I wouldn't count on it being a wave. Surely most of those are Gold Labels if real. I don't recall seeing renders for McDC before. Usually it's a leaked list then prototypes. Feels odd.
Excited for Animal Man and Red Tornado!
Today was a good day for me for McFarlane stuff. I got a shipment from the MTS that included the Aquaman movie figures, Injustice 2 Brainiac and the Batman '66 Lord Death Man and Robot Batman. I also received the Batman/Batpod from Gamestop and then BTAS Batcycle and Condiment King wave from Target. That's a lot for one day!
Is Red Tornado a new body? Nightwing looks better than Blue Beetle to me, but I can't tell. Owlman looks like it could also be the New52 Batman.
The renders look nice enough, but lately the actual pieces have been underwhelming.

Felt weird to me too. I 100% thought they were subpar fan photoshops.
Honestly, that Animal Man's logo is going to break like crazy when articulated. There's a character who needs an overlay or an unbroken torso and I wish they had at least given him his blue jacket from another figure to help conceal it.

These are all on the latest leaked list, and all but 3 are Gold Label. Unfortunately, this line is becoming almost all exclusives.

Owl is from the New 52, but are saying that he could be reused for a New 52 Batman?
Well, I now have enough spare Supermen to swap the hands and trunks. Seeing as this is probably my 7th or 8th time buying just a regular Superman.
Soeaking of swapping, I found this Supergirl custom on Instagram:
Only paint used is the gold trim and blue paint for the skirt.
So much better than what we got.
I did NOT need the Batman & Robin orders hitting this month. I got Sinestro finally from Target and it's his "transformation" Platinum edition version. I guess it's cool for diehard GL fans, but we're talking something that probably encompasses a second or two of film/time for him to be in that state of transformation. Do platinum editions even sell for any more online, it seems like everyone's trying to get rid of these "chase" figures on various sales websites?
@jtmarsh You should be able to get $70 with shipping.
McFarlane chases generally turn a profit (unlike regular McFarlane figures) as long as they aren't the grayscale ones.
I like when they take out the 2nd tier heroes like Animal Man
Sidenote: who would win in a fight with Aqua man VS. Animal man, they both got animal powers.
Has anyone found a nice matching blue duffle bag for the Bank Robber Joker? That McFarlane left that one out on top of the gun ban is somewhat frustrating.
It's nice they're doing a deeper dive with some of the B and C tier Justice League characters. But it'd be nice to actually get Hawkgirl, Zatanna, Vixen, Black Canary, Big Barda, Jessica Cruz... hell, any women on the team who aren't Wonder Woman or Supergirl.
Found Sinestro at Target, but I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. I'm sure I'll come to regret that, but I just wouldn't display the extra accessories, so it's not really worth it at the price.
Can't believe I'm actually excited for a Batman & Robin wave, but here I am. I love the promo they did for it- really captured the silliness of the movie (intended or not).

New52 Batman was in the last set of leaks. So I wonder if that's the body we will see. I think he and Tornado look really cool.
