Article Summary
- McFarlane Toys reveals a Platinum Edition Max Shreck figure from Batman Returns, sculpted after Christopher Walken

McFarlane Toys is stepping into the DC Multiverse once again with a new set of Theatrical Edition figures. In Batman Returns (1992), Max Shreck, played by Christopher Walken, is a powerful Gotham City businessman and the film's human antagonist. Unlike the Penguin or Catwoman, Max has no costume or superpowers; his weapon is influence. This corrupt industrialist with political ambitions, Shreck, seeks to build a massive power plant that secretly drains energy from Gotham. When his secretary, Selina Kyle, uncovers his plot, he attempts to murder her by pushing her out a window, unwittingly creating Catwoman.
Shreck later allies with Penguin, helping craft his public image and launching a mayoral campaign to oust Batman and gain more control over Gotham. Now, Max Shreck is back as a new limited edition Platinum Edition figure from McFarlane Toys. This chase figure captures the likeness of Walken perfectly, with this figure going up for pre-order exclusively at GameStop, followed by in-store drops at Target and Walmart in October 2025. Pre-orders are already live for $34.99 and are releasing alongside the rest of the figures with Catwoman, Penguin, and Batman.
