Official Batman/DC Figure Thread...

Lol, check and mate!!

I didn’t know if I was allowed to say Entertainment Earth on here without getting a hand slap... but here goes nothing!!

I found 2 different Supermans...Harley Quinn and Green Lantern.

Weird question but can somebody with the new Macfarlane DC figs take a pic of batman & superman figs standing next to a wwe figure?

It's an all new scale. They tower over Mattel DC and marvel legends

So my WalMart didn’t receive the spin master figures and now the warehouse shows them b/o until Feb.

And the Targets now switch everything Spin Master and McFarlane to a Jan 19 street date. This pushing back the street date at Target is really starting to annoy me.

The only DC figure I was able to get today. Walmart had nothing else and Target changed their Street date from today until next Sunday now.
12” Rebirth Tactical Batman -



And from yesterday -
12” Rebirth Batman -

Especially when last week the McFarlane figures weren’t street dated. They rang up. Today when the Spin Master stuff was supposed to be out according to the registers last week now are all street dated for next Sunday. I asked them why cases marked with a Jan 1 street date couldn’t be sold until the 12th and was told whatever their system says is what they need to go by. Then today I asked “Why everything was now street dated the 19th now when it was the 12th (S.M.) or no Street Date (McFarlane) last week? I thought the dates couldn’t be changed in the system so how (and how come) they are changed now?” They had no answer at customer service.

It’s just so annoying because the things I wanted most were the regular Batman and Nightwing from the 4” Spin Master line. And the McFarlane Detective Comics Batman, Animated Batman and Nightwing from McFarland yet I only found the 12” S.M. And the Superman case of McFarlane.

Saw the Spinmaster 4" figs at a local Target this morning... Was able to but Man Bat, but NOT King Shark (still street-dated for the Target-exclusives, apparently). Ridiculous.

Just a comment regarding street dates. It’s most likely caused by contract agreements between the manufacturer’s salesperson and the retailer’s buy, which likely includes some type of chargeback/fee.

For example, let’s say McFarlane goes into a meeting with Target to get they’re figures on the shelves. Target tells them “We’ll carry your product, but you have to pay us $1,000 per item each year for the shelf space.” Or Target says “We’ll carry your product, but since it’s new, we’re going to charge you back $1 for every figure that gets scanned at the register for the first three months.”

In situations like that, street dates are important as they effectively determine the timelines of contracts. Now, the constant changing of the dates tells me there’s some kind of system glitch, or the salesperson and buyer are still tinkering with the deal.

I get that it’s frustrating as a consumer, but it seems like the people getting hit with the backlash are the store employees stocking shelves and working the registers, aka people who have nothing to do with it. These are people just trying to get through the day and get their paycheck. They’re just trying to pay their bills. Stuff probably ends up out on the shelves early because they don’t really care. I guess what I’m saying is the last thing they need is us whining to them that we can’t buy our toys. Put yourself in the shoes of the person at the register you’re arguing with. He/she has no control over someone putting stuff on the shelves that doesn’t belong there. All they can see is the system telling them they can’t ring it up, and now because of someone else’s mistake they have someone giving them crap they shouldn’t have to deal with.
