I am also not giving up hope on 89 Joker. This is a long shot. I do not consider it a lock the way Returns figures were. As far as the window of opportunity goes, the clock is ticking. As far as likeness rights goes, if Beast Kingdom can get them, Todd can, if the sculpting is on its A game. The crystal ball is hazy on this one.
My Kryptonian crystal ball 🔮 says Nicholson Joker is one of the last releases, near end of the year.
Dr. Fate went live a little early (hey, he's a doctor, he does what he likes)
Dr fate looks good, has that classic look
So with Walmart clearing out the McFarland stuff, are they going to be selling these latest figures or are the all sold online?
Rounding out the last of the "wave", here is the Two-Face review (regular, not the platinum). I do wish these things came with some accessories.

Lt. Gordon with a gun!
Huh, that really is a reworked Rebirth Batman. Weird choice with all the tiny out of scale biceps and modern stylings on the arms, feet and hands for an ultra classic low tech suit.
That's one small head and big ass gun on Gordon.
Good old Todd. Never change, man.
Jeremy Irons Alfred! 4/16

I was pretty surprised to find the point system, since I'm not in the collectors club, but the $20 off was nice. Too bad you can't use the 10% code with it. When the bundle arrived at my door, I found a scratch card inside the box that gave me another 25 points so I have just enough now to get another $20 off. That's a nice little system they have there.
I've bought stuff recently from MTS and found those cards in the boxes. I didn't pay any attention to them, I thought they were for the digital non plastic figures. I was going to throw them away but just collected them in a box. I noticed the QR code, but almost everything has one nowadays. I didn't realize they had a scratch off for redemption until after I read your post. It says one time use, but I don't know if you can only use it once or if I scan them all they will add to my current points. You don't know how much the code is for until after you scan it. I was going to try and type the code in on the website but I don't see where to do it unless it is only in the redeem line at checkout.
EDIT: The first paragraph is a quote from TheRealSmallville. I guess I deleted the quotes when I was trying to keep only what I was referring to.

I knew they would use the Constantine body for Gordon some day.

On the points page, as long as you're signed in, it's under the "Ways to Earn" section. There's a box that says "redeem code for points", it's sort of mixed in with the others. That's where you would manually type it in.
Hoping I can nab the Two-Face and Dr. Fate Platinums at retail. I know they've been showing up at Walmart, but the Walmarts in my area are pretty sparse with product. Even in the Electronics section where McFaralane's stuff has been moved.
I also regret not ordering Page Punchers Shazam. Really want that one, but that ship may have sailed.

I've been looking for those two plats for a month. Nothing but L's at my local Walmarts. One even showed 3 in inventory, but when I got there, the associate said if it's not on the floor then they don't have it...someone may have stolen them. All three?! When there's literally a police officer stationed at the exit??!
As I stated previously, Shazam-gate is real. It's like they made more plats than regs, then Amazon turned into a scalper.
Gordon comes with a GUN!?!?! Surely this is a flare gun, surely. In all seriousness it looked a bit oversized and likely a 44 magnum (despite the structures on it being slightly wrong) but I don't think he'll be "shooting to wound" anyone with that thing.
I wonder what made DC finally relent and allow firearms again, or maybe they no longer care because McFarlane's line is ending?
Hey glad to be here. So of course no one knows more than the next person, but what do you guys think the odds are that we get a Thurman Poison Ivy re-release? I'd be fine with getting one of her different looks, the green bodysuit with cone hair buns would be my preference and was the version in all the publicity shots for the movie. I am bewildered why he went with silver suit Carrey Riddler re-release (and not her) when the regular figure is still a peg warmer. Is there any logic to it other than Todd and his preferences?
I'm so happy they're doing the Returns line, although it was a cheap move to release the single Keaton '89 right before announcing; I wouldn't have bought that if I knew Returns was coming, which I guess was the logic. I agree that the beating around the bush of whether we'll get Nicholson or not is not helping matters. Certainly hope he gets a single figure release if it happens and not as a pack-in to a $250 parade float exclusive or anything. I imagine if they got the likeness rights they'd milk that figure as much as they can, but time is running out with the license expiring next year. Hopefully it could still happen someday as part of DC Direct maybe, but in the back of my head I do still think it'll come next year as a surprise '89 line.
The going in reverse release order with the toylines for '89-'97 films was a mistake imo; more people would've bought the B&R figs to fill out the line if it was last, many people passed when they didn't know if Forever or the Burton films were coming, hence why Ivy is $$$ on the secondary market.
