McFarlane DC Multiverse

Think of it like this... if there was a big, universe wide crossover book but every character in the book was drawn by a different artist that book would look insane and awful. I want a collection that looks like a big universe wide crossover drawn by Georege Perez or Garcia Lopez or John Byrne... but I want it to look internally consistent for sure.

Yes I prefer a 'DC Universe according to Dick Giordano' approach as well......except when it comes to the Shazam family that we will never get. In that case I want Earth-S by CC Beck.

I have had two run-ins in the last month with Target pulling merchandise out of my hands at the register and I am SO SICK of being treated like a criminal because I tried to purchase merchandise I found *on the shelf*. Way to make me NEVER want to buy a product but the real thing is the managers refuse to even try and then treat me like I'm the bad guy. I complained to corporate both times but fervently after the second time and that was a completely useless waste of my time.

I think the average Target store/department manager and the average collector would both be happy to never set eyes on each other again, but corporate wants our money.
 
I'm gonna need that Batgirl. I like Batman, I like Batgirl, I like purple.......I can't afford not to get this figure. If I don't buy this figure, it will be the dumbest thing I have ever done!

Thats not true of course. I have done so many dumb things. One that comes to mind is I was once at Myrtle Beach, and there is this place that's called "Alligator Adventure" It has tons of live gators, and gator fossils, and just all sorts of gator-goodness, as well as snakes, tigers, etc. Well, the inside is set up like it's this jungle safari world with all these wooden decks and rope bridges. So, I was standing on this wooden deck. And there were 4 steps down to another huge, wooden deck. Well, instead of using the steps my mind blanked and thought, "Nah, you don't need steps, gravity is a lie" and I just stepped way out, and I missed all the stairs and slammed hard as hell down onto the lower deck. Just slamming into this hard ass wood. The alligators were DYING laughing, and also in full predator mode thinking they could eat me because I was down and hurt.

I was like "shut up you bitch ass half dino's!" But they were just laughing it up. I will not let the alligators mock me again because I did not buy this Batgirl.

I do understand this. But I’ve never been down with the “house style” like Marvel. I don’t understand why it has to be applied to merchandise. I actually liked DCD back in the day with Neal Adams style Hard Traveling Heroes or the Humberto Ramos Impulse and Max Mercury. The Ross Kingdom Come figures were beautiful but stiff. It was pretty fun to me.
 
I like Red Tornado. I like Blackfire, but wish she had a cape. I'm not crazy about Batgirl being painted the purple & yellow tv colors. Since I don't want all 3, I guess I'll wait until they are at a Walmart.

They finally make a bronze age Superman without the black line around the S on his chest and they Jokerize him. I believe the things they do to these figures are intentional.

It sucks that this keeps happening to you. When I worked at Toys R Us, I would apologize profusely if something was shelved before street date, and always stick the would-be buyer's name and number on the item so they could come back and get it on the day. I even let them ring up another item of the same value if they pitched a fit, aware that it would screw up our inventory. I don't see why Target employees would be a-holes when they don't have to be.

I’m surprised Target didn’t do something similar in this instance because they are partnered with Shipto in the event that he could have the item sent to him from the store on that specific date. At least as a way of correcting the matter. But to treat him like a criminal is unacceptable by any measure.

My Walmart still has 3 on the shelf. Let me know if you want me to pick one up for you. Cost + shipping.

I’m pretty glad that I’m not preordering any new reveals except Red Tornado. My wallet could use a break. Love the color scheme and cape on Red Tornado compared to the original. Another old McFarlane figure for the sale pile.
