what an awful display from mattel
>>11918217He looks very bored, staring awkwardly at the camera. But at least he has a wired cape and no pins.
The Mattel Hal Figure is pure sex and I will be buying him day one
Hasbro is more destroyed by this than McFarlane due to all the wired capes. How will Hasbro compete with this? They can't offer wired capes at $28
>>11918238is over, sell the marvel master license to todd while they still can
>>11918232Still better that what McFarlane Toys what out.
>black suit>earth 2we just can't have a superman
>>11918238>They can't offer wired capes at $28>He thinks Mattel legacy figs will be $28Oh honey it's fucking over, the era of $20-$29 figs is over. everything is getting more expensive and by the time this line releases they'll need to be at least $30. I hope you have enough to afford them with the impending $10 gas
>>11918245This is what moldbrain posters say.
>>11918238Hasbro has the marvel community by the ballsMattel actually has to try since DCfags have options with all the high quality figures we got coming now
I read that UPF Absolute Batman got delayed, is that true?
>no classic flash>no martian man hunter>no Aquaman>no phantom ladyThis line is DoA, Mattel might as well start selling off the DC license while they can.
>>11918217Well I'm sold on Absolute Wave but it's probably one kind of deal. There just not enough prominent characters to fill second. Green Arrow? Zatanna? Some Batman enemies? Another Batman?
stop talking to yourself
>>11918256They just need to stop making toys for a while. People have too many already and it'd be good for us to have a break.
Are there any pictures of All in Flash or Absolute Flash's face? Some of the face sculpts are decent but some like Superman are ugly.
How come The Mighty Endowed STILL hasn’t been made into a toy yet? I think /ctg/ will rejoice when she gets made into an action figure.
>>11918249Legacy isn't Ultimate, right? Legacy is just the midline, so it should be 25-28 as they said it would be comparable to other Mattel stuff out now. Chronicles is 27 and WWE midline is 25
Damn he looks good
>>11918275Nobody here buys wwe figs so nobody here knows the prices despite it being out there but yes legacy is the mid level line
>>11918277the bright colors are weird.
>>11918280I went to Mattel Creations and WWE Elite (midline) is 25. WWE Ultimate is 36.
>>11918284Good.
Their character choices are pretty boring and standard. One normal Iconic Look wing since it's evergreen and then one edgy Absolute wing since it's selling well now.
>>11918257Doesn't need to be a full wave, can be sprinkled around like any other non Prime Earth variant. Batman will likely have an ultimate version with a bunch of accessories. There are lots of green lanterns (and other colors), Martian Manhunter, the ones you mentioned. Joker could make for a BAF.
I’m so happy. Yall niggers gay.
>>11918293So those are probably the prices then>$13 for premier>$25 for Legacy>$35 for ultimateNot bad I guess, basically Mcfarlane prices
>>11918315Me too All the doomers don’t buy toys anyway
ASBAR Batman action figure when?
I thought the diapers would be over with mcfarlane gone.
>>11918357Ahahahaha it only will get worse from here. Enjoy the ride
>>11918357That looks fine
Having the reds of his blood seeping into the green tubes is great and if no one's ever doing him in his juiced up state then this is more than enough for me.
>>11918357Just keep your eyes up at the booba
>>11918357That flare out is part of the design. Look at Wonder Woman and all the other figures faggot
>>11918357is vac-metal paint back on the menu?
>>11918385wait nope just realized you can see through the visor
So apparently there are 5 figures per wave.Wave 1:Absolute BatmanAbsolute Catwoman (with boobs)Absolute Catwoman (army builder) (no boobs but has gun) (no BaF piece)Absolute FlashAbsolute HawkmanBaF: Absolute BaneWave 2:Superman (Black Suit)Superman (Earth 2) (no BaF piece)Green LanthernWonder WomanBlack LighningBaF: Mongul
absolute series feels like a industry plant. can we please just get normal figs
>>11918400Wave 3 so far>all in flash>fraction Batman>fraction Robin >john Stewart
>>11918400You're telling me 4 figures for a whole BAF? That certainly changes my enthusiasm to a lot higher. If it was 6+ waves I'd feel less of a need to get characters i might be interested in, but at only 4 I can see myself grabbing most.And that means anon in the last thread about Absolute Supes and WW was lying and we'll more than likely get another Absolute wave with them in it.
>>11918404>absolute series feels like a industry plant. I mean it's Scott Snyder, the same guy who created Batman Who Laughs and Dark Knight Metal. Ever since New 52, DC's been milking his stuff as far back as Court of Owls.
>>11918406>You're telling me 4 figures for a whole BAF? That would actually make sense when compared to the Mongul wave but damn, I would've much preferred Absolute WW and Supes over Flash and Hawkman but I guess they had to space out the heavy-hitters across different waves.
Rippin and roarin but I don't need it
>>11918411I wasn’t lying I was going off of what I was seeing and later concluded all the baf pieces were on display
>>11918363I think its a bit too small even for regular Bane. His head is not small in comic book, its regular sized in a huge ass body
>>11918419This head is regular sized (maybe a bit bigger), see Bane's next to Batman. >>11918072
>>11918416Not the anon who said you were lying >>11918406. I actually figured you were just doing your best to guess the figures for the Bane BAF wave when I asked last thread, so no harm done.
>>11918419His head is the same as Batman's.
>>11918272Lack of official references for how her chest actually looks. Presumably weird space-techy areola and nipples.
>>11918419The BAF is huge anon, and his head looking small relative to his body is still accurate to this version of Bane.
>>11918430Banes Mexican again?
>>11918419>>11918430See this pic of Mongul. They're both huge figures.
>>11918217This is unacceptable thats SO Mattel, their crappy figures will be worse than marvel legends, they looks so extremely cheap its insane
>>11918432I’m so stoked
>>11918433>t. No triceps haver Lift faggot
>>11918431He's always been Latino, unless it's Tom Hardy who mistook Bane's origins in the Carribean as being Romani/Gypsy.
>>119184324 figure BaFs make these worth it to me. I was ready to skip wave 2 but it's a strong wave on its own and get a big Mongul. These aren't as nice as they could be, but if these are actually 25 they're honestly a steal compared to the competition.
>>11918442I recall some of Mattel's last couple of DC Multiverse waves only had 4 figure BAF waves, so them keeping that is pretty nice and it's definitely incentivizing me to get a full wave.
>>11918432Well now I have some hope for TMNT license with this guys.
>>11918445That plus the wired capes is really making this feel like a line with bang for your buck.Also I was expecting name leaks, but I'm surprised images leaked so quickly/soon after. Based on last thread and a now deleted post, sounds like it was just someone that wasnt paying attention to what they were allowed to post. Would be nice if we had a few other close ups though.
>>11918450You shouldn't
>>11918257I’m personally waiting on the higher end upf/inart versions because the mattel ones look like dogshit and I’m not a mindless consoomer.
>>11918478Good for you
>>11918455>really making this feel like a line with bang for your buckWho the fuck talks like this?
>>11918404Absolute is selling well. That is why all figure companies are anxious to make it. You just are out of touch with what people view as good comics now. They want a world that reflects the one they see daily, a corrupt horrific world they must constantly resist.
>>11918482Make them feel worth it? Is that better? They don't mean the same thing but maybe that's simpler for you.
>>11918478UPF/Inart is cool and all but they are probably don't go deep into absolute universe. You will get your obligatory Batman, Superman and WW of course. They also will make Bane, Crock and Catwoman. But Flash? Hawkman? Don't think so.Price is also critical point there. I'll definitly get their high-end overdesigned Batman. And probably Wonder Woman because she's clearly will be sexier than any western company can do her. Maybe Sups because clear arms and legs looks fucking cool. But with big and background characters I will stick with cheap Mattel.
>>11918497Their overdesigned Batman is a peak.
>>11918506It's interesting how inart's stuff is all just redesigned arbitrarily, but some of it definitely looks good. Upf is going fully accurate, so if one wants a high end version of these looks thats probably the play. For me who likes the look but not enough to spend hundred plus, Mattel's offerings look great.
>>11918478I’m going to end up with a bunch of different lines for the absolute stuff
>>11918245Absolutely!
UPF/LPZZ
INART
>>11918551>>11918554We have absolute at home anon
nana-nana-nana-nananana-nana-nana-nanaNECKMAN
>>11918489False, the ultimates had the same premise and failed. Same with the new Midnight marvel. They are all tranifa stuff like you describe. Absolute is selling because its a new entry point for (a) batman. Also edgy as fuck.
>>11918572Yes?
>>11918577It's all about designs. Which is perfect for toys and action figures. Like I don't give any shits about classic DC with their men in colorful diapers. They all lame and pathetic to me. But absolute Batman, Superman and WW looks good. I will get them as my main DC representatives.
>>11918482What a weirdly common saying to take issue with.
>>11918577Who the fuck is Tranifa?
>>11918400Damn I'm going to have to wait for all the absolute stuff to buy stuff I actually like. I just cant into Absolute. Designs look sick though.
>>11918600Both waves available in January
>>11918587What's your favorite shonen manga
Toddsisters, they're mocking us...
>>11918603I heard yours is Boku no Pico
>>11918590Her mom
>>11918603>favoriteNo such thing. But I sticked with Naruto and Bleach until the end back then. Even bough some 5poa action figures for bleach.Design wise Naruto is a trash. Bleach is slightly better because Kubo was into fashion modeling.
>>11918400Wave 1 is such hogshit. Honestly worse than Dark Knights Metal. And I don’t even like Hush Batman, he’s one of the gayest versions.
>>11918400Better than that dogshit Dark Metal
huh?That's it?Literally looks like the kiddy line but with more articulation. Cheapo as fuck looking. Everything is so smooth looking and we all know it's because they're going to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-reuse these bodies for the next 5 years.Also, Hush Batman looks like it's an Andy Kubert Batman, Not Jim Lee. Even Mafex did a better job and they 're pretty mediocre.
>>11918400Meh. While I'm glad they ended up showing more than Batman and the roof, I'm not seeing anything that makes me feel the need to go from DCC/DCMV's 1/10 to Mattel's 1/12 so far. The BAFs look good though and only making you buy 4 figures is smart.On another note, are the Absolute comics worth reading or is it just style over substance?
I won't be getting any of these figures, but I think they look okay, so I'm happy for anons that like them. My thing I just can't understand is how, in general, America is just so archaic when it comes to articulation design. It's like they just don't progress, they don't know how to learn from Chinese figures. Look at what Storm Arena, 52Toys, LaDo Toys etc. can do in a similar price range, why is Mattel starting a brand new line, with bucks they will reuse over and over again, that have barely any ab crunch, no wrist balls, limited head movement and no fucking butterfly joints? I just can't comprehend it, spend the expense on R&D now for the base body and you reap the rewards for your entire line.It's the same with Hasbro, McFarlane, Neca, they all just completely stagnate with utterly outdated articulation, yet spend money on completely new moulds, the perfect time to actually innovate. I just don't understand. They can't even properly engineer the joints they do use, to the point people have normalised shaving excess plastic away, it's insane.
>>11918630I tried the Wonder Woman one and it was beyond abysmal, unreadable shit, I don't know if the others are better.
>>11918630>While I'm glad they ended up showing more than Batman and the roof, I'm not seeing anything that makes me feel the need to go fromI dont think they were supposed to. Seemed to have been leaked from the private "influencer" event.
>>11918630Batman is kinda fun. Everything else is pure trash.
>>11918631Westerners can’t make toys.
>>11918635Weird how japs are still getting mogged by McFarlane, then... I guess he must be honorary Eastern.
>11918640...
>>11918630> Absolute comics worth reading or is it just style over substance?Hogshit geared toward woke zoomies who eat cum
Just a little bit of acetone
>>11918631You had me until you said:> comes to articulation design. It's like they just don't progress, they don't know how to learn from Chinese figures. Look at what Storm Arena, 52Toys, LaDo Toys etc.
>>11918643What? All I see is a cute male
>>11918645The symbol’s supposed to be blue on his chest
>>11918650I don’t care
>>11918646What about that bothers you? If you mean because they are more expensive, it's only by a small amount and they are basically the equivalent in China. They also all have vastly more paint, use higher quality materials and come with more accessories, so I'm not expecting Mattel in their price range to match them on those fronts, I unserstand Mattel is going for a lower tier market, it's specifically the articulation I'm talking about. I mean Jada are a decent example of being closer to the minimum I'd expect, priced about the same as a Hasbro or a Mattel, but are much better articulated, have more paint (albeit not the sharpest), yet are still a lower quality compared to their Chinese equivalents, but at least they try.
Mattel's first wave utterly mogs everything Todd has made
>>11918653Man, that belt looks so bad, like a Christmas cracker toy. The sculpts are pretty nice on these figures, I like their shapes.
>>11918513Inart are actually doing both. The Wonder Woman prototype they showed off and that Batman there are "Artist Versions", but they also have a standard line, which will be comic accurate. They showed off a prototype of the comic accurate Batman at Wonderfest as well.
>>11918656>use higher quality materials>Lado_Cowbitch_with_yellow_shoulders.mp4
>>11918628>Andy KubertYep, I was thinking the headsculpt looked quite a ways off and while it's a good looking Batman, it doesn't nail the Jim Lee art style.
Post to scare away Todd
This is what it’s all about brother
>>11918687Diana looks great, Clark could use some rework on his face though
>>11918687doodler, mattel wonderwoman with ML power princess head, go!
>that fuckass clown is at it again
>>11918687>classic Wonder woman>2025 batman>Earth 2 SupermanI really wish we got a classic Trinity from the start instead of this. I wonder how long until we get a neal adams batman?
>>11918217that fucking shoulder joint doesnt even work, how can anybody be proud of shitting out something like that? jada unironically got better articulations that this
>>11918735> how long until we get a neal adams batman?For some reason companies like to push Hush Batman, despite that Batman sported the “Neal Adams” look for around 30 years. It took forever just to get the Knightfall figure from McFarlane.
>>11918733Oh shi-- It's THE WALK!!!
This line looks like shit compared to the $100 import lines it looks more like Marvel Legends. I deserve better I've been a fan of DC for 45 years and this is the slop I get?
>>11918785Then just buy the imports? >it looks more like Marvel LegendsIt's unironically the same target market as ML so that was expected.
>>11918733That bruce or brainiac in disguise. That’s one big noggin
>>11918785lol fucking faggot
>>11918630It's style over substance outside of Absolute Flash, which basically is DC finally sitting down to create a new origin for Wally West to allow him to be Flash straight out the gate rather than having to introduce Barry and Wally as his sidekick
They look good together
>>11918630Overall yes, Absolute Martian Manhunter is amazing, Absolute Batman is great for how over the top it is, abs wonder woman is good, the only real dud was early abs supes but it got better.
>>11918836too much shitty glossy plastic. Its so cheap looking and the glare washes away all the detail.The only good thing about this line so far is that it seems to be following a scale. I'm sure the re-re-re-re-re-reuse will erase that in the future though.
>>11918836>>11918839It’s ai you fucking knuckle dragging low iq niggers
>>11918838Real faggy Reddit opinion you got there zoomer
>>11918836These literally look like cheaper versions of mcfartlands. They look like play doh not heroes
>vf woke upMust be nice living with your parents you faggot bitch. Post your shitty display again retard. Let’s see how your dog shit dioramas look next to your dog shit Mcfarlanes you broke fuck.
>>11918861Inb4 <this user was banned for this post>
>>11918790I buy them all because I can afford it
>>11918836No
>>11918836of all the shit to pick up from hasbro why the random assortment.who even wants earth 2 supes before the regular Superman.aaand the comic art should be used for the box sides. it's one of the best parts of new legends boxes.
>>11918949The bigger problem is they don't come with mold makers that spray steam all over my other toys
>>11918836Wait a fucking minute...PINS? PINS?! PINS!!! On my brand new Mattel collector premium figure? In the fucking year of 2k27? Big off.
>>11918984Ai bait. Retarded jeets and faggot trolls.
>>11918985But... why?
>>11918984This image is an AI generated fan made image using the leaked images as a source
>>11918986The dopamine rush of likes flooding notifications
>>11918687Super underwhelming, but not surprising. The shading only being on the 100 diorama release is a shame. Mattel's never been really impressive with collectibles. Really close, but never beyond their limitations.
The real winner is the ct toys. Too bad the retarded size.
>>11918670>no 3d printed facesehhh, this shis is so inferior to marvel legends its almost a joke
Who's going to make a The Death of Batman figure first?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUAXIMoZuBM
>>11919019lol no
>>11918687I reeeeeally don't care about Absolute and it's nuts that it's the first wave, it's an entire pass for me. I literally ignored McFarlane because they took forever to put out classic/best known looks for the trinity and here comes Mattel doing the same thing.>>11918670>classic wonder womanthat one has She-Hulk hair and George Perez looks, has the shitting lasso and no sword. this isn't it.
>>11918733they should've had stock available already and sold the figure alone to ship in time for the holidays. I don't want to pay for that diorama.
>>11919017Just give me glup shittos and I'll be happy to buy them at least. I barely bought ML either but bought ROM for example.
Here comes the new (old) challenger. Our favorite guy Mr. McFarty. Absolute cinema.
>>11919071
>>11919071Wonder Woman
>>11918217When are the last mcfarlane figures going to be revealed?
>>11919071God, Absolute is actually worse than Death Metal. At least no one pretended Death Metal was good.
>>11919078Absolute is good if you actually read it
>>11919077Here they are >>11919071 you blind idiot
>>11919082But are they confirmed to be the last of the last figures is what i meant?
>>11919071Better pic.
>>11919073I want that Superman.>>11918357Maybe two or three of these Cat Troopers with the guns depending on how much they cost.
>>11919071Todd trying to make us remember the good times before the blue beetle buck and red platinums
>>11919084When his license is out? This year or next?
>>11919088Dec 31 2026
>>11919085honestly, who will buy these? Mattel's figures looks better and will be avalible soon so these just seem like wasted money
>>11919084The gamestop date for the new stuff that went up today is 12/14, realistically shipping in January. So according to Todd's schedule there's still two more weeks of preorders unless he starts just putting up random stuff and promising it'll ship in December.
>>11919090Then it's probably that's it.
>>11919081I read the first issues of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Read a few more of Batman. It's class warfare woke bullshit that appeals to zoomers. It's literal trite. Piss off with this shit. Go read some good Batman like Grant Morrison or something.
IDK how you people even tolerate this shit all this years. Just look at this garbage. Ulgy face, ulgy soft goods, no boobs, FUKING PINS!, no alter head, only two hands.
>>11919101I dont understand why pins bother people still. Not defending todd either but geez
There's still time to release a digital render of a Phantom Lady figure for preorder.
>>11919103tastes change and evolve, people saw imports not having pins and started wanting pinless figures for a smoother look and some western brands started doing that and now it's basically a sight of a cheaper figure and really outdated, much like Todd himself
I swear the Absolute series is a psyop, some social experiment, there is no way people like these designs, I refuse to believe it. It's got to be one of the most aesthetically dogshit things I've ever seen, it's like Battleborn or something.
>>11919108I like absolute designs way more than your usual colorful diapers. But I'm not a DCfag in the first place thus don't have any attachment to "muh classic" costumes.
>>11919106Todd is extremely outdated that much i agree with. Dude thinks its still 2000 all the damn time>>11919112Im a DC fag and have only read a few issues of absolute batman yet and i liked it. The designs look sick then again i genuinely think batkek is cool so im not usual in that degree
>>11919071That Superman looks pretty dope
>>11919138Just like Cavill's suit, if you put on the trunks it looks a million times better.
>>11919149>if you put on the red diaper.Fuck off with this shit dude. Seriously. This shit needs to die.
>>11919154Hi zack
>>11919164Your boyfriend?
>>11918432>>11918666>>11918670>>11918733I'm so glad I held off and skipped Mcfartshit all these years now i can build a proper DC collection.
>>11919171Like it matters. They are both sloppy lines.
>>11919171Same. These will go alongside my already existing Mafex collection. This will be great for my collection, finally a decent sized DC collection.
I told you I’d leak them.
What do you think of my leaks?
Were my leaks the best you've ever seen?
>>11919097Nice bait Go be a retarded faggot on /co/ instead of here
>>11919097>It's class warfare woke bullshitbased, i'll have to check it out now
>>11919192>They are both sloppy lines.Nah, the Mattel figures are clearly superior in every way.
>>11919253Nah it isn't.
>>11919265Yes they are. Anyone who doesn't like the Mattel figures should just leave the general completely.
>>11919071Superman is a good figure. metallic shit always look expensive.
>>11919149literally looks worse
>>11919091I will buy ww and supes. You are overlooking that Mattel has been making brighter colored figures and not necessarily fully painted ones. Mattel's Abs Superman may not look as well painted given the stuff they have shown so far are bright solid colors besides the $100 Hush BM. Same for Abs Wonder Woman. If Mattel had shown those 2 off they could've grabbed some Todd sales by showing they would look right.
>>11918853Even if it is AI, it's matching up with the actual photos, so it looks like cheap glossy plastic there too.
>>11919085That Deathstroke looks like it will be a pain in the ass to keep standing.
>>11919343you can be sure those legs will be curved in no time
>>11919369literally does >>11918217>>11918277>>11918363cheap glossy plastic that washes out detail... or maybe it's my eyesight being bad, thinking there's more detail than there actually is.
>>11919269You should leave the board
I was 100% certain this was AI when it was posted yesterday. Wow.
>>11919381more sovl than mattslop
Absolute Batman is live on Todd's site if anyone is interested. $49.99
>>11919389So is Elite WItchblade. Did she always have a gold bodysuit? I remember her being mostly naked.Brandon Routh Supes is back in stock on Amazon right now.I'm holding for Absolute Supes and Star Sapphire plus anything else that comes up. Is McFarlane running a panel this weekend?
>>11919392Elite Witchblade is the tame new look. Not really a fan of it. For a good version of the original design I might've bit, but they lost me with this prudish new look.McFarlane had a short panel today on their youtube channel but didn't show much of anything that I could tell beyond what we already know of. Hopefully they will just spill the beans shortly on what else is getting released so we know what is coming and what got canceled.
>>11919396Yeah same. I never read any Witchblade but the art was always cool. I thought it was a Bernstein Bears moment and the early digital coloring that looked like skin was actually gold the whole time.I'd buy an Aphrodite IX figure if Todd keeps going. I never read any of these comics either but this ad was in like every comic back in the day and she'd be a cool toy.
>>11918506It has the same aesthetic as those premium, $500-$1,000+ statues except it's an actual toy, like holy shit
>>11919085Ewwww
>>11918661>>11918513>>11918506i keep goin with lpzz because they can be consistent with size
>>11919343wrong.
>>11919149MY SIDES!
>>11919406I have the Inart Arkham Origins Batman and the LPZZ Arkham Knight Batman and I will say that Inart has better, more realistic and seemingly more consistent face paint, though. Like I haven't seen too many posts about Inart figures looking like they went through a chimney. If only they scaled better.
>>11919406There was a livestream today and the guy that works at inart said that origins batman and deathstroke were a mistake and that all figures moving forward will have a consistent scale.
>>11919429The decision was a mistake? Or a mistake was made somewhere in the manufacturing process? That's a hell of a mistake.
>>11919401Nobody cares
>>11919434I think it was after the feedback they received, a lot of people complained that origins was too big so he said they do not want to repeat that mistake. It's sad because they said they are done with origins (for now) but on the bright side they said they are not done with arkham in general. It would have been cool to see origins firefly but maybe lpzz will it.
>>11919381This Batman is just ridiculous looking. I guess I understand why they never molded a Batman symbol on any of the many many many Batman figures over the years. But hey, fuck it, now I'll have a half nekkid batsman to play with. >>11919392I don't think I seen a worse looking female figure since She Spawn. It's just sad, even their high end figures are just lame. McFarlane just needs to do some coasting and spend some time re thinking their over all design philosophy and approach to engage fans and scalpers. Cause these past few years of trying to collect DCMV were pretty fucking shit, even talking with DC Gen was a shitty experience.
>>11919085What the fuck is that Deathstroke???
>>11919453they ruined their chance with me sadly, and keep going all over the place with the scale of the figure after that great DKR movie batman
>>11919457I kind of want to make a Top Gun volleyball scene diorama with these guys and some of the other flamboyant shirtless Todd figures I've got (fight the frozen batman and future state superman for example.)
>>11918687>playdough sculptsTalk all the shit you want about mcfarts figs, but the sculpts looked way sharper and nice than this cartooney shit
>>11919488
>>11919381Honestly might buy this to make a custom Green Arrow>take the bottom half from Ras>take the top half from Batman >order a connor hawk for the collar piece bow and arrow>order a custom head from eBay>add some paintBoom, you got a classic Green arrow since Todd is too much of a bitch to do it himself
>>11919381also this is the first batman figure using the blue beetle buck and it looks better than the knightfall buckWe could have gotten a Batman fig with decent proportions if they actually bothered to use this buck for once. And they finally did, only for the line to die.
Holy shit those new mattel figures mogs the mcfraudulent ones so hard. How are mcfraudulent fans still defending it??
>>11919501
>>11919406I’m probably going to mix but get both Inart and LPZZ Absolute Batman
>>11919508I have never even seen a Hot Toys irl, but their Absolute Batman got my attention.
>>11919510Yeah it looks great Not 1/6 person but that one might be worth it
Boog Nice said there was a Lobo & Bike he seen there.
>>11919514If that's true hopefully the Mattel lawyers go after him.Mostly joking, but some people have said that they've seen a fair bit more, but signed NDAs are preventing any further leaks it seems.
>>11919120Nah I liked Batkek too, at least well before marketing ran him into the ground.
>>11919491:3
>>11919501>>11919505GIGAKEK
To be honest, Mattel's Batman Hush looks better than McFarlane's waste of plastics. Now I'm wondering how it compares to the MAFEX?
>>11918608Shameful that Pico never got a figma
>>11919149Maybe if it followed the lines on his sides, like a g stringThis is supposed to be twunk Superman right?
OHNONONONONO
>>11919457>I guess I understand why they never molded a Batman symbol on any of the many many many Batman figures over the yearsthey molded the symbol on almost every (if not every?) batman what are you even talking about
>>11919491>>11919501these are just goofy paintjobs. you're backing up their point about the sculpts by posting the same two images for the 100th time
>>11919496whats your beef with knightfall? i don't LOVE it but i like it way more than three jokers/hush when it comes to reused sculpts
>>11919560Cape is better on the Mafex, but the Mattel has thigh swivels, so that immediately makes it better. Honestly, you hit the Mattel figure with a matte clear coat and at a glance you'd probably be hard pressed to tell them apart.
>>11919653>Giving a fuck what that dipshit thinksISHYGDDT.
>>11919653>uuuuuuuhhhhh articulation breaks sculp bad
>>11919682Pisstel has a ball waist and butterflies that can’t do jack. Mafex overall has better range and can move significantly better. Don’t lie to yourself and think the mattel is better in any way.>>11919653He’s about to make a lot of consoomers angry, but alas these faggots will ignore the truths that will be said.
>>11919392The modern comic design reminds me of Goldust. I'd buy a figure of the anime version.
>>11919514He said there was something like 60 figures on display. In fucking sane.
>>11919657>these are just goofy paintjobsWrong.>you're backing up their point about the sculpts Wrong again.
>>11919106Ok but most of us have been buying imports of years, the only people I ever see complain about pins are marvel legends collectors having to cope with paying 30$ for the same spiderman figure for the 100th time.The first figure I ever bought was an shf gohan but not once have I looked at a marvel legends and thought they were in the same bracket. The sign of a cheap outdated figure is gummy legs, hand hinges, and the entire figure being more glossy than my oily forehead 15 years ago. but you won't see those cum dumps talk about that because it isn't something hasbro is selling you. Don't get me wrong fuck todd and his stupid fucking knee sculpts but it's sculpting and scale that should be criticized not fucking pins.
NYCC insider here. People in hazmat suits have been spotted cleaning out the Mattel booth before floor doors open.
>>11918217Why is he wearing a daiper?
>>11919857Jeet post right here, complete with AI slop
>>11919862Pooping mid-flight
Just saw anther interview with the team. They flat out said they will be doing legacy as in past live action versions of characters. Nothing is off the table. The exact example was Reeve to cornsweat
>>11919881Todd already did it though
>>11919882That Reeve figure was fucking terrible man.
>>11919885Then why did people buy it? This is where Anthony is correct. If something is bad Objectively just don't buy it. Then people won't accumulate junk to sell at a loss later
>>11919888It was the only option.
The mcfarlane Reddit is hilarious right now with people trying to sell off their sharts.
>>11919902The other option is don't buy it and wait for an objectively good version.
>>11919888That was my mindset with the entirety of McFarlane. I just didn't buy it. But at the same time, just because you and I don't like something, doesn't mean that someone else shouldn't either. Some people liked their McFarts. That's fine. I'm not autistic enough to let it bother me.
>>11919903This is another reason why I didn't buy into McFarlane. I have plenty of toys from toylines that have long ended, still on display in my collection. Even with older figures, like Icons, I can still mix them in with my collection, although with these new Mattel figs, It might be time to replace a few of them. I've already been slowly swapping them out with Mafex stuff, but I am definitely interested in that Hal and Fraction Batman and Robin.
>>11919903nice cope, faggot. prove it
>>11919929>icons aren't those fragile
>>11919932Nah, I haven't had any problems with mine. I've had legs pop off at the ball joint and stuff like that but i just popped it back on and it was fine. They are pretty limited by today's standards, but back when they came out, they were pretty cool.
>>11919933sure was funny seeing robo dont know cry like a bitch when it ended
>>11919934>when it endedEnding right before Etrigan was a travesty. Hope Mattel can give us a good one.
>>11919937I will forever be salty about the fact we never got the Blue and Gold two pack.
How many characters will be exclusive or locked behind convention exclusives now that Mattel has the license?
>>11919903Some collectors only enjoy spending money. Real collectors know Todd's run was the peak of DC toys and nothing will ever top it, spiritually or emotionally. DC Multiverse is the #1 toy line of all time.
>>11919941lol, lmao even.
>>11919932only if your hands are pork based
>>11919941you are so fucking retarded its unreal
11919941vf put your trip on and stop making threads so early
>>11919930Not that anon but I checked and cant find anything now I have eye cancer because redditors are worse than the worst shit we have ever said somehow. Like a dude complaining that 1:12 is too kiddy and doesnt scale with stuff and he will block you if you are mean to him.
This feels like a pretty good upcoming Absolute wave, given this apparent team. No villain unfortunately, but completes the team. SupermanWonder WomanJohn JonesJo MulleinBAF Martian Manhunter
>>11919978MM can manipulate his size but he tends to be pretty big.
https://toynewsi.com/241-66700>I have even been told the parts among the three different lines are mostly interchangeable. This means if say you like a headsculpt from the Superman figure in the Premier line better than the one from the other lines, you should be able to switch them out easily.buy the premier kids version DLC so you can have a complete Legacy Superman figure. scam.
this is literally Mattel's business plan for the DC line
>>11920041>keep buying the same characters again and againhow do cape sloppers live with themselves
why would the ultimate Batman exist if the Premier Batman is good enough for your shelf? this is tailor made to prey on completitionists and impulve buyers.
>>11920039buried deep within all the apologia I found my favorite quote>It's also worth noting that we are seeing pin-less joints with all these figures
>>11920039>so you can have a complete Legacy Superman figureWhat are you even trying to say? That'd be like saying you need to buy every OP SHF to complete Luffy.
>>11920062
>>11920062>>11920064$100 flashlight
>>11920064That will only highlight the mold (i kid).
Todd, hire this man!
Probably Mcfarlanes final wave. >Long Halloween Batman>Challengers of the Unknown Batman>Bruce Wayne
>Star Sapphire>Mary Shazam!>Val Zod
>The Penguin (TV)>Batman Unmasked (Returns)>Batgirl Ice suit (B&R)
>>11920085When did Zod turn into a moon cricket?
>>11920080better than a $300 notebook
>Arisia>Soranik Natu (Red Platinum)
>Resin Statues for Absolute Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Joker, and BaneThat's it.
>>11920083I'll pick up Bruce and say he's James Bond.>>11920085If Star Sapphire doesn't have metallic purple paint I'll pass. I think I already know what she'll look like, but it all depends on the paint apps.
>>11920083>>11920086just a few more batman variants before the baton is passed...
Ive bought like 4 McFarlane figures the entire time they’ve had the license Im glad the nightmare is over
>>11920106Nah this is the meh wave before the final wave of bangers.
Looks like 4 more mcfarts for me and then my collection will be complete.
They're finally going pinless, just in time for DC to end, and the first one will be King Spawn in 2027. It's funny that he's saying what I've always expected him to, yet he didn't until now, that they'd want pinless so that the figures would retain more of the 'art' that Todd always talks about.
>>11920083>>11920085>>11920090I'll get Bruce Wayne, Star Sapphire and Arisia I guess.
>>11920083cool figure ruined by hush cape #5445
>>11920083Wait, that Bond doesn't come with a trigger hand. Nevermind, then. Just the Star Sapphire, maybe. Maybe Arisia if she turns up in the wild.
Wowow wiwah Jail bait lantern, spiked drink lantern, BBC super man, Mary Marvel (respectfully thank god) and FOUR BATMANS COUNT EM BABY FOUR BATMANS.
>ValzodI have to get power girl now...
>>11920090Is Arisia using the Wonder Woman buck? Why!?
>>11919837>>11919838>>11919842Oof...
>>11919941What causes this sort of mental illness?
>>11920039>>11920041You idiots are looking at this entirely wrong. This means you have more options to spend LESS money. For example you want to put together Justice League for your shelf, you love Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern, but you don't really care about Flash, Martian Manhunter, or Wonder Woman. You can get the Ultimate Batman with all the accessories because you love that character, you can get the Legacy Superman because you like the character but don't need the extras, and you can get the rest from the Premier line because they just need to fill out the team so you pay less for the character you need but aren't as invested in.Or if you don't like it, then just don't fucking buying. Why do you people always act like someone is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to empty your wallet? and then sit their complaining? There are always gonna be toys based on DC Comics, you can just skip this and either wait for something in future or buy old stuff that's going for cheap.
>>11920087The character was created during NU52 and is supposed to be an alternate dimension version of Superman who is the heroic son of Zod that came to Earth instead of Kal-El.It was around the same time when there were a lot of articles trying to push the "is it time for a black Superman?" the whole thing was a painfully obvious marketing scheme where they could try and make a black-led Superman and try to undercut people complaining about race-swapping the character by just saying "well ackshually it's not Kal-El but a totally new character, so we didn't ackshually race-swap Superman."
>>11920123He didn't say it because they weren't ready to go pinless yet as their engineers are low tier. Also calling most of the figures they are releasing now art is a stretch
>>11920083>>11920085>>11920086>>11920090how the fuck is he gonna manage to shit these out in less than 2 months?
>>11920175they're definitely going to sell you the same figure in two lines with accessories spread out between 3 releases. just like when Jada released a recolored Ken with an extra effect piece, effectively railroading you to buy three figures just so both Kens can have a shoryuken. why should the Premier line exist when there's a Legacy and Ultimate series. Imagine if some characters are exclusive to one line. half of the league would have butterflies and toe joints and the rest don't because they expect you to mix and match the mid tier with the kids line.>Or if you don't like it, then just don't fucking buyingjust because people can see the bigger picture doesn't mean you have to normalize apathy.
>>11920199He isn't. He's going to take infinity preorders up until 11:59 on December 31st and then get stuff made and delivered through the next 6 months.
>>11919941based
>>11920098Nobody asked you
>>11919934>>11919937>>11919939DC Direct's Icons line were nearly perfect, without even trying to look like they came out of the comic.McFarlane should have dusted off the prototypes and put them into production just because>>11919903I wouldn't be surprised if people do sell off their shit, given how retarded of consumers collectors are. You see it all the time on /toy/, where if a line dies, they immediately start selling off their shit.They only care about buying NEW shit. They don't actually care about the characters or toys themselves, so they don't want to keep them around to display or play with them. You also see it all the time with anime figures, because once a tv series ends or enough time has passed, flavor of the month owners start selling off their Figuarts/Figma/Revoltech.And I'm happy they're such consumer whores, because i've been able to buy lines/figures that used to be expensive on ebay for nearly half the price they used to go for when the line was new/active
>>11920232There's no guarantee they still had the tools. The tooling might've gone to Hong Kong bay.
>>11920238Were tools even made though? It might have been canceled before they got to that stage.And i doubt any tools were stolen, given how McFarlane still had access to stuff that was even older. DC Direct wasn't canned long enough for their storage to have gotten raided or dumped. McFarlane picked them up almost immediately, before they stopped production.... and now i wonder where all of DC Direct's stuff will go now that Mattel is supposedly in charge of collector lines.Fuck Mattel, because now comic perfect stuff won't be made anymore. They can't even do Jim LEe right, instead sculpting Andy Kubert Batman by mistake
>>11920200>why should the Premier line exist when there's a Legacy and Ultimate series.Because the Premier line is a cheap line for kids. Having the option to use the cheaper figures to fill out team rosters of the characters you aren't as invested in is a good option.
>>11919149>trunksThey're panties and they look awful.
>>11920039>you’re meant to blend this with the adult collector lineLOL
>>11918217Took this picture today, it seems target is already starting to clearance and phase out there mcfarlane DC figures. Ive already noticed walmarts around me not replenishing their DC multiverse stock either. Seems like its the beginning of the end.
>>11920334just the heads because the heads of that kid's line are almost all better sculpted than the heads on the collector line figs
>>11920467that figs a year old already
I could see one of the many Hush Batmen retooled into THE GODDAMN BATMAN from All Star Batman and Robin. All it needs is a new utility belt and you got yourself an ASBAR Batman, perfect for any frankmillerfag’s collection.Question is, is there much of a market for Frank Miller Batman action figures beyond Dark Knight Returns?
just realized all those new figures and not ONE dcu figure, godDAMN did that shit flop
>>11920039yea I figured the $12 figures were going to be glorified accessory kits, probably why they have the tray of dinky weapons to give you more play options
>>11919855>the only people I ever see complain about pins are marvel legends collectorsIt's because only that bracket of collector would even bother registering McFarlane figures exist, they are cheap shite. To counter your own bemusement, I don't understand why there are still people like you who find it at all strange that people WOULD complain about pins. You don't find it strange when people criticise shit paint apps, bad articulation, poor sculpting etc. pins are just another aspect, they objectively look worse and offer essentially no benefit outside an extremely niche argument of being easier to repair/alter. Why is it that you only seem to think criticism of pins is the point of confusion?>is gummy legs, hand hinges, and the entire figure being more glossy than my oily foreheadThis is also a complete straw man, an imaginary situation, people complain those exact issues, also a lack of paint detail, no accessories, bad sculpts, poor articulation all the time, just because you have decided to head canon the people who don't with the same people who complain about pins means absolutely nothing.
>>11920697They already said corensweat and even reeve and "everything in between" is probably coming. If you don't think starting the line with the currently hottest DC comics and then comics stuff, idk what to tell you.
>>11920723You don't know anything
>>11920467Fuck there's no target in my stupid country. I love the toy redecos so much since I lost all my childhood toys.
>>11920723movie stuff is a given. how long it takes for it to show up, or how well it'll sell is simply up to simple waiting.
>>11920724https://youtu.be/vVIcMyL6ETs?si=hEoA6BQ5_yZ620Mt&t=127Inform yourself.
>>11920723>If you don't think starting the line with the currently hottest DC comics and then comics stuffproblem is absolute is a passing fad. if I want to get in on this line I'm gonna need staples. 4/6 should be League Members with 2 wild cards.>classic supes>classic bats>classic wondie>classic jonz>absolute who>absolute caresthey have to sell me on starting a collection but all I'm seeing is elseworld shit and not enough iconic earth 1 looks>just get the kids line if you want the league membersfuck off. this is what I'm wary of. that they release core members in the kids/premier line then double down with an ultimate. if you have enough money to get both go ahead and do it but why should anyone take that shit?
>>11920876It doesn't matter if it's a passing fad or not, literally everyone who can is making this character because it's currently that big. And besides, you're in luck, wave 2 has Hal Jordan and Wonder Woman in classic forms, along with more or less regular Superman in the black and silver and red and blue. And finally an even more classic Black Lightning, rounded out with classic Mongul. What we can currently assume is wave 3 then has Batman and Robin, and John Stewart in another classic look, and Flash in a more modern look. We'll obviously be getting these classic characters in their classic looks, but you can't expect to form a full classic Justice League in just 2/3 waves of 4 (and we're actually getting pretty close).
>>11920876>problem is absolute is a passing fad. if I want to get in on this line I'm gonna need staples.Why are you acting like they won't eventually get to them? They already showed off a classic Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan, and John Stewart. I can understand them wanting to do Absolute with the first wave, frankly, i'm glad they're getting it out of the way first. Again, you're acting like they won't get to the staple characters you want. They absolutely will so you're making mountains out of molehills.
>>11920892>>11920899>just wait until they get their act togetherI can wait all I want until they lose the license. I did with McFarlane.
>>11920906Ok, good for you. No one cares what you do. Child.
>>11920915good for you, bootlicker.
