And to keep it on topic, and this will be the last one for the day, how did this figure get overlooked? It was contemporary, there was a mega movie (two of them, I guess). And there's a clear PE repaint on this one (although it kind of looks AI created). I mean, really, these things would sell themselves. OK. There I'm done for the day. Pics of 10 figures that I would buy. I will wait quietly all weekend. Maybe.

Certain…events over the last decade or so caused toy companies and their licensors (licensees?) to freak out and over-correct in terms of toys coming with firearms. Hell, I remember back in 2014, the movie-figure wave of Captain America Marvel Legends had Winter Soldier come with some weird, red, alien power-washer looking rifle. It seems Disney has more or less relaxed those restrictions, while WB is still fllip-flopping about it (odd, considering they put out a video game this year starring DC characters that all shoot enormous guns…).
