As what was going to be one of the most clever release dates (1/12 for One:12) is upon us, I’m afraid it’s going to be for naught.
Thanks to external issues at ports due to some strikes late last year, the inaugural Batman figure from the new One:12 Collective line has been slightly delayed:
One:12 Collective Batman And Port Delay New York- A slowdown at the 29 largest seaports in the US has caused delays for billions of dollars of cargo including the new One:12 Collective The Dark Knight Returns Batman figures. Originally slated to premiere on January 12th,a backup of ships waiting to dock and be unloaded has presented a challenge to their delivery . We ask for patience as the backlog of ships slowly winds its way through the ports. They also ask for understanding as the boats wait to be unloaded and as the freight then works its way through the local distribution channels to the collectors and retailers. Unexpected delays are a trying challenge, especially when it is beyond the manufacturer’s control, but fans can be confident that in the end the new One:12 Collective The Dark Knight Returns Batman is worth the wait.

Definitely a bummer, but if you’re a DC fan that tried their hand at getting a Mattel Doomsday, this ain’t your first rodeo. For me, this just means more time to scrounge up parts for a Bat-tank. In the meantime, though, don’t forget Judge Dredd is now up for pre-order!
We’ll post more on this as it comes.
