Collectors of the McFarlane DC Multiverse figures will know that the McFarlane team are blocked, by Warner Brothers, from including any firearms in the set. That has led to some strange releases such as Red Hood without guns, or a Penguin without an umbrella gun.
McFarlane have now confirmed a workaround for collectors with the release of the first McFarlane munitions accessory set. This is badged as outside the DC and Warner Bros. licenses, but of course, is scaled to work perfectly well with all 7-inch scaled figures.
The set features 15 weapons in all ranging from handguns to assault rifles and a rocket launcher. It will retail in the US at $14.99 and will ship in July. At the moment it is listed only as a McFarlane Store exclusive. UK collectors, and those in other territories, will have to wait to see if the local distributor - in our case Bandai UK - is able to distribute the item.
McFarlane Toys Store Online Exclusive. Includes 15 different weapons. This online exclusive accessory pack is compatible with 7in McFarlane Toys Figures. Featured in McFarlane Toys window box packaging.

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...
