All three are currently unavailable on Amazon now. I just pre-ordered the case from EE. I knew as soon as I saw that Batman head it was new and bigger which should help with the scale on that smaller body. You can tell from the photos that both Aquaman heads are slightly on the small side for the body as was the same for Red Tornado. It is what it is though and can't change anything when the damn design manager don't give a shit.
Did Todd just sneak release the first ever Qwsp? That's insane. Never something I'd expect from this company.
GL is fine if you're looking for that particular variant costume. Batman, however, is a costume that doesn't exist. Not a fan at all, especially of those Batman Unlimited-style gauntlets.

I know, right?!? I've been collecting this general (6"-7") scale of DC figures from Mattel, DC Direct / DC Collectibles and now McFarlane since the late 90's and I'm very confident that no one else has ever made a Qwsp/Quisp before. DCD and Mattel both made Mxyzptlk, but never Q!
McF has been doing more of this lately. Krypto, Topo, that Wolverine with Animal Man and the eagle form with Beast Boy all jump to mind.... maybe you can even count Dawg that came with Lobo and the Space Hog also? The Batman '66 (or whatever that has become now) line recently had Bat-Mite with Jim Gordon also. Baby Doll with animated Croc is another example, although that's just repeating what DCD already did a decade ago. Of those only Qwsp and Topo are first timers, though.
Regardless, I love it!! More of this, please! It's already gotten me to buy two different Aquamen and a Superman that I never would have bought otherwise, so it's smart and probably costs them very little.
Have these ever went live on Amazon?
Yes, all three were live at one point. Hal was the first one to be unavailable then Batman then last Aquaman. Which is why I did the case pre-order on EE. Amazon should put limits on how many you can place a pre-order for.
Thanks guys. Will these be available at brick retailers, Target, Walmart, etc?

Thanks. I never saw them. Got preorders in at BBTS though.
I went ahead a ordered the bundle from McFarlane's website. I hate paying the horrible shipping but at least I don't have to worry about constant delays and I'm guaranteed my figures won't get canceled unlike Target. Also apparently McFarlane ships out figures first before other retailers.
I hope that unmasked Bruce head will scale with the Knightfall Batman.
Wait, is that Qwsp? awesome!
All 3 are available at gamestop.
It's interesting how we critique the figures on this forum. Aquaman & Batman are improper repaints of previous figures and Green Lantern is a new character on a reused body. No one understands the interests in the digital code and yet these have sold out on most websites, especially Green Lantern. I wonder if they will have platinum editions.
It's amazing how some figures are duds and others sell out in minutes.
@magnusprimal Yeah, I missed them on BBTS because their team put them under DC Direct and not just DC Comics where the other McF figures are listed.
I canceled EE's pre-order and went with GameStop since I get a discount with them.
The first place that had these up today was BBTS. They went live at 12 noon sharp. So I ordered them there because I had to run out to a lunch meeting. I think Todd's store also got them up around the same time, but the high shipping charge makes that a last resort.
I ordered 2 GL's, 1 Aquman, and 2 Batman, even though I'm not that wild about the figure. But I want two unmasked heads to make a Bruce Wayne, and an unmasked Batman.
Just got an email from mcfarlane toy store, my catwoman and batpod has shipped.
Kinda surprised Walmart and target don’t have these for preorder, on the figures pages they don’t list target among the other retailers. Maybe they’ll have them listed later on…. I hope.
@new-batman so A New 52 Batman is still on the way and it’s definitely not this one? Correct?
