DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

Also, it looks like the white t-shirt supergirl is undersized for the JLU line, so she might make for a scale accurate(if style inaccurate) supergirl for a 4" scale. I';m not sure about the other supergirl though?

tbh I'm thinking of giving up and just collecting the JLU figures. they're a fun style and still small enough to be managable, and at least some will look okay with my MU figs.

Don't give up on collecting MU, dude! You've already integrated yourself as part of the Marvel 3.75" family on the Toyark. It would suck to see another Marvel 3.75" collector bite the dust.

Too big for 4 inch.

Nah I mean giving up hope for more DC 3.75"/4 inch figs

But wow thanks lol. I feel like I'm obliged to make more customs now. I guess my America Chavez turned out ok.

Some of the female figs(T-shirt supergirl for one) are undersized, and also some of the larger figs will be too scale wise since larger figs often are(more plastic, packing etc.). Also since the Young Justice figures are undersized to show them as kids, they end up being around the same size as MU figures, so you could use them as the adult versions thereof.

Ninjinister · 08-01-2016, 06:11 PM

I put JLU and YJ with my figs. I feel that they are just as oversized compared to the norm as the Infinite Heroes are undersized.

LordMudd · 08-01-2016, 06:41 PM

I have 1 JLU in my DCIH, Amazo.

CCC.

don't know if anyone's dropped it yet, but multiverse is 2.99 at Walgreens.

Speaking of which, what does everyone use for Wonder Woman's sword ans shield?

I havent come up with a shield for her yet but I use the sword that came with the 3.75 movie Sif from the first Thor movie.

Exactly. I figure if I can have IH and have them still "count" I can also can have JLU and YJ

They feel really out of place with my stuff. The articulation and the way they're designed are kind of bizarre to me.

snake5289 · 08-02-2016, 09:01 AM

I still want to know who thought those wonky arms on YJ figures were a good idea.

Probably the same moron who used to work at Playmates and made the bad decision to change the scale on the Trek line. Unfortunately even the underqualified seldom fall far from the tree.

Was surprised when measuring up some IH figures. My Black Canary was the same height as one of my MU females, I think. It's a bit random.

That's not that bad actually. For some guys that are meant to be big/tall impressive it could really work. With the right positioning you could even work in some of the DCIH figures into a display too, just under an inch isn't necessarily that huge - it's like having a 6'4 dude vs. a 5'4 dude like Wolverine. Shame there's still no decent WW in the line though - been using the Schleich figure. Need to grab the Injustice one at some point.

Hopefully I'll have a lot of fun collecting this line when I get a bit of money

Seems affordable enough, and the style is probably worth sacrificing the POA, v. Nostalgic.

Madame Warlock · 08-02-2016, 07:16 PM

Bummed they never did a Blue Beetle in this line, tho

Ninjinister · 08-02-2016, 10:10 PM

Careful with your Injustice Diana if'n ya ever get it. Mine broke easily and I'm not the only one to report that. My Catwoman broke pulling her out of the package, too. The females of the line are pretty flimsy and I was very afraid I'd end up breaking my Harl, too.

Universe · 08-02-2016, 10:16 PM

Injustice superman's leg broke instantly by bending the knee. I was done with the line immediately.

I was in the same boat with Multiverse after my Christopher Reeve Superman broke at the right shoulder whilst testing out his articulation(paint apps were perfect otherwise, which was one reason I was reluctant to replace it at first).

Then I needed to have a Batman in this scale, and I've loved the Multiverse line since.

Btw, has anybody tried heating up the figure with a hair dryer before doing anything with it?

Haven't tried a hair dryer, but putting the DCC figures in the freezer will allow you to unstick most joints. I've also heard people having success with soaking in almost-boiling water for a minute or two.
