The only amusement I got out of the new DP wave was seeing Black Tom and thinking of this...

I really hope they find a way to keep Brolin as Cable in the MCU.

The upcoming Deadpool wave. Pirate DP, Blue DP, Shiklah (with a baby shark with legs do do do do do do), Sunspot, Warpath, Black Tom Cassidy, Maverick, with Guido BAF. Yeah, it sucks. I actually wanted Shiklah, but the face doesn't look particularly pretty from the pics I've seen, and she should come with her dragon, Bug, instead of Jeff the baby landshark. I'd also be happy to get Jeff to go with Gwenpool or Deadpool, but Hasbro's Jeff isn't round, or cuddly, or cute enough, or whatever. Pretty much every other figure in that series is boring and/or dumb as fuck. I kind of find Pirate Deadpool amusing, but if I ever got it, I think I might just give the katana sword to my Blade figure (I seriously want that katana since Blade's sword is way too traditional Japanese) and lose interest pretty fast. Yeah, pirate looks good and fun, but not worth getting. I wanted to get the Madcap head, but there's no body that works well with it. I thought the pirate might but, nah. Sunspot looks good, but not a character I care anything about.

If they made a U.S.Avengers Sunspot, I'd buy it, but that'll never happen. Not EXXXXTREEEEEEEEEEEME enough.

I like the 4 colors together, looks great. But I'm really surprised he didn't get outfitted with pouches and pads then.

The loose ends of the mask, which is basically headband, tied behind his head, those are worth two pouches on the '90s scorecard.

But isn't that based on the Liefeld redesign? Not enough pouches, and too many feet.

This guy went up today, and after 30 minutes of wrestling with the goddamn website I finally got one. The One:12 line is kinda hit or miss, and this one is REALLY expensive, but ever since the line started I knew I wouldn't be able to resist a Christopher Reeve Superman.

Figure looks too bulky (maybe it's just the arms) and than grin is fucking terrible. Happy that you were able to snag this figure, since you wanted it, OK, but I find it really disappointing.

It is a little bulky, but I still think it works. I like the way the cape looks around the collar, and the wire in the cape itself makes it look like it would be easy to get a natural drape over the shoulders.
But I'm a huge fan of the simplicity of the suit in that movie, and they nailed it. And yes, the smiling head is awful and I hope they change it. I won't use it either way, but I still hope they change it because it's awful.
And FUCKING HELL the Mezco site is a total clusterfuck for their exclusives. The 1989 Batman was also a struggle, but nothing like this.

The other head is also probably too serious.

Yikes. Either they're going for an exaggerated, retro-style design, or they just made a really ugly toy. Either way, yikes.

Hooo, it is ugly. When I saw that on the front page I didn't even click because it looked so dumb. It's like someone said "Hey! What if we added joints to the style of the original He-Man figures and plopped a mutant Arnie head on top?" Boom! Newest executive.
Some of the others don't look as bad. But that is straight up anus meat.
The talking Deadpool head would've been an eventual purchase except for the bleeping of bad words. The just don't fucking include them in the fucking thing anyfuckingway and find a better fucking way around it.

Apparently that Conan was made for this pose (and only this pose, I guess):

They're from Diamond Select, so there's no way the production figures will look even that good.

Or easy to pose and have some floppy joints. But I'll still probably get them.

One:12 Gotham By Gaslight Batman. This line is really hit or miss, but when they hit they hit the damn bullseye. I love Steampunk Batman. Also, either nobody knew this was going up today (it's a Mezco exclusive) or they fixed their website because I was actually able to order one without wrestling with the site for 20 goddamn minutes.

So Todd's doing real Spawn figures again. Hope he makes the MK11 Commando Spawn.

Redeemer, Gunslinger Spawn, and Clown 2 2.0 look great, but I've never been a fan of them so I'm passing. Chunky Violator looks weird as fuck, and I don't like this new Raven Spawn (perhaps because it's not as clean as the earlier figures). There's a 12" Commando Spawn (from MK11, I think) coming out, so a 7" version seems inevitable at some point. I hope Todd finally makes that updated Curse of the Spawn figure he teased right before he stopped making figures for a while and then went and put the thing out as a fucking statue instead. And I want the figure in red, like the proto was, not the black that the statue was. I don't give a shit that the original Curse of the Spawn figure it was based on was also black. It looked fucking cool as hell in raw muscle red.

I'm surprised there isn't a less fancy version of the Kickstarter Spawn. Maybe with the basic figure the same but with a cape that doesn't use as much plastic as 3 other figures.
Also, it's not a great sign when one of the swords in the promo shot is already bent out of shape...

I'm down for all of them but I'm a little disappointed that Redeemer isn't the original with the purple cape. Always preferred that one.

Also, it's not a great sign when one of the swords in the promo shot is already bent out of shape... It was designed by Liefeld! NEVER miss a chance to bag on that turd. Never. I haven't paid too close attention to McF for a few years, but I'm not ignorant of the strides they've made getting better and better properties either, which has helped them push to be among the front in terms of detail and articulation. If I was Todd I'd want to redo all that cool shit that helped push comic & culture toys to be what they are today, with the tools of today. Should be some fun stuff in there.

Well damn. Instead of the Commando Spawn costume they decided to go with the (if I'm not mistaken) NRS original version. Probably my least favorite of his 4 costumes in the game tbh. The energy pieces are cool though.

The energy pieces are cool though. Not a fan of this guy, either. Reminds me of "Uber Jason" from Jason X mixed with some of the other overcomplicated post-MK9 Nether Realm designs. Todd is making a 12" Commando Spawn (from the game), so a 7" version seems inevitable sooner or later.
