Is that a head swap or did you sculpt that mask on Hyperion's head?

kylactus 02-15-2016 09:45 AM

I literally just carved the cowl out of hyperions Conan O' Brian hair and sanded it all smooth. I never really liked the Hyperion figure, but once you sand down the copper girdle and cut the nipples off of the leg pegs that make the huge gap at the boot line it's a pretty solid figure. Plus if you local stores are like mine you could get a Hyperion army easily.

Leather cape.

Universe 02-15-2016 10:54 AM

That's impressive, Kylactus. I might have to get some for customs too.

Ninjinister 02-15-2016 11:19 AM

I think I'd have difficulty getting the belt off

Madame Warlock 02-15-2016 06:29 PM

Which one?

Ninjinister 02-15-2016 06:54 PM

I'm guessing the TV one they showed in Multiverse. We'd a' had it if they'd not stiffed us.

yeah exactly. just imagine all the amazing figs we could have.

i'm mad at DC superhero girls too because those look like fun toys.

snake5289 02-15-2016 08:14 PM

I know it's dumb because they're just toys but the fact that they upscaled all the new Multiverse figures to 6 inches that already don't seem to be selling that well around here really pisses me off.

Universe 02-15-2016 08:53 PM

They seem to have copied the Legends formula:

Forsake and saturate

And then what kills me is the people around here see the 6 inch stuff and then complain about how garbage they are. Yeah well at least you have something on the market you jerks.

I'd kill for 3.75 Multiverse BvS and Suicide Squad figures. Not to mention the new TV series figures that I was waiting and waiting for.

Universe 02-15-2016 10:46 PM

What I loved about Multiverse was it actually gave us a decent Batman and Superman like the Keaton and Reeves figures, that isn't cartoony. But what sold me on the line was the sheer amount of villians to choose from (mostly Batman foes) but nonetheless, it was a thriving line in my book.

They sold out and went hail-Mary with the 6" scale to compete with Legends and truly went to task to overstock every chain possible with thier (4" articulated) 6" figures.

Edit: I honestly think the BvS movie will actually bomb and they'll be pegwarming.

MUfan97 02-15-2016 11:02 PM

Multiverse was such a wasted line. Not counting the Batman and Superman movie figures, the whole line was just from the Arkham games. They could've done figures from Young Justice, Justice League/Unlimited, and so much more, but NOPE. The line was a whole bunch of Arkham. But of course, once they switched to 6 inch, they added variety. Not planned at all, I'm sure.

Thats the thing though, it doesnt make any sense. they aready had figures in or near that scale. There are four BVS movie lines in either 6 or 7 inch size.
They aren't competing with Legends at this point, they are competing with themselves.
I mean the first figures they released when the switched the multiverse scale were the Flash and Arrow. Two figures that had already been released by DCC in that scale.

I;m saving to buy a house so ....I guess thank you to everyone who has a DC license

They're really not, though. When it comes to BvS, Mattel has a child-oriented line and a collector-oriented line available at mass retail. They have two different target audiences. DC Collectibles has a more niche, more extreme collector-oriented product. There may be some overlap between the people who would buy Mattel's collector line and DCC's, but there are plenty of others judging by complaints about pricing who will not be willing to pay double Mattel's retail for a DCC figure, even if there is a difference in quality.

As far as Flash and Arrow, neither of the DCC versions of those figures are currently available at retail. Mattel's figures reach a much wider audience due to where they're distributed. DCC's figures are also not really the same scale.

Universe 02-16-2016 01:37 AM

I'm more of a Marvel fan anyway, but the 4" Multiverse (really hate having to preface a toyline by the inches now because of the trend of making everything one name) really drew me in because of the added articulation compared to all the Happy meal toys Mattel produces otherwise. They had a golden line that filled the gap with Marvel Universe/Infinite/4"Legends because of thier focus on 6" figs. I actually hunted them down like I do with my Marvel 4" to expand my toy universe. Ah well, what can I expect from Mattel, the toy company for kids. I know they were modeled after the cartoons, but all those DC figs before Multiverse were a joke. All big torso with beanpole legs. Years of this...now they took away the scale altogether.

They're going out of business/merging right?

They will be at Barnes&Noble and Books-a-million.

Yeah they did. There's still a few I need to track down but I've got just about every villain they made.

Madame Warlock 02-16-2016 10:38 AM

never even saw the Multiverse figs here.

Ninjinister 02-16-2016 10:51 AM

What gets me is at least where I am, the original Multiverse line sold well. Better than anything else in that scale as far as I saw. The only pegwarmer ever was Zod. Sadly the Zods did stack up and never seemed to go on clearance, but I digress.

snake5289 02-16-2016 01:06 PM

I got lucky every once in a while but I didn't even see Zod that much. Just a few times at Target.

Il Cattivo 02-16-2016 01:47 PM

^did you find anything at your big lots?

Specter 02-16-2016 03:01 PM

Wish I grabbed Red Hood when he was readily available.
