McFarlane Toys 2023 Summer Showcase - NHL SportsPicks Figures, Plus Is Hasbro Done With Starting Lineup?

McFarlane Toys has kicked off their 2023 Summer Showcase event by posting a video from last month's SDCC McFarlane Toys panel where they announced the return of NHL SportsPicks figures to help celebrate next year's 30th Anniversary of the company. They showed off three prototype figures of NHL players Alexander Ovechkin (Washington Capitals), Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins) and Connor McDavid (Edmonton Oilers).

During SDCC it was also announced that McFarlane would be brining back NFL SportsPicks figures as well.



McFarlane Toys returning to sports figures might be an attempt to pick up the proverbial ball from Hasbro who seems to have lost interest in their Starting Lineup line that they re-launched last year which seems to have fallen flat likely due to the prices. Hasbro launched the line with NBA figures but had announced last October that they would be doing NFL figures as well. There has been no movement on that since then which makes us think the line has been canceled. We might hear more on that next month during Pulse-Con, but I doubt it.

McFarlane Toys has posted a snip-it from their SDCC panel about the next batch of Retro DC Super Powers products coming which includes a wave of 5" figures that includes Batman, Superman, Tim Drake Robin and Nightwing. They also showed a Flashpoint wave with Flash, Reverse Flash and Batman. For vehicles they showed the Whirly Bat. No word if any of these will be a Walmart exclusive or if these will be general releases.

McFarlane Toys has posted a video from their SDCC panel where they showed off the first look of their new Diablo IV 6" line. Like with their Warcraft line they talk about how the figures will have pieces that will allow you to build two different characters. The figures are listed as Posed PVC statues so doesnt look like they have much articulation. Also their will be a 12" figure.

They will also have regular window boxed figures and blind box figures which will include a super rare weapon

Blind Box is anti-consumer. It's gambling. It's design is to coerce those with compulsive tendencies into buying multiples and ending up with things they don't want for a chance to get something they may or may not have wanted in the first place depending on how strong their proclivity to gacha/gambling/blind-box tactics is.

McFarlane has done so much good for fans and kept prices reasonable and made amazing things, but he's also always been heavy on the "collectors edition/limited/chase" schtick... but blind boxes is too far. In my opinion, A buyer should have a right to see what they are buying.
