Todd McFarlane and McFarlane Toys have officially confirmed the return of a fan-favorite figure: the DC Multiverse Deathstroke (Batman: Arkham Origins) 7-inch scale action figure.
According to a social media update posted directly by McFarlane Toys, pre-orders for the McFarlane Deathstroke Arkham Origins reissue will officially launch on August 26th at select online retailers.
For collectors who missed out on the initial run, this announcement brings welcome news. Originally debuting in Wave 3 of the DC Multiverse lineup back in 2020, Slade Wilson’s tactical video game appearance quickly became one of the line’s most prized gaming figures. Over the last few years, secondary market prices for the original release have soared well beyond its initial $19.99 MSRP. It is commonly sold for double and sometimes triple the MSRP. This updated release provides collectors a fresh chance to lock in the deadly assassin at standard retail pricing without paying secondary market markups.
A Look Back at the Arkham Origins Tactical Design
The design draws straight from the action-packed 2013 video game Batman: Arkham Origins, which featured one of the most memorable boss fights in the entire Arkham franchise history. McFarlane’s translation of the character captures Slade Wilson’s heavy tactical armor, featuring detailed blue-and-copper plating, textured chainmail accents, a holstered sidearm strap, and his distinct split-colored helmet.
The original 2020 release came standard with 22 points of Ultra Articulation, a steel katana weapon, a display base, and a collectible art card featuring character game art and biography details on the back.
Pre-Order Details and Retailer Availability
Pre-orders for this reissue will go live on August 26th. McFarlane Toys noted that the figure will be available at “select retailers,” which typically includes major fan distribution outlets like <a href="https://link.bigbadtoystore.com/9c52ae” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank”>BigBadToyStore, Entertainment Earth, Amazon, and the official McFarlane Toys Store.
Given how rapidly original stock vanished and how strong secondary market demand remains for Arkham-series figures, expect pre-order slots to fill up fast. Make sure to mark your calendars for August 26th to ensure you do not miss out on adding Slade Wilson to your DC Multiverse display!
