DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

Does anyone know where to buy figure stands for the Spin Master stuff? The peg holes are too big for the stands I have.

Once scalpy dicks horn in on a line, the good times are over. Which really sucks for this line because they're actually toys, priced appropriately, and not some hyper-articulated exercise in fragility or over-priced blatant nostalgia wank-fest.

Yeah, a big part of the fun was finding the toys in store like the old days. I don't mind missing out because others bought them before I got there, but it gets frustrating and defeating to miss out on something because it either never showed up in your area in the first place or miss it and later discover someone in your town is scalping them on ebay.

I’ve got some FIERCE competition in my area in terms of other collectors. I remember going to TRU right as it opened and another collector was inside opening a box of the figures I wanted, must have been on good terms with the employees. He was pretty cool tho and let me snag what I wanted after he had first dibs.

As for this line me and my kids have a blast opening and posing the spin master figures and I like how sturdy they are vs Hiya. I’m still looking for talon, firefly, lex and a regular Wonderwoman but I’d take the gold one if I see it I think.

Also been noticing a BOATLOAD of marvel and DC characters on fortnite... would LOVE if jazwares could make some DC and marvel game skins in their 4” line as it’s a lot of fun... carbide is filling in as my jaime Reyes blue beetle

unfortunately it is not helpful at all
I can't find any listings on there using the Target stock number
plus I tried just a plain search & came up empty

Would be nice, those are the best 4" figures out right now. And I could easily have gotten my hands on 100% of the line if I liked Fortnite that much.

Neat...another repaint of a figure released twice before and still readily available. Meanwhile, Lex, Firefly & Talon came and went like a fart in a gale with no apparent signs of coming back. I wouldn't care except that sort of shit clogs pegs and keeps newer stuff from coming in. How many Batmen, Supermen, Jokers, Robins, Shazams and Cyborgs are they gonna release instead of figures people would actually like to buy?

Il Cattivo · 08-18-2020, 11:35 AM

yea I've only seen the flex and talon/firefly waves once (someone beat me to talon and firefly). they better not be one-and-done.

slim19722 · 08-18-2020, 05:22 PM

I just saw a restock of the Talon wave at Target. Only restock I've ever seen outside of wave 1.

Il Cattivo · 08-19-2020, 12:46 PM

picked up the 12" king shark. this thing is huge!

Captain Morgan · 08-19-2020, 04:16 PM

I picked up a Mezco Space Ghost. I gotta say it is pretty cool.

Nayt Navare · 08-21-2020, 04:46 PM

Might have gotten hosed on a Luthor eBay figure. Bought the toy, and it came in. Not Luthor, Superman. Seller hasn't responded yet. :/

Nah, if you ordered something specific, but the seller sent something else and won't do anything about it, ebay will refund your money. You gotta dance the dance and waste some time though.

Oh, sure. It just feels deliberate, almost. Looking at his feedback, he has overwhelmingly positive numbers, but now I see where he sent the wrong things and went silent on others. (Guessing male by name.)

Autobot_Goldbug · 08-21-2020, 09:56 PM

well once you get your money back hit him with a negative
people seem to not want to do that anymore if they got their money back

Il Cattivo · 08-22-2020, 09:48 AM

saw single pack brawnze tiger at three different targets. of course talon and firefly are gone. these scalpers are fucking quick.

snake5289 · 08-22-2020, 11:47 AM

Got the black suited Joker today which is the first one of these I've gotten since the regular and armored Batmen I originally got.

Frozenstratos · 08-22-2020, 01:44 PM

There are some new Amazon 2 packs that I saw went up for Fandome (Robin vs King Shark has been up for a few days though) Has anyone bought these yet?

Hooded Red Robin & Wet King Shark

Black Armor Batman & Bronze Tiger

Catwoman & Silver Armor Batman

Il Cattivo · 08-22-2020, 02:57 PM

replace baby shark with talon or firefly and iron buff with buff daddy then they got my money.

snake5289 · 08-22-2020, 03:23 PM

Just saw those earlier. Really good deal. Definitely want that Catwoman.

Captain Morgan · 08-22-2020, 03:44 PM

I found some stuff today.

You know, I had a question about army building talons. I know there are multiple goons that have a similar suit but is the suit of this figure too connected to a singular character or do all of them have a uniform like that?

If I am not mistaken all Talons wear the same uniform.
