Got the red Azrael and he’s really awesome. Continuing the trend of this line handling armored characters very nicely.
Wow that Sarge Rock looks spectacular. I have enough guns that I don't really care if he comes with any or not.
Well I don’t have a surplus of small arms in that scale. I can probably find some, but I don’t feel it’s too much to expect an action figure of a WWII soldier to come with his weapons.
The only thing stressing me out about that awesome looking Sgt. Rock figure is that I hope I'm able to be online right at noon on Friday when he goes up for pre-order so I can snag one (or two). Because like most McFarlane PO's these days, he'll probably sell out everywhere within 10 minutes.
@jayjonah The thing on his back is a shovel. Why it's painted gold is beyond me.
@magnusprimal obviously. Just saying how I feel on this particular matter.
I know. Just adding my 2 cents. No personal attack was intended.
@casimir Oh, okay, didn't think about a shovel. I guess it is attached to the pack. I wonder if it can be removed.
Not really jazzed about the question marks on the Jim Carrey Riddler stopping at the sides of the costume. Makes it look printed like a paper doll outfit. Even just a few question marks would break the the blank green on the sides.
I thought the same thing, but then no one else remarked on it and I forgot to look up reference photos to confirm. The lack of printing on the underside of his arms, knees and sides is terrible, and the shade of green doesn't feel right. Also, I feel like he needs visible lower teeth.
I'm very underwhelmed by Riddler and Two-Face, especially after how great the B&R wave turned out. If I pick the villains up at all, it will be loose.
It would've been nice, but McFarlane's attention to canon details isn't great all across the line. I'm still excited for this wave, as they're a huge step up from the Kenner ones I've had since 95.
Fingers crossed the trend continues and we get a Batman Returns wave next. My picks: Batman, Catwoman, Penguin, Max Shreck, and a Build-A-Figure Red Triangle Circus member please, Todd!
The gun thing is weird but expected. I could even overlook the Bane kneepads. Nobody on the design team knowing his shirt and pants are supposed to match is what's annoying as hell. Unless that's the inflated price platinum edition.
bro saw Tiger Force Dusty and said, "hold my canteen"
I picked up Penguin from Gamestop, this one is a solid release. Sculpt is on point, I love the head. It does what I need Penguin to do. I wish it had pin stripes on the pants. Once the box goes in the recycling and the trading card stand goes in the bin of limbo, there's really nothing to suggest this is a $30 figure, same with most all of the "collectors' edition" sub line. I wish they would just do away with it, but it's more likely that ALL releases go this rout eventually.

This is why I'm waiting on this one. Sculpt is a homerun and Batman rogues are my jam. Should be a day one preorder. But I can't support this testing-the-waters pricegouging. I'll wait for discount or pass. I've got prior Penguins.
collector's edition conner kent, will have two heads and extras set of hands
@ditko is there a New 52 Batman on the way? That’s the main Batman on my list besides that new absolute power Batman from that new Dc event in July. I remember I’m discord Q&A Todd was interested and said he was down for a New 52 Batman
@rebirthbat dude there isn't anything leaked for the rest of the year. He ain't coming for a bit.
Now I do expect him to come, along with every look Snyder/Capullo gave us, every armour. Just be patient my man.
Also Todd says he's open to virtually everything every time he's asked about something so I'd always take those answers from him with some salt
@grammat I just recently watched a video on rumors/leaks for 2024/2025 so figured I’ll ask if anyone has heard anything. Then there’s was confusion but that was on McFarlane’s part on that Digital Rebirth Batman where some retail store were calling it court of owls Batman
