Some terrific items coming out. I hope the villain per case ratios are more than one per case

Is it just me, or do the new EXP batteries look like something the Green Lantern would haul around ?

Need more pictures of that Batmobile~ A little description of the features would be more than appreciated.
I like the Batman figure with the red scarf. It reminds me of Final Fantasy 7's Vincent & PS2's Shinobi. Overall, I am very excited with the new stuff, even couple of the Batman variants.
Will we ever see a Batcycle that the figure can ride? I loved the vehicle design, but with a figure stuck to it, I have to pass.

Wow, what a ton of great things coming out! I like some of the variants more than others and the new Batmobile is very cool. A 10 inch Bane would be cool to have. It might be more show accurate in scale too, when standing next to one of the regular Batman figures. Thanks Matt, IG, and Mattel for the great news and pictures!

Thanks for the feedback! Let me answer a couple of questions.
1) Batmobile - figure goes in the back (the back area pops up and Batman slides inside). 2) There are two EXP Power Keys attached to the engine block. Press down the 1st and you get lights in the engine block and back tires and sounds. Press down the 2nd EXP Power Key and you shoot that yellow projectile out the front. 3) The Batmobile will look exactly like in the show, except that we are making the EXP Power Key and the shiny chrome more pronounced. Can't have enough chrome!!
Batman with the red scarf - we are modifying that a bit to make it more of a cape, but there is an Azrael influence there. Keep in mind that you will be able to get Azrael in IT's DC Heroes line.
I can tell you that, as with all things that sell, I expect to bring back villains from the past like ManBat & Bane in the new EXP Power Key packaging. The new villains in the 1st couple of waves will be Clayface, the new stylized Joker, and Riddler. Batgirl comes in towards the end of February (ish). Temblor & Killer Croc toward mid-late Spring.
Secondary vehicles - understanding where you're coming from, we have found that they're a great price value for consumers (you get a figure + a vehicle for $10), so we'll be continuing those into the fall. But having no figure attached is something to think about!

Chrome? Did I read this BM is gonna get a little chrome treatment? Man, I just love chromed stuff... I am a sucker for those shiny object. By the sound of it, I have to pick up this Batmobile no matter what. Yep, I definitely see some Azrael influrence in the red caped Batman. I am looking forward to this figure. How about the Batman who is standing in the middle of the Tremblor and Croc wave? Somehow, he reminds me of a past Batman figure I've seen. I haven't puchase the bike yet, because I thought the figure is molded onto the bike. Can you remove the figure from the bike, so I can fit the Triple Shot Batman on it? 6 pack?! There'r too much good news that I can't stop smiling ;D

Dreamer, The batcycle and sidecar (we're calling it the "Strike Cycle") has the figure molded in, so you won't be able to put in Triple Shot Batman. But it does fit a figure in the sidecar (could always be another Batman or a villain or Batgirl!!
Right now, we don't have a destination yet for the Batman v. villains 6 pack, but I'll let you know when!!

Hey Matt,
Itchy Greek mentioned the "new Batmobile " will be like the one on the show. Is WB going to change the design as it stands now?

[shadow=purple,left,300]I've seen these figures a week or so ago on the boards, but I don't think I commented (or if I did, I was pressed for time so it was brief). Anyway, here are my thoughts:
I love the Clayface, Croc, and Temblor figures. Though, I swear I saw a pic of Clayface with a "normal" right arm. Does he indeed come with interchangeable arms?
This Temblor character sounds very interesting, and the figure looks pretty cool. I hope we learn a little more about him in the near future.
That Batmobile is awesome. Is this based on a new Batmobile design, or is it just a random vehicle sculpt? Either way, I'll be buying it.
I'm very impressed with what I've seen from Comic Con. Even the variants look decent (I kinda want the hooded Batman). I'm definitely excited![/shadow]

Hey guys, IG here, back from Greece, with good food, good ouzo, and good times still fresh in my head. Today's my first day back and was looking forward to getting back on the boards with you guys.
Glad to see you like some of the new basic figs coming out. The batmobile is new in 2006 b/c it's going to be new in the show this Fall!! I just saw a production sample today and it looks HOT!! Plenty of vacuum metallized parts (the engine block, the wheels) and is bigger than the last batmobile. Can't wait to get it on store shelves.
Take care, IG

I forgot to say that I like the new Batmobil! It looks more classic, can't wait to see it in action! Also I didn't react on the Babs news... Cool! Can't wait to see her! It would be amazing to get a Pamela figure too A Ivy figure isn't mentioned But she is still planned, or?
