DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

Autobot_Goldbug · 11-08-2018, 12:58 AM

but does he have a DC license?

Super Joe · 11-08-2018, 11:19 PM

^ he has it.

joefan76 · 11-09-2018, 07:51 AM

Simply having a DC license dose t mean they can do 3.75 isn’t that funkos’ license at the moment?

Super Joe · 11-09-2018, 08:58 AM

Funko has cancelled its DC 3.75 offerings. It unfortunately also canceled the DC box subscription which gave us some pretty good 3.75 figures.

Wonder Woman being inspired by Greek Myth, can make it easy, for Mego to team up with Boss Fight Studio. BFS has many molds among their great Vitruvian Greek 3.75 figures. What existing BFS figures / parts can be re-purposed for DC 3.75 characters?

What DC license does he have? I'm betting uts limited to 8 inch vintage mego style. Like Hiya is limited to Injustice 2. The smaller the comoany the less $ available for licensing and the more specific the license.

Super Joe · 11-09-2018, 09:58 PM

Agreed. Seems to be a license for Mego's "classic" scale(s).
This can and did include other scales. Such as the new 14 inch figures like Flash in the clip below.

Another scale they did years before Kenner's groundbreaking Star Wars 3.75, Mego did comic figures for both DC and Marvel, in their own 3.75 scale. So given they did 8 inch, 14 inch, and 3.75 inch back in the day, that lattermost scale can fall in the category of "classic."

They make some awesome customs at BFS!
I was thinking of getting a few of those Greeks for Ares's foot soldiers.
I already have Amazons from them.

superb figures ^^^^^^^^^^^^

LordMudd · 11-16-2018, 03:15 PM

My order from Vort arrived. They look great but I had to drill the holes which took some time.

CCC.

Autobot_Goldbug · 11-16-2018, 03:44 PM

Nice!

Oh & this was on the side bar here today...

EBAY: Mego Fortress of Solitude Playset

I will have to keep an eye out if any more show up on ebay.

I just got a Mr. Freeze without helmet.
I think we should write in for Funko to continue the '66 Batman line.
So many characters missing...
Joker
Riddler
Penguin
the rest of the Catwomen
Commissioner Gordan
Chief O'Hara
Alfred
3 packs of goons!
Batgirl's cycle
bat-cycle
Bat boat
bat copter!
It would have been great if they could also have done Green Hornet & Kato
such wasted opportunities
what is wrong at Funko?

Their reach exceeds their grasp.

I already suggested an "80 Years of Batman" 3.75 line. They can still include that special year '66 within Batman's 80 Year Anniversary. Funko can milk more mileage out of their fully paid molds that way. Example. Add a new head and cape to the Batman '66 body to make a special "all dark 80th Batman" from the special Jim Lee logo,

Its already made. (For the most part.) Milking these fully paid Batman '66 figure molds and adding a new head / cape, can actually make 3 figures,

1. Batman 1st Appearance (black cape / Detective Comics #27 front cover).
2. Batman 1st Appearance (blue cape / Detective Comics #27 interior comic pages).
3. All dark 80th Batman Anniversary figure Jim Lee logo (Detective Comics #1,000 front cover)

Beauty of it all? Funko can still include new or old repaints from its Batman '66 line. And, open the floodgates of figures inspired by Batman's entire 80 year history. So instead of 1 generation or 1 year (1966), its all generations all years all Batmans, and then some!

LordMudd · 11-21-2018, 04:54 AM

I would rather have the variety of the rogues. For me, the concept of the superhero toy has not changed from when I was a kid. Make 4 Batman figures and 1 Joker figure. So what does Batman do after he finally puts Joker in jail? Hang by his heels from the roof of the Batcave until Joker gets out? Boring. Not what a toy line is supposed to be. Besides, they promised us rogues, and this is not the first time they have failed to deliver on a promise in the companies short lifespan. Not too good for the reputation.

Super Joe · 11-21-2018, 03:36 PM

If not Funko there's still Mego. With BFS's Lacuna wings, a Stan Lee Batman can be made,

Better off getting the Gargoyle, you get 2 heads and the other head would probably custom over better, but you would need to drill holes in the shoulder blades for the wings. Good news is you get 2 sets of wings, one out and one folded.

I prefer the Injustice Superman even though it's a little on the smaller side.
