REEEEEEEE is this Catwoman ever coming out? I read she was canceled but see her on Amazon as July 26 and then October on another site. I need this in my collection.

>>6375490
DC Icons are such high quality that they don't even come out most of the time

>>6375490
Well you're not getting it, sorry. been cancelled

Wad deathstroke supposed to be July or August? He's a highly anticipated figure for me this year.

How are the Mezco figures generally?

I'm thinking about picking up the Green Arrow one eventually

>>6377447
They feel great in-hand and look good on a shelf.

Incidentally, how much would anyone here pay for Mezco Flash? My LCS has one for $100. I'm not especially partial to the character and I feel like that's hitting a price threshold that I'm uncomfortable with given he only has "so many" accessories.

>>6377455
Mezco Flash is 81$ on amazon

>>6377447
>I'm thinking about picking up the Green Arrow one eventually

Do it but don't wait. It's already going for over retail price and it's only going to go up.

When it comes to these One:12 figures, IMO, some are outstanding and worth the money while others are pretty mediocre. Green Arrow is well worth the money. I love mine.

>>6377477
Thanks!

>>6377286
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!

>>6377455
Surely there's a character you really like in the line that you could test it out with that isn't super expensive now? Several of the figures that have already come out are still available at retail price.

The Flash is a great test character though because one of the main complaints with the line is how their cloth looks and he is basically all cloth so you'll find out fast if you don't like it. The trade for this risk is that his costume in no way hinders his articulation like some other figures in the line.

Are the Mafex BvS figures worth getting or do you guys think they'll get updated when JL comes out. I just want a decent Cavil Superman

>>6375490

Hadn't heard abouthim, he looks alright but I'm not super impressed for the price.

Wait for the updated versions. Medicom just switched to digital printing for faces since Harley, and she and Rey came out looking pretty nice.

I'm eagerly awaiting in hand pics of the 2nd WW.

>>6377867

>>6377447
Top tier head sculpts, lots of accessories, hit or miss clothing details (lowest of the low being Joker), unimpressive base bodies often with frustrating points of articulation.

yea even his description of the base bodies is way off. Seen the base bodies stripped down and it's all quality stuff. Only frustrating points are the ankles, which with every release Mezco seems to be learning from because that's people's #1 complaint

What are the best 6" Wonder Woman figures out right now that are easy to find in both stores & aftermarket?

There's always the old DC Direct Knightfall Catwoman. Looks effin' great, but she's expensive now. Plus, her knee joints are complete trash; one of mine came apart damn near the minute I opened her.

>>6378432
The Joker's suit looks pretty bad. Lots of puffiness and they made a mistake in not gluing down the jacket collar. It's really the only bad cloth thing they've done so far, where the cloth ruins the visual scale immersion (or however you want to describe the "believability" of the materials at a scale size). I think >>6378594 is also overlooking things like Dredd's lackluster hips and the prevalence of swivel hinge elbows. That one is pretty much indefensible, but I've seen warped rationales behind it that make it seem okay to get less than what is necessary. Overall though 95% of the One:12s have been amazing. You can spot a fanboy when they pretend that 5% doesn't exist.

Better to wait around for a toy that's actually worth buying, like this, than buying a half assed effort.

...he says while posting a toy that has underwear stitched to the legging. It looks like half assed shit as well, amigo.

>>6377447
second what the other guy said. Just get it. Do not wait. it's only going to get crazy expensive.

Even if you end up regretting it, you will likely be able to resell it at a profit

>>6378010
It's the Mezco one, he's clothes are real fabric.

Punisher and BVS Batman are there best ones by far. Absolutely stunning. The Cap America is... serviceable, but not nearly on the same level as Frank and Bats. I'm hoping all their next releases are of the same quality.

>>6383751
I don't have BvS Batman but I do have the previews DKR Bats and love him. I only have Batman and Frank but they're honestly the nicest figures I own. Even better than the weeb figures I have. Even the accessories are awesome. Magazines can be removed from Frank's guns and the slide on his pistol actually moves. I didn't even realize it did that until someone on here pointed it out. I want to get Cap next I think. Debating between modern and classic. I think I like moderns color scheme slightly more.

>>6383751
i was surprised how great Flash was too, he feels so good in hand and his accessories really push him over the edge. Daredevil and Green Arrow are sweet as well

>>6383811
I'm thinking about getting Reverse Flash.

yay or nay?

I got tired of Mattel's crap-ass distribution at stores and just bought a King Shark for $130 shipped.

And you know what? He ain't bad. The elbow range of motion is crap, but he's a big, good looking shark man. Would fuck.

>>6383751

Joining in the competition is the new MAFEX 3.0, which will include a sonar alt head with white eyes in place of the previous Bruce Wayne sculpt.

Tampos on the silver panels seem to have been dropped/smoothed out while the texturing on the mesh suit underneath looks more prominent than the 2.0. From what I can tell, the crotch piece has a more diaper sculpt to even out the edges of the crotch armor of the Bale suit.
Also looks to include both the sticky-bomb gun from TDK and the EMP gun from TDKR.

Honest questions, how come import companies after companies keep chugging BvS figures?

I like DC more than Marvel, their comics at the moment are legitimately better than Marvel but let's be honest BvS as a movie sucked. The fight resolution is laughable, Battfleck is mediocre, and Luthor is the worst incarnation of Luthor I've ever seen.

Who are buying these figures? Japanese normies? Western normies?

Judging by all the talk on /toy/, it's only weeaboos and asians talking about wanting shitty DC movie toys.

Pretty much the only time there was serious talk about any of the American movie toys was for Mezco's and DCC's Armored Batman figures, which is basically the only design worthwhile.
There's more talk for DCC's Icons figures than there is for movie shit, which just shows that the comics are more popular here.

>>6386678
>Honest questions, how come import companies after companies keep chugging BvS figures?
Because it's the current property being marketed?

Just like any current thing out right now, companies are quick to capitalize on the popularity of hot properties on the current market by chiming in with their own figures. Same deal with Bandai or other companies like Max Factory and Medicom making MCU toys based on whatever next movie comes out. Doesn't matter if the movie sucked or not, the fact that there's even regular discussion across various forums on these same figures show that people are buying them, both the Eastern or Western market alike.

They basically only get brought up to talk about how shit they are. It's rare for anyone to actually post those toys that they bought for themselves.

>No, you need to get out more. /toy/ isn't the only place where these figures are being discussed, like /a/ and /jp/ talkingabout the japanese movie toys.
huehuehue
Sorry, but you opened yourself up to that

And like that guy said, why is it that only Japanese companies keep churning out movie toys? The answer is pretty clear.
Mattel, DCC, Mezco, etc all end up canceling shit and Mattel's lines basically only exist on life support for one wave.

"Normies" aren't buying that shit despite the movies making hundreds of millions in profit and the only companies who have any success with movie toys are only Japanese.
Again, it's very clear cut on why this is and /toy/ proves it.

>>6387094
>Mattel, DCC, Mezco, etc all end up canceling shit and Mattel's lines basically only exist on life support for one wave.
Mattel has been shit since day one so they're hardly even on anyone's radar except for the occasional BAF/CnC or comic character fulfillment. DCC joined in too late to the game with their constant delays. Mezco clearly had limited projections on sales but somehow got proven wrong with demand for figures like Knightmare Bats (and they seem to be doing okay).

>And like that guy said, why is it that only Japanese companies keep churning out movie toys? The answer is pretty clear.
And somehow that means only "weebs and asians" buy the DC movie figures? Again, you need to get out more, /toy/ isn't the only place where these figures are being discussed (both the American stuff and the Japanese imports).

In this case, Japanese companies are filling in the void or gaps left over by American companies when it comes to movie toys. It's not hard to see why they've found a market considering the other options are either shit (Mattel) or joined in way late into the game (DCC or Mezco), and it hardly has anything to do with "weebs and their fixation over superior nippon toys". If weebs were the only ones buying DC movie toys, no one would be batting an eye towards Mezco's BvS Batman which most people consider to be the best BvS Batman figure out right now.

>like /a/ and /jp/ talkingabout the japanese movie toys
I don't know how that's even remotely meant to be funny considering how those boards don't even talk about said figures at all.

>>6387121
>Mattel has been shit since day one
Yeah, and this only proves my point, especially when you consider the fact that so many shit toys are loved despite their quality.
>got proven wrong with demand for figures like Knightmare Bats
It's still an exclusive, because shitty demand based on poor sales of the other movie figures. How did they get proven wrong?
>And somehow that means only "weebs and asians" buy the DC movie figures? Again, you need to get out more
Yes, because DC movie toys bomb in stores and various toy makers have no or little success in selling movie toys. It doesn't matter if there are forums that praise Mattel's shit up and down, when the fact remains that all those toylines are sellng so poorly toys are being canceled left and right and have little to no support at mass market.
>In this case, Japanese companies are filling in the void or gaps left over by American companies when it comes to movie toys
So you're saying "normies" are importing these toys? How delusional. The vast majority of collectors aren't doing this and you're just proving my earlier point
>Go ahead and say that the only reason they do is because the western toys are the worstest ever and how only Japan can make good toys.
>no one would be batting an eye towards Mezco's BvS Batman
You mean the toy that was one of the reasons why Mezco is limiting the sales of its movie figures and just hoping to break even by making them exclusive? Armored Batman is another reason, considering it didn't sell out at SDCC last year.

>I don't know how that's even remotely meant to be funny
whoosh.
The joke is you saying /toy/ isn't the only board that talks about DC toys. Specifically saying /toy/ implies that other boards on 4chan talk about it, thus it must be the weeaboo boards that also talk about them.
Yes, i know what you meant, but that isn't the point of making the joke, Data.

DCUC and Multiverse might have shitty paint apps and reused sculpts but I feel the people runming those lines would up the production if Matty wasn't fucking awful with their budget.

MAFEX left, Figuarts right.


If I wasn't so sure before, I'm sure of it now, but it seems like all this time the SS figures from Mafex are scaled closer to American figures like ML and Mezco's stuff. By comparison, the initial BvS Mafex figures scale better with SHF-sized imports.

>>6393254
With Mafex Batfleck. Again, people are probably better off pairing the SS figures with Mezco's Batfleck and similar American offerings since the SS figures are way too big to fit with usual import scales as seen from SHF. Hilariously, this means the SS figures won't fit normally with their initial BvS figures.

Person who took the photos said that while they prefer the Will Smith likeness for the SHF (though they say Mafex did a decent job in their own right) they still think Mafex made the better figure overall due to having actual accessories, the tampos, and most of all, the fact that it's not an exclusive.

>>6393258

Yes. Both he and flash are awesome.

>>6394053

Nicholson's Joker was a lot better in terms of source material, only issue is that his face is too squared

>>6393537

Its a moniker that Grant Morrison gave The Joker. A David bowie reference, but also in reference to his other "titles; The "Clown Prince of Crime", or "The Harlequin of Hate" or "Ace of Knaves", that sort of stuff.

And I actually do like Romero's Joker a lot, hence why I didn't write him off like the other too. He was a composite showman and artist, which is how I like Joker to be. Nicholson's was that on the surface, but really just wanted to fuck Kim basinger. Ledger laid it on thick with a high schooler's interpretation. Leto wasn't fantastic, but he was still a step up.

I hope Deathstroke turns out okay because this will effectively be my first ever Mezco figure.

I was iffy about the original release because I was never a fan of the red eye and the classic colors being put on the bulkier armors.

I was hesitent, but then they announced the exclusive Stealth Deathstroke that comes in my preferred colors. and now mmf...

I hope this is a good experience because if this works out it will be a good intro to a new line for me and it will fill that Slade shaped hole in my heart that Teen Titans left me.

Also I like original Deathstroke too but holy fuckoli, the black and gray is just sexy

>>6396128

I have both preordered. I really hope he's the dc equivilant of the mezco punisher. He looks fantastic and I really need a good slade figure.

>>6396128
Deadpool will be my first but this particular Deathstroke will be my second.

Since I have enough comic-inspired figures of him already, I picked this one since it reminded me more of the muted colors from the Teen Titans cartoon version and I've been itching for a 6-inch figure that could pass off that look.

>>6396155
>I really hope he's the dc equivilant of the mezco punisher.
Same.

>>6396130
In videos it seems that the newer stuff like Punisher has relatively good ankle pivots. I know Daredevil's ankles move pretty good.

If I recall Cap suffered pretty badly though..

>>6396421
They've been improving solidly.

Deadpool has vastly improved ankle pivot.

>>6396128
I think you'll like him. I'm personally going with the classic colors, myself, but I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Some of you might not know this but while these Lego sets may use the movie logo on the package and appear to be from the movies, they never actually are. The Marvel sets for years have never been screen accurate.

The Lego sets depicted the Mandarin from Iron Man 3 to be similar to his comic book counterpart.

should I pick up the mafex batman 2.0 cheap, or wait until SHF or mafex 3.0?
any glaring flaws for the figure?

>>6398294
Well it's Mafex so it will probably fall apart the second you try to articulate it

>>6398294
Personally I'd hold off. The 2.0, while decent in its own right, isn't really the best option for a Bale Batman at this point.

Depending on what you need, you're better off getting the SHF or Mafex 3.0, which actually looks to be on par with the SHF. Also with how Mafex has constantly improved with sturdier joints and far less QC trouble with their recent releases, I think it's a safe bet to wait for reviews of the 3.0 than settling with the 2.0.

For a long time Robin has been my favourite DC character and I really want a solid figure but I've never been able to find a good one. Is there a good, articulate figure of either Dick or Tim as Robin or even Dick as Nightwing? Talking something on par or close to SHF rather than some 5POA POS.

>>6398431
Wait with me, wait for a Mezco.

Fuck, Mezco Nightwing when?

>>6398431
Ehhhhh... No, not really. I would say the closest (and I use that word kind of hesitantly) would be the DCC Capullo Nightwing. But that came out in the time period where DCC was bumbling about and trying to understand how to make modernized figures, so there are tons of "why the fuck did they do that?" areas on it.

I have zero idea on the status of the DCC Icons Nightwing, which would be a possible contender. It seems like the whole series is becoming vaporware and DCC is just finding a way to go back to making only statues and artist specific lines.

I have a feeling that a Mezco Nightwing will be made within a year or two. Bat merchandise sells, and there's plenty of room for variants with him. Red symbol, blue symbol, more armor, less armor, etc.

>I have a feeling that a Mezco Nightwing will be made within a year or two. Bat merchandise sells, and there's plenty of room for variants with him. Red symbol, blue symbol, more armor, less armor, etc.

Ideally I want a Mezco Batfamily. But we've yet to get a regular Mezco Batman, i.e. not live action, an older version, or a first Appearance version. We need a regular version, either Bronze age based(blue cowl, yellow oval), or semi-modern(NML and beyond; with the big bat on the chest).

Then I'd like Nightwing(90's suit, with the blue chest logo), Robin(Tim Drake in the 90's Neal adams designed costume, with a OYL variant) Batgirl(probably Babs. But they can make a Steph variant since they look similar enough. Cass would be cool too, but she'd need all new sculpting so she couldn't just be a variant) and a kid Robin(Damian Wayne,with a Golden Age Dick Variant). Maybe some more extended characters like Huntress or Red Hood or Batwoman, but those are the basics. And we really need a Catwoman as well.

That's just objectively false. They're not even quite on par with Marvel Legends. They're close but they lack thigh swivels and their heads are on ball pegs without a hinge so they can just barely look up or down.

That's not to say there wasn't potential for them to be better in some ways. The way they did their torso joints could have been great if they'd given them a bit more range than they did.

When I got my Icons Flash I popped the upper torso apart with a hairdryer and dremeled out a shit ton of plastic. It didn't all of a sudden make it import-quality, but just a few minor tweaks makes the torso pretty nice. Did the same thing with the neck joint and sadly it didn't do too much.

That's just how it works.

You can't expect them to improve the figures within the next wave or the wave after that, given that it takes almost a year for them to produce them in the first place. So by the time they did improve, you dont want to give them a second chance and criticize them for that?
Even Hasbro took a couple of years to improve their ML line, which was complete shit after they took over for Toy Biz. And their eventually amazing MU line was mediocre as fuck for the first few years. The Wolverine movie line, while good at the time, was put to shame by everything after that... uptil the Avengers line.
So it goes to show that everyone takes a while to get good.

Still, point remains that they are more poseable than Hasbro MLs and that they're improving, which you'll still see in fewer releases with the future two packs.

>>6399470
I can't get any of my icons to do that, either.

I mean, you are kinda asking for someone to go grab a ML Spiderman if you really want to cherry pick and hold it as standard.

Which Icons do you have?

Like I've been saying, newer ones are better and have the new improvements. Also, skinnier girls are going to get more range from their joints because there's less muscle to get in the way of their joints.

Still, point still stands as to how better articulated they are. Even the spidermans are going to have trouble doing that.

Also, there's a post somewhere about how much better Mattel DC female figures are made, equal to female MLs, which is a joke with their single torso articulation and single hinged elbow.

>>6399560
>Still, point remains that they are more poseable than Hasbro MLs
They're not though. Had they continued to improve they may have gotten to that point, but that simply is not the case

>>6399560
>That's just how it works
It shouldn't, though. At least, not in the case of Icons. The Icons line didn't introduce anything new into DCC's arsenal, there shouldn't have been "growing pains". The torso articulation that they use was seen years prior with the Arkham City series 4 Batman. And the Crime Syndicate figures mapped out pretty well exactly how to do a fully modern figure, i.e. double joints and proper necessary swivels. DCC had the tools to make perfect figures from the get-go.

The fact that they fucked up right out of the gate with a lack of thigh swivels was a clear sign that DCC is run by morons. Now, a few years later, we're seeing just how inept they are as the Icons line is in its death throes. It's incredible to think about, but in the span of less than 30 figures DCC has fucked up far more than a shit tier company like Mattel did with DCUC. I hate the reality that we live in, this is the worst timeline of them all.

Except they have.
People complained about the upper torso joint basically being a swivel and they fixed that.
Swivel action was added to the hips, either through a cut or the extending ball-joint like Figuarts had

>>>6399626 The Icons line didn't introduce anything new into DCC's arsenal
Except it did, the entire line was dedicated toward that new articulation AND put in the 6" scale like most fans were asking for (albeit a tad smaller like Figmas and Figuarts). The lines you've mentioned weren't uniformly articulated and 6.5-7".
>DCC had the tools to make perfect figures from the get-go
Which line ever did everything right from the get go? Not Marvel Selects. Not Figuarts. Not Revoltechs. Not Figmas. Not Hot Toys. Not One:12s. Not most NECA or McFarlane lines. Nor Hasbro, or Toy Biz. All these lines and companies only saw needed improvements as time went on.
I'm not sure why you're trying to hold DCC to a higher standard.

>DCC has fucked up far more than a shit tier company like Mattel did with DCUC
What the hell are you talking about? DCC improved, whereas Mattel descended into doing nothing new and making things worse.

>>6393258
What are the chances we are getting a mafex Flash or Aquaman? I do sets and shit for figures and I have a universal tournament thing going, kinda always wanted to pair Gohan and Flash or AM and Vegeta.

Currently Wonder Woman is just laying into Vegeta right now while Darkseid/Superman combo squaring off against Freeza/Goku

>>6399707
I'd say the chances are pretty good since Mafex have already done 3 versions of BvS Batman and 2 SS Jokers. I imagine both Mafex and Figuarts will get around to the entire movie JL eventually

Just found out about the Dark Knight Strikes Back version of Flash that comes with a mini Atom and Old Man Bruce head. Is it slowly coming out to retail or going to be a super hard to find item? I really want the Bruce head for my DKR stuff.

The DC Icons JL rebirth set is only $80 on Amazon right now. I'm really fucking tempted to pick it up just because it's so cheap. I already have pic related for my JL display.

>>6400182
The problem is that the Mezco DC figures are coming along and filling a void of good figures where DC is concerned. Mattel figures don't really measure up with other adult collectibles or even Marvel Legends and somehow even when better companies make figures of DC guys (for instance the Injustice Figuarts or all those trash QC Mafex figures) they suck.

I'd say your best bet is to drop $20-$25 on Icons flash and wait to see if some of the Japanese companies make a Justice League movie Flash, if you don't hate the busy movie design like a lot of people seem to.

>>6399480
It kind of is.

>>6399473
I think you need to sand it down a bit or put in some putty, it's not my custom so I don't know.

>>6399085
They have import style hip ball joints, they rotate enough for realistic thigh movement.

I used to love thigh cuts, but this option is better, and doesn't ruin the sculpt.

>>6400159
Mezco's execution is top notch.

Their design choices are terrible and show terrible taste and disconnect from the fanbase and characters.

>that stupid semi-belt.
>that stupid Barry Allen face with chin piece.
>that stupid boot design.

Superman has a bunch of problems too on design level.

>>6400362
>>that stupid semi-belt.
Wally West had a semi belt on his costume for a while, and current Barry has a chin section on his mask.

>>6400209
I know I'm probably retarded for wanting it but is the Play Arts Flash any good?

It's the only ugly redesign I've taking a like too for it's otherworldly speed-god feel.

>>6400419
I know, it's the ugly mish mash what I take as poor design choices.

Chin strap looks bad with plain classic looking suit, they should've done n52 or rebirth suit for that, and that belt looks weird with no shiny costume, same for the head.

They don't appeal to fans of either character, except normies, do one or the other and do it right, I dislike that mezflair so much.

But normies are their audience I suppose, and it's working for them, so why change...

>>6400448

But it doesn't feel like that at all, it looks/feels like some retarded industry anime character.

Otherworldy speed god would be KC Wally.

>>6400500

It's literally wally's costume.

The only "mish mash" is having the two alt heads.

>Chin strap looks bad with plain classic looking suit
it's barely deviated from the rebirth suit. It just doesn't have the glowing ultrathin lightning lines that people don't like.

>They don't appeal to fans of either character,
Wally West fans loved this figure.

I mean, if you wanted to pick any figure to tear down for personal mezco stylization, flash is probably one of the dumbest to pick.

>>6400507
reminds me of the last thread when people complained about green arrow having brown on his costume and claiming that was never a thing.

A lot of these guys don't read comics.

With an incompatible and ugly Barry head, no sheen, wings on the boots, etc etc.

You must be blind.

>Wally West fans loved this figure.
I didn't, I know plenty who didn't either.

Only ones who unquestionably love it are the usual NECA-like Mezco shills/yesmen on Facebook and twitter, who aren't doing any favors to real fans who see the potential of these figures wasted on re-interpretations that only casuals like.

>I mean, if you wanted to pick any figure to tear down for personal mezco stylization, flash is probably one of the dumbest to pick.
Oh don't get me wrong, it's not a terrible figure, it's one of the better ones and I like it, but the design choices are *still* terrible.

I'm only commenting on this figure because it was the figure that was brought up, duh.

Trust me, I have plenty of material for all the bad Mezco figures.

And also for the good ones, I don't have enough praise for Cap Marvel for instance.

I do like some of the Mezco stuff, but wasn't a fan of Green Arrow. Its just too far removed from what I'd want in a Green arrow figure. I get that you can bring up where elements from Mezco designs originate, but when they're blended between classic and modern designs it just feels frustrating. Because when they do commit to a certain aesthetic, like DKR Batman, space Ghost, the PX fully loaded Punisher, etc, I think it looks so much better than the compromised ones. When you can connect a design to a certain era or a specific artist, it connects me more to it.

Don't get me wrong, I like Flash, as the wally West flash at least. But a lot of the design choices, especially on the Marvel end, leave me unsatisfied.

>>6400627
>With an incompatible and ugly Barry head
Which you don't have to use since it came with a wally head?

You seriously give the impression on most of these that you are reaching because you just want to bitch.

>>6400632
But its not really Wally's costume, either.

>>6400632
>Which you don't have to use since it came with a wally head?
But then I have an inaccurate Wally suit.

Mezco loves variants, they could've done both separate and accurate.

>You seriously give the impression on most of these that you are reaching because you just want to bitch.
Pier can't favorite your tweets here.

>>6400630
The material does have a slight sheen to it, and the wing molded on the boots is really going to trigger you over this? You can't even see it when you put the running lightning effects on.

>>6400631
Bro ur just a h8r.

U probably can't afford dis so u just bitchin lmao

>>6400633
It's about 98% wally's suit.

>>6400637
That's all good and nice, I'm not trashing the figure, I'm just pointing out the dumb design choices, however minimal, that *are* there.

Like I said, it's one of the better figures.

Believe me, I'd take another Flash-like approach over Ascending Knight.

Every post about the first two spiderman figures is full of people calling them shit.

The stickied post was made because of the admins being dumb as shit and getting pissy over some stupid fight over people defending bbts.

>>6401029
>Every mention of the dumbass wire cape clips is full of people calling them shit.
I think this is stupid, it's a good solution for long capes that need to drape nicely, not all capes look good with wires.

>The stickied post was made because of the admins being dumb as shit and getting pissy over some stupid fight over people defending bbts.
Huh? Really? So you're saying I can complain all I want? GREAT! I thought it was a group for pollyanas since Mezco tweeted about it and everybody seemed to be a yesmen, didn't catch any complaining so far.

But good to hear.

>>6401051
Half the capes in the line could have just come with two capes, a wired and a standard. The clip system is so horrid that no one even wants to use it, and it's more expensive to produce than just a second cape would be.

>>6401062
I imagine the development of making the capes removable in a clean way, would be difficult.

I seriously doubt it's cheaper than a couple of wires with some plastic parts.

I'm sure the difference would barely be in cents but still doubt it's cheaper.

>>6401085
It wouldn't be for most of the figures they've made with unwired capes, which are just batmen right now and one superman
Any flying character without a posable cape is incredibly stupid.

Also, the cloth with sewn in wires is definitely cheaper than the complex plastic and wire contraptions.

>>6401103
>Any flying character without a posable cape is incredibly stupid.
That's why the clips.

Wire in that BvS Supes or Batman would completely kill the drape, not to mention, wires have a lifespan.

>Also, the cloth with sewn in wires is definitely cheaper than the complex plastic and wire contraptions.
Not if that implies a second cape and the development of the removable functionality.

I hope Mezco doesn't cave in to all capes wired like the caved in to undies attached to the suit.

>>6400950
I don't like Funkos, but they're cheap and I'm not a big fan of most of the more expensive figure sculpts. Dick always seems to look angry, which just isn't an expression I associate with him so much. Same problem I have with a lot of the Superman figures.

swappable capes. You were told this already.

A huge lifespan unless you continually mangle them at sharp angles in the same places.

people said this about older wired cape figures and it never turned up being an issue.

>>6401946
>swappable capes. You were told this already.
And you were told that you didn't take into account the development and cost of this functionality, plus the cost of producing 2 capes, which with all certainty would be higher than just the clips and wires.

>it never turned up being an issue.
This is true, it's a risk though, a figure-ruiner risk.

If they could produce 2 capes and have a clean way of swapping them, then great, I'm all for it.

If it means one cape, and all capes wired, then no thanks, clips are the best option.

>>6401958
>And you were told that you didn't take into account the development and cost of this functionality,
I did. I actually work in parts fabrication, including lots of plastics. The clips are an overly complicated and expensive piece to produce.

The cost of machine cut cloth and assembly in china is MINISCULE.

>>6375370
I've wanted to get into DC stuff for the longest but I've never liked any of the options. I'm really hoping this guy delivers, I just preordered him.

>>6401971
Suuuuure, then you should know plastic is *much* cheaper than fabric and tailoring, not to mention clips are probably already made and they only buy them.

And you still missed the development and its cost of the functionality of cleanly swapping between capes, which is something you can't do right now without heavy customization in figures as they are and it *does* require a period of development that would not be cheaper than just keeping the current clip solution.

Trust me, I would love 2 capes, it's clearly the ideal option, I'm just being realistic.

>>6401988
The cloth that mezco uses for capes is NOT of a costly quality outside of maybe the bvs superman cape.

VS a complicated apparatus made of dozens of parts made from more than one material.

You really just want this to be impossible. It's obvious.

>>6401997
bvs batman cape I meant. That was specialty.

>>6401997
Do you really work this stuff?

>>6401988
>And you still missed the development and its cost of the functionality of cleanly swapping between capes
On every figure but the supermans you could literally pull the cape on and off over the neck. This is not a complicated issue.

Superman is harder, but doable via literally one or two pegs on the cape ends.

It's not rocket science.

>>6402003
*cleanly* This means, without pulling, heating, cutting strings, removing glue, etc etc, this means, the figure being made to swap capes. Basically, pop the head off, and swap capes.

You have 0 idea what it entails to make a consumer end product.

I'm not against the 2 capes idea, it's a great idea, but it's *not* cheaper nor easier than the current clip solution.

>>6402008
>the figure being made to swap capes

Yes, and, again, that requires development, development requires time, and development has a cost, as of now, their figures are not made to do that without customizing.

I think they uncancelled them, considering the June thread for DC General got a confirmation about the cancellation AND the listings were all marked as SOLD OUT. No mentiond of preorders or anything.

Now the preorders are back up and the date has changed, so its obviously been re-listed and someone here probably got an email to tell them the figure is still coming. Maybe.

Them reopening the pre-order listings means they're back in production.... hopefully.
