DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

I wish I never saw the regular one

Super Joe · 08-30-2021, 11:51 PM

Jade just debuted on the Stargirl tv series. If the Stewart figure sold so well, maybe another Lantern can do the same. Repaints on a standard female figure buck can make for all sorts of repaints,

Super Joe · 08-30-2021, 11:58 PM

Hopefully the tv series (or better yet SM Toys) will make the rest of Infinity Inc

I feel like I’ve tried acetone with rough results in the past. I appreciate the tips, though. I’ll keep her teched up until I at least find a second one to experiment on.

Boss Fight blank and a MU Gamora head.

Madame Warlock · 09-02-2021, 05:58 PM

Those blanks are so expensive for what they are though and hard to get over here because of shipping

You're not wrong, especially when you factor in the higher shipping cost it's like minimum $30 USD. I'll ponder on other possible builds but an option for the boss fight blank would be we work out a trade, I buy the blank and pay shipping to you and you pay shipping from your end of whatever the trade is for. And fair trade, not like I'll try to clean you out or anything. Would be more cost effective that way if you think the blank would work well enough for you.

Another option may be a Spin Master Catwoman. Her build is fairly simple, easy to add some paint to her and get the Jade look. Not sure about the Gamora head, I can try that combo tomorrow and see how it looks.

Madame Warlock · 09-04-2021, 08:07 PM

Does anyone know when this set is actually coming out?

It's probably too expensive for me but I really want that Fleischer style supers. I could have sworn there was another 1:18 40s Supes released recentlyish, anyone have any ideas?

It think it was Funko who did a First Appearance Supes, definitely not the cartoon serial Supes but similar.

And I guess that technically is '30s Superman lmao

Captain Morgan · 09-06-2021, 09:05 AM

Anyone find any of the new Spin Master 4 inch stuff like Deathstroke or Harley Quinn?

Duplicolor automotive spray paint for vinyl and plastic is what I use to primer all my customs and it's amazing.
It works great on even rubberized capes and fries perfect and quick
A big can will cost under ten bucks and last a long time- best of all, they have many auto colors- black, white, dark blue, red tones,etc.

I promise I'm not a not- I really love this stuff!

Nope and been watching eBay, nothing yet.

Had been using the Playmates Kong as Godd stand-in, until I got my Godzilla vs Kong SH MonsterArts figure. This figure is awesome.

The Mezco Batcave set was supposed to ship back in Feb., the Feb. to Apr., and now no response at all about it. If this is any indication, we may never see it.

Well done Mezco!

CCC.

LordMudd · 09-12-2021, 05:00 AM

If you are looking for a 66 Batcave, you might look at the McFarlane version. Early reports are is scales better to 4" than the 6" it is meant for, as is typical with McFarlane playsets.

suprdave71 · 09-12-2021, 05:08 PM

Where are you all finding the Spin Master figures online and in stores? Walmart and Target, some on Amazon and eBay, usually at a premium… anywhere else?

I found absolutely every single one in stores save Luthor (got him at a steal at 30 bucks) and the Aqua/Manta and Supes/Dark packs I got from Wal-Mart official channels. Everything else, just at Target, Walmart. But I have a lot of stores I hit, I can spend 6-7 hours for a round trip that includes 20+ comic stores, Wal-Marts and Targets.

I picked up King Shark (dlx great white version) in a TJ Maxx. They also had bronze tiger but I passed on him

BBTS had the Supes set listed as Oct. until Sept hit now it says December. The Batman set said August till Sept 1. Now it says Sept. (Same with the Boss Fight flash figures and the Hiya Aliens)
