>>10963889You may not like it but this is what peak profit looks like
>>10964034Peak profit, minimum effort
>>10964051>Peak profitNot quite, they have to move down a inch, save some more plastic.
>>10964066That's a sunk cost given all the molds are 7 inch now.
Solicitations for warhammer is out apparentlyTodd seems to be sending space marine eliminators, as well as an astra militarum figureSolicitations are all over the hobby shops, so yeah
>>10964080>White Scars figure>no bikeOh, Todd.
>>10964080>>10964149The picture is a White Scar but the listing says Eliminator, which is a sniper. Ah yes, the White Scars, famous for being sneaky and favoring snipers.
Can anyone itt put the hush superman head on the "classic" Superman for me?
>>10963889>Edgelord Batman with an absurd guns which is wildly out of the nominally regarded interpretation of the character>Ambush Bug with comic accurate Cheeks the Toy WonderI see nothing wrong here.
>>10964301Thread should've been titled casuals gonna casual. I thought I told you your opinion didn't matter OP.
>>10963889>we went from Batman to green Chapulin ColoradoThe fuck was Todd thinking?
>reeeeee it's all batman>reeeeee it's not batman
Think we'll ever get a Digital Justice Batman?Almost done with the comic, and the design kind of grew on me. I know it's not the best design. It's aight at best.
There are listings for astra militarum karskin as wellNot too familiar with who they are thoMind u all of the pictures theyre using are placeholders, not actually from todd
>>10964157If custodes can be female, then white scars can be snipers
>>10963889Oh shit, I didn't know they were making an Ambush Bug. Preordered the fuck out of that guy.
>>10963889>OC donut steel batman>classic comic accurate Ambush Bugwhat exactly is the problem here? what am i supposed to sperg out about here? also there's like 5-6 mcfarlane batman figs hitting stores right now
>>10963889This looks better than that marvel legends frog man
>>10964480Nah, "Astra Militarum" triggers the fuck out of DoWbabbies like you so it's based
>>10964512Yeah, that must be it, you're using exclusively corporate-approved lingo because you're such a le epic troll.
>No clear goggles>No blast effectsAt least the gold looks nice, too bad it's dark along with the blue. Both contrast too much with the head.
>>10964336Most people weren't reeeeing about all Batman, only a vocal minority in places like this and other hardcore collector enclaves where people know who Ambush Bug is.
>>10964656And those people's opinions don't matter. Why do you secondaries keep trying to impose your view on people who actuality care about this property?
>>10964662Ah yes only the vocal minority that happens to agree with you matters. That's why that new Mr Freeze sold out on amazon but Ambush Bug is still up.
>>10964853Correct. Stop trying to tell me what to like you secondary. At least read a fucking comic before you do anyway.
Is there any Injustice 2 reason why this Batman would have that yellow spray?
Ive decided the only way im going to get any enjoyment out of this figure is if i get rid of that giant rubber cape and put my own on. Has any one removed a knightfall / mcfarlane cape here that can give me some pointers so i dont screw this up? im going into this blind and id really appreciate any suggestions / advice
>>10964351digitalbatman
>>10964998What are you gonna replace it with?
>>10964525yeah it's shit, especially for $22just buy the two pack. you can usually find that on sale for less than the $39.99 msrpand that Booster comes with a bunch of accessories and the Blue Beetle fig.if Mcfarlane wasn't retarded and wanted to rerelease Booster Gold he should have just done what he did with the single release Target exclusive Blue Beetle. All he needed to change on the fig was give him a collar and he could have gotten away with the shitty opaque goggles again
>>10965011i plan on making my own once i find a good color match, im using the 89 shape as a template. the main help i need is knowing to how take apart the figure safely
>>10964996it's supposed to match the rim lighting from the art on the rightyes mcfarlane should never ever paint on the lighting
There's another mcfarlane grapefruit special up at Gamestop today for 30 bucks
What the hell, Todd?
>>10965060For your Mr Freeze figures duh
>>10965060i think todd should takes notes from kenner.. i like translucent plastic bits but not the entire thing
>>10965192Why would anyone take notes from a broke dead company like kenner?
>>10965194Are you seriously defending blue booger batman
>>10965200My man why are your boogers blue
>>10965192This thing was one of my favorites.
>>10961890>Krypto (white dog and red cap, very comic book accurate).Only potentially but barely mildly interesting thing to be posted in this crapfest aisle of Todd Hate/Todd Love at the Mongolian Basketweaving Fruit Stand ....
>>10965231That's a nice design. I miss figures having snap on armor like that.
any modern dc multiverse figure with huge tits?
>>10964525>No clear gogglesYeah - this totally ruins any desire to get this, even if I saw it for $5.99 at Ross, I'd walk on by.
>>10965238Maybe the DC Bombshells stuff?
>>10965244I don't know which one has the biggest boob?
>>10965068Call me when that tall boy is actually up for preorder. I still think he is canceled or is a custom
>>10964458No, it does not. I wish i liked the ambush bug figure, but after animal man im good.
Soon..>>10965231I think the reason that figure works well is because its basically just the sonar suit but beefed up. Personally i thought that was a too chunky back in the day and i preferred pic related as my sonar batman
Remember when Kenner totally spoiled the Batman: Mask of the Phantasm movie?
>>10965237>I miss figures having snap on armor like that.they made the new page punchers superman just for you.
>>10965321phantasm with tits is hurting my brain. never knew this one even exists until years later, my stupid child brain this this guy was supposed to be phantasm for the longest time
>>10965328oh fuck i never realized how good this line was
>>10965328The outfit she wears in the last act of the movie is breaking your brain?
>>10965020>>10964998>i'd really appreciate any suggestions / adviceIf you aren't willing to go to reddit and aren't confident just going on some of the custom mcfart video bloggers and spending a few hours going through those, I'd ask on the custom/work bench thread that gets posted on this board on the regular.I got better advice on the /r subreddits, personally but every old, pre-hiromoot queen on here will scream and moan at that.
>>10965321It was a terrible movie eh.
>>10965328That's adorable, anon.
>>10965280You better be sure you like that Batman because after putting that cape on it you wont be able to resell it for the prices a KF Batman goes for. It's yours now.
>>10965345Nice try, anon.
>>10965238>>10965244>>10965250Actually if you can deal with the broad bodies, particularly at the hips, the Crime Syndicate Superwoman and Flash movie Supergirl are probably your best bets if you mean Toddslop only. Some of the DC Direct had more perky breasts, perhaps, like the Rule 63 Superwoman that is also with the Batwoman from that wave, but she has a very distinct face. So your best bet might be this, which tends to be way overpriced on the secondary market just because it's a bit hard to find.
>>10965355Man that looks like shit. Todd would make a much better one.
>>10965360He didn't, really.
>>10965366>Posts a different iteration of the character from the movie no one watchedKek, you sure are a fucking retard.
>>10965376Ok, he WOULDN'T, judging by that figure.
>>10965366The way Todd does shoulders bugs me so much.
>>10965360I finally found one two months ago for a good price, used, with some paint smears that I was actually able to clean up, and she was part of a lot of about 5 figures that I will be able to flip 2-3 (for either what I paid or close) for the entire lot, so it was essentially free. I don't like the cape, it's excessively big, but that's actually accurate to the comic book. Her figure is good one, I can understand not liking the hair - but again, accurate to the comic.If all that is an issue, the Lucy Lane Superwoman from the New Krypton wave is probably more your speed since she has longer hair but she's even way more overpriced and I've never seen her loose, secondhand, in over a year plus of looking through sites.Todd makes truly SHITTY female figures. Don't defend that slop just to hate on DC Direct; it's not even Mattel you're bashing.
>>10965387Its mostly just how some imports do it although a bit cheaply with the washer just covering the gaps rather than an actual butterfly joint
>>10965355thanks for putting me in the right direction
>>10965401With mcfarlane you as always have to be really picky. A lot of the figures are bad but they make some good ones too. The superwoman and supergirl from target are pretty bad for example. But the Injustice 2 Supergirl headsculpt is pretty nice
>>10965231These are the type of repaints Todd should be shitting out
>>10965350Almost had me
>>10965526He's getting there, he just hasnt picked any of the tasteful ones yet. i know most of this general doesnt like them but the super powers figs are actually pretty good minus the first wave
>>10965562ooo shiny batmen
>>10965622I bet it was this one
Grabbed gold label dawn of dc flash. How much do you guys think it sucks and how poorly does it reflect on my decision making?
>>10965639The body is an ancient mold of Flash. The effect parts are good but they are reuse from the ancient mold. If you weren't around for the old mold then this was an opportunity to get it I suppose but there was a better looking Flash released some time ago. The headsculpt on the Dawn of DC Flash makes him look like a crazed psycho as well, so he could pass for Reverse Flash dressed up as Flash.
M'lady
>>10963889There's a lot of legitimate shit to criticize this line for but releasing an Ambush Bug figure sure as hell isn't one of em.>bu-but he's obscureThere's no point in a long lasting line that only ever covers the most popular characters over and over again.
>>10966007He doesn't really fit mcfarlanes previous edgy style but that is gone now
>>10966007I don't think OP is criticizing character choice (if he is, he's retarded), he's critizicing effort.
>>10966268Read the thread anon, these people are bitching because they don't know who Ambush Bug is.
>>10966268Better than the crap marvel legends make such as frog man.
>>10966271Are you the sutist that made the frog man thread?
>>10966273Did you get a boner when robo don't know slaps down a fresh new weekly OVERview for those chunky six in her kino's coming out if the wood works while fwoosh went broke and bankrupt no thanks to false promises?
>>10966274Why are you ban evading?
>>10966297Why don't you fuck off to redit already and cry about your precious homosexual faggot cowboy getting made fun of on the wholesome secret club 4 Ch an?
>>10966297Don't reply to it. I'm pretty sure it's a bot.
>>10965695I legit thought it was a zombie flash or vampire or something, but im kinda ok with the face. It is my only flash aside from super powers so a day later im ok with my impulse buy. Reverse flash is professor zoom right? Which makes me want to get a few rogues now, but i dont like the few ive seen so far.
>>10966389You don't like Gorilla Grodd?
Green Lantern is finally in stock at Amazon, but what the actual fuck is that delivery date? Why does it need 3 weeks to be delivered once it releases?I'm debating if i should cancel my Booksamillion preorder with no delivery date and preorder it off Amazon instead, I'll save $5 since shipping will be free but knowing Amazon it'll probably arrive in June if I'm lucky
>>10966389Are the few Flash bad guys we've seen page punchers? Meaning it's not the traditional costume?
>>10966496>Are the few Flash bad guys we've seen page punchers?only heatwave and captain cold are page punchers i think
>>10965783best joker still
>>10966509I think there was a Grodd page puncher and an Injustice Grodd. I think the only comic book Flash villain we've actually gotten is Reverse Flash, probably because it was an easy repaint. Oh, and I guess Captain Boomerang now.
>>10966523The Mortal Kombat one is surprisingly good.
>>10966530even if its good the vidya jokers all have crappy designs that figures cant fix in my opinion
>>10965344i dont need reddit, jeez you guys are no fun
>>10966530>The Mortal Kombat one is surprisingly good.Unironically the best Mcfarlane Joker fig, i honestly think the MK11 Joker is probably one of the best Joker designs ever madeif the fig had more paint and the accessories weren't so fat it would be a 10/10 fig
>>10966395Im a casual todd toys guy, actually im casual about most comic book toys. I just cant afford to collect multiple lines so im unaware of whats around. >>10966481Huh, ill check this out. >>10966496Those are what im aware of. They dont look bad i guess, but captain cold is more meancing and i dont get that feeling from those figures. They look like mega man villians imo. Guess i could get the rival but im no great rush.
>>10966601This is McFarlane Gorilla Grodd. Flash villain, smart gorilla.
>>10966481fuck it, cancelled my booksamillion preorder and ordered it off amazonsaved like $6 and i have an actual delivery date now but jesus fuck why is it 3 weeks after it releases?
>>10966683>Betting on AmazonDangerous business
>>10966269For some yes, but my intent is that the execution of the design doesn't match the McFarlane style of 2020. I don't know if there could be an execution of Ambush Bug's design that does, but it'd require actual paint on the figure besides its head for one. Something they weren't willing to do.
Todd is just the worst when it comes to this shit.
>>10966481>Why does it need 3 weeks to be delivered once it releases?Because when McFarlane ships like 5000 units of a figure to Amazon, it doesn't get delivered, processed and sent off to the people who preordered in a day.
>>10967017Todd does not like it when people speak ill of the grapefruit.
Looks way too small for 7 inch
>>10964372Average McFarlane fan
>>10967079These seem dangerously unprofitable the more niche they go with them. I can see Keaton's Batmobile, but deep diving into stuff like a design used in a few trade paperbacks seems like a futile effort.
>>10967017Todd knows that variants are what killed comics in the 90s, right?
>>10967085Variants keep toys alive due to molds being the #1 cost. There's no real issue with him making these dumb repaints and gimmicks since they're so niche they're entirely optional. Now something like platinums of different looks or random waves costing $40 is far more egregious as these impact the average fan of the line.
>>10967079> irl Todd is heck'en wholesome 1/12How does he sculpt figures big than him?
>>10967079non-descript batmobiles are so fucking lame these days, you can do better todd. theres time to fix it please todd
>>10967033The cape and ape index/yaoi hands ruin this figAlso those arent the original panties right? What are they from? Same with thag head
>>10964351>Digital Justice Batman>Iron Man: CrashOh those were the days my friend
>>10965068Looks great, but it's real?
>>10967205Sit it lower on the neck and it's alright
>>10967205That poor, poor wash. It was made so lovingly by a random Chinese man in a factory only to be removed as worthless.
>>10967209I'm trying to find the right peg for it. The one I have in RN works perfect for the Affleck head but this head sits like a millimeter too high. The next shortest peg I have puts it town way too low and makes him look like a peanut head.
>>10967214I would've left it had it been on the back as well. I'd rather it be uniform. Hopefully when it gets rereleased with a plastic cape it won't be half finished.
>>10967220A better solution would be to add your own wash on the back (or redo the whole thing with your own wash). It doesn't have to be perfect or look exactly the same as the factory wash as the back is less noticed. It's useful to know how to do a wash for customizing, as it can really help a figure's details stand out better.
>>10967228The option is always there but I don't want to. I think it still looks great without a wash.
>>10967085>Todd knows that variants are what killed comics in the 90s, right?Thats an odd way of saying pump and dump speculators and bandwagon riding comic publishers flooding the market but its ok. Im sure you are right. It wasnt dumb publicity stunts or endless cross overs or any of the other reasins like marvel buying their distributer or like. Nope variant covers killed the stupid comic boom of the 90s. I dont wanna sound like a cock sucker man but damn.
>>10967241Calm down Todd
>>10965419NP>>10965422>With mcfarlane you have to be really picky. >... Injustice 2 Supergirl headsculptSee, this is my issue. I've been fine with some McFarlane figures. I understand the complaints people have with the Bermejo Page Puncher but I ended up with two because I bought one at Target and then ended up winning an auction for another new one for $10; one will end up being fodder when I get more free time. Same with Red Son and that Solar Suit (Lois & Clark) Superman. But other things I regretted or returned or simply passed them by. These people saying, I used this head and these wrists and these feet, I just don't understand why they want to go to that much work. I can see fixing a few things. Especially if I don't have to pay full retail to do so. More than that is a waste of time and annoying.>>10965562The Super Powers are fine at $9.99 each. I'm eyeing the Hal Jordan if I end up being able to get him on sale with free shipping which is what I am expecting, and if it doesn't happen, I'll live.
Who is Wave Rider?
>>10967264Whoops.
>>10967271A hot head
.
>>10967286Me when I get out of the shower
>>10967286where's the cum?
>>10966389I like Flash and I agree with you. A friend on one of the DC Community Boards told me those Page Puncher Heatwave and Captain Cold were marked down and they were like $8 or 9 but the figures looked like awful crap. If I wouldn't put a bad comic book cover up on my wall, why would I buy this crap just to have a toy. Sadly, there aren't many good figures for Flash rogues but there could be.The Grodd one is actually decent but doesn't interest me at all. I do own a Reverse Flash but it's an older DC Direct. >>10966481>>10966683Learn patience, pal. I'm still waiting for something to ship out next week and I'm actually debating making it worth Bezo's time and buying something else tonight or tomorrow (I have store credit at Crapazom) so it will all arrive together. Save a tree.>>10967017#Idiots Gonna Idiot>>10966650There's also the one without that armor crap that just looks like a large Gorilla.>>10967033The hands and the wrist do look weird. I do like the face, I'll wait for some people to sell just that for $10 or for someone to post an abused painted over body for $0.99 and see how high the auction goes.>>10967264He's related to DC's version (kinda) of the Time Lords or Marvel's TVA (but they predate them by a tiny bit).https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Time_Masters
>>10967033This is a custom right? I'm holding out hope Reeves Superman will have a cloth cape. It's gonna be 90% reuse anyway at least give me that.
Wondercon 2024 reveals.
>>10967453
>>10967453>>10967455thanks slowpoke
>>10967453Never thought I'd see a Sportsmaster.
>>10967453JASON X?!>>10967455That giant bat is just fucking hilarious
>>10967453>>10967455Looks like you didn't set your time machine backwards far enough, traveler.
>>10967453Army builders, cool.
what version of Green Arrow are we getting? they haven't shown off the figure and the back of the box shows two designsand will Superman have his red panties?
>>10967480We all discussed this like a month ago when these were revealed.
>>10967480Longbow hunters Yes and he'll be on the earth 2 buck
>>10967527>Longbow huntersGaySo no actual classic Green Arrow fig yet>Yes and he'll be on the earth 2 buckNice, hopefully the headsculpt isnt shit.
it’s over
>>10966528>>10966509Yeppers.A really dull crappy Heatwave and an even duller but more absurd Captain Cold
>>10967480Huh? But i can buy an animal man? Am i missing something? >>10967575Is longbow that bad? Havent read it in over a decade, but i seem to recall it wasnt as action focused as i wanted.
>>10966007>There's no point in a long lasting line that only ever covers the most popular characters over and over again.
>>10967779It's a bit crazy how many of these Mcfarlane has covered by now really
>>10967453sportsmasterportsmaster
>>10967763Animal Man probably isn't selling well enough on his own.
>>10967453I can finally have Sportsmaster fight Casey Jones.
>>10967205looks like some one put a batsuit on a corpse
>>10967205Why would you ever take OFF a wash?
Is this Catwoman the only one in the line that doesn't have the diaper crotch and actual bicep and thigh swivels?
>>10967868wheres her neckwhy is her chin the same width as her torso
>>10967868Why yes that is the only good Catwoman in the line, thank you for asking.
>>10967880>brokie couldn't find one
>>10967763>Is longbow that bad?no, i just want his classic costume. his longbow hunters costume is shit in my opinion and we got a silver age green lantern so not completing the hard traveling heroes duo is gay
>>10967952He'll be a collectors edition
>>10967952>Todd is only going to release one Green Lantern ever!Never understood these retards.
>>1096798625 vs 30, what a deal!
>>10968024Is this how a poor person's mind works? You just worry about double digit costs all day?
>>10963889>We finally get an Ambush Bug figure>He is in Todd's weird ass scale that won't go with any of my other superhero figuresHurts a little.
>>10968096Oh, just get some Neca. Or Diamond Select.
>>10968096It hurts alot, especially when their rival company fits with every other goddamn figure out there and your stuck with todd's scale.
>>10968098>their rival company fits with every other goddamn figure out therethey don't even fit within their own line
>>10968036Anyone who collects action figures seemingly should be at most middle class given the commitment to career and social skills needed to be a middle manager, VP or CEO are not really going to coincide with the same individual.
>>10968227Is this why you aren't successful? You're already thinking it's too hard? Do you think we really work harder than you? lmao
>>10968242Social skills are a pretty big factor in being successful. Not hard work.
>>10967986>He'll be a collectors editionAre you just talking out your ass or are we getting a collectors edition Green Arrow?
>>10968252He's speculating. But there have already been like 2 Green Arrows made already
>>10967868Looks like a man KEK.
>>10968252Collectors edition
>>10968245So you're socially inept?
>>10968096>>10968098If the quality of an action figure is what you're worried about, your priorities are just a bit out of whack.
>>10968258speaking of, it's funny how Catwoman has a bigger dick than batman
>>10967952the longbow hunters costume wouldn't suck so much if he had a hat instead of the boring hoodgreen arrows hat is like superman's red trunks, yes you could make it work if you removed them but they lose something special without them.
>>10968271that batman buck has never looked good
>>10968285Neither did that Catwoman buck either unfortunately
>>10968288sucks because the tits were headed in the right direction
>>10968271That is one sexy looking Batbuck.
>>10968291the spawn 2-pack ver is the best btw
>>10968291the narrow chest and horrid knees are my favorite.
Largest Target in LA and Orange Counties, 12 aisles of toys, including one entire aisle (both sides) Lego and another entire aisle just Barbies, with a different aisle for the monster girls and other dolls.
>>10968332And just 4 DCMV boxes. Nice distribution.
>>10968332Which Target? All the ones in the Valley look like this most days.
>>10968003It's more baffling to me that it took four years to get a Hal that wasn't stuck in a two pack while we've had five Johns released in the same time
>>10968350Wouldn't surprise me if WB mandates a certain amount of diversity in which characters are made.
>>10968342The one by Western and Sunset that it took them forever to get final approval to finish. I think there's two stores near Huntington Beach that are bigger (more square footage) and technically, the La Cienaga store near LAX is also 'bigger' but this one has more aisles for toys, because they also have that collectors nook, and the pokemon section, plus the section for the Fisher Price and other kids toys.>>10968332They had to put Power Rangers and other crap to fill in the section so it wasn't TOTALLY bare.And if you all think FUCK TARGET, these are selling out on his store, that's like thinking because 100 people are selling out a nightclub every night, SO and SO is as popular as Taylor Swift and should have a movie made of her concert that millions will watch....
>>10968342To be fair, I wondered in specifically looking for a NECA as a gift and to pick up some TMNT's if they had them for my neighbor since we're on the westside and the two nearby large Target's too us did not have much. And this was better than the two other stores I checked out last week, but I think I'll need to go to the stores near the college campuses or tell her to order online for her TMNTs or something.
>>10968350I think Todd is a John Stewart fan. I never thought there'd be a reference to GL:Mosaic anywhere ever then that last platinum came out.
>>10968367I got excited cause I thought that King Shark had elbow articulation but those are just bands holding it.
>>10968368Because he's like Albert Simmons.
Anyone got a guess at how many years before we get a Guy Gardner?
>>10968368John is cool. Frankly all the GLs up til Jess are cool, Hal is just the [toyler]second coolest after Guy
Whats the most obscure character Todd has done so far? Is it actually Ambush Bug or does something like Batrocitus actually count as more obscure?
>>10968338To be fair, there were two more boxes of the white bearded Aquaman's at the collector's nook area, I didn't bother photographing those.And three of those BTAS Scarecrows that are always parked in that Nook, that no one has buying, are still warming the peg. I was at this store last Christmas, and they were there, with more of that BTAS stock as well. In fact, that entire section was full, including Retro Bat '66 crap and some Super Powers, and yesterday it was just seven things (if you count the two Disney toys) from Todd in that area. There were literally more remaindered, discounted Shazam and Flash movie Batkeaton Funko DC boxes in the clearance section (about 20) than there were McFarlane toys in the entire store, if you counted the Disney Microverse and any other product MTS (My Hero) makes besides DCMV.>>10968380Yeah, I did pick up the car for the neighbor, it's a birthday boy gift she needed for this weekend, and she doesn't have time to search for Turtles.
why cant todd give all his female figures an ass as great as she-spawn?
>>10968412DC has to approve
>>10968271Anon you gotta fix that cape. It looks awful around the neck.
>>10968420We've seen Arkham Catwoman.
>>10968271Could someone modify this Catwoman to have a better crotch?
>>10968435only if its for making her dong bigger
I dont know what the hell to get anymore. i just want a batman thats fun to pose that isnt hush
>>10968444Amazing Yamaguchi Batman? Not that I've ever had one
>>10968444Get the first appearance Batman with the purple gloves. It's the Hush body but a fabric cape so it won't get in the way.
>>10968368>I never thought there'd be a reference to GL:Mosaic anywhere everthere's been toys of that suit before
>>10968457I think people are more surprised because DC have been reluctant to acknowledge it at all since Gerard Jones was convicted in 2018.
>>10968517Actually fuck it nevermind, looks like they just did a War Journal variant cover referencing it a couple months ago. Great series by the way, it and the Adams GL run are probably the best two books DC are putting out right now.
>>10968444as far as mcfarlanes go, the DC Comics 27/ First Appearance Batman is the most fun I've had posing a Batman from them
>>10968551So this is the new meme Batman after Knightfall
>>10968562no lol
>>10968562Surprising what a wired cape can do for popularity.
>>10968517>Gerard JonesI had to google him cause i forgot about him for a moment, that mug shot of him is haunting, i thought he was a serial killer for a sec.
>>10968565I'll let you know if the Cassandra Cain wired cape makes me googoo for McFarlane Toys again
>>10968517>since Gerard Jones was convicted in 2018>6 years in federal prison for CPFucking hell, didn't knew that. Men of Tomorrow is a great book, and yeah >>10968567 that mugshot made me think he killed a ton of people. >Jones subsequently began writing about his experiences in prison, and about the life events that led him to commit his crimes; these writings were collected by his friends and former colleagues, and posted online.Shit.
>>10968585it probably won't. the freakishly long legs on the body they used don't look good in any pose. >>10968562i dont think so. im just a weirdo who really likes this one a lot.
>>10968640There's a few youtubers raving about it too. The cape looks great but my problem is I already have too many Batmen and this isn't exactly my favorite look by a mile.
>>10968642i get that. it is a very specific look and wouldnt work in most displays. im just a sucker for classic designs
>>10968420ASSPROVED
>>10968640Picture unironically sold me
>>10968650Godzilla doing a Rampage back there XD
>>10968650That's actually not a surprisingly horrible Dick.>>10968664I realize her entire costume is black, the figure just looks bad all black however.
>>10968664>this fucking figure is $80 to $100 because of this rubber overlay
>>10968096Remember anon, size doesn't matter. I just put them to fight with my other figures who are even 5 inch.
>>10968096>weird ass scale1:10 is not a weird scale.
>>10968870Its not weird, its retarded
>>10968859I wasn't even willing to pay 25 for it when it came out due to the meh headsculpt and diaper. Collectors have some low standards.
This figure has no use except as fodder.
>>10968664Did Anthony ever give this figure of his butt ratings? It'd have to be 10/10 right?
>>10968383He's gonna be in the new Superman movie.
>>10969352That would be a movie figure though which may not work as a comic figure. If they have a brain they'll do a comic ver around the same time to benefit from cross-promotion
Golums when?
>>10965333Bro what the fuck is this figure from? I looked at that website and it mentions Knight Force Ninjas line but I don’t see this one in that line, and parachute Batman gets me nada.
>>10969519now that you mention that it maybe a custom bash between these two. still they are both good figures. part of me thinks it could have been a toyfair exclusive from baack in the day/warner shop exclusive
>>10969593Damn I think you are right, imma have to snag that Azrael and these two someday.
>>10969605If i were you id try to make sure the seller tellers you theiur conditions since the action features on these guys specifically loosen the joints real easily and most the figures i had back in the day wound up with legs and and arms basically becoming noodles even if you are extremely delicate.while we're on topic look at this guy he has 4 buttons on his back that make him kick and punch hes the most obnoxious thing i own. he s also bigger than most mcfarlane figures
>>10968650Stop posting these im getting jelly
>>10969209>as fodder.I already found the Krypto from that useless Mullet Supes Krypto box on EB for $5. And some anon is selling a NIB version of the Green painted version for $0.99 with only $9 for shipping (and this guy combines shipping so you could get it for an average of less than $10 total) and not a single person has bid on it yet, whereas other stuff in his auction has bids.
>>10968383>>10969352>>10969358Yeah, it will be a piece of plastic that barely looks like a badly aging Rick Castle in an awful bowl hair cut.A doll that looks like the father (or maybe grandfather) of Malcom Reynolds who got fat butt then had too lard sucked out to wear any form fitting clothes, so you'll get a GL Guy outfit with something that looks like slacks or even cargo pants, and a very thick version of the sweater vest jacket.
>>10969209That's most McFarlanes I buy>>10969635You're actually stupid. Your line of thinking is moronic.
>>10969613Thanks for the advice anon! I also will have to look into that one, I got soft spot for stupid stuff like that.
>>10968551You are probably right. im sure the next mefex might be the only thing that comes close for the forseeable future (unless todd really embraces the cloths capes more which im down for) im really upset the targets and games i check didnt have the DC27
>>10969730McF can't really go back to the plastic capes now that people have gotten a taste of cloth capes, especially with how many figures have had them. It's about the only premium thing McF does.
speaking of cloth capes, didn't think this would be in until tomorrow. glad to finally have a cassandra cain after passing on the dcsh 16 years ago when i first started collecting again.
>>10969768swapped the hands instantly
>>10969768>>10969770Is it really just the Batgirl buck with a new head/cape?
>>10969768Figure made me a believer in wired cloth capes. It allows such a better range of poses than plastic preposed capes.
>>10969773i think so, but i didn't buy the sgm or 3j batgirls. it's unfortunate that she's so tall, since cass is 5'5" to barb's 5'11"
>>10969761plastics capes look better.Cloth is nice for posing and balancing, but plastic always looks better.
>>10969807heres ur cape bro, have fun never being able to sit in the tumbler thats coming out
>>10969768This and the first appearance batman are the only 2 figs from mcfarlane I wish were 1/12 scale, id buy them in a heartbeat. Damn you, Todd!!!!
What is it about the face that makes her seem so manly?
>>10969821oh shit this might genuinely be an oversight on Mcfarlanes part. quick todd if youre reading this pump out of begins suit with a cloth cape stat your tumbler needs it
>>10969842The six pack version has a cloth cape.
>>10969821>>10969842Can you guys find smaller images?
>>10969807nah, second you do any kind of semi athletic pose it looks stupid.
>>10969840literally everything
>>10969847Does anyone have a real answer?
>>10969845you dont have that 6 pack. hell i bet none of us have that 6 pack and we're certainly not gonna all get it once the tumbler comes>>10969845
>>10969821I don't care for Batmobiles, nor vehicles for caped superheroes in general.Dynamic plastic capes > blankets/towels on wireAnd to be fair, i haven't really seen McFarlane's new cloth capes in person, so maybe they're nicer than your general cloth cape from other lines.
>>10969851Yes, I do.
>>10969852how dare you besmirch micromen, their one weakness was their capes and they only have plastic because they're so small todd doesnt have that scaling issue theres no excuse.you've had several decades of plastic capes to pick from its time to let the cloth reign
>>10969867post it u wont
>>10969872Already knew this was coming
>>10969807It doesn't to me, especially if they have a flat, straight down cape but you're trying to do a dynamic pose jumping to the right or left.
>>10969877cool box bro but i dont think that will fit in the tumbler
>>10969890I didn't buy these to PLAY with them, these are gonna pay for my kid's college fund.
>>10969868i hope that's real leather, because that fuzzy texture on pleather is tacky as fuck.Also, looks bad. Both sides should have the grain leather texture if it's pleather, but that would add even more thickness, huh?I think DCD and Mezco have best cloth capes, but even then, i still prefer plastic. There's no hope for cloth when it bunches and bulks around the seams.
>>10969894>MezcoAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>10969877Who let you outside? Get back indoors right now mister.
>>10969902I built a bigger shed and I'm moving stuff from one storage place to another!
>>10969894it was my first custom from like 2018 i probably shouldnt have posted that as an example. cape is waaay to thick and it isnt even the right shape. i just dont have to many cloth caped batmen atm which is kinda why i want todd to do more so i dont need to create more abominations
>>10969905Looks better than anything Mexco ever did
>>10969904>I built a bigger shedImplying anyone on this board can do manly stuff like that. Get your butt back inside mister.
>>10969909its on par i really dont like that neca figure at all, but back then it was hot shit
>>10969905should have used bridal leather.You can also shave off the fuzziness on calf/lamb skin and it's much thinner.It's not hard, but you can fuck it up, but when you're working on a small scale, you have plenty of material to work with even if you only buy one square foot of leather.With real cloth, you kinda need to learn how to sew.Also, they sell plenty of custom capes on ebay. I'm sure they're all quality. Kinda expensive tho.Anyway, nothing really will ever match the perfectness of plastic. Always dynamic and looks most accurate.
>>10969932just get a statue you contrarian
>>10969932Why not just buy statues then?
Plastic capes are a relic from the era when people could only A pose their figures because they had 10 poa max.
>>10969932>Anyway, nothing really will ever match the perfectness of plastic. Always dynamic and looks most accurate.But the plastic capes in the very picture you posted aren't dynamic.
>>10969173>dat cope
>>10969944Still wouldn't pay 25 for it.
>>10969944Are they going to make Batman Returns Catwoman?
>>10969932if i cant do this i dont want it
>>10969894That cape looks trash. Not sure why they went with that material in the first place.
>>10969952fitting for a batman thats shaped like a garbage can
>>10969939They're dynamic.Here's what a nondynamic cloth looks like.No life. No air going through it to look full.For non-wire superhero cloth capes, it looks flat and doesn't have taht ruffled shape people associate with cape comics (those peaks on the edges, that eventually became part of the cape design).Most toylines when they use wired cloth look like they're using blankets and towels, and usually an unfinished looking underside. No natural looking folds either, unlike plastic capes that are sculpted to look natural.
>>10969970My idea of dynamic is moving with the character in a natural manner. This is possible with wired capes, >>10969768 while more limited with plastic ones since they're mostly static
>>10969970>>10969934
>>10969934Just cut a piece out of an old shirt or your underwear if you want a fabric cape.
>>10969980static (as in one pose) yeah, but dynamic nonetheless.And like i said, yeah, cloth can be more dynamic, but it's usually too thick and the underside usually looks unfinished.Again, if McFarlane made a really nice cloth, I can't really say until i've seen it in person. Black can be hard to judge, because it absorbs shadows.Also, the picture you linked to has Robin with his plastic cape looking super nice. Just look at how the cape gives itself shadows. Its closer to the comics than a cloth cape can be.I forget if they have that really nice thin silicon rubber too.
>>10969970heres ur dynamic cape pose
>>10969995He would consider that dynamic by his definition. But maybe just not a good figure. People seemed to dislike the mcfarlane cartoon figures so they stopped getting made. Now some people's teams will be forever incomplete.
>>10969905I have the same Batman (great figure but it's more of a statue, the articulation is worthless) and used pleather. Like >>10969932 said you can shave that fuzz, I went an extra mile, sanded then used a hot iron to give it shape to the wrinkles. It's not leather in the movie, I believe it's some fabric with a coating of latex/rubber.
>>10970004It's not my definition, it's literally the English language's definition.Why don't you consider drawings to be dynamic, just because they're stuck in a single pose forever and ever? You just have a very narrow or selective view.Check out these shadows, which are more faithfully reproduced on plastic capes. No paint apps are even needed.
>>10970041fuck off subby
>>10969851>>10969821>>10969842I also do not have that 6 pack, but I did slap an extra cloth cape that I had on Bale. For the life of me, I can't get a good photo angle, but it does show how you can get some more dynamic poses with the cloth capes. I'm fairly happy with this one but I'll probably replace him with the mafex if it ever gets a reissue.
>>10967171>>10964351Computer generated comics!? This was a thing? I wouldn't mind getting figures of these iterations.
>>10970088It's basically just early photoshop comics.15 years later they did another digital only comic book and it looks a million times worse.
>>10970111some more shit
>>10970111>a million times worseyou mean better. Early 90's CGI is kino while 80's EGA shit looks like ass. I get that this war machine comic is ass and is actually from the early 00's but it still has that silicone workstation/90's CGI look.
>>10970114You're dumb.Crash looks like stylized amazing that puts any current pixel game shit to shame and would have been praised in the 90s by anyone who enjoyed SEGA CD or PCE VNs.Whereas WM2.0 was written by the worst writer Marvel had at the time and looks like unfunny bootleg shit from the 90s. Irredeemable trash, except i guess from people who enjoy that Jerma guy.
>>10970119Yeah none of what you said has anything to do with what I pointed out. Crash looks like the worst of the 16 bit era, though I will point out that we don't have the benefit of viewing them on CRT's which would definitely help. And yeah of course the art style would have been praised in the early 90's PC's were shit even compared to consoles and that shit was pre-rendered. I'm not pixel-art hater, I just have a soft-spot for 90's CGI. Those 80's comics would look great with a scanline filter or something if you ever wanted a fun way to reread them.
>>10970122are you seriously a parody of the retarded dad who gets his kid bootleg pixar movies and thinks they're just as good just cause they use cgi?
>>10970137Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, it appears. That's ok, I will clarify. Yes, I realize the Warmachine comic is an utter abomination. I'm just saying I think the art style looks better and that I'm not a fan of the pixel-art style that Crash uses. Seriously try the scanline idea btw, I think it could be cool to read those early digital comics the same way the designers made them.
>>10970139>Reading comprehension is not your strong suitYeah, no.>I'm just saying I think the art style looks bettersee? parody of retarded dad who gets his kids bootleg pixar films because he thinks cgi looks great just cause it's cgi.
>>10970009trust me i know several real props have passed through my hands. the cape i did was just for fun
>>109680967 inch is the best scale albeit
>>10967464Based on a scene that was cut from the moviehttps://youtu.be/q-ssaFJZLUU?si=MRkneg2L6S-4vvip&t=149
>>10970114I unironically liked that early 2000s War Machine 3D porn art
>>10969641>actually>thinking
>>10969902>>10969904>>10969912
>>10970451Why would they cut such a cool scene?
>>10970469mcdonalds
>>10970004just get the jlu dc directs. no one even knos they exist half of the time. you got the whole gang
>>10970479
>>10970470I can just see the McDonalds executives watching a cut of the movie saying "I don't know about this giant bat scene. It may frighten children. We don't want a repeat of Batman Returns!"But likely the studio self-censored on merely the hint of something dark, and Tommy Lee Jones was told to play up Two Face like a cartoon character to make him seem less frightening
>>10970466wow i heckin dog i cant wait to get funkos of the pupperino heckin wholesome
>>10970280>don't talk to me or my batson ever again
>>10970479>>10970485I wanted some of the Gentle Giant micro figs and the cheapest way to get them was to buy a new lot from a seller off EB, I ended up with a few of these (the smaller 3.75" versions, the Aquaman and the Hawkgirl so I am guessing those were the least popular) and a Logan. If I even get $3-4 each plus the shipping, of course, I'll recover my expense. I'm going to make a custom with a Todd Slop from this show, but I would have no interest in a body buck that matched Bruce Timm's model style. But I'm probably not the key audience for that art, and this these toys.
Batmang
>>10968444here or wait for the revoltech one, there isnt a better time than now to get a batman in a normal scale
>>10971510i cant get the foot stand thing in mine without feeling like im breaking it
>>10971527looks like he needs a bit more neck in this shot
>>10972060im not sure how his neck works
>>10971986You can find stands for pretty cheap on ebay. I picked up about twenty for like eight bucks.They’re thin enough they don’t don’t distract from the figure and the solid black looks better on a shelf than the huge quarter inch thick clear stands people buy for bulk displays. I’ve noticed a lot of those clear ones have three or four pegs for different sizes but the peg McFarlane uses fits most other figures.
>>10972077>Bottom right picture looks like hes sucking on a pacifierCan't unsee
Next thread: >>10972407
>>10972206
>>10969840No neck due to hugefuck trapezoids, long brick jawed face, jutting wide chin, flat gaunt cheeks and thin lips. "Shes" frankly got more male features than your average male figure. Unironically looks like a troon as every other anon has pointed out already.The makeup and smallish nose are the only things you could call feminine about this mug.
