Man, I'm dying for that Hugo Strange Bats! Really hope Bullseye Bats is the start of us getting all those mad SA suits too, would love a Negative suit Batman
That case pack might be difficult to track down.
- x2 Dick Grayson Batman
- x2 Fusion Batman with 1 Platinum
- x1 Bullseye Batman Platinum
- x1 Hugo Strange Platinum
The Hugo Platinum would be the only one I'm mildly interested. Though I do still have the excellent Secret Files DC Direct version which I think is superior due to two interchangeable heads.
Blue platinum revealed for Grayson Batman.
There he is.

@shinigami-customs definitely a bit shorter/smaller like all DC Direct/DC Collectibles vs McFarlane.
This TDKR Batman from McF was pretty divisive the first time around. Personally I'm a big fan and am stoked for this blue battle-damaged version!

Someone said the emblem rip displaying skin is not accurate since the emblem is raised. 🤣
Argh. I ordered 2 of those Grayson Batman figures to use one for a custom. Here’s to hoping they sneak a platinum into my order…could care less for the black/grey version. Navy/grey is the accurate suit for him.
I've never had too much of a problem with the Platinums before now, because they are usually just repaints of a standard release. But these latest ones have no base figure attached to them. I'm especially irritated that Sportsmaster is a solo Platinum release with no way to acquire him other than by sheer luck. What a stupid decision. He is a fairly popular villain that has never been released in the line, so a lot of people want him. Myself included. But so far my attempts to find one have been extremely frustrating.
To make matters worse, last week my closest GameStop suddenly took down all of their figures from the wall and replaced them with Pokemon stuff. I asked one of the associates when the figures would be put back out and he said probably never, and they will likely send all of their stock to other stores. And he said he couldn't even let me check out what they had in the back because there's too many boxes to go through. 😆
So a couple of days ago I went by my next closest GameStop, (which is in a mall about 20 minutes away), and they had quite a few DC figures, including Cyborg Superman, Green Arrow, Atom, and Sgt. Rock, but no Sportsmaster. So I asked someone if they might be getting him in, and the guy said they got some a couple of weeks ago but sold out almost immediately. So, I guess that’s that. I have no idea where else to look for him.
Gee, if only I could have pre-ordered Sportsmaster online somewhere… Oh well, I guess Todd doesn’t want my money.
@kryptonian well dang now that you mention it, that DOES look silly! I wonder if you cut Batman's ears off his cowl, would he bleed? XD luckily that's an easy fix with probably just acetone, maybe black paint, but woof, what a goofy design
@ninjak Toysnowman still has Sportsmaster available. I hadn't ever purchased from them before but they were recommended by @jayjonah and I ordered one and it's en route. They're a Canadian store but I paid less than $40 for the figure and shipping to Iowa. He's supposed to be here in a couple of days. They're sold out of the Manhunter robot, though.

They also have the DCvV Shazam, New 52 Reverse Flash and SDCC exlusive Centennial Park Tribute Gold Superman Statue in stock, for those looking for those.
yeah, I've ordered from them a few times now. Shipping is free with a $99 purchase but it's fast shipping.@ninjak Toysnowman still has Sportsmaster available.

Toyshiz actually recommended them so I gave them a try and so far after a few purchases no issues.
cmdstore has Vampire SHAZAM and Max Mercury in stock so I jumped. I personally only go to the stores now for necessities. I hardly venture into the toys aisles anymore and I haven't been in Target for about 2 months.
Finally got around to opening up Rebirth TD Robin- exceptional. Great scale, great sculpt, fantastic wired cape with tons of accessory hands. And …….not a collector label price point in sight. Way to go TMcF!

I just opened him yesterday as well. Instantly my favorite Robin now. The artistic spunky face is excellent. Only thing missing is his bow staff.

You're a smart man. Targets have been ultra barren (around here). Waste of time. I have a Target about a mile away that I sometimes go when on a morning run. It is better to just be able to secure the ones you want, even if paying a bit more.
