DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

Will · 08-03-2016, 08:50 AM

Hello
I'm a collector of the 3.75 movie scale figures, and it's a shame that this movie line is been ignorated by marvel-hasbro and especially DC-Mattel.
I think we should made a formal pettition to hasbro and mattel to come back with a decent movie line in this scale and a decent distribution for the countries.
They are giving to us crappy 2.5" toys of MCU and crappy 5" toys of DC movie universe.
In my country (Brazil) Don't even have the terrible 2.5" civil war toys.
Sorry my english.

Dude, you've got to stop posting the petition stuff.

There isn't a large enough following of DC 3.75" figures right now to even consider a petition.

The few figures we have now are awesome but we're lacking variety. Hopefully DC Collectibles will crank out some stuff for Injustice 2. I still need a Shazam and Martian Manhunter in this scale. There was a really good Martian Manhunter with MU level articulation in this scale for the old mostly mediocre line but it doesn't look as detailed compared to most figures in this scale.

tlasjr · 08-03-2016, 10:24 AM

It wont happen. if they were going to do it they would have done the "new 52" figures that won that poll by a large margin.
I think they blame the customers for their failings.
Injustice and the GL series had some hits but had rampant QC issues. I love wonderwoman but after four of them i tapped out.

The injustice figures looked great in the 3.5/4 inch scale, I as well would love to see if they crank out anymore for Injustice 2 . I grabbed figures here and there from the multiverse 3.5 line (Keaton batman unmasked was an immediate grab lol) but our stores here never got too many in stock (Terance Stamp Zod was like everywhere lol). But seeing a few of the figures on eBay that if I saw in store I would have grabbed reach reasonable prices I think its time to pull the trigger and jump in on them.

I know how you feel about not jumping on the Multiverse figures. Most of them were pegwarming but when I finally really got into the line they're not there anymore. I'm still looking for most of them.

Yep , pretty much. Haven't seen any Multiverse figures in a long time , though haven't been to a Walgreens in a long time and I know on this thread some say that's a good place for them too, worth a shot and saves on shipping.

With the way things turned out for the line I'm really glad I got what I could when I did. Like with Two-Face and Red Hood as soon as I saw those bad boys I grabbed one without even stopping.

That's always been the problem figures around here. Minus a few exceptions like Scarecrow and Black Mask I was lucky to see one once in stores and if I didn't grab it then and there I never saw it again.

I hear ya on that one , figures I saw and didn't pick up because wasn't in the budget i won't ever see again. Glad you got some of the ones you were hunting though , nothing makes a trip better then a nice score even more so if unexpected.

snake5289 · 08-03-2016, 02:29 PM

Got that right. I'm pretty sure I had the dumbest grin on my face when I saw Red Hood sitting there.

ScruffyJedi · 08-03-2016, 02:31 PM

Sometimes I get more excited than my boys when I find a piece I have been looking for lol its all the fun of it

My Raven and Cyborg did that. Luckily they're still cool figs even if I have to glue parts of the articulation away, IHs would have been much more limited. The size of the peg on Raven was shocking, no wonder she broke. My Flash has mostly been grand though.

I do hope we get more for the next game.

Was afraid of this. Went to a Walgreens and found 2 figures, not on sale, but the Marvel Legends were $5 off. Went to another, full peg of Catwoman and Knightfall and more ML than the first store, and nothing on sale.

CCC.

Might want to includeTarget, they are on clearance there, but stocked on an endcap by baby stuff. Didn't catch a price, sorry

You would think if they really wanted to get rid of it they would put it where people could find it.

I wouldn't try freezing plastic. That just makes it more brittle in my experience.
hair dryers work great

yes we already did that poll and they ignored the results

as for the QC problem
for people who have any DCC figures just look at their joints
they have clear plastic pegs which was the main problem
even before the 3.75 inch figures it was a problem
I think it was last year but they said they had fixed the problem.
Since then though they haven't made any 3.75 inch figures. So I can't say if it was resolved.

Target had already clearanced those out a while ago. Maybe yours found some old stock.
Big Lots might have some left.
Also Tuesday Morning Tuesday Morning Stores had quite a few.

Only one around here to peg warm was Zod. Saw quite a few of him at Target on more than one occasion.

Not everyone's cup of tea but these are the only new things in DC.

I do like Lex.

slim19722 · 08-03-2016, 08:40 PM

I saw some schleich DC stuff at Marshalls. Sups/Darkseid pack was $10 and singles of Batman and Superman in different poses were $5 each.

I’ll respect you position man
But with this kind of atitude the 3.75 movie line never gonna get back
If you are OK with this situation it’s all right
But at least let the people fighte to make things better than this.
I just think that we could have 3.75 basic line instead 6” basic line and maybe mattel could hear whoever is interested.
Just m opinion

Dude, you are fighting a brick wall with your forehead. At least we had a snowballs chance in Hel when Toyguru was there, which ain't sayin much.
