I wish I was 8 again and got to grow up with these kinds of toys. The fact they come with sprues so kids can get into painting and making kits, encouraging creativity beyond just shelf filling like McFarlanes, is awesome.
My Superman when I was a kid was that clumsy 5 poa shit that looked like David Carradine with a mullet. The rest of the line was awesome and that was undeniably Superman's peak toy era but we never had a perfect Superman. The new mattel one isn't great but if I were 8 I'd have loved the shit out of that.

You know, if Matt makes a $13 Power Girl with a giant Kryptonian battle axe or a cannon that attaches to her tits, I'd buy it.
Maybe I'll stick around a little while longer to see what Matt can do.

I'm not really into Masters of the Universe but this Elseworlds cover where Superman wears a suit of armor was always cool as hell and never got a toy, so if they do some kind of crossover thing with DC it might be my best chance at getting the parts to make him.
Many anons in Detective Comics Comics General said when Matt comes he would make every good, and I'm starting to believe them.

Since the DC stuff is being handled by the guy over their WWE lines, probably pretty similar with as much reuse between the two as possible. The WWE line has basic and elite lines that reuse parts between the two and are usually in scale with eachother. Not sure how anyone can get too excited about it based on how they handle WWE--Weird variants, poor part reuse, chase variants, etc.

Too small, I guess. I don't think anyone is even doing true 1/12 anymore. China's figures tend to skew towards 7". Mafex was always bigger than 1/12, and now even the smaller skewing Figma, Revoltech, and SHF are all making larger figures than true 1/12. Is Black Series still a bit smaller? Otherwise GIJoe and ML are 6.5", MOTU was 7" and soon 6.5", same for DC from McF to Mattel. Mondo's figures are 7" (though you can argue that these characters are just that big). So ya, basically no one is doing 6' = 6" figure anymore.

depends on how you set your standards. mattel has literally never been not subpar. dcuc was behind their contemporaries, multiverse was appalling, the wwe line has barely evolved since it started all the way back in 2010 and they're still reusing parts from then.

My standards are most McFarlanes should still be $20, so I'm skeptical I will be receptive to Mattel's DC unless they're ~$23 and look as good as those MOTU Chronicles figures, with maybe an allowance for $25 if the figure has a wired cape. But I already know they will not do wired capes.

I checked around the main site and the toy site, and it looks like (so far), McFarlane hasn't reused this face, correct? So the only way to get it is from someone selling the body or someone selling just the head and at least, right now, I see people selling the monster and selling the tiny miniature, but no one selling the seven inch figure, much less just the head?
But the body looks like the same body as everything else of late? I'm horrible at telling all these distinctions apart, unlike some of you, but that's just the Silver Age buck/Fleischer Animation, and all the other recent good bodies, but with it's own modern shield and the darker blue, correct?
Thank you.

>that's just the Silver Age buck/Fleischer Animation, and all the other recent good bodies, but with it's own modern shield and the darker blue, correct?
Correct. Also, the head is exclusive to the pack. There's been other angry Supes heads (also in two packs), but they've all been different.

Thank you.
Yes, I have one or two of those head. Although I think I would call some of them more frowning or annoyed!
Someone sold me a lot of used McFarlane bodies that had the Red Son or the Rebirth buck with the angry head - from the Atomic Skull two pack, I think? I wanted the body so didn't really care, and that head is sitting somewhere. I'm starting to organize all that to decide what I want to keep and what I want to sell-off or donate.
>>11713543
That's the wrong shield and it's far too beefy for Dean Cain. And they revealed the Brandon Routh action figure this weekend, supposedly a Tom Welling is coming out so why wouldn't they do a Dean Cain before the year is out?
McFarlane can't really do a movie six pack like they did for Batman, but adding Brandon Routh with the other three they have already, they can re-use and just add two of the television guys or even really appeal to the boomer Superman fans and do one of those weird black and white figures of George Reeves as a Collectors Edition Elite Platinum or whatever nonsense designation he's currently using.

Just don't buy at release. If you only buy what you really want at release (or ones you think will sell really well) then buy the ones you want for your collection that aren't high priority on discount, then you'll probably even out at around that 22 pricepoint.

Todd couldn't fill shelves and kept burning retailers by shorting them on orders. The only real sin in retail is making customers angry and everyone kept getting their orders cancelled. Then, valuable shelf space was left empty except for dusty pegwarmers like max Mercury and vampire nightwang.
DC wants kids to be able to buy DC products but Todd could only afford to make like 5,000 of each figure and kept drifting off into collectible chase platinum variant bullshit aimed at adults.
Todd was handed a golden opportunity for half a decade and all he did with it was piss off you, me, Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon to the point we're just fucking done with him. All Mattel had to do was promise to fill shelves.

Rumor has it that Todd had a cut off date of last Fall for new figures getting approved by DC and that Dean Cain Superman and Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern didn't make said cut off date, as Todd's office got shut down for a couple of weeks due to cops investigating Todd over the Killing Joke Joker figures that went "missing".

I hate Superman Returns but it was the first movie I ever went on a date to and I remember buying this thing a little while afterwards. At least it wasn't as bad as the Snyder movies. Metropolis has never looked better, so I'll rewatch it with the sound off and fast forward through anything that isn't shots of the city with the John Williams theme playing on the computer. I'll try to go for it but won't go crazy buying one at triple MSRP the instant they go up on ebay.
Still no word about Starman Jack. He isn't even in the background of ToyFair pics. Fuck.

That's what happens when a professional organization takes over. Everything becomes standardized and homogenized, so bad headsculpts can't happen. They hire only the best. And they would never be deceptive and start off their line with the best sculpting and gradually get lazier to save on costs. That would betray the trust of their customers.

Back in 2006 it had been 20 years since a Superman movie had been made and the only tv show at the time was Smallville, who kept saying they were never going to use a costume. Returns was awful but it was the first Superman movie that'd been made since I was born.
>>
And even though I hated the costume because the S was too small, at least it sort of looked like the suit from the comics unlike the Cavill suit and the no-diving sign symbol on that new guy's suit.
Returns sucked but it was closer than anything we've gotten since or will ever get again.

>>11715636
I remember there was some JJ Abrams movie script floating around where Lex was a Kryptonian spy and it ended with them punching each other like Neo and Agent Smith. And the Tim Burton thing with the Nic Cage and the giant spider. Returns wasn't perfect but it could have been way worse.
At least it didn't end with him snapping Lex's neck.

To be fair the Superman figures tend to be a lot more generically Superman than the Reynolds lantern stuff. Brandon Routh was very clearly hired because he kind of looked like Reeve. So it's still just a Superman figure. Reynolds lantern shit was just.... unholy

I can kind of see an avenue through DC Direct for the occasional 7" figure. But it's also hard to expect Mattel to be ok with that since theyll explicitly want people to start new collections at their chosen scale, not continue an existing one, and if New figures came out in that larger scale, some may be inclined not to jump in. If not that, maybe more statues, Todd's Mods, etc.
>>

>>
>>11716256
>>11716262
I hope not if only because I want to buy a bunch of the more expensive/hard to find Multiverse figures dirt cheap when people start selling their collections to start anew with the Mattel figures.

>DC Direct
This is a trademark of Warner Brothers. Why idiots keep thinking Todd bought it or owns it, is beyond me. He will lose it the same way Kenner didn't get to keep DC Super Friends or DC Super Powers, those are all Warner Consumer Products trademarks and copyrights and they aren't going to let anyone use them - so if you see it, it will be made by Mattel or not made at all, once Todd loses the license.
At most, if you view his Marvel statues as replacements for the Marvel Selects Gallery Statutes by Diamond Select Toys, WB might allow Todd to make these for DC covers and characters in the same limited vein Hasbro hasn't cared about Todd doing them the past year plus.
Does Mattel make statues for MOTU or anything else they license own? I have no clue since I don't care.
>>11716265
They sell but worse than Pops. They are also overpriced for being essentially ugly Funkos. Some of his Marvel sell and I bet some of his sports statues are selling, but this is also the shit you see on clearance even at stores like Best Buy that are not known for clearance. I actually think they can look decent but I am getting rid of all the DTS gallary shit I own now except for my Flash and maybe one other, and I can't imagine people will want 10 of these of Spider-Man or Cap because that's a lot of fucking shelf space and that's what Todd has churned out very quickly.

DC Direct is managed under McFarlane, so it's what a lot of people are wondering. DC Direct used to make their own shit when Mattel was doing theirs and for the past 5 years, McFarlane has been releasing both their children toys and DC Direct's collector figures at the same time.
So will DC Direct continue once Mattel takes over?
Mattel supposedly has the collectors license now, but what does that even mean? Are Mezco and Bandai not allowed to make collector figures anymore? Or is Mattel just calling their more expensive "collector" figures as a marketing gimmick, releasing them in the children's toy aisle and ignoring the collector's market, which allows other companies to continue licensing it?

I hate is reuse of that lanky Donnerverse body. Someone sent me the Kingdom Come Grandpa Superman and told me to keep it when I complained AND still refunded me on eBay (and probably did a $100 claim to USPS) for that part of the auction. So I am halfway to his Crisis suit. I think it's a fucking better head than anything Mattel did but I still wish someone like CT or FondJoy would either KO or may legit licensed versions of the SooSoo Toys and other live action versions.
I still wouldn't mind an Alan Rickman toy as Hawk with multiple heads and his uniform being cloth goods, because then a normal civilian body would also pass as Reacher. And definitely a Titan's Superboy, even with a soft goods Cadamus tee, so we have one that doesn't have stick figure arms and legs.

I don't understand their login in releasing this. Are there that many people who like Death Metal designs? For the average person who is ok with it or thinks it looks cool, Todd's version was good enough and so only individuals with tons of money to spend who also love DNMetal will buy this. How many can there possibly be?

>>11719550
His arms won't go inwardly but there's some extra room laterally, so it isn't like there's no point. Also don't forget that Larsen had a bit part in this figure's approvals, it's entirely possible that he wanted more meat there for a more full pec to better match his art.

Anyone recognize this? The listing claims its a Mattel DC Universe of Wonder Woman but I'm not seeing it on Figure Realm or the one Wonder Woman fan site that listed her toys, but it's badly out of date now that I look it over.

Wouldn't surprise me, asshole who listed it was rude because I asked about the paint in the back of the head. So I just stopped talking to him. But I'm find all kinds of mistake on fodder (someone called a Witcher head a Marvel Legends Superman head).

Nah I joined their discord and realize I hate everyone who works for McFarlane Toys. They all have the same slimy, gross energy of a used car salesman. For better or worse I have no problem speaking my mind and wouldn't in good conscience be able to hype something like doll capes and unpainted backs, or artificial scarcity and gimmick elite editions meant to exploit customers.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>11720312
Doll capes are very good when they have wires. Doll capes are really the future of action figures because they add to the articulation by allowing kneeling and other non-standing poses or flying poses.
Plastic capes are very limited on toys, especially collector toys that are supposed to be high articulation, yet so many of the joints become mostly useless with plastic capes.
But you see even Mattel's kids line has doll capes. You won't be able to escape the future. Even Marvel Legends is catching on and realizing they can do doll capes to raise perceived value
>>11720344
Warehouse space is far better spent on more valuable product than toys. Right now they should expand out from their toy business into other areas, as it is a sector losing profit, as Walmart and Target know.

The first wave and the Darkseid multi-pak were exclusive. But they are now also at Walmart, I hadn't seen that WW at any Target (but the Flash is definitely a great get and I got him on sale a while back) so I picked her up at a Game Stop in the same mall.
>>11720326
>how long the shit has to sit on your warehouse
It's a warehouse in the middle of nowhere in bumfuck Ohio or Minnesota or where the fuck near Chicago they are, since their expedited packages come from the cheap (non-O'Hare) airport package hub. They probably own the land and the building. I doubt three cartons of Sonic and other similar plastic crap take can sit in sealed boxes takes up that much space. It's only when they are down to half a carton that it becomes wasteful.
>>11720445
>far better spent on more valuable product
Like what? Toasters and blenders?
Toothpaste and dog food?
You're silly, anon. They'd be Amazon in that case. At most, they could possibly expand their comic book business or get into some of GameStop's business, sell more related collectible shit - but they already do that, since they are into tabletop gaming and the Poke trading cards.
>>
>>
>>11720536
Data centers need additional infrastructure nearby. Excess power, the warehouse would need better and different insulation in at least different parts of it that would house electronics.

How do I get my Dick smaller? I was getting around to modding my Tempest cause his head sits really low and I was comparing it to Blacqualad who has the same body. I hoped I could just swap neck pegs but they're the same, the placement of sockets in the heads are different. So I looked at canon character heights and found this was done intentionally because Garth is 5'10 and Jackson is 6'1. So I looked at my Titans shelf and noticed my Dick towers over everyone. He is only supposed to be 5'10 himself but they used that flashpoint superman body 6'3. How do I take 5 inches off my Dick without cutting it up?
