The Toy Foundation announced its finalists for their Toy of the Year awards. Finalists are selected by a panel of judges who factored in the design, quality, originality, creativity, and play value of each nominated product. There are 19 different categories capturing a wide range of products for people to vote on.

McFarlane Toys was honored with a nomination in the Vehicle category, which considers Toy cars, trucks, trains, and other vehicles in all scales, including R/C vehicles but exclusive of ride-ons. The figure nominated for this award was the McFarlane Joker Dragon:

Expanding on the DC Multiverse collection, the Joker Dragon was released in spring of 2022. The figure is based on the Dark Nights: Metal character, with a McFarlane twist. This incredibly detailed figure includes a bendable tail, movable jaw, and clear base. In addition, the dragon includes a collectible art card with figure photography on the front, and a character biography on the back.
