We knew the Batman Beyond figure was coming from McFarlane Toys, but now Todd has announced the entire wave which will include a Joker-Bot Build-A-Figure.

The 4 figures in the wave will need to complete the Build-A-Figure will be released over the course of several months. This is how the release schedule will break down.

-Batman Beyond - April 2021
-Shriek - June 2021
-Batwoman Beyond - August 2021
-Blight - October 2021

DC Multiverse – Batman Beyond Assortment Revealed by Todd McFarlane

[warmachine6]

The distrubiton of this is very odd like a figure every 2 months ?
considering mcfarlane waves are very small like 4-5 figures.
Unless he adding something new so we just dont see batman on the shelves.

[Grant C]

What a silly way to release a wave of figures. Every other month I have to chase down a figure to get the complete wave. What a pain in the ass!

[Comedian]

Very cool. But I don’t like waiting 6 months to build this.

Feels like mattels dc universe classics and their stupid revision cases.

[EvilMonkeyPope]

Shriek looks awesome but I have no interest in that ugly Joker BAF.

[bigkid24]

Is that BAF from the comics or something? So weird but everything else looks awesome so I'll have the BAF just from buying everything.

[Wheeljack]

They have Blight? Hell yeah!

[ShabbyBlue]

I wasn't expecting Todd to do Batman Beyond villains too, so Shriek and Blight are very welcome surprises. However I am disappointed that the Batman Beyond figure itself doesn't include an unmasked Terry or Old Bruce head to go with it. I'll still get it though along with Shriek and Blight, but I'll pass on Batwoman Beyond. I'm glad the BAF isn't one I want either.

Also there's some recently leaked order lists that show McFarlane will be doing the full line up of figures for the Justice League Snyder Cut movie (Batman, Aquaman, WW, Superman in red/blue, Superman in black suit, Flash, and 2 versions of Cyborg -- plus the Snyder version of Steppenwolf and Darkseid) as well as leaked info that he's doing several figures from the Batman Forever film (Kilmer Batman, Robin, Two-Face, Riddler) and Batman & Robin film (Clooney Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze) coming in the 3rd quarter of this year. Very interesting if true. I hope this means he'll eventually be tackling the 2 Burton films as well.

[EvilMonkeyPope]

Todd really need to fast track movie Cheetah to be available by WW84's Blu-ray release.

...What comic is that weird OMAC robot with half-Joker/half-Batman head from? I feel like I vaguely remember it, but I can't quite recall...

[snake5289]

Wasn't a fan of the Batwoman Beyond arc but I'll probably pick up the whole wave...if I can find them of course. Hopefully they won't be hard to get on Amazon.

[Trivial Psychic]

If the sculpts are any good...I'll snatch up every last one of those Schumacher villains. Two Face especially.

[EZTOYDUDE]

Which blight cause he's showing 2 diffrent pictures of him i hope its more show than comic blight figure

All the other figures have been comic-inspired so far, including Shriek, so I guess it's going to be the comic version. While I infinitely prefer the animated design, I guess the new comic design could've been worse. Kinda reminds me of some version of Atomic Skull.

[IzzyTipsy]

Would have preferred Blight in his suit with glowing skeleton. But I'll take any.

Rest of the wave looks meh.

Todd said it himself, he is listening to what the retailers want. They are his true customers, not the collectors. No collector wants a BaF wave spaced out over 6 months. Retailers do because it gets people to visit their stores more frequently and potentially buy other stuff each trip.

Totally agree. Well he's giving comic material love, though prefer seeing animated versions (wasnt really satisfied with the figures produced in the past by DC). I would ideally would have loved a BAF Bat Armor (from the Batman Beyond that Bruce used against Inque). I know Inque would be very difficult to make but am glad for the villains. I'm tempted for the Shriek and Batman Beyond but that Joker Bot BAF definitely makes me lean toward passing. I imagine the figures produced is a combination of Todd and Warner/DC (they never did stop making/releasing figures after 2019 did they?). BUt credit to Todd, he is really cranking these out.

[dCon]

So Todd is kicking ass again. Straight up!

I love the baf futures end Batman Beyond Joker Android. I don't love the idea the wave's characters all don't come together in one wave like the previous waves. Maybe it's a misunderstanding?

[PaintedKING]

Something to consider is the customer that can't buy an entire wave at once for a BAF, or the casual customer with a kid going into the store occasionally-- those two customer types will have a greater chance at getting this BAF since it releases over time.

Definitely annoying for people who throw down for a full wave on release, but to say it's entirely against consumer I think leaves out a large demo

[RamenRider]

It seems like the headsculpt on Batman Beyond was changed, they got rid of the mouth and went with sculpted lines under his eyes instead. I much prefer this new sculpt honestly, the mouth is an iconic part of the Batman Beyond suit but it rarely works on action figures IMO.

From online bits it seems that there will be two releases of BB. One will be the first one shown and the second (with the BAF piece) will be the more recent version shown
