Mattel did it for the Marvel license says Bloomberg. So we're discussing how past Marvel Universe 3.75 promoter Dave Vonner (now at Mattel) can champion back the greater 3.75 scale. A big MattyCollector Helicarrier by Vonner, doubling as a Top Gun 2020 carrier by Bobby Vala, is as possible as a Jabba Barge. Feel free to add to that idea or the discussion here.

MattyCollector Helicarrier
Just re-size the film Helicarrier's "digital assets" to 3.75 inch scale. Get veteran Vonner to add detail with his famous Toy Biz level ZBrush digital sculpting. Of whose new software adds ever more crazy detail than this pic (below). Present exciting plan to Disney / Marvel for the latter's coveted license in 2020, |

Hi, everyone. Love the thread, follow the chatter and would like to be involved. Been a huge Batman fan since the sandbox and have continued collecting DC figures through the years and even got into customizing. Im nowhere near as versed in some of the marketing techniques and company differences as some of you, but it's all interesting stuff, especially since Hasbro and Mattel have seemingly ditched 3.75 products, which is my main interest.i have lots of customs I'd like to share and join in the conversations if the group is cool with it. Thanks!

You could make a mold of Orm's head and cast it for other figures. The Manta figure sucks because he doesn't even look where he is shooting, but you could recast his head as well.

I'm glad DCC doesn't use nitroglycerin in their products anymore.

Just FYI, Amazon's got some Hiya Injustice 2 figures back up for pre-order(some of them went down after a while). Same price as before, and with the possibility of free shipping if your order is high enough(which usually means $25 or more).

I long for the day when this thread is primarily back to being about actual, currently-produced-and-sold 1:18 DC character action figures. I'm glad at least Hiya is making these. That said, I saw this guy on clearance at my Gamestop, and I realized what a great Ra's al Ghul he would make. Ra's costume has morphed so much, he could pretty much be a straight repaint of the Collector. FYI, all the clearance at Gamestops (around middle TN, anyway) have gone to 50% off, rather than B1G1 as they were a few days ago. |

God I wish we were getting Young Justice Season 3 toys. The old ones scale well as "adult" versions of the characters, but there's some new chars that would be fun to have.
Still trying to find the martians for a decent price.

Just a WIP, but I used the dremel on the BK Manta figure to cut the head off and it looks pretty good on the Fortnite Omega body. Got a second Manta coming to see if I can dremel it off a little better.

Wow that already looks pretty damn spot on. The Fortnite guy is a really good substitute.

Five Below has some of the Schleich DC Comic 2pks(Batman vs Bane, Superman vs Lex Luther). Picked up the Luther pack for the headsculpt which is a perfect size for the new MTF Agency Ops figures(skin tones are slightly different) and although the price tag has them for $5, they actually rang up at $3.
