Blame WB. They have a new mandate where they don’t want their characters promoted with weapons so toy companies that deal with there properties have had their hands tied (blame some WB exec wanting to go WOKE). It’s also why the unmasked Red Hood didn’t come with his pistols that were included in his first release. Peacemaker and Bloodsport both have trigger fingers, so it’s likely McFarlane planned to give them their weapons in the early stages of development before WB made this mandate late-last year. What about all those Mortal Kombat characters using guns like Jax, Cassie Cage, Erron Black? I guess McFarlane wont be making any figures of them, or at least any accurate ones. He can make them but he just can’t give them guns. It’s stupid but what else can he do? I don’t even think he can give them guns molded into the holsters.

Here’s a link below from earlier this year discussing some of the DC figures affected by this (across multiple companies). www.google.com/amp/s/www.toyfarce.com/news/dcwarner-remove-guns-toys-protest%3fformat=amp[\link]

Man, is he actually going to make a Sonya in the MK line? Feels like that line is F'N dead with how slow they've come out. Her and Cassie are main story characters. He got the license but seems like nobody over there played the game.
I finally got one of the Mcfarlane figures, though. Bought the Peacemaker with no BAF parts for $16 shipped. I like it. It's better than I expected. I'm still not buying anything else from this line unless they make Titans figures from the show, or the off chance they revisit the original Batman films. At which point, I'll buy them all. I did pre-order that Snyder Cut Solar Suit Superman, but I ended up canceling it since the likeness seemed off.

Kotal Khan was just announced, but I’m with yah that sadly the MK line is not a main priority for Todd. I’d love a Sonya, but her and any character that uses firearms as a main weapon may be on the back burner with WBs current BS “no guns with our merchandise” mandate. They can make the characters, but without their signature weapons what’s the point.

I found Batman Bendyfigs today at walmart. This was the first I had heard about these. Anyone here own any of them? I'm assuming they are better quality bend-em type figs for the price point.

Any pics? I didn't buy it so no loose pictures, but I did take a picture of it at the store to remind me to look them up later. They come with stands which is nice because I have a lot of bend type figures that I have to awkwardly display by leaning them against something.

I purchased another of the McFarlane Justice League SDCC Exclusive Darkseid today. I used my $20 rewards to get it for half price.

Looks like Amazon will be missing another delivery date. My two McFarlane Green Lantern (Hal) vs Dawnbreaker 2-Packs were supposed to arrive tomorrow. But they still haven’t shipped and no funds have been taken yet.
