A little bit of disappointment concerning Joker...the moustache isn't molded on (from what I can tell), but is painted on in gray. Aside from that, I'm pretty pleased. Surf's Up Bats is pretty much what you'd expect it to be; the same Batman mold with trunks replacing the undies portion. I'd be more excited about it if they were to make a Joker to match, but it's nifty for what it is.

I'm pissed at myself. I was at TRU Wed night and they had one Batmobile left. ?I went today after work and it was gone. I wasn't sure that I really wanted it because I have no place to display it as of now. And I'm going to be getting either the 1:12 or 1:18 Ecto-1. But I should have snagged it. I could always return it. Lesson learned. But let's face it. If I buy it and get it home, there's 0% chance I'm taking it back lol. I did buy these though...... Penguin and Riddler are from Walmart. Last 2 figs. High Rise 2pack is from TRU. Also the last one. I assume the Batman and Robin in the 2pack are the same as the singles?

I ordered Penguin off Amazon today for $15.99 and got super saver shipping with my WWE Rosa Mendes that was $11.85.

And bothe the 2-pack figures have wire in their capes. The single caeded Batman doesn't.

A couple of eBay sellers have uploaded new MOC pics of The Joker and Surf's Up! Batman. Here are pics from two of the listings made available earlier today. What are your first impressions based on these images? Goddammit, that's the series with Catwoman but she's not included in the picture. WTF!?! I really am dying to see what she looks like MOC, is that really too much to ask? I definitely won't be getting the "Surfs Up" Batman, would've much rather have had a Mr. Freeze. The Joker looks pretty good though, even if it is pretty much a repaint with a different head.

Catwoman is out in Oct/Nov. My TRU came through today they had a case of series 1 and the batmobiles. I picked up one each of Riddler and Penguin and 2 Batman figures. Left the Batmobile for now seeing I already have one. I'll get another if Targets gets more in stock.

Oh well, October's just around the corner anyway so I can be patient.

I know this is probably a dumb question, but what do you mean by staggered? Does that mean it's gonna be hard to find?

Very cool I was going to ask them if they price matched. (I had the Target page opened to the Batman figure) but I was so excited that they had them for me so forgot to ask. I had called them around 8:50 this morning and asked them to hold a set for me. A manager had given me their direct phone number that they answer when the store isn't open a couple years ago, but I always felt odd calling it...so I never did until this morning. lol

Got my Riddler in the mail today from Amazon and absolutely love it. He has always been my favorite Batman villain so I am super excited to have it.
Also since PJ said his TRU got stuff in I figured I would check mine because they usually show up here at the exact time or soon after. Sure enough they had series 1 sitting on the shelf so I grabbed Penguin. No sign of the Batmobile though which sucks.

... The Adam West Batman is a great, I love everything about it including the stand he comes with. The batmobile on the other hand I'm a little disappointed in. I feel like if they are going to charge $50-$70 it should have come with a Batman fig or at least have some cool feature. I would have loved some rubber wheels and a working siren. The doors dont even open . It looks cool and has that wow factor in the box, which has amazing artwork but once you get it out the box it kinda disappoints. I'm honestly debating on returning it. I kinda wanna keep but its taking up a whole shelf on my superhero display. I'm not sure if this will warm stores like the movie masters batpod and then sell for a crazy amount once its gone or if there are a lot of hardcore collectors who will scoop it up at the first sight of it. What do you guys think? Worth having and taking up a whole shelf? Or Return it? I felt the same way about the Batmobile. I put mine back in the box but I'm leaning toward keeping it. Space is becoming an issue at my house but I figure, this line isn't like Star Wars or wrestling where there's a non-stop release of new toys to buy. Wish I had thought about the Target site, could've saved $10. Got my Riddler in the mail today from Amazon and absolutely love it.

For some reason I love how he has two fists. TRU has strange distribution sometimes. One of my stores only had singles, while the other TRU just had the Batmobile.
