It was a bit disappointing to not see new Multiverse at NYTF, but it wasn't entirely unexpected. Most of this stuff is planned out far in advance, so we're going to get the things that were planned in 2025 and that should just about do it. I think I'm mostly done with Multiverse now, I had a bunch of stuff in my BBTS pile of loot that I just canceled yesterday because I realized I just didn't really need it, things I had purchased because they were new and shiny. Of all the figures that have come out in the last 90 days or so, the only ones I kept were Zatanna, Ice, and Professor Pyg.
If we get Black Canary and any other long-wanted characters, I'll probably jump in on them, but as of right now I think I'm all good and actually looking to pare my collection down. I'll get the Superman Returns figure (going to need a custom head, though), and I doubt we'll see a Panther suit Kilmer but I'd jump on that if we got one.
I have very little interest in the Mattel stuff unless they bring out something that absolutely knocks our dicks in the dirt. I've had a blast with McFarlane and I have most of the things that I personally could want. I'm pretty fortunate that I don't need a lot of the unfinished teams that people have been waiting on, I like a lot of those characters but I don't really need them. If Mattel jumps back down to around 6 inches, I just won't need to go there. I think it's about time to wrap things up on my end and move on to other things I'm currently hyper-focused on. 3rd parties are absolutely killing it, creating some of the most impressive stuff I've ever seen, and Hot Toys is a big one for me too.
