Now that i see the full figure of Carrot. he looks alittle too muscular/bulky for my taste. the variant of carrot looks better though.
Fun fact: Captain carrot is Bugs bunny brother.
Looks like Captain Carrot is selling out quick at regular retailers. I pre-ordered off McToy Store.
Platinum Captain Carrot is a much better figure than the regular one. Paying $30 is bad enough but having to hunt for these variants, every time I see one I want I just roll my eyes and it makes me sour a bit on buying them.Â
@pg-superfan What's with that question? Have I ever, in the entirity of the last 3 (or whoever many) years Todd's had the license said "fuck, I love the crappy painted over details, lemme buy all of them figgurs"? I'm actually praising the Lantern/Tornado reuse because they've finally made it work, imo. In general I'm quite a big opponent of reuse and especially bucks like in ML.
Â
As for the 3 new figures - rabbit looks pretty cool, love the details and everything but it's not something I want or need. Superman has nice bright colors, like the long hair and Krypto is ok for me with the raised leg and looking up - he's either staring at Clark or getting ready to fly, and that's cool. Batman is fine, whatever.
dang, Platinum Captain Carrot has some 'tude. Not really a big fan of this whole chase system. Still have bad memories of getting ordering and receiving multiple grey DKR Robins in a row to the point where I didn't even want it anymore.
That Superman reminds me of the art of Jon Bogdanove
Â
Dangit - the platinum edition of Captain Carrot is so much better than the regular version. What the heck.  That's just mean.  I won't be holding my breath for it I guess.
Yeah Bogdanove was what came to mind when I saw that disaster of a "Collector Edition" figure. I fear Page Punchers is done too. That Superman series I wanted got moved to Gold Label at $30. From the sound of it, that line was more comic accurate anyhow but who knows. Page Punchers was the saving grace for me, but if they all look good I would excited. Just no reason to trust Todd anymore.
Â
Tornado is on the Alan Scott body?? He and Diana look really good I think. Hope the next batch of Batman(s) are inspired and Kilowog better be cool.
Red Tornado and (especially) Wonder Woman are my two biggest McF wants now.
I like the Animal Man figure. He started out without a jacket, so it doesn't bother me he doesn't have a jacket. Red Tornado is ok. I'm not crazy about the belt buckle or the discs holding the cape instead of his collar but I could live with it. These figures are usually easy to find at Target, however lately I have been having an easier time finding the Walmart Gold Label figures as well. I do like the Wonder Woman figure, I just wonder what the Platinum Edition will look like. I don't know about the gold paint on Red Tornado or Wonder Woman, that usually darkens or turns green over time. Â
I can do without Green Lantern Batman, Incredible Hulk Superman or Captain Carrot. I never got the DC Direct Green Lantern Batman, so I don't need this one either. So far there is Dawnbreaker, GL Batman, Sinestro Corps Batman & Batrocitus. I like both version of the Captain Carrot figures but I never read the comic book. I could see the Justice Incarnate version with my collection, but I don't have to have it for $30. Maybe if it is on sale, if it doesn't sell out. It does seem like something a lot of collectors would buy. I wonder if McFarlane will Jokerize Captain Carrot.Â
We still haven't seen the Owlman, Superman or Nightwing figures that were shown with Animal Man & Red Tornado. I wonder if any of those will be Collector's Editions with Wonder Woman instead of New 52 Batman & Rebirth Aquaman that were shown at SDCC. Unless they are still part of the NFT wave.Â
Also, where are Steel & Cyborg Superman?
Decided not to get the static Krypto dog. instead just bought the Fisher-price version, 5poa (and the Bathound)
Really hope the rumored BvS Batman looks awesome... and is real.Â
Red Tornado looks pretty good. Now hopefully they fill out some more of the JLA.
Â
That means will still need a classic Green Arrow, Atom, Black Canary, Hawkgirl & Zatanna. They can use the Plastic Man buck to make Elongated Man.Â
