I'm glad to see Vampire Batman still in the display. I'm really looking forward to him. I'm a little disappointed to see more video game figures though. Hopefully they'll get their own line separate from the comics-based figures.

Really didnt notice anything new. Most of their display is rehashing Toy Fair. Well, except that Damian and Batman Beyond are missing. I heard Damian got dumped, but I hadnt heard anything about BB not being produced. Course those were the only 2 I really wanted lol...

Who said damian got dumped? I really hope that isn't true

Damien was confirmed to be cancelled at this time. We should know more after the panel today.

That "Beware the Batman" figure may be the most awful looking figure I've ever seen.

I think it is pretty accurate to the design of the show.

I don't have any plans to buy it, but I don't see what the problem is with it.

I guess I should preface it by saying I hate the way the show looks too.

Wah wah. I didn't like the smiley Michelin Man style Brave and the Bold Batman, but I didn't knock the figures over it. Even with those bloody awful gaping arm holes. The Beware figure is a welcome improvement.

Do you want a cookie for keeping your opinion to yourself then? :lol:

I'm sure I'm not the only person who will dislike some figures being revealed, or some shows being revealed. That's the nature of the beast.

I'm not a fan of either version.
But I did like the Young Justice figure of Bats.
:twisted:

Yes it is. I got a steal here about 2 months ago on some harder to find JLU figures. I basically stole that static shock 3 pack.

Man, so what the heck happened with this line? Blink and it's gone.

I'm a little ticked. The Unlimited stuff went on Clearance so I got excited and went to the one Target that actually has an Aquaman, Darkseid, etc and they're still $15.99! I come back this week, and they FINALLY go on Clearance and everything is gone. Just...argh. Seriously, Target, why can't you run an store wide Clearance?

Damiane Wayne gets cancelled. A Batzarro that looks like an Unlimited Line figure goes to DCIE. A Shazam that looks like an Unlimited line figure becomes a SDCC exclusive.

What a mess.

So what? Retail is just confused and wishy washy about what they want? They went to Mattel and asked for $9.99 line? or Mattel proposed it and retail falls all over it? They think Total Heroes will be more successful?

I'm a retail guy. I want to buy my stuff at retail. But they're loosing me!
