Just for a gut check in this batch of new releases ... Nightwing, Superman, & Steel - Steel's the only one with a platinum chase, right?
@dhunter333 huh, I guess it is in the promo pictures... But man, I really hate the way it looks. What a weird decision.
The Platinum Steel looks like they are trying to do a DCAU color scheme, but the cape blows it. Without the cape, it might work, and if they kept the cape red, it might also work. As-is, it makes no sense.

the next multiverse platinum is supposedly the dark knight Catwoman single release
for real the blue wash on steel ruined the figure, definitely going to track down the platinum and paint the cape red.
I saw photos in a Facebook group confirming that the blue coloring also exists on the platinum version of Steel. I don’t think it’s a paint wash either. Looks to be (poorly) blended into the plastic to create a chrome effect but it’s pretty splotchy.

my platinum has almost no blue stuff
very little
I wanted to be all in on Todd's Reign of Superman stuff but we're not off to a good start. Besides the blue splotches, the S on Steel just isn't accurate for the storyline. I know Eradicator and Superboy aren't technically billed as being "Reign" figures, but I'm not sure how quick we'll get another version of either. Particularly Superboy who would require more than just a repaint. It's too bad.
To be honest I think they botched the whole 90s. What is mentioned above plus a too tall Impulse, bulky Tim Drake, and wrong Parallax hair color. Even Bane (an incredible figure) isn’t Knightfall accurate.
I also really love my DCUC Reign of the Supermen figures. Still the best mullet Superman to date IMO.
Depending on your preference (and willingness to pay a premium) you could have a pretty decent pre-Infinite Crisis or mid 2000s lineup with some of the newer McFarlane figures…
I ordered the Kyle/Kilowog set, if only because I'm just hoping for more Lanterns in general and want to show there's interest. At the very least, the other Lantern Corps leaders- Star Sapphire, Saint Walker, Indigo-1, Larfleeze, though I wouldn't mind more Greens like Tomar-Re or Salaak. It's a line that I'm surprised isn't more fleshed out, given Todd's propensity for cool designs. I know he skews more toward the "spooky" side of things, but there's more Black Lanterns to be done, and more nightmarish Red or Yellow lanterns. He could absolutely nail something like a deluxe Kryb.
Still, I missed Kyle the first time around, and he seems to be the only one from that wave that's kinda hard to get, and I do quite love Kilowog. It's not exactly my "perfect" version of the character, but I really don't have any nitpicks with it either.

I am fine with Todd's Azbat, Bane, and Kyle GL (even if it's the earlier lighter green one), and I can take a brush to Parallax's hair if it ever really gets to me. Tim and Impulse are bummers. We never even got those looks from DCUC. If we had it wouldn't sting as much.
Love that DCUC mullet Supes.

bane is based off a rebirth storyline

we definitely got that look for Tim in DCUC they just messed it up
you think McFarlane is lazy and does too much re use? Here’s Mattel with repainting the OYL Robin red suit with fins and long bat cape into their 90s Tim Robin…
