New York Comic Con (NYCC) was this past weekend, and I was forewarned by Booster booster Pigeon that I should keep my eyes out for news from Mattel. That's how I discovered that Mattel announced three distinct lines of DC Comics figures coming in 2027.

According to Toy News International, the Premier Series will be figures with basic articulation, the Legacy Collection will be slightly more articulated with more accessories, and the Ultimate Edition will have all the bells and whistles. All will all be 6.5" scale, which is slightly smaller than the 7" McFarlane DC Multiverse line of the past six years (but larger than the 6" Mattel figures that came before).

Now, given that this is a Booster Gold website, what do you think I'm going to tell you next?

Pigeon points us to DC Collectors.com, which reports that early leaks of upcoming figures on online retailer listings included one "DC Legacy Collection Justice League Unlimited Booster Gold (Item No.: 107-JRH81)."

Before you get too excited by this rumor, know that I Googled this supposedly leaked information to see what else I could find out about it, and Google Gemini flatly confirmed it. Given how often Google Gemini is correct, that can only mean this is pure hallucination and no such toy is planned or will ever exist.

Hubba, hubba, hubba! Money, money, money! Who do you trust?

Thanks for the warning, Pigeon. The figures that Mattel showed off at NYCC look great, and it can only be a matter of time before they make a Booster Gold figure (preferably with the high collar). I'm sure we'll all be keeping eyes out for it.
