The Glider seems a little steep at $60. Certainly not ~$30 more than Kingdom come bats. It looks to include a dio but that’s basically a cardboard back drop. I don’t think I’m invested enough in the source material to go full price on this.
Gilder is up on amazon $40 bucks
Went ahead and got my pre-order in for $40. I've pre-ordered 2 Batmans today, this and the silver age Bats with Ace. I'm one of those guys who hates having multiples of the same character too... what's wrong with me today? I even spent $52 on that AMC Batman popcorn bucket Bat Signal! I must be off my rocker! Someone hide my wallet from me!
Damnit I just realized that the Batman Beyond figure is sporting some kind of chin guard. I had pre=ordered this figure in the hopes that I could repaint the head in the classic colors and then fit it to the Knightfall batman body. then I'd have a batman body inspired by Norm Breyfogle. unfortunately though I dont think I'll be able to achieve that without significantly resculpting the lower jaw and chin bone.
Ace Batman
Looks fine, don't need him
Glider Batman
Eh it's lazy
New Batman Beyond
Thanks, I hate it so much!
Noel Batman
Might pick this one up. I like the new headsculpt and colors. Not sure why he comes with only one fist.
Glad that others like the Batman Noel figure but he looks very inaccurate to me. Where is the cowl that goes over the shoulders and should be connected to the bat symbol? Why is the chest symbol curved to fit the old chest mold? Plus the belt buckle is wrong, plus the head sculpt is totally inaccurate. Not a bad Batman head sculpt at all, just doesn’t look like Bermejo’s art. Somewhat like a generic Batman but not the Noel specific look.
Absolutely love that 50s Batman though. He’s been a huge want for some time. Not sure we’ve had a proper figure of him other than the 4 pack from DC Direct. Really like this one, and Ace is a cool inclusion.
Power Girl and Commander Steel are nice but they so totally botched Jay/Hawkman that I’ve been passing on most of these. Maybe Commander Steel fits in the JLA as well, but happy to save money and grab some other figures.
Passing on too that this case will include a Plat for Batman Beyond and SA Bats and also include a chase Batman from Spawn/Batman
I found a case of this at a Walmart earlier. I didn’t buy none but here’s what I saw in the case
2 Cyborg
2 Red Hood
1 Platinum Shining Knight
1 The Question Platinum
@tmntfanatic I pre-ordered one of those cases from EE because the listing said 1 each of Effigy, Question and Shining Knight. If it's only 2 of the 3 then I'm cancelling. I know that they're subject to change and Platinums aren't guaranteed, but that is still the only reason that I ordered it. I don't want that Red Hood at all and only want 1 Cyborg. Stopping by all of Gamestop, Target and Walmart later today hoping to find some of these even though they seem to hit here later than elsewhere.
Ahh, good to know about that case pack out. I had two pre-ordered from EE so I will go and cancel one of them.
I received from McF last week the Huntress/GL Corps member/Battle Damaged Dark Knight Returns Batman. McFarlane doing the face pieces for Huntress was a good decision. They fit snug once you get them in place. I prefer the one that has no head piece attached to the mask. She's got some good height to her supposedly being 5ft11. She fits in nicely with my favorite modern Batman, the 3J Batman. The battle damaged DKR Batman is quite impressive and the unmasked head sculpt is pretty spot on to the source material. GL Corps member both head sculpts Tomar-Re and Abin Sur are very detailed. This is the body they should use going forward for all the lanterns that fit for this body type. I would love to get some Yellow Lanterns using this body. I hope we can get another modern Hal using this body. I also received from Amazon, Ragman and Clock King. Jonah Hex is shipping from McF as well. I had to go to Walmart today to grab my groceries and decided to check the toy aisle. Platinum Blue and Grey Grayson x 3 were hanging on the pegs with one Platinum Affleck Batman and Hugo Strange. I grabbed one of the Platinum Blue and Grey Grayson Batman. Oh, almost forgot, received the Batman Forever figures from GameStop this week, too. It's been a pretty busy 2 weeks as far as McF DC action figures.
It would seem Walmart has/had Question and Shining Knight up on the site. Hopefully this is just a place holder until the next Walmart Con. I saw no listing for Effigy.
McF has Deathstroke and Robin in stock and GameStop has the GL Corps member in stock.
Does anyone know what the hell is going on with the shipping rates at the McFarlane Store? I was going to order the Robin/Deathstroke bundle with an additional Robin, but the price for shipping USPS Ground Advantage was $75!! 😳 That was more than the total of what my order was going to be (which I promptly deleted from my cart, BTW). What the hell?? That's insane. When I ordered the Huntress/DKR Batman/Green Lantern bundle a few weeks ago the shipping for USPS Ground Advantage was only around $12-$14 or so. MTS was my go-to for new Multiverse figures, but now there is no way.
Anyone else experiencing this outrageous price increase for shipping from MTS?
That is strange for I used the same shipping rate and it was $10.34 to GA.Does anyone know what the hell is going on with the shipping rates at the McFarlane Store?

I just tested the shipping you quoted for two Robins and Deathstroke and the rate for me was $18.10 for USPS Ground Advantage. Maybe has something to do with your country settings on your VPN if you are using one. I use a VPN but the country setting is US.
