McFarlane – King Shark™ (Gold Label) [WITHOUT BOX]

Description

The McFarlane Toys King Shark is a highly detailed and imposing action figure based on the character’s appearance in the movie The Suicide Squad (2021). The figure is part of McFarlane’s DC Multiverse line, known for its large-scale, intricate sculpts.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the product features:

1. Character and Design:

• Movie-Accurate Likeness: The figure is a faithful representation of Nanaue, the King Shark from the film. The sculpt captures his unique combination of a childlike innocence in his expression and a terrifying, brute-like physical form.
• Detailed Sculpting: The figure’s body is sculpted with a high level of detail, including realistic skin texture, prominent gills on his neck and shoulders, and a powerful, muscular physique that accurately reflects the character’s CGI design from the movie.
• Iconic Attire: King Shark is featured in his simple, white-and-black striped prison shorts, which are sculpted with folds and wrinkles to create a realistic look.

2. Scale and Articulation:

• Megafig Scale: This figure is part of the “Megafig” sub-line, meaning it is significantly larger than the standard 7-inch DC Multiverse figures. This larger scale is designed to match the character’s imposing size in the film, making him stand out in a collection.
• Ultra Articulation: The figure is designed with McFarlane’s “Ultra Articulation” system, featuring up to 22 moving parts. While this provides a decent range of motion for posing the upper body, the lower body articulation, particularly in the knees, is noted by some reviewers as being somewhat limited due to the sculpt’s design.
• Articulated Jaw: A standout feature is the articulated jaw, which can be opened and closed to allow for a variety of expressive poses, from his typical blank stare to a menacing bite.

3. Accessories and Packaging:

• Included Accessories: The figure typically comes with a couple of accessories, most notably one or two interchangeable hands or an accessory that can be held.
• Display Stand: A simple display base is included to provide stability and assist with dynamic posing.
• Collectible Art Card: Each figure comes with a collectible art card featuring a photograph of the figure on the front and a character biography on the back.
• Packaging: The figure is sold in a window box, allowing collectors to see the product clearly. It was released in two main variations:
  • Build-A-Figure (BAF): King Shark was originally released as a BAF, with his parts split across four other figures in The Suicide Squad wave (Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, Bloodsport, and Polka-Dot Man).
  • Megafig/Gold Label: A separate, pre-assembled Megafig version was also released as a retailer exclusive (often a “Gold Label” exclusive at Walmart), which is the version most collectors purchase to avoid buying the full wave. This version sometimes includes a bloody mouth variant.

The enormous King Shark is half-human and half-shark, with a childlike naivete that belies the teeth beneath.  Add to that a bite that far outcries his bark in this genetic experiment gone way awry, who is far more brawn than brains and always in the mood for his next meal, no matter who is on the menu…nom nom.
