As part of their just-announced #JoinTheLeague initiative, Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Collectibles have released the first look at the Multiverse action figures for the forthcoming Justice League movie.

Notably absent from the collection — which includes Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Cyborg, The Flash, and Aquaman — are any of the film’s villains. No Parademon, no Steppenwolf. It’s likely that one of these will be the wave’s Build-A-Figure, which is also not pictured.
You can check out closer, turnaround images of the toys in the attached image gallery.
The images don’t give much insight into the look or feel of the movie, since they’re all wearing costumes they’ve either already worn onscreen or that have been seen in promotional materials. One thing that’s potentially interesting is that the filename for Cyborg’s figure identifies him as “helmet off,” perhaps implying that there will either be a “helmet on” version of the toy, or an exchangeable head on this one, when the figures are released.
There’s a scene in one of the trailers that shows Cyborg taking off into the stratosphere, a Deadshot-like full-facial mask coming down over his face, so it’s likely that’s what they mean by “helmet.”
The DC Multiverse line are based on movies, TV series, and particularly comic book stories, but unlike many similar lines are sold mostly in mainstream retail stores like Target and Wal-Mart as opposed to exclusively in the comics direct market. They generally retail for around $20.
In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League is directed by Zack Snyder, from a screenplay by Chris Terrio, based on a story by Snyder and Terrio, and stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher, Amy Adams, Willem Dafoe, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J. K. Simmons, and Ciarán Hinds.
