McFarlane DC Multiverse

Wait, what does Elite mean?

It's his latest line of action figures. They have a cool White Banner with a gold foil stamp that says McFarlane Elite with the spawn logo. It appears on her slide.

They are generally $60 so far. I don't think they're out from most of you, but I got Diablo Lilith and Doomguy this week in Toronto. I thought it was going to be a video game and related properties given their lineup so far but...here comes Zee.

I know there's a lot of talk about how bad the photos look, but in hand, I find Lilith and Slayer to have way better than average McF sculpts, higher paint apps, and they come with a bunch of accessories. Lilith has four faceplates, lots of hands, and soft goods. Slayer has soft goods, and lots of original sculpts for well painted weapons.

So in short, it's supposed to be his better than Deluxe high price point line. On a personal level that's about what I paid for. Worms of Madness Shredder and leatherhead, and I feel like I got more bang for my buck out of these elites.
 
I'm interested to see if Inc. will be a new sculpt or 3J reuse. Sadly, it's most likely gonna be the latter and I won't buy it then. The gold and black Earth2 Bats on Murder Machine body looks cool. Scarecrow is neat but a little too buff? We'll see.

Zatanna will hopefully turn out well.
 
Little analysis from yesterday:

12 new figures formally announced at SDCC by Todd in the DCM lineup.

Obsidian
BatMetron
Dr. Mid-Nite (McNider)
Zatanna/Detective Chimp
Classic Scarecrow
Hush Riddler
Static II
Jack Knight Starman
Classic Batgirl
Batman Inc.
New 52 E-2 Batman III (Grayson)

6 Bat related
3 JSA
2 females
1 Pack in figure (Detective Chimp)
1 outside main continuity (E-2 Batman)
9 of these were leaked or rumored.
3 came in under the radar.

Starman
Detective Chimp
Static II

I maintain that Todd is gonna get us as much JSA as possible before the end of his license.

Preorder update:

7/29/25 Collectors Edition wave of Metron, Deathstroke, and Mirror Master.

7/31/25 Super Friends.
 
Met a friend for dinner. Went to the grocery store after, which I’ve been avoiding for three days, and checked the adjacent Target afterwards. SCORE! Regular Dark Archer, regular Kite-Man, regular Metron, and Platinum Darkstar. Just canceled my preorders and am going to hit a couple more Targets tomorrow for the Platinum Metron and another Platinum Darkstar. They’re out there people. Be persistent.
 
I went to a few Targets today and found regular & platinum Dark Archer & Darkstar and regular Kiteman & Metron. None of them had platinum Kiteman or Metron. I was able to pick up 2 platinum Darkstars. Also, no Deathstroke or Mirror Master, which I though would be with Metron.
 
Not sure why Zatanna has the thigh high boots. She's almost always in fishnets and heels. Stage Magician. Whole point.
 
Mini review:

Kite-Man is fine. He’s fun.

Dark Archer is very cool. Love any of DC’s Archers.

Darkstar is just plain cool to have. Never really expected him. Kinda like Captain Carrot.

Metron is spectacular. Best of the wave. Maybe my favorite figure of the year so far. He’s perfect. Can’t wait to find the Platinum.
 
Figurineforall.com just got Steve Trevor back in stock. I grabbed him. Overpaid but it scratches him off the hunt list. Which is actually worth the premium.
 
Found these at Target on Friday. They also had both Darkstar regular and platinum.

Looks like most Targets are getting all of these in at the same time. I've seen a lot of other people finding them as well. But different parts of the country have different case assortments. Some have the platinum Metron and Kite Man, and others have the platinum Dark Archer and Darkstar.

Finally joined these boards, as not enough people are talking about classic Kite Man on the Fwoosh, ha! Really hoping I can track down that platinum, as any new Bat-Rogues (especially classics) are my cup of tea.
 
My Target still hasn't done their toy reset. I seriously stop by every day. I stopped by the next closest one yesterday and they haven't done theirs yet either. I really want Kite Man (missed the pre-order), Metron and the platinums for both Darkstar and Merlyn.

I ended up ordering Mr Miracle, Sandman, Plat movie Scarecrow, Monarch, Stephanie Brown, NML Batman and Supes/Godzilla from Toy Snowman yesterday and got free shipping. The Supes/Godzilla was $12 cheaper than the existing pre-orders that I had at both BBTS and Amazon.

Still need James Gordon also. Sigh.
 
Of the 3 Tragets I visited today (just got back from vacation) 2 had end caps with a lone Merlyne and Darkstar. Everything else was gone already.
