Starting off a series of mega galleries for recent McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse figures today here at Toyark. 2020 kicked off the line with a bang, then it slowed a bit, but late 2020 has been very busy for DC Multiverse. And the figures have been getting better and better each round! Over the next couple days, we’ll be sharing in depth galleries for 22 different Multiverse figures that recently released or will be soon.
To kick things off, we are doing a set all around the video game figures. Multiverse has jumped in on the Arkham era, with figures from Asylum, Knight and Origins.  There are now 8, including variants and chases. Inside we have shots for Arkham Knight Batman, Arkham Origins Deathstroke, Chases for each of those, Arkham Asylum Batman and Joker in a 2 pack with green Titan(?) compound all over them, and a Bronze Chase for Asylum Batman to match the previously released Joker one.
All in all they are very solid pieces, offering updates to the DC Collectibles releases from years ago. Knight Batman and Origins Deathstroke being the stars here so far. Read on for some additional thoughts and over 90 HD images of them courtesy of McFarlane Toys!
Stay tuned to Toyark over the next week or so for Comic and Metals themed galleries, we’ll have hundreds of more shots for you soon!
Overall Thoughts
When we saw Asylum Joker and Batman at Toy Fair 2020 (man that seems like forever ago now) I was like “cool, but…” did we really need those right now. However, with the DC Collectibles figures getting up there in age, and there being a new game in that universe dropping soon, it makes sense.
Arkham Knight is one of my favorite looks for Batman, and I enjoyed the game (aside from those damn Riddler challenges).  The DC Collectibles one (see our gallery here) was ok, but I felt it was a bit skinny/tall. This one ups the sculpting, and proportion things a bit better. This also improves upon the Asylum version with double jointed everything and nice shoulder range. The legs are a tad limited due to engineering but it’s not a deal breaker.
Origins Deathstroke is also another really solid offering. Sculpt is phenomenal head to toe, and the paint applied is tops. Slight sheens, metallic hits, sharply applied to mold points. Great execution. The DC Collectibles one (see our gallery here) again was solid at the time, but this one upgrades on all fronts. I think the blue is a tad dark here, but other than that it’s aces.
The rest of today’s figures are repaints. The 2 pack is nice, and for those really into this version of the characters it offers something different. I have no clue, but I’d guess that the green was originally blood and that was rejected at some point in the approval process, so it was switched to green. So let’s pretend they had a fist fight in a Titan Compound storage facility and things got dirty.  The new chases are golden rather than bronze. Each now have a stark black element painted on which is sharp. The Asylum Batman chase is Bronze to match the previous Joker one.   Personally these are not something I would feel the need to chase, but I’m not against it if it helps pay the bills. I also would be stressed if the chases were actual core offerings needed for a complete collection. So for those that dig the non traditional offerings, or those that gotta have them all – enjoy the hunt.
Bottom line – Knight Batman and Origins Deathstroke are great, and the Video Game thread of Multiverse is shaping up nicely. All of these are out now or will be soon at most online retailers, hit our sponsors and your favorite spots. Check some key shots here, and 90+ below in gallery format!

First up - Video Game figs:
DC Multiverse Arkham Mega Gallery – Arkham Knight Batman, Origins Deathstroke, Chase Figures and More!
The Arkham Knight Batman looks better in my opinion then the Arkham Asylum Batman. Only issue I have is they didn't paint the ab armor grey also still no alternative hands and no grapnel gun.
Which the photo you took posing the Arkham Knight Batman which is photo 8 isn't the grapnel gun so you know. That's the explosive gel gun which idk why they gave this figure that instead of his grapnel gun.
Agreed, not perfect on the specifics but overall these latest two are way better than the first 2. I can see repaints with proper paint blocking and additional proper weapons down the road. AK Batman would look great with a metallic / sheen paint job for example.
That Deathstroke looks like a pure winner.
The gold variants are killing me. Thinking I might have to skip a mortgage payment and get them on eBay.
Round two - comic themed - is up today:
DC Multiverse Comics Mega Gallery – Flashpoint Batman, New 52 Red Hood, White Knight Azrael, Rebirth Flash and More!
I am so getting red hood. Todd is one of my favorite characters. And the Tom Wayne Batman is great. I have yet to open him as i am rearranging my shelves but I so looking forwards to it.
Does cyborg have butterfly joints? Getting him soon and hoping for the rest of the animated titans lineup
Love Batman and Superman, but as you can see, Flash looks way too much of a toy. His pin holes look very noticeable for some reason.
Unsure why McFarlane can't go "pinless" ala Hasbro. Then again, just adding any articulation must be driving Todd insane.

The pins are a bit more depressed than normal. And, he has extra holes in arms and legs for the lightning effects to plug into. Personally, I don't mind cuts and pins, ball joints and butterfly joints etc, so long as they try to minimize them. On these spandex-esque suits tho it's hard.
Hasbro is going pinless, but even they are slow fading into it, not the standard yet. Will take a while I'd guess for everyone else to catch up. With how much McFarlane seems to not like breaking visuals I'd assume they'd be all over it tho.
I think this Flash is in line with the 1000 Bats/Supes. All 3 have that thick torso cut that isn't flush.

Does anyone know where I can pick up that red hood?
He's listed as "Coming Soon"

The Two Pack is listed at Target and Gamestop for early next year drop, but can't be ordered right now.
The only thing that bothers me is the lack of accessories for Deathstroke. No gun, no rifle, no staff... just a flimsy katana. And the gun that's strapped to the belt is really annoying (Hasbro did the same with the recent Marvel Legends movie Deadpool).
Our Metals set is up!
DC Multiverse Metal Mega Gallery – Robin Crow, The Merciless, Metal Batman, Infected Superman and More!
Have to admit they look nice but man am I annoyed Merciless isn't a single pack figure. Hate having to pay $30-$40 at Target for each of the four figures. Why the mark-up, Todd? Hasbro doesn't mark up Marvel Legends because of a BAF.
Really bad because for people wanting to army build Robins you have to pay up. Army builders should NEVER be more expensive than the regular figures in the line.
that crow decapitation pic is intense.

They are all selling out at the first round of pre-order sites, and 3rd party sellers are bumping up prices.
BBTS and others still have the wave at retail, with preorder status right now tho.
I'm holding the full team line up shots until the Drowned gets here.
If they make a regular Superman using the infected version I'd pick one up. Major improvement over the first one.
Preferably a non-torn cape yes. Or maybe both. That'd work too.
Honestly I'd be down for a figure of CW Superman in his new suit. Looks pretty good.
Here's hoping Constantine (Comic or CW version) and Swamp Thing might get a figure or 2021 I need some occult non batman superman ww figures please.
