McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Steel and Sinestro Parallax Reaction

[@jyo3302]

"Because of those initials, i have to say All Star Squadron" 😂 I see what you did there 😅

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Seriously, it is something I never even noticed until we got so initial heavy these days ;-)

[@artiemulford8445]

I noticed the white eyes too & I get that it’s not quite accurate but I think it does look cool lol The ridges on the costume are strange though but it’s not enough to stop me from getting this one Good video though! 👍

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Thank you for watching it!

[@malcolmlee4821]

Jeff always with the deep cuts nice.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Appreciate it, Malcolm!

Hello Lyle! I am a dedicated fan of the Mattel DC Universe Classics line, and now starting the McFarlane line starting with the Adam West & Christopher Reeve (I hope BURT wARD & Lynda Carter is up soon!). I watched this vid and I'm a golden ager fan, I bought the Max (Quicksilver from National Comics, Quality Publications) Mercury and pl,an to keep the upper torso to add to Mattel legs so he'll fit in with my Quality Group (Freedom Fighters with Uncle Sam, Phantom Lady, Doll Man, Midnight, Wildfire, and Plastic Man). I didn't like the tassel chain that holds Alan Scott's cape and Jay Garrick's lightning bolt is too wide. Jay's face was not that great either. The Rival would of been okay but...🤔 that Shining Knight was a let down to me too! 🤥I wish Mattel or someone would continue the old line, finish the JSA, Freedom Fighters, start the All-Star Squadron, etc.! Enjoy your vids, take care!

[@LylesFigureFiles]

I'd love to see Burt Ward and Lynda Carter from McF. I need to find Max Mercury! Thanks so much for the kind words, Larry.

[@yodaiam6996]

They really need fully blank bodies, even here would’ve preferred if they just made the silver stripes thicker to at least match the shape of the ridged sculpt, it just looks so cheap when sculpt and paint don’t match

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Yep. Even just doing that would have made it look not so weird. Wonder how hard that would be to fix myself?

[@carloscunningham319]

Hey Jeff when do they drop at Target 🎯

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Haven't read yet.

[@retrorobo9700]

Not invested in the line (or character) but fun learning about more comic book lore that I'm unfamiliar with. From an "outsider's" view, the figure looks pretty good, but obviously I have no frame of reference to compare him to. This made me realize that we do seem to get a lot of costume design mixups with super hero action figures in this price range (sub $50). Is this a cost thing or am I trippin'? I don't seem to recall as many costume screwups with super hero action figures from companies like Bandai, Mafex, Mezco and such, but maybe they do and I just didn't realize. I have to admit that unless I'm fully invested in a character, I tend to gloss over the details sometimes.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

I'm working on a long form comic book lore video that plays into my normal wish list videos. Hope you guys like it!

[@davidthanos]

Ha. Good wrestling reference. They really dropped the ball on this. I really like the question though

[@LylesFigureFiles]

;-) He does look nice!

[@jontuell5338]

I actually dig that Steel. I'm not familiar enough w/ him to care about those small details; which is a blessing! Lord knows they screw enough figures up w/ tiny missed details or just flatout McFarlanizing stuff. It's very Mezcoish

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Mezco and their random design changes were so frustrating for me for years!

[@culeroconnor1686]

We have a McFarlane hour man ??!

[@LylesFigureFiles]

I wish!

[@greenman5229]

i was hoping the nightfall batman parts would become their new blank body.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

And it's a perfectly great body to use as the standard regular buck!

[@SirG.L.RIC.KAGE-Esq]

Greetings, Jeff Rey EL!

[@LylesFigureFiles]

My man Ric KAGE!

[@jeremykulow1970]

Henry Haywood Jr (Captain Steel) is often shown with white eyes, so this "Commander Steel" is probably another weird McFarlane amalgamation.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

That's such a weird mash up when everything else costume wise is right. That could have been our platinum edition with the hair showing.

[@fredthetank8386]

Been noticing a bunch of reuse from mcfarlane recently

[@LylesFigureFiles]

What's the biggest ones you've noticed?

[@devonbenart8196]

These are all a pass for me. Can’t win ‘em all so for those that wanted these, enjoy! Next round maybe I get some more that I want.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Are you looking more towards a particular character or team?

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

O think Toddy is making huge mistakes in choices. The classic green lantern should have been out long before there were multiple laughing batmen. Like with darkseid, it's too big. His fanaticism of the character wins out because the eccentricity of the look of some of the releases is too inconsistent 😂❤

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Darkseid's scale seems to depend on who is drawing him so I won't fault Todd for a larger Darkseid. Mattel made two different sizes for their takes on him.

[@SirG.L.RIC.KAGE-Esq]

Is a Green Lantern figure necessary? We know that's not a serious question for "Sir Green Lantern Ric Kage." 🙎🏽‍♂️ Next,

[@DarkDekicDuka]

Actually I'm beyond thrilled Todd is starting to use that Speeding Bullets bodymold more often. I think it's one of McFarlane's top 5 bucks ever - great proportions, amazing articulation, I frankly don't even care about the ribbed pattern.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

I wish he could use that mold without the ribbed pattern as it really does mess up the aesthetics on figures that shouldn't have it.

[@SirG.L.RIC.KAGE-Esq]

So... We just go act like Uncle Todd didn't make a gain by doing a decent figure of (Rhymes with Ric Kage)Vic Sage bka The Question? I know. Mattel covered him, but this is a worthy double-dip if there ever was! Beetle and Booster are a pass for me. DCUC did it best. I just sit back waiting for the absentee characters from Todd. Vic is a buy just as much as any Diana and Lantern figure. On the fence with this Commander Steel. Lady Knight is a buy for being on Diana's base body. However, I await the arrival of Sir Justin and his jlu Ace homey Vigilante (voiced by Nathan Fillion I might add.)🙎🏽‍♂️

[@LylesFigureFiles]

The Question figure looks great. I wanted a Steel figure that looked just as great too.

[@SirG.L.RIC.KAGE-Esq]

@@LylesFigureFiles I've seen STEEL in Tgt, right when the Red shirts were stocking and I saw BOTH variants. They look good. I took a pass as I'm trying not to buy too many superfluous figures. I've got my eye on the Mafex STEEL.

[@rickwj324]

It's like they purposely screwed this one up. So many plain bucks they could've used for Commander Steel. And that Parallax is an easy pass for me.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Yeah, I cannot figure out why they went with this mold for him!

[@ShawnSJames]

Prefer the Mattel Steel over this uninspired McFarlane Release.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

I REALLY wish Mattel gave us more of the Squadron and finished the JSA that they'd started!

[@mantistoboggan7228]

Another over priced figure from Clod McFarlane. His usual lazy, cheating, swindling work on full display for Steel (Sinestro looks way better), just take any other figure (in this case the Speeding Bullets buck) and slap that paint on, and viola. This guy is worth over $300 million and yet he's still out here, cheating the fans. The sad thing is that he knows there are enough suckers out there, who will buy it anyway. He's laughing at you, all the way to the bank.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

I'm glad someone is happy going to the bank.
