It looks like most of the caped figures are plastic again. I don't know if it's the Tariffs, so that involves cost-cutting, but as nice as some of those figures look, I'm saving money because I'm not going back to plastic capes again. Those wired capes spoiled me.

If you're referring to Mcfarlane I think it's because they are all digital renders. I believe most will be wired capes. And I kind of recall hearing Mcfarlane in an interview actually say that it was cheaper to do the wired capes than make it full on plastic.

Damn... I never cared about Mondo MOTU before, they were cool but too large and too expensive. But Clawful never got a proper 200X MacFarlane toy - I have the Staction statue but an action figure would be great. I wonder how big an 1:12 toy is?

For 1/12 scale just think a 6 feet tall character will be 6 inches toy. 8ft character will be 8 inches toy. 10ft will be 10 inches. Etc. That is how it should be. Should be.. not always what happens unfortunately.

Strange that we are getting Bubble Man and Wood Man from the second game before we are getting Bomb and Guts Man. I think since those guys are bigger, they will be a new size class.

I am hoping Jada also continues the Altered Beast toys.

Shown below via MCUcollector24 are images of all the action figures on display at the Jada Toys booth at this past weekends WonderCon convention. Shown are figures for Street Fighter, Mega Man, Cereal Mascot, Scooby-Doo and Frosty The Snowman. Many of these figures are available at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth.

I told myself I wasnt gonna get played 2 versions, but that blue Guile might have to happen he looks so good.

I have yet to purchase any of Jada's items, but I really like what they're doing.

That frosty is really growing on me. Wonder if other christmas classics are coming

I know a lot of folks have gone ga-ga over the McFarlane presentation at WonderCon. Sadly, I was not moved by 95% of it. I had seen the Two-Face release already, but what struck me is the Kite Man figure. Here is a minor Batman villain getting released, while we're still waiting for a comics' based Poison Ivy, Ventriloquist w/ Scarface, Mad Hatter, & Scarecrow. All of these villains are top rogues in Batman's list of villains. McFarlane has had the DC license for 5 years now. Truly pathetic.

I did like the BATMAN RETURNS figures and hope we see an '89 BATMAN Joker, BATMAN & ROBIN Bane, & THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Ra's al Ghul & Talia al Ghul...but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm just dumbfounded by the last two B-A-F figures in the Batman Animated line: Bruce Wayne in a suit & Jonah Hex? The collectors want villains! If anyone from McFarlane would even take a casual glance at the BTAS message boards, they'd know the people that spend money want Hugo Strange, Clock King, Red Claw, & Rupert Throne. They'd like to complete their collections before McFarlane calls it a day. Heck, they have the of Talon prototype from DC Direct's presentation at the 2019 NY Comic Con which would be great. He's a villain!

Just like the BTAS line, collectors of the Batman '66 retro line were originally promised by Todd McFarlane himself that we'd get all of the TV show's villains. Now we're getting Super Friends? No thanks. We want Mad Hatter, False Face, Shame, Siren, Archer, Louie the Lilac, Black Widow, & Minstrel. Come on Todd, back up your promise to the fans.

If anyone at Mattel is reading this, I can assure you that if McFarlane doesn't deliver on these figures before their done, these figures are low hanging fruit for you to start your new releases for the begining of the DC license in mid-2026. You'll be building good will with the Batman collectors big time.

Where is joker?
