McFarlane loses his mind and Jada toys coming out hot with street fighter VARIANTS

[@Mr.Collecterverse]

Flipper Frank is working for mcfarlane now 😂

[@bnbtoys]

Only Todd works for Todd. Ask Liefeld!

[@Plvcky]

Jada Toys knows what the consumers want, good for them and good for us 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Note (for anyone who cares): that beat up car in Street Fighter is a Lexus LS

[@justintorres502]

Player 2 variants are probably the best reason for a repaint ever. It just works. God damnit.

[@alnafol]

40 bucks for a wired cape superman is a hard pass especially when juhn from jada toys said that M. Bison comes with extra hands, extra head, psycho punch effect and a two toned wired cape for 🔥24.99$🔥

[@miragexl007]

Wouldn't have thought of getting a pink chung lee. But for the price of these figures and a couple actually heads.. I'll probably continue with this line when I had no plans of doing so.

[@nicholasstein2567]

First time that I can remember, that I’m actually excited for repaints of figures. 🔥

[@jdarkseid7720]

That Fei Long has 2 new heads and extra hands and nunchucks fuck yeah this is the way to do “repaints”. God I love Jada best new figure company in America right now hands down. Also the Chun LI shit thank God their prices are perfect. I’m down for all 3 of these that Ken can team up with the evil ryu!

[@nashvillainz]

Totally agree about having these color variants having new accessories to draw in folks who have other figures and for them to give us a car to destroy for display purposes. 🚗💥👊

[@chicholino4454]

Ok. I´m gonna go ahead and say it: my dream is seeing Jada Toys acquiring the Capcom Resident Evil license. A man can dream. :(

[@Rocket1377]

Jada have said they are interested in obtaining more Capcom licences. Darkstalkers and the other Street Fighters (Alpha, 3, 5) were among the games they said they'd like to do. I hope they do Resident Evil as well.

[@georgepasymowski2508]

Nice review. Enjoy the weather. I'm in the burbs of Chicago and got hit with 6 inches of wet heavy snow. Spent 2 hours snowblowing. Mcfarlane Toys can keep all their 40 dollar figures.....some people only make 15bucks an hour....so they'd have to work 3 hours for 1 figure to cover the toy and maybe shipping.....too nuts.

[@AlphaProto]

McFArlane are usually $20. When Hasbro was raising their price they held their ground. I think it's $40 because of the build a figure. He is counting in the build figure into the price. The build a figure is supposed to be a free bonus for buying all the figures. Not a hidden tax. The only thing McFarlane has going or them is the $20 price tag. Unless it's a mega figure that's not going to fly. No extra heads, hands, flight stand, or accessories. Just hands and a card. I'm disappointed.

[@Thesmartestmanalive81]

his build a figs went from $25 to $30 and now $40. the proportions are always off on his figs and the lack of accessories deserves the $20 tag

[@thewatcher9500]

his customer base wont trust him anymore either

[@greenisharrow7948]

His other BAF are 25, Batman TAS BAF are 30. Someone got a response back from McFarlane as to why these are 40 which was because of tooling and production costs for a limited production run on 7 figures. 7 figures because there are 2 Chases as well. That said, I don't support the 40 dollar price tag for each especially this is before you include taxes and shipping

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

Nah, the build a figure is supposed to make you think you're getting a free bonus, but it's simply a way to make you buy the whole wave.

[@AlphaProto]

@@greenisharrow7948 they are going to reuse these body molds for sure. Especially the Superman. It's best to wait things out.

[@PeteCorp]

My Chunli face is messed up with narly mold lines. So getting the pink Chunli for the new heads is perfect.

[@popculturehero]

$40 for basic Mcfarlane figures seems a bit high. I have quite a collection of the DC and Warhammer figures. The lower price made the more frustrating limitations of them acceptable. I don't see myself buying more of them unless MCFARLANE makes toys for creature commandos.

[@zeroh2hero]

Jada street fighter line is literally a dangerous line, you'll never know what they will pull out when it comes to variants 😂

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

Hatter🎩when you said you "woke up this morning" it made me think of the Soprano's🔫tv theme song LOL!📺🧑‍🎤🕴🌇

[@el_covfefe]

You're honest and that's appreciated! I think the best analogy would be if snarf was 25 and now is 55

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

Jada is nailing it and man I want the Chun-Li variant. I'm not even into variants, but the extra accessories are nice. Maybe one day Jada will release an accessory pack with all the bells and whistles, but until then, I'll get the Chun-Li for the face and effect part. Jada has earned enough good will from me.

[@miragexl007]

I'm with you. I wasn't interested in these at all initially...no good resale possibilty and with things So high priced anyway I've backed Off a lot of collecting.....But these, at their prices, looks good and I just decided I might be getting these just for fun....even with some of the variants like Chung Li. huh.

[@leodenverrex3819]

Background crushed model-cars and army building prop barrels does not sound the least bit crazy to me at this point 👍😎👍 BTW yu forgot to say BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! 🤣

[@joseortega7815]

Use the WWE Wrekkin' Slam Vehicle for the "Fighting in the Street car". Lol

[@clhound]

McFarlane is the king of clearance, you can what you want for like $10 to $15 eventually. The gold label ones are where you get screwed normally.

[@pennilessgoldfish9963]

Jada Toys already make cars in various scales. They even made Street Fighter car+figure sets. So them making a beat up Lexus for their Street Fighter line is possible.

[@miggyyym8136]

Jada Variants are a slippery slope, glad I'm only sticking to the main colors but I think I will get the player 2 chun li for sure.

[@nicholashill8724]

You're only sticking to the main colours but also definately getting an alternative colour version?

[@sorryalligator]

I like that you begrudgingly addressed the latest Toddy crisis 😆 Been looking forward to your take, and it was on brand!

[@Rich575]

I love how Jada toys is giving me the same quality as storm collectible but with cheaper price tag! Idk what Todd is thinking sneaking in extra build figure tax especially how much negative attention the Batman animated line is getting lol

[@NotBoringFilms]

i used google translate. the top line says “deadline for first wave of orders.” 1/15/24 which i guess is when the preorders will open. the second line says “estimated release” june 24 for fei long and evil ken. april 24 for chun li. im getting those variants for sure.

[@Hilltopperpete]

I've only ever paid $10/figure for basic McFarlane figures. They're glorified kids toys, no paint, no accessories. $40 is hilarious.

[@VolcanicTiger]

JADA!!!! damn it they got me, I said no variants. I'm so gonna cave.

[@kenbest76]

For the SF figures, according to Google Translate, that date on the top is an order deadline and the bottom date is the ETA. So I'm guessing these screenshots are from some sort of dealer solicitation?

[@Mike.Knight69]

I can’t stress this enough, if anyone knows anyone working for Jada tell them to highly consider making a Final Fight line! I don’t want any credit for this I just want them to be made so I can buy them 😂

[@lastsunofkrypton7950]

Aw gawdammit. Now I have to get those variant Jada SF. I was only planning to get champion blue Guile and orange Chun Li if they make her, but those are too sweet to pass up. Well played Jada…..well played. Well looks like I’ll be using the money I saved from buying Mcfarlane toys this year to fund my Jada SF collection. Lol.

[@artforpizza]

like the street fighters.

[@Transfixed]

Jada is off to a great start with their figures! This is why competition in the market is good.

[@stevewegling8070]

Jada showing how to do exclusives/ variants, I was doing so well with the Ryus...passing... now these are going to a battle a hat trick. 👍✌️

[@SondicoDenann]

God McFarlane will smite you with 1,000 overpriced baseballs! 😂😂😂

[@SylenceEturnal]

More than likely, this BAF wave from Mcfarlane was supposed to be this year's Target BAF wave throughout the year and for whatever reason Target decided at the last minute to not do. One could argue that the inclusion of 2 chase variants means it wasn't meant for Target as the year-long BAF waves in the past haven't had chase variants. However, that Target exclusive Dark Knight Trilogy Bane BAF wave that was Jokerized was essentially an all chase variant wave. So, to see chase variants in BAF waves is not unheard of. Also, it can be said that since chase variants are simply just alternate paint schemes, Mcfarlane may have decided to produce some chase variants for the wave after Target cancelled their interest in it. If we don't see a year-long BAF wave from Target this year, we know that this was meant to be it and the $40 price tag is to recoup losses as much as possible. It could also be that Target just decided right from the beginning that the BAF Monitor wasn't enticing enough to get people to seek out the whole wave and so they passed on it but, production had already begun on it. Target may have requested a different BAF wave and that's what we may see throughout this year. Hell, it could have even been a BAF wave meant for just Amazon or Walmart with the chase variants planned into it from the beginning and then either of them decided to back out at the last minute. So many possibilities that could be the underlying cause. Whatever the case, and even though I was to begin with (and still am) disgusted with this price point, after thinking about it all day I doubt this is an attempt at a cash grab or a test to see if the price point can be raised further or anything like that. It seems most likely that some sort of cancellation occurred with a retailer and that this is just a way to recoup any losses from it. Given that the ship date is in March (which means the figs have been in production for quite some time already) and that the Specter fig is already sold out (which means they aren't making more than one production run), it seems most likely that this is just an attempt to make the best out of a deal gone sour.

[@TheTurtleNexus]

Google translate says what I think is pre-order window ends on the 15th, then ships in June. I think.

[@trtledave3079]

3:59 that's the Chun-Li just kicked me in the nuts face 😮

[@oscarofarrill]

Soon McFarlane figures will be $55 because that's the price we love 🤣

[@MegaP12im3]

Last video we had Violent Hatter.. Boom new character go buy a wig hatter...lol

[@heffphilat]

I pulled the trigger on the black light edition Mister Freeze. It wasn't 40$ . Thank goodness.

[@lareh5501]

7:31 aww man, and here I thought I'd be safe with just one psycho powered up violent ken, but that bonus stage option. 😳 If they had included a dented can, then one could get away with 3 violent ken purchases to get the 6 barrels stacked; and then use the extra ken(s) to paint into another variant color... _(there are what, eight colors to choose from?)_

[@chrisgilmore7643]

Todd is 100 percent smoking crack if he thinks I'm paying 40$ for his Crap. Not even if it's Batman!!! Wow He just getting us to finance his Spawn Movie. 😂😂😂. I always wanted a psycho pirate figure too.

[@Cinderkin]

Btw those dates for the Jada Toys looks like it's maybe pre orders go up 1/15, and they expect to release them in June. Just a thought

[@steelcurtain187]

The broken barrel is sweet 😂

[@dorionl1591]

Including the nunchucks and extra head is Storm collectibles level but minus the price👏👏💯💯

[@Cinderkin]

Hatter going off lately. Glad you're doing well brotha.

[@FluffyCajun]

I can get down with the Player2 figs being accessory packs essentially for a little higher price.

[@reiddutchess9955]

I run everyday and it would be wild to pass Hatter on the street some morning 😂

[@madhatterreviews6705]

Hahaha let’s race man!

[@reiddutchess9955]

@@madhatterreviews6705if I am ever in California, you got it

I regularly spend $100 on a fig so $40 is no big deal if i want that fig but from what i understand the prices stay the same for regular figures . As far as the jada repaintz i would like them to release some new characterz before all these repaintz since im always one and done as far as collecting philosphy .

[@MrMomobot]

Wooo Go JADA! Super excited for that Violent Ken!

[@fc.buyern.puff.bundesliga]

They look cheap af with almost no paint job whatsoever. Especially Kid Flash looks like a lazy a.s prototype with loose diaper, thick rim moon boots and an adult squarehead instead of a juvenile, skinny nerdy one. I started collecting McFarlane with the Black Knight Spawn of the Dark Ages 11 Line, i can not make that quality of back in the day unseen. That cash grab BAF sh.t is a very, very, very far cry from these days and an insult to every faithful McFarlane Collector. Only morons or masochists can not feeling betrayed by that lack of quality and the excess of price quantity! The hike season started with Monolith (+25%), then the Collectors Edition-Line (+50%) and now the Build a figure-line (+60%) and with King Spawn for 50 bucks (what is insanity too) the cash grab path for normal/ deluxe figures is paved. Tough to swallow for a Toddfather fanboy like me but he has officially thrown us under the bus and became a sellout! No toy robin hoodery anymore, just empty words and cash grab. BOYCOTT = Make McFarlane Great Again...

[@lukeg3reviews]

im so excited for the jada line wave 2 and 3 !!!

[@codemonkeyattack]

I like the McFarlane Super Powers because they're cheap and good enough but never got into the mainline other than a few Batman characters. For the SF I think the first date is an order by date and the bottom is the release date? But I'm using Google Translate so... Regardless, I wasn't planning on doing P2 figures but they definitely got me with that P2 Chun Li extra head.

[@aram5127]

When one toy company makes a really dumb decision, there will always be another looking to take their place as the affordable "go-to". I'll be impatiently waiting for that Guile to release from Jada.

[@OBSZIDIAN548]

These toy lines understand the psychology of sales.....

[@waynesmiley2207]

"Fighting in the Street Car" lol

[@greenisharrow7948]

The reason the Infinite Crisis Wave is 40 each is because of tooling and productions cost for a limited run production on 7 figures (BAF and 2 Chases included) This was a response someone got back from McFarlane. All that said, im a McFarlane fan/collector but definitely dont support or like that price point

[@SamuelMartinez-io1hg]

I don’t see Jada missing and I’m here for it! Especially for those prices, I don’t mind buying their variants at all 💯

[@BriarShinn]

Hatter did you see the Gargoyles dynamite comics Kickstarter?

[@28opium]

Will we get a return of Evil Hatter. To scrap it up with Evil Ryu and Violent Ken🙏🙏🙏

[@forshootsandgiggles]

Assuming that Ken will be the SDCC exclusive

[@Rocket1377]

It's supposed to be coming sooner than that. SDCC isn't until Fall.

[@MidnightGarou94]

i thought Violent Ken was based on his 1994 brainwashed version from the SF2 movie ? for 25 bucks Jada is knocking it out of the park as the sculpts and Articulation are on point for a fraction of the price

[@Rocket1377]

Yes, he first appeared in the Animated movie, but Jada Toys don't have the rights to that. Their version of Violent Ken is based on his appearance in the Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers video game.

[@silverrod88]

Crazy price 😮

I believe that head is called the O head.

[@impossiblepie]

Didn't mcfarlane issue a statement as to why this line is $40?

[@luckygnome]

Beginning of the end

[@NJR1984]

The fact that there have been like 42 versions of Street Fighter II means that Jada line will do all of them at some point.

[@thecasual_collector]

Spawn-uary has turned into Con-uary

[@TheScrltspdrslayer]

It doesn’t make it any better but according to something someone else said, he’s including the Build a Figure in the price. If you use the coupon it drops down to $25 for “5” figures. Now I’m not condoning that, and it doesn’t actually make it better because since when have we been charged for BAFs. But yeah that’s his thinking. And Jada Toys is on fire! If only those figures were easy to find at Target. All I can ever find is Fei

[@dendralen]

Aren't gold label more than standard?

[@SylenceEturnal]

Gold Label just means exclusive to one retailer (Walmart or Target or Amazon, etc.). In this instance these are exclusive to only the Mcfarlane site. Nothing at all special about the figures themselves. Just where they are available for purchase.

[@cali-guy9015]

I came across a mc farlane gold label robin the other day and i picked it up and i was looking closely at it…. The figure looked CHEAP it wasn’t painted well and the head sculpt looked wonky. And now they’re going to be $40😳!BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! No thanks mcfarlane😂

If he got rid of those ugly fat pins and the trashy fisher price my first action figure diaper…then I’d own more McFarlane figures! Sad he made more plastic into toys in the 90s for $5-10 each than he can for $40!!

If thats violent ken, does that imply the other ken is the pacificst ken?

Pacifist ken my be the one that eventually *_went home to be a family man_* with Eliza and then she became pregnant. Definitely a far cry from psycho powered up violent ken.

IDK ABOUT THIS STREET FIGHTER VARIENTS!!!! FROM WHAT IM LOOKING AT RYU, ALL 3 FIGURES HAVE DIFFERENT SKIN TONES. I NEED TO SWAP HEADS ON ALL FIGURES. THATS AN ISSUE FOR ME.

[@Rocket1377]

Evil Ryu is supposed to have darker skin, it's intentional, and is not supposed to match the regular Ryu. The p2 version of Ryu was corrected to be closer to how the sprite looks.

Maybe Todd is trying to scrounge up some money for the spawn movie that's never going to get made that he keeps talking about for the last 20 years.
