That Ragman is cool. I had to cancel a bunch of pre-orders including that figure cause I need to scale back. I wonder how long McFarlane's contract with DC is for cause Jada Toys would do wonders with that license if they made DC figures in the Marvel Legends scale.
You have been a toy collector for years, by now you must have a pretty good experience as to what constitutes a GOOD QUALITY TOY, Could you please explain about ‘Toy quality’ , the considerations for judging it along with some examples. I know this is a long question which might require an even longer answer but I believe it to be an important one and helpful to new collectors.
@@zubairsarwar815 that is a loaded question. The definition of quality is “the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind” so when I’m judging a figure I’m comparing it to other similar figures. It’s hard to compare a dollar store toy to an expensive high-end collectible. In this episode we said that Darkseid was a poor quality figure. That’s because we have lots of other McFarlane DC figures to compare it to. Generally, they’re solid figures that can fall off a shelf without breaking, the plastic is the right combination of hard and soft. They are usually very posable and the joints move easily with a consistent amount of friction. With Darkseid, he feels hollow and brittle. Like he could break like a vase if he fell on the floor. Some joints are too loose and some are too tight. The pieces fall apart with little force so it can’t really be “played with”. It looks great, but it’s not durable or fun. I hope that answers your question somewhat.
My favorite video type is miscellaneous figures! I really want to get into the Last Ronin, solely based on the figures. They look so damn cool that I just assume the comics have to be good. I LOVE that original sketch turtle figure. I may have to go grab one if I can find one for my miscellaneous shelf. I really like TMNT, and they were a huge part of my childhood, but there's just soooo many figures that I dont want to start picking some up, and it get out of control, haha. I sometimes go overboard with things. I'm not sure which is noisier, a cheap plastic cookie package at night when you're trying to sneak a snack without anyone in the house hearing you, or that darkseid figure, haha.
@@smacrecords lol. I give the edge to Darkseid over cookies. They’re both loud but only Darkseid possesses the Anti-Life Equation. I love the turtles too. Every time I think I have enough they find a new way to rope me in. Did you see Mutant Mayhem. I haven’t bought any of the figures yet but I’m seriously considering picking up the Megamutant. It’s just so damn weird that I love it. I’m fortunate in that my TMNT fandom doesn’t stretch too far beyond the core characters so I’m not compelled to buy everything.
@Hylandboy1 I haven't seen it yet, but I plan to! The mega mutant figure does look really cool and it's huge! Haha I'm very tempted to just get the 4 original looking turtles figures for my shelf. Same with Street Sharks and Biker Mice From Mars. If I just get the main good guys, then it's only 3 or 4 figures from each show. I feel like I can easily justify that to the wife and have the space for them all haha
@Hylandboy1 it looks really fun, I haven't come across a turtles movie I haven't enjoyed yet. I think they hold such a special place in my heart that they can't do anything wrong for me haha An EX wife, that's who ;) lol
Do you all ever buy older figures I have a store room rented with all old marvel and dc figures, ninja turtles, transformers, and like video game characters. They just been sitting there and it be nice if it went to a collector
@@mcmogg_incmogg2080 I know Chad is not a fan of secondhand stuff. I occasionally buy old stuff from toy shows and such but not too often. Are you local in Halifax? There are regular toy shows nearby and a couple of comic shops that buy old collections.

@@Z-ManAtTheParty oh god. I hope Jada doesn’t get the DC license. That would put the final nail in my wallet’s coffin.

@@Hylandboy1 Got it… thanks for your reply 🙏🏻
Very interested in rag man, not a necessity, but alright for list prices. Sargent rock complete crap 💩 💯👍
@@rickytoddbotelho9555 I was tempted by Sgt Rock but he looked a little off to me. I’d like to get Jonah Hex without the horse.
I got an older J hex

@@smacrecords definitely check it out. It was a lot of fun.
4 figures from each line seems perfectly reasonable. What wife could say no to that? 🙂
