McFarlane Toys reveals additions to its DC Multiverse line and NECA celebrates Elvira's legacy with a new figure.
In the world of action figures, this week McFarlane Toys has unveiled new entries in its DC Multiverse line, including a series of figures and collectibles that draw from various corners of the Batman universe. McFarlane is set to release a Gold Label “Batman: Arkham City” figure, a full-scale Batman Beyond cowl, and Batman and Nightwing figures under the “Page Punchers” sub-line, which will be available for pre-order later today. While details are sparse beyond the announced figures, enthusiasts can expect these releases to expand on McFarlane’s ongoing commitment to cater to fans of the Batman franchise, offering products that appeal across various collector niches, from comic-inspired designs to deep-dive video game homages. For more details, check out the full report from The Toyark.
Moving away from the sometimes overwhelming Batman releases, NECA has marked the anniversary of Elvira with a new 7 inch scale “Ultimate Elvira” figure. Released in celebration of both Cassandra Peterson’s birthday and Elvira’s 45-year legacy in horror and pop culture, this toy is based on the character’s appearance in the 1988 film “Elvira: Mistress of the Dark.” The figure not only serves as a throwback for nostalgic collectors but also positions Elvira as a staple of horror-themed collectibles. The figure’s announcement was covered by The Toyark.
In retail news, Big Bad Toy Store has rolled out its latest newsletter filled with updates on new and upcoming releases. While this includes a broad range of categories from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” to “Transformers” and “Nendoroids,” one highlight is the ongoing sale on DC figures, providing collectors a chance to grab offerings from major franchises at a discounted rate. Though a newsletter from a major toy retailer source like BBTS can sometimes include a mix of genuine updates and promotional content, the emphasis on a wide range of brands and price points suggests a deliberate push to meet the diverse interests within the collector community.
