Metron, Mirror Master, and presumably Deathstroke are up for preorder 7/29/25.
It took MTS a while to ship my BvS Alfred as well. I got him about a week ago. But what really irks me is that I see everyone getting their Phygital sets of Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing and Monarch already delivered and in-hand from MTS, and mine haven't even shipped yet!! WTF? I ordered them within the first minute they went live. It takes like nine days for me to get anything from MTS after it ships, so it really pisses me off that they haven't even shipped them yet. I'm thinking of contacting them.I received my BvS Alfred figure from MTS yesterday. It was supposed to ship in May. The Phygital figures with Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing & Monarch will arrive today from MTS. The AzBat, Troika Batman & Batwing have shipped as well from MTS. I got an email that the Eradicator figure has finally shipped from MTS. That was also supposed to ship in May. Somehow it takes a week for the figures to leave Nevada, but a few days to arrive in PA.
The MTS direct shipments were delayed due to the tariff situation. All this backlogged stuff is supposed to be arriving soon.My Bat bundle + Monarch arrived yesterday. I’m not sure why the speed is so variable. I used to regularly get figures ahead of retail from MTS. Sometimes by several weeks. This is the first time it’s happened in a while. On the other hand, Target is getting the CE wave before the preorder went up.
No telling what’s going on in the supply chain. I vaguely remember when a cargo ship with containers full of McFarlane product sank. Then there’s the hijackings and whatnot. Interesting times.
Kinda figured it was something like that. But I started noticing the delays even before the tariffs. I just figured Tar-Mart was getting pissed that online etailers were getting product in and back out before it hit the Distribution Centers of the Big Two. Around the time the Batman wave with multiple Platinums came out. It had the single Lucius Fox and Worlds Finest Composite Superman/Batman/Green Lantern.The MTS direct shipments were delayed due to the tariff situation. All this backlogged stuff is supposed to be arriving soon.
I hope so. Todd showed at least a half dozen figures at WonderCon that weren’t on any leaked lists that I ever saw. And I go out of my way to try and keep up with the latest rumors, gossip and such for DCM. A reaction to years of collecting DCUC, where information was doled out with an eye dropper.Are we expecting any surprizes as regards reveals today?
