McFarlane DC Multiverse

Some would say that I’m an apologist for Todd. Sometimes I might agree. I do enjoy the product, in spite of the philosophy and the delivery system behind it often being dated and out of touch. On the other side of that, Todd’s social media and marketing team are some of the best I’ve seen. I don’t believe I’ve ever enjoyed collecting more than I am right now. In 2009, I bought 49 DCUC figures from Mattel. This year, I’ve bought 59 Multiverse figures from Todd so far with three months left in the year. I’ve got 10 figures on preorder with another dozen on deck. And that is before what is traditionally Todd’s biggest show of the year in terms of DC figures. NYCC.

But this has been a rough week. We knew that Dr. Mid-Nite/Pieter Cross would be a Platinum. We knew Jack Knight/Starman would be a Red Platinum. But I wasn’t expecting Guardian, Cheetah, and Extant to all be Red Platinums. This is the stuff that animates my collecting drive. These are the characters that get me stoked. And now I have to hunt. Not really enjoyable at this point. One doesn’t generally bother me. Four is a serious pain in the @$$. And with no evidence whatsoever, I’m positive the new Red Tornado will have a Platinum. The FA of the SA Red Tornado in his red and purple costume from when he was a JSA member. Because Todd.

Whew. Just venting. I needed to get that out. Thanks.
