Hopefully. That's my favorite besides the more traditional style(the style used on the Supergirl TV show and whatnot). The bare belly and New 52 versions had me convinced that you couldn't stray from that without looking ridiculous, but Injustice 2 proved me wrong.

Tempting at that price, but the reviews of that site....

So, yeah, I think I'll pass.

Edited to add:
Looks like the same company as Animepoko, which has even worse reviews somehow.

So, yeah, hard pass.

No those weren't ready.

They were announced at Toy Fair.
The ones we saw at SDCC are wave one. They had a release date of Dec 2018.
Maybe we will see something new at NYCC.
Otherwise I don't expect to see the others until next year's Toy Fair. It seems there are 4 figures to a wave so there might still be one character they didn't decide on or announce.

Ahh, gotcha! Hopefully the line sells well enough to warrant more of the roster. Quite a few more I'd be interested in.

Everyone check out this awesome pic on Instagram. (You 3.75 collectors who knows who this guy is),

Afterwards encourage this guy to give us a great DC 3.75 line. Perhaps something like the Star Wars Vintage Collection 3.75 line accompanied by a basic line (like this new Jurassic Park figure of Dave Vonner).

That's if he survives the current job cuts at Mattel.

Also BBTS has DC Injustice 2 on pre-order plus more pics...

Here are a few recent customs. I know most have mixed feelings on the recent films.
I personally enjoyed Justice League but didn't care much for BvS

oJ. At any rate, I wanted a Cavill Superman and Gadot Wonder Woman. Cyborg was just a super LBC straight repaint of the iron man line war machine. And of course they needed a villain. Eventually I'll get around to an Affleck Batman.
Getting the right color on the skirt and gloves for Darkseid was a pain, but the color was blue mixed with silver and some black, also happened to work well enough for Supes' suit and WW's skirt. Hope you all like them!

DerekSmith2003 · 07-28-2018, 05:21 PM

Another character I had to have in my collection. From the best feature-length animated Batman movie ever.

Funko is so damn incompetent they need to just go out of business. How many lines can they kill with their piss-poor strategies??

Here's a clue, guys! Release figures people want FIRST. THEN if the line is successful, you can dig deeper into the more obscure characters.

But you don't release Bookworm and Samwell Tarly in the first friggin' wave!!

suprdave71 · 08-03-2018, 02:11 PM

I remember Stan Lee always referred to Marvel fans as True Believers. I think DC movie fans are the new True Believers... we just keep the faith that WB will turn things around with the DCEU films. I personally found things to enjoy in all of the movies so far. I'd say Man of Steel was the best and Suicide Squad was the worst of the bunch.

But anyway... so looking forward to Aquaman, Shazam and WW 1984. I'll pre-order tickets as usual, hype up the movies to my friends as usual...

I hated not having a Mera in my favorite scale. So here's Aquaman's sweetie in anticipation of Amber Heard's big screen portrayal!

snake5289 · 08-03-2018, 02:21 PM

Agreed. So far the only DC movie I didn't really care for was Suicide Squad but it still had a few things I liked (mainly just seeing Katana in a movie). SHAZAM! and Aquaman are looking great and along with Venom are easily my most anticipated movies.

Great job on Mera btw.

HEY! I like Bookworm. Besides Catwoman and maybe Riddler, he is the only 66 bad guy Batgirl can go solo against. (Network censors back then would never let a man hit a woman on TV.) I am creating a library just for him.

Well done, waaay better than stock

EZTOYDUDE · 08-04-2018, 05:04 PM

Hey whats the best way to make a cape in our scale for Sup's and shazam

tlasjr · 08-04-2018, 08:13 PM

Supes is easy. Pick up a thor figure. Discard figure. Keep cape.

snake5289 · 08-04-2018, 08:38 PM

That's what I used on my Injustice Superman.

Shazam is a little trickier, and it depends on which version of the cape you want to have. If you don't mind cloth capes, you can ask for a swatch of the right color spandex at a local craft/hobby store. They'll usually give it to you free, and it will be big enough to fit. Use some gold thread or wire to fasten it to the figure. You can even paint the details on Shazam's cape if you're comfortable with that. Spandex doesn't fray, so you don't have to hem the edges.

I made one for a Shazam custom, even sewed the little hood into it.

snake5289 · 08-05-2018, 06:44 PM

Damn that Shazam looks great. I've been wanting to do the same since I first got my Injustice Black Adam but getting an extra one and painting him red made me hesitant and I never got around to it.

Super Joe · 08-07-2018, 08:39 PM

Dave Vonner takes another picture (again) of a bunch of new DC Comics.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BmEnY7TH...by=davidvonner

With so few 3.75 comic figures, maybe we can send Pine Ave Comics a $10 or $20 bill each month, for any DC Comics that can inspire Vonner to come back to comic figures?
