This is a bit off topic, but does anyone know why some of the DC stuff that was on DC Universe didn't migrate over to HBO Max? I wanted to watch Lois & Clark (from the '90s, not Superman and Lois), but it's not on any streaming services now.
Back on topic, I was at Walgreens yesterday, and there was a McFarlane Red Hood figure, except in the package was The Drowned. I checked the top, and it looks like it was maybe opened and swapped because the sticker looked loose. I hate when people do that.

My wife found the McFarlane Dark Father BAF set minus Wonder Woman today while she was out with our daughter. And I just ordered Wonder Woman from Amazon and she should be here Tuesday. I also picked up the Wonder Woman variant in Dr Fate’s helmet at Target.

You know I never liked the packaging change of Hasbro's TRU exclusive 4 packs

While I'm on the subject of TRU exclusive 4 packs I have to say the laziest one they made was Girls of Gotham City. Every single figure in that 4 pack was a straight up re release. I'm glad we got to get figures such as Alfred, Ventriloquist and Scarface. Talia. a proper Ra's Al Ghul, an updated Poison Ivy and Commissioner Gordon.

The TRU packs were cool, as were the other multipacks they did, but I feel like they were mostly too late in the line, if I'm remembering correctly. Even to a young me, they seemed like repaint packs to save on costs. The ones that had new sculpts weren't worth getting two or three figures you already had.

I found these in the drawer of a desk we (I) haven’t used since we got rid of our home computer years ago. Man I miss the magazines.

It was like finding gold when I'd find one of those at the book store. I think when they stopped printing them was when I stopped looking at magazine racks.

Even to a young me, they seemed like repaint packs to save on costs. The ones that had new sculpts weren't worth getting two or three figures you already had. I know what you mean. They kept making them long after The New Batman Adventures went off the air. At least we got a proper Ra's Al Ghul figure, which is way better than the one that was a huge shelfwarmer back in the 90s. A properly colored Bruce Wayne figure in the Puppets of Crime 4 Pack A slight Recolor of the Robin from Batman TAS in the Revenge of the Penguin one. As for the repainted Batman figures I mostly tossed those aside If I recall correctly, the New figures that were introduced in the 4 packs were Lois Lane Alfred Ventriloquist and Scarface Updated Batgirl Talia Al Ghul Commissioner Gordon Updated Poison Ivy

I'm glad they released them somehow. I wonder why they didn't try to keep the lines going with single releases of those characters/figures or why they didn't do them from the start. The Batman/Superman gimmick figures were too important to execs, I guess. Such a shame.

I just thought of this yesterday. Hasbro never made a Batman Beyond 4 Pack.
