Fuck.
I was trying to maintain a sense of cautious optimism about these things since the van looked pretty nice but these look worse than the Funko minis and some look worse than the Original minis.
Peridot got the worst of it which is awful for me because she is my favorite.
And with the show in it's rapid downward spiral these may be the only articulated figures we ever get of these characters.

They should've put more effort into making them look like actual characters instead of Lego knockoffs. At least it isn't some big-headed chibi shit, but that isn't saying much.

Combine that with a loud hatebase and the show's quality dropping like a rock and it makes things look bleaker than they are.

Those are still the gimpy prototypes from Toy Fair. They're all hand painted and stickers.

The production figures should look much cleaner, judging by how exact the Five Night At Freddie's figures look.

Well the design looks really cheap so it's the ideal pairing. A shitty looking cartoon was never going to get some higher quality figures made. Maybe a Jazware if you got lucky. ;)

To be fair, this look like the prototypes.
And even if I would liked they looking a little less "block set" like.
Maybe the final product would look a little better.

I kind of like the Ban set

If anyone is minimal efforts it's LEGO. Only they do the last bit right and that's the only thing that keeps them ahead of MegaBlox, because megablox minifigures are some of the best, despite weakly painted. Their bricks are poor though.

As a consumer, seeing this compared to a GS protoype makes me think this was done for a highschool project and repurposed to sell PC shit. The fucking "Ban" looks like was printed at office depot and the paintjob looks like it was done without thinning the paint first

anon they just make an 5 poa action figure and have you assemble it. Same with most of the sets, it's just parts that can only work with that set and limits imagination and creativity. There is no charm to it. They don't understand the charm of the modular brick market and I feel that's their biggest flaw.

One of the best things about McFarlane's sets is taht they're more than simplistic building blocks that look like simple kiddy-looking sets, but also quality dioramas that fit in more than one scale.

I honestly dunno. I guess because the show plays around with sexuality and identity so much and deals so much in emotions, it immediately gets associated with social justice and the disgusting current form of feminism (both of which deserve all the hate they get and then some). Thing is, the show doesn't seem to push those agendas. It doesn't talk about privilege and shit.

One thing I admire the creator for, is rather than bitch about other peoples' art and demand characters be changed to represent what she wanted to see, she did what so many (myself included) say that someone who wants to see certain types of characters in media should do... make your own art with the things you wanna see in it.

That was my take on it too. Steven is a little whiny but most kid characters have some annoying quirk so it's part for the course. Otherwise, it's usually a fun show. I want to say it's tumblr that triggers the alt-right but frankly the alt-right is always triggered. If they want to stew over a cartoon, fine.

It's basically the transgender version of how Chris-Chan (who is, hilariously enough, a transgender) sees himself in his Sonichu comics. People with that mental disorder see the characters as powerful versions of themselves.

I'm honestly really surprised that it hasn't gotten toys yet, considering the basic nature of the designs and the rabid fans.

The problem is that the show is good but the fans suck, even on /co/.

But the reason people are bitching is because it's often put on indefinite hiatus and when they have Steven Bombs (week long event with a new episode each day), that's the only time stuff relevant to the plot of the show is aired and that's once in a blue moon. Like >>6287504 said, it falls into shitpost central because of the hiatus.

That's actually what's nice about Steven. He starts off as this annoying kid who has this idolized version of his mom. But he's starting to learn that people have to take responsibility for their shit and that his mom wasn't as great as everyone made her out to be. It's pretty nice.

Pre-production photos and concepts. I'm pretty sure these are made and painted by hand, they should look a lot nicer once actually created and released.

And making 2D cartoons into 3D has always been difficult.

It's decent. There's far too much filler though and most of the characters become caricatures of themselves after their arcs are over.
