I'm sure this question would generate enough answers for its own thread, but why doesn't DC/Mattel want to compete with Marvel/Hasbro at mass market? Amazing Pizza Man? How about a Batman like that? Batman head, Bruce head, punching hands, gripping hands, Batarang hands and a couple of Batarangs, and a BAF part or base or something. Double joints errywhere and $20. I'd be remiss not to point out that DC/Mattel said "No more DCUC, ever!" and then put this on the shelf.
>>
>>5326450
I desperately wish for the same, and find Mattel's work to be a real bummer in-general.

Best we can probably hope for at this point is that the DC Multiverse relaunch next year takes off thanks to the new movies, and we see them start to take the line more seriously and compete with Legends.

That's just DCD's Greg Capullo designer series Year One Batman.

If that's actually from Mattel's booth, it seems like they're reusing DCC's molds, and likely will have worse paint apps.
>>
>>5326879
No it isn't, look more closely. Different head sculpt, different arm sculpts, no pegs in the upper torso, different ab-crunch, different shaped codpiece, open left-hand, ect.

They're based on the same design in the comics, but it's not a reuse, as much as it might be a better figure if it were just a DCC figure scaled down to 6 inches.

While I'll probably get both Reverse Flashes at the end of the day, I think this one is far better for giving him the red eyes, and as a result is the better figure for that much alone.

I'll probably also get Joker too. is the Bat-bot a build-a-figure?
>>
>>5326925
The tags would seem to indicate so, but no one bothered doing any coverage of this line unless it was Batman v. Superman figures, so we don't have that much to go on.

I really like the Justice Buster design, so if it is, I'll probably suck it up and buy Joker, Black Superman, and that awful looking Oliver just to finish it.

Most of the line is barely any more functional than a typical DCD release. A couple more POA isn't going to make a huge difference. That Batman has limited hips and ankles and isn't anything special at all.

As much as I wish it was there, the ball hips get more range than any other I've seen recently. I don't miss the swivel nearly as much as I thought I would. It'd be nice, but I've had plenty of fun with GA and Bats.

>>5329965
It's not any uglier than any other POA would be. In most cases they could match them with the trunks lines anyway.

I don't want to sound like a one-sided weeb, but most current figmas use internal thigh swivels so there's nothing cutting the sculpt.

Can you post a pic showing the range of the hips?
I'm willing to give it a try if the articulation is good enough, even if Batmanlet.

Only a shitlord would call you a weeb for knowing your figma on /toy/, anon. As valid a point you make, DC and Mattel are not figma. Hell, you'd most likely be inclined to counter that their not being figma is irrelevant because they could still use joints like figma does, and while that is a distinct possibility, I would argue that their doing would take the price of their figures from an "I MUST HAVE THEM" $20+ a piece to a debatable "I'd like to have most of them, but not at" $50-60 a pop. I'm not saying they're perfect. If you want perfect, go dump 3 times the price for a Revoltech or a figma. What you get though for the bargain price they are sold for is a fucking steal on our parts IMO. And I say that as someone who ordered all of pic related. If my Batman is an indicator of what I'll get out of the rest of them, Merry Christmas to me, because I'm in for a treat. The only way I could be more hype is if they do a DC Icons of Fabok's Wonder Woman design.

>If you want perfect, go dump 3 times the price for a Revoltech or a figma.
But they really don't make anything perfect. It's pretty rare for them to make something like this.

Everything in Japan is marked up like crazy. If those figures were made by a US company to US retailers, with the same standards and engineering, they'd cost about $25-$35.

pic of the rare time when a Figma/Revoltech is perfect and it cost ~$70.
To compare, Mezco's Batman is of equal quality but more expensive to produce and it only cost ~$70.
>>
>>5331039
The problem with the jap prices is the shipping.
A somewhat expensive figure at this level, 5000JPY, is just about 40 dollars but the shipping always pushes it beyond that.
I'm getting a kit now,inb4 not a toy lel, and the fuckhuge box fucking rocketed the price because of the shipping.
>>
>>5325690

Agreed. DCC screwed up the scale on these by making them 6in instead of DCC standard 7.5in. It's going to turn away a lot of DCC/DCD fans who have invested so much into a line which already has 100's of 7.5in figures.

>>5325806
Complaining about the scale issue has nothing to do with the pose-ability of the figures you fucking butt pirate.

>>5328485
>Would you guys recommend these?

Sure if you just starting out collecting. They're decent figures. If you're buying them to mix with other DC lines than no. I would pass.

I don't think it's fair to include shipping, since even western figures have some really fucked up shippnig (4H) prices.
I personally don't need stuff shipped to me, since i get most of my Japanese toys from an import shop, with discount even.

Besides, if Japanese toys (and all products) were so fucking overpriced, the shipping cost would be easier to eat, because the toy is cool (see also 4H).

>>5331299
> It's going to turn away a lot of DCC/DCD fans who have invested so much into a line which already has 100's of 7.5in figures.
The fanbase for 1:12 figures is greater though and there are people like me who collects 1:10 (and many other scales) and I'll actually buy more figures in 1:12 just because it's more compatible.

With larger scales, i usually only buy figures i REALLY like. With smaller scales I'll just buy them if I'm in the mood and/or have a passing interest.

Besides, i don't think there are many people who are so anal about scale they won't get awesome figures becacuse they're an inch shorter.

Zuh?
McFarlane's stuff never really had scale. Most of his stuff is 6' or smaller.

Most DCD stuff was about 7" in that they stand under it, but most American toys are 6".
AFAIK, the only collector companies that are consistently 7" (1/10) scale are NECA and Diamond.

you're stupid if you think the face sculpt doesn't look great. There is a ton of dc direct wonder woman figures that down right look terrible and a handful that looks way to girly. There is only one other dc direct figure that captures her strong womanhood and toughness but that's like 150 dollars USD.

It did for me (though they're more like a soft 1/10 and not 7.5"). Fuck them, they start to deliver exactly the figures we've been wanting since like 2003 and they change scale. It's not like they couldn't just continue the 1/10 scale into Icons and keep going with the heightened articulation schemes; just look at the Crime Syndicate figures they made, which were nothing short of excellent.

If they don't have loyalty to the collectors that actually propped them up this whole time and just want to go after the 6" crowd, fine. That's just that, it happens, I'm moving on. But I doubt the people who collect ML will be quite so forgiving when it comes to the QC messes that us DCD/DCC collectors have stomached for a decade. Hasbro delivers a mediocre product, but their collectors ain't seen nothing yet when it comes to what DCC will give them in the future. Let's see how long these lines last when the masses start putting out 300 page complaint threads on the major toy forums because every new wave has a major catastrophe.

My beef is that DCC is producing the end-all, be-all DC line that promises iconic looks for their top tier characters with articulation up to the gills, and they do it in a scale that goes outside the literal hundreds of other toys they've produced.

Look, I get that this is all very difficult to take in, so rather than immediately posting a reply, go grab something nice to eat, maybe re-read this post a few times, and then present a few words that actually tie into what is being said rather than misinterpretations and sub-par trolling.

Oh, because new 52 Mister Miracle is so iconic and definitive and top tier

It's a story-specific line of figures just like almost every other DCD/DCC line was artist/story specific. It's just a different scale. You are being a whiny fruit about this because you're entitled and feel abandoned because these hoes ain't loyal

They're still making articulated figures of top characters in notable looks in your preferred scale.

What I'm saying and what I think the other dude is saying it might kill the 7 inch line and make everything 6 inch like marvel legends because 7 inch line isn't doing so well like the designer series was 21 dollars and now 13 dollars. And it's not because they are poorly made, they are pretty good but I guess fans of DCC buys them but other collectors don't have any interest because of the scale. But now with the new 6 inch line new collectors can come get into DCC because it fits in with their collection and now the sales for these 6 inch goes up and the sales of 7 inch goes down DCC will eventually decide to make only 6 inch. And my only poof that 7 inch is don't badly is people calming to see the designer series on sale in Marshall's and bigbadtoystore having massive sales on 7 inch DCC figures.

Another silly "proof" is the Batman Animated Series with all the joint breakage has not had any kinda of sale on big bad toy store and still 21 dollars.
And guess what scale they are in
6 inches
NOW I know they might be a bad example because batman animated series is pretty popular but with all that QC it's still 21 dollars while designer series that only gets positive reviews from almost everyone who buys them is on sale for 13 dollars? Something is off here and DCC knows it, no wonder they are releasing the icon series in 6 inches.

What a beautiful analogy. Incredibly apt. +1000 points. ^5! Thumbs up way up!

>>5334958
>But now with the new 6 inch line new collectors can come get into DCC because it fits in with their collection and now the sales for these 6 inch goes up and the sales of 7 inch goes down DCC will eventually decide to make only 6 inch.
sure sounds like retarded paranoia.
They're still making 7" figures. Stop pissing your pants over them doing something different, just like many times before.

>And my only poof that 7 inch is don't badly is people calming to see the designer series on sale in Marshall's
Tons of toys end up in discount stores. LEGOs, Star Wars figures, TMNT, and even less popular series. All it is is some company offloading their stock, which is why I haven't seen jack shit in my area, because the offloader is likely only local to a certain state or metro region.
>>
>>5334759
Damn dude you really didn't understand what he wrote after all of that? I understood it and I can empathize because it is valid to some degree but if DC Collectibles didn't go after the 6 inch market they would really regret it especially now that Mattel shit away their opportunities and everyone is hungry for a Batman that can stand next to captain America.
>>
>>5334979
Do you get the words "assumption"?
Also it's not just marshalls, it's bigbadtoystore also and other online retailers. They having these massive 7 inch sales becausse no one is buying them.
Anyhow whatever if DCC decides to go full 6 inch I got most of the characters I line from the New 52 except a jean and t-shirt wearing superman and jim gordan batman

>>5334979
Those and the injustice figures sold poorly.
They are still on sale on bigbadtoystore. If something sells poorly, they won't continue it

What was DC Direct/Collectibles previous longest running line? The Arkham game stuff? That had a lot of support in tons of shops, wonder how the Icons and Animated lines are doing in comparison.
>>
>>5326879

Really nice posing there
>>
>>5335000
The animated line is doing amazing. It had the batmobile released and DC direct/DCC never released a vehicle before.
I think DC direct's superman and batman line was the longest before it became DCC but that was divided up into 3 lines but you are right about Arkham figures, that was the longest release as the DCC brand.
Unless there is another DC related game that's coming up I don't think DC's 7 inch line is looking too good. For 7 inch figures for preorder there is only the designer series which isn't doing so well.

Yeah, and the assumption being made is a HUGE leap into the paranoia pool.

You have no clue what you're talking about.
If the 7" figures were selling poorly, they wouldn't continue producing them. All your proof is is anecdotal shit, because you have no idea how many have actually sold and how many have been clearanced.
Also, BBTS is shit. It's cheaper for me to buy locally than buying from there. Even amazon is better, even though they charge MSRP.

>>5334994
You know shit.
The only reason they made the Injustice line in 3.75" is because the GL line was doing so great. I got this straight from Fletcher himself (the guy who basically decides what scale, style, articulation, the toys will have and even what series will exist).
The only anecdotal evidence that makes the most logical sense is the fact that companies will continue to produce something as long as it's PROFITABLE for them. So if something is actually doing poorly, like not-1/10 scale figures, it would no longer be made (like Injustice killing 3.75" lines).

And honestly, if the market wants 6", GOOD.
I've been collecting DCD toys longer than some of you have been alive, but i only collect favorites, because of scale (and articulation) issues. If they move to 1:12, I'm going to waste way more money on DCC stuff
>>
>>5335032
> If the 7" figures were selling poorly
It's already selling poorly, how many preorders are there for the 7 inch line compared to the 6 inch? Arkham games are done so there won't be any new releases. Most of arrow and flash figures are released and no new releases are being announced. There is only the designer series which isn't doing so well compare to the animated 6 inch line.
> they wouldn't continue producing them
It will happen eventually as we see the decline of 7 inch and uprise of the 6 inch lines like the icon and animated.
Like I said I really do care if they go full 6 inch but it seems to be happening and everyone and myself can see it because we are paranoid
>>
>>5335037
>I really do care
I really don't care
>>
>>5326461
I don't get why Mattel is even trying. DCC has done/are doing all of these characters with better paint, sculptwork, and equal-if-not-superior articulation for the same price point.

Batman Arkham Knight Figure - Catwoman
Batman Arkham Knight Figure - Red Hood
Batman Arkham Knight Figure - Azrael

That's 17 figures for preorder for the 7 inch line and that's including the arkham line which is ending

There are 3 for Arrow line which is 6 inches
There are 13 for the DC icon line
There are 9 for the Batman Animated line
And 3 for the Flash

That's 28 preorder for the 6 inch

>>5335037
>It's already selling poorly, how many preorders are there for the 7 inch line compared to the 6 inch?
... so you're saying that if a successful 7" line were selling 30,000 figures last year and a 7" line gets 30,000 preorders this year, because it's selling less than the more popular 6" line that sells 100,000 units it's suddenly doing poorly?
Fucking retarded. They expect certain sales and will continue producing those lines as long as they meet those minimum sales.

>Most of arrow and flash figures are released and no new releases are being announced.
How new are you?
There's ALWAYS a lull in toy news after SDCC til Toy Fair... at least, until NYCC became big enough, but there isn't much news from there anyway.
>>
>>5335072
>continue producing those lines as long as they meet those minimum sales.
A lot of the 7 inch figures are discontinued. Joker, Darkseid, red hood. At end most of the new 52 7 inch will be discounted and all we be left for the 7 icnh is the designer series. Even their WB animated film 7 inch figures like batman and son, total war are selling so poorly.
But lets see how many new 7 inch they are going to release after next year SDCC and see how DCC is NOT going to keep on releasing new animated batman figures, arrow, flash and DC icon line and continue this conversation then.

Well, I'm glad you're no longer going to be paranoid about this and will just be pessimistically rational it.
We'll see and I do hope that they do switch to 6", not only because i prefer the scale but also because I'd love to see you in greater tears.

Though, i'd rather everything be done in 1:18, but oh well! you don't see me being a big cry baby about so many amazing missed chances.

I have no idea why you keep on implying I'm sad or mad about DCC going the 6 inch route. I really don't care but it's happening and DCC is going to release a ton of 6 inch figures.
Here is red hood.
Darkseid is sold out also, the joker with his face ripped off is also being discounted. One by one new 52 7 inch goes down and down as the DC icons go up and up.

Oh, sorry, it's just hard to keep track of which Anonymous is Anonymous that I was Anonymously speaking to before that was whining about how true DCD collectors will be upset that their exgirlfriend will cheat on everyone else because they're a whiny little bitch whose love is the most purest and everyone wont true his ex like the goddess she is.
>Here is red hood.
Oh, it's the New 52 shit that even comic fans hate. That's another line the deserves to die.
>Darkseid is sold out also, the joker with his face ripped off is also being discounted
Again, you don't know how many units were sold and how many are being clearanced off. You're equating one or three places = the entirety of the line, when there are literally thousands of other stores that sold it without clearance pricing.

As said before, the only way that we'll ever know is based on what DCC themselves says (like you wrongly believing the GL line bombed just because some figures went on clearance in random store #234532, even though I was directly told by a head DCC guy it was a success) and/or watching the continuation of the production of new lines being made in not-1/10 scale, like Greg Capullo's designer series that continued to be made and other upcoming designer lines.

>>5335716
>not caring about some annoying little paranoid bitch crying that 6" ruins everything
that's a good one.

But you do agree that the 3.75 inch line is dead because the injustice line died so it's totally possible for the 7 inch line to die off and be replaced by 6 inch line.
It's a assumption and I have proved support and it's totally possible for DC direct and DCC to kill lines that don't sell. As the other anon posted there are 17 preorders for 7 inch including a line that's going away forever and 28 for 6 inch including lines that will keep releasing new figures (animated, DC icons).
And even you said
>Oh, it's the New 52 shit that even comic fans hate. That's another line the deserves to die.
Well that's another blow to 7 inch line while another is added for 6 inch line.
It's an assumption that if the 7 inch line don't sell as well like the injustice line it will be killed off.
Now you can make an assumption it won't happen but you can't call everyone "whining about how true DCD collectors will be upset that their exgirlfriend will cheat on everyone else because they're a whiny little bitch whose love is the most purest and everyone wont true his ex like the goddess she is"
You yourself can make an logical assumption but you can't just assume your assumption is more correct because you don't think online retails don't somehow don't reflect how many figures are sold out. I mean it's it's sold out and people are selling it for double it's initial price we can guess it's sold out. And DCC have been keep producing and releasing figures like the designer series 1 batman 3 times but finally they stop releasing him and that happen to red hood.
Overall assume what you feel is right but don't think your assumption is more right because you just believe 7 inch won't die because it won't .
>>
>>5336428
ALSO I"M NOT saying it will die off RIGHT NOW
i'm saying maybe if this trend of designer series going on sale, release of 7 inch declines, dc stop producing new 52 line it might be completely replaced by 6 inch figures

Any recommendations for good Nightwing figures?

Sure is pretend never happened.

>You yourself can make an logical assumption but you can't just assume your assumption is more correct because you don't think online retails don't somehow don't reflect how many figures are sold out.
So basically, you're saying that retailers are retards who keep ordering things that don't sell... which would only mean that shit will continue being made because they keep ordering poor sellers.

My entire stance is that WE do not know anything and the people making assumptions are making HUGE leaps in logic and sound like bawling "scorned ex lover"s. It's pathetic and funny.
>i'm saying maybe if this trend of designer series going on sale
Again, you don't know shit about this. Sales don't mean something is selling poorly. When a retailer quits ordering a certain line, like [b]all[/b] 7" figures, THEN you can say it's sellijng poorly. Adn even then, you only have a single retailer doing that.
YOU will never know if something does poorly until they outright cancel it or they go out and say it sold poorly. A canceled Nu52 figure being canceled only means nu52 shit got canceled, because they're still producing the not-1/10 designer lines with no end in sight.
Figures like Greg Capullo's figures from a YEAR ago going on sale doesn't mean shit when stores are still into it 2 waves later and DCD continues to announce and show off more not-1/10 designer figures that won't even be out for 8 months.
There'd be cancellations already if sales were bad enough to worry about the demise of not-1/10.

Size, proportions (length of legs compared to torso, and length of arms), poor forward range of motion on hips, misleading range of motion on torso and elbows.

If I didn't have it next to other figures that I've grown accustomed to (I suffer from Hasbro Stockholm Syndrome), it'd be a great figure.

I find it ironic that finding collector toys in specialty shops is a hundred times easier than finding Mattelshit-type toys in mass market stores, which means the value for collector toys rarely goes up all that high, inspite of them selling as little as 1/20th of the units sold for mass market shit
