"APES TOGETHER, STRONG!"
And I made a custom Tawky Tawny! He's a kitbash between the McFarlane Murray Franklin and Icon Heroes' Zoo Jitsu tiger.
More official images of wave 1 DC Core, including good looks at the accessory sprues. Reportedly, the line should start hitting retailers in the next week and a half (likely co-shipping with Mattel's big MOTU push)

It's a weird thing. These are Mattel's replacements for SpinMaster's kid's stuff. They have to wait until 2027 to roll out their collector stuff that will replace McFarlane's DC lines.More official images of wave 1 DC Core, including good looks at the accessory sprues.

So while these will be a decent "first look" at Mattel's new DC direction, well... anyone who's messed around with their WWE stuff knows how their "tiered" lines work and there's going to be a lot of stuff in these early releases that will not translate into the collector line coming next year.
If I had to venture a guess... it looks like the capes on these releases aren't wired. I'd suspect their collector-aimed stuff will be wired like we've seen from NECA and McFarlane for years now, with even Hasbro getting in on it recently. We can also see that these releases don't have ankles, which is fine for a cheap kids line, but I expect something akin to WWE Elite's articulation suite for their eventual DC collector stuff. Which would be fine by me, as that's generally a very solid layout.
Which Robin is that?
I think it's supposed to be Dick Grayson, circa the new-ish "World's Finest" comic.
It's a comic set in the past. And they retconned him into wearing pants, but kept the booties. And gave him Tim's sharper R-symbol. The toy doesn't have the red "coat tails" below the belt, but that might just be for practical or cost-saving reasons.
I'll admit, though, the toy does make for a passable Jason Todd, just from the smirk.

"Alright, Joker... is that a gun in your pants, or are you happy to see me?"
"Would you believe both?"
So seeing as this Joker is based off of Kenner's Joker with face changing action...KennerXMcFarlane Time!
"The name's Joe. Joe Kerr."
Not bad for $3 each...
EEEVVVVIIIILLLLL Batmen!
Ooh, Sunsoft NES Batman!
A bit happier than I remember, though.

Something you may be interested in. So apparently there was a leak list of EVERYTHING McFarlane Toys is planning to release in their DC line before their licence runs out, and Matt Fraction's Batman is on it.
Too early to confirm, but the whispers are out there.

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out. Assuming it doesn’t sell out instantly
But I’m also a man of simple tastes (probably why I like Fraction’s run! Heyo!), which is why I was a bit disappointed at how close the Mattel Core figure is to being what I’d be completely satisfied with, especially at $12 (compared to the $25+ of McFarlane).
I can't shake the feeling that Mattel is going to launch their collector's line in 2027 with both an Absolute and Fraction Batman. Two Batmen may be a bit much, but "too much Batman" has been a mantra with DC lines since forever. And with the comics popping off like they are, it's probably easier to justify.Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out. Assuming it doesn’t sell out instantly
