Super-DuperToyBox: McFarlane DC Dump

I’ve loved this Earth 2 Robin design since seeing it years ago; he teamed up with Huntress in a trade paperback I read, Dark Knight Daughter. He comes with an alternate head that looks like Green Lantern’s domino mask, but I prefer the full head mask. I am really enjoying the wired cloth capes McFarlane moved to.

I was really excited to see this Huntress solicited; she’s the modern version but makes a great partner with my Earth 2 Robin. The interchangeable face plates were a great idea, but I feel a different expression might have added some variety- these are all somewhat neutral. The base helps a great deal keeping the figure upright with her impossibly tiny, heeled feet.

I was slowly piecing this trio of villains together for the last year or so; I was glad to see some classic versions of Gotham City’s rouges’ gallery. I eagerly await the Two-Face I preordered!

McFarlane packed a lot of extra hands in with Riddler, doesn’t get much more classic than this.

This was the McFarlane Joker I was waiting for; it looks like it walked right out of the comics of my youth. Bronze-Age. Included are several extra hands, including holding cards and the laughing fish. 

I picked up this Super Powers variant of the McFarlane Collector’s Edition Penguin at a discount from an online seller because it’s damaged box, but I wanted to open him anyway. His card was damaged, but I don’t really take any special care of those anyway.

McFarlane included many sets of extra hands, a radio communicator, and batarang with this Adam West/Classic TV/’66 Batman. Love it! It would have been interesting to see an entire wave or two of ’66 Batman figures, but McFarlane was already filling that space with the 6″ Classic TV line.

I’m still waiting on my McFarlane ’89 Batman, but these two were a big part of my early childhood. I was six when Superman movie dropped, and ’66 Batman was in heavy syndication throughout the entirety of my youth, so I was excited to see them.

This figure came with two portraits that bear few obvious differences, though I prefer the version with the tighter spit curl. Chris Reeve is my Superman, so I was really happy to get this figure. Beautiful cape!

This was a fun group of McFarlane DC figures to bust out, I have several more Batman figures I need to post on. While I’ve had my gripes about McFarlane figures, including their pinchy joints, ball-jointed wrists and ankles, and inconsistent scale, I was surprised to hear they lost the license back to Mattel! I thought of it as a successful line and I’m sure I’ll pick up a few more on the way out this next year.

More Later- Make It FUN!
