Earlier this year Zack Synder’s Justice League finally hit HBO MAX and fans were able to see his proper vision for that movie and the DCEU. Four years after it’s initial release, new toys are hitting shelves for the flick. McFarlane Toys dropped a wave+ of figures for the new cut of the film. Included are Batman, Superman, Aquaman, The Flash, Cyborg, Steppenwolf and Darkseid. Wonder Woman had a release last year for WW84 that is similar to her movie look.
There were multiple variants for all this as well. Batman comes unmasked and masked. On the masked ones the goggles can be up or down. Superman comes in black and standard blue suit. Cyborg has a masked and unmasked version. Darkseid also comes with armor and without.
We’ve run most of these for a set of pics after the break. We are missing Supes in blue and Steppenwolf. Read on to check it all out courtesy of McFarlane Toys!
These are in stores now or will be soon, hit your preferred spot to pick them up if you dig them!

Some Quick Thoughts
Batman sculpt and paint is solid. Masked, goggles down the best one. I handled a lot of versions of the Tactical suit from kiddie Mattel up through One:12 and this is well done especially for 20/5 bucks.
Cyborg is solid, both versions. The face sculpt came out really well on the unmasked one. Limited articulation in knees/elbows, but lots of paint and wash.
Flash is above average. All that red is hard to pull off. Sculpt is there, articulation solid. Crotch is a bit diaper-ish when you pose him in certain ways.
Aquaman, not the best. There aren’t many that did it well. Beards are hard. Neck down is acceptable.
Black suit Superman – up to the neck is solid. I *think the head sculpt is there – but the paint is way too thick, lost a lot of detail.
Darkseid – armored is solid, represents his look in movie. Shirtless – weird, just like movie. The torso cut is a little rough, but if you get him in the default sculpt position it’s not horrible, just normal weird at that point.
Overall – not a bad round of figures. I think the heavy paint on faces didn’t do them any favors. Masked, goggles down Batman, Armored Darkseid, regular Cyborg and Flash are worthy of attention for JL fans.

At a glance I like how the armored Darkseid looks a little more than the other but looking closer and seeing he has a gap between his torso armor and belt is putting me off. It's like he got himself a midriff cut shirt but only a little bit, or it's armor he's outgrown but he likes it too much to stop wearing it. Then there's also the factor that he did literally nothing while he looked like that except stare menacingly at the heroes and talk a little bit.
Wow. Those are some fantastic pics of mediocre figures from a terrible movie. That pic of Superman and Darkseid is so badass.
Great shots! I'm still on the hunt for Goggles Up Batman.
I have most of the figures and even was able to get the Target exclusive Superman. I too am on the hunt for the goggles up Batman but I'm not sure he will be easy to find. I don't know why they just didn't make the goggles moveable to where you can have them up or down. That unmasked Batman head sculpt looks of course nothing like Ben Affleck. Though I still might try to get him if Entertainment Earth ever gets him in stock. Got the Armored Darkseid on order at Target. I like the Armored version over the non armored version because it looks like he is sucking his gut completely in. At least the armored one hides that. I wish I would have kept my Justice League Batmobile. I assume the one you used in the photo gallery is the one Mattel put out. Overall very nice photo gallery. These McFarlane figures are way better than the ones Mattel put out.
Mattel 1/10 Scale Justice League RC Batmobile Photo Review
Oddly, 1/10 is also the 7 inch scale, but that Batmobile is way bigger than it should be for those figs.
I would've gotten them had it not been for the plastic capes. Why not make multi-purpose cloth ones as well?
Got Flash and he looks great with the other Flashes. Not sure about getting the rest, though.
I still can't understand why McFarlane insists on tossing so much paint on a headsculpt that it looks like it's caked in paint.
Suicide Squad pics are up!

I don't get why they didn't give some of the figures guns. Is McFarlane against giving guns to his figures? Spawn has guns. Also stupid Target canceled my Armored Darkseid pre-order. Assholes. I got King Shark from Walmart though and the unmasked Bloodsport coming. I need to look more carefully at my King Shark because I'm not sure if he has blood on his mouth or not.
Re: king shark - the Walmart one by himself should have bloody mouth. It's not as visible with mouth closed but there.
I got my Gold Label one today, too and it doesn't have any blood on the mouth. Damn. Now I have to track down another damn variant on eBay.
Re: king shark - the Walmart one by himself should have bloody mouth. It's not as visible with mouth closed but there.
Oh wow, sorry folks. I guess this is a variant within the Gold Label release then.
Didn't realize it but the Walmart photos have no blood either.
And for reference - the mouth closed position doesn't fully have paint. I think it was applied while open.
If that's supposed to be Idris Elba, then my sculpt looks like George Clooney.
The "no guns" rule is a mandate imposed by Warner Bros. on all DC products from what I'm hearing. It's even affecting the import companies hence why the new Figuarts Harley doesn't come with any guns at all. Really really dumb move.
You know for Transformers, people with skills and 3-D printers make "Upgrade Kits" for sale, some which cost the same or more than the figure itself, and people would buy them in order to complete/enhance the figure. For anyone reading this, this wave is prime for "Upgrade Gun Kit". Bloodsport especially uses some pretty unique guns in the movie. Go make the kit and make a killing! These figures NEED guns!
Between the janky face sculpts and the zero guns, I'm kinda meh on getting any more DC figures.
No reason to have to pay over $100 for some of their import stuff like Arkham Knight and he doesn't even have a fucking gun.
No guns, but bloody severed limbs are A-OK!
I’ve been expecting a lot more from McFarlane when they acquired the DC license. So far the movie toys have that $10 Titan size look to them, just with more articulation.
Thanks Todd for allowing to buy King Shark individually, I don't really need the other characters.
I've seen many japanese customers getting nice results with twitching the fig's pants, revealing nicely articulated hips.
I want King Shark badly.
