McFarlane DC Multiverse

...and more than close enough for McFarlane. The ease of this one has me not ruling it out at all. EDIT: Now that I think about it, the sonar suit and the panther suit have completely different cowls and I fear there is little chance he wouldn't just slap a sonar head on a Cloony body. Sigh. You see where my expectations are judging by my posts today?

I let go of my excellent Mattel Shipp Flash and my pretty good Carter WW and kind of regret it. If Todd can do these two justice, that would be nice.

lol yeah, fair point...if they slapped the sonar cowl on the Clooney body, that would suck.
 
I was going to grab the normal set of 6 from MTS with the big discount but right as I was about to finish the order I noticed the price was half - they changed it from a full-set to a 3-set. That is completely ridiculous and I stopped bothering.

Also, I won't miss this mad scramble for toys. Yes, Hasbro does it too, but not for regular releases.

@joshsquash729 Harley's shoes are actually accurate to have a "hole" in them. I've never seen Suicide Squad since I want nothing to do with Leto's Joker (he's going on Ebay as soon as he arrives) but someone was complaining onlinel and I looked into it and the flesh does appear correct. The look of it feels like SUCH an uncomfortable shoe - like Kate Bishop's bare hip cutouts where her gear is absolutely going to rub raw.

McFarlane never really figured out the solution for the fishnets. When Mattel did them with Zatanna and Black Canary they must have tucked them into the upper thigh somehow because they never gave that crotchless look that Todd has mastered with his BC and Harley.
 
My Canary figures are glued at the top of the thigh, but the crotchless look is due to the hip engineering. No real way around that decision.

But I've seen others where it isn't installed as high.

I saw a side by side with McFarlane Harley and I think the Figuarts Harley, and I really like what Bandai did on theirs, where they almost gave the legs a kinda honeycomb pattern worked into the sculpt to emulate the fishnets, and then colored the legs slightly darker. Kinda comes off a little more like tights or stockings that way, but it certainly skews closer to the look in the movie.

I should also say, to be fair to McFarlane, I hadn't realized, but I guess the break in her boots is accurate to the movie, so I guess I gotta take back that criticism. Never really realized.



I missed the Ivy drop today doing some work stuff. I know she's still available on some sites, but I'm still oddly hung up on paying for shipping unless I absolutely have to. I'm sure I'll be able to snag her eventually.

I have the Figuarts figure and I'm actually planning to sell her. Yes, that was a good strategy for the fishnets.
