DC Multiverse Superman: The Infected (Collect to Build: The Merciless) Action Figure (2020 McFarlane Toys)
For collectors chasing the finish line on McFarlane Toys' inaugural DC Multiverse Collect-to-Build wave, this is the one that completes the set. Superman: The Infected serves as figure 4 of 4 in the Merciless wave — the anchor piece required to assemble The Merciless BAF figure, making it the most in-demand entry in the entire run. Whether you're a Dark Nights: Metal enthusiast, a corrupted-hero variant collector, or a BAF builder closing out the wave, this figure earns its place at the top of the want list.
The sculpt draws directly from Scott Snyder's The Infected storyline, capturing Superman mid-corruption with a disturbing Joker-grin expression and a muted, desaturated take on his classic costume. The contrast between the recognizable S-shield and the unhinged facial sculpt makes this an immediate display standout. Source art is credited to Batman/Superman #2 (2019), giving the design strong comic-accuracy credentials that Dark Nights fans will appreciate.
This listing is for a vintage carded example presented in the original DC Multiverse window box. The black-and-blue packaging features the hang-tab, tri-lingual text (English, Spanish, French), and McFarlane's signature 22 moving parts callout prominently on the card header. The back panel displays the full Collect to Build parts diagram with pieces numbered 1–4, with this figure's BAF component — the Merciless legs — highlighted as piece #4. A 'Collect Them All' panel showcases the wave companions, and the collectible trading card (English only) is included. Card and bubble condition are consistent with vintage stock; please review the product images carefully for a first-hand assessment of the package's current state.
This wave marked McFarlane Toys' re-entry into the DC action figure market following the expiration of Mattel's DC license, and it set the tone for the DC Multiverse line that followed. The Merciless wave's tie to Metal-era storytelling has sustained collector interest well beyond its initial release, and figure 4 of 4 remains the hardest piece to source for builders completing the BAF.

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.
