This wave is so ridiculously overpriced. And then they add shipping, taxes, AND duties on top! The full wave, on "sale," from McFarlane Store comes to $240 CAD. That's $60 per figure after all is said and done ($48 if you include the BAF). But if you just want the Superman, it's $75! Todd has lost his damn mind!

I absolutely love that Spectre with the shading over the eyes. Very jim aparo. Also want the kid flash. However the price hike is ridiculous. Then again the ML Angel is $49.99 CAD. Are these only available through the McFarlane store?

Re: McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse toyline

Good lord that is a lot of garbage in one wave. Todd seems to be continuing his streak of terrible Superman figures. I know it is supposed to be Earth-2 Superman but jeez it looks terrible.

What is up with Kid Flash? Since when did he wear a stylized diaper? Does it help with his speed run?

Spectre's head sculpt is nice due to the shading making it somewhat different from previous versions. However the basic costume colours really highlight the poor body design of a lot of McFarlane figures.

Psycho-Pirate is saved by his colour scheme because it hides a lot of the problems I have with the body designs from McFarlane.

Monitor has a lot of armour that covers any issues I have so it looks pretty good.

Unfortunately, as was the case of the Catman figure, I believe the answer is yes.

That entire wave looks like cheeks. Specifically Superman and kid flash. Supes looks just bad and flash looks like he needs to drop one in the bathroom

Re: McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse toyline

This wave selection was right up my alley (in truth, I'd be happy with Pariah over Kid Flash, heh). I was excited until I saw the price. Not to mention the import fees that would be involved (The only time I've order from the store I got 3 figures and had to pay another 45 dollars to fedex a month after delivery)

Catman was also available on a few sites like CMDStore and Toy Snowman as well. I don't think it came to Gamestop though.

Todd will likely re release these guys in the future at retail in some different way. Maybe 2 packs or something.

I never saw it at Gamestop either.
