McFarlane DC Multiverse

Zatanna and Jessica finally hit EB.

Got my normal Z and platinum and that sets the tone for a great day. Always neat how these things look better in hand to me, for all the flaws. Suppose I prefer being undersold to oversold.

Zatanna is easily my favorite McFarlane DC Multiverse figure. Yes, there is a definitely a character bias, but the figure is pleasantly free of the usual McFarlane eccentricities and/or blatant corner cutting. It’s just a very nicely done Zatanna figure. I ended up swapping the heads on the standard and platinum versions. I think it’s a better match for the overall look of both figures.

I like Jessica Cruz as well. For some reason, it’s one of the few times the Knightfall Catwoman reuse doesn’t bother me much.

Another avenue to acquire (not) Nicholson Joker:

THE JOKER (Batman) McFarlane Collector Edition #57 DC Multiverse Actio

The Joker possesses what must arguably be the most dangerous criminal mind on the planet. With no moral compass to speak of and a sick sense of humor that derives joy from witnessing the pain of others, the notorious Clown Prince of Crime is the smiling foil to Batman’s grim and serious...

Looks like a long wait, but still better than ebay.

Yeah, Zatanna is so few and far between. I'm really happy with these. I'll try that swap.

Jessica is my favourite Lantern, probably favourite non Batman/WW character because of her own weaknesses and journey. Big upgrade over the Mattel.
 
I was thinking about doing some kind of leg swap with Zatanna and Canary but I realized the fishnets only go down to her boots so that wouldn't work. :(

He's still available to pre-order on GameStop. Free shipping if you happen to pre-order two.

 
Didn't want to spend the money on the new theatrical Bane, since there's really no difference beyond (slightly) touched up paint, so I took a couple metallic Sharpies to the old BAF just to touch him up a bit. I'm already a lot happier with him, just from adding some silver to the mask and bronze to the metal details on the vest. Might try touching up some other parts like I've seen others do to make him a bit more screen-accurate, but it's amazing what just a little bit of effort can do. As is often the case, the sculpt is there, it's just the paint that brings it down.

There's Chinese dealers on Ebay already selling supposedly "legit" non-Nicholson Joker's from this line.

Does anyone know where Hellboy will be available or limited to being sold?
 
Opened the “platinum” case from EE.
Brief thoughts:
This wave is delightful.
Captain Marvel Jr and Osiris are both very nice. The head still looks like Paul Dano as Charlie Kirk.
Vigilante RULES. The kerchief is elastic and fits AND STAYS over his nose/face. Not sure which colorway I prefer, they are both really nice on the eyes. And he looks less John Wayne and more (though not exactly) Jimmy Stewart in person, which is much better and more appropriate. He just . . . rules. Awesome toy.
Supergirl is also great! Man, this wave slaps. I put the serious head on, and while that hairstyle just isn’t right for the platinum costume, she still looks ready to stare down the Anti-Monitor.
I didn’t think I would love the variant Lobo, but I do! His colors feel like the wild, vibrant inking of Bisley art. The new weapons slap. The dolphin is hilarious. He’s campy and SO MUCH FUN.

It’s crazy because Joker and Canary are far and away my most-wanted from that drop, and I was initially on the fence with some of the platinums, but I am just having a blast with these guys.

I remember when YouTuber Jayger101 first shared this several months ago he said that he believed that it was going to be in the DC Multiverse line as a representative of the Injustice video game. I hope that's actually true because I'd much rather pay $35 for this than $60 under the Elite series.
 
Me too. Obviously, that’s not Injustice Hellboy. And that’s a very good thing to me.

I’m more than willing to see what Todd does once DC is off the board. Hellboy looks great. The Image Founders figures look good so far. Although I would like to see him do Dane or Mother One in honor of Whilce Portacio’s Wetworks. Geiger sounds interesting leaving open the possibility of more Ghost Machine figures.
 
Seemingly an unpopular opinion, but I actually liked a lot of the designs from Injustice 1 & 2. They're definitely a product of what they are- designs for a fighting game, which means a lot more armor than we'd normally see on some of these characters, but I dug it. It's a shame that none of the lines we had for it- DCC, Hiya, Mattel, McFarlane- really did all that much with it, and they're all in different scales, so there's no real mixing you can do.

That said, of course I'm glad our first (and only) Hellboy is the classic comic version. Mignola's art isn't always the easiest to translate, but I think Todd did a good job. And if we can get him for the Multiverse price, while the line is still going? All the better.
 
Agreed. I will be looking to pick up Hellboy, not interested in any other Image characters but Hellboy always stood out. I justify the addition as he has teamed up with Batman in the past (y)
