You are a hypocrite of the highest order! When you saw Todd McFarlane in person, you even approached the legend for a selfie! What for? You bash the guy constantly on your RU-vid channel, and you say nasty stuff about him all the time. Word has gotten around! Seriously, you do not deserve the VIP invitations to SDCC; they should be revoked! How dare you bash someone who has done so much for the comic book and toy industry! Todd McFarlane is a visionary, an original and a legend! Plus, he is a success story! We will formally file a complaint and request that you no longer be invited to SDCC. We will also inform Todd McFarlane about all the terrible things you have been saying about him. YOU ARE A LOSER!
Bruh, they can just keep changing the heads on those green lanterns and I will buy every single release, I'm so excited for Tomar-Re. Common Todd, focus on the lanterns!!!
What I need is an accessory pack for the first few waves of Batman 66 stuff (my sole reason for skipping the surf's up set was the lack of surf boards), and more Batman 66 villains.
I still can't find a CE wonder woman. Did anyone ask if he was going to reissue or do another version that looks the same? I gave up finding it for retail price, but I would hate to get one 2nd hand only for it to get a reissue. I also don't understand the Manhunters or the Platnium edition line. I know of the variants, so are this just more hard to get figures? So far I have only seen them at Gamestop.
Just imagine : You create a successful comic book hero (Spawn) only to make 2 figures that are related to a video game NOT AT ALL about your comic book hero...
Joaquin Phoenix Joker is definitely at the top of my list, one of those figures I know I'm going to want multiple of just to keep one fresh in the package. Also excited for Batman 66' and Alfred
Lately toy influencers specifically around DC multiverse side of things are feeling like paid employees lately they never bring the bad stuff for mcfarlane to improve for the community ive never seen any of them in person say hey todd this isn’t working or this needs to be improved like those weird chases people cant order like manhunter or the question. They just want the clout, free figures, status and recognition. You are the only one who actually speak for community and doesn’t feel like a paid mcfarlane employee so we appreciate you Shiz❤
In the UK we don't have stores that sell Mcfarlane on shelves. We don't have ollies and target etc. We can only buy online so platinum versions for us is impossible. 😢
I love prepose capes specially the ones from spawn or mcfarlane figures. If its wired cape it better pose i dont care what company you are but it better do its job . Other wise dont do it . And speaking of prepose dont mind some action figurws having some prepose parts and we.dont need like 30 points of articulation on every figures after time they just get to loose and woobly just give enough articulation according to the character .
I got my batmobile forever from back of the 90s the one that use to transform 3 in 1 batboat, batwing and batmobile and i still got with me. I remember that back in the 90s we had a batmobile from Batman forever and it was pretty solid i think probably heavy too soooo i dont if mcfarlanes will be any better and what will the price point will be..To me the batmobiles and batwings need to be made durable and heavy so i can feel i pay for something on not that cheese McDonald's plastic for kids. Lets Go Toy Shiz😎.
Great video, thank you for sharing! lotta good stuff in there. Pretty disappointed in the total lack of Super Powers reveals. That line is turning into kind of a hassle to collect, what with the weird distribution and web exclusives and all. Almost turning into DCUC 2.0: I have money. I'd like to give you my money in return for your stuff. Why can't I just get your stuff? It's really getting stupid. Also, the inclusion of Effigy, a character that has not been seen since...what?...Final Crisis? Why does that even need made? And THAT version of Shining Knight? Ugh. Would love to have heard the thought process on those two characters.
Super cool video, dude... Take a shot? Don't mind if I do! Awesome recap, man, and it was great seein' ya! Looking forward to so much McFarlane this year! Cheers! ☕
How does distribution work on store exclusives? Do the ship a certain number to each state? Each time zone? If I'm not gonna have a chance to see one in the store, I might as well buy off Amazon and Ebay while you retailers go under.
A little disappointed he didn't show anything I wanted, still super cool releases. I just love having a reason to buy McFarlane figures when he does something in my wheelhouse
Thanks to store exclusives, platinum editions, and distribution, I haven't bought a McFarlane figure so far this year. I did preorder Adam West, but that's probably going to be it this year, unless I actually see the Batman Forever wave.
You know who knows capes more than Todd? Marshall Rogers, George Perez, Walt Simonson, Art Adams, and that's just a few off the top of my head. Todd took capes to extremes, IMO. It works for Spawn since the cape is a living entity, but not just fabric capes.
Thanks for the recap! What do you think about BRZRKR Mcfarlane figures? And did you upload those great pictures of COD Spawn anywhere? Always a pleasure to watch you!
Obviously the variant for the Batman Animated line will be Hanukkah Joker. Platinums/exclusives are a necessary evil, I just wish it didn't advance to named characters like it has. Different colorings or different outfits, fine. But it's beyond annoying now that named characters are starting to be hidden behind it. More Kenner colored Penguin and White Latern Boomerang and less Blackfire, The Question, Sports master as platinums and I'd be happy.
I wish Todd would return to the aliens franchise and do more colonial Marines. And the new green lantern is a absolute winner 🏆 best way to do the platinum crap Especially if he puts in different constructs 💚😜
He can't. NECA has the license to do 7-inch figures from the Alien franchise. If McFarlane Toys DID do something for Aliens, it would probably be in the Movie Maniacs line. Those are 6 inches, and statues. But I doubt that's what you want.
What irritates me most about McFarlane is that he can't make an action figure of his own character, with the right outfit, the versions and colors are always mixed up and if you want a correct figure you have to choose the one from Mortal Kombat wich is not much pretty.
I'm right with you on your view of the platinum figures. I have found plenty of gold figures. I've only found one platinum figure in the wild and it was a line I didn't collect, Warhammer. I bought it and gave it away as a birthday gift.
That makes no freaking sense about the reasoning of store exclusives seriously We didn’t have those back in the day all of a sudden that becomes a thing and it seems like a thing major with Todd McFarlane hazard doesn’t do that with every wave It’s BS
That notion that Gold and Platinum editions help sales of other items is highly suspect. Every collector I know goes in and out of the store with one agenda: check the shelves/pegs. In fact, most collectors I know tend to separate their toy hunt runs from their normal shopping for stuff.
I personally collect movie manics but only ones that interest me, like Rocky, Wizard of Oz, the Matrix, etc and I get some of them for gifts for family members sometimes like my dad who loves rocky and the goonies I really wish he didn't make the rocky 3 ones Walmart exclusives because rocky 3 is one of my dad's favorites and im probably never gonna find them at Walmart because the Walmarts I'm near never has anything.
Nice recap! Did you at all get an answer from them why they are so heavy on platinums lately? And are platinums now only gonna be found in store with no online listing to buy or order?
Why they still use this ugly Batman mold for the animated series ? The protagonist has the worst figure of the collection. The original mold is much better, one of their best! It´s so stupid.
What I don't understand is why McFarlane wants to monopolize everything, he's making these "1/10 scale" MARVEL statues when DIAMOND SELECT "GALLERY" is already making them, if I'm not mistaken, in 1/9 scale, so why doesn't DC give DIAMOND SELECT back the DC license, so they can go back to making 1/9 statues, like they did before? How many of you want to bet that RED HOOD WON'T BE ABLE TO SIT WELL ON THE MOTORCYCLE? THAT'S McFarlane's QUALITY CONTROL, AS WE SEE WITH THE 1966 BATMAN FIGURE, THOSE ELBOW, KNEE, AND SHOULDER JOINTS THAT ALMOST NEVER HAVE A FUNCTION ARE HORRENDOUS AND AT THIS POINT McFARLANE HAS NOT IMPROVISED ANYTHING. LET'S REMEMBER WHAT McFARLANE DOES TO MAKE YOU SPEND A FIGURE. 1. REGULAR FIGURE 2. GOLD EDITION 3. PLATINUM EDITION 4. STORE EXCLUSIVE EDITION 5. CHASE EDITION 6. BLACK & WHITE EDITION 7. ARTIST PROOF EDITION 8. TWO PACK EDITION 9. JOKERIZED EDITION 1O. CONVENTION EXCLUSIVE AHH SOON NEW EDITION A : 11. STUPID EDITION
