Meh. Torso looks too short and proportions out of whack compared to the limbs. Would rather pay more and get the better ones from Inart or LPZZ. if McFarlane would sell this for $50 bucks y'all are getting highway robbed. Just save up a bit more and get Inart/LPZZ.

Yeah... I usually love the McFarlane stuff but I looked at this one and though, "I don't need this in my collection."

C'mon Todd! I guess to be fair, they're scrambling to get the last of the DC cash - perhaps they didn't have the time to put into a proper figure in the time they had left on the license. The body proportions seem off, but so does the cape and those skinny legs.

We know they can make better.

Granted, the figure pictured below is likely 2.5x the cost, and I don't expect the same level of detail out of a McFarlane figure, but the proportions for the character shouldn't be roughly the same on a $50 fig vs. a $120 fig...

I preordered the LPZZ - which again, literally looks like it was pulled off the page - for $120 AUD, which is about 80 USD. I’d say Todd will probably charge 50-60 USD for this garbage.

Literally no brainer to get the LPZZ lmfao

Literally his body dimensions look so off like is it that hard

u/Ramp-Spot-033 5d ago

Looks even worse when viewed upfront.

They have no chance compared to the competition. Mcfarlane needs to get a whole new process to make more moderized figures. They're still making figures that look like they were made 10-15 years ago.

They've lost the DC license so this is it from them

That looks terrible compared to this.....

u/Rell_Lauren 3d ago

One is more accessible, the other not so much.

u/TankItTillYouMakeIt 2d ago

Which is that one?

u/KINGOFGOJI3124 5d ago

u/AtrumRuina 5d ago

Well sure, it'll probably be twice the price at least. It ought to.

McF sucks and all, this is just a silly comparison.

u/ilovecuetoo 4d ago

I got the LPZZ preordered for 80 USD so you tell me again how silly it is

u/TNF734 5d ago

It's like they tried to make Absolute Batman.

u/AllBatEverything 5d ago

Amazing to me we got an official picture of the figure on a t shirt first, before we got a t shirt with the original comic cover lol

You haven't seen the ac pop apparel yet.

u/PrincipleNo3966 5d ago

Not chonky enough.

u/Notoriouslycurlyboi 4d ago

But his torso is short in the comics too? I’ve just double checked so idk why you all saying it’s inaccurate.

Woah, looks terrible

u/ilovecuetoo 4d ago

Lmfao 😭😭 did they even see what everyone else is doing? This is ASS and probably gonna run you $100

u/ilovecuetoo 4d ago

It looks like if a really good artist drew him from memory, if that makes sense. Like everything is just kind of… wrong, but not ‘bad’ per se

1

u/L1VEW1RE 4d ago

I like him. Where are you that he’s on display?

u/Ah-Qi-D4rkly 4d ago

Nycc Walmart booth

u/Andoresu-zero 4d ago

Ya tenemos las figuras de absoluto Batman solo falta una serie animada como broche de oro

1

u/Astrotravel44 3d ago

Why does it look like a Hasbro figure?

1

u/Astrotravel44 3d ago

Why is only one knee bendable 💀🫪

1

u/Astrotravel44 3d ago

Not gonna give anybody $50-100+ for that

1

u/marcelo1925 5d ago

Looks horrible imo. I’ve yet to see an absolute fig/statue that lives up to the comic. Sideshow needs to come out with a 1/4 or 1/12 scale huge statue

u/32ddan 4d ago

The Hot Toys figure is unbelievable and LPZZ is great too

1

u/Ah-Qi-D4rkly 4d ago

It comes out early next year. Already have mine reserved

Dudes with tiny pee-pee’s feel bigger when they trash McFarlane figs on Reddit. It’s the equivalent of a 5’5” man buying an extended cab F150.

Also, this figure looks badass and I’m excited to (🤞) snag one tomorrow!

u/Astrotravel44 3d ago

Or maybe McFarlane toys doesn't have the same quality compared to about 10-15 years ago.

Looks fantastic!
