First up - Video Game figs:

DC Multiverse Arkham Mega Gallery – Arkham Knight Batman, Origins Deathstroke, Chase Figures and More!

[Dmar1994]

The Arkham Knight Batman looks better in my opinion then the Arkham Asylum Batman. Only issue I have is they didn't paint the ab armor grey also still no alternative hands and no grapnel gun.

Which the photo you took posing the Arkham Knight Batman which is photo 8 isn't the grapnel gun so you know. That's the explosive gel gun which idk why they gave this figure that instead of his grapnel gun.

[Tony_Bacala]

Agreed, not perfect on the specifics but overall these latest two are way better than the first 2. I can see repaints with proper paint blocking and additional proper weapons down the road. AK Batman would look great with a metallic / sheen paint job for example.

That Deathstroke looks like a pure winner.

[SpasticPlastic]

The gold variants are killing me. Thinking I might have to skip a mortgage payment and get them on eBay.

I have him. The only thing thats stupid about it is he has a gun hand but a stupid molded pistol in holster otherwise he is bad ass.

Round two - comic themed - is up today:

DC Multiverse Comics Mega Gallery – Flashpoint Batman, New 52 Red Hood, White Knight Azrael, Rebirth Flash and More!

[Harbinger]

I am so getting red hood. Todd is one of my favorite characters. And the Tom Wayne Batman is great. I have yet to open him as i am rearranging my shelves but I so looking forwards to it.

Does cyborg have butterfly joints? Getting him soon and hoping for the rest of the animated titans lineup

[IzzyTipsy]

Love Batman and Superman, but as you can see, Flash looks way too much of a toy. His pin holes look very noticeable for some reason.

Unsure why McFarlane can't go "pinless" ala Hasbro. Then again, just adding any articulation must be driving Todd insane.

He does not. Articulation is more simple on the Animated figure so far.

I think this Flash is in line with the 1000 Bats/Supes. All 3 have that thick torso cut that isn't flush.

The pins are a bit more depressed than normal. And, he has extra holes in arms and legs for the lightning effects to plug into. Personally, I don't mind cuts and pins, ball joints and butterfly joints etc, so long as they try to minimize them. On these spandex-esque suits tho it's hard.

Hasbro is going pinless, but even they are slow fading into it, not the standard yet. Will take a while I'd guess for everyone else to catch up. With how much McFarlane seems to not like breaking visuals I'd assume they'd be all over it tho.

I utterly hate pinless because it makes it hard to fix and swap. It also makes customizing a bigger pain in the ass.i hope mcfarlane never goes pinless as hasbros move to do has me buying a helluva lot less legends.

Does anyone know where I can pick up that red hood?

Looks like the single hasn't been solicited yet fully. These were provided by McFarlane so looks like I got it a bit early.

He's listed as "Coming Soon"

https://mcfarlane.com/toys/brands/dc-multiverse/

The Two Pack is listed at Target and Gamestop for early next year drop, but can't be ordered right now.

[littlewolvie]

The only thing that bothers me is the lack of accessories for Deathstroke. No gun, no rifle, no staff... just a flimsy katana. And the gun that's strapped to the belt is really annoying (Hasbro did the same with the recent Marvel Legends movie Deadpool).

[Tony_Bacala]

Our Metals set is up!

DC Multiverse Metal Mega Gallery – Robin Crow, The Merciless, Metal Batman, Infected Superman and More!

[IzzyTipsy]

Have to admit they look nice but man am I annoyed Merciless isn't a single pack figure. Hate having to pay $30-$40 at Target for each of the four figures. Why the mark-up, Todd? Hasbro doesn't mark up Marvel Legends because of a BAF.

Really bad because for people wanting to army build Robins you have to pay up. Army builders should NEVER be more expensive than the regular figures in the line.

[Dragasses]

that crow decapitation pic is intense.

I think the retail for the CTB figures were originally 24.99. So more than the 19.99 standard, but not unreasonable IMO. Comes out to an additional 20 bucks for the 5th figure, so all 5 average to 20 each.

They are all selling out at the first round of pre-order sites, and 3rd party sellers are bumping up prices.

BBTS and others still have the wave at retail, with preorder status right now tho.

Thanks, had some fun with that one. I love shooting creepy moody s***.

I'm holding the full team line up shots until the Drowned gets here.

[snake5289]

If they make a regular Superman using the infected version I'd pick one up. Major improvement over the first one.

Agreed. I'd take what that digibash shows - 1000 head, traditional colors, and maybe a non-tattered cape. I still don't have "The Superman" that I feel is perfect, from all lines going back 10+ years. That however, would be pretty damn close.

[snake5289]

Preferably a non-torn cape yes. Or maybe both. That'd work too.

Honestly I'd be down for a figure of CW Superman in his new suit. Looks pretty good.

[ThorOdinson123]

Here's hoping Constantine (Comic or CW version) and Swamp Thing might get a figure or 2021 I need some occult non batman superman ww figures please.

[DarkEyes]

Reissue? Damn, this figure was released a few months ago and we're talking about a reissue?

This makes me wonder about the Snyder's Cut Justice League figures and particularly with all the situation about the Snyderverse. A scalper dream!
