Filmation Hordak and Prison Suit Doomsday SDCC Exclusives


DC Universe Classics Doomsday


MOTUC Filmation Hordak

[1987olds442]

That Doomsady has almost the exact amount of new tooling that the Unleashed would have had, so their tooling cost excuse is just plain BS.

Man I really want an unleashed doomsday... Don't really care about a prison suit one. If hasbro can release an ultimate green goblin why can't mattel release a decent doomsday. Mattel just posted an $11 million loss, maybe bad decisions are the cause. Listen to the fans, it's good for business.

Hasbro's 6" Marvel toys still make money at retail, and Ultimate GG was a BAF for a retail toy line.

Or was that rhetorical?

While it may have been the same amount of tooling, this is a SDCC exclusive and probably has a price to match that would also cover the costs of tools all on its own.

Having said that, I think he looks really silly; like Mr. Freeze and Omega Red had a baby together.

EDIT: Filmation Hordak looks amazing, though, and Imp is a great accessory/companion for him.

I could complain about the badass batmobile being a con exclusive, but no, I won't. It's eighty-five friggin dollars, and I don't care how awesome the lights and sounds are, it ain't worth that much.

It if was for 6" or 6.75" figures, sure. Not for 3.75" ones. It's really easy to dislike Mattel these days.

is that the Batmobile design they gonna use for the movie?? kinda looks like the teaser from the other day

No, the two are pretty similar though.

Whatever teams designed them were clearly working toward the same goal, combining the more traditional batmobile designs with the Tumbler from Nolan's trilogy.

[Ninjinister]

I'm not a vehicle collector, so what absolutely kills me about the Batmobile set is that it's just an Arkham City Batman with a cloth cape, and not an actual Arkham Knight Bats. I can make a cloth cape AC Batman myself.

[Tony_Bacala]

Paint does look good on Hordak, but I don't collect MOTUC so it would make no sense.

Total Justice, cool, not my thing.

Doomsday, no way. That horse has been beaten enough.

The Batmobile 3.75 - I really like it. That figure, pretty much awful, with or without a cloth cape. I'd just want the car to have a 3.75 inch Batmobile available for a future hopefully good Batman. But 85 bucks, woofa.

I'll have to play it by ear, if there are any left, and no lines when I'm passing by, might grab.

An actual Arkham Knight batman would go a long way towards making that thing worth $85. I mean, yeah, he starts the game in this AC suit... but a little more effort would still be appreciated.

Let's hope they re-release this thing without the electronics for a better price at retail.

even with an AK Bats this thing is not $85 bucks worthy.
the Knight rider Kitt car and the 6 inch figure fitting Batmobile from the 60's are less than this thing. With that being said at present a more reasonable price mark is $60-70 bucks tops

At the least they could have used the armored version with a cloth cape.
That somewhat matches the Knight suit.

6inch figure Batmobile?

[CMIII]

I call that Doomsday the Despicable Me oversized Green Minion. It's Sad that producing the Unleashed version would have sold out no matter what but Mattel "Cannot see the forest for the trees."

Honestly only 7% of that 11 million dollar loss (roughly 770,000 dollar just over 3/4 of a million dollars) how much of that is the DC stuff we probably will never know. The Remainder was Girls line and Preschool line. What is clear is that 1/2 of the 11 million went to Hasbro that's 5.5 million dollars.

[Foreddyn]

I look at that Doomsday and I see an 80's-90's action figure. And why the hell is that Batmobile so damn expensive?

[Catatronic]

That Doomsday figure looks like it's straight out of an old Rob Liefeld 90's Image Comic. Something really goofy like Superpatriot. Or something from The Tick.

Because the fans didn't pay for the 6" subscription so it didn't go through and now we're gonna have to pay out the *** for anything DC-related and blah blah blah... because reasons.

Just kidding. Mostly.

In all seriousness though, Mattel reps do seem to bring that up as often as they can even if it's irrelevant to whatever is being talked about.

No, I meant is the SDCC one for 6inch figures? If so, that is a great price. If not, then **** that and that is way too expensive for a four inch toy.

[CMIII]

On Mattel's DC front everything they are offering is way overpriced. Granted the would have been club figures are only 1$ more. I expect Doomsday to be between 35 and 45 dollars. The total heroes stuff simply isnt worth dropping more then 15$. I do not see anything from Mattel for SDCC thats all that wonderful if anything it's all kinda Lackluster

I wish lego would make "the homer".

[trebleshot]

Dammit, Mattel. That DB5 should have been a retail release in your Retro line, same as the Homer.

*Sigh*

C'est la vie, I guess. Definitely not getting anything SDCC this year, regardless of who makes it.
