I was off from Friday to Tuesday, so I decided to drive around to some Walmarts, Targets & Gamestops outside of my local area in Western PA.
I found Atom & Green Arrow at a Gamestop. They also had OWaW Superman, but I didn't want him. I also found all three figures at various Walmarts in their electronic/collectibles section and I would see the digital Aquaman & Batman figures in the collectibles section at Target.
I found Darkseid at a Gamestop.
I found Reverse Flash at a Target but not Sportsmaster & Manhunter. I am hoping they show up in my area soon.
I've seen plenty of Dick Grayson Batman (regular & platinum), Adam West Batman (regular & platinum), Fusion (regular & platinum), Platinum Ben Affleck Batman, Platinum Hugo Strange & Platinum Bullseye Batman at Walmarts. i already got what I needed.
I saw Lucius Fox on the Walmart website and read from some of the reviews that people received a different figure than the one they ordered.
Ordered Adam West and Lucious Fox two days ago from Walmart and West arrived today. I was hemming and hawing over this one but he's more fun that I was expecting. He looks really good. I think that cape is a bit longer than it should be but it makes for a really great effect on a toy.
Amazon shipped Darkseid. EE shipped the case of Batman wave 2. Supposedly the chase figures are in the cases. I already received some chase figures from Walmart. If I receive the same chase figures and regulars in the case from EE the chases and regulars from Walmart will be returned.
Saw 2 platinum Cap Boomerangs, Sportsmaster, Manga Batman and rebirth Robin at a local Target this afternoon. Grabbed a Boomer and Sportsmaster.
@jtmarsh I think that really depends on your personal suit tastes. Many still consider the original Perez look the definitive outfit. The Arkham games provided a great update although the figure is that is lacking. This is a decent modern version for sure though.
Thanks, I may have to get this one then. Really all I want for Christmas (and it IS a Christmas movie) is McFarlane's version of Batman Returns figures, since the 89 Jack Nicholson Joker isn't forthcoming.

I will admit I first read this as Luscious Fox before I corrected myself. And it was nice to single pack him at least somehow, even if it IS a Platinum figure. I feel like Alfred is the glaring omission though, and I'm surprised they didn't try to make us by a pre-char Harvey Dent or Joseph Gordon Robin. Alfred and Commissioner Gordon are really the only two others I'd want unless they're gonna make a Neeson Ra's Al Ghul.
I considered Adam West from the Multiverse line but I feel like the head doesn't really capture West accurately (too elongated and the eye holes seem too large) and his outfit looks like it's more blue than a more navy-with-hints-of-purple from what I remember of the screen fabric. By comparison, however, I think McFarlane's 66 figures look great, I just don't collect that size. I will give credit where it's due though on these posable capes. I can really appreciate being able to make them look windswept given how much these characters spend on rooftops.

They aren't my favorite wired capes, but at this price point they are perfectly acceptable. I like them better than a limp piece of cloth or the molded plastic. You can get them into some cool poses.
Good to know that people are finding those figures in the wild. I have been waiting ages for BBTS to ship my Superman and Green Arrow its taking forever. I might just take my chances elsewhere at this point.Then again, I might either mod this superman to have the classic logo or just wait for McFarlane to release a classic McGuiness Superman
Page Punchers Robin (and Presumably Deathstroke) up on Amazon.
HOLY SH!T! I just went to pre-order the Damian Wayne Robin and Rebirth Deathstroke bundle from McFarlane Toy Store, and when I got to the shipping the cheapest option was FedEx Ground and it was almost $19.00! And USPS Ground Advantage was like $28.00!! 😳
The last time I ordered from MTS the shipping for 3 figures was only around $11.00 for USPS Ground Advantage. So WTF is going on? Did the Post Office and FedEX suddenly more than double their rates, or is the McFarlane Toy Store price gouging customers on shipping?
Luckily I was able to pre-order both on Amazon with free shipping.
I dig that Robin figure so much.
Robin looks good so far until you remember Todd's track record with scale. How tall will he be compared to Batman........?
I ordered him though.
I received Darkseid from Amazon today. Amazon must have pulled this Darkseid from a nearby shipping center since it arrived less than 24 hours by USPS. They do have a couple of those here in GA. He looks better than I thought he would from YouTube reviews. I haven't pulled him from the box and probably won't for a couple of months. I'm working on adding more space at the moment for this years GI Joe Classifieds. UPS notified me and should receive the case of Batman wave 2 by mid next week.Amazon shipped Darkseid. EE shipped the case of Batman wave 2. Supposedly the chase figures are in the cases. I already received some chase figures from Walmart. If I receive the same chase figures and regulars in the case from EE the chases and regulars from Walmart will be returned.

If he’s the same height as the other Damian figures but with a normal sized head, he’ll be right at Knightfall Batman’s shoulder…maybe a smidge too tall but very close.
