Where is my DCUC Hush, Jason Todd/Red Hood and Knightquest Batman?
Hush. He's one of the coolest Batman villains of all time IMHO..(err..just don't stop reading once you get to "Heart of Hush" at which point his character takes a nosedive.
Jason Todd..The Red Hood...Batman's only real "failure"...another of my fav characters and an anti-hero to me.
Azrael/Batman in Knightquest red & gold...from the 2 pack....
Will Hush and Jason Todd ever see the light of day? Should I stop holding my breath? My extremities are getting numb..
And when is that Azbat/Battle Damaged Batman 2 pack hitting???
Everything I've purchased from comics to figures has been Marvel related these past few months.
I have been hounding both Toys R Us and Mattel over the last week about the AzBats/Battle Damaged Batman 2-pack, but I've been given the runaround. Mattel says the product has shipped to stores, but both my local store and corporate deny that they've even heard anything about it. Corporate said that when an item they believe will be hot is about to be released, they usually get a memo about it. They've seen nothing. My local store said they haven't heard anything either.
Not sure what's going on here.
That's not encouraging, and with All Stars and Young Justice cancelled... I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop with Mattel. This has become my favorite toy line of all time, and I welcome any of the suggestions listed above.
Left in limbo since they seemed to go after stuff they thought was "hot" like the Rainbow Lanterns or super obscure crap that would not sell at retail like the "Superfriends" wave. They were better off when they were mixing in a few obscure characters with characters with more mainstream appeal. That does not mean a Batman every wave, that's a ludicrous extreme people often bring up. I mean stuff like more Bat-Rogues and different incarnations of heroes (Wally West, Kyle Rayner, Conner Hawk, Jay Garrick etc.) By trying to save one "headliner" for each wave to put with a bunch of obscure guys, people just grabbed the headliner, BAF be damned, especially at 15 to 20 bucks a figure. At least with the latest Legends waves, I'm usually left 2 figures shy of completing the BAF so I bite the bullet on figures I don't want. It's been a long time since I've gotten a DCUC (last time I bought some was when Mattel shop had Wave 19 at 50%)

Thanks for sharing in event man. I know that AzBat is going to be the last version I see of him for the forseable future, so I hope he makes it to shelves/
