There've been a lot of apologists and fanboys out there but I think people are catching on.....just because its got McFarlane's name, doesn't mean its a good product. I'll just say it- he flat dropped the ball on the Batman and Superman figures. I don't know if its because they figured its his name so fans will buy, or because its Batman/Superman and they're so well known, of COURSE they'll buy. But its not working. They have wonky articulation, awful looking torso/ab crunch designs, shrunken heads and don't get me started on the inability to pose the heads looking up. This is just not acceptable, given what we see on the Fortnite figures, Marvel Legends, etc. There are a number of kickstarter projects that have a better product than this McFarlane mess. The Hellbat and Superman armored figures are better, and all the figures I've seen thus far have really nice paint jobs, but that's about it.

Admittedly I wasnt buying these figures either so Im not personally heart broken over this. I just find it interesting.
They are working on more Harry Potter, just not showing anything new. GOT not sure. Back in Jan they indicated they still had more stuff coming but I did not specifically ask at Toy Fair. Harry Potter I did.

All I know is that I need all things Spawn
Hopefully the DOOM line is popular enough to warrant figures of the '93 game, I'd love a Doomguy and a Baron with a couple of Imps too. Sucks that GW is still trying to shove Primaris marines down everyone's throats because a normal marine would be an instant buy, especially the unpainted marine figure. I'd kill for a Dark Angels Space Marine....

Azrael and Spawn are definitely the stand outs from this showing. Now I'm reading that McFarlane wants to do a kickstarter crowdfunding thing for a Spawn line.

Oh yeah! That Spawn looks sick, definitely a must.
Excited for the White Knight figs, didn't think we'd get anything like that so soon. The Arkham figures look iffy.
