    Any news on DC 8" releases for 2022?

    Wondering what will be the next batch of DC figs output for 2022 Wave 15 and beyond? Hope Mego puts out more DC 8" product including the Black Canary that I think was previously seen at Toy Fair a few years ago. I also hope these will be comic book based versions on the new body type.

    My money would be on Shazam and Black Adam joining the next wave on different packaging than their Topps counterparts.

      Hope not. We have enough Black Adam and Shazam megos and variations. I would like to see a new license kick in. Plenty of oldies but goodies to grab up like The Last Starfighter. Heck, stick with the same lines but add a new person: ex. Legends of Rock - Jerry Lee Lewis.
      Looking for FTC figures from 5-10 years ago

        I'm OK with this. I'd probably sell my Topps and go with these. What would really be cool to me would be versions with yellow instead of shiny gold accents ala original Mego

          Yes! I never knew as a kid that the yellow was suppose to represent gold in the comics (or maybe that is a retcon), so gold always looks wrong to me.

              Red son Superman, Batman Beyond, Deathstroke ,Flashpoint Batman and Red hood are listed for pre order for 3-25-22 release on Italian site Mondo Action figures. This info was from another post here on museum, and they also have the Topps figures .
              Mondo Action figures does carry a lot of other Megos so I hope this is legit.

                    An action figure site in Germany is taking pre orders also on limited edition Red son Superman, Batman beyond,Flashpoint Batman,Red hood, Deathstroke and all the Topps exclusives. I would hope these will be available in the U.S . They should put out the new Batman
                    movie figures also if they start following McFarlane and Spin Masters

                      The Trend masters new movie Cat woman broke out of the box. I only wanted Batman anyhow really.
                      But why can't the Megos come out when the movie comes out, whenever that is...

                        I agree. I like silver to be represented by light grey also.

                          It's odd I suppose, I like my Flash with yellow but Capt. Marvel with gold. It's an update I don't mind.

                            After all these years I would finally like to see a Dean Cain Superman.

                              Thanks for this update. Of all these I am most interested in Deathstroke. I wonder if these more modern selections are meant to serve as an alternative to their competitor that offers the more vintage 70s and 80s DC versions? In any case I wouldn't mind seeing more classic versions redone such as the recent Robin, Flash, Penguin, etc.
