MAFEX DC Figures

Revox said:
On the DC side, this month's reveal is a ZS Supes in the trad colours this time. Comes with a smiling head and 3 heat vision ones, plus a Cyclops style beam effect.

(the other reveal is Shurri in her BP suit)

Not a fan of the head options to be honest. Three heat vision heads, all in various states of anger, could easily have been paired down to one. The smiling head is OK, but........he never smiled. The rest of the figure looks good, colors are nice.

I'm happy for everyone who needs their 40th slight variation of a Superman from nearly a decade ago.

It's crazy how companies keep going back to this very old well of a dead movie continuity. I like the Snyderverse more than a lot of people but I don't need any more figures. Between Mattel, McFarlane, Mafex, Mezco, we can be done here.
 
There are an absurd amount of Mafex DC figures I would buy if they'd make them, and I don't even really collect DC figures. How many more figures from this accursed movieverse are even left?
 
I don't have the OG MoS Superman they released (plus I hear it was back in the bad old days where they could be incredibly hit and miss) so I'm happy enough for another chance to get a non-recovery suit version. But I completely understand what you all mean, it's nuts how on board they are with it. By my reckoning, there's still all these to come:

  1. Knightmare Batman
  2. Knightmare Joker
  3. Knightmare Superman (today's one apparently)
  4. ZSJL Tactical Suit Batman
  5. Aquaman 2 trad colours
  6. ZSJL Flash
  7. The Flash, er, Flash
  8. Aquaman 2 stealth version
  9. Aquaman 2 Black Manta
  10. Doctor Fate from Black Adam
  11. Shazam 2 Captain Marvel
  12. ZSJL Wonder Woman
  13. The Flash Other Barry in a Batman Returns suit
  14. The Suicide Squad Bloodsport
  15. The Suicide Squad Peacemaker
Plus maybe also a Old Man Keaton Bats from The Flash, can't remember.

Now I'd quite like some of those (Superman, JL Flash and Wonder Woman, Peacemaker and Bloodsport, and Doctor Fate just because he actually looks pretty cool as it goes) but I agree, it's ludicrous to keep working on it when there's so much more popular stuff they could be doing.

That said, if they were to announce a Mary Marvel or Vigilante too, I'd wouldn't complain.
 
Mary Marvel would be awesome. Wouldn't mind Batman and Supergirl from The Flash.

If they're dead set on milking a few more drops from this franchise:

(MOS/Flash) Zod.
(WW84) Cheetah. Super unmemorable, but NO ONE made her.
 
I saw a first in-hand review for Superboy (He's a little taller than Nightwing which is a bummer). Here's hoping BBTS gets it soon. Here's hoping for an "affordable" (for Mafex standards) price.
 
Medicom posted the April releases overnight--Superboy and four variants of already-released figures three of which are Star Wars and the other is Michael Jordan with a white Bulls uniform that they wore for home games when he played. Rogue from X-Men got pushed until next month overnight.

Here's that review I assume yojoe is referring to from Kaiju Daddy. He lives near Medicom's primary store in Japan, so he usually knows what's releasing and gets them before anyone in America does.

Amazon bumped Rogue out to June a month ago for me and they have never been incorrect. So my faith had already left.
 
Superboy hit my HLJ private warehouse this morning, so I paid for shipping and now wait for him to start his journey home to me.

I'd be down for the team from The Suicide Squadm the rest of this is very meh.

Have they done any comic or animation characters that new yet, or any animated characters at all? Reign of Supermen is an animated film from 2019 isn't it? I'm not that familiar with it.

This blew my mind. We all have our blind spots, things we missed for unknown reasons. I had never heard of Boondock Saints until about 10 years ago. Still never seen it. You not knowing the cycle of Death/Reign/Return of Superman is pretty far up there on the "WHUUUUUU--" scale.
