McFarlane DC Multiverse

Unfortunately, it will probably not go live on Target's website. I went first thing yesterday morning to my local Target to grab Cyborg Superman. I discovered the listings while I was there. The listing for Cyborg Superman said "Out of Stock" for that particular store despite me holding it in my hand. Most other locations stated "Not sold in this store".

With that in mind, I asked about the SLoS figure and the employee brought out the movie Superman/Krypto. I checked the listing for SLoS (it shares the DPCI with the movie Superman/Krypto) and it also said "Out of Stock". There was another store about 15 minutes away that also said OoS for SLoS and not "Not sold in this store". So I hoofed it there, asked an employee to grab the 2 the had listed in the back, and he returned with the regular and platinum of SLoS. I bought both and pricematched to the Target app which listed them at $30.

McFarlane themselves stated these would be in-store. It sucks and I am not sure why it needs to be this way. If they're counting on me buying anything else while I'm there, they're wrong. I only bought the figures.

This line is the most difficult line I've ever collected if you look at how difficult it is to obtain a large volume of figures. Like half the line is exclusive and/or platinum chase and not sold online besides eBay. Sure, most lines have like one or two SDCC exclusives or similar exclusives that you have to buy on eBay, but it's only for a very small percentage of the line. And yeah, there are more expensive lines, but those are exports or boutique lines Mondo.

McFarlane DC Multiverse is the most difficult line I've ever collected that is supposed to be a mass release.
 
It’s just more of Todd’s manchild inability to get out of a 90s “variant gold foil cover with lenticular collector card!!!!!” bullshit mentality. It’s juvenile and tiresome.

Even though covers in the ‘90s were easy to get mostly, though! They just cost a little more money.

I got lucky and happened to find a Cyborg Superman on McFarlane's official ebay store on Thursday night. Came up to 36 after shipping and taxes, but I figured what the hell, the line's on its last legs and I really want that Hank Henshaw. There had already been 122 sold by the time I got mine, and only 6 left after. By Friday morning they were sold out. Felt pretty lucky, even with the crazy shipping, until I noticed today that they still haven't even printed a damn shipping label.

I've never bought anything from the MCF ebay store, are they notorious foot-draggers? I'm definitely willing to be patient as it's way better than trying to hunt for the damn thing in Wal-Marts and Gamestops, but if this was any other ebay store I would be getting ready to prod them about the delay. Also, I really want that awesome-looking figure in my greedy little paws ASAP!
 
As I said earlier, I found New 52 Superman today. He has very little of the details of the Jim Lee design. What little there is, is painted on. That said, he looks fine for New 52 given how much people hated it at the time. Head sculpt is better than the pictures indicated. Cloth cape but no wires. Unless it’s just mine missing it. It’s ok though because the cape does fall nicely.

Now Todd, do the Morrison New 52 Superman in the tee shirt, jeans, and home made cape. That was fun.
 
Yeah, though I'm not a New 52 Superman fan, I feel bad for those that are. This one was phoned in big time. How often have we gotten a Superman on a buck with sculpted in lines that shouldn't be there? Now here's a Superman who SHOULD be on a buck with sculpted in lines, but they just don't care. Didn't then and don't now. They just want to crank this one buck out as much as they possibly can before the end. Lazy.
 
I haven't seen this yet. Godzilla and modern Wonder Woman 2 pack. WW looks like mostly reuse (not surprising since the Gadot costume and the modern comic look are almost exactly the same thing). She looks good with the limited images shown here.
 
Looks like BBTS is having a 20% off sale on a lot of Multiverse items right now, through the 6th. Seems to mostly be older, easy to find things, and isn't that much of a discount, but it's something. Only thing I'm really tempted by is the Forever Batmobile, but I only want it for Alfred, so not sure how great a deal it really is.
The Batman Forever Batmobile with Alfred is $64.99 on the McFarlane Toys website. It's the lowest price I've seen but the lowest s&h will probably add $20.
 
I figured McFarlane would use the DCEU Woman Woman body, add a comic book head & add it to the Godzilla 2 pack. I would like this for the current JL, but I do not want Godzilla, Kong or the wrong Titano.

Weren’t we supposed to get a Godzilla vs Superman set first? How did that one fall through the cracks before the 3rd set was announced with a Wonder Woman and a variant Godzilla ? Feels a little premature?

She looks like the 12" statue I'm always tempted to buy but have zero space or need for. This is a good thing! :)

I've got the regular WW front and center of my display but she looks off compared to everyone around her and this version will hopefully be a much better mesh.

And for once, Godzilla should sell on his own for a good amount! Hope this pack is coming to Targets like the rest have.
