Medicom Toy has officially unveiled a massive display showcasing current and upcoming DC MAFEX action figures, giving collectors a detailed look at the future of their 1/12 scale comic book and cinematic lineups. The latest event reveals span iconic storylines from Gotham City history, recent blockbuster films, and even newly launched comic book sagas.

From the debut of a brand-new Absolute Batman prototype to the continuation of classic storylines like Knightfall, Hush, and No Man’s Land, here is a complete breakdown of every DC figure displayed in Medicom’s newest showcase.

I want to give a huge shoutout to SneakyFigures on X, for getting some great shots of the figures at SDCC.

Absolute Batman Makes Its MAFEX Debut

The standout highlight of the exhibition is the first-ever unpainted prototype reveal of the Absolute Batman MAFEX figure. Based on DC Comics’ high-profile Absolute Universe series, this imposing, heavily muscular Batman sculpt captures the character’s rugged armor, spiked shoulder pauldrons, aggressive chest emblem, and massive, battle-ready cape blades. Despite being shown in gray prototype form, the sheer size and intricate texture work demonstrate Medicom Toy’s dedication to capturing modern comic designs fresh off the printed page.

Expanding the Knightfall Saga: Azrael Takes Over

Medicom continues its deep dive into 1990s Gotham lore with multiple variations of Jean-Paul Valley’s tenure as Batman. The display highlighted:

  • Batman (Knightquest): Featuring Jean-Paul Valley in his striking red-and-gold armor complete with sharp wings and arm-mounted claw slash effect pieces.
  • Batman (Knightsend): Showcasing the fully upgraded blue-and-gold metallic armor with oversized blue cape wings and multi-claw gauntlets.
  • Knight Crusader Batman & Bane: Positioned alongside previous releases, showcasing how seamless these classic Knightfall rivalry displays will look on collector shelves.

Gotham City Allies: Batgirl and Lobo Join the Lineup

DC collectors have plenty to look forward to regarding Batman’s allies and anti-heroes:

  • Batgirl (No Man’s Land Ver.): The long-awaited Cassandra Cain Batgirl figure features her full stitched leather-style cowl, yellow belt, sculpted bat-emblem outline, and signature throwing weapons.
  • Batgirl (Hush Ver.): Barbara Gordon in her classic purple-and-yellow cowl suit from the Batman: Hush line, designed to fit right in with previous Hush releases.
  • Lobo (Comic Ver.): The Main Man arrives in all his rugged glory, featuring his chain, hook, shotgun, unhinged grin, and his trusty sidekick, Dawg.

Movie Figures: Dual Batmen from The Flash

For cinematic collectors, Medicom showcased two distinct live-action Batman variants from The Flash (2023):

  • Batman (The Flash Ver.): Ben Affleck’s heavy tactical suit Batman portrayed in a dynamic mid-air grapple-launching pose, featuring textured armoring and fabric cape articulation.
  • Batman (Modern Suit): Michael Keaton’s return in the sleek, updated 1989-style suit, featuring a crisp yellow oval chest emblem, tailored black cape, and highly accurate head sculpt.
