A lot of new The Batman toys & Merchandise hit the stores in time for Christmas. I hadn't seen any pictures online so I figured I'd start a thread w/ pic & possible discussion: Ice Blast Freeze | Zero Matter Batman Gotham Guardian Batman Extreme Impact Batman Enemy Control Batman Blaster Batman Zap Snap Batman Swift Shot Batman Combat Crash Batman Drill Drive Batman Blaster Batgirl Metal Head (Gearhead) 8" Assortment8" Knight Sight Batman 8" Magna Detective Batman 8" Sonic Spy Batman 8" Optical Assault Batman Some Old FriendsCamo Tech Batman Grapnel Attack Batman Flame Strike Batman

The one thing I've noticed about the last two recent waves is sloppier paint jobs. Makes ordering online a bit more risky- and you have to check the ones at the stores closely.
Still looking for Card Attack.

It was weird for me. I found all of those figures first at Walgreens along with Card Attack Joker. I still haven't found any new ones at the major retailers. I myself am sick of looking at all the Riddlers.

I picked up Drill Drive and Gotham Gardian for my son. He loves taking the cowl off GG and playing Bruce Wayne... Then Batman! He's only four and really digs the crazy colors so I guess maybe "some" of the marketing for action figures is true. I'm still hunting for the new Mr. Freeze, Clayface, and Card Attack Joker for myself. I will say this whole line of The Batman figures and way more kid friendly with bigger feet on "most" of them so they stand better (and more articulation). And I really dig the whole line!

Just a shame that almost all of the 6"ers are just repaints of previous figures, makes mattel kind of ruthless in my eyes. I won't get started on that subject though.... ;D

They have got to do something with Metalhead's fingers. They look like lil tentacles. I seriously wanna cut them a bit so its looks sharper like the cartoon version.

The only "The Batman" figure I've yet to find are the Clayfave variants. PJ

Aren't they supposed to be tentacles? At least that is what I seem to remember from the cartoon. The gigantic robotic arm is what I have a problem with. Time to chop up the extra Riddler I have and affix a proper arm..... -A

[shadow=green,left,300] I too am looking for the Card Attack Joker, I'm probably going to check Target this week. As much as I love Riddler I wish they would put new figures up, I already have four of him. I would like to get my hands on a Croc as well. [/shadow]

That's a cool take on Clayface, with half Ethan, half Clayface. Wondering if the Commish will ever show up in this line anytime soon.

Does that mean extra joints on the arms?

Does that mean extra joints on the arms? Possibly. I've noticed the packaging changes as well. They did similar things with the origional clayface fig. One in plain package & one in the morphing head box.
