Had my Batman movie set delivered from GameStop today. Was very happy to cancel my Amazon order that has been reschedule 10 times.
I will forever lament the decision to include foil stamped cards and card holders instead of more figure accessories. Firestorm had a lot of hands, but an alternate head would have been nice as well. I would have appreciated extra hands for Hawkman and Sinestro as well.
An extra stand, produced in the thousands, was the cheapest thing they could do trying to justify the price. Would love bonus heads but these are probably most expensive (new tooling and painting).
I got a shipping notice from MTS for Firestorm/Sinestro/Hawkman 3 days ago, but when I check the tracking it still just says "label created awaiting pick-up" or some such bulls*t. WTF? So basically my package has been sitting there for 3 days with a label on it and still hasn't actually shipped.
That's been happening to me more and more with all sorts of things. Not only packages sent from places like Wal-Mart or Target, but also things I or others are shipping from ebay. It'll show as tracked and having been received by the carrier, and then just sit there for days without updating. In a few cases, it updates at all; sometimes it still showed up, sometimes it didn't. Frustrating for sure, but I know the whole world is in a state of flux and on constant threat of going on strike right now, so maybe that's playing a part?
Finally got around to opening my Amazon 3 pack.
Batgirl is solid, Rebirth Batman is a nice surprise, I actually really like the lighter grey and Clayface is a bit of a shame. I like the paint but the loose shoulders don't do it for me.
We don't have nearly enough pictures, so since you ask....
Mr. Freeze build a figure.
I want these, but at the same time...Do I need them?
That Poison Ivy is the ONLY McFarlane figure I need - no joke! I checked this thread hoping there was an update on her. 🙂 Are there any more photos? I've wanted that figure for 26 years!!!
I won't lie- they all look pretty dang good. The 3 Bat-likenesses are almost perfect. Uma is dang near close, and Arnold looks great too, even if he looks like a younger Arnold than in the movie. Never thought I'd be this excited about a Batman & Robin movie wave, but here I am.
Eager to see what this could mean for the other 80's/90's movies. Christopher Walken getting a figure for Dune makes me hope we see a Max Shreck one day, even if he might be a tough sell. Could make B&R Bane a BAF for a Forever wave. Yeah, it was a godawful interpretation of the character, and he wasn't in the movie, but it would be cool to eventually have all the Burton/Schumacher villains, and Bane was the Nolan Trilogy BAF, despite not being in 2 of the movies.
Cmdstore has the '89 Batmobile with Batman in stock if you were not able to get it from Amazon.
@scottg10 Won't ship to my address...damn. That's prejudice...somehow, I think. For being a US citizen. I'm suing.

Bummer. ☹️ It must have something to so with the size, I get the same. I was worried they were going to start preventing the McFarlane exclusives from shipping to the U.S., but Supergirl and Captain Atom are still eligible to ship.
Batman and Robin wave is looking pretty good. Looks like plastic capes on Batman and Robin and no accessories which is a bummer. I've been breaking out the chrome paint pen lately on various things and I think Freeze is going to get this treatment as well. I'm actually pretty excited for this set. Bring on Batman Forever.
I'd buy these for Robin, Freeze and Ivy, the rest will likely end up in a closet as I never really liked Alicia Silverstone's Batgirl (aside from her relation to Alfred storyline in that film) or Clooney-Bat's suit. Heaven help me when they go full bore on the two Burton films as that will be an expensive haul.
They need to make B&R Bane too!
Todd's there, been posting on his social media accounts. He won't be at NYCC though because his son's getting married that weekend I believe.
All they showed was the Clooney movie figures. Not my thing, but they look good.
Toyark has pics of a Lord Superman Beyond/ Batman Beyond two pack. The Terry design is from Batman Beyond 2.0 #22, one ofthe digital era comics; pretty sure the Lord Sueprman is from that too.
