Yeah, HLJ took payment for Nightwing about a half hour ago. I have the X-Force Wolverine and Deadpool to ship with him because those two dropped a day after I shipped Storm. Lot of comic style Mafex in the last two or three weeks: Storm, Deadpool, Wolverine, X-Factor Cyclops, and Nightwing. I forgot, Huntress wasn't too far back either. HLJ recently sent me an upper torso replacement for the one I got with a bad shoulder.

Discovered something that needs to be said.
I was watching youtube reviews of the Spin Master 89 Batmobile. One showed how much smaller The Flash figures and vehicles are compared to The Batman line from last year. The Batman line is a good quarter inch bigger than The Flash figures, especially when comparing Pattinson Batman against Keaton Batman.
But if you compare The Flash figures to Spin Master's basic DC line, they are the same height and scale. So it is really The Batman line that is out of whack with the rest of the Spin Master stuff. I wonder why Spin Master made The Batman at a different scale than the rest of their stuff?
Spin Master's 89 Batmobile can fit up to Kenner Batman figures. That is the only reason I will eventually buy it.

I had a $50 Mondo coupon, so I used it on the exclusive Harley. They sent coupons and replacement He-Man bodies to those with a detached He-Man torso. I forgot to use my coupon for trap jaw, then again for the rerelease of she ra( with how shera came, i would not call it a rerelease,but sending out returns and not bothering to look inside the box and straighten things up to make them look presentable)

Got my Flash bundle from mcfarlane.
1st, they sent 2 extra figures. Gorilla grodd, my son took him. Hazmat Batman, daughter took him since my son and i have him already. From the bundle, my daughter took, supergirl, and flash that has the batman outfit on. Son, took dark flash and regular flash. Have no idea what to do with the flash “statue”
2nd, now for the negative. I would think something this expensive that mcfarlane knows that these are truly collector items, and how expensive shipping was ($55) this crap should be mint. Shipping box was perfect. Batmobile box crushed on both ends. Every figure, all the boxes looks like they just slid them on the floor. Dirty, scuffed up. A few corners of figures smashed and the flaps were sticking up. Bat cycle window all dented up. The 3 “ statues” had all the same filth and scuff scratches all over the boxes. Only thing that came mint was the bat wing, and thats only because it was still in its brown shipper.
Cant say im thrilled about this shipment. Only positive is that compared to my 1st order with them that took 8 months for them to ship, this came alot faster then i was expecting.

so i was one of the minority that liked BVS (especially the directors cut), so if mcfarlane tackled this movie (i’m hoping they do)…can compare it to how they did the Dark Knight Nolanverse line (4 figures + BAF), what would you like to see?
i’d like regular batfleck, superman, armored batman, lex(could have hair & bald variants) with doomsday as the BAF.
with other character choices like lois, alfred, gordon, wonder woman, etc. what would you guys like to see with only 4 slots available?
(this is all hypothetical & opinion based).

Love the directors cut of BvS. It has its issue but I love the look of the movie and the story Snyder was going for (a broken Batman after decades of betrayals, losses, and a failure to end crime is vastly more interesting to me than the typical origin story we get).
Batman’s BvS and Knightmare looks are my two most wanted figures from McFarlane. Sadly I doubt we get them unless the rumored movie 6-pack turns out to be true (and even then rumors say that it’ll probably be a repaint of his JL tactical suit).
I don’t ever see a BvS wave happening, but they could easily fill it out with…
- Batman (regular) - Batman (Knightmare) - Superman - Wonder Woman
- BAF: Doomsday

I've gotten some of the rarest Blackest Night figures this year, and I'm getting closer to a complete set.

Put together a comic-inspired BvS Batman to hold me over until Todd hopefully does it one day.

3.75 Dark Knight Joker has never been done, right? Too bad Spin Master doesn't capitalize on throwback versions, I actually like what they do. Maybe the just don't have the rights to the likenesses or don't want to pay.
What's the best 3.75 Joker body for a Ledger head sculpt if I were able to get ahold of one of those? Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

The V neck shirt is kind of an eyesore for me but they're cheap so I'll grab one! Was also thinking about the more cartoony style one but it looks like it's kind of hunchbacked so the head probably doesn't come off.
