Reminder that if you want new articulated classic Battletoads, Earthworm Jim, Clayfighter, Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark, etc figures you have to go through these douchebags first
Reminder that they were supposed to reveal these back in October

I'm just glad I don't have to deal with their shit while pre-ordering Mythic legion stuff.

They got away from them asap.

Nobody cares stop making threads to complain about Megalopolis. If the toys happen, cool but it's annoying to see the same 3 people complain over their late toys.

McFarlane has had the license to Hollow Knight for over a year and still hasn’t made anything
I can only assume they’re waiting for Silksong but still.

Rash and Zit are pretty much the same size, with Pimple being the largest of the three.

Recolor possible. Cheapest solution would be sell one figure with glasses accessory so you have to buy two.

They don't have the license since probably some time in 2019. It doesn't seem like there's much interest from anyone else. And btw it wasn't disclosed why it didn't work out, we just know McFarlane doesn't have it anymore.

Nothing. They literally haven't released a single toy yet, but so far all of their licenses and prototypes are awesome. OP is just pretending to hate them for the attention.

Or, its Randy from Neca hating on the competition.

Not interested in McShitlane's attempt at Hollow Knight. They will wind up huge and completely out of scale with every other figure in existence because brainlet Todd dosen't care about scale and just thinks, "hurrr i make da toys big cuz ya get more plastic for yer money durr"

Given the other responses to this comment, you're just trying to start shit. And if we're talking Hollow Knight what scale would you want them to be? You're obviously unaware that the characters are inherently tiny, so they wouldn't scale with anything regardless of the size of a potential figure...

Yes. I realize they are tiny bug creatures. But the scale on the left of this picture looks a lot better than the one on the right, which is what McFartland would wind up doing. Imagine for a second that Hollow Knight was added to Smash Bros. He wouldn't be microscopic, and he wouldn't be massive. He'd be a little dude.

He’d probably be the size of that pic’s Silk in Smash. I think that’d be a good size for a figure.

This thread is just going to be a video game figure thread. Video game figures are a massively untapped market outside of Mario, Halo, Gears of War, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Mortal Kombat & Overwatch who’ve gotten good, extensive lines.

How the fuck has there been no 6/7 inch Resident Evil figures since 2009? How is there no good Donkey Kong figures? Or Mass Effect which has tons of designs begging to be made into figures?

Relative to what? 6" figures? 12"? 7"? 4"? There's no general scale. And assuming you're saying human on the left is 6", then those bugs would be 2-4", and idk which company you think makes figures at that size. Not to mention it'd still be horribly inaccurate, even if you think it looks better.

I guess he's waiting for Rob Liefeld to design the figure

1/12 Leon is up for preorder now anon, and they will almost surely continue at least with Claire.

Also, as far as Mass Effect, ThreeZero, PAK, and DC Direct all made figures. Unfortunately, they all had some sort of issue for most collectors--ranging from not being very good, to being too expensive, to the line being axed before making the whole cast.

Stores probably didn't order anything.

There's quite a few toy lines that don't get support and are quietly killed off every year.

I have that Leon on PO, but he’s still not officially licensed. Capcom’s just sitting on money.

I’ve also seen all the ME figures & yeah I think they all look like crap or they’re waaaay too expensive for me.

Capcom is full of dumbass decisions like that though, it's nothing new. They have a fearsome roster of IPs that would literally print money if given new games or merch, but nah, let's keep em locked in the vault doing no good to anyone instead.
