Same! I wound up buying a loose Black Adam at a convention, as I never found that figure in the wild, and secondary market prices for that leg alone are ridiculous. My Chemo remains tucked away in a bin, missing his leg!I'm still missing his leg that came with Black Adam. I've never gotten to put him up on a shelf.
I think there is usually a bit of overlap. Once McFarlane has locked in the last of their production Mattel can start showing their product to retailers for orders, if I'm not mistaken. I remember the Hasbro 1/12 Fortnite stuff was being shown at Toyfair while the last few waves of the Jazwares figures in that scale were still showing up in stores.
Dammit. I thought McFarlane was done at the end of the year.
I only have 2. Captain Carrot, and Manbat. I'll keep Carrot unless Mattel releases one, and I'll keep Manbat forever, because he's my favorite most precious boy.
I'll likely keep the few I have, but won't display them unless the Mattel stuff winds up being in the same scale...and even then that is iffy. My DC collection is primarily 1:12, so I've only collected a small sampling of McF's stuff, which I used to display in my office at work. I've since left that job and now have a much smaller cubicle, so I don't have room for the Multiverse display I had going. My main display at home is mostly DCUC figures, and I tend to only buy stuff that is compatible with those. I can't see overhauling my home display with 1:10 scale stuff, but if I'm REALLY enamored of Mattel's offerings, and they happen to be in that scale, there is a possibility I would shift the 1:10 stuff over to my home display and box up my DCUC. They'd have to be really incredible for me to go that route though. Most likely, I'd just not collect the line at all and leave the McF stuff in bins.
