Some good stuff being shown off but I have to remember these aren't $25 domestics.....I have to be very choosey. Tim and Doomsday are locked in, though Can't wait to see what the finished Doomsday looks like.
Also, I just finished reading the Hush storyline minutes ago. That, Death of Superman, and Knightfall have all been checked off my summer reading list. 100% guaranteed that's what's fueling my desire for these Mafex figures at the moment.
Far be it from me to get in the way of a good Batgirl figure but I don’t recall Batgirl being in Hush?
like hmmberto said barbara was batgirl in the novel, it was in a flashback panel with that classic oval batman

If that's the only panel Batwoman appeared in during Hush then making a figure based upon that one panel is quite odd. She doesn't even appear to have a cape there like the figure does unless it's so abstract I'm overlooking it. Or is that blank area behind her hair supposed to be a cape?
Robin looks great and is a definite pick up for me. I am sure I'll also get Batgirl and Ra's.
As far as Bruce Wayne, I made my own awhile back using the Hush Bruce head that came with their Batman on the body of the Affleck Bruce Wayne.
I think the cape is the white shape behind her head. I didn't realize she had heels, though. That's probably enough for me to pass. Not a Batgirl look I like, anyway.
The longer this line goes on, the more perplexed I am by Medicom's attachment to Hush and '90s Superman stories. Could it be a license thing? Otherwise why not pick another Barbara? Or Wonder Woman, for that matter.
I've heard Medicom is licensing by the story (not sure if true). If that's the case, then I see this as their taking the opportunity to make a character that is technically within the parameters of their license.
Keaton Batman and Barbara Batgirl are great if true.
Every company with the DC license will produce Keaton Batman eventually. Figuarts was disappointing, Mezco was not for me, Todd has yet to get the likeness even close. Mafex is going to nail it.
Agreed, I found the SH disappointing and while I wanted the Mezco the odd faux rubber didnt appeal to me - I really want Mafex to make an '89 Batman
Batman: TAS is launched my love of superheroes, so I give myself a lot of grace with this line. It hits me right in the nostalgia unlike anything else.
I wish Mafex would do figures of the classic B:TAS designs, the TNBA ones were alright, but B:TAS is my preferred look for nearly all the characters

Shes actually in 4 panels showing off her costume in various angles

The rubber body on the Mezco....ugh, huge turn off, I couldn't get past it. I sold it and made my money back almost immediately. If that was just black plastic it would have been great and it would have arrived two years sooner.

i will take one and Clark. Still missing Gordon and a good Opera Harvey Elliot.
She was in this single flashback shot - this is also where the new Batman they're showing off (with the oval logo) is from. (sorry for the weird link format, the forum was messing with the URL when I tried to just paste it normally. What an irritating "feature")
EDIT: The link directly to the image still won't work properly, even in code tags, just like how it messes up Amazon inks. Jesus christ how irritating. Is there a way to turn off whatever that is so we can just link to a URL?
Anyway, someone posted the actual link to the image in this thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/Mafex/comments/1e9wawz/mafex_hush_batgirl_clark_kent/
Just use the link button atop the text reply box and paste it into the field, and add some alt text. That works for Amazon links as well.
Thank you! I swear I tried that and it didn't work, but I'll assume operator error. I usually just host photos on my flickr account when I want to post them and avoid all this fuss.
Really love all these new reveals! They're going very deep with the Hush stuff. Looks like they'll get to all the villains in the story. And both Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne reveals are awesome and surprising. And I love they're doing Doomsday. It's great to see that larger characters are possible.
I'm also very excited how deep they're growing with ZSJL. We'll have the full team, some Batman and Superman variants, and the Joker reveal is pretty awesome. Really hoping we end up with Darkseid, Steppenwolf, and even some Parademons.

since we have Catwoman plus Bruce and Clark I am really hoping for a Lois Lane as well (maybe with Krypto for tracking Ivy)!
Don't have my copy with me atm, but she appears in at least one more panel, with a close up on her smiling face. Not sure if there's more. While Batgirl is the last figure I'd expect form Hush, she's more than welcome.

Toy companies hate Lois Lane. She would be very welcome, but I'm not holding my breath.
