Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse figures based on Peacemaker (HBO Max)
Kicking off 2022 for the DCEU was Peacemaker, and with it being over I can say I'm really happy to be a DC fan. The show was very funny, took its serious moments seriously, and just acted as a great extension of the DC world with plenty of references, great new characters, and definitely a warranting of action figures from Mcfarlane! They've been covering all the recent DC movies that have been coming out; however, seemed to have skipped over this HBO Max show which is a real shame, because I can think of 5 great examples of action figures that can be made based off of HBO Max's Peacemaker!
!SPOILERS!
At this point it is safe to say that Mcfarlane loves his alternate head sculpts to sell multiples of the same basic figure. We've got a Peacemaker based on The Suicide Squad already, and from the neck down his costume is the exact same as the figure we've got already. It's the helmets where things start to get interesting, and there's at least three new helmets that Peacemaker wears throughout the series that could be put to use with the sonic boom helmet being a biggie. Another must have accessory from the show too would be his Peacemaker-themed shield from the finale!
A great final episode cameo appearance saw the freaking Justice League stopping by, with Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa returning to reprise their roles as Flash and Aquaman! It was so much fun and while we essentially have the Flash, Superman, and Wonder Woman seen in the show in figure form thanks to Mcfarlane's past offerings, Aquaman's design was based on his orange and green suit acquired in the Aquaman movie, which does not have a figure yet! With Aquaman getting another movie later this year I have little doubt that we we'll be getting an orange suited DCEU Aquaman figure soon, meaning this is a slot in the list likely to get checked off soon!
One of the three big costumes characters added to the DC movie universe in this series was the pint sized Judomaster who handed nearly every character in the series their butt with ease. His fight scenes were some of the most entertaining, aided in part by his small stature which was a great contrast to Peacemaker's giant stature.
I am a huge fan of the JSA in the comics and all of their villains, and while I know the show is pulling more from the Suicide Squad's usage of White Dragon from the comics I am still really excited to have this controversial character brought to life in a DC live action media source! It was perfect as well that he was Peacemaker's father, and their eventual showdown was one of the highlights for the series for me, as well as the set up that Peacemaker will now be hallucinating his father which pulls directly from Peacemaker's own four issue comic series!
This is the stand out that everyone has been talking about since the show aired. Vigilante's comedy and pure drawing of attention has made his the breakout hit of the series and one that fans have been clambering for already to be made by Mcfarlane in their DC Multiverse line! I am fully on that train as well putting him at number one on this list, as Vigilante is for sure one of the best new DCEU characters from the show and would be a fantastic pairing piece for Peacemaker's figure!
