McFarlane DC Multiverse

Decent amount of Batman announced this weekend.

Dr. Mid-Nite
Möbius Chair Batman
New 52 Earth 2 Batman III
Classic gray Batgirl
Black Mask/Batman

Preorders up on the 17th and 18th.
 
I wish Black Mask was just regular Black Mask. But I might still get this version where he's dressed as Batman. Other than that, I think I'll get Earth 2 Batman and Batgirl.
 
Batgirl's face looks great, but why all the extra lines all over that classic suit? And is Scarecrow that jacked in the comics? Guess I'm used to him looking like a scarecrow... for some reason.
 
I might have to fly to China to get Dr. Mid-Nite. Batman on the Chair seems to just be about reuse of the Chair. Pass. I’m a sucker for Multiverse characters. E-2 Batman is a must. Batgirl looks good, but I’ve always preferred the black and yellow FA SA look for Barbara. Black Mask may be the only one we get. I’m in.
 
As a Scarecrow super-fan, I'm not against him being jacked, per se. It's happened before- the Legends of the Dark Knight figure, Injustice 2 (though that whole look is just a hallucination, but I freaking love it). I think I'll have to see how the actual figure looks, because those digital renders can often be a bit misleading. If his chest is a bit broad, but he's still skinny, that I'll be okay with. But if he's kinda barrel-chested all-around, then I may not be too happy. I mean, I'll buy it either way, but I'll "Harumph!" as I do so.

Black Mask Batman is definitely a cool look, but like many others, I think I'd rather just get Black Mask himself. He really hasn't had many well-articulated figures over the years. The Arkham Origins one looked kinda good, but its articulation was a travesty. Same with the old Secret Files one- great sculpt, but pre-posed. The Club Infinite Earths one was well-articulated, sure, but it was 95% reuse of that same damn suited body. I really just want a well-articulated basic Black Mask.

I know Todd has to put out a certain number of Batman variants or the chip in his brain will explode, but come on- Hugo Strange and Black Mask as Batman variants, but not giving us their regular looks? A cheap move.
 
Black Mask *should* be just movie Lex in black/black tie and white shirt, with a black skull head. Easy. Done.

UNLESS they want to be cool and go classic Bronze Age, which is still same body just in orange/black pinstripe, with mask/hat head.
 
This fall seems pretty Bat heavy. Missing from the announcements, but shown at SDCC are:

Hush Riddler
Scarecrow
Batman Inc.

And:

Static Shock which is an MTS Gold Label Exclusive and the Red Platinum Jack Knight. I’m prepared to pay $100.00 plus tax and shipping for Jack. I don’t wanna pay that, but I will if I have to.
 
Found Deathstroke in Gamestop yesterday, utilizing the monthly 5 dollar coupon with pro rewards I was able to get him for 28 before tax, which is significantly cheaper than my BBTS pre-order so I cancelled that with the quickness. He's pretty much perfect.

Also just ordered Obsidian from MTS once I learned that they have changed their shipping costs to be much more reasonable. Ended up only having to pay 33 for him shipped because of the 10% off code and only having to pay 6 bucks shipping instead of the 11+ it used to be. Wish I would have known about that when the bundle with Mr. Bones and Obsidian was still in stock, but what the hell, I only ever read one issue of Infinity, Inc. in my life so it's not like I'm a big Mr. Bones fan. He just looks like a cool toy. Glad to have Obsidian locked in and on the way though.

Now I just need to keep plugging away at trying to get Hawkgirl for under 45 bucks on ebay and I'll be pretty much caught up on my McFarlane wants.

This feels like a wave.
I want this wave.
Heh.

Also would love Platinums:
-Riddler in B:tAS deco, which seems likely.
-Scarecrow also in B:tAS deco
-unsure with Batman, maybe all black without the “light” deco emanating from the emblem?
 
I definitely want Scarecrow and Batman Inc Batman. I don't know if I will get the Hush Riddler. The last Riddler figure that came out was perfect to me. I don't know I need anything beyond him.

I do wish we could get a regular Black Mask figure and a comic Ra's Al Ghul before Todd wraps everything up. After opening the Mirror Master figure that I just got, I really wish we'd get Weather Wizard too.

I wasn't planning on getting Hush Riddler but a TAS deco would be a "buy" for me. For both characters.

That Mr. Freeze with the TAS paint job is one of my top 5 figures of the whole line.
 
Hush Riddler is now an official part of the wave.

Reviewing the leaked lists from earlier this year, it strikes me as to how accurate they are. So according to said lists, we should see (soon-ish):

Atom Smasher v Spectre deluxe 2-pack

*‘66 Batmobile

The Batman Theatrical wave

Deluxe Failsafe

CoIE Joker

Zero Hour (mullet) Superman

*Should be a corresponding 7” ‘66 Batman with a fabric cape.
 
Didn’t realize’66 Batman had a fabric cape. Sorry.

As to the Theatrical stuff, I’m not sure. Whatever the wave that has Christopher Walken in it is what I mean. And the giant Devito Duck.

Mullet Superman has to have a Platinum variant in the Resurrection suit.
