Crap, I actually like Hal Jordan as Spectre and always wanted a good figure of him. This kind of bums me out now. I think he could've put this in a GL wave instead of making it a chase, variant or whatever.
Seriously. This is starting to kill my enthusiasm for the line.
A preorder for TDKR Catwoman opened up on BBTS and I snagged one, but $40 for this on top of $40+ for Kal-L is starting to sting a little. Not to mention the classic versions of characters being store exclusives.
I honestly can’t figure out his game plan, or what he’s thinking.
If mcfarlane releases a cheaper version in this body mold,the wire cape would probably be gone?
@mysticmanjrf You’re right. However decent this Superman looks once you swap a head on it, it wont change the fact it ultimately costs us $60 to buy two different figures to finally get a classic Superman that isn’t hindered by a glaringly obvious issue.
And even with one of the headswaps, it’s only a decent figure. This new body with the action comics head seems like the figure McF should have released to begin with. It’s weird I even feel compelled to praise an established toy company for making a good basic Superman this many years into the line.
Ugh. I feel like Todd is still stuck in that 99s “oooooh chase figure ThR1lL 0f Th@ hUNTttt!!!!” thing and that would be frustrating under normal circumstances, more so when we are talking exclusives of exclusives from a single source. Yeesh.
Seriously. I just do not get the logic. If the goal is to get more money out of a given mold by reusing it for a new costume or character, then by all means do that. But let the people who want to give you their money for that figure actually do so. Not this artificial scarcity “maybe you’ll get one completely by chance when you order online!” bullshit.
There’s probably a good reason Marvel Legends stopped doing chase variants a long while back.

Nice. I dig the old timey strong man feel of that figure.
@victord I disagree. Completely leaving the back of the belt unpainted is unacceptable whether the figure is $20 or $40.
@victord Probably so. I can't see wired capes on figures being sold at mass retailers like Walmart, Target, etc.
Finally my hunt is over!! Went by the same target I stopped by last week spoke with employee and I gave them the dcpi of the Hong Kong Batman. Thankfully they have a box in the back, he asked which figures I was looking for and showed him the platinums. A few minutes later and he had bat and cat for me. I’m so happy I didn’t have to hunt too hard for them. 
I’m happy I found them but not worth all this effort to track them down. McFarlane should have made these available for everyone.

I still can’t wrap my mind around it.
So is the Platinum Catwoman just sold out now, or are we expecting more to be available?
Got Sinestro, my first of those overpriced SE figures. I threw the cars stand into trash with the box. Did a gauntlet and boot swap, I still have to repaint the parts.

Congrats!
Can you share the DPCI for that Batman?
