Don't you love it when you ship your Pile of Loot, and the moment it's out of the warehouse, something new drops into your pile?


Unrelated, my Quick Kick came in.

I mean, just last year I was expecting another 3 figures to come in soon, then kept not shipping my pile ( 2 figures ) for so long that it was 'forced to ship', and the next day ( Still not yet shipped out the other stuff, but it was 'processing' ), and they came in. -_-

"You're the best looking guy here."

This is what I'd heard as well. It's a cool idea but I'm probably going to pass. $400 seems kind of steep and I'm more about the ships anyway, but who knows what kind of unlocks they'll throw at this thing.

The Ecto-1 reissue is up.

It's the one for the Ghostbusters who are reusing the old GI Joe body construction and design.

Those likely go on sale next month.

Grown up Static Shock was terrible too. Todd just doesn’t want to scale anyone. He just wants to make Batmans.

I always hear him say “Batman sells” but I see a lot of Batman figs warming pegs, while figs like Hawkman or Wonder Woman are in short supply.

Did anybody here grab that Baroness/Tomax/Xamot three pack? I'm thinking of grabbing it since I'm not too impressed by the first issue of the twins, but wonder how the swappable faces work on Baroness.

She has three heads and two hair pieces that you can swap onto any of the heads. They just slot in and stay put; if you have Zarana or Shipwreck it’s the same mechanic as for their hair.

The Twins are the same exact figures as the standard releases, the Baroness gets some minor sculpt upgrades with the double jointed elbows and all the new accessories. I was happy with it at full price, at a discount it’s even better.

Crimson Baroness is a huge improvement. Alas I just need this version in classic black.

The original Crimson twins sold poorly. So I wonder why Hasbro goes back to that well again instead of slotting in more popular proven characters for a fun exclusive? Unless they have a warehouse of extra twins they can easily redeco and need to unload, it never made much sense.

Considering they're selling for $11 I'm figuring there is exactly a warehouse full of unsold twins.

The Twins do seem to have been over produced or not as popular as expected. Their original figures go for cheap.

I like the characters so I was happy to get the crimson version with Baroness. They all look great.

For those wondering about the Dragonfly on a show or two recently Emily said we should be getting an unboxing reveal coming and the Dragonfly itself should ship around late August or Fall.

She might have been playing safe with the date as she did the same with the HISS. That shipped when it was meant to.

I bought a custom Reeve head off some instagram guy cause I'm sick of this superman poo poo. So many god awful faces with goofy rear end grins. Its like Wonder Woman, he does 80 billion variants and alternate universe versions before he gives us one normal one. I'm sure if I was him I'd also be making what I want the fans be damned but I'm not so gently caress you Todd.

Even Batman collectors must be sick of it, surely? If you’re hardcore, having to buy half to 3/4s of every wave has to be tiring and expensive.

Is there a complete list of mcfarlane DC figures anywhere? I’d love to see some data, run some numbers.

Todd has burned too many bridges, any time he tries to sculpt a hero that isn't Batman or Superman he uncontrollably sculpts the face to look like someone who wrote the character and that Todd has beef with.

He has a dark closet full of figures that look unerringly like Neil Gaiman.
