I am going to be so annoyed if I can’t get that Platinum Catwoman. I know McFarlane thinks making it difficult for customers to buy his product is fun, but I for one am really starting to run out of patience.
The black & gray Knightfall Batman looks good. Not sure which Superman I would put with them, but this Batman and that classic Wonder Woman would make for a solid Trinity.
The new Wally doesn't look bad, but I'm disappointed to see that he's a retool of that first Flash figure, rather than the updated body sculpt they've started using for Barry.
I hate how good the FA Batman looks. Not because I wanted the figure to turn out bad, but because the effort put into this makes they lack of effort put into the FA Superman sting even more.
The sooner McFarlane loses the licensing, the better.

Same here!!
And I'm in the UK, so it makes it DOUBLY difficult to get a hold of her. No chance of getting her in stores since that's USA only, and no chance of getting her online on BBTS or MCF store because she drops in the middle of the night over here and is long sold out in the morning.
Todd is literally making me hate him right now.
Loving all the reveals, especially the black cowl/cape Knightfall Batman and 1939 Batman. Wally is okay but I agree it should have been on a different Flash body and include extra hands. I have been getting use to multiple hands lately so it throws me off when we don't always get them now.
I had a pretty unbelievable stroke of luck this morning with the platinum Catwoman.
I searched her on BBTS and she showed up as "sold out"( was she ever in stock?). I left the tab open, did a minimal amount of work (I eased into my Thursday morning) then for no real reason went back and refreshed the tab. She showed "in stock"! I purchased her immediately. I went back after I placed the order and she was gone again. Maybe I got the only one? This was around 7:15 am and she's already shipped.
I'm checking out of McFarlane for more than a couple of reasons. I'm only hanging around in the hopes of a Batman Forever and Tim Burton Batman waves. This was the only remaining Nolan-verse figure I really care about getting. I opted to pass on the Batpod. Seeing as how the platinum was $40......near $50 after taxes and shipping, I don't know if that makes the best economical sense, but that's the call I made. Glad to have her because I have no desire to hunt this stuff.
Good luck to anyone who wants her.

@yojoebro82 Yup she was in stock/pre-order for at least 10 to 15 minutes when BBTS put her up. I was able to grab one then.
She was limited to 2 per order.
Black Knightfall Batman looks good, but thats pretty hard to mess up.
first appearance Batman is just Hush with longer ears, new forearms, a nee belt and a wired cape. I guess its cool but I wouldn’t say a lot of effort went into it.
It boggles my mind that they would use the old Nightwing figure for that zombie instead of the Titans wave version. Also I m’ dreading the string of school heart rip outs that result from this toy being available to impressionable young minds.
It’s a travesty they did my boy Wally like that. We waited years and all we got was new head on a figure we already have. If Todd had any shame he’d throw that lazy repaint in the trash and start over. I mean, he’s pushing digital build-a-figures, so we already know he doesn’t have shame, but still.
Original nightwing body is much better than the Jon Kent version imo
went to two different targets this morning and did not find any platinum's not event any batfflecks.
i asked a guy and he said they don't have any in the back and told me they might have them next week 2/27. i guess the 2/23 was for a different region? anyways i'll keep checking over the weekend.
Got my batpod from fedex today, awesome bike but the only nitpick I have is for the price we’re paying for I would have liked a bit more paint on the pod. A bit of weathering would go a long way and the canons should have been more complete and not thin half pieces. Catwoman is great but I noticed her legs are a bit warped but I’ll be fine as long as I have her sitting on the pod.
here are some pics next to the Mattel movie masters version.
I would guess looking at those pics, the Mattel version of the Batpod should fit Hathaway Catwoman better. The McF version is too big for the figure. The wheels are too tall and the Pod is too long. I will still probably get one but I won't be displaying the figure on it. Possibly my second Bale Batman I have but not Hathaway Catwoman.
@new-batman Would you mind posting some pics of Catwoman herself? I'm interested to see how her goggles look in person, and my order is still "waiting for fulfillment". In other words, just need to know how much I should regret missing out on the regular platinum version with the cat ears.
Amazon has the McFarlane Toys - DC Direct Batman (DC Rebirth) and Aquaman 7in Action Figures with Digital Collectibles back up for preorder.
I lucked out today and found one lone Vampire Robin after checking four Walmart stores. I found it in the last store.
I also received Captain Carrot from Amazon. I was surprised the figure is really impressive.
I went with GameStop for Aquaman, Batman and Hal. since I have the Pro-membership. Hal is still up for pre-order as well on GameStop and so is the Spawn/McFarlane 30th Anniversary 2-pack.
