Hot Toys has teased an all-new figure of John Cena’s Peacemaker from DC Studios’ Peacemaker Season 2
The premiere episode of Peacemaker Season 2 is finally streaming on HBO Max, Sky Max, and Now TV. As expected, the series is a hit with fans. However, before the dust can settle on the first episode, Hot Toys has released a teaser for an upcoming figure. It is based on Peacemaker’s appearance in Season 2.
Sadly, the image doesn’t reveal much; we only get to see the top of his body, but it suggests we can look forward to an absolute banger when the figure is fully revealed. But before we get cited by the Justice Gang, check out the teaser image below.
REVIEW
In my FOUR-STAR review of the season, I said: “Peacemaker Season 2 is a blast. James Gunn has successfully delivered more of what made the first season so successful. It’s outrageous, gratuitous, ultra-violent, edgy, and jaw-droppingly enjoyable. The characters and their relationships are afforded more time to develop. Gunn has laid the foundations for everything that will follow in his new DCU. Sadly, the new season isn’t without its flaws; there are a few glaring issues with the relaunch. However, they take nothing away from another balls-to-the-wall season of madness. With elements of the new DCU adding their strength to an already ballsy storyline, the second season is off to a strong start. I cannot wait to see where the last few episodes take us.” Read the full review here.
RELEASE
The first episode is already generating buzz with its revision of past events. In a clever flashback sequence at the beginning, the Justice League has been entirely replaced by the Justice Gang from Superman. This change signifies that the last traces of the old DC Universe have been set aside. But it paves the way for the new DC canon to start.
It’s a gutsy move from Gunn, but a necessary one to facilitate the continuity of his new DC Universe. But with John Cena hitting his stride and the phenomenal supporting cast hitting the ground running, Peacemaker Season 2 is off to a flying start…and it begins with this incredible new figure from Hot Toys.
Peacemaker Season 2 is now streaming on HBO Max in the US, and is available on SKY Max and Now TV in the UK. Stay tuned for the full reveal when Hot Toys reveals more.
