Likeness-wise, however, even facially obscured, he’s got Tom Hardy’s eyes. They nailed the face on this McFarlane Dark Knight Trilogy figure.

Attending fans sat down in the panel to be greeted by McFarlane, finding exclusive collectibles inspired by DC's 2011 storyline Flashpoint waiting for each of them in their seats. For those looking for a holiday gift," said moderator Tetrault of a '66 Batman lunchbox with Batman, Robin, Penguin and Joker figures, met with excitement by McFarlane as he discussed his days of owning a Batman lunchbox when he was younger.

No name strikes terror into the hearts of Gotham’s citizens quite like the Joker™. In a city overrun with larger-than-life criminals, the always-laughing villain stands alone. A complete psychopath with no moral compass whatsoever the Joker, whose real name and identity remain completely unknown, is characterized by his chalk-white skin, green hair and a permanent rictus grin stretched across his face. But there isn’t a single thing funny about this particular clown, who only finds humor in the suffering of others. As a build-a-figure, Beast Boy’s one up on Bane, whose mid torso area is super-soft, rubbery plastic over a ball jointed post, almost like a scarecrow. This can create some awkwardness…

Two very different build-a-figure waves of DC Multiverse action figures should arrive at major outlets soon. For comics fans, a long-requested wave themed after Titans characters features a large, buildable Beast Boy. Movie fans, on the other hand, should delight in McFarlane finally turning their toy license towards less recent movies. The wave based on Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy should arrive soon enough to interact with Flash movie figures on shelves, with a Christian Bale Batman (and more) to stand next to Ben, Michael, and (from last year) Robert. Donna Troy has a great face sculpt, with what looks like a digital faceprint, but the choice of light gray plastic for her armor and sword, while matching the comics in approximate shade, looks more like stone than dull metal. The varying textures work well, but a more McFarlane-y wash over the gray might have made it pop more. Red Arrows In his free time, Shane loves going for runs and playing with his 16-year-old beagle Butterscotch. Butters for short, she has been the greatest love of his and inspires him everyday, both creatively and emtionally. On top of that, he's now a huge collector. He loves Funko Pop, McFarlane Toys, and Neca's huge line of horror figures. In the last two years he has been going to a lot of conversations to buy an unhealthy amount of figures. This has also allowed him to meet some of his favorite filmmakers/actors like Mike Flanagan, Matthew Lillard, John Carpenter, Grace Caroline Curry, Steve Burns and Kathryn Newton. However, Shane isn't just a movie guy. He also loves video games. Super Mario Sunshine, The Last of Us Part 1 and 2, and Batman: Arkham City are some of his favorites. Music plays a big part in his life as well. Given that Shane's a big horror fan, you might be surprised to learn that he's a pop guy. Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, The Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato play on repeat while he's writing. The Banshees are the new airplane," McFarlane said, talking about how exciting the Avatar figures will be to play with. Continuing to discuss the banshee's immense details, McFarlane explained how the figures change colors, include swappable heads, and can be ridden by the Na'vi figures.

The figure includes 1 of 4 pieces that when combined with the rest of The Dark Knight Trilogy Build-a line will assemble Bane As a child, Bruce Wayne™ watched as his parents were brutally killed in Gotham City’s Crime Alley™. Traumatized by their deaths, he devoted his life to becoming the world’s greatest weapon against crime—the Batman! He’s a master detective and an expert martial artist, but his greatest weapon is his mind. Batman has a plan for every occasion, as well as high-tech weapons, gadgets, and vehicles to assist him in his relentless pursuit of justice! Up next were McFarlane Toys' Super Powers line featuring retro-looking figures like Batman, Superman and Darkseid, as well as a plane for Superman with extendable, boxing-glove-like arms and the Batwing for the Caped Crusader to be placed into. "That thing is so goofy that it's awesome," McFarlane said of Superman's plane, noting how it features a cell for villains to be placed into. While Batman Begins was a critical success and a modest box office hit, nothing could prepare comic book fans for the masterpiece that was The Dark Knight. The 2008 sequel took everything that worked in the first film and cranked it up to its most brilliant potential while refining every aspect of Nolan’s craft that was deemed less than stellar. One question must be asked, though. Who approved the bios on the trading cards? Because besides the Batman one, which references his retirement between movies 2 and 3, these are not the movie biographies at all. Ledger’s Joker does not have white skin, and this Harvey Dent was not scarred by acid, but burned by fire. It’s an odd oversight for the McFarlane Dark Knight Trilogy figures. More Movie Love?
