Preordered first day - delayed again.

had to check my own order status & that remains

I'm assuming they underestimated demand.

Finally, my Keaton Batman and Batwing set has shipped from Amazon.  I was starting to think I wasn't going to get this thing from Amazon.

I did see the 1989 Batman stuff at Kohl's including singles

Nowhere else seems to have stocked this series

Spin Master is also making toys in conjunction with DC's Metal Force

I'm guessing this is how Brainiac will get released ...finally.

The Batman Forever stuff is up on Target.com now, but only the Batmobile is currently available to ship.  You can find the links at this link:

It doesn't seem any of them go to the Riddler though.  The one labeled "Riddler" seems to go to Two Face when i click it.  Can anyone find a link to Riddler on Target.com?

Honestly, I don't get the Batman Forever stuff for a couple of reasons.

1. They are direct copies of the original figures that were not even movie accurate in the first place.  The biggest gripe you can make for the Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman and Robin Kenner figures is that very, very few of the toys actually looked like the movie.  There was no Kilmer or Clooney panther suit offering, no screen accurate B&R Robin, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Bane, Riddler, Penguin, or Batman in his Returns suit.  If you're going to make a line in the Kenner scale and style, make it movie accurate.  I'd have been all over them.

2.  The original figures aren't that desirable and are still readily available to this day.  If you want Batman Forever figures, you can find them MIB at not a huge cost.  

Direct copies of inaccurate figures that are readily available.  I don't get it.

I saw a Batman and Riddler figure in a local Target over the weekend, along with the Batmobile.

I would add a #3 as they would compete against McFarlane's Super Powers

both are 5 inch scale and very similar

I'm trying my darnedest to get the Spin Master Forever Batmobile open, but it's tough!
