I saw the post on Hiya FB about what is shipping and if it isn't on the list it wont ship til after November. It doesn't look good for us fans of IJ2 figs that's for sure. They had so much promise too. The roster of characters really had the making of an all time great line.

Really wish the newer stuff was easier to find. The older stock is selling in most of the stores I go to but we’ve gotten to that odd modern toy aisle phenomenon when half a peg doesn’t generate new product. The same sad 4-5 figures just hang there with no new product to support the

I've decided not to go after every Spin Master figure, but I do want to get Talon, Firefly and Luthor. All I ever see are Joker, Robin and Superman. Over and over. I might pick up Batwoman if I Can find one that is painted properly.
Any idea why Walmart only carries the Batman side?

Does that mean that stuff is a retailer exclusive or just that one store decided not to carry it? I've no idea. |

I just saw a Batwoman, almost bought it, then i noticed the hairline was painted poorly. I tell ya, I haven't seen poor paint apps on any Spin Master figure except Batwoman. It's her hair, her boots, her gloves.....I don't get it. I want to get these so bad but I hold off. I just got the IJ2 Aquaman so I passed up the SM version. I'm basically looking for the figures from Super Powers that didn't get the Hiya treatment. I was a big fan of the Super Friends cartoon, and I want to make those guys that don't come out. The Wonder Twins and Gleek especially. Maybe SM will make them. I hope.

Yeah, it's tough going right now (especially with finding a decently painted Batwoman). I've noticed the Walmart Bats-only thing too. Weird thing is, walmart.com carries the DC Heroes United (or whatever) stuff too, but I've never actually seen any of that in a physical store.
The frustrating thing is there's no list of what to expect or where. Like, I've seen some stuff only at either Target or Walmart, but never both. Does that mean that stuff is a retailer exclusive or just that one store decided not to carry it? I've no idea. Keep in mind that we're still a good month or so from a full fall reset. I'm sure a LOT of this stuff will roll out to stores that will carry them. Walmart will still be a crap shoot like it has always been. Hell, I didn't even know new waves were slipping out. My gut feeling is that we'll see a lot of those new figures seen at Toy Fair end up mixed in a new single figure assortment, plus vehicles, exclusives and multipacks.

My IJ2 Darkseids are coming! Apparently I fucked up and pre-ordered 4 of them. That's one to be Darkseid (natch) and one for a Thanos custom... Any terrific suggestions for the other two?
