The simple answer is, collectors keep buying his stuff (and before the followers come, let me say I like some of his work; I thought he did a pretty good job with some of the vehicles). It doesn't seem to matter to many of them that Todd churns out egregiously over-used molds (Speeding Bullets mold for example) for character after character; that he does color swaps and just calls it a day (the Robin red green yellow suit with short sleeves used for the Tim Drake red suit, which doesn't have short sleeves- but Todd don't care), etc. That thing he passed off as Sgt Rock looks absolutely nothing like Sgt Rock, but he charged $30.00- and people bought it. I could go on, but the bottom line is he doesn't need to have attention to detail, he can be as lazy as he wants, because too many collectors continue to buy his products. The cult of personality, name brand, etc.
I've been thinking about that cyborg. And I'm wondering if he might see a mega figure release
This is actually a nice looking Flash figure. Nice to finally see a McFarlane figure without those skinny chicken legs.
Shown below via sb_toyz is an in-hand look at the new DC Multiverse Target Exclusive Flashpoint Cyborg Build-a-Figure Flash Figure from McFalane Toys.
Cy borg look really cool, I just wish he wasn't a build a figure since I don't want anyone in the wave.
Complete the McFarlane Toys Flashpoint Build-A wave to assemble CYBORG! Wonder Woman, The Flash, Project Superman & Aquaman are available exclusively at Target.
Whoa that Cyborg Super-Man is crazy cool, also why does that figure look import quality? McF doing something new with the articulation?
It's not a bad design, though like with the Eradicator I'd certainly prefer a Reign of the Supermen version. And I was actually wondering what the deal was with the Dark Flash variants. I'd seen the open mouthed ones out in the wild a couple of times, but no other version. Guess that answers that.
Looks good to me. I say good for Mcfarlane doing new versions of tired designs that have been done to death. There are plenty of garbage companies that made craptastic figures that appeal to grandpa panty loving DC fans. EBAY is your source.
