McFarlane Witcher 36

McFarlane Toys may be running full steam with the DC License but they still rock a good selection of video games too. They hopped on the CD Projekt Red Cyberpunk 2077 train before it derailed, and now they are pumping out some Witcher figures. These are based on the game, not the Netflix show. The first offerings are both for Geralt of Rivea. One in 12 inch poseable statue form, and one in modern 7 inch articulated form. The 12 inch has Geralt in standard colorings while the 7 inch is an exclusive Gold Label colorway available at Walmart, but a traditional one is on the market too.

We’ve run both for a quick session, read on to check some quick thoughts and our pics after the break! Both of these are out now or will be soon, check your local spots, our sponsors below or Amazon!

DC Last Knight on Earth Wave 99

Batman The Last Knight on Earth was a DC Black Label miniseries from the team of Capullo and Snyder. It’s an altverse tale showing a dark future where Batman has been MIA for a bit and the world has collapsed. Bands of heroes and villains are still around but in much different forms from what a recently awakened Bruce Wayne remembers. It runs through the story in 3 contained issues, following Batman along with The Joker’s head in a glass bowl poking at him non stop as he tried to figure out what happens, and how to fix it.

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse is tackling the key players in one short wave – Batman in his Asylum gear along with The Joker head, Scarecrow in his creepy AF rotting form, Wonder Woman in her Mad Max mohawk warrior getup, and Omega, a future tech Batman looking guy – no spoilers in case you guys want to check it out (Amazon / Kindle / Comixology copies here). All of these come packed with pieces for the giant Bane Collect to Build figure. He carried Scarecrow around on his back in the books, because Scarecrow has no lower half to his body. The toys are designed to work like this too, with a peg that connects the two.

Read on for some additional thoughts and over 90 HD shots of the whole wave courtesy of McFarlane Toys.  These are starting to ship now, and should hit full retail in March 2021.

Mandarin Spawn WM Blue 99 1

Todd McFarlane continues to drop little Spawn nuggets on us with random modern releases of the character in different forms.  We had two Color Tops a couple years ago.  He popped up in MK 11 and had several releases there.  A 12 inch MK 11 Commando Spawn has been shown.  Let’s not forget the Spawn Remastered Kickstarter.  Now, out of the blue, Mandarin Spawn has returned, with his first release as a Walmart exclusive Gold Label figure.    This is a re-imagining of the original figure, who made his first appearance in Spawn #165 via a one shot.  It tells a brutal story of a deformed man being treated horribly in ancient China, given the chance to make a deal with the devil, dies and comes back to get his revenge.

So, today we have a look at the original Mandarin Spawn figure from 1999, and the new 2021 Walmart exclusive version.  I have a running vintage Spawn shelf going here and figured why not, so I picked up the original version on eBay so I could compare the two.  Cracked it fresh 20 years later.  There is a mass release for the new version coming in the traditional red color scheme, but it’s first release is the blue seen here.

Dark Nights Metal Group Shot

Dropping a set for one of the recently released McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse figures – The Drowned, aka Batman from Earth -11. This is the last major piece of the original Dark Knights from Dark Nights Metal. With her in place, the core line up is complete. Technically Bryce Wayne and Batwoman, the earth she hails from is gender reversed so she is the Dark Knight there. She was co-opted by Barbatos and The Batman Who Laughs to destroy the original Batman, along with all the other alternate Batmen we’ve seen. Each of them take on the look or gear of their greatest enemy at the time they went to the dark side, hence each having a connection to our other heroes.

As a figure, the drowned is another solid offering from McFarlane. The Dark Knights in particular have all been excellent, and the fact that the entire team was completed in (almost) year one was a welcome surprise. Articulation is there even in the skinny female form. Paint is well done head to toe as usual. Sculpt is also great, detailing and texture is present everywhere needed. All in all, great execution. For me though, it wasn’t about her in particular, but the fact the team is now complete.

Read on to check out our shots, basic and fancy. We have her other wave mates in hand here too – Red Son Superman, Damian Wayne, Death Metal Batman and the (literal) Batcycle. Working on those, check back soon for our shots and thoughts!

zzz Dark Night Metals Multiverse

Time for our last round of late 2020 McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse galleries!  Today is all about the Dark Nights Metal sub theme.  It also features McFarlane’s fist dip into the buildable figure angle, which they are calling Collect to Build (CTB).   Split among 4 figures in the wave, you get parts to build out a larger than average “The Merciless” – which is Batman from another Dark Earth that defeated and took on the powers of Ares, God of War, in order to battle Wonder Woman and the Amazons.  And won.  Inside you’ll find pics and thoughts for:

• The Batman Who Laughs – Sky Tyrant Wings
• Batman – Dark Nights Metal
• Robin (Crow) – 3 varaints
• Superman (Infected)
• The Flash vs Red Death
• The Merciless (Collect to Build)

Read on for our thoughts on it all and over 135 pics (some) courtesy of McFarlane Toys (the others courtesy of my wallet)!

MK11 Spawn Blood Feud Hunter 17

As we finish up our pics for the DC Multiverse Dark Nights Metal figures from McFarlane Toys, time for a quick look at the most recent SPAWN offering!  Mortal Kombat 11 Spawn Blood Feud Hunter is a repaint of the first Spawn they released in alternate colors from the game.  So while it may not make sense on first glance to a Spawn comic reader, it is actually based on a game option.  And there are like 10 more color combos available so… :)  This one has a yellow/white base with red highlights and cape.  He comes with blood on the body and Axe as well.

I have been on a revitalized Spawn kick in recent years, the Color Tops ones got me going again.  Went back and got some vintage pieces, have been super happy with the MK releases, and went all in on the Kickstarter.  So anything Spawn, I’ll take it.    I also ran Spawn pretty hard in MK11 so I am down with the alt color schemes.

In addition to the Blood Feud Hunter version, I also got a hold of the Mace variant that dropped a while ago, so I’ve included that here.  Check out all three (mace, sword, axe) versions together inside.  Both of these are out now so hit our sponsors or your local spots to pick them up!

z DC Multiverse Comic Figures 01

Round 2 of our late 2020 McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse galleries is a go!  Today we are focusing on the comic theme of the line.  It’s still heavily Batman related, but additional characters are starting to fill out the comic side of things.  Inside you’ll find pics and our thoughts for:

• White Knight Azrael in Batman Armor
• Rebirth Joker
• Rebirth Flash
• New 52 Red Hood
• New 52 Nightwing (& Red Hood again)
• Flashpoint Batman (Thomas Wayne)
• Teen Titans Cyborg (Animation)

All in all it’s a solid line up and gives folks something to choose from.  The Cyborg is actually from their Animated sub theme, but we threw him in here because that’s the only one recently released.  The highlights for me were Flashpoint Batman, New 52 Red Hood, and The Flash.  All are sharply done.  Read on for some additional thoughts and over 135 HD images courtesy of McFarlane Toys!

Check back next week for our 3rd set wrapping things up with the Dark Nights Metal wave featuring McFarlane’s first Connect to Build (CTB aka BAF) figure – Batman The Merciless!

z DC Multiverse Video Game Figures 2020 02

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!

In 2021, all chase figures released in the McFarlane Platinum Edition program will be showcased in limited-edition packaging with a McFarlane Platinum Edition label printed in foil.

Every McFarlane Platinum Edition figure will be highly limited in quantity and feature a rare paint variation. It will extend across all of McFarlane Toys’ world-class and fan-favorite entertainment and pop culture brands to bring the “chase’ of collecting back to fans everywhere!
