what the hell is with the weird-ass illustrated cardbacks?? I don't get the logic here, they have this amazing figure art (or supplied movie promo-art) and McFarlane is using ILLUSTRATED images? And it's not even good? There's a multitude of amazing creators and it looks like Todd went to the guy storyboarding Spawn 2. I'm SO confused by this.

Disappointed that the Rock headsculpt isnt wowing me like in those promo pics but, I guess that was to be expected. |

Navia was great in the Gotham knights trailer, Javicia was good in Batwoman, and I’m sure cyclone won’t be any different. |

The Rock looks amazing! But I don’t understand why Cyclon is sold out on Amazon? Even the Doctor Fate figure isn’t so impressive and it’s also sold out but Black Adam is still available, really?

I really wish Todd would stop with the pin holes like Super 7, Mattel and Hasbro have been. They always look ugly and Atom Smasher has even more visible pins in those elbows than a Marvel Legends Spider-Man (gotta get me that Renew Your Vows one). On BOTH sizes of him too. Todd, I'm tired.

I am torn which Fate to buy. Movie fate with no eye holes or Injustice Fate.
I love the classic costume that movie fate has but I love the helmet on Injustice fate more. Movie fate has his gold gloves Injustice doesn't I like the holding hand injustice fate has cause I can give him the spellbook that comes with Constantine. decisions decisions |

I preordered Doctor Fate yesterday on Amazon, it was randomly available. Maybe a looser canceled his preorder.
It’s interesting to see how Fate and Cyclone are sold out on Amazon, prefer to save a couple of units and not to get any chances. I’m particularly not interested in Cyclone. |

I dont get what's so weird about using illustrations depicting live action comic characters. It is a little odd that they're not consistent with it for the entire wave but, whatever its just the packaging.
Disappointed that the Rock headsculpt isnt wowing me like in those promo pics but, I guess that was to be expected. "It's just the packaging" is what sells 80% of the things on store shelves, so this isn't another angry toy nerd rant (but maybe a flummoxed designer one). Agreed on the sculpt tho, it was a must-buy based on the promo's but now it's a wait-and-see how the YT review community weighs in. Last edited by jostju; 07-05-2022 at 09:31 AM.. |

This DCUC 4HM sculpted Hawkman that is around 12+ yrs old blows away the droopy puppy dog eared Hawkman in every way you can think of. How some of you are singing this figs praises is beyond me. It's atrocious.

eh that's fine for a comic Hawkman though it's got that old dated MotUC body type and articulation with the giant pinholes, but that McFarlane one ain't trying to be that. I quite like that movie costume. If I had to cosplay one I'd definitely go with the movie outfit, not the comic one.

It's hilarious that the actor playing the role of Hawkman obviously worked out to be in great shape for the role & then ends up 80% covered up by that ridiculous outfit.

Aldis Hodge has been in some modicum of shape since Leverage. He's now in 'super hero' shape...

Hawkman's always had that weird costume aesthetic. He doesn't have superhuman durability and yet he has a overly exposed chest. Add on filming wise it would be a mess to switch in a stunt double if they did.
Honestly most actors don't need to get into superhero shape. Padded suits(if it's meant to be skin tight) will do all the work. It's always amounted to the one shirtless scene and that's it. My only beef with the Hawkman movie design(and to be fair it's only two shots we've seen) is the armor makes the actor look small when he's anything but. I think part of it is that Superman Returns collar problem happening. |

I could see that as comic fans definitely have high to completely unrealistic expectations.

Not to be persnickety, but, as a Hawkman fan, I feel compelled to point out that some of your characterization is a bit askew of the mark. Hawkman does, in fact, have a measure of enhanced strength and durability. These powers are the result of the use of Nth metal and even include regenerative abilities. Hawkman is not 'normal'. |

Totally disagree with that statement in every way shape & form. These actors are playing make believe characters that are depicted as being at the peak of human perfection, not flabby, not skinny, not fat, in peak Olympian body building levels! So Chris Hemsworth & Henry Cavill didn't have to get into rock solid shape to play their roles as Thor & Superman? Padded muscled body suits woulda done the job? The Rock shoulda just put on a muscle suit too? Guess you were alright with that joke of an actor that played Hawkman in Smallville. Zero muscle tone and looked about as intimidating as a new born Kitten. If an actor/actress doesn't wanna put in the effort to get in extremely excellent physical condition to play a superhero role, then they have no bussiness being in it. |
