Found a lone Dick-Bats (Black) at a far away Walmart today. Most of the ones near me got rid of the line with the most recent reset. That said, Targets around me are carrying more and one even has Super Powers on the pegs.
I picked up The Atom and Green Arrow at Gamestop over the weekend. I love having an Atom figure in my DC collection and that it is a classic version. Green Arrow is a standout and I really love him. I just wish the hood would turn with the head. It doesn't prevent from being able to get him in a good bow shooting pose but it would be more natural looking if movable. Other than that one of my favorite Multiverse figures, at least until we get a truly classic Bronze age look like during the hard traveling heroes era.
I went on an absolute tear with several Multiverse figures. I picked up the entire wave of Batman Forever along with Batman & Robin. I picked up both versions of Batman Reborn, and to coinside with that release I grabbed Rebirth Damian, Two-Face as Batman, Necron, Blackest Night Batman and Red Hood. Plus I got the Batman vs Bane 2-Pack recently...Oh and I also got Penguin, Zsaz, Cassandra Kain Batgirl, The Atom, Silver Age Green Lantern and Curse of the White Knight Azreal
I need to slow it way down. In one year I've managed to accumulate more DC figures from McFarlane than I ever did with Mattel between 2003-2013, and I wasn't exactly a a cherry picker back then either. God Damnit why did McFarlane have to make figures from eras I care about....gyahhh!
Men in Tights Green Arrow is supposed to be delivered today. I think it's pretty crazy how consistently Todd has me ordering from him considering I do not collect this line....
And has everyone seen this Frostbite edition of Deathstroke? Looks like it's a GameStop exclusive. It's just a Deathstroke figure painted to look like he's frozen... it's a weird choice I think. Or maybe I just don't "get it". Definitely not my cup of tea.

Yes, a lot of the store exclusive have a "theme." This has been the one for Gamestop for a while now. They've done several of these types of Frostbite figures. Walmart has the DCvV. Amazon has the glow in the dark. EE has has Blacklight and Sketch variants. BBTS has the "grayscale" variants. Target was doing the Jokerized stuff for quite a bit, but that may have died down now. The only ones that I've bought are the Walmart DC vs Vampires stuff (which honestly are mostly not accurate to the comic limited series).
I can relate to the comments by @stoopid_sandwich above. I have a love/hate relationship with this line. I'm not terribly fond of McFarlane figures in general, but I've bought so many within just the last few weeks: Atom, Green Arrow, Rookie/Bloom, Sportsmaster, Manhunter, Fire, Cyborg Superman, Max Mercury, both versions of Clock King, Ragman, Sgt. Rock, Metallo, Kryptonite Doomsday, Mr Freeze, Ambush Bug, Joker/Punchline, Tumbler w/ Lucius, White Knight Batmobile. I'm expecting my pre-order for Darkside to come in any day. It's been a bit much and the camo version of the Tumbler. Of those that I've recently purchased, my favorites have been the Clock Kings, Ragman, Ambush Bug, Punchline and Kryptonite Doomsday.
I went to my local Walmart this morning and all of the figures I saw Friday morning are gone. The figures that are now hanging in their place are Max Mercury & Vampire Shazam. I went to the next closest Walmart and they don't have any McFarlane figures. It doesn't even look like they have tags for them. They did have Super Powers & Page Punchers but no Multiverse figures.
When the Walmart exclusives started with Parallax, you were lucky to find one in a store. Now they put a whole case out.
The Walmart I work at has at least 7 Batman Forever Batman figures, and the same number of PP Aquaman. There are 2 of the "phigital" Batman with the Bruce heads in electronics, and that's it.
The closest Walmart to me has had ZERO McF DC figures for almost a year.
Man, I would definitely buy the chase Huntress and Green Lantern, but I'm not chasing after them. That shit is just getting stupid at this point.

I was just musing about this yesterday but if you were to plot all of McFarlane's announcements, preorders and releasses on a typical 30 day calendar for just the DC Multiverse figures, it would eat up about 18 days out of a 30 day schedule. Todd is more laser focused on scheduling these figures than he is on the next issue of spawn from month to month. How does he keep this house of cards from crashing down month to month?? His workload must be staggering....

Breyfogle Batman???????
My whole life just changed for the better.
Sweet! So glad we are getting a Norm Breyfogle batman. In fact I was just opening my Zsaz and Penguin figures today and thinking to myself that if we don't get a figure to commemorate Breyfogle's Batman, I'd be sorely dissapointed.
I hope the Breyfogle Batman is what people want, but I'm sure something will be off about it. Like picking a preexisting Batman body (DKR) with a new head sculpt that might look like a Breyfogle Batman. It happened with the Year 2 Batman, that in my opinion looked nothing like a McFarlane Batman.
So is the Batman/Spawn Chase going to a be a single release of the Batman from the 2 pack with a possible repaint? I liked the Batman from that 2 pack for a JLA Batman better than the Batman from the Plastic Man CTB wave. I didn't get it because I didn't want Spawn.
DC MULTIVERSE VEHICLES – BATMOBILE WITH L&S (BATMAN BEYOND)(GOLD LABEL)
Don't do this to me again, man. This has been a leak basically since the line started and nothing ever happened with that.
I hope the Breyfogle Batman is what people want, but I'm sure something will be off about it.
50/50 chance.
What is the "Knightfall" Batman, then? It's definitely not Kelly Jones (who's art is on the actual card and box of the figure). Jim Ballant? Graham Nolan? Jim Aparo? To me the figure doesn't necessarily scream any of the above.
One of the frustrations of this line....
