There's a top 10 for McFarlane figures of 2024 but I thought a list for all companies would be good
Here's mine:
- Lego Batman: TAS Batmobile - love these mini-fig scale Batmobiles and so happy to see a B:TAS style version - hoping we get more B:TAS lego sets so we can get more of the minifigs (outside of the Gotham skyline set)
- Tie - Mafex Knight Crusader Batman, Bane & Eradicator - Mafex continues to crush it with their 6 inch scale figures with these classic characters
- Mondo 1/6 Harley Quinn Timed Edition - I was able to get the Timed Edition of Harley and she is probably the best animated style Harley figure ever made (especially since she includes Bud & Lou)
- Mondo 1/6 Man-Bat (SDCC version) - I was also able to get the SDCC version of Man-Bat and he is really impressive - just a huge beast of a figure!
- McFarlane Joker-Mobile - I was excited for this when DC Direct revealed it years ago and was saddened when it was cancelled but McFarlane were able to actually get this released which was amazing!
- Tie- Batman TAS Lock Up and Maxie Zeus BAFs - really glad to get more never-before-made characters in figure form in the B:TAS line (also loved the Lightning Strike Batman as I loved the original figure as a kid, heck he even included an updated version of the original laser gun!)
- Tie - Batman '66 Bookworm/Alfred/Nightwing and Batgirl cycle - its great to get more classic characters (Bookworm and Alfred) and the 70's style Nightwing from the Batman meets Wonder Woman comic was a cool addition to. The Batgirl Cycle is great to see - hopefully we will get the Bat-Copter next year to finish the classic vehicles
- Tie- McFarlane Batman (Detective Comics #27) & Red Hood - nice renditions of classic Batman characters
- NECA Batman 1989 Utility Belt - a really nicely designed prop replica with loads of gadgets - I just wish the design of the belt itself was a bit better
- McFarlane 1:3 scale Batman cowls - currently I have 3 - Batman '89, Batman '66 and Batman: TAS - these are fun little collectibles - can't wait for the Hush and Detective Comics #27 versions
What's everyone elses?
Good idea for a thread. Let's see, this is a tough one...I guess mine won't be in any specific order:
- Mafex Eradicator
- Mafex Bane
- Mafex Batman (Knightfall, or Knight Crusader, whatever it's called)
- McFarlane Batman Forever Batmobile (w/Alfred)
- Mezco One:12 Return of Superman (black suit)
- Mars Toys 1/6 Mr. W (Batman '89 Bruce Wayne)
- Mars Toys 1/6 Alfred (Batman '89)
- Soosootoys 1/6 Mr. Ice (B&R Freeze, in robe and slippers with easy chair)
- Modoking Tumbler & Batpod model set
- McFarlane Batman Forever wave (sculpts could be better, but I have too much nostalgia for the movie to ignore these)
Honorable Mentions - Figures I acquired in 2024, but I'm pretty sure were actually released in 2023:
- Beast Kingdom Batman (The Flash) Modern Suit (this has an incredible likeness to old Keaton)
- Beast Kingdom Batman Returns Batman (the only BR figure you can get in this scale currently)
- Mezco 5 Points Fleischer Superman (The Mechanical Monsters, one of my earliest memories of Superman)
- Modoking The Dark Knight Batman and Batsignal model set
The only two non-McF DC I acquired in 2024 was the Manipple Henry Cavill Superman body & the Muff Toys Protector of Metropolis Clark Kent. Both are excellent, easily in my Top 10 of 2024.

I also got the Muff Toys Clark! He looks great. I probably would have added him to my list, but I haven't had time to take him out of the package yet, except to just take a peek inside the box.
