I get why we might think that.
But after losing the DC license, then watching what McF has been doing (both hits and misses) and then factoring in the success of all the He-man revival stuff... we think WB and Mattel just sat around and said to each other, "lets go back to the way it was in 2018"?
Mattel lost the DC license in 2018, the crowd funding Mattel Creations debuted in 2023.
Logic and reason and the last 5 years of action figures collectibles = more than likely Mattel wants to, and will, up their game with DC license.

The irony is NOW in 2024-2025 McF is showing some cool stuff, and I have to keep telling myself to NOT buy it because I want to see what Mattel does later.
(Jeez, McF since 2018? it took McF 6 years to finally make anything that I personally thought was worth my dollars?? I'm nobody, but still...)

McF got the license in 2020. Originally they had a 2 year contract, then it extended a year, then they re-upped for 2 more years.

I don't understand how this crowd funding works.

You keep pledging money in real time for various items?

you pick which one you want to contribute from the tiers and that's it.
as long as the goal of $250k is met that is how it works. you can pick more that one tier or can be the same tier.

What i dont get is how this will work. If it takes 18 months to produce and they loose thr license in less than 12 months how are they going to be able to fulfill it? Is it because they sold before the license expired even though they didn't have yhr physical item to sell?

tagmac · 09-29-2025, 01:44 PM

I just read the Jayna & Gleek is the platinum chase figure for the next Super Friends wave. Not sure if it's Gamestop exclusive or not. Seriously, what the heck is wrong with Todd?! Batzarro should be the chase, not the other half of a much sought after team!

EvilMonkeyPope · 09-29-2025, 05:02 PM

Now that they’ve got a bare midriff sculpt via Hawkgirl, will Stargirl be equally oversized?

It usually takes 18 months from concept to delivery. In this case, it appears all of the tooling, paint masters, prototypes, etc are completed and as soon as the funding period ends, they will know the number to have the factory produce. One month for production, 2 months on the water. Shouldn't be a problem for these to be out in a few months.

Todd really gonna just red label every fucking female figure, isn't he?

Same garbage with Max Shreck happened with Jayna! The page wouldn't come up, and when it finally did, "not available!"

Krydion · 10-02-2025, 11:14 AM

And of course, being a teacher, I can't always be there when the window opens. 40 minutes later, Aquaman and the Wonder Twins sold out.
Sigh

Jayna was never even available, although a couple of people on FB claimed it popped up two minutes before noon, and they got their orders in before her page crapped out, but otherwise, few, if any, had a chance.

EvilMonkeyPope · 10-02-2025, 12:29 PM

They could've done Cheetah as a Collector Edition figure & given her swappable Golden Age, Silver Age, Post-Crisis, & Rebirth heads!

Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll be hunting Gamestops this fall.

Todd has really sucked the fun out of collecting his line. I haven't bought any of his stuff since june. Everything sells out females are a bitch to get. After Zatanna I'm 100. Done with todd

You know, he must be doing something right, though, since so many of us want a lot of his stuff. The Batman Returns line sold out like bread in WW2. Wish he didn't do the exclusives the way he does, but I did end up with many DC merchandise that I proudly display.

I'd still like a WW84 Cheetah figure. Say what you will about the movie, I still liked the design of the character.
