I came home yesterday, after picking my lovely wife up from work, and I have a package waiting at the LOG offices. Mattel was kind enough to send over the MattyCollector.com exclusive JLU Gotham Criminals 4-pack! You can imagine my glee. SO, I took some pics to share with you all, so you can get the first look here on LOG at the packaging method for these and I'm here to answer any questions you might have about the toys. To answer any scale questions...Bane, for example, is in-scale with Captain Atom. Harley Quinn is dead-on with Zatanna. Obviously, I was as thrilled as any of you about this set when it was announced at San Diego Con this past summer. I have a special place for the New Batman Adventures style and I've been moaning and complaining to my wife for a decade about no Scarecrow and Bane...and now, finally, she can get some peace! Or at least until I start complaining about no Mad Hatter...oh and no Firefly...or Roxy Rocket. Oh, it never ends! lol. But hey, Star Wars fans get every goofy character that has ever walked in the backround of a scene..why can't we expect the same, right? Enough of me blathering and onto what you really want...the pics: A nice shot of the line-upThis is the box that encases the four individually packaged figuresHow they're packed...Your first look...A side-shot of the figures in-package....and them sitting on my kitchen table. Riveting, no?

Oh boy, this is exciting. They look great. They're mailed right to you? Have they officially been released yet? About how much would the set cost?

Matt... you suck : )~ Seriously though, can you confirm none of these (save Scarecrow) have any accessories correct? Does Bane have any form of "venom tube" attached? Can you determine whether or not Scarecrow's cane is removable? Thanks

Batlaw....I know I do! lol.
Ok..Bane has a venom tube from his arm to the back of his neck..its red.
Scarecrow..I can't tell for certain, because I haven't opened them (still on the fence about that), but his cane looks to be possibly molded in.

It will be $30 plus shipping. How much is shipping ? (All I want is Clock King, and I'm still hoping that he will show up in the Batman:BatB line.)

What up everyone I'm new here! I think these figures are awesome but every time I show people the set they ask "where is Clock King's hat?!" How do you guys feel about this? I'm a little bothered by it but am happy to get any new Batman Animated style figures.

I'm a little bothered by it but am happy to get any new Batman Animated style figures. Hello and welcome to the boards. Im thrilled with the figs but do wish they had gone with the BTAS version of Clock King. Especially since the rest of this set features retro BTAS/TNBA character designs. Plus CK is bland enough as is, why not give him some personality? Im ok with the JLU design but he shouldve had his hat and painted glasses and his cane IMO (why not? Scarecrow got his walking stick). I think CK's hat wouldve compensated for the scale issue of his head appearing too small on that body. I think its funny how Clock King is taller than Bane lol. Oh well. Im just thrilled we're getting them.

I am very much looking forward to this set. Ive wanted an "official" TNBA Bane and Scarecrow since the series debuted! Im a bit disappointed with Clock King and wish they would have chosen another character other than Harley for the fourth. Like Mad Hatter. Hopefully if this set sells well, we can look forward to another exclusive set.
Batman Beyond Royal Flush Gang perhaps?

Oh, now I could really get behind a Beyond Royal Flush gang set...although a JLU one would be great too!
I really hope for a lot more Beyond figures. We could use most of the major villains and characters done in plastic...Inque, Spellbinder, Shriek, Stalker...heck even Max. You could proabably do a Max off of a JLU Vixen...hmm, I smell a custom coming on....

Batman Beyond characters are what I most desire out of the extended JLU license. There are a few remaining JLU characters I really want and a couple TNBA, but I'm really aching for BB.

Matty Collector has so many problems. they didnt set their site up properly. i heard that so many people had problems ordering the MOTU Classics and Giganta. they said that you had to continually refresh the page and put in your info again. this doesnt surprise me at all.

Are these in scale with the Hasbro TNBA figures?

Are these in scale with the Hasbro TNBA figures? Esentially yes. Clock King especially as he shares the original Two-Face mold. The other 3 are just barely smaller as they use the current JLU molds. The old BTAS and TNBA figs mix adequately within the Mattel JLU line (imo)... though some less so than others.
