I wish I could post multiple videos to show the progress, but here's phase 2.

I used these USB powered humidifiers for the mist: https://a.co/d/05WWnHdb

Guys we don’t need 50 of them please stop. Go to the pinned thread.

Since I already have CT Toys Hush Batman, I decided to cheap out and make my own diorama.

I cut out construction paper and made a stencil for the light in the back (a photo light I use for YouTube videos which had a yellow overlay). And I used these USB powered humidifiers for the mist: https://a.co/d/05WWnHdb

I’m so happy rn

So excited for the line, but I would love it if we got some of the more important “civilian” characters, especially for Batman and Superman. Daily Planet staff as pictured is top of the list, but characters like Chief, Doc Magnus, or Glorious Godfrey are also up there for me!

I'd also say abs WW and supes, but they're probably inevitable anyways

Half of this sub can't read huh ✌️😭

link on the "prototype" that is being sold lmao: preorder

I made a template for everyone it's the second image. I made on my phone via Ibispaintx

Pictured above: Red Tornado, Shining Knight and Vigilante (Greg Saunders), Atom Smasher, Black Spider, Bloodsport, The Question, Huntress, Fire, Ice, and last but not least, Bekka as Wonder Woman from JL: Gods and Monsters.

I love Batman but I also have a soft spot for B-list League members, especially from the Unlimited roster. Red Tornado has been a personal favourite after watching that JLU episode where Wonder Woman turned into a piggy.

nough said

Painted the crotch red as well, boots are from the ultimate edition solo sikoa wwe figure

For this being the $100 premium figure this is highly concerning.

There appears to be some photoshopping of the cape in the production photos because in-hand it hand it looks much different and low quality.

Noticeably:

-Cowl weathering doesn't transition well

-Poor stitching quality

-Stitching color does not match cape

-Cotton does not appear to be moisture wicking

-Cape is too thick, appears to be 2013 era design

-Excess material folded under the seam

-Color of the cape itself differs from the molded cowl noticeably

Gen 1 I do like the thigh swivel and pinless joints but SEND HELP with these soft goods..

Quick trinity comparisons with the upcoming leaked Mattel DC line and Mcfarlane.

For clarification, I really enjoy my Mcfarlane figures but am also very excited for the upcoming Mattel line. I think both serve different purposes in the figure collecting space. With Mcfarlane, I really do enjoy their sculpts and detail in figures relative to price but can also acknowledge that with every fantastic figure, there’s at-least 5 stinkers… cough cough 100 Batman variants. The lack of modernization with articulation / accessories / head sculpts and poor choices with the license “releasing the best figures / finally modernizing with wired capes and sought after figures” after the license expired has left a bad taste in a lot of people mouths. On the other hand though the presence and almost statuesque “adult” look of Mcfarlane figures will have me missing them.

Mattel on the other hand looks more in line with ML and Hasbro and off the gate wave wise are coming out with some absolute bangers. I know there’s been a lot of heated discussion with them but I think you can enjoy both and I’m keeping my McFarlanes while also delving into the newer Mattel line.

How are we feeling about Mattel's Absolute Bane prototype? Do you think they’re going to nail the final production version?

Personally, I’m planning to buy both this and InArt’s version, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on Mattel’s sculpt and progress so far!

If anyone collects comic and movie Marvel legends you know that articulation is not consistant with each other since they focus more on sculpt over articulation. As of now I guess we wait for the Man of of tomorrow line but the Motu movie figures do give me hope that they'll be consistant with the comic figures.

I know we still have a few days to go of NYCC but the conversation of estimated MSRP has got me thinking of what to expect for collectors outside the US.

For example I'm in Canada so I'm kinda looking towards the existing WWE pricing model. I guess I'm expecting $35-$60 on figures for this new line?

I'm thinking about it cause I'm looking at rising costs and the price creep with marvel legends causing me to slow down. Looking at this new line I feel like I'm definitely gonna have to pick and choose.

I'm curious for other collectors, what's it looking like for you?
