McFarlane DC Multiverse

My Harley & Joker order updated last night too, label created. Excited to start seeing people's in-hand pics and reviews. Guess I'll get started trying to paint a golden gun for Joker.

Nope - because the Vault re-releases are coming out at the end of the license. That may be the cause of the lull, but that extension would have had to have been known for such a long time that I don't think it would cause this extremely weird lull.

Sure, but the Vaults require no extra tooling. Much easier to drop into a production schedule wherever they need. By projecting something forward over the next six months they’re guaranteeing consumer interest, a retail framework and shelf space to the end of the year, while they get their ducks in a row for what is apparently 70+ more figures (if leaks are to be believed) about to suddenly crash into the market.

Just weird to have several weeks with nothing officially on the horizon, unlike previous times when there’s been livestream or convention reveals already so we know that something is coming at some point. And there’s a definite endstop this time. Tick-tock, Todd!

As has happened in the past, this could all change in an instant, of course 😂. I just want my wallet to be prepared.

Been thinking the same thing for a while now. The last actual new figures were rolled out in April. The repaint Batman wave was May. Plus the Vault waves. Tomorrow’s preorder is a Gunslinger Spawn statue. After that, there are no McFarlane preorder dates in the EE Drop Zone. The next Collectors Edition wave is obviously coming, but in two out of three cases, we’ve seen the Platinums first. No official announcement, no preorder date, no glamour shots.

At this point it looks like there may be no sell down period. Black Friday is on the 27th of November this year giving Todd 35 days to move his DC inventory at retail.

With the sheer volume of rumors and the unsettling lack of information I can’t say that I know what to expect in the next six months.
 
It also occurs to me that we don’t know what the McFarlane SDCC exclusive is yet either. Or whether it’s tied to a third party like last year’s Beast Boy.
 
I hope those rumors are true about the Hush Wave. it was like Ivy, Catwoman, Alfred, Mad Hatter, Harley Quinn, and Barbra Gordon.
Supposedly the Catwoman is Gold label. I'd assume it is true. So much of the other leaked figures have come true, so I would say the Hush wave is as well.

And I will buy all of them.
 
I hope we get the Hush wave (I missed Knightfall Catwoman and the Original Harley was far too animated style for me) but I'm perfectly happy with this Ivy.

Glad Todd is at least finishing off the major Bat villains.

Hopefully the Brainiac rumor is true as well then it would just be Parasite missing for Superman.
