You've seen the arkham wave? I havent seen a figure at retail let alone of catwoman. Would buy the whole wave.

Movie catwoman however like Harley Quinn are terrible examples as they are not based on any comic look. I definitely would have bought the invasion Harley for the injustice shelf.

You mean like Knightfall AzBat and Classic Barry Allan?

I've seen far too many peg-warming Harley Quinns and Arkham/The Batman Catwoman figures to buy that explanation.

Ah yes, the old "who are you going to believe: me or your lying eyes?" argument.

Super 7 produces their figures on a made-to-order basis, don't they? As for NECA, I can't imagine that anyone who would buy Gargoyles figures in the first place wouldn't purchase Elisa, Demona and Angela.

You really need to step back and take a moment to appreciate that you guys are promulgating a paranoid conspiracy theory that Todd McFarlane just hates money for some reason.

You and me both, buddy.

Oh a Batman figure that fans have been clamoring for and an A list DC character that no one even brought up that totally proves girl figures don't sell /sarcasm. Not surprised you're trying to move the goal posts, but YOU were justifying Mcfarlane making C-D list male characters like Ted Kord,Captain Atom,Booster Gold and Firestorm while insisting that "girl toys" don't sell outside the popular ones which as was pointed out is the same case for male figures.

But the issue is Mcfarlane didn't say that less popular characters don't sell which is something no one here is arguing anyway, he made it a gender issue and youtube neckbearded dinosaurs have to twist themselves into pretzels with ridiculous conspiracy theories to justify it when every other toy maker on Earth doesn't have an issue selling "girl toys".

Mattel has no issue selling Becky Lynch and Teela action figures.

Hasbro has no issue selling Arcee, Scarlett, Ahsoka and Black Widow figures.

Bandai has no problem selling Android 18 and pink Gundam figures.

Playmates and Super 7 have no problem selling April O'Neil.

and Neca has no issue selling female Gargoyle or Monster toys.

So empirically female toys do sell and Mcfarlane is wrong.

And my Walmart has an entire endcap filled with nothing but Batman figures so Batman toys don't sell.

Does that sound just as stupid to you as it does me? Good.


No they aren't crowdfunding their toyline like Mythic Legions do AFAIK.

And DC fans won't buy Zatanna,Black Canary,Huntress etc?

Do you people not even bother reading what you write and see how hollow and flimsy your sexist arguments are before you make them?

And it's not a paranoid conspiracy theory when Mcfarlane himself flat out said it.

Insisting that billion dollar corporations are driving themselves into debt to fight a culture war that only neckbeards on youtube care about is though.

I don't think he even knows what he's arguing.

He says that characters like Zatanna and Black Canary are too obscure to get figures but then tries to justify Mcfarlane making toys of obscure male characters like Booster Gold and Firestorm while Best Buy couldn't keep Classic Wonder Woman restocked for a day and Knightfall Catwoman never got a restock.

And we still haven't gotten a classic Kara Zor-El or Linda Danvers Supergirl but Mcfarlane will give us random shit like Abyss that's currently clogging Walmart/Books A Million's shelves and a barefoot action figure of himself.

Hell, I'm pretty sure a Shayera Hol Hawkgirl would outsell that shit just based on nostalgia for the 2000s Justice League cartoons. Let alone DC's A-list female heroes like Wonder Woman,Catwoman,Harley Quinn,Batgirl and Supergirl.

I'd also like to mention that the OTHER DC Comics toy licensee Spin Master has no issue making figures of Wonder Woman,Batgirl,Harley Quinn and Catwoman in both 4" and 12" scale despite them being "kids toys".

If Spin Master can sell female superheroes to little boys who still think "girls have cooties" then what the hell is Todd's excuse?

Holy shit it's happening my days of waiting to complete my 90s era shelf are coming to a close! Just need a Tim Drake on a teen body and an actually good mullet Superman and I'll be set. It's been a wild ride waiting for these had to sit through WAY too much dark knights metal to get to these but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nice, that's the 90s Aquaman I grew up with.

[Comedian]

Oh man…felling the 90’s with Aquaman. I still have my Kenner total justice set.

[HoovenIV]

That's the best Aquaman. Peter David in the house.

[firmpulse]

Man that's a great looking figure. SOLID headsculpt too. I still want the blue water camo suit. It's my favorite. Because I'm insane.

[hasbroherofan]

This and Aquaman are speaking my language. The Morrison/Porter JLA is the GOAT Justice League run.

[BLACKBAT18]

superman blue looks sweet, no doubt we'll see the red one as a chase

[ThorOdinson123]

Batman John Stewart GL and the Plastic Man BAF will be revealed tomorrow

Dear lord. Superman blue! Yes please. Gotta have red as well.

[EvilMonkeyPope]

Todd didn't sculpt the scales down Aquaman's pants? That's ridiculous!

Well he hasn't sculpted any of his companys toys...sooo

[jayvee]

Superman blue. Yes. Must buy.

Someone else can have my Aquaman (what is this, #8 or #9 from McToys on the Ackwaman?), I'm just not a completist.
