Im so glad they were released as a two pack. Sweetest bromance in comics. And one of thw times batman got punched that even he thought 'yeah... I deserved that.'
Can't wait to open my set! I still would have loved to have gotten the DC Icons version that DC Collectibles cancelled back in the day, but this set is still welcome. Thanks, McFarlane--but I'm still waiting for Parallax to become readily available on Walmart's site.
Brad, I always try to remember what a difference one letter can make; as in “cough” and “bough”; or “art” and “fart”- two words you mentioned at the beginning of this video. So, I understand the deeper meaning you were trying to get across. Thank you for that.
Immediately pre-ordered this set. I don't collect this line, and I don't intend to start now, but I make an exception for these two. I'm in the same boat with Funko pops. I don't collect them, but I have Booster and Beetle.
Love these guys! I would've preferred a collared Booster Gold, the glasses and lenses to be transparent, and maybe include their couch instead of whatever that base is supposed to be. But, this is a great example of McFarlane really stepping out into the awesome B listers that hardcore fans love. When you have a million Batmans, Supermans, and Jokers, it's fantastic to see the manufacturer dive into lesser known characters.
Hi Brad buddy..those faces really gets you in the mood..hopefully i can find ones with slightly better face paint. Yeah i am liking this as those dudes really looks like they burst out from the panels of our beloved comics.
I got my two pack from McFarlane toys directly and posted my review of them on my channel, unfortunately it seems my Blue Beetle figure's shoulder joint wasn't made or put in properly because there's a weird piece of plastic in there that's stopping it from moving. It's really weird, I've never seen anything like it before. I also ordered a Nekron figure but they didn't send it along with the two pack, I was pretty disappointed because I was kinda looking forward to the Nekron figure more. But I emailed McFarlane toys customer service and they're sending me a Nekron and a replacement two pack, hopefully I get those and there's nothing wrong with any of them, fingers crossed! And yeah, the back of the crotch pieces on my figures are kind of weird too, but they look fine from the front, definitely happy with how they look, need more classic figures like this from this line for sure!
Wait a minute! You said that this was the 2nd time that McFarlane used this body mold and that it we would see it later... But you didn't show it. So, who was the first?
I don´t think that selling these kind of 2 packs is a good idea. Sure, in the comics they´re best friends and, most probably, the person that likes one character may like the other. But, what if that´s not the case? What of someone just wants one? Or can juts afford one for the time being? If anything, McFarlane should have released this pack with all the Extras included (and maybe more) as an incentive and still release them individually with less stuff for the people that may just want one character or doesn´t care for the accesories and can buy him/them cheaper. If anything, this shows that we´ll finally start getting figures outside of Batman and Superman. And while I made my point regarding a 2 pack...Imagine a 2 pack of Fire and Ice. Now, that´s a pack that should exist as I don´t think anyone would just want to get 1 of them and would make for better sales.
The opaque goggles on Blue Beetle is a deal breaker for me. They are never opaque. I guess that's why I don't collect McFarlane Toys. Either terrible sculpts or he can't get details right like this.
Got Peacemaker, now we're getting Blue Beetle. We really need a The Question figure for the Charlton Comics roster
Booster Gold my beloved.
Thanks

Such a great set! Love the photo of Booster holding Skeets in his hand!
1:02 love that sound

Man, that icons set looked so good. Loved all the alternate parts and accessories.

Blue and Gold!!
Yeah, transparent goggles would have been ideal

Just picked this up at Target for 20 bucks. Glad I waited
It comes with a Skeets? That's amazing.

Fantastic work by McFarlane
I don't currently own any Beetle & Booster figures so this is a must buy for me! Need some blue & gold in the collection.
This duo are the best
Nicely done
Like the gold one
I'm cutting way back, but I will have my Booster Gold. The comedy JL is still the greatest era.
Was hoping they were already out. was gonna be the one reason to go out today. But since it's not out I don't have to leave and jusr preorder it
The DC Direct Booster Gold is from the 52 Series.
Pre-order secured!

I miss your news videos. Also I hope you do a Super Powers Collection video at some point. They are pretty neat
I need this set. I've been wanting a Booster since last year
Nice review , thx

Really bummed the goggles aren't clear.
good set, heads looks proportion to their bodies- hope that will be the size for other incoming figures in this line - cool review
I really wanted a color scheme like the metallic DCUC version for Booster Gold. :(
*Finally* they made it look exactly like the comics
Though I have not picks I may get them cause I love that duo lol
I think the new flash figure is using this body mold
I love these characters
Cool figures😁

I think he was wrong.
This is the one thats going to make me break my "only buy figs with a decent reduction ? Lol,its been hard ,but i have to get this?
Shiny gold variant later. Yellow first though. DC Direct Booster was incredibly fragile.
Which Direct?

Shocked you didn’t use a Martian Manhunter to recreate the chase scene lol

If Marvel Legends can do translucent goggles for Speedball, then Mcfarlane has no excuse.
He did it on the Hazmat Batman. Its a stylistic choice, not one due to lack of ability. Or maybe its a budget choice. We really dont know.
Not a big fan of Booster's diaper. McFarlane needs to get away from those. It just looks really obvious without a belt.
I'm starting to get really happy about McFarlane toys. As the Marvel Legends output has been Meh...
they really need to move away from pins, everyone else has
RAD
I'd love to own these, but damn Toddy Mac had to make his figures 7 inches...
Foul! That's not the JLI Booster.
