McFarlane DC Multiverse

I finally received the full Batman Day wave today from McF Toy Store. I'll rank below with my thoughts from best to worst.

GREAT:

Failsafe Mega-fig. Easily my fave of the group. Just another well done large figure from McF and very unique all around. This is one of my favorite McF figures.

OK to Good:

Black Mask as Batman. Very creepy head sculpt. Solid colors. Decent figure, but like Hugo and Inque (and even Two-Face at one point), Black Madk deserves a dedicated figure rather than an excuse to make another Batman figure.

Earth-2 Society Dick as Batman: I like this figure more than expected. As a Hawkeye. I'm always a sucker for Black and Gold an dc this figure pops.

Scarecrow: The best Scarecrow figure that I can remember in quite some time. I feel like I can move on from the other 3 McF Scarecrows I hace at this point.

Not Great / Somewhat Regretful Purchases

Hush Riddler: Love the story. Costume is too plain but I do love the green suit. A figure that I didn't need and shouldn't have bought.

Classic Batgirl: Meh. It's ok. Don't really like the effect on the side of the mask. Actually might still prefer the 3 Jokers version. Will still be looking for purple version.

Batman Inc Batman: Wouldn't have bought if not for bundle pricing and discount coupon. I actually like it more than I expected to. Glow around emblem is more subtle than it looked in promo pics, which is good. I have way too many McF Batmen. Almost might need to do a hall of costumes Ike I do with Iron Man Armors.

I probably would have been better off with just buying Failsafe and waiting to see if any of the others ever got discounted later.

I officially have nothing else from DC pre-ordered for the first time in as long as I can remember. Wasn't able to pre-order Blackfire or Cheetah so I'm hoping to find them in the wild. Possibly purple Batgirl as well.

1966 BATMOBILE arrived on Tuesday. After spending some time with it, as well as the others in the line, it really is one of the weaker offerings. It’s an enlarged version of the one already released, and a seriously missed opportunity. Mattel’s from 13 years ago is still champ.
I held off on this purchase. I could be convinced if it was absolute perfection but McFarlane's 66 Batmobile for the 6 inch line looked laughable with the figures in it and I did not want to get the Multiverse one if it wasn't great. I just don't like 66 Batman that much.

I do have the Mattel version and you're right, it still has to be topped. They didn't even do anything that incredible. There are no lights or sounds or any kind of bells and whistles. They just made it accurate. That's all I need.
 
I agree- sort of. The early reviews made it look really bad. Having it in hand - not so bad. Sure opening doors would be amazing and some chrome in place of the plastic grey silver. I guess my love for this version reigns and I am just happy to add it to the collection. Not the greatest but I can live with it.
 
Disgusting day for me. EB had Bat, Cat, and Max ready for pick up, as well as Rebirth and some other non DC things.

All look like bangers, but I gotta go be social at a thing for a few hours. I intend to disassociate with this fantasy unboxing over a Negroni.
