McFarlane's DC Multiverse Appreciation Thread

Designincase · 01-07-2022, 10:49 PM

Got Year 2 in on Thursday

Generally I am positive.
My figure didn't come with broken arms by the right leg has a little gap

Which confuses my on my it's constructed in such a way. Why not just make it a point of articulation vs slotting in how it does.

It's so frustrating that two closed fists aren't just standard. The only item that can be held fits inside the "clawed" hands. Mcfarlane should take the hand here and make it a standard for all the guys if they wear gloves as a pair.

I really like the cape and it would be terrific is all capes were removable and not glued in. I like the material they used here. Short of adding a wire, it really does the job. in draping over. If the figure had more articulation this cape would really enhance the figure. Otherwise it doesn't feel like a cheap cloth cape you might see Hasbro and Mattel use.

The body is very similar to the Infected Superman body. Clearly this came from the same model before it added the Superman designs. But it's still an all new mold.

Really looking at it, you got a solid entry into making a comic JL team.

If they did make this figure in black with a black cape and was a solo figure, I'd probably buy it again.

------

The base, it's alright. It has some nice detail and thought out.
If you made a Batman display, the cape at least would be your center.
But it's very much a statue centerpiece.

Sigh... my Year 2 Batman finally arrived and both arms broke within seconds of taking them out of the box...

Edit... and now part of the cloth cape has come away from the plastic clip

I found this on Reddit tonight and thought it looked pretty good.

Looks good but the head is still way too tiny.

I got a shipping notification from Amazon for my 3J Batman! It says that it should arrive on Tuesday but I’m not sure it’ll make that date due to the weather.

You should be fine. Hell trucks can just slide on the roads…save gas.

Nice!

How'd you get the helmet so shiny? And what gun are you using?

Bo Ttef · 01-17-2022, 04:23 PM

I used a MOLOTOW liquid chrome pen on the helmet. Not sure about the gun- it was in my accessory guns bag... based on its size it might have come with a McFarlane Fortnite figure...

I sold my Mezco Previews Exclusive Deathstroke about a month or two ago but I bought a second McFarlane Deathstroke to customize as it's replacement. I finally finished my custom tonight.

The Mezco Deathstroke that inspired this custom. Some of the details are different between the two but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

SpasticPlastic · 01-21-2022, 08:25 AM

Looks great! Much better than the Mezco.

deecee4 · 01-27-2022, 09:34 AM

Is there any word on Vigilante from the Peacemaker show?

Not that I can remember. @BarbaraGordon keeps another thread up to date with releases and rumored figures. You might check that.

BarbaraGordon · 01-27-2022, 10:33 PM

I kinda feel bad for this one. It's actually really nice, but a Target near me still has 8 of them.

I asked but got ignored so whatever but I'm sure that has to be happening at some point in the next couple of months.

deecee4 · 01-28-2022, 03:50 PM

Just got Peacemaker today. Something seems off with the leg articulation but otherwise great figure.

Designincase · 02-02-2022, 12:52 PM

Three Jokers wave sans The Criminal. I don't need that many Jokers.
I think it's a solid enough wave with minimal hiccups.

jwyss234 · 02-02-2022, 01:05 PM

What pistols are you using with the 3J Red Hood?

They look like those valaverse d.eagles.

So, no joke, but DC Comics just announced a "Jurassic League" limited series, in which the characters are human/dinosaur hybrids.

Wonder if McF is already working on the protos for a wave.

EternianJerkian · 02-03-2022, 04:28 PM

I'm about to go to bed as it's nearly midnight here in blighty but I feel like if that Jurassic League imagery is the last thing on my mind I'm going to have some freaky weird dreams lol.
