McFarlane DC Multiverse BLACKEST NIGHT BAF WAVE

MandaVran · 04-14-2022, 06:07 PM

the Black Lanterns have arrived

RodimusZX · 04-14-2022, 07:59 PM

Honestly can't believe so many people are excited about these... me personally, I hate zombies. And I always feel EXTRA frustrated when Todd does something like this where he just announced the DC Direct wave, and then announces zombie, and another zombie, and probably more zombies in Multiverse.

The dude has no chill or self restraint. I just wish he could do a 50/50 balance of normal characters to weirdo versions. So many basic characters that we just want a plastic representation of for crying out loud. Then, he can go ultra deep on every single alternate bastardization of Batman that's out there...

Not much he can do about those DC Direct figures, he's just helping DC unload merch that was already manufactured before AT&T closed DC Direct.

In fact, if you look on his website, he's been clearancing leftover DC inventory for the past couple of months.

Yeah, I mean, I know it's probably more coincidence than intentional, but as someone who is jonesing for the next "regular" DC character reveal, I just feel like I'm being pummeled with zombie shit that not only do I not want at all I don't even like seeing it come up in the feed... it's gross.

Sigh. Was getting psyched for Black Adam at least, but now that that's delayed, they'll almost certainly push back the toyline too.

Couldn't care less about the Black Lanterns I just want to see if they're doing something with Atrocitus. Honestly I think he should be a slightly bigger figure and not the BAF. That should be Nekron.

Awesome more Zombies for my undead horde or lantern shelf .That supermans looking creepy .
Different strokes for different folks. Plenty of Mcfarlane figures I dont buy. I move along ,buy content where my interests lean towards .
I like all the evil lanterns looks, designs, concepts . so whatever Black ,Yellow and Red lanterns that get made ill be super happy .

Boogieman4hire · 04-15-2022, 12:27 PM

The Batman is kind of tame. I really regret not getting the Dc Direct one now. But that Superman is really badass and I now intend to either do as I originally planned or have Ash Williams beat his ass with a Kryptonite chainsaw.

Could double as the CW Deathstorm that just appeared in The Flash too. Not quite the same but close enough.

EvilMonkeyPope · 04-17-2022, 03:07 AM

He looks like he has too much texture.

This was a pretty big event that saw the return of Aquaman proper(despite giving Tempest a "I'm gonna be king" moment"), Ronnie, Martian Manhunter in updated garb, and some other nice status quo changes.

Then they killed Roy Harpers kid(showing they learned nothing from Identity Crisis), ruined the Justice League, ruined the Marvels, Made some sense of the Hawk people, made Professor Zoom relevant again, and then Flashpoint.

Okay I got sidetracked, it was a popular event. It's not like Dark nights metal which was give WAY WAY WAY too many figures in this line. Then mix in the Infected bits with Shazam(no one wanted King Shazam) and Superman(great body but we have yet to get it in the proper colors).

I would like the line to introduce normal looks alongside a weird look. Why would I want an alt evil edgy side eye look without the normal version to contrast against.

You own Retro Spider-man and Symbiote Spider-man. You don't intentionally own just Symbiote.

Pretty accurate to the source. He wasn't just Firestorm in a dark outfit. He looked like his suit was actual decaying muscle. I'd say my slight issue is that the head looks like someone is wearing a mask vs it looking like well Ghostrider or ghostwriter with a body.

Most of the art from from Blackest Night has him in a pristine suit with the skull head.

Well. That’s sexy as hell!

One of the best looking figures I’ve ever seen.

That's gonna be an instant purchase for me!

jscott991 · 04-18-2022, 11:33 AM

I hate Zombies and the Blackest Night storyline (mostly for what happened to Hawk), but I really hope we get a Dove out of this.

She's one of my favorite characters and she hardly ever gets action figures made. In Blackest Night, they finally got her costume right and I'd love to get that version.

Atomsmasher · 04-18-2022, 12:50 PM

That's a great looking figure. Want to see the baf before i decide on the wave.

BBManik · 04-18-2022, 02:36 PM

I haven’t really cared about anything Todd’s produced since he got the DC license, but that Kyle is gonna be an instant purchase for me. Looks fantastic.

snake5289 · 04-18-2022, 03:24 PM

Guess I'm the odd man out on this one since I've never really cared for Kyle.
