For Walmart, use Google instead of going to Walmart directly, you get better results:

That neckline is atrocious. Also, am I the only getting giraffe vibes off her?

Just found PP Killing Joke-r at Target. Paint work on his face is good, the coat is... a slightly folded swatch of fabric. Hmmmm. His tie is also not well-covered by the paint.
 
Just got a cancellation notice from Walmart on Emerald Twilight Green Lantern. 🤬 Walmart! I was able to reorder, so we’ll see if this one goes through.

I'm waiting to make any decisions about my DC collecting until after we see what Mattel's plans are. As it stands I have at least one version of every character every made each by any of DC Direct / DC Collectibles, Mattel and McFarlane. I'll almost at least certainly buy any new characters that Mattel makes but am going to wait before making any decisions about purging anything for now. I purged some DCD stuff when Mattel first announced DCUC and some of that I now wish that I'd held onto, so I don't want to make that mistake again.

I don’t have the luxury of a fallback favorite character. I just don’t. Just buying Batman or Superman or Bugs Bunny will not be satisfactory to me. I have niches I follow. Not particular characters. I’ve not retained my previous collections. So my baseline is Todd. And I want as much of the comic based DCU as I can get. But I need it to be from a single source. I’m unable to mix these various lines together. Yes, I realize that that’s a me problem. I mean I can’t even mix movie and game figures in with comic figures. But what I’ve always wanted is DC Legends for lack of a better descriptor.

If Mattel had retained the license in 2020, I’d have been OK. If Todd had retained the license this year, that would’ve been ideal. Ultimately, my problem is the handoff after what seems like a relatively short period of time to a company that lost the license in the first place over what seems like apathy, neglect, and hubris. Now they fixed it somehow. How by the way?

I was hoping Todd would get a nice long run out of DC. 12-15 years would’ve been ideal. Mattel held the license for 17 years and only managed to put out around 500 comic figures. In 15 years Todd would’ve gotten to the Metal Men, the Doom Patrol, the Freedom Fighters, and maybe even the Challengers of the Unknown. Moreover, we’d have gotten all the crazy side characters too like Claw or Sideways or Loose Cannon.

I have a feeling that Mattel will be extremely risk averse in terms of character selection. Character selection is the number one factor in my purchasing decisions. Again, a me problem.
