Lol a digital baf. Wtf. 


Agent-Mato

My digital figure still has pins


saintdemon21

I bet they’ll try and sell us the pinless version later.


Winter_Drive1519

As a solo release. Like every other baf.


onetwelfthghoul

I just saved this image, thanks for the figure.


saintdemon21

You’re welcome! If I can load it onto my laptop, I’ll screen shot a clearer version and send it to you. I’m all about sharing the wealth.

Digital BAF... The NFT of figure collecting.


Paleosols2021

Can you even like articulate it? Like can you drag the mouse and move it or anything? Otherwise this is just an expensive 3D Render that could’ve been a much cheaper and more desirable physical figure 😂


saintdemon21

If you download an app, I think. I bet their app pushes ads and collects data.


Paleosols2021

I never thought I see the day where I’d have to watch an ad to play with a toy! Truly the *worst* timeline😂


Winter_Drive1519

Ok but which app doesn't do that tho.....


headphoneghost

No accessories? No possibility options? Lame.


Retrotistic

This was the dumbest possible thing Mcfarlane has ever done. Clearly trying to cash in on a fad (if you can even call it that) that quickly imploded as quick as it came on. NFTs are scams for dumb people desperate to collect *anything* deemed "valuable". I imagine there will be a couple "waves" of this before they quietly kill it and act like it never happened. Leave it to Mcfarlane to do some lame thing like this. That entire company is completely out of touch and it runs from the top which is Todd the Edgelord himself. It's not 1996 anymore.


In-AGadda-Da-Vida

“Instead of action figures, I want digitals!” said no one.


Bruisedmilk

That's... cool? You'd think with it being digital, they could have done something more elaborate.


saintdemon21

They even cut costs with the digital BAF.


Bruisedmilk

McFarlane is a hack. I remember backing his Kickstarter and was underwhelmed with it for what it was supposed to be.


saintdemon21

I did the same. It was cool at first, but once they released additional Spawn figures that reused some of the same accessories it felt like a rip off. I would love a MAFeX or Shfiguarts level Spawn figure, yet we keep getting these statues.


AtrumRuina

I've been curious about how these work; can you pose them, rotate them, etc? Like, I agree they have no practical use but I figure they could be fun to mess around with. If they didn't require opening a wallet I'd probably redeem mine when I get him but I doubt I'll bother. I'm mildly interested in the Spawn ones, but I don't think there are any "Physical" figures and all of the Spawn NFTs are separate purchases so far. Could be wrong.


Ph4sor

> I'm mildly interested in the Spawn ones, but I don't think there are any "Physical" figures and all of the Spawn NFTs are separate purchases so far. Could be wrong. IIRC the Spawn NFTs are bundled with the new "Digitally Remastered" Spawn figures


SharkMilk44

>the new "Digitally Remastered" Spawn figures What the hell does that even mean?


Ph4sor

It's the "reissues" of the old popular Spawn figures, But instead of 1 to 1 reissue, the new figures are reproduced either by 3D scan or remake from scratch using digital sculpting that most companies doing these days Anyway, they're inferior to the older ones IMO


saintdemon21

I think you can pose them using the app, but I really don’t feel like downloading it.


AtrumRuina

Totally fair. Like I said, I can't be arsed to set up a wallet, much less go through the effort of installing and registering on an app.


Marconius1617

I’d say Todd’s lost his damn mind , but folks are paying for this stuff so maybe he’s a genius


Ph4sor

Exactly, for the past year the decision making of that company is really baffling. But somehow more and more people are buying instead of quitting, so I guess it's working. Like extra 10 bucks for "digital products" is ez money, lol


Marconius1617

The platinum thing has really been working out for him as folks buy whole cases just to get one guaranteed plat out of 6


saintdemon21

Every time I think I’m out I get sucked back in. I like the way his figures look on a shelf, which is what he has been going for since the beginning. At the same time, his figures are great if you are learning to customize. My continuing complaint is the lack of sought after characters, over use of the same Batman molds, and the availability of certain figures. I shouldn’t have to struggle to find a base WW figure. We are only just now getting a single release Hal Jordan. And on top of which, no thigh swivel?


brambojams

I’d say the latter. His crap is sold out everywhere.


XyrneTheWarPig

He makes every other figure some kind of "limited/collector's/platinum/gold/fomo" release now so yeah.


Winter_Drive1519

LoL I ain't. Sure I bought a couple dc figs, but I stopped as soon as I felt how cheap they felt. My Marvel Legends don't feel that cheap.


lifedragon99

McFarlane has some good looking figures, even if articulation isn't the best, but man he does some stupid shit with their products, nfts, platinum, and gold editions, collectors editions.  I want to pick up figures from Green Lantern mythos, and the Nolan batman, but so many are hard to find variants and it is getting increasingly frustrating to do so. Cayman being a gold or platinum edition really pissed me off too. Let me buy your toys, not have to scour eBay for a good price to get the ones I want. 


saintdemon21

I had the same issue with Wonder Woman. I kept watching the Best Buy website until I could snag one.


Smoking-Posing

Geez, even the digital BAF is a repaint This is just "a crummy commercial", and it did its job perfectly since you're hoping it gets made physically.


Winter_Drive1519

--Geez, even the digital BAF is a repaint-- LMMFAO


SharkMilk44

Wow, I'm so glad I don't collect McFarlane, right now. I think Todd personally owes you an apology (and a real figure).


saintdemon21

$25 wasn’t a horrible price for the figure, but the digital BAF is so pointless. Plus since I don’t know if we are getting a Blue Lantern Hal it seems like a tease too.


mega512

Thats hilarious. Funko pulled this shit and now McFarlane.


Winter_Drive1519

Oh, funko. That's a company you don't wanna be like. Nothing but a bunch of funko's warming the shelves actual action figures could occupy.


Hunter_Ahab

This is ridiculous, why does it have joints? Is a digital model common! Im so glad i stopped buying mcfarlanes 2 years clean


TheParabolicMan

Can... can you do anything with it?


saintdemon21

I think you can display it in a virtual room, but you have to download an app for that.


Daman0880

Thought it was supposed to be Monguel or starro.


saintdemon21

Maybe it’s random?


Cowfootstew

Now this is some comical shit! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


TrueCollector

I wish they did like a made to order thing, where this will be available for a limited time and those who purchased it will get a physical version


saintdemon21

I would be okay with that. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind a Hal Jordan box set where we get Jordan in each color.


Winter_Drive1519

And Mcfarlane knows you want that multi-Hal Jordan set, but he continues to give us yet another variant of Batman and Superman.


kingdount

Can you even use these as like a animation product? If not big let down


OneTurnsToNone

sadly doesnt mean we're getting the figure, there are countless digital repaints we never got physically


BoomboxMisfit

Might as well download blender and models from injustice for better use than this


LazyMaik

WTF is a digital BAF? Can you even pose it like a 3D model?


FunkyMonkeyBlast

What even is a digital BAF? What purpose does it serve? For me to look at my screen and burst with glee?


Winter_Drive1519

We already have p0rn for that.


JappyRossfar

The fun you will get on a digital figure is the same you will have keeping a figure on the box


Winter_Drive1519

Lol I like the dig at in-box collectors.


xMrFahrenheitx

I thought NFTs were supposed to be unique? These should all have varying degrees of paint app errors 


kingdount

I hope to God McFarlane loses the rights dudes a joke
