That 1/12 stuff is impressive. I'm still miffed with myself for not paying attention and grabbing that 89 Batman Mezco did.
IIRC, Spin Masters has some sort of modular Batcave-thing coming this fall. I finally saw Batwoman and Killer Moth (and black suit Joker). I'm starting to suspect my local store HAS been restocking, but new stuff might be short changed for wave 1 refreshes.

I bought Mega Gear Bronze Tiger off Amazon. I'd rather have the random mission gear than the... whatever the mega gear thing is. But at least it's an extra $5 toward actual stuff and not a poor distribution and scalper tax. It doesn't have the white feet that were shown at Toy Fair, but the gear lost some paint apps, too.
https://www.amazon.com/BATMAN-4-inch.../dp/B084XL2L9P The Mega Gear 'Rebirth Tactical' Batman set is okay but the real problem is that it's cheaper to buy the deluxe variant on Amazon than it is the mission gear Rebirth Tactical figure.

Considering McFarlane's heavy lean into Batman for their DC figures, I'm sure they'll get to him sooner rather than later. Granted, they're 1/10 instead of 1/12 but the Mezco and Figuarts(?) offerings are way too expensive for how much they got wrong. I'd rather spend $20 and get 90% there than $100-150 to get 95%.

And with 89 Batman being a tricky licensing issue, I’m more on the side of paying more to get an overall better product. I really don’t see McFarlane getting “90% there” with a theoretical 89 Batman figure, and I’d rather spend 3x more to get a superior product. SH Figuarts isn’t my first choice, but it’s 95% there. Unless Mezco mentions another run for Batman 89....

Well, let's see if today brings me Lex and Panties. That's the title of my new song.
