About the selling out part, McFarlane doesn't put a limit on units you can buy as far as I know. It's surprising to see it seeling out on BBTS but there's something that calls my attention with BBTS, they have some old DC McFarlane figures that won't sell even without huge discounts, I believe they are being cautious with quantity, I also believe McFarlane is being cautious with quantities. The brand is quite an enigma, and Todd wanted to start heavy with obscure versions of the characters, got a lot of hate and negative feedback. I don't think they understand where they're standing.

When I said McFarlane doesn't put a limit on the quantity you can buy, I meant, McFarlane Toys Store. Some scalpers might have bought dozens of the bundles, especially the individual sets with one chase. You can't really decipher what's going on. Ali Express have some sought out figures, for example, and I don't know where they got it from, maybe it's from McFarlane Toys Store.

I agree. I think they lost Wal-Mart at the end of 2023 and Target in 2024 (I have no proof ... not an insider, just observations). If they had not ramped up the Platinum program like they did with Platinum Catwoman and Platinum Sky Hook Batman and make the Platinums in the Plastic Man wave essentially Target exclusives, I don't think this line would be in the mainstream as it is now. I agree that it feels like the line is trying to figure out sales vs production numbers so they don't have as much surplus inventory

Looking at the wave (and seeing someone else's comment in a forum ... don't remember who), it looks like the CE figure's pack-in are starting to follow a format ... 3 sets of hands, 3 faces and one accessory (same accessories for reg and plat). For Guy's two versions, it was easy for them to pack in a power battery for both versions

Power Girl selling out fast was a given. When Mattel release Power Girl in the DC Universe Classics (Series 10 October 2009) she sold well enough that they released her again in March 2010 as part of an All-Star wave and again in April 2010 with Series 13 as an All-Star figure. Because of the three releases there were plenty of Power Girl figures hanging on the pegs for a long time.

Yes, Power Girl is Superman's cousin but from a different Earth. She was always a DC character.

McFarlane has been doing a lot of characters from acquired comic companies lately like Question (Charlton Comics), Shazam (Fawcett Comics), etc. Because of this, I wasn't sure if Power Girl and Super Girl had the same origin but different worlds or if Power Girl was acquired. Thank you for setting me straight :)

No offense, but this is based on the video game, so you get the shading. I'm not sure about your argument here.

No offense taken. I understand the use of the shading. However, I have never liked this type of shading dating back to the Alan Scott CE Platinum. I understand the thought behind it but the execution almost always leaves me wanting better

Not sure what we are discussing with this comment. To my recollection, Todd has finished one team so far… that is the main JL with Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter/Cyborg. However I think this is the only finished team (I could be wrong). If the comment is about my cough, I apologize. I have two issues…a denture that catches buildup and sinuses that recently caused a sinus infection. Both issues cause me to cough from time to time. I also start coughing if my mouth gets too dry from speaking too much

Now I do agree with you. The Flash and Batman are the only ones that I probably liked out of this waze. This Darkseid is okay looking. But personally I brought me the Beast Kingdom Darkseid. Because to me that's the best looking Darkseid that I ever laid eyes on. Plus Beast Kingdom Darkseid comes with a lot more accessories than DC Classic Darkseid. I did wrote a letter to MCFARLANE Toys in Tempe Arizona the headquarters. Attention Todd McFarlane. I wrote him a wishlist of characters that he can make. The Cheetah was one of them. I forgot Despero though. But Giganta was another enemy of Wonder Woman. Grail the daughter of Darkseid and Soranik Natu the daughter of Sinestro in yellow and black. I wrote down a lot of characters that he can make. Arkillo. I mean since we already have Kilowog. Might as well have Arkillo. But there's a very long list. Well 2 pages of them. Todd and the gang can either read the letter or just throw it in the trash. Lol. But hopefully they'll reconsider.

I agree with your take on the Beast Kingdom Darkseid. It is great except for the price. All of your wishlist characters would be great to have in the line. I think my favorite out of your mentions would be Grail. I was eyeing up her Mattel release but that price scares me. I thought about doing dream BAF waves videos. I feel that Arkillo would be a good choice for a BAF figure. He would be bigger than a normal figure but not in the Mega figure level. Figures I would like to see if they did a lantern BAF ... Larfleeze, Bleez, Saint Walker and Star Saphire.

I agree. Especially Larfleeze. I told Todd McFarlane about the Wonder Twins. General Zod looking like Michael Shannon of the Man of Steel movie. Antje Traue as Faoro. And the big huge man Nam-Ek or Non. I forgot which name that he goes by. Emperiex Prime. I think that's how you spell it. Grayven the other son of Darkseid. Yuga Khan the father of Darkseid as a Mega Fig. Big Barda as a BAF. Justice Lord Wonder Woman. It's a lot. I'm trying to remember all that I put on that 2 page letter. Lol.

Thanks for the info. I have not been reading a lot of the newer DC content and I should read the cards more. I thought that this was Doomsday evolving but it is a Waller science experiment. This justifies having both in the collection since they are two different characters. Thanks again

I recently brought the Kryptonite Doomsday. I like him better than the one with the ponytail. I like the Kryptonite that glows in the dark. The darker green shorts. I like the face. I heard some people say that Kryptonite Doomsday looks like the Predator. I guess because of the dreadlocks. The only thing that I don't like about Kryptonite Doomsday is the fact that I can't bend his head in a upward position. But that's okay. I can deal with that. But overall, I like Krypton Doomsday. I'm glad that I brought him.

Your comment rings true to what I am seeing. Walmarts around me seem to only stock Gold Labels and BAFs. I have not seen regular release, CE or PP is a Walmart in some time Targets seemed to be out until the movie assortment. No year long BAF. No real opt in before the movie assortment. For the Plastic Man BAF, they got a special run of platinum filled cases making Target a must stop shop. This was probably done to win back Target and it worked (at least from an online perspective) I know it is not economical, but I started getting everything from MTS except for store based exclusives. With the coming one per case plats (and no EE wave 17 case), I feel these might be offered in the MTS collector's program

If a store is not listed on MTS for a figure that means that store did not opt in on carrying it ( Did not order any of that item). Walmart is very bad on their Distribution on Toys. Target for some reason has slowed down on their ordering from Mcfarlane. Seems like manufacturing has slowed down also very. IMO. Also it seems that sales on McFarlane figures at Walmart and Target were not good so their has cut back on ordering from McFarlane. ( A lot of his stuff hit clearance).

Agree with you on the Target theory! If hypothetically Target was offered the Crisis wave and they said no, did Walmart, GameStop, Amazon, Entertainment Earth, BBTS, etc., say no as well? I find that hard to believe since Hasbo sells a lot of figures as "fan channel" exclusives to online retailers. Be that as it may, if Mcfarlane is having sales issues and contnues to push a $39.99 price point then the quality needs to go up in order to justify the higher prices! Things like Superman and Kid-Flash face sculpts, the Psycho -Pirate not having a human face with removable face mask, and Monitor's suit colors not being completely comic accurate, do not justfy the higher price!!!

Good question. I don't think any of these retailers have done a BAF wave except for Walmart's re-colored Solomon Grundy BAF. Did historical business talks guide McFarlane to not offer these to other retailers? I know Amazon and BBTS have done the re-colored special runs which I believe were limited to 3K. If they went that route, I would think they would have to carry stock of at least 12K units. Maybe McFarlane did talk to them or knew they were not interested. Or maybe the logistics and other costs made the "juice not worth the squeeze".
