The McFarlane Toys Show Episode 3 Coverage

These are ugly as heck!

Were they serious? Even if it was free, it shouldn't be! (Of course, we're not all the same, so it might work for someone.)

he could have a lot of accessories (I know, no gun), but for example walkie talkie, nightstick, flashlight, binoculars, expandable baton, cell phone, megaphone, handcuffs, electric shock device (I can imagine him carrying a baseball bat in his car (Gotham is a very dangerous city) but that might be a bit much.) maybe a knife of some kind, but he could also have a hand holding a coffee cup (which he bought from a vending machine), a second version with protective glasses, a shirt with a collar and body armor (like when the police storm a building).Then I woke up:)

Sorry, it's been confirmed that while Jim Gordon will come with a multitude of accessories, he won't be able to do anything with them, because he will have an orange in his hand. When asked, McFarlane was quoted as saying "sometimes accessories are just so iconic, so completely attached to the identity and mythos of the character that it would be sacrilege to release a figure without it. That's when you stick an orange in their hand."

His other hand will be a finger-gun.

Well, some of them are good, Batman: Year One for example looks really good, a bit like DC Rebirth Batman, as if it was adapted from it, but it's good. I like this Croc a bit(Really just a bit.) better than the first version, Hawkgirl is pretty good too, Wonder Woman's body but still good. The Cowboy Batman is also quite interesting, built from Jonah Hex but OK. I've been saying for a long time that John Constantine's body should be made into a cool Jim Gordon, and there you go, he could have a lot of accessories (I know, no gun), but for example walkie talkie, nightstick, flashlight, binoculars, expandable baton, cell phone, megaphone, handcuffs, electric shock device (I can imagine him carrying a baseball bat in his car (Gotham is a very dangerous city) but that might be a bit much.) maybe a knife of some kind, but he could also have a hand holding a coffee cup (which he bought from a vending machine), a second version with protective glasses, a shirt with a collar and body armor (like when the police storm a building).Then I woke up:)

Seeing the BATMAN FOREVER Jim Carrey Riddler in his white suit & whacked out hair figure was a little unexpected, although it has been leaked by a number of sources that it might be coming this Spring. I hear it could be a chase figure, which really is a shame. I've been a fan of McFarlane, but this kind of move really is lousy. I do hope we get a BATMAN & ROBIN Uma Thurman Poison Ivy with double bee hive hair do & Bane 2-Pack. That would be nice since I've heard both have been sculpted already by McFarlane. The same for Catwoman & Penguin from BATMAN RETURNS.

Love the new Riddler. Wonder if well get a Panther suit Batman too.

might get that killer croc set as well.

Looking at that Riddler and BvS Alfred, I have to say I'm looking forward to Mattel using their True FX tech that they have for the WWE line on their DC product...

The whole thing is an ad, so of course they want you to watch the socials. That's all part of it. They gave general dates and saying very soon means the next 2-3 weeks historically. I've already found a third of the product shown at Toy Fair, so who knows?

Sure, it's an ad, but not for silly socials. I'm already looking at it through one of their social venues, one shouldn't have to get roped into an ouroboros of twitter, youtube and instagram in order to get concrete, useful information. Information is the primary reason I watch things like this, and as they were so thin with it, this will likely mark the first and last time I ever bother to sit through one of these. It certainly wasn't for the dynamic and engaging presentation.

At the end of the day, they've either got the goods or they've got a tease, and personally I have zero interest in the latter. But that's me.

I kind of like the sheen of the paint, but same, already swimming in Batmen and there's nothing particularly remarkable here that makes it stand out amongst them.

That's just it, that's kind of the appeal to me, he feels like the perfect, standard, grey and black, big black bat Bruce Wayne Batman, an improvement on the Hush Batman, who's a bit too big

Yeah, that stood out to me too, watching this. "this will be coming out sometime very soon," "this will be sometime in April," etc. It's like this was a 40 minute ad for us to follow their socials so we'd know when things actually drop.
