  1. No one is putting the screws to me. I love the line and aesthetic and the price is right in line with everything else.

    Way way way too $$$$$$$ smh neca … 300 bucks for an empty room… no thanx 

    An empty room? It's full of devices and I can put the older lab mini-set they released a year ago. It latches onto sewer set and the street set, so this is part of a huge playset.

  2. 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.

    I don't really understand what version of Batman that is supposed to be.

    It's the Rebirth version with a lighter blue. This is the 3rd version of it. First time for the head.

    I only noticed a few hours ago that these are labeled DC DIRECT and not under the DC Multiverse line on Amazon.....so that might be why the packaging is different.

    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.

    Wild idea here. It's like a steampunk version of the power loader from aliens. There really going all out with thier warhammer 40k stuff while McFarlane is slowly chugging along. 

    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.

    Ha! Todd almost got me to buy an overpriced Vehicle for this Catwoman, but looks like she's coming out as a stand alone, not once but twice...Todd is very predictable at this point, he never just does it one and done, I seem to never feel the need to worry, if it comes with a Vechile, it will come without, if it comes masked, it will come unmasked...in a multi pack, it'll be on it's own.

    yeah I know it doesn't stand for every figure, but 90% of the time it does, or sometimes you just have to wait a bit longer.

    They may be repeats but they're all different. A completioinist nightmare.

    I'll get a Nightwing from this line if they do it. But the last of consistency is.... odd

    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.

    Because of course everyone needs to buy another set of the kids after they just completed them.  Shaking my head. 

    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.

    Maybe it's just me but... I feel like exclusives at Best Buy just seems weird.  I feel like that's been a thing before, I'm pretty sure there's been a few Star Wars exclusives in the past or something, but I can't for the life of me think of what they might have been.  Maybe it just feels odd to me because I don't really view Best Buy as a place to find figures, it certainly isn't in my toy-run rotations, but perhaps I need to reconsider that. 

    I was downright shocked a couple of weeks ago when I went in there and stumbled upon a few Super7 Ultimates on the shelves. 

    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.

    These look fun , I am curious is the Trevor and phobe the same figures as the previous line ? Does look like the pack in ghosts look much better this time around 

    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.

    For a second, I was getting excited because I thought we were getting '66 Alfred.

    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.

    Looks like a modern SUV that someone slapped a turret on top. Doesn't have near the "cool factor" of the HISS. As another person said, it's a much better comparison to the VAMP.

    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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.
