… or more affectionately titled; the G.D. Batman.
First off I have to give Ron props. I loved his CustomCon 24 DC Universe Classics Earth 2 Customs and they (especially the Robin and Batman) were a big part of the inspiration for making this G.D. Batman. If you haven’t seen them, definitely check ’em out.

With pre-orders available at $7.99 (at Entertainment Earth) to $14.99 per figure, these articulated 4-inch figures should come in a few bucks below their static big brothers when they’re widely available. However, I can’t help thinking that for a buck or two more, McFarlane could have done collectors a solid and packed in interchangeable hands and head, so you could have a batter and fielder in one package instead of two. I think they’d have better sell-through that way.

Brand New Action Figures Hitting Stores in March
McFarlane Toys is on deck and ready to knock it out of the park with full in-packaging photography of the highly anticipated MLB PlayMakers action figures line.
PlayMakers is a completely new McFarlane Toys product based on our existing sports licenses. These new action figures include the high level of detail McFarlane Toys is known for in a newly developed 4-inch scale figure. The addition of tremendous articulation, more than 20 moving parts, allows for complete playability and enables consumers to recreate countless action poses of their favorite sports hero. Plus, we’ve got the inning covered from top to bottom, as most players will be available in both a batting and a fielding version!
Here is a look at the entire Series 1 of MLB PlayMakers:

Toyfare #152 is the last issue to hit the stands before Toy Fair. As such, Mattel and Hasbro have saved up some of their big reveals for the issue, which is due in comic book stores next Wednesday. For those of you who can’t wait, a subscriber who received his issue early has given me some early intel of what’s between the covers.
DC Universe Classics – as they promised, Mattel has revealed an upcoming wave of figures.
I won’t be posting scans of Toyfare – c’mon – just pick up your own copy! 🙂 – but I have picked images that reflect what was described to me. With Obsidian, the Rex Tyler version of Hourman, and the Alan Scott Green Lantern, we’ve got some more Justice Society of America goodness coming our way, and fans of the classics will be glad to get Rex instead of Rick for Hourman. I think a lot of fans will be pleased that Zatanna is in her top hat, tails, and stockings, but I’m concerned about getting a repeat of Black Canary’s legs.
Gold continues the Metal Men, Kamandi brings us a Toy Guru favorite, and Tyr continues the unofficial Super Powers theme for this year. And, what can you say about a C&C Ultra-Humanite? Giant gorillas are awesome.
[Update – Mattel has confirmed that this will be a Wal-Mart exclusive wave. If it follows the pattern from the past Wal-Mart exclusives, the wave should not have any variant or chase figures.]
The HeroClix team skipped the Blackest Night Starter Kit update today, but they did post a huge update for The Brave and the Bold. These figures, which will be available in April, look to be traditionally sculpted. They really highlight the differences in detail from a digitally sculpted figure, like Blackest Night.

I’m not sure if Art Asylum had previously revealed that the final black silhouetted Iron Man would be the Mark V armor. I am usually not a fan of movie-oriented figures, but Iron Man 2 may be too hard to resist.
