Just picked up the new 52 red hood and metallo after along hiatus from the mcfarlane line and im loving their designs. I doubt i'll be picking up figures regularly, but I do want sgt rock and Atomic skull for my DC collection.
Hello dHunter. Roger here. I always enjoyed watching your videos. You really know how to do great reviews on DC MULTIVERSE action figures and Mega Figs. I agree with your rating on Metallo. I think I'll buy him whenever I get a chance. But I also agree that there are some of the Superman's rogues are missing. Toyman is one of my favorite Superman rogues. I personally like the Toyman from the 1978 Challenge of the Super Friends series version of him. But I think Todd is the type of person that likes to put people in suspense. I've been waiting for Todd McFarlane to make Grail the daughter of Darkseid 7 inch action figure. Took him a long time to make a DC Classic Darkseid Mega Fig. Hopefully he'll do so.
@dHuntersReviews I got my gold superman, centennial park thing..agent liberty shipped today, still waiting to receive the signed batmobile. Kinda worried
This version of Metallo is from the Whatever happened to the man of tomorrow written by Grant Morrison a two parter that ended in action comics and was the last issue of vol 1 stories
Actually this version made some appearances prior to that story. He's based on the Bronze age look of the character and this version actually was not based on John Corben, but his brother Roger. After John had died Roger became the new Metallo and sported this look. This was your late 70s early 80s pre-Crisis look
good review bro looking at him, it s possible I have seen a story with him once long ago... most of him looks awesome, but the red... maybe a little black wash would do wonders here as he has the same problem as patriot Hasbro, the red looks plasticky - cheap - toy it needs to be worked on to look more realistic somehow. the concept is really fun, kryptonite powered armour, yeah! and superbly sculpted, and cool little logo printed same issue as freeze, just the colours, it can be better. oh wow how luthor is so much better with the grab hands and colours for legs I love the sculpt, and on luthor it shines yep, next version should do that better, or just a black wash at least. and grabbing hands! he can only grab these crystals in one hand as is, LAME! I d want him to grab weapons, accessories, props, ropes, kryptonite green, tie superman! now he just shows a rock.. ; come on superman! can you grab this? so now you know... good show bro
I used the lex luthor for a custom Mr freeze before McFarlane made official Mr freeze figures. I won’t be getting this version of metalo. I want that more traditional version you mentioned.
I thought todd mcfarlane took more pride in his work than that, Or at least something with his name on it. I don't know. Maybe he's not even really like act of in the toy making of the DC line.Anymore and someone else is in charge just lazy as fuck
@@dHuntersReviews The? Figure doesn't even look like the image that is on the card or the box that is supposed to represent. It's a lazy ass half assed Production that i'm surprised Todd McFarlane put his name on. The arms and legs are the exact same as previous Lex Luther Molds. The centerpiece of the chest has nothing to do with the character at all. And the paint job is half ass even. I said fuck it and I went to work on the one that I got in. Mine actually looks like Metallo.Let's just say that. It would have actually been easier to convert it into an Iron Man ,War Machine or a Doctor Doom honestly....
@@dHuntersReviewsIF that were the case, it still makes no sense, there is way more art then just what they used. They reused parts from different figures, (probably to keep manufacturing costs down) and then, half assed tried to make him match the pictures, which I have found out (from looking into it deeper) are of a version of Metallo older then the "Terminator looking" one we are more used to from John Byrne's Superman #1 - Volume 2 from 1987. Honestly No two characters in a line of this quality should have matching parts just painted differently. IDK maybe they cranked out the design on Cinco de Mayo, or St. Patrick's Day and the staff were all wasted...
This is based on his original Golden Age look. I think there was even a cancelled SuperPowers version with this look. The Terminator design came around in the late 80's/early 90's. They used this design once again in the Superman: Secret Origins comic. He's more Cyborg Frankenstein at this point as opposed to a full endoskeleton.
There's a single reference drawing of Metallo with this look (symbol on chest and robotic limbs) and I think it was for the cancelled Super Powers figure. It's a shame they used that instead of the look on the box art. I would have bought that figure in an instant. What McFarlane made is an ugly mess.
McFarlanes reuse of these bodies and that of the Superman rebirth bodies...and many more are getting really old really fast. To spend the amount of money I have already for different head sculpts and next to nothing for eccessories when purchasing NEW figures may cause me to stop collecting McFarlane altogether. It's piss poor and lazy production and shame on me for getting suckered for the past 3 years.
I like your videos, don't get me wrong. But why do you settle for such shit? call the company out for shit releases. Ive given away what McFarlane figs I have. Just horrendous. Price point is mute having to purchase these in AU. Have a look at what Jada are doing for the same price point.
I love McFarlane toys This isn’t one of their best but in hand it’s better than I expected Just like our companies, they have some excellent releases and they have plenty of duds The reveals today at sdcc are soooooooo good Jada toys too small ruins it for me Even smaller than marvel legends But they are nice
McFarlane started out with mostly completely new molds for every figure. It’s only the last couple of years we’ve seen this ridiculous amount of reuse. It was inevitable. Cheaper for them means more money for development of new molds, which they are still producing. It’s still nowhere near the likes of the old DC Universe or Hasbro Marvel legends, where literally 95% of every action figure they’ve ever made uses the same buck. Let’s be grateful for what we have people.

Some of the mold choices seem odd and I’m also pushing for them to get more female figure molds out there. I’m getting tired of seeing that Knightfall Catwoman mold. Let’s be grateful for what we have people.
Of course you’re the jada type. Jada is pure shit if you look at the paint and sculpt issues. I bet you think legends are the best line too. Idiotic take .

How much did the new 52 red hood cost you? He’s very expensive
@dHuntersReviews Around $27 at walmart. I was honestly surprised at the price being that its not a platinum release.
@@1solo9 then it wasn’t the new 52 red hood that was the first one they made
The new one is Dawn of the dc

Nice
Thx
I had a lot of different people give me their thoughts as work came from but I’m pretty sure you are correct and they all made something up
@@dHuntersReviewsthank you I just have to make a correction it was Alan Moore who wrote the story not Grant thank you again
Actually this version made some appearances prior to that story. He's based on the Bronze age look of the character and this version actually was not based on John Corben, but his brother Roger. After John had died Roger became the new Metallo and sported this look. This was your late 70s early 80s pre-Crisis look
Interesting…
It wasn't Grant Morrison, it was Allen Moore.
Blue azrael drawing 💙 today..im sure u got it already, just saying. 😮
I got 2
=)
@@dHuntersReviews nice 👌 homie!!!
Finally a couple eql I can ignore
Eagerly awaiting the next one I need!
good review bro
looking at him, it s possible I have seen a story with him once long ago...
most of him looks awesome, but the red... maybe a little black wash would do wonders here
as he has the same problem as patriot Hasbro, the red looks plasticky - cheap - toy
it needs to be worked on to look more realistic somehow.
the concept is really fun, kryptonite powered armour, yeah!
and superbly sculpted, and cool little logo printed
same issue as freeze, just the colours, it can be better.
oh wow how luthor is so much better with the grab hands and colours for legs
I love the sculpt, and on luthor it shines
yep, next version should do that better, or just a black wash at least.
and grabbing hands! he can only grab these crystals in one hand as is, LAME!
I d want him to grab weapons, accessories, props, ropes, kryptonite green, tie superman!
now he just shows a rock.. ; come on superman! can you grab this?
so now you know...
good show bro
Long time ago in a galaxy far far away
I wasn't thinking about getting Metallo now I'm leaning into getting him. Plus that mask makes him look soulless and creepy
Yeah, I enjoy him more than anticipated
I used the lex luthor for a custom Mr freeze before McFarlane made official Mr freeze figures.
I won’t be getting this version of metalo. I want that more traditional version you mentioned.
I remember your custom
Mine is backordered an no targets around me have it
I find that hard to believe
Have you checked the app for store pickup and given then the Dcpi number?
I thought todd mcfarlane took more pride in his work than that, Or at least something with his name on it. I don't know.
Maybe he's not even really like act of in the toy making of the DC line.Anymore and someone else is in charge just lazy as fuck
The figure isn’t that bad, just not the version of Metallo I wanted.
@@dHuntersReviews The?

I believe he used this look in the 80's when he was being used as a villain for Blue Devil.
I will look into it

The art was definitely not from the golden Age that they used as reference

@@dHuntersReviews Yes, I think that was from Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's Secret Origins run.
Sometimes the reuse is a bit much but it’s the best line out there and I absolutely love it. Still, all the new reveals are absolutely phenomenal.
Bro he has a lazy eye
He can’t help it
11:14 I think you're confusing Cyborg with Android
Android is a robot who looks human
Cyborg is a robot with human parts
@@dHuntersReviews Cyborg is a human with robot parts i believe
It’s something with human and robot parts
@@dHuntersReviews alright, let's agree on that.
You’re right I believe it has to originally be a human. That’s why the terminator is not a cyborg, but a cybernetic organism.
I like your videos, don't get me wrong. But why do you settle for such shit? call the company out for shit releases.
