McFarlane Toys has established an impressive reputation for producing quality action figures over the past three decades. The firm’s sculpts combine accurate likenesses, spectacular design, and incredible articulation, allowing fans to display their favorite characters just as they want. The level of detail they offer is a legacy of the eye-catching comic book art of the company’s founder, Todd McFarlane. Understandably, fans were thrilled when McFarlane gained the rights to produce action figures based on the characters of DC Comics in 2019.
Batman as Green Lantern 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Captain Carrot Justice League Incarnate 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
The DC Multiverse does what it suggests in every universe. Constant waves of figures have been drawn from the broad range of DC’s multimedia properties. That means famous storylines and crossover events from the page sit side-by-side with the latest movie models. The newest Collectors Edition wave, now available for pre-order below, doesn’t disappoint with room to visit the extraordinary multiverse of Grant Morrison, a pivotal moment in Supernman’s life, and one of Batman’s most controversial movies,Batman & Robin.
Batman & Robin Movie Batman 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
George Clooney’s Batman achieved infamy for many things in the runtime of Joel Schumacher’s gloriously over-the-topBatman & Robin. Top of the list must be his Batsuit’s nipples, so fans won’t be disappointed to find them accurately represented on this 7-inch model. The 22 points of articulation almost seem like an afterthought on a figure that will be high on the list for Bat-completists. Available to pre-order for December 2023.
Batman & Robin Movie Robin 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Having arrived in 1995’sBatman Forever, Chris O’Donnell’s Robin shared top billing in the follow-up. This incarnation of Dick Grayson wasn’t for every fan. Still, this impressive sculpt captures the character’s cocky superheroics, including some fetching ice freeze effects when he’s tried to take on chilling villain Mr. Freeze alone. Available to pre-order for December 2023.
Batman & Robin Movie Batgirl 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Alicia Silverstone’s Batgirl only made it into oneBatmanmovie, with a backstory reimagining her as the niece of Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler Alfred. It’s yet another lifelike build for a character who, like Joel Schumacher’s final Bat film, is enjoying a kinder retrospective a quarter of a century on. Like all the characters in this wave, the model comes with a stand and collectible art card. Available to pre-order for December 2023.
Batman & Robin Movie Poison Ivy 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Batman & Robinwas famously overstuffed with villains, none of whom fared well. This was a particular shame for the first live-action incarnation of Batman’s legendary floral foe. This impressive movie-authentic likeness of Uma Thurman’s Rogue stands 7 inches tall and has 22 points of articulation. Available to pre-order for December 2023.
Superman and Krypto Return of Superman 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
One of Superman’s most iconic eras celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2023: Mullet Superman. This is a bulky comics-accurate version of the last son of Krypton, who emerged from the epicDeath of Supermanevent in the 1990s, complete with a bright, long-hair, and trusty companion, Krypto the Superdog. Fans who have previously released characters from the comic event, like The Eradicator, will be thrilled to add the “Mane of Steel” to their collection. Available to pre-order for January 2024.
Early McFarlane releases dug into the epicDark Nights Metalcomic event, producing some impressive Batmen of the Dark Multiverse. While it was fun to see the Bat twisted to mirror other members of the Justice League, this model is a lighter take, imagining the Dark Knight as the Emerald Gladiator in better circumstances. This distinctive model is an eye-catching collector’s piece with a power battery, energy effects, and swappable hands. Available to pre-order for January 2024.
Pre-orders suggest this is the most popular model in this wave, and it’s easy to see why. Captain Carrot, a multiversal analog for Superman, first appeared in 1982. However, this model takes inspiration from the reinvention of Carrot and his Zoo Crew by legendary comic book writer Grant Morrison, who steered them to a role in the epicFinal Crisisevent. Earth-26’s member of the Multiversal super-team Justice Incarnate is available to pre-order for January 2024.
Fans of Batman and Robin will notice a particular character is missing from this pre-order line-up, but that’s the critical reason to collect all the figures. Like other manufacturers, McFarlane often increases collectibility by including build-a-figure parts. Fans looking for the completeBatman & Robinset have an extra incentive to grab all four figures in the range as they all come with parts to assemble a full-size figure of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mr. Freeze. That should chill them out, although it’s left to another wave to deliver the movie’s awkward version of Bane.
With this new wave, McFarlane continues to break new frontiers in the DC Multiverse. One constant across the Multiverse is the offers available for Game Rant readers at the retailers above. Shoppers who buy any in-stock items from Entertainment Earth when shopping these pre-orders will get an automatic 10% off and free shipping for everything over $79. Those shipping with Amazon can grab a free, cancel-anytime trial of Prime for free and fast shipping as soon as this wave is available.
FAQs
What is the DC Multiverse?
It may seem like everything has a multiverse these days, but DC pioneered the concept in 1961 in the pages of Flash #123. A product of the mass of continuity and the many creators working on comics over the years, the idea is constantly redefined in comics, TV, and movies. For McFarlane Toys, the Multiverse label allows the manufacturer to draw from DC Comics' rich multimedia heritage. Without that broad concept, there would be no figures celebratingBatman and Robin.
How big are McFarlane DC Multiverse figures?
McFarlane Toys has the rights to produce figures between 6 and 12 inches. The 80s throwback figures are 6 inches tall, while the main range of Multiverse figures stand at 7 inches. The Megafig range caters to larger characters like King Shark, Swamp Thing, and Man-Bat, which reach an impressive 12 inches.
