So uh, any other options for an highly articulated Superman?
I have never actually found a Superman figure worth buying.
>>5748259
maybe the mafex BvS one?
unless you hate DCCU shit
>>5748259
Highly articulated... not really, at least as far as "classic" comic Superman figures go. Pic related is hands down the most fun Superman, if that means anything to you.
>>5748259
He looks like a plastic surgeons gay failed experiment.
>>5748263
I don't mind the design, but with their qc and lack of good faces thus far, I'll wait for reviews.
>>5748288
So this guy?

How do you not know how to correctly use the word "literally?" You're stupid.
>>5748700
Arnold Superman?
>>5748889
Sorry to say, that literally now also means figuratively since earlier this year. It's literally, not figuratively, the worst thing to happen this year.
>>5748896
No, it "means" that colloquially. Just because idiots keep saying it to the point that a dictionary has to include it to explain how stupid it is doesn't suddenly mean that it also means the opposite.

Still my go to Superman. I can't believe I haven't replaced him after all these years.
>>5748259
I have seen zero pictures of the Icons Supes where it didn't look terrible, but I eyeballed it the other day in the comic shop and it didn't look nearly as bad in person. Nowhere close to the proto, but way better than in these pictures

>>5748874
The fabric Mezco uses is too thick.
There are thin fabrics that aren't completely transparent and, as a bonus, don't shine. Is cotton too expensive for them?
>>5748270
Oh fuck, it comes with the I DECIDED TO JOIN THESE ANTS head. I need this.

>>5748262
Well,I found one. and its the only proper Superman I have. not even much of a 1/6 fan, but this was just too good to pass up.
Prone to costume snagging, unfortunately.
My Harley came in but the mouth was painted on low so I had to repaint it...left a sour taste in my mouth. I shouldn't need to do that.
end result.
>>5748700
The costume and face sculpt are horrid, though.
The costume is way too shiny and looks cheap, the big plastic S is terrible. One of the worst in that line.
>>5749634
Looks good. I had to touch up the white a bit on mine.
>>5748700
I hate to say it but I agree. I think it looks a lot better in the latest photos than when it was announced and now it reminds me a lot of classic Superman artists like Curt Swan.
Also if you buy it though Sideshow, there's a discount code for July that'll knock it down to $55.
Something to consider, but I'm waiting for their Frank Miller Supes personally.
>>5749872
Yeah it doesn't look nearly as bad as everyone's making it out to be, I think it's just the price tag that's absurd. 55 ain't bad, what's the code? And is it only able to be used in July?
>>5749872
I just can't get past the costume and face. The face is really soft and has a weak looking mouth and chin, which is pretty wrong for the character and makes him look emaciated, and the costume is easily the worst cloth costume mezco has done. The fact that they went with that thick plastic S solely for the magnet gimmick is terrible.
>>5749924
16JUN316 is the current discount code. Not sure what July's is going to be.
>>5749277
You should definitely get it. Scout ebay and wait for a good price. I got mine in 2014 for like $12. People get too caught up in the articulation game these days and they skip over basic but fun figures like that.
I recently bought the DC collectibles Batman TAS Batman figure. i displayed it with the batarang in his hand, i went to go mess with the leg joint which was stiff. the batarang ended up flying out of his hand and i lost it. I cant seem to find a place that sells loose batarangs. what should i do? i dont wanna buy another batman.
>>5750346
Cut one out of plastic styrene sheets?
>>5750358
that's retarded. I just want a replacement batarang. Where do i go to find one? i'm aure someone sells them
>>5750377
>I don't wanna pay anything
>but I want stuff
And you call other people retarded?
>>5750393
first of all, i didn't call anyone retarded. Also, i don't mind buying the batarang, I just don't want to buy a whole new Batman figure just for the batarang.
>>5750400
It's all I need. Don't know why we only get 1 batarang when the New Batman Adventures figure comes with 2 fucking capes.
>>5750416
Why don't you just look for it
>>5750422
hi have tried. it's just lost i've searched for 2 hours. it's almost impossible to check every centimeter of the room. not to mention my carpet is black so makes it even harder to find.
>>5750428
Do batarangs have boomerang characteristics? It might be on its way back to you, anon.
>>5750428

>>5748259
DC Comics Icons - Superman was recently released. Great articulation.
>>5750447
Lol
>>5748708
One of the worst microman figures ever
>>5748313
never realized how weird his head looked
>>5748259
I have pic related, not greatly articulated, but the sculpt is pretty good. The New 52 costume grew on me too. The figure itself is pretty tall, he's the second tallest figure on my shelf, loses to the DB Figuarts Broly, but he really gives off that Superman feel.
There's the figuarts Injustice Superman if youre really hurting for a well articulated Superman, but i'm not a fan of his Injustice look.
>>5750447
All the shots of the release version of this, like the op shot, look pretty poor.
>>5748259
Gee Kent, BvS wasn't That bad.

I forgot I went to the theaters to see this...
>>5751411
And it was totally worth it. Best movie about bees ever made
>>5751413
There are a few that came close
So I found my batarang. I thought it flew against the wall and perhaps fell somewhere inbetween my bed and wall which is a place I cannot reach unless I move the whole room around which is a pain in the ass. Turns out it actually landed in my laundry basket right next to me. Went to go grab some clothes to throw in the washer and I saw a little black spec fall into the bottom of the basket.
Moral of the story. Never loose your Batarangs because you can't fucking replace them. You'd think someone online would sell them loose, but no. Make sure you take extra good care of them. Also don't play around with the articulation until you remove any accessories in the hand.
Bitch
>>5752388
>scarf isn't fabric so you could put it over his mouth
Not getting it. Also, I don't want to buy something that will remind me of thy terrible movie.
>>5749872
I just preordered, thanks for the heads up anon, I like it and for the price it's a no brainer for me as I loved MezBat
>>5752388
So I only wanted this and the regular Batman, but now that the Knightmare one comes with a bunch of shit for the armored version, I feel obligated to get it. Might just not buy any of them at this point.
Which do you think, the SHF or Mafex Harley Quinn will be better?
>>5752896
Are you for real? Is this like a legit question being asked? Of course the Figuarts will be better, just look at it. It looks like a mini Margot Robbie standin there. Meanwhile, Mafex is still working on loose joint issues on top of trying to achieve something even close to what their promos promise.
>>5752416
>wanting fabric on 6" figures
Disgusting
>>5752955
I prefer it. Same thing with capes. Hate that rubber garbage.
I had high hopes for the Icons Supes so now the Lee Bermejo Superman is my plan B.
>>5754023
That's a pretty good Superman. If I had to replace my DC Direct JLA one, this one would be it.
>>5754023
Is one of the wrist pegs broken, on a display model?
LOL
>>5751002
Like nobody at fwoosh thinks this looks good. Icons has never not gotten shit over there
>>5752655
There will be a bunch of people selling just the armored versions accessories on eBay, I know Im not gonna keep mine.
>>5748893
Arnold Reed Richards?
>>5754055
Knowing me and my stupid ass, I'll probably end up with all 3, if they get discounted that is.
>>5754023
This looks like it doesn't have hip articulation, and definitely no torso articulation yet. Good otherwise.
>>5754033
Haha yeah I did see that too
Just a heads up for anyone that might want the Mezco Superman, Sideshow is giving away $25 coupons on their website and the Superman pre-order is eligible. Hoping they fix the suit before release.
>>5754023
That design is trying too hard. Does supes really need all those fabric folds?
>>5754347
>Hating on Bermejo

Are there any good wonder woman figures that don't have really shitty face paint, bad hair, or a man face? Preferably with her 80's or 90's outfit?
>>5754271
They'd have to pay me $25 to own that Superman.
>>5754361
You think it looks good?
>>5748259
Is the Icons line a massive flop? I've mainly been seeing only bad things about it and I was planning on using the line to get my first DC figures. I have the JL 7 pack pre-ordered, should I just cancel it?
>>5754517
Where can you preorder that?
>>5754517
>Is the Icons line a massive flop
It's more like a massively mismanaged collapse of a good premise with high potential.
...So, yes, mostly.
>should I just cancel it
Yeah. When your flagship line is batting below .500 in worthwhile releases, is mired by constant delays, is dropping accessories across the board while raising prices, and mishandling the toy of literally the single most iconic superhero of all fucking time, you're looking at shit that isn't worth getting into.
>>5750557
Of the only two Superman figures I've seen with this design, neither of them have torso articulation. What's up with that?
Is this guy out already? Anyone have it? Everyone seems to be hating on Mafex on these threads but the faces looked like an improvement from the first version.
>>5748259
I was going to ask which Supes this was the other day, but I found him at my LCS today, and holy fuck, Icons Supes looked so good, what happened? Why does this wave, bar Harley look so bad?
>>5754540
I can't fathom what went through the minds in DCC when they discarded the advancements they did in their Crime Syndicate wave.
These are the best figures ever released by them.
Mine is pretty much exactly like the promo pics.
>>5754517
It's just wildly inconsistent.
>>5754609
It's terribly frustrating. The line they wanted to be comparable to marvel legends got gimped. They know they gimped it. Why?
>>5754688
I'll never forgive the lack of thigh swivels.
They have done good thigh swivels without ruining the sculpt before if people want to use that excuse.
>>5749619
Underrated post
>>5754609
>I can't fathom what went through the minds in DCC
I happen to be a mind reader that can peer into the past, it's a special talent hereditarily passed on to me from my uncle via kissing, so let me help you out there and peer into a conversation at the DCC offices in 2014:
>Hey Frank, Hasbro seems to be doing pretty well with their superhero figures, while we're pretty much collecting cobwebs in comic shops with ours. Any ideas on how to address that?
>Hmm... what scale are those Hasbro Legends figures again, Jim? I might have an idea.
>Uh, like 1:12, they're basically 6" or so, Frank.
>Uh-huh, 6", got it, Jim. We'll just copy that, people will love it. Hold on, I've got an important phone call coming in.
>No, wait, Frank, you see, 6" is going to be too small, and we would look bad making our heroes look shrimpy next to Hasbro's. They need to be 1:12.
>Uh-huh, 1:12, got it. I need to take this call, it'll be a long one so email me that scale thing again so I don't forget.
>O-okay, Frank.
The next day, before he could send the email to Frank, Jim died in a swimming pool accident because his skeleton was pulled out of his urethra when he stuck his penis into the drain. And thus we got pic related and it all went downhill from there.
>>5754517
No its not a flop since it's selling well in most stores
Toy just likes t ok exaggerate thing it sees mentioned once or twice from other places
>>5748259
Glad mine wasn't the only one with a fucked up face. Shame too because the rest of it was wonderful for me.
>>5754787
The thing here is that the icons are closer to actual 1:12 than ML. ML are on average a little too big for true 1:12.
>tfw you're not autistic enough to worry about Superman's eyes

>>5750831
Haha oh got you've just given this super a whole new appeal
>>5754517
I was wondering too. They have the typical DC Direct Delay where they solicit a lie and don't update for months. Wave 3 was supposed to hit in January and they dragged their feet into May or June. Also I could never actually find any of the Icons because the only places carrying then were comic shops and online stores. My LCS wouldn't order them unless I bought a whole case because toys are such poor sellers here. Plus, I don't know that we've heard much for beyond wave 3 yet so it may be dead in the water.
>>5748259
Wait for Mezco's TDKR Supes OP.
They confirmed it's coming.
>>5755676

When does the July code come out?
>>5756169
More concerned that they dragged their feet so hard on getting three whole waves out.
>>5751002
Please. Icons gets nothing but hate on that board but sucks Mattel's dick when they shit out BvS or Multiverse crap.
>>5752388
I was really surprised how the Multiverse version didn't come with the assault rifle. I guess it makes sense, considering the age range?

At this point there's literally no difference between DC Icons and Mattel in regards to fucking up a brand with shitty releases and pissing away fanbase support. I'm glad that people indirectly insult Icons by praising Mattel, because Mattel had no potential or quality from the get-go while Icons squandered away the biggest hype DC toys have had in about a decade. You tell me which is worst.
>>5757248
Knightmare Bats is December/January :)
>>5757248
Batman and Superman come out late July. At least they should.
>>5757265
Speaking of dragging their feet, did this guy ever come out? I know there was one with the S1 Blu Ray or something, but did he ever get a single release?
>>5757282
How come people get their assholes so puckered because of a delay in shipping?
Are you a fool who preorders or something?
>>5756213
>"There must be more to life."
>>5758092
>he thinks Icons is shit just because of the delays
Price increase with less accessories, accessories moved to accessory packs that cost as much as the figures themselves, fucking up Superman and Batman of all characters, still sticking to the no-thigh-swivel bullshit...
But yeah, just delays. Right.
>>5754609
That ultraman would make a sweet angry superman. The headsculpt is good and it has great articulation. I keep hoping dcc will release a repaint of it.
>>5758406
Prices increases are in figures with lots of more plastic like Batgirl or Cyborg the prices are pretty steady so far.
With the Accesories pack you are being greedy as fuck
Cant remember what the packs had but they were mainly stuff for a Flash that already came with alternate hands and a treadmill and stuff for a Green Lartern that already had a fucking suit alternate hands and lartern
Every packs comes with a little figure and some museum thingy so they arent moving anything at all or you're telling me that you wanted the Green Lartern with the suit, alternate hands, little squirrel guy, effects part and a Dr Fate Helmet for 23.99...nah man not gonna happen
The thigh swivel is whatever so far havent had any trouble but because I barely use the thigh swvel, I wished the legs go up more though
How they fuck up Batman? Hard mode no complaining about scale
Superman face may be bad but it's the best superman in terms of sculpt and articulation so far
So much hyerbole
>>5758463
>Prices increases are in figures with lots of more plastic like Batgirl or Cyborg the prices are pretty steady so far.
No, every figure they are planning on releasing now has increased in price. The MSRP for a standard release is $28 going forward. So, factually, they are increasing prices and, again, factually, they are reducing accessories.
>So much hyerbole
In your post? Yeah.
>>5758406
>a good toy becomes bad when i can no longer afford it
Fucking poorfag.
Seriously, fuck off poorfag.
I buy second hand toys all the fucking time and pay more than what they originally cost, just because i like them.
There is nothing wrong with a good toy. Only the price might be wrong, but the toy itself is still good.
If the toy isn't good? Well, shit on it all you want. I will too, but something like this is still great regardless of the price.
>>5758463
Did they actually fuck up the sculpting on Superman's face or it is just the lack of paint that makes him look lame? Not that i really cared in the first place, because all Supermans that aren't from the Dini-verse are boring. Oh, and i guess John Byrne's (up till morrison?) Superman's, since he wasn't fucking overpowered.

Rather than address literally any of the actual things being discussed, this is a real argument that you, as a typical simpleton chucklefuck, thought up to try and prove a point. Let that one sink in, ladies and gentlemen, and appreciate how far this board has declined.
>>5758483
Not sculpt, they fucked the paint in the eyes badly
>>5758472
MSRP increased but no one pays that and you know it. And the accesories haven't decreased at all.

>>5758496
at least someone can respond without talking about their butthurt.
It looks like that spotted paint apps style that Figuarts are using. Pretty sketchy.
>>5758509
It's unfair to compare it to not-MSRP, because everyone will pay different prices depending on their location. I mean, i pay less than MSRP, but if it sells out in my local stores? I'd likely have to pay MSRP or more if i count shipping.
>>5758509
>MSRP increased but no one pays that and you know it
So what will they pay? Your logic is flawed (not surprisingly) because the idea that no one pays MSRP translates to both pre- and post-price increase, i.e. a $23 figure marked down to $20 is still LESS EXPENSIVE than a $28 figure marked down to $25. So no matter what, you're paying more for the same type of figure. You fucking nitwit.
>And the accesories haven't decreased at all
So on top of not understanding logic and/or math, you're also a liar or (at best) ignorant of the things you're talking about. That's cool. Let me educate you: Flash was supposed to have 3 sets of hands (we can let this one slide because he was before the price jump announcement). Harley was supposed to come with a rubber chicken, a pie, AND a second smiling face. Wow, that's three accessories. Three seems a little bit more than the zero you were saying. Anyways, Static's jacket is now nixed according to reports and a recent con display. Joker's handgun is missing from recent solicitation images, so the assumption is that that's gone, too. And a recent instagram post of Cyborg revealed that they're already planning on dumping at least one of his accessories into a pack.
Did I miss any?
>And you didn't adressed anything else
Forgive me for not BTFO'ing you earlier. I hope this post satisfies you and shuts you up.
>>5758539
>Harley was supposed to come with a rubber chicken, a pie, AND a second smiling face.
You're dumb.
He said that they haven't decreased the accessories count and they haven't. They still come with the same amount.
>So no matter what, you're paying more for the same type of figure.
Yep, and what are you going to do about it? Everyone has increased prices and moving manufacturing to cheaper places isn't going to decrease them for us.
It's the new normal, but I'll continue to pay as long as the figures are good to great. I buy way more expensive figures than Icons, so it's no skin off my back.
>>5758539
Holy shit you are such a cunt, thinking you're hot shit but you can't even get a simple idea but keep sucking your dick like that
>>5758537
It's seems like that figuarts thing but I don't know, if you have the Icons Flash and take a look at his eyes they seem like what they were trying to do with superman but they couldn't this time
>>5758483
I hope she comes out nicely....cuz that Harley had so many paint issues.
>>5758539
Yeah, seriously. MSRP is a starting point for both manufacturers and resellers. If people think we're going to keep charging $20 as MSRP, and by extension wholesale, continues to rise, they're retarded. You might get a poorfag-acceptable price, once, as we clear out dead stock, but good luck getting the next wave because nobody is ordering these to lose money to entitled poorfags.
>>5758587
checking out my own figures, it pretty much is the Figuarts splattering of dots everywhere.
BUT, it isn't just the dots, there are actual paint apps underneath what they're supposed to be "enhancing" (highlights, shading). I guess this is why i didn't notice them.
>>5758589
Those paint issues are apparently just the benday dots. Like on HArley's lips, you can count the little dots, which makes it look like paint slop, because the lips underneath are fully painted with a pad or masking.
Later figures are being more heavy handed with the dots than the earlier ones, but they at least haven't gone full retard like Bandai did by skipping real paint apps altogether and sculpted detail.
>>5758618
I wonder if and when Hasbro is going to up the cost on their toys, since collector companies are doing it, because they're usually canaries in the coal mines.
>>5758630
They already did raise prices on Marvel Legends. That's why you're starting to see them listed for $21-$22 here and there.
>>5749628

Please kill yourselves already... When I am in a collecting mood, I might focus on character and value..... not weather or not the damn thing is "highly articulated" or not. The only time I search for specs like that is if I'm trying to find toys for my kids.

Well, my job is done here. Thanks for making an easy BTFO moment happen. It's funny how your fragile little ego is still making you defend getting BTFO by saying "They still come with the same amount" when it was demonstrated by me that five figures have had accessory reductions from when they were shown at cons. You must live a sad life, but maybe with some hard work you can improve it.
Fucking lel, this is some funny shit.

Since they haven't included more items with every release, just the same amount as they have been.
>>5759934
>Proof?
DCC's own promotional images, genius. Or if that's not good for you (it seems like autists in this thread won't give up until they're beaten down by facts and retreat) you can take it from the DC website's solicitations:

No. Please, improve your reading skills, or if you lack the cognitive skills to carry along in a conversation, don't try and rephrase what people mean because you'll just screw it up. Figures that have the higher msrp LOST accessories that had been previously shown at con appearances and solicitation images. Static, Joker, etc. There is nothing to it beyond that: you are paying more for less than what was originally shown.
>>5760185
>DCC's own promotional images
Sure is illiterati striking again.
We were talking about MLs
>They already did raise prices on Marvel Legends. That's why you're starting to see them listed for $21-$22 here and there.
Where proofs?
>Figures that have the higher msrp LOST
Yeah, sure, but they're still releasing them with the same amount of accessories as all previous figures.
Higher MSRP. Same line. Same amount of pieces.
They just didn't increase the accessory count with the higher price.
>>5760202
>Yeah, sure, but they're still releasing them with the same amount of accessories as all previous figures
This isn't even a real talking point. No matter how many times you try and push it, no matter how many ways you twist words to say it, it's bullshit. They cut accessories from what was shown. They raised prices. There was never a baseline for accessory count to begin with in the line, so you can only base it strictly on what has been shown. Your logic is dumb, but it's not surprising considering the caliber of discourse you bring here (i.e. child-like ignorance and an inability to match wits with anybody that knows their shit).
Weren't you already done being BTFO previously when you called me a cunt and thought that you could just slink away, battered and broken? you must be a masochist, because you'll never be at the advantage here, amigo.
>>5760228
>There was never a baseline for accessory count to begin with in the line
>literally all figures come with practically the same amount since wave one.
>deathstroke has 6 pieces.
>these all came with roughly 6 pieces
yep, no baseline.
You're totally correct.
I tip my hat to you, knowledgeable fellow.
>>5760337
>practically
>roughly
You know how people can write stuff without realizing that it accidentally torpedoes their entire argument?
You just did that. By saying "roughly" and "practically," you invalidate the idea that there is a baseline. Congratulations.
>>5760599
>figures from first wave have less accessories than later waves
See how that works?
And you say that they come with fewer accessories? Oh ho ho.
But seriously, budget per figure still seems to be the same, no matter how much you want to bitch at them dropping accessories.
>>5760605
>And you say that they come with fewer accessories? Oh ho ho.
No, dipshit, I said that they took away accessories that were shown.
Refute that point. Just that point, because it is the crux of everything being discussed.
No more sidestepping it with your bullshit, say point blank that they didn't take away accessories from specific characters after they were shown to have them either at cons or in promo images. Say that Harley was never shown with a rubber chicken, a pie, and an additional smiling head. Say that Static never had a jacket.
If you can't, then you're done. You have no more ammunition for your argument, just bullshit that you use to pad your fragile ego while it's getting literally raped with each and every new post. It's just you mewling into an autistic shitfit because a mentally superior person consistently one-ups you at every talking point.
>>5760614
Let's see what was originally said then
>he thinks Icons is shit just because of the delays
>Price increase with less accessories
Insinuation being that the entire line ("Icons" in general, price increase) are getting fewer accessories.
The next post >>5758463 refers to multiple early figures (the line in general) as having more accessories than later figures.
The post in response >>5758472 is also referring to the general state of the line.
Then we come to why you moved the goal with this guy stating
>>>5758509 And the accesories haven't decreased at all.
We come to the goal post movement >>>5758539 Harley was supposed to come with a rubber chicken, a pie, AND a second smiling face.
Suddenly, it's specific figures and that proves you right? Yep, that's a goal post being moved.
All the figures thus far have had roughly the same amount of accessories released. Nothing has changed, except for the price.
You're just being a bitter poorfag who simply can't like a good toy if it's priced out of your range from the weekly allowance your mommy gives you.
>>5760639
>Refute that point. Just that point, because it is the crux of everything being discussed.
So... no then? Okay. Thanks for admitting defeat in probably the most pathetic way that this board has ever seen. I like how you whimpered throughout the entire thing and then spiral into "poorfag" as a sort of insult rather than the most base level shitty meme phrase here. Then , when specific examples basically completely dismantle everything and anything you could possibly say, you claim that citing examples is, in fact, an example of moving the goal post. Because as we all know, there are no actual characters in the DC Icons line to buy, just abstract concepts.
You know what? I'll give you a second chance, because I'm nice: refute it. Next post, do it. Say that they didn't take away accessories from specific characters after they were shown to have them either at cons or in promo images.
Just say it. Let's see if you're a pussy or not, because right now all that I'm seeing is someone sidestepping every single last issue and just giving a big old "NUH-UH YOU ARE!" autist meltdown.
>>5760662
>NO! STOP TRYING TO GO BACK TO MY ORIGINAL ARGUMENT! THE GOAL POST IS HERE NOW! REFUTE IT!
uh huh
So just acknowledge that Harley Quinn from wave 26 had more planned accessories than Blue Beetle from Wave 1?
I'll acknowledge that Blue Beetle has the same amount of accessories as Harley Quinn, because these are two physical figures based on abstract concepts that were differently priced.

Hahaha, man, you got pathetic really fast. You can't even admit that they dropped accessories. You still go back to that misdirection trick about arbitrary numbers. God almighty, you are one sad sack of autist rage. The conversation was never about amount, it was about accessories being taken away that were shown. If you can't wrap your head around that, well... you earned all the autist bucks you collect from the government, I guess.
Just imagine: you have to live in a world where you can't even win an argument on the internet about toys. I can't even begin to imagine how shitty your life must be if you can't even use the power of words to win at anything, hahahaha. It's okay, you don't have to admit to anything. Just knowing that you have to live your life is satisfaction enough for me hahahaha.

I'm sorry that this is your private playground. Can you just shush up a little bit, and not bitch and whine just because you notice me?
It's really disruptive, especially when we're busy arguing that moving the goal post isn't pathetic and always a valid argument.

>Diamond doesn't count because markup
Diamond Previews is not the wholesale price. Besides, have you looked at any distribution catalogs? Have you looked at the agreement you sign when you open an account?
All I can tell you is MSRP went up and wholesale went up with it. MSRP was $20.99, now it's $22.99.
I also noticed BBTS isn't showing list price (MSRP) as often anymore. They were in line with what I saw in the solicits. I agree MSRP is often really optimistic (you should see Figuarts - ouch) but that's irrelevant to the fact that prices across the board are rising.
>>5760990
And just so this is crystal clear. When ML breaks the $20 barrier a year or two from now, $20_retail_ for them is over and gone.
>>5760990
>but that's irrelevant to the fact that prices across the board are rising
Oh, i agree, i just haven't seen it with Hasbro and I'd like to see something.
>have you looked at any distribution catalogs
Some of them those are just straight up lies, depending on which distributor you're using.
I'd like to see something from Hasbro themselves though, since they've always stated them.
Checking out their toy shop, where they will use the MSRP, they're still 19.99.
>>5758630
>hi I'm subjectanon
OH BOY HERE WE GO AGAIN.
>>5758630
look man, just because you don't like the way your body looks doesn't mean you can force your fucked up standards on everyone else. Get medicated.
>>5761019
>Checking out their toy shop, where they will use the MSRP, they're still 19.99.
I thought the general consensus was that Hasbro Toy Shop isn't Hasbro. But yeah, you have to watch, sometimes Diamond especially trues to pull a fast one, especially with imports and exclusives.
Small wonder subjectranny would defend Icons, they made one of the most popular female DC characters into a broad shouldered man in drag. It's like his dream come true.
Anyone know if DC Direct is still doing the thing where you can send a fig back if you're unsatisfied and get another sent to you?
>>5761346
Whether or not they are Hasbro, they still use the MSRP, unless it's on sale or clearance.
Checking out google, there's only one guy saying MSRP is more expensive and he might just be shilling his amazon shop
when will we get the official release dates for the Mafex BvS figures?

Coupled with the shitty dollar/yen I may just cancel.
>>5762227
Can't you email them about this issue? They seems like not assholes
>>5762227
It'll probably get delayed anyway
>>5762408
The Mafex Bank Robber Joker came out on time recently, so he could still try asking them should the two figures be in-stock by then.
>>5762413
Yeah but C3PO & R2 got delayed from May to June. But you right, worth asking at least
>>5761669
Yeah. A lot of people sent in their BTAS Batmans and Catwomans and got new ones. They were pretty apologetic and accommodating.
Can this figure do a crossed arms pose?
>>5749619

By any chance might you have a link to an explanation of the process, or is it just somewhere on the DC Direct site?

What, you a faggot or somethin'?
Looking to buy good DC Katana toy.
Why the fuck is the DCSHG SDDC 2016 version of her the best one?
All the other ones look like shit.
>>5764532
that one's from the 6in action figure line, exclusive to Target iirc
[spoiler]i'd seriously consider getting the 12in dolls, but i'm running out of space on my display as it is[/spoiler]
>>5764544
Those are literally the best 12" action figures/dolls with 12 PoA that's out right now. I'm kind of pissed we can't get 12' guys that aren't 5 PoA pieces of shit to be honest.
Hot Toys Superman from BvS is apparently out, there are reviews on Youtube. He looks fantastic, but his posability looks pretty limited, unfortunately.
Does anyone know when Batman comes out?
>>5765503
Noone knows yet, theyve had to redo it several times because he kept coming out looking like a fat faggot. Hopefully they can fix him like the way they fixed the AC Batman.
>>5765536
>fat faggot
Speaking of which, how much do you think this faggot is going to cost when he finally drops?
>>5764411
>the girl line for girls is a better toyline than the collector lines
Gee, DC, how come your mom let's you get your shit fucked twice?
>>5765648
I think going overly 'edgy' in toys vs going overly 'cartoony' in a toy can hurt it's overall appeal imho but that's just me.
This is definitely my favorite pose I've gotten so far out of Red Hood 1.0
Can someone post some comparison shots between Icons Harley and some import figures?
>>5766394
There's not a lot of cross dresser import figures to compare her with.
So are there any good Katana toys that are half as good looking and movable as the SDCC DCSHG Katana? All the others look like crap and I'm not a fan of Japanese biker gang reject look that SS Katana has.

Nevermind you're still being a complete casual for hating on a figure that is almost perfect to the comic books.
I guess no one's gonna post any shots?
>>5768235
So you just want a "female" that can peg you? Neat, thanks for sharing. It's really brave of you.

>>5768248

>>5768259
what do you call someone who's hating on one of the most famous character designs and comic book run?
A casual.
I get it, more people play the video games and watch the movies, and most of these people are soccermoms and their opinions are pretty shit, as that guy is emphasizing with everyone of this posts.
>>5768266
A casual would be someone that likes the female character du jour being shoved down everyone's throats by a tireless marketing blitzkrieg. Harley is going to be this year's Heath Ledger Joker when it comes to fake nerds dressing up for Halloween.
>>5768266
Being feminine is a female thing, enjoy your pegging, we're still amazed at how brave you are. Make sure to wave extra hard during your pride parade.
For real someone post pics ffs. I don't care how manly she it
>>5768282
Nah, a casual is someone who only likes popular things.
So something watched or bought by millions of people is very casual. Not knowing about the comics version that sold tens of thousands isn't.
It's a little sad that DC characters and their comic versions never get as much love as the Marvel counterparts.
The Marvel General is full of hundreds of fans clamouring for more comic book versions and praising them when they're given, yet in the DC threads with only 89 people, most things from the comic books is trolled like this guy >>5768285 is doing.
Does DC really attract the worst people?
>>5768309
>Nah, a casual is someone who only likes popular things
You just rephrased what I wrote, but put "nah," then put an arbitrary qualifier that excludes comics from consideration. Comic casuals are just as real as comic movie casuals, and Harley is amongst the top of the casual list (in both categories, when SS comes out).
>>5768330
>Comic casuals
This doesn't exist.
They might know something exists and read the wiki, but they know shit about the comics and the art.
On that token, you might call me a Nu52 casual, because i sure as fuck didn't read 99% of it and hated most of the redesigns outright.
Still, ignoring one of the most popular runs for the character is casual as fuck no matter how oyu look at it, because they clearly didn't even know it existed until this thread.
>>5768376
>Comic casuals
>This doesn't exist
Start a thread in /co/ where you say that.
>>5768376
I cringed when I read your post.
>>5768382
and like i said, not knowing about that Harley Quinn run is very casual.
And those people on /co/ are basically just trolls, since it's said to anyone who reads superhero comics. It's not a real response.
>>5768394
So you alone are the arbiter of an entire term, encompassing the entire hobby surrounding an industry, and the masses that made the phrase contextually relevant are not worthy to decide how it should be used.
That's two cringes in a row.
>>5748912
Any torso articulation?
>>5768399
who said that?
I sure didn't.
And I'm just using the term as normally used, as stated here
>Nah, a casual is someone who only likes popular things.
>So something watched or bought by millions of people is very casual. Not knowing about the comics version that sold tens of thousands isn't.
But tell me that comic books are popular.
Go on and i will laugh at you.
>>5754545
There's no wrist or ankle articulation either. I feel as though the DC Collectables line is more stlye over substance, the sculpt took more precedence over the articulation and that line of thought only ended up working out for the males of the line. The females came out looking like ass face wise.
>>5768417
> I feel as though the DC Collectables line is more stlye over substance, the sculpt took more precedence over the articulation and that line of thought only ended up working out for the males of the line. The females came out looking like ass face wise.
DCC is literally is style over articulation... depending on the line.
And the females are accurate to their source 99.1% of the time.
>>5768474
OH, just this?
>And those people on /co/ are basically just trolls, since it's said to anyone who reads superhero comics. It's not a real response.
I'd love to see them use it for anywhere else, and not in a troll way.
post a thread or two.
