DC Multiverse Batman (Dark Nights: Metal) Action Figure – Collect to Build: The Merciless (2020 McFarlane Toys)

For collectors who followed McFarlane Toys' return to the DC license, the Dark Nights: Metal wave occupies a special place in the line's history. Released during McFarlane's inaugural DC Multiverse rollout, this wave introduced Scott Snyder's Dark Multiverse concept to the action figure market and set the tone for what the line would become — detailed, comic-accurate, and deeply appealing to serious collectors. Years on, it remains one of the most sought-after early waves in the DC Multiverse catalog.

This listing is for Figure 2 of 4 in the Merciless Collect to Build wave — the Batman (Dark Nights: Metal) figure. The packaging is McFarlane's signature black window-box format, not a traditional blister card, presenting the figure and accessories through a large clear window. The box is in vintage condition, with the card structure, window, and printed surfaces examined firsthand: the black outer box displays sharp edges and vivid printing consistent with a well-preserved example. The window shows no significant fogging or distortion, and the box flap carries no deep creases or tears.

The figure itself depicts Batman in his grey-and-black Dark Nights: Metal suit with yellow belt and bat emblem, featuring 22 points of articulation as called out prominently on the front panel. Alongside the Batman figure, the tray contains a large two-headed war axe accessory and the two Merciless Collect to Build components — the leg and lower body BAF parts that make this piece essential for anyone assembling The Merciless. The cardback features a dramatic full-art comic illustration sourced from the Metal event series, a multilingual 'Collect Them All' section, and a BAF assembly diagram clearly highlighting piece 2. A collectible trading card is included as well.

Completing all four figures in the Merciless wave to build The Merciless BAF has driven sustained secondary-market interest in every piece, making mint-condition examples of any wave figure genuinely difficult to source. As wave piece 2, this Batman is a necessary component for BAF completionists and a strong standalone display piece for Dark Nights: Metal fans. It also serves as a foundational artifact for collectors documenting McFarlane's early DC Multiverse output.
