The Wonder Woman looks good but I'm worried that the NFT/digital bonus crap will drive up the price.

50 bucks plus just watch.

Blasphemy! Uma thurman was HOT in that outfit!. Could done without 5he nips on robins suit. Just creepy.

[Zigerlion]

A lot of us like the Uma Thurman Ivy, I'm sure other versions of Ivy will come eventually.

Been wanting McFarlane to give Bale Batman 2.0 a soft goods cape for a long time, but I have to order that set to get him instead of single releases. Hope The action figure and cape cane allow for gliding poses.

FYI Guys Hawkman Firestorm and Sinestro are part of that Collector's Line bullshit

Yeah, he's muttering something that sounds like,"We're gonna go under!" on a loop, rocking around in the fetal position.

I feel sick in my stomach when I see NFT and I dunno why. I don’t even know what NFT is supposed to do. Can anyone explain what NFT is to me like I’m a second grader?

So One Wonder Woman comes with an NFT with her Classic Silver Age look. Than the Batman Aquman and Wonder Woman come with NFT picture of Starro. I think

[snake5289]

I think the bare minimum explanation is that it's a scam. That's what I got out of it anyway.

JFC on a pogo stick. Looks like my purchasing hiatus of mcfarlane figures has been extended to a permanent vacation.

[ThorOdinson123]

I hope Black Lightning is Target exclusive.

Y'know that old scam of the guy who would "sell people the Brooklyn Bridge", or more accurately, a certificate saying they owned it that wasn't actually backed by anything at all? Or more recently, those sites where you could pay to "get a star named after you", but of course it was bullshit and no actual official body was recognizing it?

Imagine that but it's also a "bigger fool" investment scam where the objects being ostensibly bought and sold are art/collectibles (usually randomly-generated and very bad looking), trying to get around the inherent lack of intrinsic "collectibility" of digital goods due to infinite duplicability and thus no scarcity by tying it to a special digital certificate that is the thing you're actually buying, but that "certificate" is basically just a link to the image and the link will most likely be dead within a year or two as the site hosting it goes under, and also the system it works on is insanely energy-hungry by its very nature.

The NFT/crypto market already crashed back in 2022, so it's baffling that anyone's still trying to make NFTs happen these days. Except Todd, it makes sense Todd would still be trying to push 'em. He's that kind of dope.

Classic Wonder Woman and Supergirl look fantastic!!

With a little head-swap, Umma's Ivy could be a pretty nice placeholder until McFarlane gets around to a proper comic version.

Really hope a Pfeiffer Catwoman is in the pipeline!

That explanation is perfect perfection.

Well. Never did I think the Schumacher films would get representation. This Comic-Con has been glorious.

My gut feeling is that if McFarlane/WBD went this far to get the likeness rights for 5 actors from the most hated Batman movie, then they want to make figures from all of the Batman movies.

I see it breaking down as:
Batman Forever - Sonar Suit Batman, Robin, Riddler, Two-Face, Two-Face Goon BAF
Batman Returns - Batman, Catwoman, Max Shriek, penguin with rocket on back, Penguin BAF

McFarlane could even make the yellow duck buggy that Penguin drives.

Getting Jack Nicholson’s likeness rights is expensive so they may skip an 89 wave.

They don't all have to be BAF waves either, most of the line aren't the collect-to-build assortments. Black Adam, The Batman, and the Snyder cut all got their figures out through standard releases and megafigs.

Fucking hell, Todd. NFTs? Maybe he can team up with Square Enix to find a way to combine crypto scams.

Speak for yourself. Uma Ivy is a queer icon, so this was a pleasant surprise for me. Would prefer a comic version still.

Ditto, but I also see it as testing the waters to see if more comprehensive lineups of figures from older media will actually sell before snagging the likely much more expensive likeness rights for the other movies' stars. If B&R can sell, it's pretty much guaranteed that any of the movies will.

Ooh, realistic wishlists? If they stick with the BAF waves, I think it'd be something like:

• Forever - Panther Batman (using most of the Clooney tooling), Robin, suited Riddler, Chase (she's name-dropped on the card bio), Two-Face BAF
• Returns - Batman, Catwoman, Penguin, tattered Catwoman, Circus Strongman BAF
• '89 - Batman, Joker, Bob, Vicki (also mentioned on the card), and Lawrence or Belltower Goon BAF

From outside appearances, anything '89 Batman has been selling cartoonishly well, to the extent they need to put out press releases to assure people more is coming. I can't think of any other time they've done that, no matter the level of fan outcry, so I can't see them leaving that kind of money on the table.

Joker could get his own string of individual exclusive releases outside of the wave to pay for the likeness rights. Considering that even something as striking as the Uncle Bingo costume is literally his normal outfit in B&W with a new hat, it would be cheap cheap cheap to pull a Malibu Stacy and pump out versions across a boatload of retailers to get a healthy return on the likeness and tooling investment, all essentially prepaid.

Off the top of my head:

• standard outfit
• coat and hat from the parade
• standard outfit w/ beret & flesh makeup head
• standard outfit w/ beret & melted makeup head
• standard outfit w/ bloodied head & glasses
• mobster suit w/ flesh makeup head
• mobster suit w/ Napier head
• coat and hat w/ Napier head
• "Uncle Bingo"

There are more costumes but pretty much all of those use the same lower body, and most use the same upper body with different overlays. If they decided to commit, they could make a lot of figures with mostly shared tooling.
