@rexmason I think it would be cool if we got a pack in of penguins with rockets with each figure from a returns wave
@rebirthbat those videos are clickbait and most are based on assumption rather than fact. Store order lists are the only concrete leaks.
I do agree with you there, if anything it's more reminiscent of the start of the Rebirth run with Gotham and Gotham Girl. But yeah that's not the only time we'll get N52, we'll get them. Every quarter now it seems we get a comic based Batman centric wave, so it'll come eventually.
@ditko yeah, a big list was thrown up by someone that read too good to be true, get to the bottom and it lists "April Fools", if it wasn't obvious by that point.
Also, there is no rumoured N52 Bats; it came and its the Phygital release, sucks but that's the one. Nothing on N52 coming the rest of the year unfortunately.
I'm with you and the rest on PP though, but I actually prefer the wilder stuff, least with Batman. The FTF Bats is one of my favourite releases yet tbh, just a big solid brute of a fig
sorry I didn’t see this post when I replied
Nice use of the Knightfall buck....for the $22 price point. We're getting charged $30 for this? Easy pass. Actually, I wish all the "Collector's Edition" figures were super-niche offerings like this.
Can someone explain to me why I hate the knees on the Knightfall Batman body? I cannot put it into words but something about them is ugly.
It's desaturated Knightfall Batman. Pass.
But I do want Rock and Conner. Luckily it's usually pretty easy to cherry pick this line.
I ordered the Plastic Man wave from Amazon and got all 3 platinum variants.
Thankfully the variant John can go with the classic "digital" Hal I picked up.
Also managed to nab a black and grey Knightfall Batman at a local Target.

They’re nobby knees, like a lot of humans have - except we don’t have the disadvantage of them looking too weird because they’re not plastic joints that can move independently of the thigh and lower leg.
Certain my Page Punchers robot Brainiac is possessed. Has fallen over about 6 times even with a stand & re-adjusted stance. 👽

I haven't opened mine, but it definitely looks like a figure that I would believe would have a hard time standing up.
I hate that they changed the packaging for the Page Punchers because now this and my Earth-2 Superman don't look right displayed with the other Page Punchers. I'm sure that they did it to better differentiate from the Collectors Edition figures, but I still hate the change. Don't like the "Phygital" packaging either and the only of those I've bought so far is Aquaman - but I had to take him down from my DC Multiverse wall too because he just didn't fit with the others.
Mr. Freeze paint job #4 should be here tomorrow from BBTS. I saw him in person yesterday for the first time at a LCS and he looks great. I don't know if any of the four different looks are specific to anything but this TAS style paint job pops the most out of all of them.
I also saw Ambush Bug yesterday and this is Todd's most "Marvel Legends" figure he's produces so far. Besides the head, it's 100% reuse with no paint. Let's not make this a habit, please.

I made the mistake of shipping by POL from BBTS the day that Ambush Bug came in... and then Mr. Freeze hit the next day, so he's going to have to sit for a bit. The Ambush Bug figure is very, very plain but I still love it and is one of my favorite McFarlane figures of the year so far.

yes all four Mr. Freeze figures are based on specific looks
freeze #1 is based on his detective comics #1027 looks and sculpt
freeze #2 is based on his super power toy colors
freeze #3 is from his first appearance and was named Mr. Zero
freeze #4 is of course his btas colors.
can’t wait to pick up the new freeze when I find him in stores.
