Good concept but bad execution for that Joker-ized Bats figure. the body shape is bad, he looks like one of those bottom heavy female-ish bodies that some men have LOL ill pass on that one.

Her tiara reminds me of the belt on the old Toy Biz '89 Batman, one of my favorite toys. Too bad there isn't a grapple line stored in her forehead. ImageImage

I love this figure. My 2 year old got ahold of it recently and pulled the line out too hard so that now it won't retract. I had to by another one.
I went a little nuts a while back and bought most of the head variations off eBay. I still sort of regret not grabbing the Mattel "homage" figure they made at the end of their run, as terrible as it was. Here's hoping we get a Bob the Goon.

McFarlane Toystore has the platinum Swamp Thing up on their website, if anyone is still wanting one.

I got my Kalibak in the mail last night and man is he a beast. He is very large but very impressive. I love him, although I can't really fit him in my current display effectively because he dwarfs my DCUC Darkseid. First world collector problems I guess.

Come on, man. Whatever you think of Dr Langstrom’s post, a meme meant to shame him and put him down isn’t going to make anything better. Why be cruel?

Hopefully, Kalibak is a New Gods outlier. Same with Jay. Need more JSA toot sweet.

Off topic, shoutout to the fine folks at Mattel. Yesterday’s MotU Masterverse figures look fantastic. At least for something I’m utterly uninterested in. Guess you should’ve applied some of that imagination and evolution to the DC license and you might still have it. Ah well.

I'm over here just wondering which Mcfarlane Batman has a "female-ish" body. Everybody knows Sabbac is the reigning king of thicc.

Easy answer is the Drowned/"Batman" of Earth 11 :p

Knightfall Batman is rumored for May pre-order.

Which makes sense looking at the release dates we know. Flash is set for April. Titans wave has been shipping but it set for april. Same with the aquaman page punchers. McFarlanes store gets some of this stuff early but that’s still a good amount of figures in April. Plus impulse, flashpoint Superman. I mean that’s what, 16 figures in April? Wait, I forgot gold label dick Grayson Robin.

Busy month…again. This line has turned into marvel legends in volume.

Mr. Freeze and Catwoman are out for delivery. Titans should arrive by the end of the week.

I hope Knightfall Batman and the rest do go up for preorder soon. Because after that, there are no official reveals, only rumors. Time to announce some new stuff.

Complaining about stereotypes by tossing out...more...stereotypes...

Yup, sounds like an adult collector to me 🫠

Anyway, with the current popularity (and scarcity) of accessory packs made by NECA for their TMNT & BttF lines, as well as the success of Todd's own weapons packs, does anyone think we might see DC accessory packs down the line? I'm thinking accessories that aren't vital, but appreciated (much like how NECA does it).

I know DC Icons did some stuff at one point, I suppose this would be a spiritual successor to that. Lantern constructs, bat gadgets, trick umbrellas, perhaps tiny figures like Batmite. Face-sized Starro spores, bendy-wire golden lasso, cosmic treadmill?

Obviously the possibilities are fairly endless, and could be a space for Todd to make some cool stuff that he can't fit in with a figure due to price, space, or otherwise. Also a chance to make non-gun accessories (while still pumping out weapons packs, of course). The NECA TMNT collectors have been swooning over the accessory packs (the ones who could find them, anyway), and it got me to thinking about Todd doing the same. Fingers crossed for eventually, I suppose.

I'd guess it’s been discussed. I also wouldn’t be surprised if it happened.
