The Batman Arkham 6 pack was first announced exclusively here on LoG a year ago. The pack is now going to be a Toys R' Us exclusive and broken up into two 3 packs for Target later on. There is a chase version with Mr. Snoots instead of Scarface! This set is due to hit TRU on Sept. 25th with a retail of $39.99! Discuss here as needed! More pics of the set can be seen HERE

Very nice, but at $40 I'll just get the regular version. I doubt I'll pick up the Scoops variant..seeing I'd basically be spending another $40 for a puppet. PJ

When are the 3 packs happening? Cuz I just want Ivy and Scarface. I already got the other villains. Then again... They might seperate Ivy and Scarface making me have to buy 2 three packs *sigh*

That would be too "collector-friendly," and we know that we don't count much in decisions about "The Batman" line.

So when is this happening? The release date is on my original post. A reader named Ben dropped me a line this morning to let us know that in the UK this set has already been out for weeks..apparently its a Woolworth's exclusive over there. Happy Hunting UK fans!

[shadow=purple,left,300]Well, the fans were at least partially (if not solely) responsible for the Scarface figure. Marketing decisions, though... that's another story.[/shadow]

It's a very nice 6-pack but I'd really only look forward to having the Ivy Perhaps the Arnold as well. Those two look very nice!

Hmmm... Interesting that a specific date is associated with it. That's rare for U.S. toy releases.
For those who only want the two nw characters, and may be waiting for the three-packs: I can almost guarantee Ivy and Venty will be split, and I'd wager the three-packs will be $20 each or close to it. May as well plop down the $40 at TRU for the six-pack. Just my opinion, though.

I know I sound like a "nay sayer" here but, I really hate it that we have to buy peg warmers to get the new figures (and there are no bigger warmers than Riddler, Mr. Freeze and that version of Batman, at least around here anyway). Be real Mattell, release these figures on single cards or give us a break and put them all in one set! This also gives the "sleaze bayers" a serious chance to rip off figure collectors, by offering the figure single at a outrageous price. I know "no one makes you bid" but people will and I just think its a sham and shame on Mattell for feeding into it.

[shadow=purple,left,300]I'd prefer it if they waited about 6 months and released Scarface and Ivy as singles, if they were going to release them any other way.
I can't wait to get my mits on this set though. I don't have Clayface, Ivy or Wesker, so they're worth $40 together. It would be nice if they put suited Joker in the mix instead of Freeze, but I have no problems paying for the set.
I just hope the Maryland/ Virginia circuit is a bit more "abundant" with The Batman products than rural New York. The only figures we have here are recolored Bruce to Bats and the Riddler.[/shadow]

I love this set! I can't wait to find it at Toy's R Us!!!! I think it's cool how they're going to break them up into 2 packs for Target later on. Do we know if the Mr Snoots chase will be in the Target packs???

Will they make Ivy and Scarface as single sets? Or can you only get them from the exclusives?

So /\/\att, is that date like official for all stores in the US to carry? Like if I went to the TRU near my house on that day they'd have it for sure? Oh... That's 2 days right after the Season Premiere of THE BATMAN!

Because the puppet is called Mr. Snoots on the TV show, and this isn't the first time I've heard the figure referred to as Mr. Tooters. [/shadow]

I don't have a Toys R Us for over an hour away. I went to the website and pre-ordered it. They have free shiping on it right now.

I'm wondering if anyone "in the know" could confirm that these will indeed be available tomorrow at Toys 'R Them?
