My Walmarts (6 different ones within a 50 mile radius) are all Batmans, and a few Banes. Sad

All of the Wal Marts that I've seen here in South Texas are the 3-Batman, 2-Banes and 1-Alfred. I heard that someone in California was able to find Gordon. So much for the Wal Mart Exclusive. It's a sub-exclusive to certain Wal Marts. Kinda of like the 6" Avengers. Only one Wal Mart that I know of within 60 miles of me had the first assortment last year and now they were the only ones to get this next assortment. Why not share the distribution Wal Mart? It always seems to be the same ones that get the good stuff. I wonder if that is a coincidence or someone in charge of distribution is stuck in a rut.

No, but my friend found both TRU Catwomans at one shot, same store.

No luck here in Miami. Checked 1 WM on Sat, and 2 on Sun. and only one had Movie Masters in stock, and no Gordon.

Brian, what's the TRU Catwoman? Is this another surprise exclusive?

The Catwoman people are reporting is the regular one as far as I can tell; the only TRU exclusive I know of is the two pack with Batman and shirtless Bane.

All of my Walmarts have the MM figures, but I haven't seen anything other than the regular 3-2-1 assortments already mentioned. Does anyone know if this Gordon is different from the two-pack version released a while back?

The Catwoman has 2 versions: Goggles Up with her pointy hears and standard eye glasses and a goggles down which look like swim goggles. There is a noticeable difference between each. I saw them on ebay as I had wondered if he had somehow gotten rooked with a repack and they were there yesterday and are now gone.

I held these in my hand so I know it's real and can confirm.

They also had Batman/Bane 2 packs..Bane looks terrible while Batman has coppery shades on his armor.

I have yet to buy any MM but am pondering Alfred. Bane looks terrible to me, even worse in the TRU 2 pk.

Oh, OK, you're talking about the 2 Catwoman fig variants. I bought mine on Amazon so they're not limited to TRU. Happened to get the goggles up variant.

Yes, it's different. He even has an axe, kind of makes him look like a serial killer. I found this pic online. Again, I haven't seen him myself.

Ah, the axe makes sense if the rumors of him coming with an alternate shattered Batsignal piece are true. It looks like the figure itself is the same in a different colored suit.

Thanks for the picture; hadn't actually seen any pics prior to this.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. It is the same figure, just a different color scheme. I was thinking that in my head as I typed, but it never made it to my fingers. Oops.

Well--if anyone finds one, I'd be willing to pay a little extra for him!
