The new toys look great. It seems like it's really hard to keep up with Mcfarlane's pace.

Congratulations on the new and beautiful toys added to the collection.

By the way, your new profile picture looks nice. A joker from the old times

Yes, it is almost a full-time job to keep track of all his releases.

I figured almost a decade as an ape with a gun was long enough. Silver age Joker is my favourite. Thanks!

I know there's been a lot of discussions about McFarlane losing the DC license. It'll be interesting to see how that will affect your collection in 2026.

There can never be enough apes with guns.

Hahaha. I've actually been thinking about changing my profile photo for a long time, but I'm undecided. I guess Freddy Krueger won't allow it.

After you mentioned it, I did some research on this subject. Yes, there is a lot of discussion about this subject. So, did Mattel completely buy all the rights to DC? So what will be the process if another company wants to produce any Batman figure like they do now?

I also wonder what kind of figures Mattel will make. This could be a positive situation for both children and collectors. Mattel has a very large distribution network around the world and maybe we can see figures at cheaper prices?

I have been halfway joking for a couple years now that I wouldn't be too upset if McFarlane lost the license because I need a little break. Supposedly, they will continue with the license until mid '26 and then still be able to do some DC stuff following that. I'm guessing under the DC Direct banner. They have been cranking out around 250 releases a year, so I will definitely be completely out of room by next summer. I'm hoping Mattel's stuff is trash so I can pretty much quit collecting by that point, save for a few imports and NECA stuff.

This is of course sad and worrying, especially for those who collect Mcfarlane Toys products.

If this situation is confirmed and all rights are transferred to Mattel, I still prefer to be hopeful. Prices need to go down and quality figures need to emerge.

My guess is that Mcfarlane Toys may innovate in the number of licenses, perhaps by taking inspiration from the old times.

Neca, on the other hand, is continuing on its usual path. However, I still think it needs to increase the number of licenses. For example, I expect a Mr. Bean from Neca. Also, they used to make very good figures in the game sector, but they don't anymore. Jada Toys and Spinmaster are filling this gap a bit.

Thank you. I'm having trouble deciding if I want to open the Super Hero costumed kids.

The boxes and the design on them are really amazing. If you have enough space on your shelf to display them all, you can make a nice display.

I wanted Jade, but was too late. By the time I saw the link on Gamestop she was already sold out. Another one that I missed. This became the place where I go to see all the figures I missed. Ha!

veryfigurefan · 05-09-2025, 01:29 PM

Wow, the whole series in one place. It's great to be able to get them all. Great additions to the collection. Good week for you. Congrats.

Congrats, that Classic Deadshot looks really good.

My Mafex Superboy arrived 1 hour ago or something btw. Mafex did a fine job with this one as well.

That Deadshot is a great figure. I love it.

Cyclopswc · 05-18-2025, 05:16 AM

So you got the chase colored figures before you got the regular colored figures?

Yessir. Took McF a long time to ship the wave out. Seeing them in stores for a couple weeks was killing me.
