McFarlane DC Direct Silver Age Joker, Crisis on Infinite Earths Robin

We have more McFarlane DC Direct releases incoming with pre-orders live as of the 12th of September for The Joker from DC: The Silver Age, a Crisis on Infinite Earths Robin from Earth-2.



Joker will feature his cane, a second pair of hands, and a further hand holding a fish. Robin will include a soft goods cape, alternative hands and an alternative head.




These are McFarlane Digital releases which means each figure also comes with a digital collectible download. They are due to ship in November 2024 and are available at McFarlane stockists. We've added these to our McFarlane Collector Database



Debuting only 11 issues after Batman, Robin quickly earned his place as an invaluable ally by proving himself in fight after fight. Unlike many characters that debuted in the Golden Age of Comics in the 1930s and 1940s, Robin’s tragic backstory has changed little in the years since, despite continuity-altering events such as Crisis on Infinite Earths. Throughout all his incarnations, Dick Grayson was the son of circus aerialists, who was adopted by Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) after his parents were killed by gangster Anthony Zucco. After years of fighting by Batman’s side, Robin eventually left the Batcave to attend college at Hudson University.



Once a small-time crook, The Joker fell into a vat of chemicals that turned his skin white, his hair green, and his lips red—like a crazed clown. His crimes always involve pranks and jokes ending with twisted punchlines that are only funny to The Joker. He may look like he’s clowning around, but this guy is bad news for Batman and Gotham City!

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
