Batman Forever wave: Batman, Robin, Riddler, Two-Face
Batman Returns wave: Batman (movie accurate costume, not just a repaint), Catwoman, Penguin, Max Schreck
Batman wave: Batman, Joker, Bruce Wayne, Jack Napier
Batman '89 comic wave: Batman, Harvey Dent, Two-Face, Robin
Batman Echoes comic wave: Batman, Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, Batgirl

I'd also love Alfred and Commissioner Gordon, and since they were in all four films, they could come in any movie wave.

I've been saying this for a while now (albeit nowhere near as expansive as this impressive lineup) in keeping with the build a figure for BnR wave, your rosters could even be +1 per set. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Sugar and Spice with a Forever wave, as they could look good with two-face (and almost certainly present some interesting bases for customs). Carrey Riddler with a couple little green bat bombs, cane, hat? Sign me up. Returns mayoral penguin and kim kardashian onesie penguin? Catwoman with unmasked pfeiffer alternate head, couple alternate hands with claws, helicopter umbrella, and whip? So much potential. I know not all DC collectors are necessarily movie fans and/or want movie figures over others but all the metal, ice age, etc etc silliness that peg warms seems like a waste when we could be getting some great movie figures. *cue rolling stones*

I actually hadn't. But, weirdest thing, it somehow wound up on my preorder list almost immediately after you posted the link. I don't know how these things manage to happen.

That's what gets me. I'm all for obscure comic-specific figures, but there's a reason the Movie Bats stuff has proven to be more difficult to get than Jim Gordon as Batman or Hush, who seem to multiply Gremlins-style at my local Walmart. I'd love some movie deep cuts. Bob the Goon and Lawrence the Boombox Guy would be day one buys for me. Hell, let's think about the future and get Lt. Eckhardt, too.

Funny, I bought a SW Porkins figure just to use the head for an Eckhardt. "Don't be writing this stuff in your articles, Knox, you'll ruin your already useless reputation."

Snagged the Manta sub set off Prime for $13 and it's worth about that much. It's got some decent light/sound effects but it feels kinda cheap all over, with shoddy construction overall such as the seat canopy wobbling in the hinge and the tail fins/Manta trident being all rubbery and warped. But the real stinger of Spin's incompetence is that neither figure can even sit in the cockpit. Neither figure can bring their legs together to fit in the A-frame seat nor can they bring their thighs up enough into a sitting position to put their asses on the seat leather.

Fuck sakes, y'all. I don't expect perfection from any toy company but I do expect every toy company to fucking *try*.

That's not McFarlane's fault. DC doesn't want their figures coming with guns. But to his credit, Todd's done a workaround with the weapons packs. There're more than enough rifles there to load out the Main Man.

I almost ordered that but the buckle bugs the shit out of me. Why didn't they sculpt it with the strap going beneath the buckle?!
