There's also a Brainiac Platinum!
I've never seen these in person - what scale are they? I thought the page punchers were super small figures included with a regular-sized comic book...at least that's what I've seen.

There's two sets of Page Punchers. They're the 7 inch figures that generally have brand new designs and sculpting and includes a comic. Then there are the smaller figures with the comic.
Same for me on all counts. I overpaid for her from BBTS. I DON'T want/need a deep run of Dark Knight movie figures, but Catwoman is a must. I don't have the space for (another) Batpod. I don't typically do desperation orders either.
The only up side is that this is not a mediocre release, it's a damn good likeness and good figure overall.
True, I have BAF Hardy Bane, don't need the one with the jacket. I bought unmasked Bruce Batman because the face looks damn good and I can stick it on other figures. As for Catwoman I don't need her in an evening gown or however else they'll try to sell her to us. Ultimately I justified it as "you'd spend the same on gas driving around town and still possibly not find it, best to bite the bullet and get it done and over with." The tumber and Lucius look cool, but nothing I need. Maybe Gordon if they make him and unlikely Alfred, but those are really the only other two I'd even consider buying. The two Burton Bat movies however I would go all out on.
B-list Nolanverse characters I'm less excited about. Todd did Batman and his main antagonists from all those films, I'm good there. But Vicki Vale, Bob the Goon, or Max Shreck? Yes, please.
(And now that the Batman Forever figures that I've been claiming for months were absolutely certain to be made have been officially revealed, it's time I let you all know that full waves of Burtonverse figures ARE happening as well. It's just a matter of time. Because Batman.)
Like....you've heard this from a reliable source?
Still iffy about Nicholson Joker. Mattel had the DC license for nearly twenty years and never did a '89 Joker. I heard the likeness rights for Nicholson are super expensive so maybe Todd might bite. Then again, Beast Kingdom did an 8 inch Joker so maybe the costs are cheaper.
So Red Supes Platinum is cropping up everywhere and looks great too, and the first Plat I've given a damn about so this will be the one I'm on the hunt for.
Going over leaked stuff and what we've seen to be coming and all that's left in terms of big time stuff is the Shazam/Freddie set and the Justice League Taskforce BAF wave, which we know all have Platinums and the BAF is leaning towards Despero. I'd wager the JL:TF wave is another MTS exclusive too, similar to the COIE wave but could be wrong.
In either case, I'm stoked on it and though I've no real interest in the wave figs (Bats, Aquaman, Flash, Supes), that Despero has been a big want for a while.
Since Ragman is on the rumored list, hoping McFarlane has intentions of building this team.
LOL.... that team has multiple females on it so it will never be finished. I'd wager Blue Devil has a solid shot at making it though.

That's why I think that, if Todd ever does get around to doing Nicholson Joker, he'll either be as a BAF or McFarlane Store exclusive or something.
I could be totally wrong, but I wanna say I remember hearing around the time of Eternals coming out that the reason why Angelina and Salma's figures were store exclusives had to do with likeness rights; either something in their contract said they couldn't make over a certain amount of them, or there was a loophole with cost or something when it came to it being a store exclusive. I don't honestly remember, but if that really was the case, then maybe something similar could be done with 89 Joker. If Todd is worried about the cost, maybe he could exploit one of those loopholes; might be a dirty trick, considering how many people already have it, but bundling 89 Joker with the Keaton Batmobile could also be a possibility- if not to exploit a loophole, then to at least recoup some of the costs, by making people buy a Batmobile they already have. Though 89 Joker is one of those figures that's guaranteed to sell no matter what, so it might honestly be worth the price for Todd.
The pessimist in me, however, is worried that 89 Joker might become a platinum chase like Catwoman and only be made in a super small run. Or make him a Collector's Edition figure so you can charge a little more. Regardless, if Todd wants to do him, he'll do him- it's just a matter of what the cost for fans will be.
Wally Flash up on Walmart.com. https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/3557239736
Still annoyed that they used the Rebirth Flash body for Wally instead of the Booster Gold/Blue Beetle body. Went ahead and preordered him though so he can fit in somewhat with the JLA figures.
@joshsquash729 Based on Todd's recent actions, I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly how he'll release Nicholson Joker if he was going to release him. Have people jump through ridiculous hoops or/and buy something they already have just to get one character.
And Wally sold out.

Great. I didn’t realize this was a Walmart exclusive. Hopefully I can find one in-store.
Got a ship notice for the Plastic Man wave from MTS today.
I saw that a lot of people online are finding the Platinum variants for that wave at Target. I haven't seen any trace of them at my local Targets though. The only variant I really want is the John Stewart GL because that's the costume he was wearing in Cosmic Odyssey, and I love that book. So hopefully I'll run across one in the wild one of these days.
Wally shipped out from Walmart. He should be here by Friday.
