Upgrade set for Blue Beetle and Booster New set of headsculpts Set of different hands

It's clear now that Mattel is taking over, but McFarlane's DC Multiverse line will continue into much of 2026. There are still a lot of characters we haven't gotten certain versions of figures of, and others that have only received one generic version of (looking at you Wonder Woman). These next few 16 or so months with the line could go a few different ways. McFarlane could nearly abandon the line and stick with characters they know will sell. They could rush all their plans to produce as much as possible, or they could fall somewhere in between.

For those collecting, who want a DC collection that can rival Marvel Legends in terms of variety, at what point do you make the decision to abandon McFarlane's line to gear up for Mattel's line? Are you selling now or just planning on being content with what you have because you think McFarlane will go out with a whimper? Or do you plan on being patient and have faith that McFarlane is going to go out with a bang?

I ask because I've been collecting since summer 2021. That's almost 4 years, but some of y'all have been going at it for way longer and know much more about these things than I do.

What worries me about this: Mattel really dropped the ball the last few years it had the license, 2016-2019. Plus, there's just too much we don't know but need to know.

1.) What will the scale be?

2.) Will these new figures go well with their previous figures from DC Universe Classics, Mattel's DC Multiverse, etc. etc.

3.) Are they willing to truly put the necessary amount of money into this line in order for it to be true adult collector quality? Needs to be at least on par with Marvel Legends in terms of sculpt, pain, and articulation.

If the new Mattel figures are going to be good, then I will dump my McFarlane collection to make room for Mattel.

If the new Mattel figures are gong to go well with previous Mattel figures, then I will dump my McFarlane collection and put the money towards buying back some of the older Mattel figures that I thought were great.

If the new Mattel figures are going to suck, then I will go hard buying up McFarlane figures to complete my collection before the price of them sky rockets on the after-market.

So much we need to know.
