Clearly, this is a very fluid situation. Much is this depends on what actually happens, not our utterly baseless speculation. Aceofknaves has a source that says don’t write Mattel off. Frankly, that’s good enough for now. Another unconfirmed source says Mattel’s opening salvo will be an Absolute...

I find it kinda difficult to believe that Mattel is just gonna pick up where they left off in 2019. Or even 2014. Doubtful they pick up where Todd leaves them. My impression is that Todd is going to go out guns blazing and bombs dropping leaving it all out on the field. Basically telling Mattel...

FWIW, I can practically promise you that whatever grudges you have against Todd, you will at some point develop different grudges against Mattel. Perhaps even some of the same ones. DC has had four toy master license changes since 2000. Plus DCD running parallel. Marvel has had one. With a far...

I’m very happy I didn’t have to participate today. Sounds awful. I usually buy from Todd if possible. I’ve got all my info stored at the site. I got the five I wanted from yesterday and the only thing that slowed me down was messing up my $20.00 coupon code which I mis-entered the first time...

Pro tip: If you’re buying from the McFarlane Toy Store, start checking about 10 of 12:00 and scroll down from the top a little bit. Sometimes the new stuff is not top of the page.

Duckmobile is 100 bucks. Making a difficult, expensive day even more so. Glad I’m not in for this live action stuff. Good luck fellas.

Image Comics may have been an option, but it would probably have to be an all in situation. There is a nominal “Image Universe” including all the founders material except for Jim Lee. It also includes some of Kirkman’s stuff too. Which would be the sticking point. Invincible, and I assume all...

Little analysis of the reveals: Atom Smasher: #1 on my personal wish list. He’s obviously a repaint of the Black Adam movie figure, but I don’t care. Been a fan since he was Nuklon back in Infinity Inc. in the 80’s. Roy Thomas is the man. Spectre: Great upgrade with the fabric cape. Gives me...

I know what you mean. No interest in crowdfunded Harley. No interest in Purple Batgirl and definitely on the fence about Joker. Atom Smasher is an absolute must have. Superman, Blackfire, Spectre, and Red Tornado are all upgrades. Which I’m OK with. NYCC sounds like a banger this year...

Decent reveals. Zero Hour Superman Crisis Joker Red Tornado Blackfire Batgirl in purple Atom Smasher/Spectre 2-pack *With some Platinums.

Got the five I wanted at MTS. Still world building since we’re on the clock with the license. Failsafe Riddler Scarecrow Black Mask New 52 E-2 Batman Plus Dr. Mid-Nite yesterday. A JSA member. Four villains and a Multiverse Batman. Not bad. Don’t need another black/gray Batman and...

Today. Noon eastern time.

Dr. Mid-Nite has completely sold out at MTS. Cases, bundles, and singles. Not bad for a Golden Age second stringer. Todd, more JSA please.

It’s Pieter on the card, not Charles.

Concur on Mid-Nite. He’s pretty good. Hourman was disappointing. No redo in sight. In my opinion, Wildcat is fine. In fact I like him quite a bit. The Mid-Nite Platinum does piss me off. Minimal effort on Pieter Cross. Still gonna need one although I don’t see buying him above retail. Gonna...

I keep a note on my phone of upcoming preorder dates. Dr. Mid-Nite goes up tomorrow at noon eastern time. Mr. Miracle and Zatanna have no official release date as yet, although MM is supposed to go up in October. I was impatient and ordered him and Sandman from Canada. Steve Trevor is out...

I don’t like superhero movies. Never have. I turned the corner (a bit) with the first Spider-Man movie. It wasn’t until Wonder Woman 1 that I actually enjoyed one. Followed by Aquaman 1 and Shazam 1. Both Suicide Squad movies were marginal (to me). I’m a comic guy. Special effects didn’t catch...

There’s been a longstanding rumor about a Nicholson Joker coming from Todd eventually. That was prior to him losing the license. Makes little difference to me personally, but I’d still like to see it happen for the fans who want it. What’s puzzled me about it is why haven’t one of the higher end...

And not for nothing, I believe Jack Knight is going to be an expensive pain in the @$$ if I miss the Canadian preorder. Or if the Canadian stores are still unable to accept American preorders.

I certainly hope so. But my impression is that DT is a little bigger with more articulation plus an extra head. And in the immortal words of “Toy Guru”, “may not cost out”. A $60.00 Elite figure would’ve covered his cost. A $35.00 Collector Edition figure may not. It’ll be an enormous...

FWIW, the balance of the current reveals is: Jack Knight/Starman Zatanna/Detective Chimp Static Shock Jack is a retail only Red Platinum. Canadian stores are looking good for him. Preorder dates for the others are unknown. Static is supposed to be a MTS Gold Label exclusive. Zatanna is now...

I also expect the wheels to come off over the next several months in terms of budget. But in all likelihood, my days of collecting figures will be over when Todd is done. Trouble is, I don’t wanna be done. But McFarlane/DC in the 7” scale is all I buy. Even then, I’m not remotely a completist...

Let me just say by way of observation that this is the highest concentration of Bat related figures I can recall going up for preorder in the space of 72 hours. Thirteenth figures total, a dozen of which are Bat connected. Kinda overkill ain’t it? By the same token, reviewing the rest of the...

Gonna be an expensive week for you Bay guys. While I’m not buying the movie stuff, gotta say Batman and Catwoman are both pretty magnificent. What I will be buying is: Dr. Mid-Nite. Must have, non-negotiable. If the Platinum is what I suspect/hope, that’s also a must have. Black Mask and...

McFarlane marketing strikes again. First theatrical figure (Penguin) dropped at midnight. Preorder date of 9/19/25.
