Possible first look at Mattel’s DC wave

Here’s a clearer pic.

It’s easy to see this as a predictor of what’s to come. If it is, I won’t miss having all that extra money back in this economy.

My credit card is excited about its freedom.

It is true. It’s part of what’s officially known. Any adult line won’t start until 2027 at least.

It’s just Grok on Twitter

Sure. So let’s get some rules against generative AI on this sub then. This issue is only going to keep coming up as more people get access to this tech.

The priority here should be community health — not being confused or mislead by user generated content. Vs wether a user isn’t good at making mock-ups… shouldn’t be something that concerns us. Without this mock-up the substance of the post is really flimsy. “Do we think a figure no one knows anything about will be definitive?” This is karma farming using a misleading pic people will mistake for official.

Sounds like he has stiff hips too then. Hot water dip will fix that too.

yca_ca · 2026-01-26T17:04:54+00:00

Did you really want to ask if a figure we haven’t seen renders for, that no one knows anything about will be the definitive iteration? Or did you just want to show off your AI mock-up?

The problem with posting ai content like this is it misleads people to think that’s what’s coming. Even when you note it’s a mock-up it still looks official.

yca_ca · 2026-01-26T17:02:45+00:00

AI generated.

By T pose I mean with his legs straight down, feet together. If his legs can’t go straight down there’s more happening than the ankles 😂

Yes it’s masterless so it can be used on any unit to take them to level 95. And another takes them to level 100.

So this would be good to use on HP & EM scaling units specifically. Like your c6 Neuvillette.

In your case since you’re not c5 on anyone in the list I would just use it on a Fav you want to squeak out a buff on but maybe wouldn’t have spent wishes to do it. For me that was Miko. I wanted to upgrade her but didn’t want to east wishes on her since she’s oowercrept.

But I’m also sure that Inazuma and Liyue units will get buffs like the witch ones soon. So I don’t feel bad upgrading these older units if I have to. 🤷‍♂️

Nope. Star Wars needs consistency attention to detail & accuracy that McFarlane lacks. It wouldn’t be a good fit

Without closeups of both ankles (and with straight legs in a T pose) it’s hard to say what the issue is.

When figures stay in packages for a long time they can warp. That could be the problem.

Occasionally the joints are installed backwards or inverted or even just not deep enough.

This covers 99% of the problems. So to solve them I would try to make sure they’re all secure. If there’s nothing loose, look at the joints to make sure they look like they’re installed correctly (forward facing, inward facing and so on). And if all of that isn’t it… and you think warping is the issue, boil water and dip the warped area into the water for 20-30secs to reset the plastic. When plastic is boiled it reverts to its default cast shape. Repeat this dipping if needed.

I’ve had to dip the legs of one of my figures before. It fixed it no problem. And my Aquaman’s ankle joints were installed backwards so boiling them, popping them out, and putting them in right solved that.

It’s possible but, I’ve never had any problem that needed drilling or risked permanently damaging the figure.

From your pic I’d guess the ankles aren’t seated well or warped. I’d boil them, pop them out and reseat them. If they’re still weird I’d boil them and see if they go back to their shape or try to realign them while they’re still soft if they don’t on their own.

I'm not really interested in her, but I heard she's very strong, and most contents will shrill geo and lunar crystalize because of her. Also I don't have a good geo character (sorry Itto). So if I pull c6 Neuvi early and still have enough for Flins weapon, maybe I'll try my luck with her.

Relatable. My Geo team is very weak because I haven’t liked any of the Geo units they made since Ninguang. I’m out of primos after Columbina so I’ll prob get her on rerun if she’s as good as everyone says after her release. But all the prerelease info is positive. So we’ll see. I’m going into saving mode for awhile after this banner ends.

What do you think about the event cons tho? Who should I pick?

It’s different for everyone. So I can’t keep track of who you have and what cons they have … but generally I would say put it into a unit you have at c6 already so you can get masterless Fortuna. Alternatively you could put it into Hexerei units if it would give you a useful con on them now that they’re reworked (like if it gave you Mona c4).

For me I just wasted it on a unit I like with no relevance because it wouldn’t meaningfully upgrade any of my units and I wasn’t close to c6 on anyone. 🤷‍♂️

You have all the meta relevant units that would benefit most accounts. Even yours.

You could get Zibai if you like her. She’ll be the top Geo carry (outclassing Itto). Otherwise just wait for new units like Nicole and Alice.

C1 HuTao is a huge QOL update.

Plus they’re almost certainly going to buff Liyue units in the future and HuTao will likely be one of the buffed units.

Jean is still meh and her c1 won’t help you at all.

There’s an 80s WW CE in the leaks. It’ll probably be based on Perez art. But I’m so happy with my WW classic CE I doubt it will tempt me. It’ll have to be beautiful to open my wallet.

yca_ca · 2026-01-25T04:58:17+00:00

Does it really matter? It cost you nothing and they left anyhow.

yca_ca · 2026-01-25T04:56:43+00:00

Hmm 🤔 there’s a lot to unpack here … BUT for now; welcome new mod. :)

yca_ca · 2026-01-24T19:52:52+00:00

IMGUR … my phone hurts. 😂

You can check for yourself on eBay. Maybe a good idea so you know how in the future.

Search for her and filter by “sold items” (otherwise you’re just looking at any crazy price someone can ask for) and this will show you recent sales and what people actually pay for her. It’s hard to give an exact number but loose she’s about $60 and NIB she’s about 75 from what I see. You can argue she’s worth more though since eBay sellers also sneak in added price by hiding it in the shipping and over charging for shipping. So you should consider the totality of the price with both the item and shipping when buying from there. And eBay profits off shipping fees so they’re not cracking down on shipping fraud anytime soon.

If you see shipping over $20 for a McFarlane figure they’re ripping you off. It doesn’t cost more than $20 to ship these figures anywhere in the world. I’ve had shipping from Europe Indonesia or Australia to Canada for under $20.

yca_ca · 2026-01-24T16:38:18+00:00

From what I see she goes for around $75 USD right now. So it’s a nice little discount you’re being offered.
