seeing these in person, i don't really see any noticeable difference with the regular version i have at home
>>
>>11737957
The ankles on that one have the boot wrinkles even though they're painted like stockings. The only reason to buy that is for a headswap, but I'm pretty convinced they both have the same head and it's just lighting.
>>
>>11737961
oh whoops, forgot to type "head" when saying i didn't see a difference. obviously i dont keep my zatanna in my pocket so i couldn't compare them in the aisle, but any difference has gotta be so subtle that i can't believe they'd actually bother to make it.
>>
fuck i also forgot to ask if anybody has any ideas for how to make a tiny magnifying glass accessory. i have a goofy old spy vs spy one somewhere but my old dcuc question is holding it and i have no idea where that even is. i feel like there's gotta be something obvious for a tiny plastic hoop that i'm just not thinking of.

For the cost of about eight or nine McFarlanes you could get a printer and make all the magnifying glasses, guns, and accessories you can imagine.

>They put it in console bundled and count those as sales.
That's fair. If someone really didn't want the game they could've just not bought the bundle or bought another one.
>And during covid gave it out for free for some sort of covid stay st home bullshit. And those do count as sales.
No they don't. Free games, Game Pass/PS Premium aren't counted in sales figures.
>Why are you even talking about that dad hideous bitch her face is more fucked up than a McFarlane woman
I don't give two shits about Aloy. It was in response to the original retarded post about video games with female protagonists not selling. Done talking about this since we're beyond off-topic at this point.

What exactly do you mean they are doubling down? This has been Beast Kingdom's pricing for DC figures to begin with, no? Now Hasbro and McFarlane have been increasing prices but posting Beast Kingdom does kinda make you look stupid when their DC line has been selling on Aliexpress for 45-50 bucks since the very start

>>11738065
>This has been Beast Kingdom's pricing for DC figures to begin with, no?
Yep, pretty much. The licensed ("facial representation") stuff (e.g. typically movie stuff) is always higher, and something tagged "Deluxe" is always higher - but you get some added value like extra accessories, etc. Darkseid was higher but he's also kinda like Todd's Mega Figs and was almost 9" - so that one had some logic behind it.
I paid $70 for the Composite Superman/Batman but that was also done with Diamond Select so I expected it to be more than the recent JL figures (which yes, have fallen around $45-$55), but I just noticed some DC stuff on BBTS was wierdly high. The Lobo for example, which is listed as a deluxe and could also be a Mega Fig type example, although it's still only 8" and I think people would have preferred the Dog AND a Motorcycle for that amount of money.

McFarlane, like certain other people, has gotten good at conning needy, insecure idiots with money, to buy into his cult.
He's been good at creating FOMO since he started his Spawn cult.
You already see McFarts flood stores like Ollie's and Ross, and quickly peg warm and clearance.
Went shopping Monday and that GameStop had both the recent Swamp Thing mega fig and the Aquaman and Blue Beetle Mega Figs not just red-tagged "reduced" but yellow-tagged clearanced.
The Superman Gold Label Fortress with the robot was $5.99 at Ross even before Black Friday, and even the movie mega figs and the statutes show up there, like PIC REL.
Ollies had loads of these, even Burlington which rarely had DC crap had shit like The Witcher, and his anime and Movie Maniac's crap.
He's just convinced enough idiots and produces such small quantities that it creates this artificial scarcity in some instances that shit "feels" like a success.
Don't forget - Zatanna and the '78 Superman 'also' sold out on their pre-order day.
And I saw both for sale at Target a few days ago as well - and Target had rows of unsold CE and plat Mirror Masters and Dark Archers clogging the pegs by the Collector's Corner.
I'm sure if I had a Walmart nearby, it would have been the same thing.
The only thing I ended up buying toy-wise, at Target, was a GI Joe Retro card.
And the only thing I picked up at the Ross was a Marvel Legends Spider-Man Unlimited, in spite of the fact that I was actually looking for dinosaurs for the young 'uns at all these stores.

So it’s pretty much confirmed the leaker was the guy from super7 that got laid off and hired by Mattel to do the collector dc figures. The timeline matches. We were getting super7 and mcfarlane leaks at the same time before any other site. Mattel getting dc was even leaked in the general 3-4 months before the official announcement. Gotta be him.

McFarts don't go to Ollie's in my area. Only Hasbro products do. Only Ross has McFarts and its just the typical ones you named that no one wants like modern DC movie stuff. No one will walk into a Ross and find Cyborg Superman or Nicholson Joker.
Also Walmarts and Targets in my area have max like 3 McFarts that aren't peg warmer gold labels (Fire) at any given time, usually in electronics. Last time it had any large amount was a Superman movie endcap with a bunch of platinum transparent Eradicators that no one wants And New52 Supes which again no one wants.

Gangbuster, Larfleeze, and Starman Jack are all still someday maybe. Todd is selling 40k space vampires today.
I haven't messed with any of their 40k stuff but I'd pick up a kill team of Black Templars if they made some. There are those unpainted figures but the paint would chip off and if I'm painting a Templar it'd be a mini for the army.

Todd's livestream was hilarious about this WM collector con. Subjects of discussion were:
-Encouraging viewers to rush and be there promptly as some of this stuff "sells out really fast"
-Talking about in store as an alternative as it sells out
-Talking about how some people may live 80 miles away from the nearest store as some kind of weird aside and offering no solutions for those people
Overall it was classic lulz

Superman was literally reciting the boyscout motto as a joke and Superboy said Generic Youth Slang, there is effectively zero difference between all that and modern memes/Things The Kids Say.
"Something the writer actually thought up for the character to say" my ass, it is all a fucking reference and Slammin' is a term every tom dick and larry writer at the day thought kids were saying and so they made Superboy say it.

This is only because their corporate in Texas sucks and they are assholes who won't let them discount or clearance garbage that old.
Probably one of their STONKs intern hires, whose now all of 20, convinced them boomers will lap up old collectible shit at high prices.
Based on his GROK research, of course, so they are specifically not allowed to discount that crap.
I know from being told this by store managers across three states now.
I was especially annoyed because I even showed the acne covered manager in Vegas that scalpers on eBay weren't even charging MSRP for those B&W Batman figurines.

So the anon who said DC collector figures under Mattel would be like 30+ dollars for regular figures may not be far off since MOTU Chronicles is now 27 for a regular figure (Scareglow) and that line does not have licensing overhead.
>>
>>11740674
It's not that surprising, gi joes are close to $30 now as are legends. Hell a deluxe origins is $33 now, and that is direct to consumer, a line with no over head and heavy parts re use. Origins has always been the most affordable figure on the peg and imo classified was the better value on the pegs but I haven't bought one in a year so idk what the deal is now, but yeah man we've got to get used to the future Todd saw coming as far as prices go.
Here's Batman and Batgirl just chilling, reading about their adventures together.
>>
>>11740682
At some point there will be downsides for these companies who keep raising prices, as at some unknown price point they will reach the point where not enough people buy the figures for them to make a profit with all the overhead. When you see lines go made to order for normal figures that is the beginning of it.
>>
>>11740674
more than likely its going to be closer to the wrestling line with multiple price points we know the kids line already shown is 12 dollars so for some characters that people dont really care about we can grab them cheap especially if scale is consistent
>>
I feel dumb for asking this, but I’m new to Mafex and the brand new ones have a little plastic sheet right in the middle of the torso. Is there a better way to remove this than just ripping it out like a retarded child? When I just tore it out with one figure it kind of seemed to be stressing the parts inside, I was afraid I was about to break something.

If they are as good as the motu chronicle figures yes. I wouldn’t mind them being up to $35 if they were packed with character specific accessories but that’s my limit. I’m definitely picking up all the kids line figures tho. They look good enough for the $13 price.

>>
>>
>>11741035
Imports won't make C or D listers. While I'm not a completionist, I would really not mind building out an extensive DC Universe to rival my Marvel collection. My rule of thumb is for imports, if like the version of a character they do, I'll get it and then pad out the rest of my collection with domestic figs that imports won't make.

For me it was the exclusives, there just wasn't any rhyme or reason to them. All of my platinum and red platinum were just pure dumb luck, and in the case of cyborg superman you had two choices, hard to find or fuck you for not camping out at a store. I won't pin all my frustration with exclusive figures on McFarlane since Hasbro has really chapped my butt over the past two years but at least with Hasbro you felt like you had a chance. You had an idea of when the figures were supposed to come out for store exclusives or a date for pulse exclusives but with Todd it's literally word of mouth. As far as preorders with multiverse go, well I'll be glad I don't have to stop everything at 10:56 and get logged in to be ready for the 11:01 drop. If Todd hadn't turned hard into the classic looks I doubt I'd be this active with collecting the line at all.
As far as mattel goes, I'll try a few out. Just depends on what they offer up beyond what we all expect to be the first wave of figures.

Try closer to $250. It's hard to justify even as a diorama piece considering you can get the NECA Street Scene Diorama or the Ubiquitous modular setup for like $150 themselves, and they're much more extensive.

Hellboy sold out in less than two minutes on Amazon but there are still some left on BBTS.
Still no Starman Jack.

Anyone notice how mcfarlane has expanded the "McFarlane Collector Edition" outside of DC now? This is the first non-DC figure with that branding. He is going to keep going with this ridiculous $35 price tag when Hasbro and Mattel are both undercutting him at $27-28
>>
>>
>>11741853
It's called Branding.
And it allows them to introduce figures into an already established line instead of starting new, where you need to convince retailers to carry something else.
Also, aren't collector editions from DC Direct, which are sold at comic shops? That automatically increases prices due to the market they're sold in, since they're not supposed to be sold in the childrens toy aisle. DC Direct, NECA, Diamond Select were always more expensive than Hasbro and Mattel toylines, even when they had limited articulation.

>>11741867
No, the McFarlane CEs are not DC direct.

Looks like he did it with Avatar figures last year too but no one pays attention to that shit

I've been saying for a while now Todd should keep going in that direction and make a Matt Baker Artist's Edition Collectible Phantom Lady, to honor the work of a gay black artist who's drawings were so sassy they got held up before Congress as examples of the corruption of the youth.
Todd likes sassy. Todd likes money.
Imagine all that sassy Phantom Lady money.

McFarlane actually tends to ruin one brand and move on to the next. So regular DCMV, Page Punchers, McFarlane Digital, McFarlane Collector Edition, etc. They're all basically the same figures and reuse parts but somehow they just keep making up new names to sell them under.
>>
>>
>>11741870
So McFarlane CE is another label then, apart from DC Direct? Pretty weird. I guess DC Direct has nothing to do the CE figures.
Still, the fact that Hellboy and Avatar are not sold as a childrens toy and instead being released in the direct market (comic shop and other collector shops) means prices are going to be higher, same as DCD, NECA, and Diamond Select.
>>11741875
PAge Punchers no longer exist? That's the one that was under the DC Direct label.

She's public domain. Fuck licenses, fuck retailers, do a McFarlane Toys exclusive or a kickstarter. I'd probably personally finance a campaign if Todd did if that way.

The last McShartlane I got was this in the 90's. I didn't even pick it, my annoying American uncle brought it over as a birthday gift along with the VHS of the first film.

The GI Joe thread is pretty quiet but can also have their own schizo, I mean, I don't collect them, I just think Hasbro has made some great male heads and thus I've been buying them to head swap with McFarts because they fit quite nicely. But they also post toys there, too.

I still think it's funny when I look for something I never bought when it first came out and then finds stacks of them dirt cheap, like picrel which just sold at an auction for $5.
I'm sure Todd was majorly hard when all of two people bid it up that high.
