Fire is just a reuse of Catwoman, correct?
Yes. I've seen closeups in box of Fire and Metallo somewhere on FB. He's reusing Luthor.
Man, I was looking forward to Mr. Bloom. It's a shame he's in a 2 pack with another figure I have zero interest in. I was kinda hoping for the taller, more monstrous Bloom too, but I guess I'll take what I can get (though I'm sure as soon as I get this one, Todd will release a Megafig). I'll probably wait to see if I can snag Bloom on his own (any of ya'll planning on getting the pack but don't want him?)
Yeah nothing here that really interests me.
With the zipper, the heels, and the thigh-high boots, Todd can't possibly be thinking of using Catwoman as a standard female buck, can he?
Can he.........?
@yojoebro82 He's already been using that as the standard female buck for a while, unfortunately.
https://www.target.com/p/-/A-91686505 Fire is straight up Catwoman with a new head
https://www.target.com/p/-/A-91686506 not a fan of this Metallo design
https://www.target.com/p/-/A-91369258 Rookie is nice and I wanna say that Bloom is all new sculpt? Doesn't appear to reuse any Constantine/Todd or Jon Kent parts
All the Target reveals today are a pass for me which is good with a few hundred dollars already prepaid to the McF Store waiting for shipments.
I'm a sucker for translucent stuff, so I went ahead and ordered the Fire figure. Seems a little silly to have high heel shoes made of green fire - kind of wish there was more normal foot sculpt in play there - but <shrug>
Love that era of Metallo and a flame-on Fire is great, but neither are for me. Really happy they're getting made, even if Todd can't pronounce Metallo in his video. It's nice to see the DCU expanding, and I have way too much to buy as is!
I was kinda hoping the Batmobile came with a figure like Lucius or something, but I guess it's good that I don't have to buy it and sell off the car.
I really want those Punchline and Bloom sets, but I'm probably holding out for a sale for both. The autograph doesn't really matter to me, so here's hoping the standard is reduced like all the other two-packs in the line...
these reveals are nice, fire is a okay but having catwoman suit details is turn off and metallo is cool, i'm so use to the animated look so this a nice change. i'll get them when they get marked down in a few months.
the rookie 2-pack is awesome, i like the gordon head, suck he doesn't have his pistol and no extra hands but it's fine. i'm not too familiar with mr. bloom so i'm not too concern how he looks.
i still have the my batmobile when dcd released it so don't need this one. i am please it's $80 bucks, i remember i paid like $100 bucks when it first came out, i will say the box looks eye catching.
Collector Edition Platinum chases
the new wave of collecters editons are live.
here are the platinums
OMG... the platinum Sgt Rock is SO stupid. I would be angry if I got shipped that version of the character. Like I get it's a cute joke nod to plastic army men but... yikes
Darkseid Target pre-order for those that missed.

I agree with you that I wouldn’t want it (but I was terrified I would be sent Super Powers Penguin instead of the standard version) but I can see this being a variant *someone* would want.
McF made that “Plastic Patroller” Fortnite figure that a lot of people bought for the novelty of having a fully articulated Army Man, I could see people who missed out on him wanting this version of Rock to have some version of that, and anyone who bought a platoon of Plastic Patrollers will probably want Rock to lead them now.
Also when fully green Rock doesn’t look too dissimilar from Sarge from the old “Army Men” games, so maybe someone with nostalgia for those games would want him as a “good enough” figure for their gaming heroes collection.

Unrelated to Rock, I’m really digging Bat-Manga! I don’t own a Batman on this buck yet so it’s all new to me and I really dig the design, I might even pick up the greyscale version when Big Bad puts up the chases for sale at a slight mark up!
There is something simple about Connor Kent's design that is appealing. Plus, rock base!
Fire has the best Rogue headsculpt I've seen. Kinda tempted to get her just for that and repaint. 🙂
