I don't know what King Shazam is, but my Walmarts have like 10 Joker looking Robins on their pegs along with a few Batmans and Supermans.

Other pegwarmers include Batgirl, the first Joker they did, helmetless Shriek, helmetless Peacemaker, Hawk Girl Wonder Woman cosplay, Wonder Woman 84, Blight, a really grundgy looking Superman, and JLU Flash.

The "Joker looking Robins" have been sought-after items for months (unless you're referring to Jokerized Nightwing, but even he's scarce these days).

Another issue is how bad some of the figures are proportionately. Like my stores have a Flash figure that looks like he is Bane wearing a Flash costume due to how large his muscles are. Flash is not supposed to look like he is 400 pounds of muscle.

Fair enough, but honestly, I'm speaking for myself, not others.



Which is funny because any time I'm at a store and a parent is with their kid looking at a Legend or MacFarlane figure I often hear, "That toy is too expensive, go with one that is cheaper."

For some of these issues, if the WB/DC is unhappy. They could actually just step in and advise them to do something different.

If there's too many Batman figures - the WB can just tell Mcfarlane to use less Batman.

They're a company that likes money, and the unpleasant reality (at least to fans of other characters) is that he sells circles around every other DC property.

Also I like how Hasbro does their headsculpts more than any other company.

And those Batman 66 figures. My God those things haven't moved. They're literally falling on the floor they have so many in the "collectibles" section ear electronics. I counted thereabouts 15 each of Riddler, Batman, Robin, and Joker.

Target was doing fine here, even getting the new Three Jokers wave. Then the Todd Woman Apocalypse came.

Kind of like the Eternals sold when the movie came out, got replaced once by NWH, and now those are replaced with...Eternals.

Oy.
