i cant tell for sure, but his suit looks the exact same as the Gotham city thug's suit? except for the hands and tie.

It is the same as the gotham city thug just with new paint and the scarecrow head but I still want it because his suit is what he wears in the dark knight and most of batman begins.

Kinda cheap of Mattel to recycle the same body sculpt.

Yes its real and to be fair the original scarecrow had the same thug body I have a feeling this will not be the last time we see the thug body. To me as long as we get a figure slightly different I will buy it since I am not a customizer.

Ive been one of those collectors who havent been blown away by this line from the beginning. These new offering do even less for me. I honestly wish they would scrap this line altogether and come up with a whole new Batman only line presenting new renditions of him and the entire rogues gallery.

Kinda cheap of Mattel to recycle the same body sculpt. I know it seems cheap, but in this economy, its kinda necessary. Its not cheap to have a totally new sculpt made. I think its alright. Of course you could pay twice as much to buy each figure ane make it yourself...or you could just skip buying it. No one forces us to purchase these. Personally, I NEVER pay ebay prices for figures. I'll only buy them when I find them at retail. So far, I've gotten most of them on clearance. All in all, I don't mind this one, we're getting better ones later in the year, so I can live with a few redecos and put-togethers.

When these two figs are are $5 each at most Wal Marts I can make it cheaper than buying the new $12 fig. I like the idea of the fig but i just think that they could have made it a little better. I mean give me a stuff rabbit with drugs in it as the evidence.

You hit the nail on the head, Matt - right now, every company has to focus on maximizing ROI - and someone will buy this.

Like the guys say on there, what's the point of putting these out like this? they had all this other stuff left over but no bags? and if this is real get ready for Movie Masters to die with this wave. retail chains will not pick up anything else after these sit on the shelves

I know that your right jokermatt but honestly I have been waiting for wave 3 and 4 for a VERY LONG time and not that I dont love what they could have made but as long as we get the figures already shown I will not expect more.

Why is everyone up in arms about this photo. This is a bootleg, homemade display... and a bad one at that.
Look at the top edges of the blister bubble... its been opened.
Look at the plastic tray holding the figure... seems like we've seen this before... with the Gotham City thug.
Look at the plastic tray where the "evidence" piece sits... its shaped completely different than the scarecrow mask... almost like its for a thug mask
And why does the label just say "Scarecrow"... Mattel is all about promoting the variants... why not call it what they call it, "Arkham Asylum Scarecrow"?

it's nothing against you batjoke, I really want to get some new figures too. I even bought the 5 inch and 4 inch lines but i see where this is heading if they release another wave of shelf warmers. I think its time for us to get two-face after all the first wave came out 10 months ago.

I am starting to lose intrest in this wave I think they should have just made these figures a two pack and made wave 4 into wave 3. I think that would resolve the whole problem with peg warmers.

Wave 3 is sonar vision batman and scarecrow in his suit. Wave 4 is bank robber joker, Two face, and harvey dent.I was just voicing my opinion on what they should do. Not what they will due in the previous post right before your post.

It doesn't really matter if what is on ebay is a "fake". More than likely they're mock-ups.
The actual figures will look just like this. Its not news, people. We knew we were getting some kitbash remakes before we got new sculpts. the fact is that they cannot and will not afford to have new sculpts for every single wave.
Cool thing about collecting is that you have the option to skip buying these. If you hate them so much, don't buy them. And retailers aren't crazy fans like us..they don't give a damn what the figures are as long as they sell..and these will sell right out. We all know it.
Between collectors and scalpers you'll be lucky to see these on the shelf more than once. So for those of you that hate them so much you're in luck, you'll never find them anyway! lol
