McFarlane DC Multiverse

"It's not what I WANT, therefore it sucks!"

Seems to be the internet these days without any CONCRETE INFO on exactly WHAT is going to be offered WHEN.

People will give themselves ulcers by the time Mattel puts out whatever they actually do.

Well now that I’ve had 7 inches I can’t go back to 6.5! Pause


Seriously I’m not interested in restarting so outside of Teen Titans and Young Justice figures who actually look like teens depicted in the comics I’m probably not waiting for Mattel’s 2027 plans.

I’m really hoping McFarlane stays to keep releasing the Absolute line and movie figures.

I just don’t see Mattel focusing on certain live action figures like Lanterns vs doing classic comic figures

Counterpoint: “basic” means “kids”. And we all benefit from new generations of kids getting excited about these characters. I, for one, want there to still be a Batman long after I am personally stardust and irrelevant.

Yeah, I’ll die on this hill with you. Comics in general need to do a better job of attracting new fans. The large Barnes and Nobles near my house has four shelves of American graphic novels and about ten shelves of Manga.

It also seems as though Todd has attempted to poison the well and salt the earth. He’s flooded the zone with Batman product, and removed himself from the toy aisle in Wal Mart. And by putting out some of this crazy character selection, he’s raised the profile of these types of characters to the buying public. I’m getting Captain Carrot and Guardian from Todd. I don’t really want another Green Lantern or Superman now.

Did Todd remove himself from the Walmart toy aisle, or was he ejected and his last ditch save was Electronics?

Honestly, that sentence right there is why Todd lost the license. He lost the toy aisle!
