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.
Speaking of guns... 😎 This showed up on my doorstep yesterday out of the blue from Best Buy.
Some wretched souls robbed a tractor-trailer filled with McF Toys! Now they can't fulfill the Supergirl orders. Also might explain why they removed the latest digital wave.

This has all the criminal hallmarks of the Joker...or the Riddler...or Two-Face...it's gotta be one of the Gotham villains because this seems like small potatoes and wouldn't even be on Lex Luthor's radar at all.
Maybe Darkseid though. Hopefully when Kara has been recovered and is released from stasis she hasn't been programmed into an evil living weapon.
Too many tropes. Hope you still find one before they make it through the boom-tube with that truck.

Got Croc from the 2pk finally, happy overall with it. Could have used some other hands but whatever, he'll occupy the back spots with Manbat and Clayface in my Batman display. Just need a Riddler, Scarecrow, Catwoman and Poison Ivy next. Probably in for Gordon and Eradicator this coming week, and possibly Batman Year One as well.
Ending up with more McFarlane's in the final year than Marvel Legends on preorder.
modern stylings on the arms, feet and hands for an ultra classic low tech suit.
What are you talking about? Extra details in the form of folds and wrinkles are now modern stylings? K - well, one less person to worry about snatching these up.
@anthonywayne brother, please stop. I'm refering to the reuse of this figure's hands and feet, which should've ideally been plain gloves and boots for Y1 Batman. Plus the seamlines on his arms don't have much sense with the newly sculpted torso piece.

I see - apologies for misunderstanding what you were saying.
Got Deadshot from Gamestop today. Kinda laughing cos I wanted the not-chase and I got the chase. By way of good and bad chases, it's actually got a really nice color palette, so I'm not complaining, just find it funny that as the line's wrapping up and he's making a lot of characters I've wanted all along I still gotta chase the proper paint job. Though I'll probably not, the dark red and metal is nice enough I don't need to buy him twice.
Is there a chase look for Doctor Fate? I've got him and Two-Face preordered.
So with Walmart clearing out the McFarland stuff, are they going to be selling these latest figures or are the all sold online?
They're ALL moving over to the electronics section of the store. Not being stocked in the toy isles anymore.
@salemcrow Would you know if the Walmart inventory count updates if the product gets sold? My local Walmarts show On Hand inventory of 3 at one store, 5 at another & 4 another. All three don't actually have any in stock.

It generally takes a day for the count to update. It's possible there could be some in the backroom, not located, so it'll show as on the floor. It can be a flawed system, trust me. I deal with it on an almost daily basis with people looking for items.
Bizarro 4/15 Gamestop, other retailers later

Holy cow, they've resculpted the cuffs.
