Beware the Batman is a great figure to go with the slick new cartoon that I have a feeling will be devoid of new figures. I liked to see this fresh take on the design of the Dark Knight and to have a new Batman in my meager collection. Have I mentioned how pitiful it is.
I have finally begun to receive my Batman figures which are months late but still very appreciated. I am still desperately looking for my Batmobile from this new 6 inch line to arrive in the mail and I have been assured that it's on it's way. Great to have the Riddler, the Frank Gorshan version. I also like the green suit with the green bowler hat look but they won't be producing that look.

Its strange that the Riddler bowler hat and suit variant won't be available, because that costume originated from the '60s show. Apparently Frank Gorshin had it in his contract that he had to have an alternate costume that wouldn't showcase his "riddle".
Mountie Barbie is still quite a sight, only now that she's next to Batman every time I see her I'm going to think she's Giganta's cousin the 7 and 1/2 Foot Tall Canadian Woman!
I'm just sad we won't get Batgirl, Egghead, King Tut, a Surf's Up Joker Joker, and (what should be a no-brainer as all they would need to do is a head sculpt) an Eartha Kitt Catwoman!! I would also expect the line would have had a Robin in single pack long after us mere mortals would have bought the 2-pack of the figures and opened the boxes (still waiting for them to come back and say sales were so good they're doing 1 more series...). I would also expect they would either pack in the regular Batman or do some alternate Batman for the line... I would think Eartha would have been an exclusive somewhere... Or so it would have made sense... I would even be okay not getting Alfred, the Commish, and Chief O'Hara to get the ones above!!
I think this line will do very very well from what I have seen and read so we can expect a whole other set next summer I suspect. These are really terrific figures and appeal to both collector and those who are nostalgic for the show.
