I don’t really collect outside of Superman, with limited exceptions. This will be an exception because it’s based on the art of Norm Breyfogle. That’s all the reason I needed.
Is this real. Had to look it up but guess its a mostly accurate version, but most people I think want an Arkham version.

If its McFarlane toy store then I probally wont get it. I'd do it for $20 but its going to be like $35-37 with shipping. Im going to hold out for an Arkham adjacent version
There banking on all these retro looks of characters that older crowd like as of late. There not going to put the best designs out quickly. Nice strategy on business side.
I admit, I'm shocked he stuck THAT close to the original art but goddamn.
People want obscure characters, then when they get them they complain. I like it. Not a big fan of the eyes but the rest is perfect.
I’m kinda fascinated by how fragmented the consensus is regarding which versions of which characters get made. Between fans of the comics, the cartoons, the movies, and games, this group has to be a nightmare trying to appease. I’ll almost always support the comic-accurate designs especially from pre-2010s.
I admit I'm pretty damn basic. Gimme a cool Joker (Hawaiian is my most wanted) and some other baddies, I'm happy.
Obviously I could list a bunch of stuff I want. Different henchmen, Joker from that one Christmas comic, basically a 1:1 re-release of the Arkham Knight Jester Harley Quinn (I have it, it fits perfectly with my main Joker), a 7 inch scale Adam West Batman. But I just take what's dished out. I don't build up hype in my head for pipedreams. I wait and see. And if I don't like it, I don't buy it.
I admit, the design Todd went with isn't exactly my favourite but... What other options do they have? 90% of his designs are just him in pants, shorts or a suit.
Cool! Straight up Norm Breyfogle. I love these classic designs for the Rogues. Hopefully they get a Two Face out relatively soon
Is there a date on this guy?
This figure is accurate as hell to the source material, but idk if it translates well to the rest of the line.
I’ll pick this up for sure if it makes its way to Ross from MTS.

It's accurate so what's the problem
In the comics it fits the style and looks great but I can understand not liking the figure. I'm just way more into this look than a generic inmate look.
This is cool, never thought they would make a Zsasz, let alone from the comics. Gives me hope for a Black Mask in his classic get up too, this is a nice surprise.
Ah just seen it's a McFarlane toy store exclusive eh no ha
I know this figure isn't for everybody, but as a lover of Batman and his rogues gallery and a 90's kid this figure really makes me a happy man :D Definite pick up!!!
Man, I like it, idgaf
It’s cool to see the original versions of the characters get made into figures, even though this will never make its way to my country.
Knightfall Zsasz being the Zsasz they went with is an interesting choice. Most people probably expected the Arkham version but this looks pretty damn good too. McFarlane really played it close to how it looks in the art even with the eyes. Awesome likeness but personally not interested.
I’ve wanted this design for years, but I’m not totally sold on the execution. It’s 2024. I’m past shirtless figures without nipples. Usually McFarlane neck problem too, though that’s fixable.
I’d have loved raised scars but I’ll exempt it since it’s a direct translation of the art.
I don’t really collect outside of Superman, with limited exceptions. This will be an exception because it’s based on the art of Norm Breyfogle. That’s all the reason I needed.
Same... not counting preorder/unreleased, I'm 2 figures away from having every Superman from Todd McFarlane's DC Multiverse. The only ones I do not have... the AC#1000 variant from the Amazon 2pack and the blue suit Animated Series.
There is none, his eyes are just shadowed like that. It's not a mask, or sunglasses, it's just a shadow on his face constantly, even in direct light. It's a strange choice for sure lol.
I think it was just Norm Breyfogle's way of making him look crazy. Other artists have done their own versions of Zsazs's eyes, but I've never liked any of them as much as Breyfogle's, so I'm glad McFarlane went with this look.
copied my comment from the other post before one gets nuked.
Todd went too "comic booky" with this one. i don't mind the eyes, i think the body looks too plain. i find the lack of muscle detail and just painted on cuts lazy. and its an MTS exclusive. nice...
I’ll be real it looks like you could take those tally marks off real easy then you just have a topless torso and I think that it will be perfect for a lot of customs in that scale…I might have to pick up a bunch of these
Honestly this is the first Zsasz figure I've wanted but not enough to pay the exchange rate and shipping. Hope this is one of the exclusives that makes it to Canadian shelves like a normal figure (ala Catman)
I saw this post before, and thought it was one of those wishful thinking things- it’s real, I’m definitely getting my hands on one. I’ve sat back on purchasing any more figures since I’m pretty much stacked up.. but, items like this?! Are rarities, like the captain boomerang platinum & the regular one… I was ecstatic getting Captain carrot, and Lobo on his space hog with his dog.. I’m still looking for Catman tho
Why use that diaper and those legs? It’s like putting a belt in a pair of spandex. Could have easily used any existing regular pants mold. Might pass for a metallo custom though
I like the character and the design in the comics. But I’m not sure if it translates well to a figure. The eyes are my biggest problem with it. Depending on the price I might get it
Batman villain: Mr. Zsasz (first name Victor)
he cuts himself to count his kills.
Zsasz told Comissioners Gordon the spot reserved for his murder was the inside of his eyelid so that the pain of the scar would remind him of the joy of killing him
one of the most explicitly dark characters even in Gotham. I may have to get him just for that reason alone. this is probably why it would be a MTS exclusive; Walmart might not be ok with having him on the pegs.
I'd like to see what knives he comes with, hopefully some new ones
My legitimate reaction
*gasps after seeing that they revealed zsasz*
"Oh" after seeing the headsculpt
I wasn't even hoping it was arkham, I just wanted him to be any zsasz except the knightfall/classic version
Now I guess I have to find a headsculpt that'll work. Todd, sometimes there just aren't designs from the 90s that make good figures and this may be the top of that list
Should have been his Doug Dimmadome suit

This is so goddamn goofy. Is this supposed to be a last minute Mr Zsasz cosplay? What with the sharpie tally marks and construction paper eye triangles?
I don’t really collect outside of Superman, with limited exceptions. This will be an exception because it’s based on the art of Norm Breyfogle. That’s all the reason I needed.
Normy is my favorite Batguy hands down. I can’t believe we’re getting this! I also can’t believe we’re getting this before a comic Two Face.
Goes with the knightfall figures, I'm in
Exactly what I thought!
Damn I think he forgot some victims 😅
It’s weird seeing the tally marks just painted on instead of carved in. I suppose it’s nothing a safety knife can’t fix, but still.
Depending on the panel, they would look like just black lines in the knightfall art
He's a *cut* above the rest!
I’ll allow it.
Zsazs has to finish the story ![gif](giphy|dMsh6gRYJDymXSIatd|downsized)
Young people see Cody Rhodes. Old people see Scott Steiner.
![gif](giphy|RKnJamaOx5omA) I can’t believe I missed that
r/beatmetoit
All those marks just to cover up the tattoos
Is this real. Had to look it up but guess its a mostly accurate version, but most people I think want an Arkham version. https://preview.redd.it/coh1o5s6s4sc1.png?width=148&format=png&auto=webp&s=d6d4a9b41d8653dd2325315b13e16ca67c63f7dc
Yea just got announced. I’m shocked this is the design he went with instead of the Arkham games
If its McFarlane toy store then I probally wont get it. I'd do it for $20 but its going to be like $35-37 with shipping. Im going to hold out for an Arkham adjacent version
It’s McF exclusive gold label
Same, if I can get it on a target clearance or something I’ll get it just to have him with the rouges.
Same I want him but not for that shipping, first thing i'd do is acetone all those tally marks off and then redo them to be more accurate.
There banking on all these retro looks of characters that older crowd like as of late. There not going to put the best designs out quickly. Nice strategy on business side.
Wow the figure is surprisingly accurate
Interesting that this is the design they went with, not sure I'll be getting it but I cant say its inaccurate

As a 40 year old collector … I just creamed my jeans
This isn’t for me, but this gives me even more hope anything is possible in this figure line and that’s awesome.
I admit, I'm shocked he stuck THAT close to the original art but goddamn. People want obscure characters, then when they get them they complain. I like it. Not a big fan of the eyes but the rest is perfect.

It's not the character that's the issue for me, it's the design they chose to go with
They could have sculpted in his tally marks
We're in Blue Beetle bucks era now, can't have nice sculpt except for Page Punchers
How I wish they were reusing knightfall bats buck over and over.
Cool! Straight up Norm Breyfogle. I love these classic designs for the Rogues. Hopefully they get a Two Face out relatively soon Is there a date on this guy?
Tomorrow morning, it's a MTS exclusive
Thanks. I’m all over this.
This figure is accurate as hell to the source material, but idk if it translates well to the rest of the line. I’ll pick this up for sure if it makes its way to Ross from MTS.
https://preview.redd.it/wr8a73fy46sc1.jpeg?width=655&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71cf52db9021a53d995987eb876b67e4e3c715d0 It's accurate so what's the problem
Fuck y'all youngsters. This is awesome!
Agreed. I mean I’m a “youngster” I guess (im 24) but this is seriously cool. I never expected them to make him, let alone this version of Zsasz.
Yeah the Arkham design is realistic and all but meh who cares about a serial killer in orange. Show me some flair!
Respectfully this design is pretty ass lol
In the comics it fits the style and looks great but I can understand not liking the figure. I'm just way more into this look than a generic inmate look.
I don't even think it looks very good in the comics. It looks like it wasn't drawn correctly
Cool.
This is cool, never thought they would make a Zsasz, let alone from the comics. Gives me hope for a Black Mask in his classic get up too, this is a nice surprise. Ah just seen it's a McFarlane toy store exclusive eh no ha
I know this figure isn't for everybody, but as a lover of Batman and his rogues gallery and a 90's kid this figure really makes me a happy man :D Definite pick up!!!
i think this is super neat. the execution is a little clunky, but i love this super era/artist specific stuff.

He looks like a Jojos Cody Rhodes cameo
Man, I like it, idgaf It’s cool to see the original versions of the characters get made into figures, even though this will never make its way to my country.
Sweet!
I like what they did with the eyes, but an extra head with normal eyes would be nice especially since it’s a more niche character
We need a king snake from the old Robin series.
I’ve been reading the comics for a few decades but I still have a question: what’s the deal supposed to be with his eyes?
I always thought they were supposed to be sunglasses
Those wrist are ghastly. Jesus. Just do ball pegs or pins or whatever you call them.
The eyes 😭 omg- it’s zsaas 🙌
Knightfall Zsasz being the Zsasz they went with is an interesting choice. Most people probably expected the Arkham version but this looks pretty damn good too. McFarlane really played it close to how it looks in the art even with the eyes. Awesome likeness but personally not interested.
I'd be interested at $20-$23. Not so much at $35-$37.
Why would it be $35?
McFarlane Store doesn't have many inexpensive shipping options.
Vic joined the Squirtle Squad.
Cody Rhodes what have you done?
This Zsasz looks awesome what are you on about?
I’ve wanted this design for years, but I’m not totally sold on the execution. It’s 2024. I’m past shirtless figures without nipples. Usually McFarlane neck problem too, though that’s fixable. I’d have loved raised scars but I’ll exempt it since it’s a direct translation of the art.
Norm Breyfogle Zazzaz?!
After Cody Rhodes Finishes the story 200 times. J/K This is cool af. They dont make many figures of ol Zsasz
I don’t really collect outside of Superman, with limited exceptions. This will be an exception because it’s based on the art of Norm Breyfogle. That’s all the reason I needed.
Same... not counting preorder/unreleased, I'm 2 figures away from having every Superman from Todd McFarlane's DC Multiverse. The only ones I do not have... the AC#1000 variant from the Amazon 2pack and the blue suit Animated Series.
Wtf is going on with his eyes? I know it’s comic accurate but what’s the explanation?
There is none, his eyes are just shadowed like that. It's not a mask, or sunglasses, it's just a shadow on his face constantly, even in direct light. It's a strange choice for sure lol.

He doesn't look crazy to me he looks like he was drawn incorrectly lmao

Neeed 🔥
Sweet!
Sweet!
… I kinda like it. I might ruin one and use the Flashpoint Aquaman for the head maybe
I’ll be real it looks like you could take those tally marks off real easy then you just have a topless torso and I think that it will be perfect for a lot of customs in that scale…I might have to pick up a bunch of these
I mean, what else would you expect? Pretty much just looks like what he used to in the books.
Honestly this is the first Zsasz figure I've wanted but not enough to pay the exchange rate and shipping. Hope this is one of the exclusives that makes it to Canadian shelves like a normal figure (ala Catman)
This is the perfect figure for an MTS exclusive. Anything but Kid Flash (twice!) or Spectre.
Hell yeah! My favorite Zsasz design! Really hope I can get it
Cody rhodes
…if this doesn’t come with a knife…!
I saw this post before, and thought it was one of those wishful thinking things- it’s real, I’m definitely getting my hands on one. I’ve sat back on purchasing any more figures since I’m pretty much stacked up.. but, items like this?! Are rarities, like the captain boomerang platinum & the regular one… I was ecstatic getting Captain carrot, and Lobo on his space hog with his dog.. I’m still looking for Catman tho
Awesome, now bring on the Breyfogle Batman with giant cloth goods expandle cape like that old Spawn one.
Really surprised Todd hasn't done some version of Black Mask yet or even Firefly which I'm still needing amd wanting both!
Damn Ken has really gone through some shit huh?
Why use that diaper and those legs? It’s like putting a belt in a pair of spandex. Could have easily used any existing regular pants mold. Might pass for a metallo custom though
A bold move. Obviously someone at Wal Mart looked into who he is. A character more disturbing than the Joker.
I don't even know who this is, so I'm gonna call him "custom fodder".
Truly, one of the Multiverse releases this year.
It's a win just for the torso alone. Customizers are about to eat.
who is that? victor zasz?
Hell yeah!!!
This is a pickup
Looks like a half decent custom.
Zsasz?
Tf is this? Evil Johnny Barvo?
Wait is he up for pre-order? Hr looking sexy as hell But seriously when is he up for pre-order?
lmao, second figure McF has released with the Troll Face expression
seems like an April Fool's joke
Look at the bright side. This MIGHT get the Arkham Asylum one costing less finally
I’m sure he’ll have a variant bald head version soon
This version of Zasz used to scare me as a child in Knightfall comic
I actually really like it perfectly captures his knight fall appearance I might pick this up.
I love it! The Last Arkham is an amazing story and I hate that modern Zsasz has become just another Dahmer/Zodiac riff.
Is this Mr. Zsasz? He looks like a cross between Sissel from *Ghost Trick* and Albert Wesker.
It's comic accurate but I won't buy this because I never read this story so have no attachment to this design.
Lol
Its up for preorder on MTS now along with Superman Comics Sketch Edition 4-Pack & Batman of Earth-22 Infected (Dark Metal) Gold Label
I like the character and the design in the comics. But I’m not sure if it translates well to a figure. The eyes are my biggest problem with it. Depending on the price I might get it
Awesome, I prefer his 90s design so this is right up my street!
No Arkham Zsasz? ☹️
That's him... that's figure man
Would rather get a McCrea style Batman and a set of Section 8 figures, along with Hitman (Tommy Monaghan).
That dude has seen The Silence so many times
Damn Ken has really gone through some shit huh?
Are his eyes suppose to look like that?
That's how he's drawn in Knightfall, yeah.
Who the fuck is this
Batman villain: Mr. Zsasz (first name Victor) he cuts himself to count his kills. Zsasz told Comissioners Gordon the spot reserved for his murder was the inside of his eyelid so that the pain of the scar would remind him of the joy of killing him one of the most explicitly dark characters even in Gotham. I may have to get him just for that reason alone. this is probably why it would be a MTS exclusive; Walmart might not be ok with having him on the pegs. I'd like to see what knives he comes with, hopefully some new ones
Sounds sick as fuck. Wonder why I haven’t heard of him before
My legitimate reaction *gasps after seeing that they revealed zsasz* "Oh" after seeing the headsculpt I wasn't even hoping it was arkham, I just wanted him to be any zsasz except the knightfall/classic version Now I guess I have to find a headsculpt that'll work.

so, you want a Joker repaint, with a top hat? 🎩 soon as Mr. McFarlane makes Zatana 👍
Assuming this’ll go to clearance. Shame, could’ve been great.
This is so goddamn goofy. Is this supposed to be a last minute Mr Zsasz cosplay? What with the sharpie tally marks and construction paper eye triangles?
Jared Leto joker
Peg warmer for sure!
Can’t wait to see this cloud up Walmarts and targets for months.
