The M.A.S.K. stuff is pretty cool and I'm glad to see the property make a resurgence, but they're already a little on the expensive side for what they are, so I'm not so sure about getting into color variants and all that. The black and gold does pop, though, I gotta say.
It's M.A.S.K. Monday on a Tuesday and the Loyal Subjects got some big news.
As some of you learned during our SDCC panel, The Loyal Subjects will be releasing a full Wave 1 set of 40th Anniversary MA.S.K. vehicles and figures. Now you can get Condor, Thunderhawk, High Tech Helicopter and the re-released MDU in an eye-popping black and gold colorway. Head over to theloyalsuybjects.com on August 5th and claim yours!
Will there ever be 1/12 scale figures of the Batman 66 series with modern articulation?
It seems McFarlane doesnt plan on doing more than Batman himself. And I dont have much hope for Mattel to take another crack at it.
I really want a good 66 Batgirl.
The Cobra desert scorpion is a dope item from this line- probably my fav looking reveal from the GI Joe line.
Shown below is the new Hasbro G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Desert Scorpion & SKRP10N-25, Wet-Suit, Blaine Mainframe Parker, Grim Viper and Sci-Fi Figures are available for pre-order at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth.

21 hours ago, RobertD said:Wildly overpriced ($60) figures with the same standard McFarlane articulation, but with a decent paint job (generally). So far reserved for video game figures but it looks like they're going to start shifting highly desirable DC characters behind that inflated price while the getting is still good. You'd think they'd go nuts with the accessories and for McFarlane's standards that's probably the case, but the packages are generally about as robust as what you might expect from any other decent company.
In short, they're top tier McFarlane, but pretty much rip-offs when you stack them against to any other company's value-per-dollar offerings.
I'm saying this as someone who generally likes Mcfarlane's DC figures, but a "top-tier" Mcfarlane is not worth $60. Maybe if it's a two pack, with two full figures, or one regular figure and an over sized figure, but not one regular figure and one undersized one. No Mcfarlane Zatanna for me, I suppose.
Mondo is recapturing that excitement the old MOTU classics line had. I almost don't care how much they might cost... just a little bit scared.
As for McFarlane, I am very much enjoying the fire hose closeout for the DC license! If that Detective Chimp is a brick though, he shouldn't be allowed to make eye contact with Spero Toys staff for a year lol.

Whenever a company loses a license there are going to be holes. McFarlane is doing the toys for 2026 Supergirl, though, so some of these characters are likely to recur, perhaps in better (jacket-less) costumes.
I hadn't heard that McFarlane will be doing Supergirl merch - I figured that would cut over to Mattel what with the movie not coming out until late June and Mattel having announced they'll be selling product from 'mid-2026' and any crossover with Superman (2025) characters would be al the more reason to consider waiting to see what the big M does with their line. Guess we might see some of that at Toyfair next year, though even that might be too soon given movie secrecy...

McFarlane did Phoenix Joker and De Niro, so you'd think he'd find some way to get the job done, even if it was another stupidly expensive set. Especially when he was originally crowing that he could do 'whoever he wanted from anything DC' when he first got the DC license.

Like their Origins figures you can swap parts among the figures. These figures were on display at their SDCC booth. The figures shown include:
- He-Man- Prine Adam- Man-At-Arms- Stratos- Ram Man- Roboto- Zodac- Moss Man- Skeletor- Beast Man- Evil-Lynn- Tri-Klops- Clawful
I'm in for all this line guys ?????
Just now, RobertD said:Just by looking at it, there's no doubt that armor is removable. That's what they've been doing with Masterverse stuff lately, the armor is designed to be removable and she's definitely wearing an old-school Adora outfit under there. I'm definitely getting two.
It's definitely removable. All the NE figures that come with extra bits can be turned into their classic versions by taking stuff off. It dates back to the first two, Barbarian He-Man and Skeletor. That latter is still the best Masterverse Skeletor wearing his classic outfit.
