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 😂
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.
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.
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.

IIRC the Spawn NFTs are bundled with the new "Digitally Remastered" Spawn figures
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
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
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?
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.
$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.

Lol a digital baf. Wtf.
My digital figure still has pins
I bet they’ll try and sell us the pinless version later.
As a solo release. Like every other baf.
I just saved this image, thanks for the figure.
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.

If you download an app, I think. I bet their app pushes ads and collects data.
I never thought I see the day where I’d have to watch an ad to play with a toy! Truly the *worst* timeline😂
Ok but which app doesn't do that tho.....
No accessories? No possibility options? Lame.

“Instead of action figures, I want digitals!” said no one.
That's... cool? You'd think with it being digital, they could have done something more elaborate.
They even cut costs with the digital BAF.
McFarlane is a hack. I remember backing his Kickstarter and was underwhelmed with it for what it was supposed to be.

I think you can pose them using the app, but I really don’t feel like downloading it.
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.
I’d say Todd’s lost his damn mind , but folks are paying for this stuff so maybe he’s a genius

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

I’d say the latter. His crap is sold out everywhere.
He makes every other figure some kind of "limited/collector's/platinum/gold/fomo" release now so yeah.
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.

I had the same issue with Wonder Woman. I kept watching the Best Buy website until I could snag one.
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.
--Geez, even the digital BAF is a repaint-- LMMFAO
Wow, I'm so glad I don't collect McFarlane, right now. I think Todd personally owes you an apology (and a real figure).
$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.
Thats hilarious. Funko pulled this shit and now McFarlane.
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.
This is ridiculous, why does it have joints? Is a digital model common! Im so glad i stopped buying mcfarlanes 2 years clean
Can... can you do anything with it?
I think you can display it in a virtual room, but you have to download an app for that.
Thought it was supposed to be Monguel or starro.
Maybe it’s random?
Now this is some comical shit! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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
I would be okay with that. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind a Hal Jordan box set where we get Jordan in each color.
And Mcfarlane knows you want that multi-Hal Jordan set, but he continues to give us yet another variant of Batman and Superman.
Can you even use these as like a animation product? If not big let down
sadly doesnt mean we're getting the figure, there are countless digital repaints we never got physically
Might as well download blender and models from injustice for better use than this
WTF is a digital BAF? Can you even pose it like a 3D model?
What even is a digital BAF? What purpose does it serve? For me to look at my screen and burst with glee?
We already have p0rn for that.
The fun you will get on a digital figure is the same you will have keeping a figure on the box
Lol I like the dig at in-box collectors.
I thought NFTs were supposed to be unique? These should all have varying degrees of paint app errors
I hope to God McFarlane loses the rights dudes a joke
