HELL YEAH TOYS

>>11803200
Are Four Horsemen back on DC? These feel very DCUC.

>>11803200
Mattel is actually really dumb for making the core figures in DC also 6.5in rather than 5.5in like MOTU. Because lots of people are going to just buy the core versions of most of the less important characters for cheap as "good enough" and leave the collector versions of those characters to rot on shelves at $27+

>>11803279
I agree. The kids line should’ve been similar to motu movie core figures.

>>11803279
>>11803287
They're just mimicking the formula from WWE, between Main Event (basics) and Elite (collector) figures. Between scaling and being able to swap heads and certain other parts, that's kind of why they exist this way.

>>11803323
They're going to lose money on it though, which seems...counterproductive to a corporation.

>>11803279
I think the idea is to do the more like WWE method of it, where the kids line on the adult side of things IS supplemental, But on the other hand I honestly can't see them making that obscure of characters in the kids line, even the spinmaster stuff didn't go very deep. Like I'm thinking like Plastic Man tops is the most obscure they'll probably do (I know he's not really that obscure now but most casual fans still really don't even know him)

>>11803328
Adding back on because I forgot This point actually, but I think again they're expecting fans to double dip because people will buy a figure and that eventually want to upgrade, because a lot of adult collectors tend to be like that where they will buy something and then a year later when the newer better one comes out they'll still buy that, just in this case it's a kid's toy version

>>11803328
Wouldn't the kids line eventually run out of steam? Or are they about to get very creative with Legends of the Dark Knight II: Boomerang Battler Batman?

I guess I'm confused on this motu idea I see here. What is it you guys mean? Do you want origins styled figures or do you just prefer the actual dimensions of the size? The female figures in origins (there aren't many female characters) all share the same exact body. Which after a good six years becomes pretty friggin boring.
Would anyone be happy with Phantom Lady on the teelas body?

File: IMG_6854.jpg (60.0 KB)

>>11803398
Core on the left

>>11803398
I think they just would prefer the kids line be less similar to the eventually collectors stuff as to lessen the potential cannibalization "Oh, I don't really need an expensive Joker this $13 one is pretty good and works with that $28 batman I just got" vs "Oh, this Joker is from an entirely different scale, guess I'll have to get the $28 dollar one to work with the Batman I just got"
When if I'm being honest, the latter cannibalizes more from what I've seen with MOTU because it means if you get invested in one line you're pretty damn locked in. I collect the movie core stuff, and realistically I won't get any movie origins or chronicles.

>>11803326
I think the idea is almost a kid to "adult" collector pipeline.

>>11802963
Faust by Todd would be great, these kind of characters are 200% his thing.

File: IMG_4122.jpg (174.2 KB)

>>11803476
Todd is making a Witchblade and Savage Dragon for his Image series. I've been saying for months that public domain characters would be really interesting. I'd prefer something accurate to the source material, but a McFarlane Toys figure of Fantomah with vibes from the old Blair Witch figure would be sick.

Branching out to more independent characters like Hellboy is a good move, too. Maybe Cerberus, Shi, or Aphrodite IX.

The wait is almost over bros!!!

>A new era of DC Comics figures begins this coming Sunday (5/31) with the launch of Mattel's new line of DC Core products which will be available online and at physical stores.
>We will see the first round of 6.5" figures which should include the likes of Robin, Joker, Batman, and Flash. We will see deluxe figures along with a new line of Bat-Link vehicles that include a new Batmobile and Robin with Cycle. We will see various 12" figures and more.
>These are all part of the first stage of Mattel's recapture of the DC toy license from Spin Master with the more kids oriented stuff that is going to be priced around $12.99 each for a single 6.5" core figure.
>Then in the beginning of 2027 Mattel will be launching their new "Collector" 6.5" oriented figures after McFarlane Toys ends their run with the license this year.
>You will find these new Mattel DC Core figures at physical stores like Walmart and Target. Some Targets have already started getting them in stock with a sale date of this Sunday.

Just a few more hours bros!!!

DC IS BACK BABY

You guys heading out to pick up the wave tomorrow? I AM!

>>11803556
Hell year brother! I ride at first light!

Today’s the day.

Insider here.
Total Mattel recall.
Shipments sent to major retailers were found to contain an insect classified as hazardous to the North American ecosystem.
If you see any DC Mattel figures on shelves tomorrow, immediately bring them to the customer service desk for incineration.
That is all.

>>11803537
I just came into the thread to ask whens the new collector line reveal and was wondering if it was gonna be at sdcc

>>11803623
You’re such a fucking fag dude

>>11803628
Yes. They will reveal at SDCC and announce product launch is happening in October of this year instead of January next year.

>>11803631
False.

>>11803623
Correct.

>>11803637
If you stop being a faggot you might get a new phantom lady.

>>11803645

>>11803200

She’s coming

>>11803652
Which 9am? Est? PT?

>>11803674
Est

>>11803674
Actually they’re up now on target

>>11803679
Yeah I was fast enough to snag a core Flash funnily enough. Hopefully they stock more online as ok the site's bad about keeping cheaper figures available

>>11803685
Batmobile up now too

>Batman
>Robin
>Joker
>Flash

All sold out in minutes online. Batmobile is currently the only thing still available. Pretty crazy for a drop in the middle of the night. I’m sure there will be more online in the morning.

File: 1780167690140670.png (2.6 MB)

>>11803713
I wonder if dc mattel is going to be like some marvel legends that you cant sleep on certain figures because they will sold out in hours instead of days and months like mcfarlane

I’m excited to see new dc figures on shelves.

Roughly $95 before taxes for all 4 single carded releases and the Batmobile together. Is that a good deal to you? Shout out in the comments below.

>>11803713
Scalpers and speculators. Kids aren't getting these. You're not bringing in new collectors.

>>11803786
Now they are trying to sell the kids line to collectors. Because they know kids don't buy action figures.

>>11803811
>>11803812
Lol fuck off tard

>>11803713
Why do they put up preorders in the middle of the night? At least Todd and hasbro put them up when normal humans are awake

>>11803818
Target is really bad about listing toy pre orders. Shit goes up at random times and sells out instantly. Even if the figure is plentiful when it actually releases. I wouldn't put too much stock in Targets system tbqh. Just go to the store or calling and ask with the DPCI.

>>11803818
For all the "kids" to buy

>>11803743
Have you tried to preorder a McFarlane recently?

File: robot-moves-pretending-to-be-a-robot.gif (427.4 KB)

>>11803200
do these toys have ab crunch or any abdominal articulation?

what is it with western toy manufacturers wanting all their toys looking like a bunch of stiff robots from the 1970s?

>>11803833
Swivel at the waist. These are designed for play not gay “action figure photography”

>>11803833
It's the cheap kids line. How many times does this have to be said? They're like $12. The collectors line, with normal articulation, is yet to be revealed.

>>11803835
that makes total sense for the playing toy to have less playability

>>11803836
It’s trolling at this point and should be reported. Everyone has had more than enough time to get informed and bitching that they don’t like it because it’s not made for them should be considered off topic.

>>11803837
Motu would like a word with you retard

>>11803836
the people purchasing this line, both kids and adults, deserve abdominal articulation. you sound like todd does when he justifies his sausage fest releases trying to argue that boys dont buy female characters.
>>11803838
go to /r/eddit
>>11803840
motu is dogshit. thank you from proving my point.

Just repot and ignore him

>>11803846
It's really weird how ass mad you are at the fact that complete strangers who you'll never meet buy these toys. No one is forcing you to buy them. In fact, something that fits what you describe is on its way. Probably to be shown off in 2 months at SDCC. Stop acting like a baby about a cheaper toy line not having enough articulation for you. Just wait for the collectors line and stop whin8ng like a bitch.

Is there such thing as a good Cass Cain figure? They all seem to have wildly wrong proportions

>>11803852
Mcfarlane is unfortunately the best

>>11803854
I feared this might be the case, thank you
Maybe one day we'll get an on-model Cassie...

Reuse of tooling did this sadly. No one feels like making a new mold. If Todd had made her back at the start of the line maybe it would've been possible. But now she's just Babs reuse.

>Ancient releases count as "recently"
No. Anything that is a newer preorder that isn't a 2 pack for 80 bucks sells out day 1, even if it's the thousandth reuse of a bad mold of an obscure comic like Deadman Batman. You clearly don't even follow this line.

File: lol.png (445.9 KB)

>$128 for the version with the blue shit all over him
>"still available"
Only if someone has brain damage, and I'm the guy who pays hundreds of dollars to Chinese smugglers for Sandman, Zatanna, and Starman. I paid premo for those because this shit always happens >>11803924 every single fucking time.

Why is Kalibak wearing a fallopian tubes shirt? Is that something from the comics I've never noticed until now?
I'd still pick him and some Parademons up if Todd released a decent Darkseid, but alas, the line ends with Batman spam.

I doubt the DC experiment has left McFarlane Toys with as much of a huge war chest as this guy thinks given how much they now have to charge when they used to be at $20 a figure.

>>11803968
You can tell he has some weird emotional connection to mcsharts because he’s personally met Todd a few times

>>11803969
I met Todd at a midnight game release. I can't remember which game it was, Kingdom of Avalon or something I think, I was there to pick up Resident Evil Revelations before I took a flight, and he was there signing stuff since he did the art for the game. He was kinda weird tbqh. I had a much better time meeting Greg Capullo and Stan Lee at comic con.

>>11803974
>He was kinda weird tbqh
Yeah. I’m the anon that met him at a GameStop awhile back. Told him I liked spawn and he bought me a snow cone.

imagine being so buttmad at Todd that you shill a kids line, by fucking Mattel of all people, day and night here
are you desperately hoping they sell well as like a “zing” or something, you faggot?

https://youtu.be/6OO5vnFZ940?si=yead0RrRXZoUkeTl

I think this is actually a good detection test for which reviewers are just doing reviews to make money or get free stuff and who actually has some legitimacy. Reviewers know there's a lot of "hype" around the license switch but because the kids toys release first they don't have any actual collector product to review. I think they know a lot of people will watch the reviews of the kids toys anyway, and so try to get as many views as they can out of this situation. I will most likely note which channels choose to review this stuff so I can safely ignore their reviews in the future.

Sounds like Hasbro may want to take a look at these to see if Mattel has violated any of their patents.

>>11804210
They should also look into their patented no toe joint technology they’re copying and at a cheaper price point no less. I call shenanigans!!!

Why weren't there preorders anywhere but Target?

>>11804215
Good question. My only guess is incompetence on Amazon and Walmarts parts. They have pages setup but never went live. Best explanation is it’s the weekend and the wagie hired to click publish is off.

I'm going to get it's due to them being a more evergreen product.

>>11804000
yeah it's pretty obvious the only people who give a shit who review toys for a living. this mattel baby crap is below the level of acceptability for most adults who aren't on the spectrum

>>11804217
We know Amazon has people in the cages 24-7. Plus I would think they could just set it to a specific time with no human intervention needed for the preorders to go up

>>11804219
I don't think they are going to keep the production lines open on these indefinitely, that's pretty rare for action figures

>>11804215
how often do stores run pre-orders for toys for toddlers? i don't remember imaginext pre-orders being a thing

>>11804215
because this is a baby toy meant to buy from a store like normal people do

Sold out online at target but in store is stocked

Yeah I just mean that they will be on shelves longer than the usual wave based releases. I'd guess 6 months or so before they get a new batch in.

What do you gain by lying like this?

Nope new batch minimum of every other month

>>11804274
Ok.

>>11804234
It can depend, usually cheaper kids toys just get dropped when they hit street dates, but they do get online listings usually MOTU Core and Toy Story 5 both got full drops of product when their street dates came, I suppose you could argue it's a movie thing but the new Spider-Man's merch was street dated for yesterday and I think all that went up were hulk hands and hulk mask

>>11804246
i know they're not pre-orders, i was responding to the person who said they were. read the thread you're replying to.

>>11804280
Ignore the second usually I'm dumb
Also Spider-Man was street dated for today like DC, was thinking yesterday since I was up still when the DC stuff went up

>>11804283
My apologies my blood sugar is all fucked up. Need to do something about that while I’m out purchasing my Mattel DC “6 core figures in store at target.

Got Robin. Not terrible for a $13 fig. Was curious to see how Mattel figs felt, collector quality or not. It's definitely better than a lot of the older Mattel figures I've gotten in the past. I'm ok with this as a stand in.

>>11804418
World's Finest right here. If anything, I appreciate that they used the Dan Mora design from World's Finest. One of the only times adding pants to Dick's Robin costume actually worked imo.

>>11804419
Then if anyone wanted to see any comparisons between other Robins. Here's Mafex Tim and Icons Damian. Definitely not as detailed sculpt wise as the Icons version of Damian, but still alright. I'll be curious to see how much more sculpted detail the collectors line is going to have.

>>11804419
Completely agree

>>11804419
Is Mafex Batman’s belt attached or floating? I ask because if you can remove it you could swap one of the Mattel belts on

I went to 2 targets today and they were both sold out of the core line except for batmobiles and flashes which I saw 1 left at the first target and 2 at the other. Didn’t grab anything because I don’t like chinstrap flash. I think this general has greatly underestimated how successful this kids line will be.

>>11804586
You've greatly underestimated scalpers.

>>11804586
The Target I went to by my house had seemingly two assortments. The guy looked up Robin's DPCI and had 8 of them, it said assorted though so I have to assume that it was the whole wave. I told him to grab Robin specifically which he got for me. Nothing was out on the shelves yet.

>>11804588
Cope. There’s a handful of outrageous listings on eBay from the usual cocksuckers based off of listings but that’s nowhere near enough for the sellouts I’ve personally seen and have been reading about all day.

>>11804398
I'm personally waiting for Dhunter to review them.

>>11804597
Considering he was on the verge of having a mental breakdown I can’t wait to see what that sperg has to say. Asoka the geek as well. Seeing him almost in tears after the announcement was hilarious. I guess he realized his free ride was over and he’d have to start paying for is own toys again. Doubter is at least a real one.

i saw a full peg of the new mattel stuff tonight at target. doesn't look any more interesting or particularly than what spinmaster did this year. flash has a weirdly dark skintone and warped bolts on his head. batman's belt looks super cheap. capes obviously suck. they're cheap kid toys replacing the last line of cheap kid toys. i am begging some of you to get a grip.

Even though it's not up yet, I would assume that the Bane would be the same price, so it makes a little bit more sense with the much chunkier figure, but here it's a little less justified yeah

>>11804841
You lil guys pick the weirdest things to gripe about.

Given the time BBTS just put the figures up (3am) and seemingly Amazon too, just like Target's 3am a day earlier, maybe Mattel actually did select this time as an "F you" to collectors, as they know kids don't preorder, only collectors do, and parents will buy something days, weeks or even months down the line, not the second a preorder drops.

Weird, why is everyone excited about the kids core line but they don't hype imaginext? Do they really have standards and the core line meets them but imaginext doesn't?

>>11805338
Do you even buy toys?

>>11805338
You know, I was going to type a genuine response to you but why should I even bother? We know you're doing this to just get attention. Here's your (You). Go away now.

>>11805346
Yes. However, I can see that core is below my standards, so I don't buy it.

>>11805386
Cool, why have you spent the last three days throwing a tantrum that other people are interested in the line?

>>11805389
It was only the last 1.5 days for me. And it's simple: lower standards will cause corporations to cater to those and limit the range of figures available for people with higher standards. For example, for awhile, Black Series are now allowed to have single jointed knees and elbows thanks to people's low standards.

If Mattel sees collectors are willing to buy these core figures, they will know they can cut back articulation on their collector figures in the next few years safely once they're out of the honeymoon phase and have their audience.

They have already shown proclivity to do this with Masterverse where females used to have double jointed arms but since a new female buck was introduced they went to single elbows that don't even reach full 90 degrees.

>>11805398
You are genuinely stupid and should be embarrassed that you spent any time sperging out at what complete strangers you'll never meet do with their own money. Go cry into your pillow about it Rusty Brown.

if that was true, those mattel figures would still have pins like mcfarlanes

>>11805355
oof this looks terrible

>>11805411
It's too late to roll that back, they already made the switch to pinless with Hasbro and that does not really cost much. Switching back would cost more than it's worth. But cutting articulation and paint from new figures/bucks is easily doable.

>>11805398
I picked up a Jango off Amazon and someone had swapped out the new figure with the old one. At first I was pissed and going to return it, but then I noticed the old Jango has better articulation, a better head sculpt, and more complex paint apps, so i kept him. The old one is kinda pricey, so I was a little confused by why they'd put a better figure in a box and get refund for a free but objectively worse version of the same character.
Then it hit me.
They think new is automatically better.
What a fool. Now they have a Happy Meal tier Jango, probably crammed in a shelf with a billion other Likes and Stormtroopers, while the superior version gets to enjoy valhalla in my collection with all my hot custom sith bitches.
You're absolutely right about collectors lowering their standards, and it's fucking disgusting.

>>11805189
No need to drag James Rolfe into this.

>>11805441
This retard would think that old Jango is better than the newer one. Holy shit, I can't take anything you say seriously.

>>11805441
Also, I have to point out how weird it is that you jump through these mental hula hoops to justify shit like getting an older, objectively worse figure. I have both, and the new one is miles better than the old one and the rest of the internet seemingly agrees.

>>11805451
Look, it's a collector who thinks new is always better now. I can assure you that new Leia that can barely use her legs is worse than the archive Leia with cloth goods.

File: 61b68a5494844acab3cf9a789d0aba8clg.jpg (48.0 KB)

>>11805451
The newer one has a really bright jumpsuit, and the blasters are that cheap fake silver plastic, all the blues look faded. They're probably using the same headsculpt but the new printing method is awful. The old one is solid.
Have a Taun We I haven't opened yet and waiting for this chick to ship. No idea who she is and don't care.
Star Wars is gay but the hoplite helmet design mandalorians have is cool. Not surprised someone like you wouldn't be able to fully appreciate peak aesthetics.

>>11805456
First of all, put your trip back on pussy.

Second, I have both Jangos and both Leias. Both old versions are definitely worse. Jango can barely fucking stand and despite having single knees, has better range of motion everywhere else from the neck, to the shoulders, to elbows, to the torso and hips. The old one can't even bend his elbows past 90. And Leia has an objectively worse head sculpt and the cloth robe is lazily done to the point it almost looks like she's wearing a white sheet, and lets not even get started on the "hood". The plastic dress, isn't even more limiting since it's cut on the sides allowing her legs to move fairly freely.

I'm not someone who automatically thinks new is better, in fact more times than not, I'll pass on a new version of something if I don't think it's that much of an upgrade, but sometimes new is better. The new Jango is worth the upgrade just for the fact that it has ball wrists.

>>11805464
lmao, imagine trying to justify that the left looks better than the right here. This left one is even the gaming greats one that had the better paintjob than the original.

File: Leia legs lol.png (178.3 KB)

>>11805451
I see some reviewers of the newer Jango literally having to paint the shin, knee and thigh guards themselves because Hasbro refused to. They justify it while doing so too.

>>11805471
There's nothing natural about giant plastic sheets over the back and front of her legs. Real cloth is the only way the leg movement can be natural to someone actually wearing a cloth dress.

>>11805472
Ball wrists are unnecessary when his whole thing is going guns akimbo, unless you're trying to make your Jangos jerk off in a circle to see who can fill their helmets first or whatever. Objectively the new one looks worse in ways that are unforgivable, like the Easter egg pastel jumpsuit and bright tan pouches. Thanks for posting proof the new one looks like a happy meal toy.

>>11805477
>This bitch doesn't think lateral wrist movement is needed for a character that shoots guns
If you're actually a fed, you have to be the biggest fucking POG in the agency lmao. Tell me how I know you've never handled a firearm before?

>>11805474
Sorry, but I don't need my Princess Leia to be be doing high kicks, so I'm fine. I actually prefer cloth for capes and dresses, and stuff, but Hasbro's attempt at it with the archive Leia is terrible. I generally agree with you otherwise, as long as the cloth goods are done well.

>>11805495
If you just want her standing like a traffic cone, the new one works, but more than high kicks are going to be impeded by the plastic dress

>>11805501
I can get her in a good enough running pose with it, which is all I'll ever need for ANH Leia to do other than just standing there, or standing there in a shooting pose. Sorry that my preference for the new one bothers you. Again, I'd agree with you if the archive's dress wasn't the mess that it is.

>>11805482
You really think a man who sews a phantom lady dress is handling guns?

>>11805338
Imaginext hasn’t made anything cool DC-wise in a really long time. Even their last DC blind bag line was really bland compared to what they've done in the past.

>>11805581
I guess you didn't find a gitd swamp thing, otherwise you'd think it's a decent set. The metal force series is kinda bleh, but I'm not the target audience.

>>11804839
Are the three packs up anywhere else? We dont have target here.

I did. He’s smiling, which is dumb and gay for the character. They released a proper scary one with Batman long ago tho.
And yeah the metal force ones are terrible. They’ve had fucking Killer Moth in these sets before man.

>>11805749
It's pretty frigging faggy to threaten swamp thing with murder.

>>11805775
My favorite Imaginext deep cut (and there’s more than you might think) actually relates to all this. When they first made Swamp Thing in the line, he was in a two pack with a Batman in swamp boots and a machete. Years later, in one of the non-DC blind bag series, they released this familiar-looking woman who wears the same boots and has the same backpack accessory that Batman came with.
It stands to reason they originally intended for that Swamp Thing two-pack to come with Abby. Maybe someone higher up thought including her would would make it an even tougher sell to kids, or they thought a pair best known for their acid yam vegetable sex wasn’t such a great idea either.

>>11805793
>poses just as good if not better than mcfarlane
this is a genuinely retarded combination of words in this context

>>11805809
What’s more retarded is that it is a factual statement

>>11805958
Absolute trio is a priority of the collector line per interview a couple months ago. Personally I’d only want WW. Getting any in core would be wild tho.

>>11805947
In fairness, these do seem really solid for a kids line, so if they're able to pull of something this decent at this price point, there's a feeling of "oh yeah the collectors stuff will be REAL good". I say this as the biggest mattel hater when they had the dc license but it does really look like they're giving more of a shit at least.

Shillbots out in force. The resident spook is glowing. Mattel needs this to be a win. Todd offers nothing.

File: i kneel.jpg (86.3 KB)

>>11806072
It's under the assumption that if the kiddie line is already this good then surely the collectors edition will be even better. Even as a McFarlane ride or die I will admit I'm slowly getting moved towards Mattel. If the $13 line is already pinless, once they add in the additional articulation they will most definitely be better than McFarlane. God help Todd if they come out the gate with wired capes.

>>11806077
it sounds like he's arguing with himself and doesn't know whether or not he likes it or hates it. Pretty funny stuff, the duality of a collector.

File: images-24.jpg (33.5 KB)

I have no idea what most of you guys have been saying for like 3 or 4 months because it's all insane but anyways the new toys look pretty neat but I think I'm going to save my money and wait for the collector stuff unless a cool repaint or glup shitto comes out (which seems unlikely.) I kinda want the giant Joker bazooka though...

Yeah, I'm stepping way back from collecting and wanting to focus on different things but I'm sure I'll grab one or two just to entertain myself. I see no reason to pre order or even be excited really.

>>11806114
I snagged Robin because I was interested in how Mattel has been doing over the past few years, to get an idea of what the collector line could potentially look like, and because it was only $13 and who cares about that? Also, I wanted to grab him since who knows if or when the collector line does a figure based on the Dan Mora costume he wears in World's Finest, which I actually like and think works well for a young adult, pre-Nightwing, Dick Grayson. I have to assume that the collectors version will be based on the classic costume, at least the first figure or two. The kid's line isn't really what I'm looking for but it was a nice little preview of things to come. Gave me a lot more hope for the collector line than I've had since the announcement was made.

>>11805933
>>11805931
Lots of reuse I presume?

>>11805947
They all want the free toys Mattel can provide and they are jockeying to get that lucrative deal to shill DC Mattel product, duh

>>11805907
Toddy gave you all the extra hands you asked for and only charged and extra $10 for it. This is why Todd should've stuck to his guns with the lack of accessories. The classic costume complainers are quick to turn on lines

>>11806106
After people buy something if they don't end up liking it there is going to be some mental conflict with themselves, trying to justify the purchase. Really I don't know why anyone would buy a Batmobile for a collector perspective. For kids, sure, they can have fun playing with a batmobile. But for collectors it just takes up a ton of space on a shelf and does nothing except let you sit a Batman figure in it.

Does anyone know what accessories the BTAS ventriloquist reissue will include? I assume they are omitting scarface's tommy gun in the new version of the figure. Maybe theyll include the alternate hands for scarface that were cut from the OG dc direct release to compensate for the lack of the gun.
