So there's confusion going on in my brain currently about these new mighty minis. This post will have 2 parts; my current background knowledge of the line, and the questions I have about said line's continuity so far, let's get started
Part 1: Background So correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that not many people know/care about these blind bag wonders so let me fill you in. These figures are about 2 inches in scale, made of a some of that good ol' vinyl, and have swappable limbs. So far, this line's been really confusing; the first Mix of figures that were released were mainly under the batman unlimited title card with some BvS minis thrown in. The lineup is as follows: Batman Unlimited Series 1 BATMAN (BLUE/GREY SUIT) BATMAN (STEALTH) ROBIN GREEN ARROW FLASH CYBORG BvS Series 1 SUPERMAN BATMAN (ARMORED) SUPERMAN (KRYPTONITE) SUPERMAN (KRYPTONIAN) BATMAN (KRYPTONITE GAUNTLET) Which is all well and good. (and I've managed to find all of these, sometimes discounted at my local gamestop which will add to more confusion later) The next Mix of figures brought out a tiny bit of confusion as they packed in series 1 of the BvS figures along side series 2 of the BvS figures. They are as follows: BvS Series 1 SUPERMAN SUPERMAN (KRYPTONITE) BvS Series 2 BATMAN WONDER WOMAN AQUAMAN BATMAN (ARMORED) LUTHOR (ARMOR) BATMAN (X-RAY VISION) WONDER WOMAN (METALLIC BRACELET) Lastly, and most confusingly, we go to the current Mix that incorporates yet again, series 1 and series 2 but with a random new figure BvS Series 1 SUPERMAN BATMAN (ARMORED) SUPERMAN (KRYPTONITE) SUPERMAN (KRYPTONIAN) BATMAN (KRYPTONITE GAUNTLET) BvS Series 2 BATMAN AQUAMAN LUTHOR (ARMOR) BATMAN (X-RAY VISION) WONDER WOMAN (METALLIC BRACELET) BvS Series 3? BATMAN (BLACK SUIT) These listings are all lifted and modified from BBTS. Part 2: Confusion Now that you're either all caught up or just skipped to this part, I've got a few questions: 1. You know how I said I got some mighty minis from game stop? The box I looked through only had the Batman Unlimited figures in it, no BvS series 1 figures at all. What box did I pick from? Is there no listing of that box on BBTS? Where did all my money go? 2. I see listings for a kryptonite superman, x-ray batman, and metallic bracelet wonder woman but I've never come across them! Are these 3 referring to the gold superman, silver batman, and bronze wonder woman? Because that's all that I can figure. 3. What the heck is up with "series 3 black suit batman"? He's listed as series 3 on bbts but on the box he's listed as series 2. This confusion lead me to believe that Mix 2 was on the shelves when in actuality Mix 3 is now on the shelves. 4. Who's idea was it to put wonder woman in Mix 2 but not in Mix 3? Why is the only available wonder woman mighty mini a chase variant? Am I looking into this too much? Am I butthurt over nothing? 5. What happened to Mix 2? Was I not there for it when it was happening? did I just miss it? Where am I supposed to find wonder woman? marked up in the after market? no sir! 6. What the heck is this? www.neobits.com/images/u67rtyert250/DK/DKN51.jpg like, I'm legitimately confused! not only does this set here have new characters we haven't seen before, it has VILLAINS! And please oh please, just tell me what those bikes are and where to get them! What series is this? does it come in a mix? Why do I only find images for these on back waters sights or foreign sites? 7. Guys c'mon... what's this now? www.dccollectors.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/mm-bat.jpg Was there a Batman Unlimited Series 2 that I completely missed? What's the Black and gold batman that's on there? where is that? was series 2 Batman Unlimited ever really a thing? this post was from the beginning of this year!! In short, I don't understand this toyline and I need some help so if anyone out there has been collecting / following this line please let me know. Also if you need codes (which are found on the back at the bottom left corner of every bag) I only know the Identifying Letter at the end of each string of codes: Batman Unlimited S1 A = Batman in Blue and Grey B = Batman Beyond E = Robin F = Green Arrow G = Flash H = Cyborg BvS S1 I = Superman J = Armored Batman K = Gold Superman N = Kryptonian Superman O = Kryptonite Batman BvS S2 P = Batman Q = Wonder Woman R = Aqua Man S = Lex Luthor T = Silver Batman U = Bronze Wonder Woman V = Black Suit Batman Last edited by Frozenstratos; 04-03-2016 at 06:05 PM.. |

So here's what i know. (which granted isn't much but hopefully it helps)
There's 3 separate lines here. Bat Man Unlimited Bat Man v Super Man WWE Depending on where you're located there are different mixes available. Up here in Canada we're expecting Mix 2 within the next month or so. For BvS, mix 1, they combined the tray/dump bin (whatever you want to call it) with Bat Man Unlimited. Bat Man Unlimited Mix 1 only has Bat Man Unlimited figs. Here's where it gets confusing. In some regions, Mix 2 was mixed up with mix 1. LIke up here with WWE, they combined the first 2 mixes into 1. Which is really annoying as I can't get the only one I wanted (Bret Hart) as I can't find him anywhere. So even though the tray may say Mix 3 or mix 2, the content is more than likely all mixed. 6 & 7. Haven't seen those yet but it makes sense that they'd do vehicles/playsets. They have playsets in the WWE mighty mini line. So i wouldn't be surprised to see playsets for DC as well. As for the names of the figures i have no idea what the official names are. I have multiples of the mix for BvS (minus the gold superman). Kryptonian Superman is the all black superman deco. Kryptonian Batman is the armored batman in all black with green highlights. No idea on series 2 yet as i haven't seen them yet. |

Also, if you get the hotwheels superman pack with the Metropolis PD Charger you will get a Supes with skins colors hands unlike the others that were blue.

I believe you click the earth with the link icon. Or put your photos in photobucket and copy and paste the link into the box after clicking the photo icon.

I'm a new member so I can't post links yet, so I modified them
I guess we'll start off easy. I don't have any paints on hand to test these customs out yet so I'll show the closest approximation I can Reverse Flash Recipe: Flash yellow paint Wet Suit Batman Recipe: Kryptonite batman head black batman body no cape no paint needed Superboy Recipe: Kryptonian superman chest and arms superman legs no cape black paint over the grey cape bits red paint for new symbol... or find a good waterslide decal Red Robin Recipe: Flash Head with clipped wings Flash arms (just to differentiate) robin body and legs any black cape black paint on head and armor on arms yellow paint for symbol or decals Extra Notes: There's a photo that I mentioned in my first post about how there was a mysterious wave of figures for batman unlimited that I'd never seen and there was a red robin in the wave, if you want to make an accurate one, don't put the flash's arms there, I only did because it's kinda different Arsenal (young justice inspired-ish) Recipe: green arrow legs Cyborg Arms robin everything else red paint for the legs and mask black paint where you see fit add extra orange for a design like the green arrow's figure and on hair Robin (Damian Wayne) Recipe: Kryptonite batman arms and legs Robin torso, head, and cape Nightwing Recipe: Robin head Batman Beyond everything else Black paint over the whole body and limbs blue/red (I prefer blue) to make it look like a proper Nightwing, keep the paint to the upper chest armor and maybe some trim on the bladed portions Extra Notes: 1. if you squint real hard, this makes a passable red nightwing 2. The same picture of the mysterious wave had a nightwing used a repainted body of robin instead of batman beyond Last edited by Frozenstratos; 07-22-2016 at 11:52 PM.. Reason: add pictures |

The blind bagged figures don't really interest me, but I'm kinda tempted to get the ones that come packed in with a car. Though I find it odd that the Metropolis police car that comes with Superman doesn't have any kind of light bar on it, but does have a sun roof for some reason.

I began to wonder that myself as well! I know for a fact it exists since I found a few on ebay for some ridiculous prices. I think what may have happened was that a lot of stores just skipped mix 2 (the only mix with regular wonder woman) and only got mix 1 then mix 3. I don't know that these things are flying off the shelves, a few targets I went to had a bunch of ripped open figures strewn about while walmarts still had a lot left over. I really hope in the future, if we do get another mix that it'll come with a regular wonder woman. I don't know why the only mix out only has the stupid bronze chase figure that no one wants.

While it's ultimately up to you, I'd say pick it up. it's a pretty nice gateway into the mighty minis and if you don't end up liking it, then you have a few nifty vehicles and the title heroes at a price that doesn't break the bank. the light bar thing does bother me though. >.>
Anyways, the missing light bar is enough to make me pass on the Superman set, so I might just get the Batman one.
