I couldn't disagree more.
Among many other things, I couldn't stand how Mattel made hips.
Say what you will about "McFarlane diapers", but Mattel's figure's articulation was trash.
They're some of the ugliest figures I own.
I thought about selling most of what I have of Mattel figures, but I don't think they'd be worth selling.

That's not to say that McFarlane Toys figures are perfect either, but I still like seeing what the company made.

Double Post

Toy Fair starts tomorrow lets hope Todd reveals some new stuff and talks about the Mattel getting the brand back as well

[snake5289]

Hopefully he can keep doing these while Mattel does 6 inch and Spin Master keeps 4 inch.

[IzzyTipsy]

So we're going back to 6"? Or will they remain 7"?

[Skoob]

I'm happy for the change. I just hope they do a nice job with some of my favorite characters. I'm so tired of ugly stuff. And it would help if Hollywood would get a lobotomy.

[IzzyTipsy]

I bet the line will still be Batman centric.

I wonder if this basically kills sales for Gunn DCU stuff? Figures you by for Superman will basically be useless with figures from Laterns and Supergirl and whatever else is coming.

Mattel will likely just make Superman movie merchandise of their own at some point. Even McFarlane went back to make toys from the older movies like BVS to go with the more recent stuff they were doing.

I agree

[IzzyTipsy]

If they're Masterverse quality they'll be OK. But still below Legends quality.

New figs

[BLACKBAT18]

damn looks like todd is finally giving us some really unique figures.
i guess he's trying to go out with a bang and i'm liking what i'm seeing so far.

[jayvee]

Hourman (for a golden age collector like me), Supergirl, Gordon and Hawkgirl are must buys for me. Two femmes shown. Wow. Stunner. Maybe I'll eventually get Zatanna before the switch.

[ThorOdinson123]

If Todd shows more than one Female he could finish all the heavy hitters before 2026

[Atomsmasher]

Outside of mech batman most of those are buys for me.

[Joe Moore]

We will have a ton of pics from McFarlane shortly. Tony B is at his scheduled appointment now.

[ThorOdinson123]

don't know what the point of this is TOdd when you can just get the regular CE version of Terrific.

[BLACKBAT18]

saw that and wow they made a justice league action cartoon terrific as a red platinium... odd choice.

Mattel were updating engineering toward the end of their run with Multiverse. I hope they at least just pick up where they left off with engineering and continue to improve from there. Considering how good the Jurassic Park/World stuff is and how many people are saying MOTU is fantastic, I have some hope we will get stuff close to Marvel Legends quality (which isn't that hard since that's a low bar at the moment).

[ThorOdinson123]

Starman and Damage are red Platinum figures too which means only in stores

[IzzyTipsy]

That Supergirl is gonna sellout ASAP.

[graphyt]

Supergirl looks fantastic and feel like that the perfect classic Superman people have been wanting. Especially if there's a shield on the cape.

On the Mattel topic, personally I think the only redeeming value with late stage Mattel DC was being 6 inch. McFarlane have had more sculpting, more articulation, more paint, and even vehicles. For basically the same price. Go watch reviews for those last few years, the figured were awful and frequently bargain bin. Mattel just looked and felt like kids toys. The golden era was DCUC, but those used the same single joined 4H body as infinite repaints. The Shazam movie figures were acceptable, so maybe they pick up from there but McFarlane is a private company, Mattel is going to have the demands of raising prices and drop quality. Hope I'm wrong or Todd keeps 7 inch. I need a BVS Batmobile.

[jayvee]

Haven't seen pictures of the figure, but it looks like one of the boxes says Phantasm on it. That would be an immediate buy. And that was a great animated feature.

[ThorOdinson123]

I just hope Todd will say something in the coming days or at SDCC. I would love to hear him and Mattel reached an agreement that he does 7 inch they do 6 inch and kiddie stuff

[jayvee]

I wouldn't be against a split of the license. I like a lot of the mctoys dc multiverse. I have no interest in starting over with a new company, scale, and reissues of figs i already own.

Edit
I would add that I have a lot of batman hot wheels cars, like really a lot. Multiple versions of each. And that's mattel/ hot wheels. I also like the larger scale die cast scale batman vehicles. The batmobile from DKR is great. So maybe this will mean some sort of expansion? Or the line will continue to see new waves? Maybe? Anyone? Beuhler? Love the Johnny Lightning Bat vehicles and I've got a complete set of those.
