Batman (The Dark Knight Returns) McFarlane Collector Edition Figure Preview

[JayC]

Shown below is a preview for the upcoming Batman (The Dark Knight Returns) McFarlane Collector Edition Figure which will go up for pre-order at select retailers on August 16th. As shown at SDCC, the other two figures in the wave will include Huntress and Green Lantern (With multiple heads for multiple GL's).

The Batman will have a masked and unmasked head again based on what we saw at SDCC.

"Select retailers" does that mean no BigBadToystore or Entertainment Earth? Did anyone ever figure out why the last wave never showed up on either website?

Shown below is the McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse (Green Lantern Corps) McFarlane Collector Edition Figure which will be available for pre-order AUGUST 16th!. Includes Tomar-Re and Abin Sur head portraits plus 4 extra hands and 4 additional accessories. Also in this wave is the Batman (The Dark Knight Returns) McFarlane Collector Edition Figure that was shown over the weekend.

[Superdude98]

So I'm guessing the other two heads we saw at Comic Con will be the platinum edition. Boo

Do you guys like all the texturing they do, like on those Green Lantern costumes? I think I would prefer the costumes just be smooth, rather than try to justify it for the real world/make it look like a movie costume, or whatever it s they're going for.

I feel same way you do. 

[Hossman]

We have a few different style GLs now. Smooth, armored, and sweater texture.

I feel the newer Hal and John scale better than the first two, but now Killowag already does not match the aesthetic. The armored Hal and John match up great with Killowag though.

Oh I need that Huntress, she's looking awesome, I don't do DC often but when it's one of my fav characters I'll break that, Huntress is a must, not sure about that face she has there in that pic, but she has 2 other ones sooo yeah.

I think she has changeable face plates. I wonder how that'll turn out?

I got excited when I read the McFarlane figures with interchangeable heads, but then I see the the dreadful words "Collector Edition" and my dreams shattered.

Why is that Arkana99? The more expensive price? The extra $5 sucks, but at least this comes with more accessories and add-ons.

Adding GLs to the list of things I wish dude would let rest a bit.

Let's get some Wetworks, Wildstorm, Milestone figs out there.  Manhunter needs to not be a chase.  I'd be cool with Elseworld figs as well 

[RobertD]

I'll probably go for Huntress, but only if the other face sculpts look better than the one in the promo pic.  Damn, that looks so waxy and generic. 

And McFarlane can eat it on re-re-re-releasing another DKR Batman.  At least it's not the armored version again, I guess.

If you rememberthe first Mcfarlane figures didn't come with interchangeable hands, that's a recent feature. I really thought they decided to ad alternate heads on the regular releases but I guess we'll have to wait another couple of years for that.

I'm not 100% sure but I think this DKR headsculpt is different from the previous releases.

It is.  I'm just tired of seeing McFarlane release the same things over and over again with slight tweaks.  "Slightly different head!  Moderately different paintjob! Buy it again, for the 3rd or 4th time!" They can take a long walk off a short pier with that business model.  I'm personally done with it.

I can't wait for Todd to show the other head sculpts too. Though, I have to say this is very tempting... to get her in action figure form Huntress is one of the most good-looking characters in DC... so don't drop the ball, Todd. Hope she'd be available among the fan channels.

Does anyone have the details on when these figures will be available for pre-order? I’m trying to figure out if there’s a specific time they’ll go live—whether it will be at 10 am or 1 pm? Also does anyone know if the pre-orders will be exclusively on the McFarlane Toys website, or if they will also be available through Fan Channel sites like BigBadToyStore, Entertainment Earth, or similar retailers? Any specific information on where to pre-order and the timing would be greatly appreciated.
