Mcfarlane Toys

Todd McFarlane's toy company making DC Multiverse figures, gaming collectibles (Fallout, Halo, Fortnite), and Spawn. Over 300 figures focused on 7-inch scale—slightly larger than standard 6-inch, allowing more sculpted detail. McFarlane built a reputation for delivering quality at mass-market prices.

The company started in the '90s with Spawn figures. Todd McFarlane revolutionized action figure detail and articulation for that era. Now they're the primary DC Comics figure manufacturer, putting out dozens of Batman variants alongside the wider DC roster. Gaming licenses bring Fallout characters, Halo Spartans, Fortnite skins to physical form.

DC Multiverse

McFarlane's DC line covers comic-accurate designs primarily. Multiple Batman suits (because it's always Batman), Superman variants, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Justice League members. Deep cuts from comic history appear regularly. These aren't movie figures—they're pulling from decades of comic art.

Gold Label editions offer better paint applications and sometimes exclusive accessories. They cost slightly more but show visible quality improvement. Platinum editions add chase variant paint schemes.

Mega figures scale up to 12 inches for vehicles and larger characters. BAF (Build-a-Figure) programs include parts to construct characters too large for standard releases.

Gaming Figures

Fallout's Movie Maniacs line brings Vault Boy, characters from the Amazon series, wasteland creatures. These lean into McFarlane's horror background—weathering, battle damage, grotesque details.

Halo and Gears of War get regular releases. Fortnite skins translate to physical figures with build-a-figure programs. The gaming licenses showcase McFarlane's range beyond superheroes.

Quality for Price

€20-30 gets you 7-inch figures with solid sculpting, decent paint, and 20+ points of articulation. Not Hot Toys quality obviously, but impressive for mass-market pricing. Some paint slop happens on cheaper releases. Gold Labels minimize that.
