Raving Toy Maniac

Got this in the mail yesterday from China:

Have Sinestro Corps Hal, Red Azbats and Battle damaged Batman coming too, got them all cheaper than the 2-packs will be if they ever get released, good deal for me since I would have opened them anyway.

So the Avenger figures were moved to a different section to the toy isle to make way for the Spiderman movie figures. It appeared that the limited amount of Spiderman was just an intial case just for spacing purposes. There was no Lizard figure on the shelf, or perhaps someone just bought all the Lizard figures.

The figures are 3 3/4 inches. I was hoping to find the Ultimate Spiderman figure in this scale but no luck. I am not exactly sure if this figure will be in the Marvel Universe or in a Spiderman series.

Anyway, the peg warmer Spiderman figures are out.

The Spiderman figures will join the Iron Man 2 figures and Green Lantern figures in the clearance isles shortly...lol

So the repainted Batman 3 figures hit the shelves and there next to them are these comic book almost animated larger figures right next to them. The Batman movie figures are like 5.98 and the bigger animated comic book figure, which includes a Robin. Robin has a red stripe in his hair, it looked cool, Sorry about the poor quality, it was from my phone camera
I also included a picture of the Batman Movie figure
I dont remember these being at Toy Fair 2012

I'm trying to avoid calling Matty's Customer Service... but I really can't seem to figure out the invoice that came with my Club Infinite Earths Jay Garick The Flash.

(BTW - I am a subscriber of both Club Eternia and Club Infinite Earths)

The Jay Garick Flash invoice lists the following:
CLUB INFINITE EARTHS 2012 SUBSCRIPTION - INITIAL FIGURE - $15.00

TAX - $2.19
S&H CHARGE - $10.55
PRODUCT TOTAL - $35.00

TOTAL = $47.74

Why is the product total $35? Is the cost of the subscription $20?

However....

When I looked up the order on the Matty website... the exact same order number lists the total as $100.87

That invoice lists:
MOTUC Subscription - $20
MOTUC Sub Figure Shadow Weaver - $20
DC Club Subscription $30
DC Club Figure $15
Subtotal = $85

Plus -
$10.55 Shipping
$5.32 Tax
TOTAL = $100.87

I thought I already paid for Shadow Weaver in February.

I'm so confused.

Just wanted to check if anyone can see something obvious that I'm missing... before calling their fabulous customer service people.

Thanks.

While I'm not a big DCUC collector, I have bought a couple of the female characters and was just wondering, with the line seemingly on its way out (of stores, at least), has Mattel said anything about releasing Poison Ivy or Huntress? It's crazy that both of these characters have been held back for 20+ waves when they are a lot more high-profile than characters that have been released.

Are they planned to be exclusives? Did I miss an announcement? What gives?

I picked up the new G.I. Joe Retaliation Roadblock figure today to review in the Daily Toy Review, and was pretty flabbergasted to read in his bio and the overall bio for the line that Roadblock is "the ultimate ninja commando" and gives G.I. Joe "top-secret ninja training".

...Is this a joke?!

I love The Rock (really), and I don't mind that ninjutsu has become a major part of G.I. Joe, but... seriously? The Rock is now leading G.I. Joe as a ninja master and teaching G.I. Joe top-secret ninja techniques?!?!

Man. No wonder Hasbro delayed this G.I. Joe Retaliation movie into next year. With any luck, someone at Hasbro read the script and flipped out...

Images and speculation here...

Dark Knight Rises Quicktek figures

There were two Banes in the case I got.

They look good, but Bane sticks out because he's not nearly as detailed. I believe the base figures are all recycled except for him? Air Strike Batman was definitely from Dark Knight, but I haven't picked up too many in this scale, so I didn't recognize the Command Claw Batman (my favorite)
