The page punchers supes wave reminded me why I loved the line I loved the brand new sculpts, the interesting character choice, the little repaints, I’ve become extremely picky from now own, although I did regrettably pick starfire up as she is apart of the only team I’m actually building and my favorite team in all of comics
Was able to find the Platinum version at Best Buy. Unfortunately I didn’t see any Starfire but I love how you added the penguins 🐧 with the Penguin lol
This format works great! Whether people like it or not, you're just saying what a lot of us are thinking as we pass on a lot of these figures. I'm sure the completists are a dying breed when it comes to this line. On another note: Did you get your Ramen Racer yet?!
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but platinum is not going anywhere, they seems to double down on it. There are going to be more platinum variant like the blue knightsend Azbat and more platinum like the catwoman. It is going to be frustrating as hell
Great video Josh - I love this new format and appreciate your authenticity and sharing your thoughts on the recent releases. It was great to see you on the DC Infinite Hour - hope they have you back soon. And as always your poses are awesome, gives me some inspiration for my shelf!
7:19 you know when that tumbler comes out this is gonna look even dumber. Everyone’s gonna be stuck with a rubber cape Batman that can’t fit in the car lol. At least if this was a wide release they could avoid that problem.
Personally I think they should get the molds ready, open preorders and then go with whatever is ordered then over produce by a thousand or so, so stores can get in on it too. That would eliminate sell outs and peg warming for the most part
Thanks for the shout out! The Page Punchers waves have been some of the most exciting figures McFarlane has made since he got the license for DC. I understand the frustration with repaints, and I do my fair share of complaining about them, but I'm happy to have nice, well articulated versions of characters like Zsasz, Cassandra Cain Batgirl and Penguin. The old Mattel Cassandra Cain is the most poseable option up to this point, but she's dinky, costs an arm and a leg and still isn't that poseable. In situations like that, I'm more accepting of repainted figures. 🤷
I’ve really been on the fence with McFarlane in the past year. There’s a lot of repaints, watered down lines and the all the more pain in the arse preorders. Don’t get me started on his Superman offerings. All of them suck but two figures have good face sculpts. The Action Comics Superman with breaking chain gimmick and the Superboy Prime have had the best faces. I ended up popping the Action Comics head off the reused body and putting it on TDKR Superman body. Looks great. I wanted to get the Zsasz because I’m a fan of the Norm Breyfogle run on Batman. No go. I do appreciate the wired capes on some of the recent releases, still the cannibalism of characters and misc items is egregious. He’s doing well on the Batmobiles, except for the Tumbler. Size is right but the proportions and details are off.
@@JoshFromBefore I just checked and it’s going for $29.69 on Amazon. Not sure if that’s still high for you. Those figures with the card display are over $25 anymore.
You nailed it. in the past 6 months i've moved on from mcfarlane to other brands. Even the new darksied has bane's arms. his legs and arms don't match. it's mind boggling they can't give us one perfect thing. especially with a figure that is guaranteed to sell out.
Did you see Todd's last interview with Shartimusprime? He was trying to talk Todd into doing pinless joints like Jada Toys' Street Fighter figures, which I think are great.
I know how you feel. Since I dropped mcfarlane more than one year ago, I have been more happy with the new lines I collect now. It would be cool to see what you do posing other figures with better articulations. I love the DC universe, but I'm not going to come back to mcfarlane
I like this format to show several figures in one video, but I definitely enjoy your deeper review videos even more. Thank you for pointing at the stupid platinum chase versions, the useless NFTs and how overpriced the collector's editions are for what they are.
😂 I do have fun going hunting for platinums … that’s the fun part…!!! That’s the whole point of a platinum to make it hard to find . It’s too easy to just seat your a$$ and order online … To me is a great idea … get this generation out from the retarted phone 📱. I agree the collectors edition is not there yet … they need to up the quality if they keep charging 10$ more than the regular versions
Rob Zombie, no sh¡t. The musician series *are* pretty frikkin' rad. Hey did you ever come up with weapons for your Super Powers Vigilante and Peacemaker? Thank you, Josh! You're one of my favorite reviewers. Your customs are f*ckin' right on. (I build a lot of terrain and scenery for my figures and indulge in occasional character creation too!)
I have put a considerable amount of time and energy into explaining precisely *why* I am "down" on the brand. Would you care to engage with the actual substance of what I am saying? Because I don't need a surface level observation of my opinion.
@@JoshFromBefore I get why you’re down on McFarlane. Not invalidating/dismissing how you feel or think. Certainly NOT telling you how go about releasing content. You haven’t released any content in a while so when I saw that you posted a video I was pumped. Then I watched it and it was well kind of a downer of a video. Again m, you’re allowed to feel that way you feel about McFarlanes recent business practices. This new video was just for me had a lot of negative vibes.
Man, this is nowhere near the level of Anthony's Customs. He said he likes the figures. Just not the stupid gimmicks and the lack of pack ins to go along with price increases. I'm sure if he didn't call out some bs you would call him a shill.
And there you go, after your bratish spoiled rant were you said you werent gonna do more Mcafarlane toys review, here you are, no principles at all... they always come back.

I was rewinding the vid to see if they were in the box with Penguin. That would've been the selling point for me! lol

No word on the Ramen Racer yet, hoping to get an email about paying for shipping any day now. I can't remember - did you order one?
@@JoshFromBefore I did. I got my order on Tuesday. You must be in this next batch that just left the factory.

Oh, and that Brainiac is dope af. I really like interchangeability/modularity and assymetric designs help catch the eye.
7:19 you know when that tumbler comes out this is gonna look even dumber. Everyone’s gonna be stuck with a rubber cape Batman that can’t fit in the car lol. At least if this was a wide release they could avoid that problem.
I saw a review where a guy put the one with the rubber cape in just fine.
DAVEcaveDAVE in hand review.
Thank you for your platinum comments. 100%

Love the new format, great to have a long video with cool poses, can’t wait for the livestreams my friend!!
I want to see a ' collectors edition ' swamp thing on the giant return Superman build.😂❤🎃
Loved watching this! It was great seeing content from you again!

Hey Josh. I agree with what you said about certain platinum edition figures that Mcfarlane is making harder to find & get.
lol shadow of the bat i had the sealed arkham popout that came with it :) 😍

I’m waiting for the price on that Action Comics Superman to drop, so I can put that head on the Earth 2 Superman from the Infinte Earths wave

You mean the classic retro Darkseid with the cape? I didn't even notice. That's super lame. At least on a megafig there should be more care put in.
Yep.
You’re the man Josh, appreciate your honesty. Keep doing your thing 👍
Great video and awesome poses as usual. Where did you get those little penguins to use with the penguin? They look great
Search "toymany penguins" on amazon, these are from the 12 piece set.
Blah that Platinum Batman was mid for me since I can make my own wired capes, as well as the Digital figs they do suck but I want all my Batmen Figs.
Did you see Todd's last interview with Shartimusprime? He was trying to talk Todd into doing pinless joints like Jada Toys' Street Fighter figures, which I think are great.
Like the new video style!
I really wish they would have done a different version of Victor Zsasz. I really like the creepy bald version
I know how you feel. Since I dropped mcfarlane more than one year ago, I have been more happy with the new lines I collect now. It would be cool to see what you do posing other figures with better articulations.
I love the DC universe, but I'm not going to come back to mcfarlane
I like this indeed
Loved all of these. The page punchers figures are awesome. Also loved the new collector wave.
Love the new ¨videos¨, keep going man, great content always, as a huge toy and dc fan I fucking love it!
I agree with u! Again, great video
Josh your posing always spot on
I like this format to show several figures in one video, but I definitely enjoy your deeper review videos even more.
Thank you for pointing at the stupid platinum chase versions, the useless NFTs and how overpriced the collector's editions are for what they are.
that penguin and poodle girl display 😍
Josh, the little Penguins. I need em! Where ??
Search "toymany penguins" on amazon, these are from the 12 piece set, I think they were like $14
Great job!
BOOM SIR!!
Any thoughts on the darksied?
Looks pretty great, but I passed. I’m gonna be sticking mostly with Batman.
@JoshFromBefore damn understandable would have been cool to see the posed you'd do with him
What fun factor? I would argue they have none
😂 I do have fun going hunting for platinums … that’s the fun part…!!! That’s the whole point of a platinum to make it hard to find .

Josh is such a poser! ( a good one)!
Ngl, got me in the first half :p
Nice birdcage, where did you get it?
Unfortunately I have no idea where that came from. I *think* it was from a non-toy related tchotchke or something. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
I didn’t know I was watching an Anthonys Custom video. 😳
Man you’re really down on McFarlane these past few videos
