Yeah, I’m jonesing for that Titans wave too. My Wally needs some company!

So of everything that we were shown at NYCC, are the Super Powers Batmobile/Invisible Jet the only things yet to be officially revealed? We’ve seen photos of everything else in the ‘Spring 23’ assortment, right? Maybe a mini Page Punchers Wave 4? My memory is fuzzy on the subject.

Anyway, I received a wonderful bonus from McFarlane Toys today. Last week, I decided to order directly from the site despite the shipping costs because the Wallace West Kid Flash advertisement just kept popping up on my social media feeds over and over and after a certain point, I just couldn’t control myself.

Yes, advertising works.

Anyway, when I opened the box today, (very fast shipping) I found a second figure and a nice note explaining that sometimes they’ll add a ‘slightly damaged’ figure to an order just to make sure it goes to a good home. An Arkham Knight Red Hood will be joining my McFarlane display thanks to their generosity. This made quite a positive impression on me, since this was my first order with them, and it makes me want to continue to support the company. Thanks Todd!

Late to the party but got the Flash PP wave (sans Flash). Super quick thoughts. I really like the proportions on Captain Cold, even if he feels a bit too thin and small. The design has some nice Injustice 2 mixed with Lost Planet 2 vibes. Like the big feet, unusual for McFarlane. Might give him a different gun.

Heat Wave is a pretty neat Mega Man villain, that's about it. He'll go to my shelf of random robot dudes.

Grodd is perfect, even in that silly unpainted orange gear. Super glad I have him, but now I'll have to sell the older Injustice one.

Picked up Eradicator, SuperBoy and Gladiator Bats yesterday, all great pieces and catches me up pretty perfectly now. Only missing Frankenstein and perhaps Sabbac but waiting on the prices to drop on them before going for the purchase.

From here only really looking for Kalibak, PP Manta and Y2 Arkham Bats from what's been shown. Thinking real hard on the Greyson though, would look nice with Y2 Bats on that grave base.

But my appetite is going crazy for Capy Atom, he's been a day one need so I'm glad to see he's coming soon! The Titans wave should be good too, though not interested in too many of the single figs and just want that Trigon.
And then another Batman centric PP wave is fine, most likely the correctly painted Drake Robin and hopefully a wildly stylized Freeze too.

Still need a definitive Bats though, holding out for the wave from the Spawn crossover which I definitely thought we'd have seen by now.

Still haven’t decided. I kinda want Kid Robin. I just don’t wanna buy him alone. And I’ve scoured the other preorders on the site and there’s nothing there. This figure is likely to sell out quickly. And based on Hush Superman, it won’t come back into stock quickly either.
So what time does the preorder go up usually?? Never really felt the need to pounce on a figure so much as this Robin..
He's an instant buy for me..
So time ????
Help ?????

Got in a pre-order for two of them. That shipping is a killer, but since it's a Todd Store exclusive there's really no choice.

On the up side, he comes with more accessories than normal. Maybe that's going to be a new thing with the higher price point.

Got Robin. Really cool looking figure. So many hands though. He's like George Costanza from Seinfeld. He's got hand!

Not sure if everyone has noticed but gold label store exclusives seem to eventually end up on Todd’s store. So maybe there’s hope for people who weren’t able to find az-bat etc.

Yeah that markup combined with high shipping really negates the MTS10…but so be it, Dick Grayson will soon be here!
