The Dark Knight Figures will become a MattyCollector.com exclusiveLegions of Gotham speculated on this possibility, and now we've learned its a sure-thing. According to our sponsor, BigBadToyStore.com, Mattel has revoked orders for the next waves of Dark Knight Movie Masters, in lieu of them becoming MattyCollector.com exclusives. No information is available on cost and time of availability. If they're anything like the Masters of the Universe Classics line the cost will be around $20. We hope that Mattel will offer Batman fans a subscription service like they have with MOTUC, so that we don't get overpowered by scalpers when trying to get our toys. We should hear firm details at San Diego Con. Stay tuned to www.LegionsOfGotham.org for more details soon! **UPDATE**We have updated our Dark Knight Action Figure archive with the latest info. If you're on the hunt for new Dark Knight toys, you can score one of the two versions of the 12" Joker at Toys R' Us! We're discussing that toy HERE

x( but better than no release I guess. Now does this mean they're just gonna release the ones they were already working on & that's it? Or would it be a supply & demand issue?

if they are gonna go ahead and make these exclusives, how come they dont make the rest of the unproduced molds into matty collector exclusives (for example, the TDK basic harvey dent that we have seen on a cardback in a 2 pack with two-face, clearly it was already made)
TDK basic is done as i understand it still wanted that basic harvey 2 pack bad!

I'm glad that these will still be available to us through Matty. It's too bad that Mattel dropped the ball on the Dark Knight toys, they really could have had something. I will definitely get the subscription service if they have it.

They have never said that they won't do that. If they actually do have a mold of it, its likely they would consider releasing it in some format in the future.

This is the only future I could see for this line. It had very belated figure, others were too hard to find and now that the movie's a year old I didn't imagine they'd find another way to sell 'em.

At least we're getting them at all. I was pretty bummed when we found out we weren't getting them. I hope we'll see a Scarecrow in suit this time, and the unreleased Two Face, Gordon, Joker Thug, and Jail Cell Joker. And while 20 bucks may be a bit too expensive, if they're the only way to get them, I'll gladly pay it. Hopefully Comic-Con will hold some good news for us.

At least one a month won't be bad. I may pass on these b/c Matty is also doing 1 Ghostbuster figure a month. Don't know if I can swing two figs a month.

I wouldn't rule him out just yet. If he's on the back of the package, even in word form, fans will start asking for him. It could just be that they're still working on a prototype for him. If they start releasing them in September, they'll still be releasing them around Toy Fare of 2010, so maybe we'll see or hear something then. Either way, I'm really excited, and I'll gladly pay 20 bucks for each. At least now we won't have to go chasing after the Harvey Dent and pay ridiculous amounts of money for him on ebay. I do hope, however, that they go back and release the Chase Figures from the first 2 series so we can get those. I still want to get that Demon Batman. So is September 15th confirmed?

I'll get them all as they are offered, but the ones I'm really looking forward to are... Pre-Batman Bruce Wayne Jail Cell Joker Two-Face I'll get 2 each of those and one each of the rest. Speaking of MM I went out yesterday looking for the DCUC8 and some of the Batman B&tB Action League 2-packs/vechicle sets without any luck. But I did find 2 of the MM maskless Batman at the TRU on Rt17 in Paramus. I guess in another year or so I'll find the "Fear Toxin" Batman from Series 2

But that does mean we're getting Harvey Dent before that, so it sorta balances it all out.

I still don't have Scarecrow, let alone the chase figures. :/
I would love to say I'll get the new figures, but I guess I have to wait & see.

Here's what I could find (don't know how true these dates are since things change so much) Sept. 15--Gotham City Thug Joker (Bank Robber) Oct. 15--Survival Suit Bruce Wayne(prototype Batman,did not show a mask) Nov. 15--Harvey Dent Dec. 15--Jail Cell Joker Jan. 15--Arkham Asylum Scarecrow Feb. 15--Batman with sonar eyes and battle damage March 15-- Two-Face I would like to have all of these,except the Sonar Batman.Not to impressed with it.Anybody heard any official news on a possible Gordon figure?

Post by dhunter333 on Aug 3, 2009 11:18:02 GMT -5
no official word i believe that only if this is succesful will they make a gordon, or any more figs
i hope they do, i'd love to see what comes out in april!
i have seen many pics of the proto bruce wayne without mask, but i THINK i saw one from con with mask on and off mask looks a little wierd, but that can make for a great league of shadows member or something if you had tons of $ to buy 5 of them or just some burglar that batman stops
i LOVE the movie master sculpt, mattel totally failed at movie master line nearly 2 years after TDK we will get our two face sigh
