Do you tend to prefer the comic styled figures over movie figures or vice versa?

Just promise to make Dark Flash in another wave then when the movie comes out and nobody cares just never make him. I don’t understand why Todd can’t think of a way out of making products that harm his brand’s image and make stores hesitant to stock his product like Dark Flash. Even the studio has to know nobody is going to want an action figure that looks like Burnt Shit Man

I guess if Todd can survive Black Adam he can survive Flash, I just don’t know why he’d agree to be bent over and fucked in the ass like that when with some a little negotiation he could work out a softer deal that doesn’t involve him wasting time and money on Dark Flash

heat them up a bit with a hairdryer

Why did Flash figures sell so well even though they actually look worse than the Black Adam figures? It seems like there's actually hype around the movie or something which doesn't make sense for a few different reasons.

Meanwhile weirdly Shazam 2 just flies under the radar when it comes to figures. The Shazamrangers wouldnt have made good figures anyway I guess, feels Eternalsesque.

It's about the fourth most popular justice league member, its a time travel plot which usually tend to be janky, the trailers just show random action but no sense of coherence, Zod brought back, Supergirl introed, multiple Batmen, multiple Flashes, its got all the makings of something that will make no sense unless written extremely smart.

•unpopular franchise that is getting rebooted

Saying you can't bring up that its being rebooted is like saying you can't bring up that shit tastes like shit when saying why you wouldn't want to eat shit

I think it's unfair to bring up the actor's drama, but people worship celebrities and go to see movies just because they're in the movies. So... ezra's drama is relevant too.

>>10329745
>Why did Flash figures sell so well even though they actually look worse than the Black Adam figures?
What's selling well?
Seems like most of what's selling is everything that revolves around Burton's Batman.
And people will react more positive toward Flash because he's been a prominent DC character in the media for decades. Who's Black Adam? Even in comic-dom, he's never really had self sustaining comic series.

Not really, though. It's so soft and lifeless. Look at how sharp and dynamic Kenner's is. Even the wife stance is sculpted to give a 5-pos some life. Look at the details in the face.

The problem with NECA's retro attempts (and reAction shit) is that they deliberately sculpt poorly to try to emulate old limits, while Kenner sculpted the SHIT out of their stuff to try to exceed those limits.

Yes really, though. The neca has that same sharpness to the sculpt. So you are wrong.

Ignore the trolls dawg. I'm pickin up what you're putting down. In addition to failing to realize what made the Kenners great, their design is just kinda ugly. It's not cool looking, colors and detailing are super bland, and the placement/distribution of the dreads plus the lack of brow ridges make him look like he's a balding man.

Nah, I know the leaks and you realize they actually had the opportunity to hire Marvel directors and they fired them
The idea of a tragedy plot for Barry going insane was Ezra's idea, it was something he worked on with Grant Morrison
Basically Ezra's 5 year contract was about to expire in 2019, but he didn't like what the old directors (Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley) were creating, thought it was too Marvel-lite, so he wrote something with Grant Morrison, and basically the studio sided with Ezra, fired those directors, and brought on Muschietti as a comprise between the two takes

Not a chance
Except for the Batman every DC movie in the last ten years has been at best miserable dogshit at worst outright offensive
Now they’re trying to copy Marvel half a decade after Endgame came out
People are only interested to see Keaton as Batman
>>
Superman was always my favorite character, in high school I was known as the kid with the Superman shirt. I LOVED that character but when Man of Steel came out and he killed Zod I knew they were taking Superman somewhere strange and it killed my interest in him. Then the next movie came out and he was a mopey bitch for two hours until a cave troll stabbed him in the chest. I haven’t read a comic in years, I don’t give a fuck how WB is wiping their asses with him or any of the other characters in the movies.
I like the toys of him in his classic costume with the red trunks because it doesn’t have anything to do with the shit they’ve done to him in the last decade. He’s still Superman, the perfect big blue boy scout.
I still want to like him and read comics and get excited for movies but WB/DC have been so lost for so long I don’t think they’ll ever give me the Superman I want.
Maybe things will get better when he goes public domain.
>>
I took a look at some of the 2020 figures recently and some of them really had significant articulation limitations, feels like they were learning on the fly. It probably cost them some sales given people had a first sampling of the line that was flawed and might never buy a newer figure

For once I'm hoping McFarlane does a gold label with an alternate younger-looking head because this one came out absolutely busted. Kon looks like Superman's alcoholic older brother.
>>
>>10333095
>Maybe things will get better when he goes public domain.
Won't be long now, same with Batman. But this only applies to their original 1930s versions, and those side-characters. And knowing WB/DC, they'll probably think of some technical fuckery that allows them to retain the ip.
>>
So I don't like the look of the McFarlane Keaton Batman for the Batmobile. He's not something I want to spend 100 or so on from some other line though. Not that I don't spend that much on some figures, it just depends on what my favorites are. Would a bootleg neca Keaton bats work?
>>
>>10333474
If you can find one, yeah, it's definitely a better looking Keaton Bats.
>>
>>10333476
It really annoys me that a bootleg has a better likeness to Keaton than McFarlanes upcoming one. I don't really want to just grab the bootleg since it seems subpar, but if I just want something that at least vaguely resembles Keaton it may be the only option outside of really well made expensive figures. I could always try painting a 3d printed head. I just lack any sort of painting skill whatsoever.
>>
>>10333474
If you can find one it should work. I am planning on pairing ku authentic NECA Keaton with the McFarlane Batmobile.
>>
>>10333486
The 12 inch Spinmaster Batman has a better Keaton likeness lol.
>>
>>10331973
Sucker. This is why they do shit like this, because retards like you lap it up.

>>10332479
i've been watching some stuff for the past few days. i saw batman v superman in theaters but zoned out during some of it and completely forgot how it went. except i remembered really liking this take on batman and him using guns and killing people. so been rewatching it. it helps that for some reason i have a new found love of superman who i had previously never cared about my entire life. it mostly happened when i found out about Overman Superman which really got me interested in the character.

i'm going to watch the snyder cut of justice league, which i've never seen it or the regular version. i saw shazam the past month and it was surpassingly good. gonna rewatch man of steel too. not sure if i ever saw the whole movie. skipping everything else.
>>
>>10333133
That is the more modern look
>>
>>10333474
Bootleg neca paint tends to be worse and given the bootleg status could contain dangerous chemicals since bootlegs are operating unregulated
>>
>>10333548
Snyder cut is definitely the version of Justice League to watch even though its 4 hours and 4:3. It's far more coherent and each character gets their own development and subplots, especially Cyborg who was really neglected in the theatrical version. I'd say the Snyder cut is more logical in its story than BvS was, which is not what I was expecting going in. Probably cutting these movies down to 2 or 2:30 really guts some of the points that justify what is happening. (Although one could say, write a shorter plot in the first place I suppose.)
>>
>>10333574
Are there any good looking Keaton Batman figs that hover around 50 that'd work in the upcoming Batmobile? As of right now I'll be grabbing McFarlane version and getting an alt head to paint which after shipping will be about 40 total. A bit more cash for something flat out better is acceptable to me.
>>
>>10333618
I mostly watch movies in pieces these days anyways so it could be 8 hours long and it wouldn't bother me lol

Not aware of any but others might be.

The more I look at the masked McFarlane Keaton Batman the more the chin does look somewhat like Keaton, just Keaton now rather than Keaton then or in caricature. Like with some other figures in both DCMV and MLs, it may not be the sculpt that is bad, it may just be the flat paint job that is not bringing out any detail. I'd check in hand pics when they become available too to see if its necessary to get an alt head. It might be able to be touched up with a better, more varied paint job to look more like him. But would probably require decent customizing skills or a tutorial. Given the high profile of Keaton that might get made by someone though, and its a rather small part of the figure, although one where the proper blending of the colors of the paint will be the biggest challenge.
>>
>>10333695
Also, however, it might be risky customizing this figure directly (rather than just popping on an alt head) given it may get rare though, depending on how many they made.
>>
>>10333695
>>10333710
My painting skills are zero so touching up the head wouldn't look right. At least from me. Have his figures had poor looking paint prior to release only to look good in hand? Speaking of paint what would be good for painting the belt yellow? The few times I've tried painting things even with some mod podge it's too easy to rub off. Anything that would dry into an almost hard plastic?
>>
>>10333695
I wonder if blacking out the visible nose would help the look any.
>>
Are the other Green Lantern figures decent? The only Hal I can find of the McFarlane series looks weird and both John Stewart's look strange too
>>
>>10333796
If by strange you mean they don't wear plain Marvel Legends spandex then you'll get no normal Green Lanterns out of here. If you mean their faces look weird then ___
>>
>>10333732
Some figures look worse in the white background pics because they are taken in harsh lighting which can bring out flaws that aren't noticeable in normal indoor lighting. Example: Black Adam Rock looks better in hand to me than in their white bg pics.

On the other hand, figures taken with the diorama backgrounds have photoshopping and favorable lighting and tend to look better than in hand in a lot of cases.

So if I cant see in-hand pics before buying (like when something sells out fast like Keaton) I go off the white background so I can see the worst case scenario and see if that is still acceptable, potentially assuming it may look at bit better in normal indoor lighting.

-

As far as painting, the only McFarlanes I've customized I've used DecoArt acryllic paint. If anything, it seemed to adhere so fast I had to wash off any mistakes very quickly or it'd be difficult to get off.

That said I don't know about long term cracking as they have not had the paint on them long term, and I don't tend to handle my figures a ton, mostly just a few pose changes, nothing drastic. So your use-case may be different, especially if you're painting a part like the diaper of the figure that will get a lot of flexing. I'd be concerned about possible cracking there and would seek out custom vids specifically for McFarlanes to see what kind of paint would be best for the flexible diapers.

Also may be obvious, but I've read with acryllic it still should be set aside for a day or 2 after you're done to dry even if it seems dry.

And needless to say don't use oil paint for beginner customizing on figures. That's the only case I can think of where the stuff would rub right off without a lot of handling.

As far as anything drying into an 'almost hard plastic' I doubt it or I have not heard of anything doing that. The plastic will still feel like the consistency of hard or soft they selected when they made it at the factory, it will just have a layer of paint over it.
>>
It sucks that people are so desperate for a Michael Keaton release that they're willing to stop to the McFarlane that doesn't even have the right costume, let alone look like the actor. A shame. At least we're getting a cool Batmoble.
>>
>>10334030
If there were other options that aren't 100+ I'd not so much as look at McFarlane version. I've heard people say the Ledger Joker doesn't look exactly but from photos I've seen it looks close enough to me to be worth it. Keaton should have been the same.
>>
>>10334037
Wild how the NECA is still the best looking one after all this time. Shame it goes for so much nowadays.
>>
>>10333474
I think he works good enough honestly, especially if you can close the windshield.
>>
>>10334207
Now why does the bottom face look better than the top? I wouldn't say it looks like Keaton but at least it looks like there's some sculpt to it.
>>
>>10334030
>that doesn't even have the right costume
It's the one from the flash movie. that's the source they're going off of, not your nostalgiafap preferred suits.
>>
>>10334232
Because the shadowing is bringing out details that one cannot see in bright lighting and they are not accented by the paint as they would be on a more expensive release.
>>
>>10334232
Because viewing angles matter, but also, most of these figures look different than their photography in person.

But we're getting so many...great..Ezra Millers...

>>10334030
It is the right costume as it pertains to the Flash movie. And the likeness is obviously Keaton.
But I suspect the Batfleck figure was based on some concept art, and not his likeness.
There was a lot of uncertainty on whether this movie would even be released early on, and I'm guessing that might've been a factor.
>>
>>10334291
The suit was redesigned for the flash movie
>>
>>10334301
I guess I'm just not seeing Keaton in McFarlanes version. The more child oriented toys seem to capture Keaton's likeness a lot better.
>>
>>10334272
I bought this, it’s actually pretty cool
>>
>>10334030
I actually don't mind that it doesn't look like Keaton a ton. They always overdo his lips when it comes to toys

You think that 27 inch Spinmaster Batwing will eventually go on clearance or will it be impossible to get like the McFarlane Batmobile? I kinda want but not enough to grab one at 40.

I sort of want the McFarlane Batcycle from the movie cause it seems like it could be a cool tech sort of bike for any figure line but only if it goes on sale.

It really depends on the figure. The Justice League ones for example were pretty accurate, but the new Affleck doesn't look like himself at all.
It's either a licensing thing, or they just didn't care enough for a 5 minute cameo.

They can be spot on just like Hasbro, but not as frequent. So they have two or three god tier sculptors.

Stuff like their Game of Thrones figures gave me goose bumps, like I'm looking at the actor from far away.

Right?

The bad head painting doesn't erase the very precise sculpting of this guy and his pals.
Which was possible because for BVS and JL they scanned the actors on suit for the merch.

With The Flash it looks like they had to work around the concept art just like Hasbro does with MCU.

AquaMomoa was the only one with a head that was bad because of both painting and sculpt
