McFarlane DC Multiverse Deadshot & Adam Strange


I found these two McFarlane DC Multiverse figures at a Walmart around the corner from where I live and gave into their nostalgic charm. I'd seen Deadshot and Adam Strange in the wild before, as well as the variants for each. I don't buy every McFarlane I see, but these stood out as really nice with plenty of accessories.

I love the details on this Deadshot and his flat paint scheme- he looks like he walked right out of a Bronze-Age DC comic book. Deadshot has three sets of gauntlet guns, including a firing pair and smoking-barrels pair.

Adam Strange is a great looking figure with a retro Flash Gordon vibe. The figure's four faceplates add a lot of posing possibilities with other figures. His pistol sits loosely in its holster, but his gripping hand grabs it securely.

And finally, my new McFarlane figures with my 



I'm sure most reading this have by now heard the news that Mattel has regained licensing for DC figures after losing it to McFarlane Toys in 2020- this should take effect in 2026, and I'm not sure if McFarlane will make any DC product thereafter- will they still produce figures under thew DC Direct banner McFarlane resurrected? Only time will tell. I have mixed feelings about McFarlane DC Multiverse line, including limited thigh articulation, joints that pinch my fingers, and weak ankles, among other gripes. Still, there are many I've really enjoyed and there will be more I will pick up before McFarlane moves on from the DC Multiverse line.
More Later- Make It FUN!
