I'm depressed that these aren't 6 inch. Why McFarlane, why?

I’m a little disappointed that McFarlane didn’t use this costume for Harley.
Still, I’m pretty excited about King Shark though. I’ve been wanting a figure of him since I started watching the Harley Quinn animated series. |

ill get these because im a McFarlane dc completionist but im not loving them. I guess they look fine for what they will look like in the movie but the characters themselves are just not interesting to me at all. the only one id really like is Harley quinn but then I look at her left knee in the photo and want to vomit, it is not good. king shark looks dopey to me so no interest in the build a figure. hopefully the movie is actually good and will make me end up wanting the figures more.

King Shark is adorable!
If he gets a non BAF release, I must get him.

I'm kinda not liking these. They look flat our stupid, and that Harley Quinn looks like yet another random character instead of Harley Quinn.
DC's not wanting guns with their figures anymore is frigging hilarious. What's next - Joker doesn't kill and just hits people with some water from the flower on his lapel? Thank God Marvel doesn't seem to have this idiotic credo...yet. |

But do we have any hard sources on that or just speculation? Genuinely curious haha

Sounds like speculation but wouldn't be surprised if it was true. DC/WB have been run by morons for decades and that's why DC Comics is a very distant Number 2 and the WCW of the comic industry.

This from Prime1 studio:
https://www.prime1studio.com/dcmt-th...cmt-05exs.html And there's supposedly an interview with Mezco Toys out there which I cannot track down, in which they say products under a certain price cannot include guns and none of them cannot show guns in marketing material anymore. Which makes sense, Mezco had their Gaslight Batman without any guns and then suspiciously sold a "Victorian Vigilante Accessory Pack" under their household brand at the same time. Add that to the fact how recent figures that should include guns either don’t come with any or random swords now and... yeah.

So I’m guessing the second wave will be Amanda, HQ (2nd outfit), Rick Flagg, and Ratcatcher with a Starro BAF?

Gotta love how guns = bad, but selling figures to kids of rapists and mass murderers like Joker and company, etc. is A-OK! |

Baron Zemo is the most recent example. Which makes me wonder why McFarlane hasn't at least done the same, or if WB won't even let him get away with that compromise. Last edited by hasbroherofan; 06-03-2021 at 01:54 PM.. |

Hasbro's been substituting real guns for sci-fi blasters with their Marvel toys for a while now. It's not a total across the board thing yet and some figures still have realistic weapons (mostly movie figures), but it's something fans have been remarking on for the past several years.
Baron Zemo is the most recent example. Which makes me wonder why McFarlane hasn't at least done the same, or if WB won't even let him get away with that compromise. So odd because Black Widow comes with guns. Although I've noticed more figures of her are coming with the sticks instead of her guns. What's next - GI Joe's with no guns? Stormtroopers with no guns? LOL. |

Pretty sure a Punisher figure in the futyre will no longer include guns but sticks and swords "'cause triggering thin-skin people bad." |

Stormtroopers would presumably be fine since they don't use real guns anyway. |

Maybe that's why they introduced the Stormtrooper batons in The Force Awakens haha
