Especially for the extra pricepoint, there is absolutely no excuse for skimping on paint apps on Superman's belt, and skimping on accessories, like they definitely could have given Psycho Pirate an interchangable unmasked head, which given the variant they just revealed, they do have that headsculpt.
There's something chronically half-assed about the DC Multiverse line. Every once in a while they produce something great (Knightfall Batman), but the compromises are too frequent and too glaring across the line.
Like 95% of the line is just bare plastic garbage with no accessories. And the 5% that’s barely worth even $20 is still bare plastic with no accessories. They’re toys for my kids that I occasionally buy on clearance. Definitely not adult collectibles.
@@Hilltopperpetemost figures are a solid color with paint covering them. Like with Kyle Rayner GL, his gloves are cast in bright green with the white gloves just painted on. Like wouldn’t it make more sense to just cast them in their respective colors?
I mean, to be fair, if this is Crisis Wally he is already supposed to be an adult. But no one is grabbing him as "Crisis Wally". Everyone wants a Titans Wally.
I don't like McFarlane Scale, Sculpts, Selection, or Articulation. I AM a DC Collector, I have built 6 different DC Earth's. I have bought exactly 5 McFarlane Figures; Devastator, Gorilla Grodd, Lex Luthor in Green Battlesuit, Atom Smasher, and Swamp Thing to replace an old wayyyy undersized Swamp Thing from the TV days!
@@Forza-G7 I’ll take Hasbro’s Marvel Legends over DC Multiverse (McFarlane) figures any day but they are a bit more expensive than DC for sure. But I can’t get past rudimentary ankle joints, brittle arm sockets, and lack of thigh swivel of DC figures
I for one like the brand new body mold for Superman which is better than being a little short but I really hope when Todd releases a new classic Superman that he should use the Crisis on Infinite Earth's Earth' 2 Superman body for $20.00 to $22.99, Great honest review Shartimus.
I'll be picking it up for sure but the price does hurt. Psycho Pirate is a must for me and I want kid flash for my flash family. Honestly I have pretty much every important piece Todd has put out so if I didn't get the wave I'll definitely be kicking myself later.
As this this line being my line to collect this wave made me pull back I still haven't gotten it yet and don't know when or if I will and I only like 2 figs from the wave so idk, Great Legit Review Brother
I have enacted a moratorium on buying McFarlane figures! My last three purchases have been Marvel Selects. I will not buy another McFarlane figure until he appears on your show and explains himself! 😤
I just got the Superman because I think that's the best figure from this wave. I'm not trying to buy the whole way from McFarlane store for his price especially since it's sold out fast, beside he should have do it the same way he did the build a Plastic Man wave this way I would have got it from GameStop since it's sold out everywhere. Thanks for a great video!
Is that Spectre on the same body as the Martian Manhunter they did I don’t actually own it but it looks like it and also would explain the textured skin on the figure
Rubber diapers, frequent off model designs/colours, scale issues. Ugh. This is the first major DC line since Super Powers I have bought zero figures from.
Hey shartimus, with the new astonishing Wolverine marvel legends dropping soon, along with a bunch of other wolverines, do you think we could get a part 3 to the evolution of Wolverine figures videos you did 3 years ago in honor of Glenn Webb?
The only reason I’m getting DC Multiverse is because there ain’t much 6-7” scale DC figures that are *relatively* inexpensive. The moment some other company comes out with 6-7” scale DC figures, I’m done with Todd. Very rarely does he put out a figure with nothing that makes me say “what the fuck?” Most recent one I can think of is Knightfall Batman.
From what I heard the price hike was a one time thing because this was originally going to be a Target exclusive wave, and Target turned it down. So McFarlane Toys had to pivot and sell it directly on their online store. That's why these were priced more than usual. However, if you used the MTS10 code for 10% off and ordered the discounted bundle, the figures only came out to around $28 each. (And that's with the shipping included). So I ordered the set and I actually really like it. The Superman and Spectre are the gems of the wave, but I also really like Psycho Pirate, and the Monitor BAF is very cool as well. My only real complaint is Kid Flash's hands. His left fist hand is much smaller than his right, and it looks really weird.

Sounds like hasbro
I agree. I think ML is so much better right now, especially given recent improvements.

I’ve slowly learned that nothing from McFarlane is worth it. Their figures kinda suck imo. But hey others may enjoy it more

@@BladeStar-uq6xe 7 inch scales are wack and the articulation is some of the worst ever
same with hasbro. Spiderverse with a mix of the same figures they release a year ago just pinless 😂😂😂
I have yet to find a better articulated figure for less than 20 @thefirstguyjaek255

Superman is a brand new mold from top to bottom.

Russ, the head swap for Superman is solid. Great review,✌️

Wally was an adult by the time COIE happens. He took over for flash.
If I wasn't on a collecting hiatus (financial concerns) I'd probably just pick up Kid Flash to build up my Teen Titans.
Really want that Superman now! Seeing how he scales makes me wanna cave in and buy it, but that price is annoying lol
Just an FYI. The Crisis animation is not a two-parter. Part two ends with a cliffhanger too.
It’s not called a trilogy for nothing 💀
Bro there’s a reason why it’s called The Crisis Trilogy 🤦🏾♂️

Action 1000 head is still the definitive face.

They could do Best for the pricepoint !
I want a dc line that is like marvel legends not too cheap but not too expensive and in the 6in scale
For 33 bucks or 40...and they couldnt finish painitng the Superman belt? Total joke lol 😅😅😅
every like one push up
I rant them 5
Didn’t paint Superman’s belt 💀
Sorry but Mcfarlane action figures sucks
Not a greatbwave but in crisis wally was not a teenager anymore sonsize wise to barry it works
Lame figs, barely worth it. The only one kinda decent is Spectr. But have it guys 👍
No accessories is crazy 😢
Horrible pricing for getting little to nothing
The short answer: No.
I swear mcfarlane makes some of the 🗑 figures. They also look off
wow, no views in 1 minute. Bro fell off
