Passed up the new DC Collectables Batman, Deadman, Mister Miracle and Green Arrow at my LCS, and I can verify that these are indeed a six-inch scale, slightly smaller than Marvel Legends though, unfortunately :P They look pretty great too, besides the superfluous torso articulation, haha.

I find it interesting that ML claims to be 6" scale but they kinda aren't. They're definitely not big enough to be 7" scale or maybe even 6.5" scale but it becomes apparent when placed next to other 6" lines or when using 1:12 props. For example, I use a Maisto 1:12 SoA Harley for the new Ghost Rider and it generally works out pretty nicely but upon closer examination it's noticeable that the bike should be a little bit bigger to be an exact match.

Yeah, I really wish there were some strict scale chart all companies had to adhere to, but I know that wouldn't end well :D

Phantomcrow 11-17-2015 05:30 PM

The problem I think is that the ML 6 inch scale seems to be based off of Spider-Man as the standard . But he is one of the more slim heroes in the Marvel Universe, so when just about any character is made in scale with him they tend to come off as bigger. Anyone using the Sentry/Hyperion buck as a base is much larger than Spider Man. But the females (adult and teen molds) seem to come off ok. I just hope we get a new Male Teen buck for Miles Morales and hopefully that could lead to a new Cloak and Dagger pair along with some other younger male characters Like Sam Alexander Nova, Marvel Boy/Justice, perhaps some of the All new xmen and others like them.

I found 3 of these at my local TRU which is the first time I've seen these in person, not my scale for DC but cool to know that my area finally moved past Grundy and Clayface.

TheMattMan095 11-20-2015 01:46 AM

What a depressing thread...

Black Arbor 11-22-2015 06:04 PM

Went to Gamestop today to find the Fallout Power Armor figure, all they had was the regular Vault Dweller in the blue jumpsuit... Man, Funko REALLY dropped the ball on that guy!

Yeah that lone wanderer looks so "meh" and forgettable, the power armor is pretty good minor aesthetic flaws aside.

I looked high and low for this set and finally got it separately because of shoplifters boosting the croc fig in one tru and nightwing in another one. Months later my tru finally put these out and the clerk said they'd been in the stockroom for close to six months. 7-8 sets just chilling gathering dust.

^^ This is why I quit going to stores.

soundwavempl 11-25-2015 01:26 PM

My local TRU got more World of Nintendo 6" wave 2 - had 3 Metroids and 6 Ganons:

Also found tons of the Walmart Exclusive Black Series wave 2 3 3/4" figures at 1 of the 2 Walmarts I hit today. I have yet to see the 6" versions in person:

I always wonder what other stuff is sitting back there gathering dust. They always say they put out everything that's in the back...

Damn it man! I need me one too, we haven't even really seen those scale World of Nintendo figures at my TRU except for Mario and recently the princess, no Links, Starfox, or Samus, mostly just the minis here.

salsa4datass 11-25-2015 09:34 PM

I'm right there with you guys on that Metroid. I have yet to see the Starfox as well...

leia's out??? wally world here I come!

deathofthelines 11-25-2015 10:22 PM

I bought leia but she's dressed far fancier than any of my other 3 3/4 scaled figs. What to do??? Also got revan and 5 of the new troopers in a local Walmart tonight. the troopers kick ass. revan I'm on the wall about but dammit despite a few articulation errors on leia I'm really digging her. I guess she can be a VIP in need of hired body guards in my little Joe verse.

You know that Kylo Ren and Darth Revan are two separate characters, right?

Good prices on these and they had all the Doctors as well. Found them at a super discount store, like Anerican style Big Lots.

Yikes. They are about £30 in my local Forbidden Planet International store.

On a general basis , yes. But so many people mark down DC Direct figures at shows, and shops, and online that it is really hard to judge. I mean nothing I saw is super rare, but 25$ is good on that Bane pack, the Copperhead arkham 3 pack, and the big Lex suit. And 13$ is about half off retail on the single figures.

The 75th anniversary one is good. I got mine at $30 but only because it was 50% off when I bought mine.
