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.

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...

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 ?????

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.

Adorais that Horde armor removable? Is there a classic Adora under there? That would be great if so, but Im surprised they arent showing that feature. Unless they did and I missed it.

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.

That's disappointing, as is the lack of a Batman '89 Joker to round out that cinematic series' villains.
A lot of companies stop short of Joker when they make Batman '89 figures. Jack has always notoriously demanded big bucks for his likeness rights. I get very surprised when companies like Beast Kingdom and Mezco have '89 Joker figures.
