MisterPL Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=10&itemid=29382 I'm really hoping Mondo offers a Giganta figure so she's in scale with these 6-inch figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediJohnson Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Thanks for this; ordered, delivered, waiting to be opened. But, it does have the right hips as your pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other collectors have stated the updated version is the one currently on Amazon. And I'm pretty sure both BTAS and TNBA versions have the same articulation.

JediJohnson Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Has anyone purchased the Batsignal/Batman/Robin combo? If so, what did you think? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergiofml Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I purchased it. I´m overall very happy with it, but i´m a sucker for the Timmverse so... Batman and Robin have the clothe capes to enter on the batmobile. The signal is functional and pretty awesome IMHO. But if you are not a completist, there are other options. The Batsignal only does not justify the purchase. Hope it helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Watching prices on Amazon is like being a day trader in the stock market. I saw that Deluxe Batmobile set for $121.00 and told myself I'd pull the trigger if it dipped below $120.00... because that was my ridiculously arbitrary threshold. Now it's back up to full retail and I'm kicking myself. Glad you're happy with the purchase, sergioml. Are you running out of space yet?

sergiofml Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 You're totally right MisterPL. Seeing Amazon prices should be avoided if you have heart problems. About my space, I'm close to reach my limit. I've skipped only a few figures and the Batwing. That plane is a beauty, but also a monster. My wife's patience is like my storage capacity right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 I hear that. I just got Talia and Firefly, both of whom dropped below $20 on Amazon (which is my threshold). I really only need Bullock of the released figures to feel complete, though I don't have some of the duplicate villains. Oh, and the Batman Beyond set. It's a shame that Alfred is only coming in the playset, because I just don't have the room for it. I have that damn Batmobile sitting on my office floor because I bought it when the price was too low to resist, even though I knew I had no place to put it.

MisterPL Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Vehicles in this scale are like furniture. The Batmobile demands a shelf of its own. The Batwing either needs a round, glass coffee table or a creative wall mount. I'm wondering if the designers looked at IKEA showcases when they determined the dimensions of that Batcave.

MisterPL Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Now I'm suddenly in the market for that coffee table. I just checked in on Amazon and the Batwing was priced at $119.95. The trigger has been pulled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergiofml Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 You are brave, man. I still keep an eye on it, but I do not know who will be tougher with me, my own conscience or my wife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Brave or dumb? The package arrives today. I'm kinda dreading it because I already catch flack for being "tough to buy for" from my wife AND kids since I do stuff like this. My birthday's coming up in two weeks so "Happy Birthday to ME!"

MisterPL Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'll have to switch over to a new image hosting site but, yeah, I'll be sharing a pic or two. Might be a couple weeks if my wife finds out what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 No pics yet but I thought I'd let anyone interested know that the Batwing is available on Amazon for less that $104. Again, that's down from the MSRP of $175. I really need to stop checking that site because at this rate I'll buy a second just to get a rebate on the first. https://www.amazon.com/DC-Collectibles-Batman-Animated-Batwing/dp/B01DLERQI0/ref=sr_1_7?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1506105932&sr=1-7&keywords=dc+collectibles+batman+the+animated+series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 This particular purchase flew right under my wife's nose. It was delivered to our house while she was home and I was at work. I came through the back door expecting her to say, "You got a BIG PACKAGE today!" ("That's what she said.") Nothing, from her OR the kids. According to the tracking link, it had been delivered so I was a little worried. I peeked out front and there it was, on our steps, a box the size of a small coffin with the words "BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES BATWING" printed on the outside. I managed to bring it onto the enclosed front porch with no one noticing. About 30 minutes later my wife said she was taking the kids out for ice cream but I said I'd stay behind. They all walked right past the thing. (Hey, they love their ice cream.) Right now it's at work under my desk. I opened it a couple nights ago with some co-workers who were living vicariously through my addiction and then put it right back in the box. I'll bring it home tonight since I'll have the house to myself thanks to work and school schedules aligning. So yeah, I think I'm pretty easy to buy for... but timing is everything.

sergiofml Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Great story! I´ve felt very identified! This hobby should be considered a risk sport. One of the advantages of collecting Minimates over other figures is that they are much more easier to hide or justify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I had trouble fitting the damn thing in the trunk of my car! In other news, I picked up the new Riddler and the "Mad Love" 2-pack today at my LCS. Between the balance on my gift card and a 20% off sale I paid $15. Happy Batman Day!

hellpop Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 I saw the Gotham's Most Wanted set at a comics store last night. Nice, but the price is way way way too high right now. One to keep an eye on though. And Bullock has finally dropped below $20 on Amazon, so I just bought him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 That's a good price for Harvey. I might pay $125 for that 5-pack. It does remind me of another set I skipped because I already had all the figures. https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Batman-Robin-ROGUES-GALLERY/dp/B000X1EZEI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
