Thanks

Got The Signal, Jay Garrick and KC Batman from Amazon today, and they are among the best MCF DC figures ever. Paint and sculpts are top-notch, and they can cut some seriously cool poses. Batman is especially beautiful, lookin like Alex Ross' art come to life.

I never got the previous Kingdom Come figures, cuz they're basically plastic statues, so this is my first KC action figure ever, and it does not disappoint. Just absolutely glorious. I got the Kingdom Come TPB way back in the 90s for my 16th birthday, and ever since it has been my favorite DC anything, so finally having a figure to represent it in my collection is just bliss.

Here's hoping we get Superman, Wonder Woman, Spectre and Captain Marvel sooner rather than later. Honestly, I'll buy the whole damn cast if Todd makes them, from Nightfire to 666, I'll take them all!

i'm in for all the batman stuff, the vehicles i can wait when they go on sale, i got both batcycles from the batman for $11 each last year and of course the batmobeast for $25. i know the batmobile will be a hot seller but i'll hold till it hits like $40 or event $30 if possible. the batwing i'm going to wait if todd does a holiday sale to bring it down a bit, i would have liked it to have been $150 but $250 is high. if it was more to scale and fit three figures like in the trailer then $250 is perfect but i know that would have been a monster in size.
the rest of the figures like supergirl and flashes i'll also wait for sale and get them.

overall todd is a god with these vehicles and make me hopful for future large scale vehicles.

I expect no sales on the batmobile

If it's selling as poorly as on the website where I preordered mine yesterday....then yeah, it's probably going on sale...in Europe...but things rarely go on sale in Europe so I don't know.

Obviously a huge want for me. Especially after this week's World's Finest issue. Todd's people could do some really cool stuff with the character...

Obviously. Lol. A Mcfarlane version would be incredible I think. Always loved Metamorpho. I use to have an album as a kid in the 70's that had a Metamorpho story on it. I can still hear the chorus of the theme song for it "Metamorpho, MET-A-MOR-PHO!" Lol. Man I miss being a kid.

I have that record in both the small and large size. I wish I could find the die cut Metamorpho sleeve version, but that one is super hard to find. That theme song is catchy as hell. It's on YouTube if you want it stuck in your head again!

HA! Nice to have someone with the same great taste! I have listened to all the Marvel ones again on Youtube. I guess it's time to hit up the DC ones on there. Thanks for the heads up!!

Platinum Edition Mr. Freeze is scheduled for delivery today; 3 days ahead of schedule!

Interestingly, I ordered another Freeze the day before this one for my brother, selected the USPS option but that one instead shipped FedEx and is scheduled for delivery on Saturday.

Say what you will about the post office but I love them! Hearing those clunky little white trucks pulling up to deliver packages is way more fun than the UPS, FedEx, or Amazon trucks. Also, the post office always delivers early compared to the other 3 which always seem to experience delays.

Anybody had luck finding a Beast Boy at Walmart? Todd just posted the “link” earlier but clicking on it just sent me to a general search for DC Multiverse McFarlane. Which seems to suggest it’s down atm

Little Robin must be close to shipping.

So McFarlane is selling this Batwing at $249.99, and they have to sell a lot of them to make up for their costs in inventory and design. It is also a gold label exclusive at their own store, probably because no other retailer would take it at that price point. It also can't be released later (only a guess) since it is already a gold label, unless some major change is made in the design. Maybe a blue platinum version? I think at some point since it hasn't sold out yet, they will have to drop the price to something more realistic in a "sale." The costs to make this can't be more than $75, and they must have contracted for so many units. Walmart had a sale on the second Batmobeast at $25, so they must be using about 175% markup or more. I think in a "sale" they drop this to $125, and still make money.

If the price drop is significant, I might be a little bit more eager to buy. I just don't have the space and something like that is a little bit more difficult to photograph in ACBA than a batmobile.

I’m sure the cost per unit for the Batwing was low enough for Todd to take it on himself, with minimal risk. Allowing for deep discounts down the road. Possibly even ending up in Big Lots or Ollie’s.

Beast Boy™ (Gold Label) is arriving in-stores NOW exclusively at Walmart!

Translation: Beast Boy™ (Gold Label) is arriving in some Walmarts, but most will not see any. And of the few that arrive is distant stores, the employees will get them for themselves to scalp on Ebay. Enjoy the hunt!

[Nik]

I just hope that Beast Boy eventually gets offered on the McFarlane site, like some of the gold label stuff has, although, that's what I had hoped for Azbats, and that hasn't happened yet. My local Wal-Marts are total wastelands.

I was looking at the Flash the movie batcycle and something seemed missing. After looking at the Pattinson batcycle I realized the Flash one is missing bat horns in front, or something to make it look like more like a batcycle instead of just a black futuristic bike. It's movie accurate, so I guess this is more a comment on the movie's rendition of the affleck batcycle.

That Robin is pretty ugly in the face. Yikes.

Hard pass on a 250$ Batwing. I don't especially like the new shape of the design. Would have been better to dust off the Burton design.
