McFarlane Toys has debuted new DC Direct Page Punchers, which comes complete with both an action figure and a comic book for $9.99.
Currently available for pre-order on the McFarlane Toys website, Page Punchers come with a comic book and a 3-inch or 7-inch action figure. "Packaged with a single-issue comic, the fully articulated figures are expertly detailed and faithfully channel the character designs from 2D illustration into 3D figural form," McFarlane Toys' website said of the product. Todd McFarlane also posted a video on Instagram further introducing fans to Page Punchers. "The great thing about it? [It's] $9.99...the fun thing about it is you get a figure and you get a comic book in there."
The first wave of Page Punchers available for fans to purchase includes three-inch figures of Black Adam (based on his Endless Winter look and comes with Black Adam: Endless Winter Special #1), Batman (based on his Batman: Hush look and comes with Batman #608), Superman (based on his DC Rebirth era look and comes with 2016's Superman #1) and Flash (based on his Flashpoint look and comes with Flashpoint #1). Each figure has five points of articulation to punch and kick.
McFarlane Toys obtained the rights to continue the fan-favorite DC Direct collectible line last year. Some of the company's recent DC output includes figures of Batman, Catwoman, the Penguin, the Riddler from Warner Brothers' The Batman, a line based on the 2019 DCeased miniseries by writer Tom Taylor and artists Trevor Hairsine and Stefano Guadiano, a figure of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's the Batman Who Laughs and more. McFarlane Toys also recently announced a Munitions Pack accessory, which comes with 15 different firearms ranging from a Tommy gun to a grenade launcher that collectors can equip their seven-inch figures with.
"It's interesting when you're doing something from a movie," McFarlane told CBR in March about the DC Direct statues. "There are two goals. One, get it accurate. That's 90% of it; you've got to get it accurate. The other piece makes it dynamic and interesting while sitting up on the shelf. People over the years have said, "Man, look at how good you got that likeness!" Well, it should look exactly like what you're looking at! That's much different than when you're doing an interpretation of a drawing from a comic book or even a character who's been around for 30 years. Now you're amalgamating all these different visuals from TV or movies or video games. They have a very specific look that people are drawn to, and our goal is to make sure we get them right."
