Figures that everyone said weren't very good, or just plain bad, but you got them anyway. And you're determined to like them. For whatever reason

For me it's Captain Cold and Heat Wave from DC Collectibles. They're probably my favorite characters from the CW show, and they're really my only options for collectibles. Their sculpts are decent, but their articulation is...well , shit. Still, I'm determined to like them in spite of these things, because they look awesome standing together

Those, and pretty much EVERY NINJA TURTLE TOY Playmates release nowadays

>CW Captain Cold and Heat Wave
They're actually not that bad. If anything I feel like it's the paint that brings them down. Beyond that, Cold's hoodie could have been shaped better.

I just ended up customizing mine with the hood pulled back since I prefer that look.

I'm glad I got out of capeshit tv shows before I added all those flash/arrow/gotham figures to my order list.

I really enjoy the DC shows, but the figures are all so bad, they're an easy pass.

And they never made the ONE character I'd buy regardless of fugly level.

Why does Captain Cold even exist in the same universe as the far superior Mr. Freeze? Also the CW shows are terrible and you should feel bad for watching that garbage.

Why would batman exist in the same universe with the far superior Superman?

Captain Cold isn't supposed to be Freeze or the other way around, they just have similar gimmicks. Like every other DC ice themed character.

Kek. Batman is completely different than Superman and is a much better character.

Why does DC fail so terribly at making figures? They cancelled their first good line after just doing the fucking Crime Syndicate and Icons is already in life support.

I've seen people saying there are a lot of good Batman figures out there and all of them have garbage engineering are tiny or are tacticool PAK-tier shit designs.
I'd be fine with at least one good Year One Batman but no, DC has to make great sculpts and then slice them like savages to add their idea of articulation.

Heated it with hair dryer then shaved some of the excess soft plastic so it can easily bend backwards and have a less stiffer frame. Then I just put a lot of superglue on the back so the hood would stay flush on the figure's back. I trimmed/shaved off some of the fluffy edges of the hood so the overall volume of it looks closer to how it was on the show.

Sure is retarded troll.

Everything is on a ball joint or ball-hinge.

The Deathstroke figure is somewhat decent. His shoulder joints aren't great, but overall his articulation is diverse.

Hinges, swivels, ball hinges, it doesn't matter. Several other toylines have solved the sculpt cut question, even the party of mediocrity that is Marvel Legends, and all of them got to avoid the Captain Falcon Amiibo look of anything DCC has ever shit out because of it.
If they can do balljoints, why does every single DC figure looks like oversized Kenner Star Wars figures? Why can't they fix that? Are they retarded or something?

Find him for a good price, even though I was looking for Kup or Topspin (who are apparently impossible to find). I was young and optimistic, believing I could make it work, I could come up with a fan mode, I could learn to love.
Alas no. This figure is just the worst.

The American figure industry is fairly retarded and sticks to 'tried n true' aka obsolete methods of figure making. Including in this case making fully static figures and then cutting joints into them.

Sad to say, but Hasbro's at the forefront of figure articulation these days, and even their stuff is retarded compared to a figma from 10 years ago.

honestly? I think it all depends on how much articulation a certain figure needs.

Sure, the Captain Cold one could use a bit better articulation but he doesn't need as much articulation as a Revoltech Spider-Man (which by the way, Spider-Man is a character that should ALWAYS have ridiculous amounts of articulation)

But honestly, Captain Cold and Heatwave aren't exactly gymnasts. You don't really need too much articulation to pose them in a way that would match their characters from the show.

Like I said, they still could have done a bit better, but I've made it work. I think mine look good posed together

>I'm not retarded or trolling, now watch me backpedal!
I also like how you proved the point on why DCC uses the articulation that they use. You thought that the joints were so minimally intrusive that they were cut and that's the point.

You can tell at a glance that any line that you're talking about has more intrusive joints, and are sculpted in such a way that gives them better range. DCC has purposely done the opposite and even showed diagrams as to which lines you should buy if you want them to be more poseable.

> why does every single DC figure looks like oversized Kenner Star Wars figures?
Probably because you're thinking of Mattel's cheaposhit.
DCC's stuff is above NECA and Mezco's stuff and right around McFarlane's best.
DCC's most poseable toys are around Figuarts levels, but you really don't see that, because most western collectors aren't into retarded LOLSORANDUM XD posing.

It's nice that they put the torso swivel as a balljointed diafragm joint and the waist joint is a crunch but everything below and above the torso is hasbro legends-tier.
I'm not even asking for extreme articulation, and you could've at least posted their BvS Superman which is closer to a modern articulated figure, but I don't think I'm asking too much of their PREMIUM fucking LINE to have butterfly joints when marvelshit has them or those up-and-down hips figuarts use when 5 dollar kits made for literal children use them all the time.

>Probably because you're thinking of Mattel's cheaposhit.
I'm not. DC Icons has been unacceptable by pretty much any standard unless you're a bottom feeding DC shill with no standards to speak of.
It took them what? five waves to start putting thigh swivels when everyone else was doing it; and then they put them in the middle of the thighs like retards instead of trying to hide them like, again, even Marvel Legends did.

>DCC's stuff is above NECA and Mezco's stuff and right around McFarlane's best.

Is expecting your batman figure to be able to crouch properly LOLSORANDUM XD posing?
Sure, I guess, cool, but only one of them can use any of that figurats articulation and the others all look like a kid on an oversized winter coat because of le mezco meemee.

You're a great backpedaling champion and there's no way i can seriously respond to you, especially when you say that they're ML tier and keep trying to claim that they're totally like SW Kenner figures.
