McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse toyline

I read somewhere that DC Collectibles closed and that McFarlane is pushing out remaining product? Please correct me if I am mistaken. I was wondering why I kept seeing more and more product like Deceased at GS stores for prices under $20.

RCSS today had Animated Killer Croc as well as the DCC figures like Aquaman, Black Manta, Batman, WW, HQ. They were all the same price as the other McFarlane figs: $18.44.

I don't think that rumor is true

Damn, guess I shouldn't have paid the scalper price on Ebay. Oh well, lesson learned.

Thank you for your sacrifice

So Mcfarlane is merging with DC's collectible sector then?

No, they're taking over production and distribution of the until-now-defunct DC Direct line. So they are reissuing some figures that were released just before DC Direct closed, and also putting out new stuff under that line.

I've picked up a few of these new and re-released figures and they seem to be identical (for the most part) to the previous releases. Maybe the paints are a bit different (they have that McFarlane look), but I believe the molds are the same as before.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the exact same factory production, just under the direction of McFarlane, instead of DC. After all, the production of this stuff is all outsourced to independent factories overseas, and I'm assuming they don't care who pays for the production costs.

I also wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the stock in stores now was leftover from the last production run under DC Direct, with McFarlane just doing distribution.

So I guess that explains the Justice League Animated figures from years ago that are showing up at GameStop. I was wondering about that.
