the line I decide I want him and I will regret it like passing on Page Punchers Shazam. I guess I could use Superman for my JLA display.
I was really hoping to stop buying Mcfarlanes when I got Mister Miracle and completed my JLI display but it's honestly not looking too good at this point for Mister Miracle unless I buy one for $90.

>>11577526
I don’t care. DC to me is btas, stas, jl, jlu, bb, TT, smallville, Batman brave and the bold, all the movies from Batman v Superman back to fleischer superman with supplemental material from the comics mainly 1986-2003
Gunns dc is trash and he can suck a dick. Pedo fuck.

>>11577589
Movies do increase comic figures associated with those movies though. Blue Beetle got comic versions to build up to his movie before he got his movie figure. Mr. Terrific and Guy Gardner got figures to build up to the Superman movie, while Todd had been very cagey about making a comic Guy until we heard he was in the Superman movie (most likely because he would require new tooling while more Hals and Kyles would not).

So don't think this won't affect Mattel's comic output to some extent.

>>11577501
Yeah i figured. I mean stuff does happen, like it did yesterday but we dont mention it.
>>11577582
I have to get this joker. Im joker less and i really like the head on this one. So at 10:58 im walking away from my job and i shant return until i got an order confirmation.

>>11577594
I’m sure it will I just don’t care. I can live with getting mainstream characters that are guaranteed like the core league and adjacent characters like Lois and Alfred. I don’t need retarded shit like ambush bug or bat signal.

>>11577597
>I have to get this joker. Im joker less and i really like the head on this one.
I don't own a joker either, i was waiting to find Silver Age for less than $35 but it doesn't seem like it's gonna go down again. I guess I will try to get this Joker too since it's the cheaper option. My only issue is the hat but I could probably find a loose silver age joker head if I snoop around eBay long enough.

>>11577597
what time do fig get put up for preorder again?

>>11577605
12pm est but I’d start keeping your ear to the ground around 10

>>11577613
It's hilarious how people have to press a defcon switch to try to get those McFarlane preorders ordered.

>>11577616
Yup and the figures are trash

>>11577613
So 9am for me, gee thanks I almost thought they went up at 10am and I would have for sure missed out on them.
>>11577616
Yes it's fucking ridiculous but it is what it is.

I don't see the desirability of the Superman offering so I assume most are going for the Joker? But he has a pretty bad cloth coat

>>11577526
...and? No shit you're supposed to buy all of the big guns again in a new scale/style. It doesn't matter what that dipshit says anyways, he always walks it back or changes his mind. Gunn's DC is dead within 10 years.

>>11577648
In 10 years I won't be collecting action figures anymore. Maybe sooner depending on Mattel's scale.

>>11577655
And now Jews mad

>>11577660
I don't see how he can tariff a movie, as it is not imported, it is assembled in the US from footage made elsewhere, but it has no price when brought from outside to inside, in fact it may be transferred digitally for all we know. Does he mean he will add a tax to the tickets?

>>11577599
>guaranteed adjacent characters
>Lois
nigger there’s like 200 DC Universe Classics, 200 McFarlane DC, a recent movie where she finally had something to do and was fun to watch, and no Lois figure.

>>11577671
Lois figures are needed. She is key. She would sell well online. Do not put her in stores.

>>11577673
she’s very clearly not needed

>>11577685
You’re very clearly gay

>>11577667
It’s like he genuinely doesn’t know or understand streaming

>>11577388
Just got some soft armor inserts for the side armor on my plate carrier. Gives pretty decent coverage. Now that I've got that I'm pretty much good to go.

>>11577388
>posts /DC/ general
>thinks it’s /Dc/ general

>>11577601
I never ran across the silver age version and after seeing some prices i just kinda quit looking online. I like this joker, he is scary af instead of some crack pot edgelord. Edgy joker csn work just fine but i think its gone too far for my interests. If i dont get this joker maybe ill just buy a vintage superpowers or kenner batman version.

>>11577707
Its almost like he could be a senile old man wearing a tin foil hat to catch tv waves in order to heat up left over burgers while he yells at the sprinkler. The type of neighbor you know records your house and driveway with a vhs camcorder, the type of guy you tell the kids to not make too much noise around when he goes outside.
I wish todd were american, hed be great with tariffs and movies.

>>11577772
Nah

I

>>11577526
This just means there won't be a Plastic Man movie, or for example, there wouldn't have been a Jaime Blue Beetle movie.

It doesn't mean he won't do a JLI movie with, for example, Guy, Metamorpho, Mr. Terrific, Blue Beetle (Ted), Booster, Fire and Ice (or Hawkgirl and another female I'm too tired to think of at the top of my head) but that will also include Batman or Wonder Woman or Superman in some team-ups.

>shift focus to major characters only
Nah, he'll still do shit like make a Peacemaker series when there's only TWO fucking TV series so far (three if you consider animation an equivalent series).
You're getting a Clayface movie, partially because it's cheap. So if someone pitched another similar highly inexpensive thing, it likely would fly.
I also wouldn't rule out team up movies - except it won't be Guy and Mr. Terrific, but Guy and five other characters plus a significant cameo from Diana, Barry, Arthur, Hal, Clark, Bruce, or some other reasonably interpreted Heavy Hitter.

>>11577765
>like he could be a senile old man

>>11577836
>getting axed
And that's exactly why I wrote: Gunn "will still do shit" and then followed that with "LIKE MAKE" and not with "many more seasons" or "a third and fourth and fifth season" or "even more Peacemaker"

tl;dr Gunn will shit out another series LIKE Peacemaker, featuring some other D-List rando character

>>11577857
He’s getting every he can out before his contract is up and paramount or whoever buys wb up

>>11577673
>Lois figures are needed. She is key.
I agree she's needed and she would sell well on-line, unlike say the MJ figure that Hasbro did for the Holland movie (which partially failed because it was a horrible dressed and looking figure, similarly to the Zoe figure of Selina from the Batpatinson movie). The Sasha Calle figure sold out, notwithstanding that two of the three Ezra figures peg warmed and you can still find them on sale where they are in stock like BBTS and Crapazom, Even the Melissa/Supergirl figure that Mattel did sold out.
But even as a Superman fan, and someone who owns the Bombshell Lois statue, I would never say Lois "is key."

>>11577685
>clearly not needed
wrong
I wouldn't necessarily want a movie version but a classic, vanilla figure would be great, just like they should have done a classic suited Henry as Clark Kent (even if he was barely Clark and was barely in Friday Casual clothes as Clark Kent).

I mean, Todd released a fucking Alfred figure.

>>11577601
>>11577597
Crapazom and even toywhiz have it for under $40 ATM

>>11577251
The way most distribution works is: china ships toys to east/west coast docks in shipping containers.
The shipping containers then get offloaded into temporary warehouses (usually third party logistics) to sort things out and/or shipped directly to distribution centers (Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc have their own distribution centers).
In the temporary warehouse, things get sorted and then shipped out to distributors/retailers. These temp warehouses don't want to hold shit for longer than a week, btw.

Almost no toy company has their own warehouses or distributors. Toy companies may have their own stores, so their own toys are shipped to them from the docks. They also get cases shipped to their headquarters, which is by no means a warehouse and whatever stock they get is usually equal to what a medium toy store gets (dozens of figures).

So basically, McFarlane Toys has almost no control over how fast or slow something gets to your stores, especially with Walmarts/Targets/Amazons, because these stores almost always get their products shipped directly from the docks to their own distribution centers.
Walmart/Targets are also the first to get their shipments too.

>>11578326
This figure could've been so much better if the suit wasn't so washed out looking. I picked it up cause I like the head, but it really is kind of...sun faded feeling.

>>11578343
Mostly cause of money and priority sway

>>11578326
Wow under $40 for a $20 quality action figure? What a deal!

>>11578343
Walmart/target definitely don't always get marvel Legends before Amazon as i get mine before I ever see or hear about nonfan channel waves going to stores actually appearing there

Do not be tempted by wireless Supes

Fuck yeah, got my order in.
forgot you get a nice discount if you buy a bundle and use a coupon code so that's pretty cool. ships in october apparently.

$30 for a reused Superman buck with a new head sculpt and a shiny cape with no wire. Spectacular.

>>11578616
Don't worry they just sold out, but you can still buy them on eBay for $60 each! Joker will probably be a $100 fig by next year and both mullet Superman figs are now incredibly expensive.

>>11578616
You new to action figures?

>>11578619
He's new to NuMcfarlane whereas McFarlane used to actually make new sculpts, but that time is over.

why is everyone here so miserable? nobody talks about figures anymore, it's just snyderpajeets bitching about Gunn or people bitching about the figs you weren't going to buy anyways
i get most of you here have been priced out but why even continue coming here if all you do is be a sour pussy? yeah there's like 100 problems with mcfarlanes right now but crying isn't going to fix anything, shit the line is at it's fucking end.

>>11578631
>you weren't going to buy anyways
I was going to buy Superman but the changed the cape material and neglected to add a wire. This was the version I was waiting for.

>>11578679
Just put pipe cleaners in the openings at the ends of the cape, that's what I did to my No Man's Land Batman and it basically fixed the figure

>>11578685
It’s a $30 figure having to fix it in any way shape or form is asinine

>>11578703
Okay then don't buy it.

>>11578706
I won’t Todd.
Going to buy some dragon ball figures instead

>>11578711
NTA but you don't need to announce you're not going to buy it like some overly dramatic teenage girl.

>>11578716
I’m not going to buy it twice as hard now faggot.

>>11578720
You literally can't. Trying to stick it to some random person on 4chan by not buying a toy isn't the own you seem to think it is. I don't even collect McFarts, I'm just pointing out you're being a dweeb.

>>11578738
>>11578744
Damn didn't notice he didn't have white gloves until now and now I can't unsee it
Then again, purple gloves are completely accurate to the source material.

>>11578769
Yeah but I’m going to swap the digital jokers hand and head on.

I feel an almost sexual desire for this figure, I gotta say.

Will the new joker fig's shipment be completely stolen too?

Like the returns wave I parked a preorder for everything and I’m going to cancel these too. Can’t justify the price. If anyone wants to camp Amazon if you missed joker and Superman anywhere else I’m canceling in exactly 10 minutes

>>11578415
>>11578457
Only because as of recently, Bezos has his own pallet place at the docks that get shit for Crapazom and it goes from there to his warehouse points. And since they have multiple warehouse points in the country, it feels like it gets to people faster.

>>11578616
>with a fugly new mullet head sculpt
easy pass
I bought the Fleischer and New 52, I don't need to pay more than I did just to end up with a buck that I would simply want/need to replace the head on. I have plenty of greasy badly painted mcfarts as it stands.

>>11578631
Im miserable but i dont bring it here. And i agree that we all know what to expect from this figures by now. I dont really feel a need to talk about a new figure since i assume that those interested already have their own opinions. I talked about the lithograph mtr bones came with when i got him. Maybe things will pick up again soon, deathstroke is out and several more figures should be coming soon.if the delivery dates are reliable.
>>11578808
Lol. Never heard anything else about that heist.

>>11578631
To be honest, it's almost not even worth posting your toys in this thread. Too many people are mean spirited and autistic to actually talk about the figures. They'd rather obsess about your background and accuse you of being every boogieman on the board or whine about your posing or steal your pics and repost them. It's just weird honestly.

I understand that a lot of people are priced out of toy collecting now and that sucks but you should really just enjoy what you have then and try to make the best of that. You don't need to be constantly buying new shit. But it is what it is. Please stop taking it out on the rest of us please. Thanks.

>>11578631
The classic look eaters got what they wanted. They ruined a cool, unique line and made it only for themselves, a small audience that can't support a line outside of electronics and also requires whales to shoulder price increases to keep the line afloat. They are so vocal that they turn every line into what they want.

>>11578762
now close his mouth, todd
he doesn't need to yell, your company is not 2012 mattel, you know

>>11578762
So waxy

>>11578914
Just the natural state of the plastic after mold release. I assume McFarlane Toys rarely now applies topcoats to change the finish in order to save money.

>>11578859
4chan has gotten to be basically unusable, which is a shame because everywhere else people get uptight about piracy and profanity.

>>11579071
Look at the size of that head. That plus the already dwarf proportions of a mezco is gonna look goofy as hell.

>>11579071
>let me break it down for you Bruce

>>11578859
>steal your pics and repost them
This happens with such frequency that it's honestly unnerving.

>>11579078
Helmets have to be huge to contain a normal sized head, so its perfectly normal that his helmet is large.

>>11579119
You think I don't know that, dumbass? But paired with it's crappy proportions, is going to look very dumb. They're comic characters, not real people. You can forgo a little realism to make it look good.

>>11579085
Nobody steals my pics :>(

>>11578457
>Walmart/target definitely don't always get marvel Legends before Amazon as i get mine before I ever see or hear about nonfan channel waves going to stores actually appearing there
Walmart and Target their their stuff shipped first because they need to travel further and they order the most stock.

So you may not see them there first, because they need to get to local distribution centers and THEN get sent out to retail stores... who may or may not get the newest figures, depending on how well the previous waves sold.

Whereas Amazon has fewer distribution centers/warehouses, so there's less travel time AND shit gets shipped out directly from their warehouses, instead of a 4,000-10,000 retail stores. So of course Amazon will have theirs available to ship/sell before Walmart/Target.

>>11579208
prolly suck butts.

>>11578859
What you said reminded me of neoGAF back in the early 00s, when they had a thread showing off their video game collections.

Someone in that thread found out that there was another forum reposting their images, doubting that anyone could have collections of more than 20 video games and that everyone the collection thread was putting their own collections together with other posters to make it look like they had big video game collections.

Turns out that forum was made up of Chinese nationals mostly living abroad (mostly Austrailia), working as cooks/gardeners/farmhands, and sending money back home to China. Third worlders have no idea how big the world is and how difficult it would be for posters to come together to even do that. And despite ilving in a western country, they had no clue how much shit westerns can actually afford.

... but i guess new zealand and austrailian are poor examples of western countries.

>You don't need to be constantly buying new shit
Man, back in my day, the people who got priced out made it publically known. They made big deals about how $15 was WAY TOO MUCH for a MArvel Legend or how shitty Mezco is for raising the price $15 for their One:12. Bitch bitch bitch and how they'll never buy their toys again, which are now suddenly the worst things ever.
IT makes me believe that most of the haters in this thread never bought a single DC figure, because most of the hate already existed before 2025.

>>11579208
Because you're annoying Jarret.

Something tells me Mattel and DC will allow Todd to continue to make DC statues. And he will become the Marvel and DC statue man. Just like he always wanted. No articulation anymore, he wants POA to turn to...0.

>>11579281
Who are you talking to?

>>11578631
Too many retarded schizos camping here instantly replying to every post with insane garbage or throwing tantrums. They (most likely just one person) smother the general and drive everyone else away, then bitch when no one posts their toys, then screech when someone does post their toys. Another DC General classic is when some schizo talk to himself all afternoon about someone else's Wonder Woman pose, spams a Marvel character, then starts publicly shitting his pants when people call him an autistic queer.

That’s all folks

>>11579732
Not really. In terms of design and engineering everything is done in AutoCAD. Designing the engineering on a slightly smaller figure is no different than for a 7in fig.

>>11579736
Why is Steel so weird looking? If that's even Steel and not some weird mech suit for Superman

>>11579763
You didn't convey it very well.

InArt is doing some wild shit. Got damn.

>>11579757
If you look at McFarlane's 5in Walking Dead figures or his earlier, now defunct Disney line, or his rare 6in output, you will notice McFarlane actually can't do the same engineering at 5-6in as they do at 7in. It's much worse, almost archaic. Then again McFarlane may be using a version of AutoCAD from 2012 for all we know.

>>11579772
Those are design choices, not limitations. Why he makes those choices is up to anyone's guess. Personally, I think he does it just to spite us.

>2025, InArt does wonky Death Metal designs
DC gen reaction: "Wow, Inart is doing some wild shit!"

I see no one bashing them as Death Metal garbage like they did for McFarlane Toys' Death Metal offerings back in 2021

>>11579804
That's because there are only two Death Metal figures mixed in with a bunch of stuff from other DC lines. I ask again, why are you fucking stupid? This isn't rocker science.

>>11579777
Inart is doing some wild shit tho. They look like 1 12 hot toys that you can actually play with.

>>11579808
Wrong, 4, and a lot of other stuff like the giant mech suit and the Absolute Batman that has the same non-classic air to it. And movie stuff which Todd also did.

>>11579808
It’s punk rocker science

>>11579686
Rooted hair

>>11579815
Oh God 4 out of more than a dozen figures. Oh gawd, it's the whole fucking line! Also, nobody's bitching about Absolute because that's apparently popular right now. Death Metal was lauded before it even released, and was never popular.

>>11579684
What are these designs? But also this is the kind of hair AY Nightwing should have had. Just a bit of texture would have gone a long way.

>>11579822
You might want to look up the definition of lauded unless you're implying a conspiracy by comic journos to push it.

>Absolute because that's apparently popular right now.
>Death Metal was lauded before it even released, and was never popular.
Do you have the sales numbers for the first issue of Dark Nights: Death Metal to compare? Nowhere I see does.

>>11579820
Well that ruins it, it'll be subject to horrible interactions with dust and wear and tear.

>>11579833

>>11579833
>You might want to look up the definition of lauded unless you're implying a conspiracy by comic journos to push it.
Who cares what journalists of any variety think? The actual people who read the comics hated it. I remember, I was there for it.

>Do you have the sales numbers for the first issue of Dark Nights: Death Metal to compare? Nowhere I see does
I don't need sales numbers to show that the vast majority of the fandom was sick and tired of the Perpetua shit that had been stewing for 2+ years at that point, and then retreding Metal which just took place didn't help things. Also, everyone was sick to death of the Batman Who Keks. He was massively overexposed at that point.

But because you're such a contenious little faggot here. According to CBR Dark Knights Death Metal #1 sold 260,000 copies in it's first month.

>>11579833
>>11579849
Meanwhile, Absolute Batman #1 sold nearly twice that in the same amount of time. So, eat shit you faggot bitch.

>>11579849
>>11579850

You only showed the sales on Dark Nights: Metal 1. Not Dark Nights: Death Metal 1. Different designs. The McFarlane designs that were lambasted were Dark Nights: Death Metal designs.

>>11579851
Misred the title, give me a second to pull it up.

>>11579851
Hmmm.... Interesting that DC has never published the sales numbers for that one particular book, yet for the first Metal series and Absolute Batman, the sales numbers are like the first result in Google. Did it really sell that badly lmao?

>>11579854
I anticipate Death Metal will be equal to Metal or worse, but best to have the accurate numbers to compare to Absolute.

>>11579858
Interestingly enough, DC never published the final sales numbers for that book. I don't know why, especially when they're bragging about how many issues of Absolute Batman sold. Death Metal must've sold like trash. But your assesment is sound, Death Metal, at best, will have equal sales to Metal, but it's more than likely that it's far worse. Like I said, the readership was pretty much done with Perpetua, the Batman Who Keks, and everything else related to that story.

Actually, it'd be a more fair comparison to compare the original Metal's sales to Absolute Batman. The characters in question appeared in that original book, and it wasn't nearly as hated as Death Metal was, so anon probably actually meant Dark Knights Metal with his original statement here >>11579777.

Regardless, I think it's pretty clear that the readership is more interested in Absolute Batman than Metal, by a fairly wide margin. This isn't even accounting for the higher price of comics now compared to 2021 and the overall worse economic state of the population which would result in lower comic sales.

Lmao,he sure shut the fuck up didn't he? This is why you need to shame the Stupids and make them feel bad.

>>11579874
You’re such a faggot

>>11579881
I accept your concession.

>>11579874
I didn't say DM would have higher sales than Absolute, I just wanted the real numbers to compare and see if both were popular and how much more popular Absolute was, but apparently there are none.

>>11579678
>>11579720
Would still get the supes at least, especially if it's in stores and not an annoying thing to have to find.

>>11579431
I agree painting would be a chore
You should buy some cheap plastic shit to practice if you intend to really get into customization. I know people who actually find it relaxing and enjoyable.

>>11579896
Your argument could also be stated about the original Metal, since the characters in question appeared in that too. Those sales numbers are published, and even with it not being outright despised like it's sequel, it still sold nearly half of what Absolute sold. You can infer from that Death Metal's sales being at best, equal to Metal, but more likely lower.

Regardless, the whole crux of the original argument was wondering why DC General isn't complaining about the line having four out of almost two dozen figures, being Metal figures and somehow the goalposts got moved to sales figures. Regardless, the original statement was and still is stupid. One comment doesn't dictate the consensus of the entire thread, nor should the thread be bitching to the same extent about a handful of Metal designed figures when Todd was putting out literally nothing but Metal figures for like a year.

I don't get why importers are doing NEW toys of all these older DC characters, particularly when they are repeating a version (e.g. HUSH) that other importers and toy companies shave done more than once.

I'm sure they must sell enough to make it worth their while OR in their home market, it's what they want (e.g. more TDK, more HUSH) but from, I would suspect, many buyer's and collector's perspective, it just like excess and overkill for some of these arcs/characters/lines.

And you guys bitch about $25? Holy shit. It doesn't even come with unmasked Jason head. I've purchased Marvel Legends that come with as much stuff for a fraction of the price.

>I don't get why importers are doing NEW toys of all these older DC characters
These are the characters that sell. Not too difficult to understand.

>particularly when they are repeating a version (e.g. HUSH) that other importers and toy companies shave done more than once.
It's what sells bro. Hush in particular was touted as babies first Batman comic, with the Jim Lee art, gallery of rogues all appearing, the entirety of his then supporting cast and extended Bat Family appearing, all of it. Of course it's going to be popular.

They're catering to the lowest common denominator in order to get Maximum sales.

Todd putting out literally nothing but Death Metal figures is not true though and you should know it. There is factual evidence of it on mcfarlane's site with the figure release dates and actionfigure411. It was mixed in with movie figures (just like this display) and video game figures (just like this display) and unusual comic figures (just like this display). McFarlane had figures like Deathstroke from Arkham, Batman from Arkham, Cartoon Cyborg/Batman/Superman, a wave of Snyder Cut figures, a Rebirth Joker and Flash, N52 Red Hood, Cartoon Harley, etc. all also came out around 2020-2021

The main shared function of InArt's display with McFarlane's 2020-2021 output is the low amount of classic costumes. Inart seems to have a classic Joker and a DKR Batman (which I guess you could say is a classic look, although not the most 'standard' classic look). McFarlane early in the line in 2020 had DC1000 Batman and AC1000 Supes which both work for classic looks as they may be modern comics but the looks work for classic looks. The Batman was just done horribly. From what I can see, the problems of early McFarlane are all here in this InArt display.

I suspect there is little care because InArt isn't a major budget line DC license holder ready to pump out tons of figures fast and thus the audience was looking to Todd for what they wanted, while now they look to Mattel, and ignore "weird" import lines.

>>11579915
>that sell
And I implied that - I suspect this is what sells in say Japan, where they think DC Comics is Batman and his six sidekicks.
And that Gotham is the center of the DCU
And every Robin lives at Stately Wayne Manor.

>>11580026
That’s some terrible art even compared to modern western comic slop

>>11580026
Lmao, you're implying this isn't the case for audiences outside of Japan as well?

>>11579772
>McFarlane actually can't do the same engineering at 5-6in as they do at 7in
As someone else mentioned, it was entirely a design choice.

The Halo line, that came out before Walking Dead, had around 40PoA for the Spartans. This is more than your average ML. REvoltech joints, barbell joints, were everywhere. It was insanely complex shit that you don't get today.
Of course, the range wasn't the greatest, because they didn't cut away the sculpt to give the joints room to move, for the sake of accuracy.

>>11580048
At 40poa, they cannot afford to make those anymore.

You guys should actually read some of the Absolute comics, some are pretty good for modern comics although you have to be willing to take the change ups from the norm (Superman and Martian Manhunter were good from what I have read, WW was ok; didn't really like Batman), even if they don't really have figures yet. I assume figures of them will eventually be coming from more channels than just Chinese companies

>>11580051
They can afford it, but can you?

McFarlane's Avatar line was 1:18 scale, and they made a single human sized figure which stands at around 4.4" tall. It has around 36PoA, but cost $20 (came with extra hands and head, because it was the same price as the smurfs).
Adding 4 more PoA wouldn't break the bank.

One of the best 1:18 figures out there, btw.

But people balk at paying so much for a small figure.

>>11580068
I count 27 POA

>>11580069
Whoa, thats hoarder levels of POA. You could get hurt with that much articulation.

>>11580068
see >>11580007

McFarlane has lost a ton of money and are in survival mode right now which is why they are raising prices and underproducing everything (even things that would obviously sell tons like Batman Returns wave) hoping they can ride out this patch.

They can't afford it and really neither would we want to pay what they'd charge for those Halo figures now.

>>11580081
>McFarlane has lost a ton of money and are in survival mode right now which is why they are raising prices and underproducing everything
Everyone is doing this because of the tariffs

>>11580096
Hasbro and Mattel aren't. Hell, Emma Fucking Frost is still up for preorder at BBTS weeks later.

>>11580069
Toes - 2
Ankles - 6
Knees - 4
Hips - 4
Wrists - 6
Elbows - 4
Shoulders - 6
Head - 2
Torso - 3? 4? hard to tell if both sides have barbells
So that puts it at either 35 or 36, hence "around 36"

>>11580081
McFarlane has been raising the price of their toys though and the only cuts I've noticed is that their large figures have been dumbed down, likely to keep things cheap.

Again, it's not whether they can afford it, but whether you and I can afford it.
They started a $60 premium line recently and whether it sticks around or not depends on whether the market can sustain it.

>>11580106
>Ankles - 6
>Wrists - 6
>Shoulders - 6
More like 2, 2 and 1, lol what the hell is this 6. People count per joint, not per side of the joint. And McFarlane uses pseudo-butterflies that are just a cap that does nothing but hide a gap, not a true butterfly.

>>>11580107 doesn't know the difference between joints and PoA
Oh hey, i didn't know that Todd McFarlane was posting on /toy/ again.

Love your shit man!
You should make more 1:18 lines. I'd gladly pay $20 if you keep the quality at Avatar levels.
Tons and tons of fans are out there waiting to see a mass market high quality 1:18 line again.

>>11580106
Believe it or not it certainly can be about whether a company can afford it. Companies can get low on cash flow and be maxed out on their debt. So it can be quite possible for a company to simply not be able to afford to fund some ventures, especially when they know how risky it will be to their future revenue.

>>11580114
Literally every domestic company calls joints POA. That is what a joint is anyway - a point of articulation.

>>11580133
Oh, no doubt, smaller companies might not be able to afford to give their toys joints, but McFarlane obviously is continuing to use the same engineering they've been using for the past 6 years or so. Like i said, the only thing that they cut back on are with the larger figures and that seems likely because of market conditions. All their other upcoming figures don't have those cuts.

... or is there something i don't know about?

And yes, McFarlane has dabbled in making budget lines, like with Avatar the Last Airbender, My Hero Acadamia, but those were aimed at a younger crowd than their DC, Doom, or Fortnite line. And the prices reflected who those toylines were being aimed at.

>>11580136
>i'm lying just to continue arguing

Is this packaging really going to be in Walmarts and Targets?

>>11580194
These arent toys, they are, in fact, adult collectibles aimed at a audience of 14+. If you have concerns over your children being exposed to this then perhaps thats your failure as a parent and not a responsibilty of mcfarlane toys to protect the children.

>>11580196
Their box, however, is not an adult collectible, it's something anyone in the store can see. Also, it's hilarious you think anyone here is a parent.

I hate to break it to you, sister, but your opinion is incorrect. There are actual audiences in Brazil or audiences in Russia, or pick any other place, would be able to tell you differently.
There's actual factual support for this, from browser searches on Google, to where the DCW shit (none of which was batwank until almost the end when they released that awful batwoman series) was most torrented or most watched when it landed on Netflix. They even track where shit gets translated officially and books are sold, both the English language originals and the licensed translations.
