I was planning on ordering a Lantern at BBTS but I'd rather have these Lanterns on the smooth body they used for the Silver Age Hal.
A bit strange the Collector Platinum Lantern is using a textured suit of that Silver Age Hal. 🤔
PO'd Huntress and the battle damaged TDKR Batman at BBTS. Huntress will be fun to add to the bat family on the shelf, and I only got the Batman so I could steal the lightpole accessory from him for my Mafex figures from the same story. I'll probably sell the Batman minus the light pole.
I would have done the same but have the lamp post from the old DC Direct fig. I do applaud McF for the diorama pieces, it’s the way to for ‘collector’ figures.
The previous collectors edition waves like Sinesto and Penguin didn’t feel worth the $30. With the Superboy wave and now this one, they’re really starting to show the added value. Multiple heads, accessories, and even diorama pieces. The chases not only being repaints is good and bad. The chases should be more 50:50 ratio on things like that.
In one of the overseas leaks/POs of upcoming figures, there was a listing for an 85th anniversary 'Shadow of the Bat/Breyfogle' Batman figure.
If true, that would be an immediate pick-up for me (in multiples). Thinking it would be the Knightfall body with darker blue/grey colors (Maybe some cel shading? I know a lot of folks hate that, but I think it can look pretty neat), wired cape, yellow oval and head sculpt in Breyfogle style.
I received Agent Liberty this week from MTS EQL drawing.
The Batman Forever figures were finally delivered today from MTS.
I went to Walmart this morning and the vampire Nightwings were gone & replaced with PE Ben Affleck Batman from the Flash movie, regular & PE Dick Grayson Batman, regular & PE Adam West Batman, PE Hugo Strange & PE Bullseye Batman. I didn't see any Fusion Batman figures.
I ordered Fusion Batman, Dick Grayson Batman & Adam West Batman from MTS. I did pick up the PE Dick Grayson Batman, PE Ben Affleck Batman & PE Hugo Strange. I didn't need a B&W Adam West Batman or the Bullseye Batman.
I'm glad I went at 7 am, there was another guy that showed up after I started looking at the figures. He just waited until I was done, the aisle was empty when I got there and my cart was blocking the area.
I may have to go to Target to see if there are any PE CE Superboy figures there. Still looking for the PE Sportsmaster, Manhunter & Reverse Flash figures anywhere near me. Also the Atom & Green Arrow.

McFarlane went the route of keeping consistent GL suit textures. Sinestro, Kilowog, Kyle, and the last John Stewart all have this texture. Now we have 4 more GLs to match it. Plus, you can put the Hal head on either of these bodies for a matching Hal.
The silver age Hal can work in a JLA display, but sticks out in a GL corps display.
Found a Platinum single carded Lucius Fox at a different Walmart yesterday, so he's hitting now (unless he already was & I just missed it). I skipped the Tumbler, so it's nice to find Fox out there.
Must be nice - the Walmarts in my area are either not doing restocks and/or are not carrying the line anymore…
Are there any planned/rumored/leaked plans for the new release of the blue and red Cavill Superman?

Yes, he will be in a 2-pack with Doomsday with possible battle damage. Also a Platinum, most likely with angry or heat vision eyes.
Got a few DC Multiverse figures from Target recently.
Metallo— I hate the weird side eye. The figure is ok otherwise. I like this reused armored sculpt. I hope we get a fully robotic Metllao at some point. The side eye almost ruins this one though.
Cyborg Superman— Awesome figure! I would have preferred a classic version, but this is a very cool looking figure. I like the poseability as well. Impressive.
Mr. Freeze (Batman animated series colors)— I passed on previous versions of Mr. Freeze because the paint/colors didn’t look appealing to me. But this darker version looks very nice. Love the metallic silver, blue, and purple paired with the black on the armor. I don’t even have a standard Batman from this line yet.
