McFarlane DC Multiverse

I found a Saturn Girl yesterday and almost bought her to go with my Superboy. But the figure was missing the circular part of her left shoulder joint. Leaving a big gap between the top of her arm and her torso. So I let it there.

For the best, anyway. I can't find the matching Cosmic Boy, so why bother.
 
So does that "end of the road" imply those are the last figures Todd is releasing? Or just that things are starting to wrap up?

If the number of released figures is anywhere near the amount of rumored figures, it'll be an influx in the last couple months. I wonder if Todd isn't trying to kinda subtly sneak his way into 2027 a bit. I'm sure there'll be a little overlap period where both McFarlane and Mattel are on the shelf at the same time, but if Todd were to theoretically make a wave or two and ship it out like early-mid December, it probably wouldn't get to a lot of places until after the holidays. And, in theory, that would be more on the stores themselves for putting them out late, not Todd. I don't know how the contracts work, of course- there may be a set date where any and all new product has to be on shelves, but if not, I could see him trying to prolong the shelf life as much as (legally) possible.
The way I read it implies that this is all Todd has left to get out. He’s got nothing further to work on.

I don’t know how it works, but I’m sure Todd will drag this out for as long as he is able.

What I’m pretty sure of is that any leftover inventory on 1/1/27 won’t be on the toy aisle. Likely it’ll move to the collector aisle. Or the clearance section.
 
Guess I can return the extra Plat Supergirl I got to make Mary Marvel if necessary! Red dress and shoulders she was halfway there!

Still no Lois frickin' Lane...

The Reeve pulling his shirt open is a definite want - he should come with Lois. And is that a Bruce Wayne? I just got all the fodder I needed to make one I saw a good custom recipe for. Hmmm...

Are any new Lex or Sinestros on the rumors list? It's so many figures I can't remember. Absolute Superman is a yes for me - I love that look.

Really hope Todd isn't re-releasing The Batman Penguin figure - that dude is FINALLY gone from most toy shelves. Unless he comes with Cristin Milioti.
 
Still waiting on a proper 80s/pre-nu52 Power Suit Lex Luthor, a first appearance Joker, Red Rain Batman . . .

Probably going to have to hold out for Mattel for my biggest wants.
