Does anyone know if Black Manta ever showed up at Walmart?  I assume he'll eventually be plentiful, but I'm getting a little anxious to get one.

Yes, I’ve seen sitings on social media, but have seen more people complaining that they can’t find him.  I got mine from cmdstore.com, so haven’t been looking.

You can keep an eye on Walmart’s site as well: https://www.walmart.com/ip/seot/1119965519

Now he’s sold out on CMDStore and not seeing any that aren’t absurdly priced at Walmart. Hope he’ll be plentiful in a month. If not, I feel dumb not just over-paying retail a little on CMDStore.

This site has Walmart links for all of the next wave.  Reverse Flash is the only Walmart exclusive for the next wave, so that is the link worth keeping an eye on.

My local Walmart is still packed with wave 2 figures, so I'm not sure if they'll continue stocking the line. That said, if they do, I'm going to be really tempted by the new Batman, Nightwing, and Robin figures. They don't technically go together as a set, but I don't care. All-black Batman will always be a favorite of mine, the Nightwing's older suits don't get enough attention these days, and while not a huge difference, the new Robin is definitely an improvement over the previous one, and it's still Tim, so I like that.

I almost bought 2 from CMD a couple of times, but I hate to overpay for something that ends up easy to find.  When I finally decided to pull the trigger, they had raised the price.  I think I'll be able to get one in store eventually, but I hope I didn't make a stupid choice.

I have also seen Black Manta at my Walmarts in West Virginia.

I haven't seen any Black Mantas at either of my local Walmarts. I ended up purchasing from CMDstore a while ago. With the price of gas, I think I probably broke even. Of course, they will probably now start showing up. Who knows. 🙂

Okay, Todd. I understand that you wanted to get a bunch of repaints out in time for Christmas since the line is now going wide. Fine. 

But Toy Fair and NYCC are coming up, and I need 2024 to bring us some new characters, a nice mix of modern and classic. Characters that never made it to the original line, but should have, especially the ladies such as Supergirl, Batgirl, and Black Canary. 

And a playset!

If McFarlane would just produce the Tower of Darkness, I'll forgive everything else.  Come one, I've been waiting almost 40 years!

Knighfall Nightwing looking really good (completely inaccurate box art notwithstanding).  The gold paint really makes him pop.

Agreed, though I kinda wanted a new head sculpt with either the ponytail or mullet. 😉

This is the first wave I'm not all in on. I would love that Thomas Wayne Batman if it looked like the card art, but I have no connection to the character and don't like the costume.  I would have skipped Batman Who Laughs, but my wife brought one home for me one day without knowing I wasn't interested.  I'm getting the 3 pack, but I would very much prefer single carded figures since I'm a big fan of the cardbacks with characters on them.  

I'm really excited for the Whirlybat, Batman and Knightwing.

I still hope I can find Black Manta at some point.
