McFarlane DC Multiverse

I guess they might be real, but the infantile gag descriptions really make it sound sus.

Hope it’s legit and the poster is just kind of a baby.

You talking about the Hush 2 (Boyz 2 Men) camo variant. Yeah I was like “What the hell is this???” Then I remember this book is written by Jeph Loeb and that guy is nuttier than Frank Miller these days

Yeah, he could be appealing to Memes and Brain rot, but I see why Ace is cautious. It's such a good list.

I don't want the heartbreak.

Still curious about the Ledger Joker (no mention of Bane this time, either). Wonder if it's a new look, or a redo of the original figure, maybe with swappable face plates this time. Not that the original was terrible, but it's certainly not the most "Joker-ish" of expressions.

I wouldn't mind a better Heath Ledger Joker, the face on the one that comes with the stack of money doesn't look that spot on. Though faceplates would be good IF they work, I still can't get the faces swapped on my 2pk MK Raiden, it's like they painted the peg and THEN shoved it in there. Hopefully that's not the norm. I would think a soft goods jacketed Joker, or just a pure vest Joker would be desired by most. I don't know that I need the nurse's uniform one, given how brief he wore it in the movie. Don't get me wrong it's a good scene, but I'm not gonna display him as such. I'd much rather have a Batman and Robin movie Bane, or Neeson Ra's Al Ghul.
 
I got Scarecrow in today from GameStop. I love this figure. It's exactly what I want him to look like. I also looked at a few Wal-Marts today hoping to see either Purple Batgirl or GitD Bane. But no luck. I saw a lot of cool figures though like the Batman Returns Penguin, Max Shreck, and Guardian. Also, the classic Batgirl and the Dark Flash.

He's not excessively buff? That was a concern of mine that he doesn't look spindly enough, but am just happy to have a decent Scarecrow before the line ends.
 
He might be too buff for some peoples taste for sure. But I personally really like how he looks here in this figure. But he definitely isn't super skinny or spindly as you said. But he just looks so cool.
 
Bit of quick analysis for today’s reveals:

If you dig live action Batman or Superman, you’re made. 👍

For myself:

Black Canary: Long time coming. Can’t wait.

SA Supergirl: Very much needed. Now I want a proper SA Kal/Clark Superboy.

Hush 2 Batman: Don’t need another Hush Batman, but I’ll take him with a fabric cape. And maybe a quarter of an inch shorter.

Damian/Batman: Wanted this for a while. Can’t wait.

Power of Shazam: Really wanted this one for a long time too.

Superman/Mongul: I’d normally write this off, but speculation has this as Superman in the Resurrection suit. Ridiculous, but I’ll bite if true.

Classic Grayson Robin: Took a while, but we got there.

Martian Manhunter: Bigger buck with a fabric cape please.

Freddie Freeman/Captain Marvel Jr.: Love this.

Vigilante I: I teared up a little when I heard one.

Scarecrow is my Vader or Stormtrooper, in that I know all the little variations between designs to an absurd degree. Given the sheer amount of Scarecrow stuff I have, I can say with confidence he's not always skinny and spindly. Most of the time, granted, and one could argue some artists have leaned a bit too heavily into the gangliness, but I like it if done right, like the Kelley Jones Scarecrow, who's often contorting himself into all sorts of weird poses. Or sometimes it's a mix, where he'll have skinny arms and legs, but a broad chest. Heck, his Silver Age appearance was more or less just a dude. One of the things I really love about the character is that everyone's interpretation of him is so different. Even within the same design, sometimes when drawn by different artists, they'll highlight a different part of him. Like fear itself, he's always changing and evolving.

That said, this is definitely Todd's Scarecrow. There's really no one true design this one is based off, not even the one on the box/card, which is clearly the Hush Era Scarecrow. The figure seems to perhaps take some inspiration from that, but there's too much that's different for it to be considered his stab at a Hush Scarecrow. It's a mish-mash of a lot of different designs, really. I certainly prefer mine a bit lankier, but I don't dislike this one at all- it looks like if a normal dude was Scarecrow, even if that's not the most exciting thing.
 
Best I can surmise is that it's Todd's spin on a Batman #373 cover.

I agree on the Legends of the Dark Knight figures, though. If I didn't know any better, I'd have sworn that Todd had something to do with them back in the day. They're definitely right up his alley.
 
I don't know what they are going for besides "cheap and easy" going back to the well for characters like Nolan Joker, Nolan Bane, Cavill Superman, Superman 78, and Azrael Batman but the worst that can happen is I pass or we get some sort of upgrade.

Assuming all of this is legit, there's some really exciting stuff here:
89 Joker--My desire for this figure is well documented, I'm not even going to pull the "now we need Bob", "Now we need Bane", "Now we need Chase" comments. If this figure happens, I'm content.

Black Canary is a huge hole filled.

Classic Dick Robin is another huge hole. I need a classic Dick old enough to hang with classic Batgirl.

Routh Superman is something I didn't think was happening and I'm glad all the theatrical Supermen will be represented by Todd.

I never got too far into the CW DC but I may be interested in CW Supergirl.

The extra year and the rate at which Todd cranks this stuff out is like this line has a new lease on life. A LOT can happen in a year's time. I would LOVE a Super Sons two pack but I'd settle for a kid Jon Kent given that we already have a really good Damien.

No lie, I JUST pulled this issue out of my long box a half hour ago! This cover is SICK! When my Scarecrow arrives I'm posing him in front of this.
