McFarlane Toys General Video Games (Fallout, Diablo, etc.)

Found the Walton Red Platinum today and noticed he looks a bit shorter than DC McF figs - are the Fallout figures in 1:10? Does he look like he could fit into an ML collection as Sonny Birch?

They run a bit smaller. It's strange. Like an in between no man's land.
 
Allegedly Amazon will ship the NCR ranger on Monday. I almost canceled him but I'm glad I didn't for TV show reasons, though he's overpriced as FuuUUCuuucck.
 
McFarlane Toys and Sony have announced that they will be making action figures for Helldivers 2, God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Twisted Metal, Ghost of Yōtei, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon & Bloodborne.

Guess Spinmaster didn't work out (to no one's surprise) but I'm having a hard time getting excited about McFarlane handling these. They ditched the Witcher line pretty quick, and I've just never been impressed by any of their products.

Guess we'll see if this goes anywhere. I'm not sure they'll get much more traction out of this than Spinmaster did, but at least they're better at marketing.
 
Sigh. Here we go again. On one hand, it sucks that we have to start from scratch, but at least Spinmaster didn't make it far, so that starting over feels like a huge hassle. As long as we get well-detailed, well-articulated figures, and a good selection of figures, then I'm down. I know McFarlane could absolutely nail some of the Infected from TLoU, if he chooses to go down that route (which he absolutely should- you gotta have Infected for the survivors to fight).

It makes me hopeful that most of the games listed have a fair amount of strong female characters as well. While you could still technically have a line without, say, Tess, Marlene, Dina, Chloe, Nadine, Elena, etc.- they're all crucial characters in the series mentioned. Even though he's been doing better lately with DC and such, I don't want to see him backslide.

If he knocks these out of the park, I wouldn't even mind seeing him tackle a series like, say, Resident Evil or Silent Hill.
 
With Lucy and the Ghoul in hand and having been bitten by McFarlane's utter failure to even finish the core cast of the Witcher (who gets the Witcher license and doesn't make YENNIFER?) I'm just completely meh'd by this announcement. I have two versions of Ellie and Joel and neither are scaled how I want them and I 100% know McFarlane won't scale them the way I want them either.
 
Oh yeah, my expectations are lower than low right now. Part of me is excited just to be getting things from some of those games, but part of me is also expecting subpar product. It didn't even occur to me until I saw someone online mention that he may just be producing more pre-posed statues, and not true figures, in which case, I'd also be out. It's an uphill battle at this point, but I'm cautiously (and probably stupidly) optimistic that he's at least learned a little something from the feedback he's gotten elsewhere.

Then again, it's Todd, so who am I kidding?

Did you ever get the Lim Toys "Those That Remain" or "Rest of Us" set? Whatever they called it. I love them. True 1/12 scale.

So, the rumors were true. At least they will probably be in scale with the old Neca stuff, but damn, I'm not interested in Mcfarlane's stiff af figures with those ratcheted joints, and those terrible hip joints. I know for a fact that they will not be better than the Neca Kratoses, or the eventual Aloy be better than Spin Master's.

But if we get characters they never did, especially from games like Bloodborne, which are included in the license, then I guess I will be getting some of these, depending on the quality and the price.

But honestly, when will Todd hire a good designer who can actually do a good articulation system? When will they hire better sculptors who know what human proportions are? They could be great if only they cared more.
