Would you pay a hundred bucks for a figure with giant white seams like this?
This is what to expect from a standard legacy release
>>11917746>>11917748this is really bad
>>11917738>No wrinklesWhat
>>11917748DC Legacy $24.99
>>11917746I'm not paying 100 just for this figure now am I
>>11917749Nah
VF put on your trip I know its you.
>>11917750Where are the wrinkles? That’s muscle definition.
After months of artificial hype all they have to show is a $100 McFarlane knock-off with a Fischer Price playset?
Yeah okay that's really gay. When's Todd's next wave of pre-orders?
>>11917761Right here baby
Anyone find a stream to the afternoon DC panel? It should have happened already.
According to Ozer the hush set will ship by January 1st
>>11917762Looks perfect.
According to Kyle some cape WILL BE PLASTIC
>>11917750the HUSH figure is a unique sculpt. No the same they are using for the regular figures.
>>11917774oh. that looks like Todd's sculpting and the old DC Icons line had a baby. I dont think I like that. I wish we moved away from the soft waist like Todd used.
>>11917749What are you talking about, that looks fucking awesome. Little heavy on the shading for my taste, but sculpt-wise it's fantastic.I bought the earlier black cape Hush Bats from McFarlane and was recently debating buying the recent blue cape one just for the wired cape, now I'm just gonna wait for the regular release of this figure.I'm curious to see what they do with Superman, will they also go Hush or will it be a more evergreen design? I hope they go for more of a John Byrne look, or Dan Mora.
The toytubers are upstairs
>>11917777My two grips are the diaper instead of a solid piece and the cuts not being clean
>>11917746>already wrestling with the diaper
Valley Forge is so mad right now
>>11917785Yup
>>11917759But anon, they're pinkie promising it'll cost 3 dollars less than Marvel Legends!!
this being a figure locked behind $100 web exclusive that won't ship for over a year is just unacceptable.besides that I can't stand toe joints and soft goods. I'm always worried they'll topple forward and the cape will collect dust like as motherfucker.
>>11917788Stay mad
Kinda bullshit we didn't see their take on any live action looks
>>11917785Nah I always said I was done collecting DC stuff when Todd stops releasing figures, and it's because I knew this is what Mattel's stuff would look like. They're even showing off the blank buck they're going to use for the line lmaoI'll pick up a Power Girl or Phantom Lady, but I hate everything about Mattel's proportions and aesthetics, there's some kind of greasy pleading desperation their stuff has that I find inherently repulsive.Blokees is really exciting though, if Catwoman is fun to put together I'll come back for all their DC releases.
>>11917792Ships by January 1stThere will be a single release You don’t have to buy itShut the fuck up already
We're finally free from Todd!!!!
>>11917797Then leave you annoying faggot
>>11917793I love that cape placement, I want more Batman figures with capes close to the front. One day cape tech will be easy and cheap enough that regular figure releases will be able to do picrel.
>>11917802Nah Todd still has two months left and I've been blowing like $300+ a month on DC Multiverse with the expectation he's been saving the best for last.
>>11917746lol, making it thrust its crotch because that's the highest step he can climb.
>>11917806>with the expectation he's been saving the best for lastLOL
>>11917774>Single hinge wristsObjectively trash, 0 stars.
>>11917797>>11917806Based, always love seeing your displays.
>>11917797>>11917806>I was done collecting DC stuff when Todd stops releasing figuresYou better not show up in DC generals after January first.
>>11917762Mcshitlanes final release? Rest in piss.
>>11917808Maybe not, but Saturn Girl was a stealth release so I'm still holding out for Phantom Lady randomly showing up on ebay someday.>>11917810Thanks. Right now it's pretty minimal. I'm trying to do a Halloween theme with a phantom, demons, a witch, a black cat, etc. Most of the figures are put away but I'll go through them tomorrow to really lock in on spooky stuff.>>11917813Oh I'm going to be making dios for the DC shelf for the rest of my life. Even if I stop buying new figures, I'll still be here to laugh at anons buying $100 Batman playsets.
>>11917813can't wait for him to start spamming mcfarlane generals come jan
Hips are drop down btw
>>11917746whys it look soooooo limited? He's struggling to lift the leg that high. I think a lot of the joints wont move well once you try to put him in poses.
>>11917817i fucking hate mcshartlane i think i got like 40 of them sitting in a big plastic box i'm waiting to give away but you are unironically one of the most soulful posters on this board god bless you
>>11917820Whoever posed him must be an intern because they didn’t even use the drop downs.
All the head from each line will be compatible
>>11917824I dont think this one has drop down hips. They may be talking about the body they're using for the other figs that will have drop downs.
>>11917748so same bodies/articulation? So what is the difference between legacy and ultimate more accessories?
>>11917828Hush has drop downs
>>11917832Yes and maybe better capes
>>11917823Yeah McFarlanes aren't perfect but the line got me into collecting toys so it'll always be a first love of sorts, with all the bittersweet highs and lows. Why did you buy 40 McFarlanes if you hate them?
>>11917792>I can’t stand toe jointsRetard
>>11917798>Ships by January 1stsite says "Ships on or before April 9, 2027"
>>11917820He has a ball waist that can barely crunch and legs that go 90.Shoulders pretty limited tooPretty lame
>>11917843Yeah Mattel. You show Hasbro! Give us even less useful joints!
i told you people that mattel would only let you down and nobody listened. fools and newfags everywhere on this board
>>11917744Where are these prices coming from?
mattel DC PREMIUM (standard)Toe articlationAnkle rockDouble kneeThighDropdown hips.Torso ballMid torso ballButterflysBall shoulderDouble elbow.Wrist sunken hinge/swivel.Heads are interchangeable between the core and premiums
>>11917849mattel DC ULTIMATES!Wired capes.34poa plus or minus.Extra AccessoriesParts/Pieces Dios added.
>>11917819Why does everybody make drop downs now when it's totally unnecessary?
>>11917848out of thin air but also the price structure of the virtually identical mattel wwe line
>>11917846i'mm pretty fucking hyped, i'm gonna finally start collecting domestic DC lines, no more waiting on fucking mafex for my JL
>rubber diaper
>>11917746I already have >>11917629 so nah. I don't think it's terribly overpriced though, $80 would've been more fair imo, but it does have lights and that water vapor gimmick. I don't think it's terrible in today's prices.
>>11917846How are those sour grapes?
>>11917792>>11917798The website says it'll ship in April, which to be fair isn't a year away, but still. Also this will absolutely be single carded at some point.
>>11917854All aboard the slop train consoomer
>>11917739Neat.
>>11917846I dunno, I'm pretty happy with how it looks. I won't be getting it, but I'm excited for other figures.
>>11917861what are you even talking about? other than being pinless nothing about this is an improvement*. it's exactly what was expected, and in some cases worse. *marvel legends scalefags mean nothing to me
>>11917865Honestly looks really high quality, $100 isn’t bad at all.
>>11917865>make your soft goods wet only from mattel
why are his abs lop-sided in every shot? its literally sculpted crooked
>>11917865The diorama is pretty sweet on its own, but that steam feature is fucking wicked.
>>11917865we don't need this
>>11917866as a long-time dc collector im sure i'll end up with a bunch but all the people acting like it was going to be the greatest thing in the history of dc toys either have to lie or accept the flaws. and since it's mattel, things will only get worse.
>>11917762todd humiliation
>>11917871I don't think I've ever seen a con display or a promo photo from a western toy company that wasn't posed weirdly.
>>11917874well, yeah that's why it's an exclusive and not mass retail release.
>>11917874Fun fact bitch tits, you don't NEED any of this. And no one is forcing you to buy this set if you don't want to. You guys are all acting like this is standard when they said it literally isn't, and that you're being forced at gunpoint to buy it. Cut it out. Don't like it don't buy it. I think it's pretty cool and nicely done, but I already have a Hush Batman with a rooftop diorama all set so it's a skip for me, but you don't see me getting all pissy because they did something I already have.
>>11917875Honestly, outside of imports, it's the best we've gotten for DC figures. Certainly better than the Toddslop we've been forced to eat for the past 6 years.
>>11917874Sounds like you do
>>11917883>well, yeah that's why it's an exclusivethis just reminded me of the dude in a previous thread who was adamant that it wouldn't be an exclusive mattel LOVES exclusives.
>>11917823Why are you replying to yourself? You know nobody is falling for this, right?
>>11917885and that todd slop was better than anything served up domestically before it, and in some cases, better than mattel (wrist/ankle articulation). even the diaper you people screamed about for years is still there lmao
>>11917884>>11917883fuck off both of you. if I wanted to get an opinion of the batman figure that will start a collectible line then I shouldn't be expected to fork over a premium for some bullshit diorama. it's Mattel who didn't have to do this.this thing is a scam and you're all sheep. die.
>>11917792>this being a figure locked behind $100 web exclusiveit's fucking Batman, they're gonna release it standalone
>>11917885Exactly. This Mattel stuff looks as mid as Hasbro's ML has been. Maybe even worse since the articulation on Hush Batman isn't very good. But even Hasbro level or slightly worse than that is still better than McFarlane stuff that was like a decade behind the times. McFarlane didn't even have pinless joints which has been the industry standard for many years now
>>11917894marvel legends still have pins and the articulation is worse than mcfarlane. you people have no toys.
>>11917746The face sculpt is a miss and I wish the knees were better but it's otherwise exactly what I expected.
I get the feeling that these DC figures are probably gonna adapt the MOTU stuff, just that this was in development by a different team.
>>11917874I need this.
>>11917891This thing doesn't ship out until April apparently. The mass retail stuff will be hitting before that. Stop being such a fuckin big fat baby
>>11917900it's nearly identical to the wwe ultimate line
>>11917901
>>11917888you are a schizo
>>11917903a man can dream
>>11917894Todd clinging on to pins and not upgrading to face printing is why I didn't collect much of his DC line. Also the diapers, god I hated those diapers on figs that couldn't hide it with a belt. And the realism body propotions he put on Knightfall Catwoman. i'll never forgive him for making it look like a 40yr old cosplayer.
>>11917780This was a special invite only behind closed doors showcase. Fortunately one of my friends was in there. You ready to *yawn* ?>Standard Hush Batman>Ultimate Hush Batman>Black Hush Batman Repaint>Ultimate Peacemaker>Absolute Batman>Absolute Catwoman>Hush Superman>Lobo w Bike Comic Based>KO Flash
>>11917913I believe you because I heard the same thing
>>11917843Based
>>11917913No way they open with 4 Batmans in one wave. Even Todd would side eye that.
>>11917902good thing I'm a rational human being and didn't fall for the scam. worse yet are the sheep defending this.
>>11917919
>>11917895How many ML have pins still? 25%? But usually only some parts of the figure and not all the limbs. How many of Todd's figs? 100%
>>11917922No, but you'll get irrationally upset at something literally no one is forcing you to buy. I don't think that's exactly rational.
>>11917909Chronicles isn't that great anyway, is it? A little better than this but from what I've seen they aren't that special in terms of articulation range. I've never handled on but I watched a few videos.
>>11917920That’s not all one wave, that’s what they had on display. This is what they are launching with.
>>11917922>good thing I'm a rational human beingOh the irony
>>11917902Steve ozer himself has said in multiple interviews today it’ll ship January 1st
>>11917925I knew it looked too lanky. the legs are coming out of the crotch and not the pelvis
>>11917925lol>>11917919lol>>11917843lmao
So, is that it? I wasn't expecting a lot, but just one Batman and a cool, if small rooftop after all this build up?
>>11917935Drop downsropdowns
>>11917931for what they are they're good, they also adapted the import style of a ball peg thats in the arm and hands just have holes and they have dropdown knees, they just feel a bit better than this batman
>>11917849>listing articulation pointsWhat are you even doing? Why is it so important for you to defend this Mattslop?
>>11917762If this is real and not AI generated, top kek>>11917942Rather underwhelming. They should've just waited to have more to show than this.
Mattel really debuting this line with scalper bait at retarded prices?I miss Todd already.
>>11917762I don't know why but those massive elbow joints are killing me
Been real faggots. I’m happy so I won. Have fun talking to yourself Jarret you faggot ass limp wristed sperg ass dumb pale nigger.
apologize
>>11917859Looks like Mattel just let Todd get the license, just watched what Todd did, took notes, then grabbed the license back, copied everything good and went the Marvel Legends route for everything else.
>>11917865Sadly...fucking sick as fuck
>>11917952They still have no clue how real humans look or move. Nothing's changed.
>>11917865This is so fucking cool, I kinda want this to use in photos
>>11917956>paying $100 for a fog machine that comes with a doll with soft clothesIt's going to grow mold after the first use and spread the spores over the rest of your collection. It's the equivalent of squirting your collection with a water bottle.
>>11917955Neither does anyone who makes domestic lines desu
>everyone who buys that set is going to make their dolls reek of damp moldI bought ten today. Everyone here should buy at least one and keep it right next to their computer.
>>11917961That's not true at all. Water vapour will evaporate almost instantly, and unless your house is a fucking swamp everything will dry out fine, even if you did spray your collection with water.
>>11917956>100$ for a fart cloudill save you the hassle just get this
>>11917964No it's soaking a piece of fabric with vapor and it'll get into the figure where it meets the plastic. Long term, you're looking at water stain damage on the cape and black mold growing in the nooks of the rooftop.
Yo matt show us the batmobiles we're starving down here
>We got to take a look at what’s coming in January and I think people are going to be very satisfied with what Mattel has to offer.
>>11917967Just like a real roof. Nice.
>>11917967You're so fucking stupid, it's not SOAKING anything. There's not enough vapor coming out to do that!
>>11917969I am. You keep spamming the thread with troll posts
>>11917970Get one to keep by your computer and an extra to put next to your bed.>>11917971It's literally billowing out huge clouds of water vapor. They're probably changing the cardboard back display every couple hours at the show because it keeps sagging.
>>11917944The wrists are a nice change. I just think people are exaggerating the quality difference when they mention Chronicles having "import joints" when the knees look like pic related and the torsos and "butterfly" joints barely move. They're still Mattel.
>>11917974how many displays do you think they burned through?
>>11917965thats why I said kinda, I still think the actual base looks really good and it would be useful in photos, but I am unsure on the price personally, but it is a cool diorama
>>11917977How did they manage to get the head sculpt so wrong
>>11917982That’s hasbro for you
Looks pretty fucking cool to me
>>11917984Post the articulation one
>>11917975oh absolutely, but it's a step up and it's a bit disapointing that the dc figures aren't like this at baseline
>>11917983Hasbro didn't get anything wrong
>>11917977that batarang looks ai generated lmao
>>11917984Look at all those tasty vapors seeping into the cloth. Imagine what adding a little bit of dust over time and all that steam would do to a collection.
>>11917977>Hi, I'm a Marvel>and I'm a DC
>>11917984>they moved the cardboard displays back to stop them from warpingoh man
>>11917984that poor cape is going to start curling in like a week
This board really is full of schizos
>>11917748>>11917746This looks way better than I expected too bad rightoids ruined the economy and all toys are overpriced now
>>11917993gonna get moldy real fast if you keep using the fogger at least
>>11917746Have they shown his backside yet? For $100 he better have a nice ass. Also the lack of a boot cut is disappointing
>>11917950No
>>11917998imagine the smell
>>11917977Did Dan Who just cum in his pants?
>>11917998I'm not worried, I'll just get a dehydrator.
>>11917975MOTU gets all, DC gets nothing
mmh nice steamy leak quite pungent
>>11917977>ML collectors are going to fellate these figures because they're just as shit as theirsalready seeing people try to justify fog you can barely see costing $70
>>11917977Is Max Spidey that short (like college Peter rather than adult) or is Batman too tall?
Dude I’m done here. This faggot is a mod so reporting him will never work. I hope your parents kick you out.
>>11918007Mattel's "all" is still kind of sad.
>>11918011
>>11918010Bruce is a tall guy and Peter is not supposed to be that tall. The scale works perfect.
>>11917975this body looks better than the batman holy fuck pissttel what is your problem
>>11917967Firstly you don't have to put the cape right against the water vapour if you're that paranoid, secondly the only way it would soak the cape is if you pressed it right against the vapour and then left it there running for hours on end. And even if it did soak the cape, all you need to do is move it to a dry environment and let the water evaporate off, as for where the cape meets the plastic, the absorbent nature of the fabric will wick water away from the plastic and spread it through the rest of the cape where it will dry out.For mould to grow you would need to keep the figure in a warm, moist environment 24/7.And if you're that fucking paranoid about all of that, then simply don't use the vapour feature, or just wait for the single release that doesn't come with the rooftop.
>>11918010Spidey is supposed to be a manlet, Bruce is a 6'4" gigachad
>>11918020The Hush Batman body looks ok, just doesn't articulate well. The other body they're using for the other figures look ass compared to the MOTU Chronicles ones tho
>>11918021I won't be buying one because 1. the price is absurd 2. I don't bring mold makers into my home, let alone put it in the middle of my collection
when does matty's moldy batman playset ship? I need to know when it's no longer safe to buy secondhand figures because they might have been contaminated
Shoutout to the retard from the last thread that doesn’t understand how smoke detectors work
>>11918028Eeeey
These were on Instagram. They look too real to be AI-gen and there's also video capture. >https://www.instagram.com/thep3pod/

>>11918026>Oh no I'm gonna spout bullshit so I can complain about the thing I have no intention of ever buying.Also mould spores are literally everywhere, you're breathing the spores in right now, the only thing that causes them to propagate is warmth and moisture, a toy with a small vaporiser is not going to be adding enough moisture to create mould in your house unless it's already dank as fuck. You wanna keep it from happening? Open a fucking window once in a while.
Earth 2 Superman
>>11918056hahahahaha what the fuuuuuuck
Absolute Flash
Absolute Catwoman
>>11918044I just hope they make the cape drape closer to center of his chest on the inevitable classic look figure. that pic looks more like hes wearing a bath towel over his shoulders than a cape
>>11918044>That Bat symbol>Those belt canisters>The coloursYep, somebody at Mattel is a Dan Mora fan. I already suspected that based on the Core Robin figure.
Wonder Woman
>>11918064It's literally just his current suit in the comics, all the artists are drawing it that way.
>Build a figuresbarf
I think these are real, I'm seeing more and more people reposting them on IG. If true, there is a LOT less paint on these than on the Hush Batman. I won't lie, these don't look quite as good. Like the belts on Batman and Robin look really cheap.
>>11918062Why does the loose one have cleavage on display, but the boxed one doesn't? Also where is the alternate head in the box?
>>11918044Why is the stick flesh toned
Absolute Batman>>11918069It's two figures.
>>11918068Yeah it's almost like Mattel, a cheap and lazy toy company that makes products for children, doesn't know how to make toys for adults. Craaaaaazy.
>>11918069Either its AI or you know who
>>11918066Fair enough, I like the symbol design, not sure how I feel about it being blue/having blue highlights.
Classic Hal and Black Lightning.
>>11918075I'm not a huge fan of the highlight myself, but It's minimal so I'd live with it. I do want a figure of that costume, I dig the colors, but I won't lie, this is looking kinda weak to me.
>>11918065You know this line is fucked when HASBLO of all companies can make a better amazon than whatever the hell this is suppose to be.
Absolute Hawkman
>>11918076These do not look good.
>>11918056This looks like a bad custom. Why does it have the coloring of a child's toy? Who sculpted his head?
>>11918076That's modern Hal technically. The Classic suit has the green extend all the way down his crotch whereas the modern costume stops at the belt line.
Im so happy right now. Eat my shit Jarret.
>>11918078yup. it's over
>>11918081People like bright colors now. Marvel Legends are all bright now, rather than darker with some level of paint washes. Look at the old Mysterio in the 2010s that they are re-releasing now vs the Spider-Man TAS Mysterio. Or look at the new Lizard Deluxe reissue vs the Dino-Lizard BAF original. Everything is brighter now.
>>11918044Instagram page was taken down. Guess it was an embargo thing.
>>11918083im sure he'll really really super for real go away this time>>11918056got a price yet?
>>11918044Niiice
>>11918068>>11918077>there is a LOT less paint on these than on the Hush Batman.Personally I prefer the lack of paint. I know a lot of anons like the premium feel of painted figures, but to me it just translates to a lot of scuffing potential. In fact if that Bat symbol is a black insert with blue paint, I might just strip the blue off.
>>11918072Let me guess: loose cleavage is $35. Regular shitty ver is $25.
>>11918044YES!
>>11918089>Personally I prefer the lack of paint.How do I get in as a viral marketer at Mattel?
>>11918053He looks really gross
these all look bad. They look so childish and don't have detailed paint jobs or sculpting except for the Absolute ones.
Todd McFarlane wins by doing nothing
biggest toy flop in history
>>11918085most Hasbro figures have more sculpted details that add some natural shadows. Even the common bucks they use. The classic looking figs here look so bare bones and free of any detail.
He’s really having an episode today
>>11917977baby arm batman
>>11918076nice I've never had black lightning before.
All-in Flash
>>11918093Fuck you, I'm allowed to have a preference. Paint scuffing sucks ass. I'd rather have my toys look like toys than pay out the whazoo for fancy paint that will get ruined by a bad shelf dive, or in some cases just moving the fucking joints.
>>11918111>please tard-proof my toys for me at the expense of everyone elseNo, fuck you.
>>11918065We wom
>>11918113NTA but holy shit you're autistic as fuck if you can't understand someone having a different perspective than you.
>Todd winsnot even surprised, DCUC was garbage
>>11918121we all knew it was going to be like this
>>11918113Eat shit, the Mattel figures ALL look good, don't even like the Absolute designs and I can say that. I want superheroes to have bright colours, I want them to pop on the shelf and I want to play around with them without need to treat them with kid gloves. You want the extra paint, you want the dark colours and shading, stick with Mafex.
>>11918063>>11918064It's Matt Fraction/Jorge Jiminez Batman aka the current mainline Batman designWe'd be fucking blessed if they actually made DC figs based off Dan Mora's art.
>>11918116I dont know if you can tell but there's a fuckton of disengenious shitposting going on from shutters and Jarret right now so they might not even believe what they're saying (not the paint scuff dislike guy the other guys)
>>11918125>We'd be fucking blessed if they actually made DC figs based off Dan Mora's artAll I want
>>11918056Yikes! It's Soobermun!
>>11918124>>11918021Why is this dumbass foreigner replying to people with aggressively dogshit opinions and misinformation?
>>11918076Not classic, it's a modern design but close enough. Classic Hal has a leotard suit design and black shoulders.Glad I didn't cave and buy the shitty Mr Freeze 3 pack.
>>11918124nta the only one I dont really like is Superman's facesculpt but I probably got spoiled by that Inart one. Everything else looks fine. I want Hal the most right now because I dont care about Absolute but I heard its popular so it's a good idea and the designs are cool so I hope it does well. I think starting with that shaded batman exclusive may have got people's hopes up for them all being like that but oh well
Everything looks good but>single-hinge wristsFucking why??? They solved this shit with He-Man, and it's one of the smoothest ball-joint wrists I've handled too. Genuinely don't understand the decision-making process on this.
>>11918131Don't forget, that's supposed to Earth 2 Superman who's a bit older than the Earth 1 Superman.
>>11918076Are they BAF? They both have weird purple and yellow pieces in their packaging.>Earth 2 supermanOh it's moniter huh?
>>11918108Well, you know what they say
>>11918048>>11918135Mongul BAF
>>11918074This image is for artists that do nsfw art not for toy companies not making coomer figs
>>11918095He's kinda meant to be. It's just a shame no one's willing to go all the way like pic-rel especially when Absolute Bane's draw is how grotesque he looks when transformed to the point his muscles grow over the tubes themselves.
>>11918124>hastard thinks legend-tiered mattelslop looks goodwho woulda thunk it
>>11918137Oh okay didn't see that, it's not a classic mongul so whatever
>>11918138it literally applies to everything
>>11918140You have serious mental problems
>>11918132Right? Didn't the collector's line have ball ankles, too? Missed a trick with these bullshit, single-axis joints.
>>11918131>the only one I dont really like is Superman's facesculptI think the hair isn't big enough to balance out the jaw which doesn't look as sharp as the artwork, but that also might be the lighting and the lens. The premier Superman also has a very prominent jaw (quite Schwarzenegger-esque) but the hair helps square the head and balance it. If we're lucky then the neck balls will be the same and you can just switch them. Though I'm sure Mattel will release another Superman with a different head later on anyway.
>>11918049>Black Suit SupermanWhat even is this based off? Is it just an OC Superman design? Regeneration suit Superman had a mullet and no capeWhere's the classic vanilla Superman?
>>11918123anyone who has been around long enough did, but plenty of idiots thought it would be better than this crap. their kids line is better, relative to pricing.
>>11918129Because I'm smarter than them, and you.
There’s two absolute cat womans and they are both in the legacy line meaning the same price point
>>11918056jesus
>>11918145Now that we've seen the more premium lines these look super fucking ugly.
>>11918148>Where's the classic vanilla Superman?>get earth 2>put core head onDone
>>11918150>the anon who doesn't understand how mold works is the same anon who wants unpainted plasticMold is a helluva drug.
>>11918154Still great for $12.99 figures for kids
>>11918136Once you get hit by lightning you are in for a sting?
>>11918155I guess but the symbol for Earth 2 Superman is different than Earth 1 Superman
>>11918154they always did. it was only you talking about them
>>11918144Yep balljoint ankles too. Just a real shame they'd go back to standardized ML articulation like that after Chronicles He-Man seemingly broke new ground for them.
The build a figures are fucking huge
>>11918053>>11918060>>11918062>>11918070>>11918072>Absolute trashThey sure know how to start a line with garbage.
>>11918148Fuck ZS for making casuals think black suit Superman is a thing like symbiote suit Spidey.
>>11918148>Regeneration suit Superman had a mulletGod damn I want a Superman with the long hair.
>>11918171Todd made like five of those.
>>11918167The line is starting off with a classic Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan and a classic Black Lightning. The rest of the line can be 30 Batmans, this is already a top tier launch for those three figs alone
>>11918171They’re already doing a total justice flash and reverse flash two pack. There’s a 100% chance we’re getting one.
>>11918166That Mongol in a crouched stance looks taller than the regular figures standing straight up. This feels like Toy Biz era BAFs.
>>11918124>Mattel figures ALL look goodNo, anon. These do not have the paint and shading of the $100 convention exclusive. They are failures.
Alright faggots report in what figs from those shown off are you grabbing at launch? For me it's: Wonder Woman, Black Lightning, Hal Jordan, Hush Batman and Earth 2 Superman.
Absolute is its own wave. Superman and Wonder Woman aren’t shown but are part of the wave
>>11918062Almost gives me optimism should they ever do Jim Balent Catwoman.
>>11917989the steam effect won't last more than a couple hours tops. You'd have to keep reloading the tray and run it constantly to be an issue
>>11918053>>11918062>>11918072>>11918070>>11918060Any word on which figures up the Absolute Bane BAF set? I like what I'm seeing so far but I'd sooner wish it was Absolute Alfred than Flash.
>>11918177Everything except absolute. Will return black lightning after I get the baf piece out
>>11918145Yeah, weirdly I actually prefer both the colors and headsculpt on the DC Premier Supes, so I'll keep that one for now and wait and see if they make a different one in the collector line.
>>11918182HawkmanCatwomanFlashSupermanWonder Woman Batman
>>11918177Nothing. I want nothing from them.
>>11918172Yeah, but I didn't like the way any of them looked.
>>11918182*which figures make up
>>11918178So Absolute Batman, Catwoman, Hawkman, Flash, Superman, and Wonder Woman with a BAF Bane? That's a pretty incredible wave. But given that the big 3 are all in this wave, I'd have to think that any other Absolute figures will just be one-offs in other waves. I'll definitely be getting wave 1 if that's it, will wait and see for more. Hawkman is a pretty wild choice, but I'm not mad at it. He's kind of an anti-hero, so I guess it's just him and Bane.
>>11918177For me it's definitely >Hal>Fraction Batman and Robin>on the fence about WWI'd grab Flash but I don't care for his Absolute or his DC All In costume. Maybe Black Suit Supes but meh.
Surprised that fag crying about people "shilling" blokees isn't here bitchingThe Mattel figs is all anyone here is talking about yet he's mysteriously absent to tell us we're shills
>>11918192It’s also the first wave
Classic stuff seems to be wave 2
>mattel line hasn’t even started and it’s already better than fucking McFarlane I really hate that this faggot spent more time making figures hard to get than making good figures
>>11918194That's because we already know Mattel has shills here.
>>11918187So Supes and WW are the only missing ones in the pics so far? Makes sense. Haven't properly looked into Flash and Hawkman in that verse but I would've much prefered an Absolute Alfred and Scarecrow.
>>11918196That's not classic that's Earth 2 Superman aka old man Superman
>>11918196This is disgusting
>>11918064Like others said, it just indicates that they're trying to stick closely to current comics. The original Mattel era basically started the same, but more with the four Horsemen's own interpretations of the modern costumes, before Scott Neitlich steered it to being mostly focused on 70's/80's designs with some exceptions, until the line petered out with the last few waves attempting to cover the modern Lanterns so you had a bunch of 80's era designs sticking out next to modern day Lanterns. A mess all around. Then they tried to relaunch keeping up with New 52 and later Rebirth, but the quality went even shittier.
>>11918199Killer croc has to be a baf so I imagine that’s how we'll eventually get them
>>11918184>I actually prefer both the colorsYeah, the dark blues came in toward the end of the 90s and early 00s. I go back and forth on what I prefer.
No classic Neal Adams Green Arrow no buytry again mattel
>>11918177Absolute Wave, mostly for Bane, Batman and Catwoman though WW and Supes are alright. Outside of that, the regular Wonder Woman for sure. Kinda want Hush Batman but it being Hush again is kinda killing me even if it's the quintessential 2000s era Batman. Still torn on Earth 2 Superman.
>>11918205And the quality has only gotten shittier. Even the packaging feels so artificial and lazy.
>>11918201>original super>isn’t classic
>>11917739Does Batman really need Over 9000 action figures? I know there is always a batshit insane amount of market demand for Batman toys, but isn’t the copious amounts of action figure representations of The Caped Crusader a bit excessive?
>>11918177Absolute stuffHal and WWI already ordered the Batman
>>11918215It's the same an ninja turtles at this point. So unnecessary.
>>11918166Thats how they start. Then they just get smaller and smaller
>>11918196
>>11918207Oh true. Killer Croc would definitely need a BAF wave.
>>11918215>Does Batman really need Over 9000 action figures?No but you faggots keep buying them so what do expect? Not to release so many Batmans when it's guaranteed free money?
>>11918217>>11918217>>11918217
>>11918195No boobs, no buy
>>11918223>dat neckoh no...
>>11918215It would be if more of them were good. I don't think I liked a single one McFarlane put out, and even Mafex's are middling if I'm being honest.
>>11918148>>11918169Mattel previously did something similar way back when.Superboy Prime did wear the costume like that when he was aged up for a few months so you can consider him Prime.
>>11918215I have 6 Mafex Batman, 2/3 McFarlane p, 2 LPZZ, and an Inart oneThis will not stop me from buying it or buying more
>>11918227Theres two versions one with and without tits out. Theyre both legacy so the price point should be the same
>>11918062She's got a full suit in package while the displayed figure has her chest out. The latter is more accurate, so hopefully that's what we get (unless it's a variant?).
>>11918233>Superboy PrimeKek I remember that. I might just get it in that regard.
>>11918239No it’s two different figures. You can see both packages in the pics
>>11918237Are they treated as separate releases? Kinda wish the tits out ver. was the one with the Bane BAF but if not, then they clearly know what they're doing getting people to buy two.
>>11918205>Scott NeitlichFuck that guy. Honestly I think Mattel's decline in the 2010s is entirely his fault.
I’m skipping hush and getting fraction Batman. Hopefully the blue comes off easy on the emblem
>>11918233
>>11918239two figs.
>>11918215I think it's important that there should always be a Batman on shelves, because kids will always need their first Batman toy, but I do think all the other heroes are under-represented, there should always be at least as many Superman figures as Batman, but Flash never gets enough, Green Lantern never gets enough, same with Martian Manhunter and even Wonder Woman. And those are the big names, I can probably count the amount of Question figures ever produced on the one hand.
>>11918237That tits out one has to be a red platinum variant that you can't preorder.
>>11918247No idea. Tits out has banes legs. Maybe the baf is only what we see out meaningHawkman - torsoFlash - armsBatman - headCatwoman - legsMissing piece is the waist
>>11918265>Flash never gets enough, Green Lantern never gets enough, same with Martian Manhunter and even Wonder WomanI mean there are 2 Flash here, 1 Lantern and 1 Wonder Woman already so that seems like a good sign.
>>11918271>>11918264Ok so non tits out doesnt have a build a figure piece
>>11918258He wore something similar in the early parts of the Emperor Joker storyline.
>>11918271>No idea. Tits out has banes legs. Huh. The other one is shown as part of the Bane BAF wave too >>11918062. Probably an intended variant then? I can't really imagine them packing two different Bane parts for both though that'd actually make it easier for me since I mainly want Bane.
>>11918289Tits has Bane's. NoTits has gun.
>>11918251The amount of time and energy wasted on stupid fucking shit only Scott liked in DCUC is amazing. You got some of the best sculptors in toys and DC in a pretty peak era in the mid/late 2000's before New 52 and you have them wasted on Golden Pharoah and Cyclotron. No modern Superboy(until much later), no Jason Todd Red Hood, no Miss Martian, no Batwoman, no Stephanie Brown Batgirl, no Dick Bat and Damian Robin. When we got some of those they were way shittier. At least this time they seem to be catering more to what's relevant.
>>11918289>>11918300You'd think they'd put the Bane piece with the no tits version to boost the sales. Seriously, is there anyone that would bother with the non-cleavage version when the other is available?
>>11918289Do we really want to be getting into variants again like with Todd's bullshit? If it's a variant with no way to preorder that specifically I'm not buying.
>>11918310>catering more to what's relevant.Dc itself is barely relevant sadly thats why hush (2000s) is the focus
>>11918321Absolute is outselling Marvel
>>11918226What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>11918124>Eat shit, the Mattel figures ALL look goodthey look like literal baby toys, same as the last time they had the license
>>11918316NoTits is army builder. There are many catwomen in her comics.
>>11918323willing to bet the dullest no-name manga is mogging marvel right now probably not really a great feat
>>11918317I don't like variant shit but also this >>11918300 could be the case where it's different accessories between the BAF piece vs the gun she normally comes with.>>11918316Yep. I'm surprised it's the other way around in this case.
>>11918316It seems to have the masked helmet, so that's something. Surely it isn't trading in a little submachinegun for the entirety of the baf parts.
>>11918331>There are many catwomen in her comics.Oh damn I didn't think of that but you're right. Actually neat they'd make the army builder one without the BAF piece then.
>>11918310They should have put a mandate that out of every wave at least two figures had to be modern versions of the characters. Scott getting to treat DC and MOTU as his personal playground, including re-writing MOTU lore and convincing the higher-ups that MOTU wouldn't sell at retail and should be an online exclusive, would have tanked the company if Barbie and Hot Wheels didn't guarantee income.Thank fuck Hasbro fumbled the Jurassic World line and Mattel got the license for Fallen Kingdom. Those Jurassic Park/World dinosaur toys fucking rule.
>>11918336Accessories dont matter. It doesn't make it a different figure. Now if they will put both up for preorder and let you pick which you want, sure. But if they send you whichever they want in a mystery box like Todd did, fuck no
>>11918331>There are many catwomen in her comics.That makes sense then. I haven't been reading the Absolute comics, her being more brown and sporting a nice rack is as far as I know this iteration of Catwoman.
>>11918317mattel does variants in the wwe linethey also have tons of exclusiveshave fun getting what you asked for :)
>>11918350I was team Todd, anon
>>11918177Nothing. These are not good enough to start over.
>>11918177I'll probably do Absolute Catwoman and that's really all that appeals to me from these reveals I dig Absolute Flash's outfit though, if InArt does it might pick it up
>>11918342They did do modern variants but they were often pretty mediocre and often based on which classic version could easily get slightly remolded to the modern one. The selection of who got a modern version and who got a classic look was really random too. They did a OYL/modern Tim Drake Robin early on but then a 90's Superboy and the Kid Flash was Wally so you couldn't make any modern version of the Titans, only the 80's team
>>11917989You might want to start doing your own laundry anon, your mom is getting up there in the years and she can't take care of you forever.
>>11918060God I'm excited for this, gonna put him with my mcfarlane flashs and that last mattel release black kid flash
>>11918310>toy line is both an homage to, and an aesthetic continuance of, an old toy line>REEEE WHY THEY MAKE CYCLOTRON Idiot. And it barely mattered since DCUC was Buck: The Line
>>11918111I've played with my AY Batman tons and none of the paint wore off, just don't eat nuggies and play with your figures at the same time
>>11918111Why would you allow your figure to shelf dive?
>>11918795I'm just saying, paint rub and scuffing can be issue, if it wasn't Japanese companies wouldn't stick plastic sheets in all the joints to protect them during transport.>>11918847You're kidding, right?
if you laugh you go to heaven
>>11920184This giving me a headache!

>>11918310This dude still hasn't shown up in present day DC comics' main lore.
>>11920862he spent like 90% of the review saying its not a adult collectable bro, he basically gave it a pity bump in the score
>>11918174So did they say anything about those this weekend? I want to know more about the Total Justice and Super Powers.
>>11920992no cause theyre bs jarret made up
>>11921006>theyre bs jarret made upHe didn't even make it up himself. They were supposedly leaks from a German retailer internal system. As much as I would love Total Justice figures making a return (I grew up in the 90s and the designs speak to me on a spiritual level), it's more than likely complete bullshit because Total Justice was a KENNER line, not Mattel, so while WB might own copyrights to the characters, and maybe even the Total Justice Branding, the moulds would still be under Hasbro's ownership, and even though Hasbro and Mattel have been playing nice with Hot Wheels and Transformers, I doubt Hasbro are gonna hand over moulds and character designs for Mattel to make money off of.
>>11921006To this day, I still don't know who Jarret is or how you guys identify his posts.

>2026>DC still can't move away from the diaper crotchSADWhy don't just make statue then if you are not going to allow people to pose their ACTION FIGURES?
>>11921205if you're talking about mattel, I was worried at first but the diaper piece is soft plastic
>>11921241>soft plasticAnd that is supposed to be good?Soft plastic leaks plasticizers if they are made of PVC
>>11921253all my imports that use soft plastic are fine so I dunno what to tell u, maybe it's where u live.
>>11921253>worrying about plasticizers in 2026this isnt the 1990s. it just seems like youre complaining for the sake of complaining when initially you thought the diaper hindered articulation but upon learning that it's soft you found a new thing to bitch about
>>11921241that shits going to rip
>>11921155>STFU
>>11921241is this better or worse than the way todd does it?mcfarts bend outward but wont bending inward cause it to deform?
>>11921161What is Valley Forge? The best google gives is a miniature game. Is the Phantom Lady guy? I remember him posting miniatures.
>>11918310>no Jason Todd Red Hood, no Miss Martian, no Batwoman, no Stephanie Brown Batgirl, no Dick Bat and Damian RobinI thought faggots were supposed to have good taste...
>>11921557Valley Forge is a massive faggot who has hijacked the DC General so he can spam the same dozen or so images of his McFarlane display and a bunch of AI generated images.
>>11918649Making a homage to the old toyline in the first place was fucking stupid. Who cared? People wanted good DC toys primarily, not something beholden to a shitty old 5PoA toyline
>>11921917Excuse me!?... WHAT THE FUCK did you say about DC Super Powers!?...https://youtu.be/mvlbCDTsW4I
>>11921428I bought three big only took the John Stewart out of the package because the boots I have to try to swap out and give him ankle articulation are from another GL figure. His torso/pelvic area feels fine to me and he has more sn crunch and ability to go back than some mcfarts. I think people's main issue is how the Toddler's diaper and legs get loose and, I guess wobbly especially as it gets stretched out. It just looks unattractive on display, eventually.
>>11921879Are those the same guys? At this point I don't know if this is some dumb meta joke or legit schizophrenia
>>11922377>Are those the same guys?VF does constantly go on about Phantom Lady, so I'll say yes, but you're not wrong for thinking that there's a level of schizophrenia to this whole thing. It doesn't help that VF knows that his trip immediately turns people against him, so he takes it off to try and stealth post, but he's so blatantly obvious about it, like posting his display with the trip on, then taking it off to post how it's "based."
>>11922377oh the guy talking about me definitely has schizophrenia and I've suspected for a while some kind of profound learning disability that prevents him from being able to coherently follow or comprehend conversations. weclome tp dc genral
>>11921260>>11921271plasticizers still leak.There were complaints about a newer Yamaguchi Iron Man leaking after almost a year of its release.Plasticizers can leak at any moment, because toy companies keep modifying their plastics.IF companies only used plastics and colors that they've been using since the 90s, everything would be fine, because they'd know which formulas work and which don't. But every company wants to keep making the cheapest shit possible and China always loves to cut corners, so plasticizers can still randomly leak on any toy at any moment. Nevermind plasticizers will eventually leak out anyway, but that normally happens after 30 years. The softer the plastic, the leakier it'll be too. Do note that leaking doesn't always mean weeping (liquid). The plastic also becomes brittle/dry, thus prone to breaking if not just discolored/texture change.
So is the guy raging at the mattel line mad that Macfarlanes's is dead? I don't plan to collect these but they look alright for what they are.
>>11930173there's a couple of people raging at Mattel, so who knows who you're talking about
