DC Multiverse Batman Duke Thomas (Tales from the Dark Multiverse) Action Figure (2022 McFarlane Toys)
Duke Thomas holds a genuinely unique place in DC history — one of the first Black characters to formally take on the Batman mantle, rooted in Scott Snyder's sprawling Dark Nights: Metal mythology. This McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse figure translates his 'Tales from the Dark Multiverse' appearance into three-dimensional form, making it a standout piece for completionists working through the Metal story arc as well as collectors focused on meaningful representation across the DC character roster.
This is a vintage example of the figure, presented in its original McFarlane DC Multiverse window-box packaging. The black box is structurally sound, and the large front blister window is clear and intact, allowing a full view of the figure and its signature accessory without opening the package. The header card carries the 'Batman Duke Thomas / Tales from the Dark Multiverse' designation, and the spine repeats the full title alongside the DC Multiverse logo. Packaging shows age-appropriate wear consistent with a vintage collectible; condition details are reflected in the product grade stored in our metafields.
The figure itself delivers McFarlane's characteristic comic-accurate sculpt work, capturing Duke's distinctive Dark Multiverse Batman armor — the layered chest plating, elongated cowl, orange utility belt buckle, and the blue-outlined bat symbol on the chest are all rendered with precision. With 22 points of articulation across the body, the figure supports a wide range of dynamic display poses. The standout accessory is the battle-axe/guitar hybrid weapon, a direct tie to the Dark Multiverse storyline and one of the more unusual and display-worthy accessories in the entire DC Multiverse line.
As a deeper-cut character release compared to mainline Batman variants, this figure saw comparatively limited retail distribution during its original run — it was never a pegwarmer, and finding a complete vintage example in presentable packaging takes genuine searching. Whether you're building a comprehensive Dark Nights: Metal shelf or specifically collecting significant DC character milestones, this is a piece that earns its place. Sold as-is; we encourage questions about condition prior to purchase and stand behind our first-hand assessments.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.
