I know we are never going to know what they actually cost to make but tbf at least they are making figures off the movies unlike what DC Collectibles/Direct barely did.

One man's evil doesn't make you good. The line in general has a lot going for it. But when they can't keep up a standard consistency in their line or match the competition, then they get respectfully bashed.

They are putting out a product to sell. Customizers can do whatever they want. Something being sold to the masses is a different story.

You put out a subpar product, you put out a subpar product.
You use anticonsumer tactics, you are using anticonsumer tactics.

Mcfarlane can just do better.

As to the ban on guns with DC toys. No the WB has not put out a statement. But for some reason everyone who has a DC toy license isn't adding guns. I think it was a Mafex employee who did say the WB told them to nix the guns from one of the figures. It was either a twitter or IG post.

It's not like Mcfarlane has a no gun policy when the recent Spawn figures seem over equipped with firearm(and not laser guns).

----------

As to Batman realism. At this point Batman and dipped into various genres. Clearly gritty crime drama has won out. I would love if they dipped into Magic or Sci Fi with Batman. But I figure the idea there is that's why you have Supergirl and Wonder Woman for that.

I still think the head sculpt for this Bruce figure looks very weak. Part of it is the hair. I don't know why the sculpt the hair like it's made of heavy clay.


Also how awesome would it be if this figure had a great ab crunch, so he could actually ride the bike like a normal person?

I appreciate the seamless look but until they get a very thin, strong, flexible plastic, split the part up so their can be articulation.
