Well we have been wondering what would happen with DC Collector oriented action figures once the news broke last month that Spin Master was taking over a large chunk of the DC license in 2020. Would Mattel continue on with things like DC Multiverse in conjunction with Spin Master doing the more kid-friendly oriented stuff??? The answer seems to be no because today via IGN, McFarlane Toys has announced they have entered into a licensing agreement with Warner Bros to do 6"-12" ultra-posable action figures based on the DC Comics library of characters. Now this doesn't necessarily exclude Mattel from continuing their own figures, and Mattel has yet to make any kind of formal announcement about this, but I think the writing is on the wall now. McFarlane Toys figures generally are not known for articulation, however if you have checked out their recent Fortnite figures (see a review here), then you know the company has been making improvements on that front so we will have to see how they do on that front, and will Todd McFalrane, the man behind the company who is a comic book artist great, how much influence will he have on the actual designs? Would Todd McFarlane inspired DC figures interest you? McFarlane won't be taking over until 2020 so don't expect any reveals from them this year at Toy Fair on the DC front, but SDCC will probably be an interesting time for DC fans. We will be interviewing Todd himself this weekend so you better believe this will be topic of discussion #1 for us when we do.

According to IGN, Todd McFarlane told them this past weekend during the New York Comic Con that he plans on bringing back his classic movie and monster action figure lines known as Movie Maniacs and Clive Barker's Tortured Souls, with an emphasis on direct to consumer sales. Something we have seen more and more companies do in recent years as retail shelf space for action figures gets smaller and smaller. There is no denying that McFarlane was one of the original pioneers of the "Adult Action Figure Collector" market here in the United States when he started his company McFalrane Toys back in the 90's, making figures for adults as opposed for kids. In recent years however McFarlane has in large part moved away from that demographic, concentrating more on big license name brands in order to gain a larger presence on the shelves of big box retailers such as Target and Walmart. Licenses such as Halo, NBA, MLB and Rick & Morty, even creating a new line of building block toys in order to try and compete with the likes of LEGO. During that same time, other companies such as NECA and Mezco have worked hard to fill that void left open by McFarlane, creating figures based on horror icons such as Jason, Freddy and Chucky, as well as Aliens and Predator. In fact I think many would argue that NECA not only filled that void but surpassed McFarlane by providing consumers with action figures that not only featured highly detailed sculpts and paints, but also had decent articulation. Something most McFarlane figures sorely lack even to this day, and something Todd himself has been very reluctant to incorporate into his products. So the question that is begged to be asked, do we really need Movie Maniacs anymore? Can McFarlane really make a comeback in niche market that he once helped create, or have his competitors far surpassed him to the point of no return? See images for some of McFarlane's older Movie Maniac figures below and let us know what you think in the comments section.

McFarlane Toys partners with HBOs hit television series Game of Thrones to bring you highly detailed 6" figures of iconic characters, each coming with screen accurate accessories. Look for Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Night King & Arya Stark. Jon Snow, born Aegon Targaryen, is the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, the late Prince of Dragonstone. A decorated individual, Jon has been chosen as Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, and helped lead a successful raid in overtaking Winterfell from House Bolton, restoring House Stark’s reign over the North, in which Jon was proclaimed “King of the North.” Queen Daenerys Targaryen, is the younger sister of Rhaegar and Viserys Targaryen and only daughter of King Aerys II Targaryen and Queen Rhaella Targaryen, who were both ousted from the Iron Throne during Robert Baratheon’s rebellion. Among the most popular characters on the show, Daenerys is also the “Mother of Dragons,” having rule over Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal. The Night King is the master and the first of the White Walkers, having existed since the age of the First Men. He also serves as the supreme leader of the Army of the Dead. “The true enemy won’t wait out the storm. He brings the storm.” - Jon Snow (about the Night King) Arya Stark is the third child and second daughter of Lord Eddard Stark and his wife, Lady Catelyn Stark. After narrowly escaping the persecution of House Stark by House Lannister, Arya is trained as a Faceless Man at the House of Black and White in Braavos. She uses her new skills to bring those who have wronged her family to justice. You can pre-order these now at BigBadToyStore.com.

These figures from McFarlane Toys will be available from Skybound during next weekend's New York Comic Con. You can also pre-order them from BigBadToyStore.com.

McFarlane Toys goes where multiple toy companies have gone before with their new line of 7" Star Trek figures. The first two figures released are the two most iconic captains in the Star Trek universe, Captain James T. Kirk from The Original Series and Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The figure packaging features basic-looking cardbacks color-coded to the characters with the names and an image for each one. The back shows the figures as well as other Star Trek related product the company plans to do. The next two figures look to be Leonard Nimoy's Spock and Michael Burnham from Star Trek: Discovery. The figures themselves, while not bad, don't quite live up to the sculpting and paint detailing I expect from McFarlane Toys. The headsculpts for both figures are fairly solid, but the paint applications detract from the likenesses for both characters. Both figures have what almost looks like a strange blush on their cheeks, and I really don't like the paint used on Picard's eyes. Picard's paint also suffers on the body with what seems to be the black portion of the costume bleeding through on the red of the torso section. This makes Picard's uniform look dirty. Red also bleeds onto the black areas around the shoulder. Kirk's paint applications on the body are more solid looking than Picard's, but I don't like how they sculpted Kirk's delta shield on his shirt. It rises up way too high on the figure and has too much black showing around the edges. You also get some strange lines up the side of Kirk's torso due to the figure's construction. I do like that they used a harder plastic on the shirt for Kirk instead of the rubber-like material the older Art Asylum figures used which just didn't hold up well over time. Picard comes in the uniform he started wearing on season 3 of the TV series. Other than the aforementioned paint application issues, I think the figure looks pretty accurate. For accessories, both figures come with a circle plastic display base with the Star Trek delta shield on the top. The stands are very generic looking but keep the figure standing and won't take up a lot of shelf space, which is nice. Kirk comes with a Type 2 phaser pistol, communicator and phaser rifle which he used in some of the promo images of the show and the second pilot episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The communicator is sculpted in the open position, and the flap is not articulated. The rifle has the most detailing, while the communicator and pistol have very basic paint applications. Picard comes with a type 2 phaser that appears based on the ones used in later seasons or even in the Voyager TV series. He also comes with a flute he first received in the episode, "The Inner Light". Due to limited articulation, Picard can't hold the flute up to his mouth and Kirk can't really hold the rifle in any kind of decent pose. Both figures also come with an extra right hand. Articulation is pretty basic though arguably good for a McFarlane figure. You get things like single-hinged elbows and knees and no kind of ab-crunch or ankle pivot, but it's still better than what you see with most McFarlane figures. At the end of the day, McFarlane offers nothing terribly revolutionary about these figures. They aren't bad, but they aren't great either. If you already have these characters from the older 7" Art Asylum line, then I would recommend you pass on these. If you don't, they might be worth checking out. The figures do stand a bit shorter than those older Art Asylum figures. You can purchase these figures now at Megalopolis Toys.

There is no indication on the Gamestop or McFarlane websites that this will be made available early to those attending San Diego Comic Con later this week nor have we seen any other indications as to that.
