- Upcoming Red Hood CE will be og Detective Comics
- "Batman TV Show" is an Adam West release with a bunch of accessories
Stoked for Bloom and Red Hood for sure!

Postponed? As in delayed until later in 2024? Or just off the release schedule?
Huge bummer either way.
Well what's interesting is that the JLA wave are actually barcoded as "Gaming", so they might not have been an actual thing. In either case, I'd assume its a MTS exclusive. But Cyborg Supes was postponed from last year till this coming Spring (same wave as the new Tim and Chases).
So I'd say they'll come, just who knows when.

If that means Joker, as opposed to Jason, then I am STOKED.

You mean the current JLA wave that outsides now? Or the Justice League Task Force wave is gaming? It makes sense for Justice League Task Force to be considered gaming since there was a 1995 video game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_League_Task_Force_(video_game)
I rent it a ton from Blockbuster as a kid and am very excited it's a wave. Despero is in it and would be the BAF I assume.
Ah, I remember that Justice League Task Force game! If I were to build a McFarlane-style BAF wave around it, I feel like it would go like this:
-Batman (Knightfall in very dark blue/grey with new head)
-Superman (mullet head on a decent body)
-Green Arrow
-CHEETAH
BAF: Despero
Mary was the stand out of this movie, if they were going to do a one-off (which this no doubt is), I would have been in, but McFarlane thinks girls are gross, so here we are…. I’d also be in for the whole family, but that will never happen.
Yeah, if it had been Mary it would be a purchase. But no Mary, so it’s a pass.
Wonder if this Shazam will have his T-zone obviously spray tanned like the single release. That was a very odd paint choice that turned me off from buying the figure and I can't figure out why McF keeps doing it - Poison Ivy has it, but at least on her it kinda reads as her exaggerated make-up, but it's not right.
Seeing that little Mr. Mind tucked in there with the Shazam's, I'm surprised Todd managed to suppress the urge to go all Hasbro and call it a 3 pack.
@gpmartin414 the newly released one yes, they're under as DC Gaming.
And yeah from the same leakers they saw a blurry image of an arm and suspected it was either Doomsday or Despero, with us getting a full classic Darkseid MF in the next MF wave I'd say odds are it's Despero.
The TF wave is Bats, Aquaman, Supes and Flash, so very similar wave to the JLA so I'd wager postponing it is most likely due to that. But who knows with Todd, the set could randomly be thrown up on MTS today.
And on that note, the Joker/Punchline set will probably have another release alongside it right? Very rarely is one thing just dropped these days. Ambush Bug maybe?
Sorry to double post, but per Digital stuff and the McF Discord, Freeze, Booster and Ambush Bug are up for PO 24th and will have digital pieces also.
So Joker and Punchline on the 23rd, then Freeze/Booster/Ambush Bug on the 24th?
Mistah J and Punchy look awesome, btw. Gorgeous recolor of the best current Joker body, cool new head.
Got a tip on platinum Dark Knight Batman and scored him this morning at Target. Azrael Batman is also hitting my area.
I saw digital download Aquaman in person while I was on my runs as well and I think I'm going to cancel my amazon order for him. I'm not a fan of his faces and the trident gets wavier with every release. It looks cheap and I have a lot of Aquamans already that look good. The inconsistency of this line is really something. Half looks really good, half looks like crap.
