I think Elainna Grayson (Batwoman Beyond) looks great! She should come with a flying stand, though, if they're going to include jet flames.
This Blight also looks better than the BAF version. Kinda surprised an Unmasked Terry McGinnis hasn't been rumored since they already did Unmasked Shriek and Elainna Grayson.

Weak. I thought this was going to be about new figures like a REAL Inque or Spellbinder.

Unless Toddy Mac is gonna start releasing multiple faceplate per figure, or begin to incorporate moving eyes for some reason...the "side eye" look needs to go away permanently. It's so unappealing and specific, especially considering that this headsculpt is largely neutral in nature. |

Inque as Batman Beyond (previously available only at Target) - Why did they not include an Inque head or other accessories this time?
Batwoman and Blight were also Target exclusives before but got something new for this release... seriously weird?!

Check out the Master List I created: https://www.toyark.com/master-list-m...es-etc-187280/ Masked Shriek was part of the same Target-exclusive BAF wave before Unmasked Shriek went retail wide. Masked Thomas Wayne Batman was a Target exclusive, and then everyone else got Unmasked Thomas Wayne. Everyone got Death Metal Batman as part of a BAF wave, and Target also got the same figure with purple cape lining without the BAF piece as an exclusive. Everyone got Last Knight on Earth Wonder Woman as part of a BAF wave, and Target got a Fate helmet Wonder Woman without the BAF piece as an exclusive.

Well we saw the same thing with Batman and Shriek. Target get an exclusive with the BAF parts. Then the wide release was a different head without the BAF parts. Are these releases a surprise? No Is it still consumer unfriendly? Yes |

Yes, I'm not saying it's Weird that McFarlane is re-putting the figures back out, outside the Target exclusive BAF wave. What I was saying is strange is that usually means they do something different to the figure! a new head, new paint, something! And Inque got nothing new in this second, non-exclusive re-release. That Seems strange to me! It would have been great to have gotten an Inque head!

Why didn't Inque get a new head or accessories or something different in this second, wide release, like all the other figures do?

"I need to cut back on action figures. OOH! The new Blight looks even more like Atomic Skull, neither character I'm particularly attached to!"

Making this version was always a stretch. It's super duper loosely based on what happened. Clearly what's really desired is a proper Inque. What get's me is why Inque Batman doesn't use the blank mouth. |

If that head could fit on the old First Appearance Cassie Cain Batgirl figure, that'd make for an awesome unmasked Cassie head.

Unlike the others, I assume Inque BB was always meant for a wide release but circumstances made it exclusive to Target for a minute. It was never meant to be a new figure outside paint apps.

It would help if you people actually read comics, not just buy toys based on comics.

Also, while Todd's weird fascination with the side glance is growing increasingly annoying in general, here it's particularly egregious in the case of Elainna when she's flying. Let's hope she either really loves to fly in circles or never has to fly in a straight line. |

In this case, Inque had a mouth in the comics when impersonating Batman, so why would McF use the covered mouth of the BAF Batman Beyond? Makes no sense.

To me Batman Beyond is always first and foremost the cartoon. Which I think is what has led to disappointment for many. But even beyond that, let's face it - Inque as Batman Beyond is a cheap, lazy way for McFarlane to do (an actually comic accurate) repaint. 99.9% of people probably wanted Inque as Inque herself. And I'd KILL for a cartoon Blight in that suit! |

To be fair, I totally forget Batman Beyond comics exist. I tuned them out when Tim replaced Terry for some odd reason in the New 52.

Wanna bet that's when they make an Unmasked Inque as Batman Beyond?

I'm amazed we didn't get unmasked Terry as a variation yet.
Reusing parts is cool, and I have no problem with a repaint ala Reverse Flash. Hell, put Luthor's head on Platinum All For One, please! |
