Hit up TRU today and they were literally putting out a fresh case of MM figs. I was able to finally score Alfred but f*ck he was expensive! I figured I might not see him in stores for a while and the fear of an incomplete batsignal really left me with no choice. I'm paying ebay prices at a TRU now.    Just got him out of the package and look....$23 for this crap  That's horrible man. I keep forgetting how we need to inspect these things before we buy them. I found my Alfred yesterday at K-Mart with no issues on the figure minus some grey paint on his ear...barely noticeable though. I just realized you're from NYC too so I'll be in a suprise when I find these... That's a ripoff if you ask me, damn Toysrus  ! Btw has Mattel explained why some of these figs don't have swivel forearms (Bane, Joker, Scarecrow)? I started working on this today, going to try and give him swivel forearms  Plan to do the same to Bane once I find him. |

I started working on this today, going to try and give him swivel forearms Plan to do the same to Bane once I find him. I noticed this on all the MM figures that have coats. Absolutely no reason for them not to put in swivel biceps. Btw, don't know if I can see it right, but it looks like you cut your joker's biceps a little curved? Hope you haven't because it might hinder movement when you put a swivel on them. How are you planning to swivel? I was thinking about doing something similar, and in the past I put a thin nail in the upper arm and bicep, works pretty well and doesn't come off if you really fix it in. |

Sorry I actually meant the bicep swivel. Exactly what I was thinking, I was thinking of drilling a small nail (with a bit of krazy glue in the bottom) in the arms and then drilling a hole on the upper section of the arm. Afterwards it should pop in when I heat up the plastic. This sounds so confusing  , I'll take pics when I start tomorrow  Btw you're right about the arms coming out a bit circular, I tried sanding them down but one arm is a bit too curved in the middle and I can't sand it |

I got the Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Catwoman figure today in the main from Amazon. Paid $24.95 for it.
The figure is pretty good. The version I got was the goggles down version. Maybe the joint on mine is stuck but the goggles don't seem to want to go all the way up to the top of her head, I can raise them up to the forehead before they stop and I don't really want to force it and risk breaking it, so I'll just leave them down.
The figure is really cool. My only problem with it is that her hands are really tiny, like small like a babies hands on a figure that represents an adult sized person. Other than that, it's a good figure.

Man, I'm so behind on this. Just picked up Bane and Batman the other day at TRU.
I think the only TDK figures I need are:
Bank Robber Joker
Two Face (Just never bought him in stores when I could have)
Gordon and Batman Two-Pack.
I honestly feel bad for anyone who hasn't gotten the chance to see the Fear Toxin Batman up close, because it's seriously the best looking figure I own out of any series beyond my GB 2 box set.

The only one from the past movies I don't have is the "Fear Toxin" Batman because I never saw it in stores and I don't do ebay.

UPDATE: So I got one arm in perfectly. Then I screwed up with the right arm and hollowed it too much Any ideas as to how I could fill in the gap?   |

i have fear toxin batman too. the face sculpt is really incredible. if painted properly would actually make a nice angry looking batman.
kinda off/on topic, what do your local TRU's still have as far as TDK figs go? the 3 around me have a ton of harvey dent, survival suit bruce. one of 3 has a few two face and several jail cell jokers as well.

Harvey Dent for MM and Two-Face & I think Scarecrow for the 5" line.

That'd probably fill it in, but it'd need to be the super strong stuff. But I reckon it doesn't even matter that much, just jam that sucker in with the nail and it shouldn't matter too much with the gap, surely? |

I got a $10 gift card to Target for my birthday, so I went ahead and got Batman and Bane to join Alfred. I'm keeping them MOC until I get the other figures, but they're pretty sweet figures.

Between TRU, WM and Target, I was only able to find Batman and that was at Target. I'm hoping that these are just hard to find right now b/c they were just released.
Question: Are the six figures Batman, Bane (with coat), Alfred, Catwoman, Blake and the mystery figure (won't say who to avoid spoiling but we all probably know)?
I've heard about Bane without a coat. Is that part of the TRU 2 pack with Batman or is it a single release?

There is six (or seven if you're a completest) in the "Collect and Connect" line. #1 Batman #2 Bane #3 Alfred Pennyworth #4 Catwoman #5 GCPD Officer Blake #6 Rā's al Ghūl (sorry folks, it isn't a spoiler if there's no details on his character and Liam Neeson is doing promotional interviews) and the Walmart Exclusive, Jim Gordon who doesn't have a number. Shirtless Bane is a two-pack exclusive (with Batman) at Toys R Us then there's rumored to be another two-pack with Batman and Catwoman going to either TRU or Target. |

I hope to find Bane soon. I saw that Gordon comes with ax and a broken bat signal lens. That is awesome. |

There's two versions of Catwoman as well. One with the goggles on and one with them up and flipped to look like cat ears

I have Batman, Bane, Alfred and Catwoman and have put their 4 pieces of the Bat Signal together.
From the back of the box, it looks like there are two pieces left. Looks to be like tube shaped pieces that will go on the front and back of the main tube that is connected to the base. The front piece will be the piece that is the actual bat symbol, and the back piece looks like it could be a bulb that will generate the actual light, perhaps?
