No one should be thinking Todd McFarlane is their friend who's buying product that his company is making, not saying he's a really awful guy or anything and he definitely has a genuine love for toys and comics and nerd stuff, but ultimately we're buying product that his company is selling and it's just important to keep that in mind, he's not doing us a favour by putting this stuff out , think it's important to think of our passion and love for this stuff and the actual practicalites and practices of them selling and us buying this stuff like with prices and whatnot and come at the latter with a more critical lense, so people don't let their love (or obsession) with this stuff take them for a ride , with them doing this with the "collector's edition" people need to excerise restraint and wait for a sale or for them to lower prices or for them to actually add value of a £10 increase. And yeah it can't help but feel like a slap in the face when he was talking about keeping prices low a year or so ago and they do this. I don't think it will be every figure because of it being a retail line and whatnot, the classic Riddler that recently came out was a regular release so hopefully it won't become the norm

I just got into mcfarlane toys this year. My first figure was the Speed Metal Jay Garrick Flash. At first I wasn't keen in the toy line due to being 7" over hasbro's 6". But seeing the quality and detail vs legends was actually amazing. So their price points for their figures are great for the most part. 20$ for standard, 25$ for build a figures. As for the collectors edition for 30$, I think if they tweak it, get rid of the card stand, and either add more excessories like effects or hands or additional head, it would be an improvement. Still want the Alan Scott due to being a JSA fan. So I hope they hear people's critics and can meet a mutual understanding.

@Toygains yeah. That's what I give props to mcfarlane the amount of time to sculpt all that detail is impressive. Hawkman would have benefited with an extra angry head sculpt, and maybe a translucent effect to put over the mace in a swinging motion would have added a lot to him. But right now my favorites are classic Jay, classic Barry Flash, Knightfall Batman and Flash Keaton Batman. 🙂

I love where the line seems to be going. However, hitting the $29.99 price point is too high. That card holder is such a scam and though people will say, “Hey, you got lucky,” Getting the platinum edition of Alan Scott sent to me just means I have buy him again to have a normal one. There’s a lot of green paint on that glowing side of the fig and that means it can only be shot at certain angles. So not knowing that a figure you didn’t order is going to show up and cost you $30 is a scam too. I like the platinum just fine but, I didn’t order it.

Legends too me are so much better proportioned they don’t snap off they use a better plastic plus they give you variety of figures you want .

Well that statement is questionable, is he nailing the looks yes, but the articulation suck, there’s no excuse when Matel and others nailed the look of a figure and add great mobility, posing is a most, especially in 2023, I cant continue to believe the excuse that for aesthetic reasons, they have to cheat you out of movement, it’s an action figure, with no action, sometimes this only works if it’s a flash character and u can some what put him in a running position. The worst thing u can do, in the age of SH figuarts, xesray, mafex figma, and all the other imports is lack of mobility, I mean for god sake add an abb crunch that actually works. There’s only one pose for McFarlane toys and that’s standing straight, I had enough with DC, why is it that other companies outside DC can make a decent Superman Batman and Wonder Woman figure, when all DC puts out is a statue like way to tall figures, that can’t even mix with my marvel legends, McFarlane, u want to save money, make the figure smaller and a standard size with other companies. It’s bad enough comics suck, this days, and DC and warners can’t make a good superhero movie, but to continue this terrible trend of making lack of articulation action figures needs to stop. And if collectors keep fooling themselves with McFarlane figures this will never end. Stop supporting this terrible figures and send them a message. I’m done with McFarlane, he tried to do warhammer and this figures can’t even do a shooting pose, why is it that a company like joy toy, that makes 4 inch figures can nail the look of warhammer and give u full mobility and McFarlane gives u a chunk of plastic.
