Is there any specific way to get the Platinum figure or is it completely random/via eBay? (Never managed to get one but really like the variant Batgirl)

Pre ordered the entire New Adventures wave with the hopes of getting one more true TV series wave. Don’t get me wrong, the New Adventures figures look like so much fun but I need a civilian Bruce, Dick, and Alfred.

Random. It has the exact same barcode as the regular version, just like all the McFarlane Platinum variants do.

Heck yeah, that would be great if true. Been hoping for Bookworm for a while. I'd say he's the last of the "major" villains for me. I'd still love some others like Shame, Mad Hatter, etc., but were it to end there, I'd be happy enough. Would still love to see some 66 comic villains too.

Saw the whole latest wave at Macy's earlier this week. They hadn't had any new McFarlane stuff in months, but suddenly had the whole 66 wave and some Multiverse. Nice to see these being carried elsewhere. Ironically, haven't seen them at Target in ages. Whether their exclusivity ran out or not, I'd still expect to see them there.

Glad to see Bookworm and Alfred (Nightwing to, guessing hes from the Batman/Wonder Woman crossover)

I'm just hoping for villains we get Mad Hatter at least to go with pink cowl Batman (and ideally the other 2 versions of Mr Freeze!)

Very happy if we do get Alfred. All rogues in their TV show look, or close enough, will be appreciated.

They do seem to have some low-hanging fruit left like the other Mr. Freeze likenesses or Riddler in a suit, and assorted masked/unmasked versions of some of the core rogues, that might attract some newcomers to the line who missed out and the first releases.

What is Wax Robin?  Sounds like some trap from the tv show but can't thinkg of anything other than the Riddler epidsode        where he poses as a was statue of George Washington.  Or the surfing Joker episode where he want to turn them into surfboards.  

What is this?

Well answered my own question. Just saw this episode!

The Joker's Provokers S2. e22

Likely it will be Robin with a creamy translucent or light overspray showing how Joker trapped him in the wax spray booth and Batman carries him (a dummy) out

I'd love a release of some generic goons and molls (the molls might be harder with licence issues, but the goons could just have domino masks to avoid likeness rights)

I'm pumped for Bookworm, Alfred, and Nightwing from this wave. I had no intention on getting Nightwing until I saw that awesome design. This line is going much further than I expected. It seems like preorders for this wave are pretty good (based on several figures selling out quickly on bbts), so I'm hopeful for at least a few more waves.

Pre-ordered Bookworm, Alfred, and Nightwing as well. I'm digging the mix now of 66 proper and some comic extensions- it's nice to see they haven't just abandoned the remaining villains from the series. Mad Hatter is the biggest omission for me at this point, and maybe Shame as well. After that, I'm cool to start getting deeper into more of the comic versions of characters that never appeared in the show. Really nice to see there's life in this line, if only because Todd wants there to be. The Mattel figures were really nice back in the day, but never went beyond that first main line-up.

I entered the EQL drawing today for the platinum edition Batgirl from the New Adventures of Batman. I think I bought the set from MTS so I might have a good chance of getting it. It doesn't matter either way. I didn't get the last drawing I entered and found the figures at Target 2 days later.

I received an email this morning informing me that I won the EQL drawing for the platinum Batgirl figure, but I could have sworn it didn't end until July 1. I double checked the email that was sent to me and it said the drawing would end on July 1. I checked the EQL website and the drawing is closed. I now received an email that the figure is ready to be shipped, I think a label may have been created. That was all very quick. The last drawing I entered took a few to days to find out.
