McFarlane Toys Kryptonite Doomsday Mega Figure from Superman/Batman
hainrs replied to toynewman's topic in Action Figure News
It is a regular release. Mega sized are just figures scaled to the right size and theyre too big for the standard box. -
Valaverse Action Force Arctic Sniper Gear Pack Series 4 Review
hainrs replied to enewtabie's topic in Toy Reviews
It does in that pic but the figure isn't supposed to be standing there like a mannequin when wearing the suit. It should be in a prone position and those puffed up spots are more flat against the body like it's supposed to be when flat on the ground. I prefer the green version with the fully camouflaged figure, but this one is fine. There's also a 3rd one that was a Zolocon exclusive a couple weekends ago that combined the white and green.- 4 replies

Super7 Japanese Vinyls Kandy Kaiju Carlton Figure

I am. -
It's the Rebirth version with a lighter blue. This is the 3rd version of it. First time for the head. These are either packaging variants for the Digital NFT crap or he's refreshing the packaging. These aren't Page Punchers so they aren't DC Direct label. As expected, the Green Lantern has sold out on EE, BBTS, and McFarlane's site. Everyone wants the classic looks and they almost always sell out.

Joy Toy NEW Warhammer 40K 1/18 Scale Figures Pre-orders
hainrs replied to toynewman's topic in Action Figure News
Joy Toy has released $15,000 worth of figures/mechs in the line in less than 2 years. Around a couple hundred figures already or possibly 300. I've lost track of it all. They have a $400 battery powered Dreadnaught mech with figure about the come out any day now. This is one of the most premium lines out there. It's impossible to collect unless you're well off. McFarlane isn't really supporting the line anymore given they are the biggest sellers for him. I was surprised with the last bit he announced. -
What lack of consistency? You do realize this is an old DC Direct line from 10,000 years ago? I can't remember if they did a Nightwing (which I should given I have almost the entire line....release the Batwing and Batmobile/Bat Signal sets, McFarlane), but if they did I'm sure it's coming soon enough. Not sure why we're not getting build a figure parts with this branch of the line. The 2nd wave of the BTAS line features not only a new BAF character but the Batman and Joker are new versions, so If no Nightwing then he'll probably make one provided this line is selling.

Yes, because the first set is garbage on almost metric including the way they look. These Super7 are 7" scale and will be show accurate or much closer than the weird changes Hasbro made. Characters will be able to do things like actually hold their bow right or the ability to hold their hood. We'll also probably get a Tiamet if the sales warrant it, as well as many more characters over time.

Some Best Buys have huge toy sections. Some have next to nothing but certain stores have very large multi-aisle toy sections and they carry tons of collector oriented items with exclusives out the arse. I couldn't believe it last time I was in our BB that is like this. They had an exclusive SW diecast from the newer larger scale diecast line that I had no idea existed. It's just a repaint variant, but I had no idea since I hadn't been there in a while and no idea it was a 5-6 aisle toy section.

New Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Figures From Hasbro Revealed
hainrs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
They look like they may be a smaller scale based on the packaging and they just look smaller next to the person's hand. The heads are also much lower detail and they have that kid's line look to them. I'd be surprised if we got Plasma figs based on how the last movie figs were all pegwarmers and can still be found at certain places even with clearance prices. -
McFarlane Toys The New Adventures of Batman DC Retro Action Figures
hainrs replied to toynewman's topic in Action Figure News
Mattel did that one late in their DC Multiverse line. Just get the Alfred figure and you'll have a 1966 Alfred. It comes with 4 different heads with each one representing a different version. The others are Michael Gough, classic comic, and a more modern bald version. -
McFarlane Toys DC Direct Batman Animated Lock-Up BAF wave
hainrs replied to toynewman's topic in Action Figure News
Batman and Joker are new and not just Lock Up. Batman is from the episode Blind as a Bat and Joker is from The Laughing Fish. Also the original Joker figure from years ago didn't have yellow eyes and teeth. They were just like this one. -
Valaverse Action Force 1/12th Scale Figures and Vehicles
hainrs replied to toynewman's topic in Action Figure News
It's a real vehicle used by the military. It's a licensed branding deal. He's not trying to say it's cooler looking. He's showing them together to show off the scale. The VAMP is cool too but is kind of a bit meager looking feature wise compared with the Vanguard. However, they're all great and I'll be owning them all. Vanguard will have color releases reflecting most terrain types as time goes by. Grey won the fan vote, and he has desert now. We'll get versions in green and white and probably anything else that fits. Plus, it wasn't crowdfunded and is much less cost-wise. It proves that Hasbro doesn't need to crowdfund these items nor charge what they charge. They are 50 times larger or more than Valaverse, and they can have a greater amount of them made which will lower the cost to the customer (which is why Action Force figures are getting a price cut starting with the upcoming wave 4...the line has been a huge success and factory orders have increased which lowers his upfront costs and this allows him to sell them to us for a lower cost if he chooses...if he can do it then Hasbro/Mattel can do it 50 times over). Also, Action Force is a "nostalgia brand" too. It was GI Joe in England before it was GI Joe back in the 80s except the characters and paint deco were all different. The Sunbow show also had changes and a unique theme song. Sgt. Slaughter was Sgt. Slammer or something like that. Vala's version is its own thing, but it has it's roots in the 80s. The figure patterned after Tony at Analog Toys was in the original line I think. -
McFarlane Toys Signs Multi-Brand Licensing Agreement with Hasbro
hainrs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Page Punchers is two different scales and you only get 2 figs with the 2.5"/3" scale. I hate those figures, but there's also the 7" scale PP line, so we'll see if that happens. I didn't see anything that was official info stating it was only the smaller scale. The article mentions this, but that was from the author and wasn't clear if that was the only scale they were going with. If it is then this is a huge waste. Also, PP is actually a DC Direct brand but the 7" versions are the same as the normal DC Multiverse figs. -
DC Multiverse Classic Comic Based Wonder Woman Figure Preview
hainrs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
These figures are the exact opposite of crudely done. They are exquisite and someone must like them because there are 500+ figures in the line in 3 years and 500 more on the way at this rate. The articulation is import quality and this line is killing Marvel Legends at the moment. Legends is fine but they are in some kind of rut and putting out garbage for the most part. Anyway, I'll take these crudely done pieces of art and be on my way. -

Super7 - Thundercats ULTIMATES Ghost Jaga Figure
hainrs replied to toynewman's topic in Action Figure News
All new Ultimates (that are more desirable) are going to be going for hundreds on eBay starting from Ghost Jaga on. Brian Flynn said they aren't being ordered in mass by places like BBTS were during the pandemic and when people were spending like crazy, so if you want something you're going to have to preorder it just like pre-COVID days. The industry is simply reverting back to the way it was instead of the craziness of the Covid Rush. He said you might be able to find a few here and there but once those are gone then that'll be it and that he has nothing to sell either.
