Also met with excitement were figures inspired by The Dark Knight trilogy -- Scarecrow, Batman, Joker and Two-Face. Collecting all four allows for a build-a-figure: Tom Hardy's Bane. As a child, Bruce Wayne watched as his parents were brutally killed in Gotham City’s Crime Alley. Traumatized by their deaths, he devoted his life to becoming the world’s greatest weapon against crime the Batman! He’s a master detective and an expert martial artist, but his greatest weapon is his mind. Batman has a plan for every occasion, as well as high-tech weapons, gadgets, and vehicles to assist him in his relentless pursuit of justice!

On the plus side, her hooded cape assembly is among the best I’ve ever seen. The hood is perma-attached to her head, but not to the cape. However, the seam between hood and cape is so tight that whatever position the head/hood is in, it looks like part of the cloak overall. Many figures whiff on this, but Raven nails it. The first question was about potentially creating swappable heads that could be used across all figures. McFarlane mentioned that he would be getting "technical" to answer that question, bringing up how they might allow for lateral movements and so on, but the company isn't working on these at this time. The string on his bow also has some flex, so he can pose in an archer’s position. He does not, however, have an individual arrow that can display that way.Two very different build-a-figure waves of DC Multiverse action figures should arrive at major outlets soon. For comics fans, a long-requested wave themed after Titans characters features a large, buildable Beast Boy. Movie fans, on the other hand, should delight in McFarlane finally turning their toy license towards less recent movies. The wave based on Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy should arrive soon enough to interact with Flash movie figures on shelves, with a Christian Bale Batman (and more) to stand next to Ben, Michael, and (from last year) Robert. Then, the DC Multiverse slide showed up on the screen, resulting in thunderous applause. McFarlane made a point to note how the company's DC Multiverse line was one of the most popular to exist over the last year, beating out the company's other competitors. Seven figures were revealed for DC Multiverse: Duke Thomas/Signal, Catwoman (purple outfit), Batman from the Hush storyline, the Joker from his recent solo series and more. Two megafigures shown were Mongul and Frankenstein.

Up next were McFarlane Toys' Super Powers line featuring retro-looking figures like Batman, Superman and Darkseid, as well as a plane for Superman with extendable, boxing-glove-like arms and the Batwing for the Caped Crusader to be placed into. "That thing is so goofy that it's awesome," McFarlane said of Superman's plane, noting how it features a cell for villains to be placed into. A prominent and well-educated District Attorney, Harvey Dent fought valiantly to uphold the law and make the city a better place. In any other city, it would have worked. Not in Gotham a place where greed and corruption stretch from the depths of Crime Alley to the shimmering heights of the mayor’s office. Dent’s spiral into Gotham’s madness came swiftly after a criminal threw acid into his face, leaving half of it horribly scarred. Seeking refuge in the underbelly of Gotham, the name Harvey Dent and all the good it stood for was lost and Two-Face rose from the darkness.

McFarlane Toys and Warner Bros. Discovery Join Forces to Launch Innovative Line of DC Digital Collectibles

The figure includes 1 of 4 pieces that when combined with the rest of The Dark Knight Trilogy Build-a line will assemble Bane One question must be asked, though. Who approved the bios on the trading cards? Because besides the Batman one, which references his retirement between movies 2 and 3, these are not the movie biographies at all. Ledger’s Joker does not have white skin, and this Harvey Dent was not scarred by acid, but burned by fire. It’s an odd oversight for the McFarlane Dark Knight Trilogy figures. More Movie Love? Batman has no limits. Based on Christian Bale’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan’s trilogy of films, this rendition of Batman is not to be missed.

Next was "The World of Pandora," light-activated collectibles inspired by Avatar (2009) and the upcoming sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, in theaters later this year. The figures are inspired both by the human characters and the Na'vi tribes from the franchise, including mechs and Pandora's various creatures. The Banshees are the new airplane," McFarlane said, talking about how exciting the Avatar figures will be to play with. Continuing to discuss the banshee's immense details, McFarlane explained how the figures change colors, include swappable heads, and can be ridden by the Na'vi figures. Likeness-wise, however, even facially obscured, he’s got Tom Hardy’s eyes. They nailed the face on this McFarlane Dark Knight Trilogy figure. Donna Troy has a great face sculpt, with what looks like a digital faceprint, but the choice of light gray plastic for her armor and sword, while matching the comics in approximate shade, looks more like stone than dull metal. The varying textures work well, but a more McFarlane-y wash over the gray might have made it pop more. Red ArrowsNo name strikes terror into the hearts of Gotham’s citizens quite like the Joker. In a city overrun with larger-than-life criminals, the always-laughing villain stands alone. A complete psychopath with no moral compass whatsoever the Joker, whose real name and identity remain completely unknown, is characterized by his chalk-white skin, green hair and a permanent rictus grin stretched across his face. But there isn’t a single thing funny about this particular clown, who only finds humor in the suffering of others. The next fan asked about bringing super groups to McFarlane Toys, mentioning the evil Batmen from Dark Knights: Metal, the Legion of Super-Heroes and other teams. As a child, Bruce Wayne™ watched as his parents were brutally killed in Gotham City’s Crime Alley™. Traumatized by their deaths, he devoted his life to becoming the world’s greatest weapon against crime—the Batman! He’s a master detective and an expert martial artist, but his greatest weapon is his mind. Batman has a plan for every occasion, as well as high-tech weapons, gadgets, and vehicles to assist him in his relentless pursuit of justice! Did they do the same for Cillian Murphy’s Scarecrow? It’s much harder to say. Up close, the eyes do seem to have it, a touch. Legally, though, I doubt this is considered an actor likeness. Let’s Face It…

Batman includes three Batarangs and his grapnel gun, all cast in bronze plastic like the old Mattel figures. There’s no place on his belt to attach them, so he can only pose with one at a time. The sculpt on his suit is a good one, though the armored codpiece is a little odd as a flexible piece. As is often the case, the cape feels quite narrow — maybe a future Gold Label variant could give him a larger cloth one. No name strikes terror into the hearts of Gotham’s citizens quite like the Joker™. In a city overrun with larger-than-life criminals, the always-laughing villain stands alone.

But there isn’t a single thing funny about this particular clown, who only finds humor in the suffering of others. For another fan, McFarlane brought the microphone into the crowd so they could ask their question, holding up a Gunslinger Spawn figure with the character riding on a horse for them to have and enjoy. From DC Direct, these new figures were shown: Batman Jace Fox, Harley Quinn's Future State design, another Batman figure with his cape flying all about, and the Joker from Batman: The Animated Series. Also from DC Direct's designer series were Batgirl and the Joker in artist Greg Capullo's design from Batman's "Death of the Family" storyline.A prominent and well-educated District Attorney, Harvey Dent™ fought valiantly to uphold the law and make the city a better place.
