McFarlane DC Multiverse

[bat1975]

Got Rebirth Batman in from the McF store and Batman Inc. from eBay today.

Rebirth is all reuse, of course, but cape is actually quite nice, but no wire. I think I can do the same mod as the NML Bats from earlier this year.

Inc. has a new head sculpt that I quite like, though it’s back to that fused neck design, like 3 Jokers or Hush. The yellow light effect from his chest emblem is actually pretty subtle in hand, so I might just leave it alone. Cape also has no wire, but seems to have the opening for the same mod.

All in all, a couple of decent figures, good not great. Have Returns Batman on the way also, looking forward to that one.

I wish I had gotten that Rebirth Batman from MTS. I might have to hunt that down on the aftermarket.

Was just listening to the Jazz Inc stream from a couple of weeks ago for the 1/12 89' Batwing crowd fund, and apparently Jack Nicholson has stopped giving permission for toys and figures with his likeness. If this is accurate, a McFarlane figure isn't going to happen.

Gives credence to the claim that McFarlane is pursuing doing an 89 Joker based off the promotional literature / comics / print tie-ins in lieu of an exact Nicholson Joker figure. I have to wonder if Jack's estate will likely cash in once he is no longer making those yea vs. nay decisions on his likeness.

It's interesting that Zatanna was posted so early in EB, but we got nothin' to see or know.

The lack of wired cape is such a frustrating cost cut. That shiny, rigid cape material only works if you have a wire, otherwise it’s infinitely worse than the soft plastic capes we used to get.

The new cape/cowl were the main reasons I got that figure…guess I’ll try and mod it also.
