Y'all hear the news about DC Direct? Seems it's no more thanks to massive layoffs by WB.

For me, I can't justify high-end prices for an '89 Batman that isn't perfect. Figuarts didn't get Keaton's likeness, Mezco got the body texture all wrong, and with that gummy-looking seamless body you can't do anything to fix it yourself. They both messed up the capes (albeit in different ways) and the accessories just baffle me. Both of them have gadgets that were never used, but skip a whole bunch that were? Where are the line launcher attachments, like the bola and iconic grappling hook? The extending palm panel? Gas capsules? Batmobile remote? A collapsed batarang? Instead Mezco has the time bomb, and Figuarts has the ninja wheels. Believe it or not, though, both of those gadgets got screentime in the movie. Right here: Can't see them? Right here! It's one of those "we didn't watch the movie, but did look through the art book and that looked nifty" things that I just can't get past. Maybe if '89 wasn't such an iconic part of my childhood that I still adore, flaws and all, but it is and it hurts to see something that should be so good falling so short. I can't justify the shortcomings to myself the same way I could with a $20 figure.

I found a Batwoman finally. Still looking for Lex and panties.

Panties--with or without someone inside them--are easy, man (as you know), but Lex...ay carumba! Might as well just search for world peace.

I had to try and order the Batman/Clayface set in the link above for a gift, and I say "try" because I ended up having to order it three times since they kept sending me the Copperhead pack instead. So maybe try that and get a Copperhead and shitty Bat-quad for $11.00.

I gave up on finding Lex and Talon. I kinda got burnt out going to Target.
I can go to Walmart and possibly find Joes and a Power Droid so I'll have to live without Lex.

Well, if I ever find another, it's yours. I know how you feel though. I don't think I'll ever see Talon, Firefly or single-pack Bronze Tiger, so I don't even bother anymore. This line is just goofy. I read there's yet another fucking Killer Croc variant showing up. They apparently would rather keep re-releasing the same shit in different colors instead of figures people actually want to buy. Makes a ton of sense...
