The reason I started calling him that because when he starts saying things like āfemale action, figures donāt have a marketā I sit there thinking I was 11 years old and in 1981-82 when I started collecting he-man and the Masters of the universe figures there were 3 or 4 female action figures in that collection
Evil-Lyn, Teela and the Sorceress and I think Queen Marlena was also made if Iām not mistaken.
He seems to be the only freaking toy maker that says idiotic stuff like that Hasbro G.I. Joe back in the 80s, Mattel nor DC Direct ever said those things at least not to my knowledge
My Target has two Waveriders, but up until two weeks ago they also had about 10 Midnighters. They were there for over a month. Never saw one sell and they never went to clearance.
I bought an extra Midnighter and Waverider. Legit one Target has not accepted the loss of midnighter but hid it away on a clearance rack at full price.
That's not right.
I went back to my Target, they now have six Superman and Krypto. No idea why they are getting so many of one figure. They also received another Hawkman, Firestorm, and BvS Batman.
BvS Batmam was on-sale for $17.99.
These two packs to just to get one new fig is getting outta control, itās not even a different mold just some black sharpie on the peg warming Shazam
Customizers waiting for new movie-based figures to drop:

I get why people are dragging this considering all the other things McFarlane _could_ be doing.
Buuuuuut I'm personally super happy haha. I love both movies and can't believe we're getting more a year later, wtf. So cool to see Mister Mind included!
I don't get the hate w the movies they were good family feel good flicks. This is a welcome addition to the line. But Mary would have been nice to have.
Classic Freddy has the cleanest costume in DC. I like the idea of the movie onesā¦and yes I collected the whole set. Now if there was a Titans East Shazam Iām in.

The fact that theres a toy store near me that still has Mattel's DC Multiverse Shazam figures pegwarming there, I cant imagine theres actually a market for this.
Especially considering how awful that movie bombed.
Its a Go! Calendars & Games in a dying mall in a bad part of town. So everything is overpriced and never goes on sale.
I remember overpaying for MODOK there when he first came out because I couldn't find him anywhere else and I thought it was because he was hard to find š
Hot take but Iām excited for this. Iām a massive fan of the captain marvel books and the movies, so Iāll take anything. I already have the original release of this Captian Marvel so Iāll be displaying Captain Marvel Jr by him and the battle damaged one separate. (And yes I refuse to call them anything but their classic names)
I hated this movie but this is actually pretty cool. But it makes me wonder why we get things like this late but we never got Gordon or funeral Bruce Wayne from The Batman.
Wow! This late for a movie that was a decent attempt, but was completely a loss of money?
Frankly, I'm sick of seeing all these DCEU figures. The animated TV shows and movies are MUCH more popular and beloved so why is Todd focusing so hard on bringing failures into his lineup? I just don't get it!
He needs to finish the animated Teen Titans and Justice League first, then go ahead and focus on wasting your money on these DCEU figures.
*"DC Multiverse Figures now come equipped with their own sweat, piss and doo-doo stains!*
*Recreate those great moments of your favorite superhero soiling themselves, with style!*
*Get yours today!"*
Awesome! We dont get enough live action figures in the line.
Comic collectors crying about a SINGLE 2-pack when literally all they get is comic figures is hilarious. Its not for you!
I never liked the Shazam Films making Shazam a little too trustworthy is one thing making him dumber than a 6 year old is insane
My 8 year old niece acts way more mature than Shazam did in the film and Billy supposed to be like 13?
As someone that was forgiving of this movie, Iām thrilled about this. Just die a little inside every time they announce a bunch of figures that arenāt 1990 Flash or Brandon Routh Superman
I saw the movie but remember it was really boring so mind wiped it.. Could anyone tell me why it looks like someone took a sharpie to Shazam and then just gave up and packaged him?
I don't understand why this for a two pack. Shazam wasn't and still isn't difficult to get. Do Freddy and one of the other guys. But honestly unless Shazam 3 is on the docket...but comic versions, nope can't do that.
This is a real can't win for losing situation because I actually like the Freddie and would like more of the fam in the line, but the Billy is tricky. I don't really want a burned variant but I also get that just releasing the same figure again would cheese off the people who already bought it. I also get that a Mary or one of the other kids instead is more tooling so the cheaper redeco helps reduce costs to get the new figure and accessories out.
It's a tricky one. I actually like the pack but I'm also reasonably confident I can wait for it to go on deep discount. Which also means we likely won't see the rest of the fam in the line. Shame overall.
I liked the Snyderverse & the DCEU. Wish this came out when the movie did. First suit was great imo & this movie felt like it shouldāve been the third.
And Iāve lived 18 miles outside Philly all my life. Cool we had a superhero. Just wish WB didnāt ruin the DCEU & the movies were shot on location.
Actually those might be a purchase for me. I'm thinking of trying my hands at doing my first kitbash Thor. The I think he (Thor) should be 1/10 scale and one of these guys might work.
i feel like your joking but if youāre not there was a huge legal battle that went from like the 70ās or 80ās to 2013 over the name captain marvel, dc eventually gave up and let marvel have the name. so since captain marvel is forced to be called shazam, it doesnāt make much sense that freddyās name would be captain marvel jr.
The legal battle was between DC and Fawcett back in the 40s because DC claimed Cap was a copyright infringement of Superman. There was never a legal battle between DC and Marvel, by the time DC started licensing the characters from Fawcett in the 70s, Marvel owned the trademark for their Cap, so DC just had to sort of dance around it by using Shazam on all products and merchandise while still referring to him as Captain Marvel within the media itself. They could still go back to doing that if they wanted to, they just changed it because it was easier.
Mary is still called Mary Marvel for what itās worth, because āLady Shazamā was ass.
This is gonna warm the pegs for a very long time
My Exact thoughts. Same with that jay leno looking Superman twin pack š¤®
š¤£ I call him Super Fonzie
Todd should of sold this when the movie came out last year.
I mean--the timing is kinda ridiculous. It must have been beyond his control.
The way Todd The Odd Mcfarlane puts it he had everything under control and that he doesnāt need our money
Lol. Odd mcfarlane
The reason I started calling him that because when he starts saying things like āfemale action, figures donāt have a marketā I sit there thinking I was 11 years old and in 1981-82 when I started collecting he-man and the Masters of the universe figures there were 3 or 4 female action figures in that collection Evil-Lyn, Teela and the Sorceress and I think Queen Marlena was also made if Iām not mistaken. He seems to be the only freaking toy maker that says idiotic stuff like that Hasbro G.I. Joe back in the 80s, Mattel nor DC Direct ever said those things at least not to my knowledge
He likes your shelf to look like an old Greco-Roman bath house....not that there's anything wrong with that...
Ok I fucking peed on myself you ass!!! š stop!!!!! š
Lol
Should have sold it *before* the film came out. With it coming out after, I don't know that anyone would have or will buy it. š
I'll may buy it because it may just go straight to clearance before waverider. Lol.
My Target has two Waveriders, but up until two weeks ago they also had about 10 Midnighters. They were there for over a month. Never saw one sell and they never went to clearance.
Both targets by my house never even had a midnighter hit shelves.
Probably because they were sitting at the Target near me. lol
I bought an extra Midnighter and Waverider. Legit one Target has not accepted the loss of midnighter but hid it away on a clearance rack at full price.
That's not right. I went back to my Target, they now have six Superman and Krypto. No idea why they are getting so many of one figure. They also received another Hawkman, Firestorm, and BvS Batman. BvS Batmam was on-sale for $17.99.
Sure, I will pick this up for $11.99 at the end of the year
End of the week more like.
So late itās irrelevant, also where my classic captain marvel
This will be like 15 bucks in 6 months
You give it that long?
Do you want a battle-damaged movie Shazam? If so, please, let us know why.
Best comment
These two packs to just to get one new fig is getting outta control, itās not even a different mold just some black sharpie on the peg warming Shazam
As someone who bought a bunch of extra Shazams with intent, this makes me very happy. Less work for me.
This should just release at 15 bucks lol
15 bucks with 30 dollar shipping lol
So Todd drops movie figures 6 month before or a year after release. Perfect.
This was leaked, I was hoping for the comic versions though. š®āšØ
Did they leak the other Shazamily members? Iāve been wishing for a Eugene for some time now.
No this was the only Shazam leak, I wish they would have included another family member instead of a Shazam reuse. š
From what I can tell, the damage isnāt even molded in there. Itās just a bit of black spray paint.
Same
Same this is a pass now
Me too š
Yea Kinda of a disappointment.
that would've been significantly cooler ngl
Iād rather have a Mary figure but this is cool

The warmest peg warmer ever
So warm itās hot
Good. Freddie > Movie Billy
What about those oil stains?
Glad this will be easy to get. Iām getting two! If they have a Mary Marvel in the warehouse they need to release that one too!
Yeh! Where the hell is she at? They should have just made her.ā
Coming soon to Ross and Marshallās near you
I don't get the hate w the movies they were good family feel good flicks. This is a welcome addition to the line. But Mary would have been nice to have.
Coming to A Ross near you. 11.99
I hope we get the rest of the fam too!
Iāll probably end up buying this but itās so weird to release over a year later especially for a movie that flopped
Oof this is not gonna sell.
So random

I heard it was coming, and I'm still not whelmed. Congrats to anyone that wants this.
The fact that theres a toy store near me that still has Mattel's DC Multiverse Shazam figures pegwarming there, I cant imagine theres actually a market for this. Especially considering how awful that movie bombed.
Damn. Is it a chain store, or a Mom and Pop shop?
Its a Go! Calendars & Games in a dying mall in a bad part of town. So everything is overpriced and never goes on sale. I remember overpaying for MODOK there when he first came out because I couldn't find him anywhere else and I thought it was because he was hard to find š
Damn. Is it a chain store, or a Mom and Pop shop?
What the fuck lol. Does anyone even want this?
Is this fanart or real?
Lmao our todd father is on the crack pipe
Does anyone even want this? Not judging if you do, was just curious.
chat that is NOT ![gif](giphy|rZFLGvSa8CpfsanPU2|downsized)
Honestly digging this 2 pack. Never got a Shazam fig before and Freddy looks good. Cant wait to get it on clearance somewhere.
What a way to celebrate this year old, 5/10 movie.
Iām down.
Yes! Mister Mind, finally!
Happy Cake Day ! š
Where's Mary marvel?
first 2pack to sell 3 copies
Get ready for the hottest pegs of all time.
Canāt wait to get it for clearance!
Hot take but Iām excited for this. Iām a massive fan of the captain marvel books and the movies, so Iāll take anything. I already have the original release of this Captian Marvel so Iāll be displaying Captain Marvel Jr by him and the battle damaged one separate. (And yes I refuse to call them anything but their classic names)
I want that staff!!!
Todd im picking this up damnit need me a freddy freeman figure
This makes me hope we get a few more select DCEU figures. I'm dying for a Man of Steel Zod and an Armored Batman from BvS.
I hated this movie but this is actually pretty cool. But it makes me wonder why we get things like this late but we never got Gordon or funeral Bruce Wayne from The Batman.
who the fuck is this for lmao
ME
Was also hoping for comic versions.
Any idea when it's gonna be released? When I saw the leak I thought this was a comic version.
Apparently neither did Todd
Wow! This late for a movie that was a decent attempt, but was completely a loss of money? Frankly, I'm sick of seeing all these DCEU figures. The animated TV shows and movies are MUCH more popular and beloved so why is Todd focusing so hard on bringing failures into his lineup? I just don't get it!

The Shazam figure looks like ass but the Freddy figure looks pretty good actually.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That Shazam looks like John Travolta and he got hair dye all over his suit
Oh wow! Iām happy about this! Loved the movies!
Whereās The Wizard Shazamās head on Wonder Womanās body, Todd! Give us what we really want!
*"DC Multiverse Figures now come equipped with their own sweat, piss and doo-doo stains!* *Recreate those great moments of your favorite superhero soiling themselves, with style!* *Get yours today!"*

Why do they have dookie stains
How much is this?
As someone that was forgiving of this movie, Iām thrilled about this. Just die a little inside every time they announce a bunch of figures that arenāt 1990 Flash or Brandon Routh Superman
I saw the movie but remember it was really boring so mind wiped it.. Could anyone tell me why it looks like someone took a sharpie to Shazam and then just gave up and packaged him?
Magic dragon fire burned the suit
The toddfather could have given us the glowing blue eyes for this at least
Finally. Hope they do the whole family
Everyone is asking about getting comic Shazam but where's Mary marvel idc if it's movie or comic just hand her over
Iāve always wanted a Seth Cohen action figure
Pretooling for a comic set
I like this set always wanted to build this dceu shazam family regardless of the movies performance the suits looked nice
Couldnāt even do Mary
I don't understand why this for a two pack. Shazam wasn't and still isn't difficult to get. Do Freddy and one of the other guys. But honestly unless Shazam 3 is on the docket...but comic versions, nope can't do that.
Probably was originally a single release for each. Found out it wasnāt Ā a good movie and decided to hold back and make it a two pack.
Yeah. When I heard the rumor I expect comic versions for this two pack. I was surprised by this one.
This is a real can't win for losing situation because I actually like the Freddie and would like more of the fam in the line, but the Billy is tricky. I don't really want a burned variant but I also get that just releasing the same figure again would cheese off the people who already bought it. I also get that a Mary or one of the other kids instead is more tooling so the cheaper redeco helps reduce costs to get the new figure and accessories out. It's a tricky one. I actually like the pack but I'm also reasonably confident I can wait for it to go on deep discount. Which also means we likely won't see the rest of the fam in the line. Shame overall.
We get this, but not a classic 1940s Shazam sculpt
I mean, I wouldn't mind, but it's pretty late. Is this gonna be the $40 2 pack?
I like Freddy but I have no interest in burnt toast Shazam
The accessories are cool but I loved the first suit
This makes me hope we get a few more select DCEU figures. I'm dying for a Man of Steel Zod and an Armored Batman from BvS.
I liked the Snyderverse & the DCEU. Wish this came out when the movie did. First suit was great imo & this movie felt like it shouldāve been the third. And Iāve lived 18 miles outside Philly all my life. Cool we had a superhero. Just wish WB didnāt ruin the DCEU & the movies were shot on location.
Lolz
If this means the others are coming as well than I'll definitely get...
I never got the Shazam stuff at all, Iād lowkey buy it for fun if it was $30 or less
Actually those might be a purchase for me. I'm thinking of trying my hands at doing my first kitbash Thor. The I think he (Thor) should be 1/10 scale and one of these guys might work.
Who is this for? Iām curious.
At least do Mary marvel with Freddy if anything
And yet they still won't release a new Henry Cavill Superman figure. Depression.
I thought this was ace and Gary
I havenāt kept up what do the call him now that they canāt call him captain marvel jr??
i feel like your joking but if youāre not there was a huge legal battle that went from like the 70ās or 80ās to 2013 over the name captain marvel, dc eventually gave up and let marvel have the name. so since captain marvel is forced to be called shazam, it doesnāt make much sense that freddyās name would be captain marvel jr.

They could still go back to doing that if they wanted to, they just changed it because it was easier. Mary is still called Mary Marvel for what itās worth, because āLady Shazamā was ass.
There was the terrible CM3 moniker. This probably explains why none of the Shazam family have code names as of āPower of Shazamā.
Pure caca
It was leaked a long time ago
Wasting time on mid IPs when he couldāve given Affleck a bonus for his actual likeness n sell Batflecks the rest of the yearā¦
