McFarlane DC Multiverse

Quick question actually regarding this strange lives of Superman set: we technically don’t have a comic accurate silver age Superman blue counterpart to the Superman red, coreect? Because that version should have a blue cape, blue trunks, blue boots and a blue and yellow adorned shield on his chest.

No Superman Blue yet. Maybe they will make it a red platinum like the Red Lantern Guy Gardner.
 
Shanna, Rogue, and Sauron is an SDCC exclusive 3-pack announced today. Ya think Todd announces his SDCC exclusive tomorrow on McFarlane Toys TV? 1:00 PM EST.
 
According to multiple sources on Instagram, Kite Man goes up for preorder on the Target app and website tomorrow morning at 9:00 EST. Early morning for our west coast friends.
 
New pictures shown of 'disco' Nightwing, Mr Miracle, RoS Superboy, first appearance Wonder Woman, Sandman and some black costume Batman with really long 'ears'.

Why is Todd just now making this the figure line it always should have been? Mr Miracle is gorgeous and I'll have to try to get that one. I'm tempted by that Nightwing too.
 
My Walmart is a let down 99% of the time for ALL figure lines that I collect. But for some reason they've been getting Multiverse stuff in lately. A couple weeks ago I spotted Bizarro and Jade. Today I scored Commissioner Gordon who is pretty well executed. I think the head sculpt is a nice representation of the character and the jacket (surprisingly) has a nice wash on it that brings it to life. Bonus points for the pistol which, yes, is the absolute bare minimum as far as accessories go but also shows that the "no guns" mandate is a thing of the past (?). Maybe? I like it.
 

There's some good stuff here that I know that I'm going to want to get.

That Steve Trevor looks awesome, but I also believe that he's supposed to be a Platinum.

Stephanie Brown Batgirl/Spoiler is a must get and I'll likely get Monarch as well. I don't ever want to buy another Batman figure but that No Man's Land version looks sweet. I recently caved and purchased the Cowardly Lot version also even though I never intended to buy it until I saw it in the wild.

Mr Miracle and Sandman are buys assuming they get listed online or my Target actually stocks them since they're exclusives and my luck with Target has been terrible lately.

Batwing 2.0 is a buy for me. How many damn Azraels is Todd going to make? For real, there are still some big name characters that haven't even gotten one release. Black Canary, maybe?

I'd likely buy that Beast Boy, but the UCC exclusive thing makes that seem less likely. I'm fine with the one I have, I guess.

Mirror Master and Metron are must-haves. Possibly Deathstroke also.

Above all of those though, my biggest want out of this enter group is Kite-Man who goes up for pre-order from Target tomorrow morning. I hope that goes better for me that Psylocke/Thanos did.
 
Some pretty cool reveals. I dig that Sandman- some more reuse of the TDK Joker body. But since he's an exclusive, I'll probably never see him. I kinda like the long ears Batman, but it's not quiiiiite the gangly Kelley Jones one that I like. Batwing 2.0 and Spoiler look pretty good too; I'm tempted to grab more Bat Family members. Was hoping they'd show off Scarecrow, but alas, I'll have to wait a bit longer.

Did finally see some of the new Superman Legacy figures today- only Supes and Metamorpho, though. Metamorpho looked really cool; it's figures like him with all that unique sculpting at a basic price point that confuses me all the more when Hasbro bumps the price of certain characters just because of the paint apps. Superman looked really good too- great likeness. I gotta say, though, I didn't care for the battle damaged variant at all- just looks like he got thrown around in the dirt and scuffed up and then put back in the box. Waiting until I see the movie to commit to any figures, but they at least look really good!
 
Good stuff in the reveals.

*Kingdom Come Superman cover. Looks great. Don’t need/want it though.

*Batman Who Laughs/Merciless is nice but again don’t want/need it.

*Knightfall Azrael. Getting redundant.

*Batwing 2.0. Love Luke Fox. Good to see him confirmed.

*Troika Batman. Cool but don’t need it. But I’m still thinking about it.

*Beast Boy. Hope he’s not too difficult to get. Maybe an outlier for the Doom Patrol?

*Classic Deathstroke. I like the modern version better. Still might get this one.

*Metron. Must have.

*Mirror Master. Must have.

*Sandman. Must have.

*Disco Nightwing. Must have.

*Monarch. Must have.

*No Mans Land Batman. Must have. Hoped I could skip.

*Steve Trevor. Must have. Layup for Blackhawk repaint before we close this out. Trevor is a first for me as I don’t buy supporting cast and civilians. But he’s exceptional. WWII related and all. Gimme.

*Batgirl/Stephanie. Must have.

*GA Wonder Woman. Must have.

*Superboy. Must have.

*Mr. Miracle. Must have.

This hits my high spots with JSA, New Gods, and Titans/YJ.

Disappointed with no Mr. Bones/Obsidian. But I’m not gonna get greedy.

And I know I’m seeing what I wanna see at some level, but these guys seem to be getting more excited about DC, not less as it winds down. Maybe they know something we don’t. Like maybe 2026 isn’t the end of the road. Or at least that negotiations are going well.
 
Beast Boy is the only one I want from these - is he an exclusive, UCC? What's the mean?
 
I officially need this Nightwing to go with Batman Troika. Ponytail and all but I will accept it as an alternate head or a platinum that I have to hunt down. And it would be great if Todd could put a bendy wire inside the pony tail so it’s prehensile and articulated?

I was finally able to be at my computer when Nerdzoic sends DC Multiverse in stocks alerts to customers emails. I now have a Red Platinum Red Lantern Guy Gardner shipping soon. I've missed his in stock alerts every time this year except this time. I was 18 minutes too late though for the Strange Lives of Superman.
