@mysticmanjrf That'd be great, thanks! I guess it all depends on whether Gamestop can actually fulfill the order.
If it makes you feel any better, I find that GameStop is consistently the most reliable place that I order from. I don't think I've ever had them cancel a pre-order on me.
For example, when the Wonder Woman pre-orders first went up I was driving my mother to a doctor's appointment, and by the time I was able to pre-order her, she was sold out everywhere except for Target and GameStop. I have the Target app on my phone, so I pre-ordered 2 of them on there to get free shipping. Later, when I got home at around 3pm, I noticed they still had her available at GameStop. So I ordered a couple there as well just to hedge my bets. But like you, I figured that the GameStop order would get cancelled because it was so late in the game.
Well, fast forward a couple of months, and my Target pre-order gets cancelled, and on that same day I get my two Wonder Woman figures delivered from GameStop. And the same thing happened later with Nightwing. My Target P.O. got delayed, but GameStop came through again.
So, there is a very good chance you'll get your black and gray Knightfall Batman.
Please put Reverse Flash on the Flashpoint Flash body.
Yes, I was late to the party on Wonder Woman as well, and GameStop was the only place that still had her up for preorder. She shipped on or near the release date they had listed.
@xavion2023 I happen to walk into a GS about a month ago and found her. She came home with me. I haven't seen her since.
Wow, two females in that whole list, geez thanks McFarlane. I'm pretty sure if McFarlane would do the females right they will sell. I can say the same thing Ninjak has for GameStop. I have never had a pre-order canceled and GameStop is where I got my Wonder Woman.
Order: 1100000065119865
My 2 sets of the COIE have shipped. I'm hoping I receive a chase of the Hal Jordan Spectre and I got plans for those Superman bodies.
Hey does anybody here think that McFarlane once he receives the cases from overseas has his warehouse team open some of those cases and take out the Platinum figures to be used for his chase figure drawings, that Run Fair or whatever its called.
is there a NON platinum dark knight catwoman?
all the ebay listings are for the platinum edition.
does the standard edition come with the batpod package?
@jayjonah whoah, whoah, whoah...Todd is trying his damnedest to make sure you don't turn into a serial killer by buying too many female action figures, and you owe him your gratitude!
@misterskeezler Oh yeah forgot that, sorry Todd my mistake. I will slap myself with a wetted Q-tip until I bleed in your honor Todd. 🤣
KnightFall Saga Nightwing
I don't think the head sculpt he came with captures Grayson from this era. This is a headswap with the boxset Jason Todd, aside from the hair being too short, I think it looks way better.
My Crisis pack finally shipped from McFarlane. Also, I was able to get the BvS Batman from Target this morning. I like this figure a lot.
Given Todd's predilection for modern looks, I am hoping Fire is in her Welcome to Smallville costume. Not only because it's a very slight tweak of her JLI look (meaning she'd fit well in that team display), but because a sculpted jacket piece could potentially be reused for other female characters like Black Canary and Power Girl.
Is there a correlation between the more blatant cost cutting and the announcement of the DC license renewal on May 31, 2023, or is that just my imagination?
By “blatant cost cutting” I’m referring to reuse where it’s simply not appropriate for the character due to the sculpted details (i.e. Rebirth Supergirl), Animal Man not having his jacket, the back of COIE Superman’s belt not being painted, etc.
This isn’t meant to be a “McFarlane DC Multiverse Sucks!” post. I’m just trying to figure out what happened. There are still very good figures being made, but even the most ardent supporters of the line have to admit that we’re seeing lot more shortcuts and crazy pricing in 2023-2024 that we weren’t seeing in 2020-2022.
I’m thinking that McFarlane doesn’t renew the license after it expires at the end of 2025. I think he’s accomplished what he wanted to accomplish, and I’m not sure how well it’s working out for him financially.
I've been enjoying McFarlane's DC Multiverse line but I really hope someone else gets the license next year. The Crisis pack being so expensive, the inconsistencies with scaling between characters has been annoying.
I understand reuse is a common thing with mass produced toylines but some of the reuse is getting really lazy. Don't get me started on having desired characters/ looks as platinum chase figures (Hawkman).
When does Todd's license expire anyway?
My guess on the heavier reuse in 2023 is that, I'm assuming, they have designated budget for each year, and a lot if went into the Flash wave (all new sculpts, batmobile, not to mention batwing), so they ae relying on reused molds to recoup the costs. Like I said, no idea if any of this is true, just a guess.
Some potentially great figures in that leak list.
