Yes, and that's a good thing. Also, it takes a year to a year and a half to bring a figure to market. This was planned way before he got outbid on the license renewal. If these were ridiculous repaints like what Kenner (and later Mattel) did with the BTAS line then I'd be with you, but with the exception of the special edition releases whose purpose is to pump out non-essential figures that help get as much money back as possible on the tooling, everything has been something that exists some place in Batman's long history. That green Batman is 1 of 6 or 7 we are going to get including the rainbow version that will probably be the last one from that series. Reuse is the only way a toy line can survive. Those minor sculpting changes/releases exist to pave the way for characters we don't have or that nobody has in the case of never before released characters. Bring on all the repaints and variants and Platinums.

No. These aren't real. Some of the Monsters and DC were made, but a lot of these are made up because they've licensed. These are exactly like any other figure line NECA makes figures for, so if there's an Ultimates figure of something then expect it to be in this line.

Nice figure except there's no facial expressions on any of them other than maybe one. This would be better off with removal faceplates and throw in a bunch of those to give us more to be better in line with the actual character. This isn't Spike Spiegel. It's Steven Spiegel, Spike's disinterested, depressed twin brother.

They'll be out anytime between now and the next 2-3 weeks like always. If it's such a chore then why are you here? A lot of us don't seem to have these issues. Every single figure gets a release date ahead of time. They're usually on this site almost 100% of the time.

Yes, the more brutal and gross the better.

The new Origins wouldn't exist if it weren't for these two "retro" figures with less articulation. The line has 100+ figures. I don't see what's gross about releasing a commerative 2-pack honoring the two figures that started it all. I also don't all the weird pushback on it from others. Now, I hope they release ever single one of the A-listers like this.

The suits for Gardner, Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific are all Maxwell Lord uniforms. Terrific's looks correct but the other two will probably change it up if they don't work for Lord after the movie is over. I think it says JG on their chest plates which stand for Justice Gang. It's supposed to be a joke reference to Justice League International. I think Fillion is perfect casting for Gardner and the hair is perfect.

It doesn't have a small budget. It's $200+ million not including marketing. Godzilla Minus One had a small budget. That was somewhere around $15 million and looked amazing.

Because that's what he looks like from the source that this version is taken from? He's a hologram. It's the perfect Platinum variant.

Hatter and False Face appeared on a list a while back. We also never got a Bat-copter. We literally got every vehicle in the line, plus a bonus Jokermobile but no Bat-copter, so that will always gnaw at me. Wayne and Grayson can be customized thanks to the unmasked heads (unmasked Robin is still pricey but not $350-450 like he used to be...he's under $130 usually as of this post). Toy Shiz says he was told at Toy Fair it's over due to likeness rights but there must have been plans given the names on the list. I don't really buy that given the existence of the $250 Joker playset with figures, but it's fine. A new Eli Wallach head could give us his version of Mr. Freeze. A new John Astin head could give us his Riddler and a new suited body with derby hat on a pre-existing Gorshin could give us his fancy formal version of Riddler. The 1978 animated Commissioner Gordon could give us the show's Gordon with a tweak or two to the '78 head. The same for Lee Meriwether's Catwoman. And of course with no Mad Hatter figure it just seems incomplete given he was one of the more high profile villains on that show. Lastly, they could have done the pilot version of Batman's suit and there's a Killer Moth that would have been silly but still worth including. Funko gave us the Eli Wallach Mr. Freeze and pilot Batman suit and Mezco gave us the formal, derby wearing Riddler in the 5-Points set, so there is precesdent there for these being made.

As well as Mafex, and back in the day Mattel, Hasbro/Kenner, DC Direct etc. Hasbro released so many they released commemorative figures for every 100 Batman figures released. We got up to the 200th figure and made a huge dent towards 300. The problem with their approach was that a ton of those Batmans were garbage repaints that were just random colors with no reason other than to up the count. At least Mcfarlane's mostly seem to be from something specific from some form of pop culture.

They corrected it. It's $68.82 after discount. I applied a $20 off coupon from my Rewards points so got the trio for $64 and change after shipping. Too bad they can't do cheaper shipping like others but it's still less than $50 if you don't include it which is great.

Is the original costume ever worn in DC or was it pre-DC? If it was pre-DC then maybe it's a rights issue. The line typically leans more modern, and the original costume looks like it would cost more to make, so I'm sure it's all part of it. I think the old costume looks silly, so I'm fine with the modern, DC version.

Too bad for them. This is a pro-consumer move. They must be needing to make some fast cash.

The whole thing is an ad, so of course they want you to watch the socials. That's all part of it. They gave general dates and saying very soon means the next 2-3 weeks historically. I've already found a third of the product shown at Toy Fair, so who knows?
