This week, McFarlane Toys takes the spotlight with the launch of new figures and reissued fan favorites from their extensive DC offerings.
This week has been dominated by activity from McFarlane Toys, as the brand continues to expand its DC Multiverse line with both new releases and reissues, offering something for collectors at all levels of engagement.
New Additions: Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns
The latest drop into the cosmic DC realm by McFarlane Toys features a Gold Label release of Atrocitus and the Red Lantern Corps set. As reported by DCCollectors, this is not just a reissue but a significant expansion for collectors of the cosmic corner of Todd McFarlane’s DC Multiverse. Priced at $79.99, the 2-pack includes the massive Atrocitus Mega-Fig, a Red Lantern Corps member, and the beloved miniature Dex-Starr. In addition, the set offers collectors multiple alien head sculpts, adding a level of customizability. For those who missed the Blackest Night BAF wave, this is a noteworthy catch.
Revisiting the Past: Deathstroke Arkham Origins Reissue
In a move that will excite those who either joined the collecting scene later or simply missed out, McFarlane Toys is reissuing the DC Multiverse Deathstroke figure from the Batman: Arkham Origins game. This news was confirmed via a post on their social media channels, reviewed by DCCollectors. Slated for release on August 26th and available for pre-order soon, this figure offers fans a second chance at acquiring Slade Wilson’s tactical look which has been highly sought after in secondary markets. Originally part of the 2020 Wave 3, this reissue aims to satisfy the sustained demand without the inflated resale prices.
Nostalgia Returns in Super Powers Wave 14
Rounding out the week’s offerings is the McFarlane Toys Super Powers Wave 14. This exclusive six-figure set launched with Entertainment Earth, pays homage to the 1980s Kenner toy line, and has been extensively reviewed by DCCollectors. The set consists of a balanced mix of iconic characters and lesser-known figures that enrich the nostalgic collection. McFarlane’s effort in reviving the charm of these vintage figures sees a focus not only on the character roster but also on the detail in paint and presentation, making it a potentially valuable addition for those fond of retro lines.
Overall, McFarlane Toys seems committed to maintaining its foothold in the DC action figure market, catering to both contemporary collectors and those with a nostalgia for past eras, making this week notable for the breadth of collectible releases and reissues they have on offer.
