I hope McFarlane goes all-in on Kingdom Come. Basic figures, Collect to Build, two-packs, Mega releases, the works!
By next year, it will have been nearly 20 years since the debut of DC Direct’s Kingdom Come line.
Given how the title has grown in popularity in the years since DCD’s run (and how much action figures have evolved since then), the time is right for a new, in-depth, plastic take on Kingdom Come.
Funny how those overseas McFarlane listing “rumors” end up true, what, 90% of the time? Not that I’m complaining. I like to know what’s coming, mainly to plan out my shelves.
My unsolicited thoughts on the latest McFarlane stuffs:
Flashpoint Aquaman
I know we talked about this one already. Truth is, I’m not the biggest fan of Flashpoint designs, so normally I would skip this. That Cyborg though. I don’t trust that we’ll be getting another comics Cyborg from McFarlane, and that one does look pretty cool. I want a Victor in my extended Justice League. Is he supposed to be that much bigger than the rest of the crew though? Torn.
Kingdom Come Batman
Looks dope and I want it. I never purchased the DC Direct version, so I’m thinking this one is a slam dunk. Also want Supes and Wondy.
Superboy
I’ve been wanting McFarlane to go all out on a Superman line. Hope this is the start. I feel a bit hypocritical, given that I never dove into Kon-El’s comics, but I guess that shouldn’t matter. It will still look good on the shelf .
