DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

Hrmph.

Wonderful. Freakin' Mattel.

Antony916 · 03-31-2015, 10:51 AM

And all I can think of now is what could have been….. NightWing and Croc

snake5289 · 03-31-2015, 10:53 AM

Oh man I was really looking forward to that set. Alright I'm no longer stunned. I'm pissed off.

Poison Shadow · 03-31-2015, 10:54 AM

No Arkham Catwoman, either. At least I assume the Date Night set is now a no-go.

snake5289 · 03-31-2015, 10:57 AM

Yup. Just more fuel for the fire.

Poison Shadow · 03-31-2015, 11:02 AM

I'm hopeful about two things:

Maybe Mattel is simply re-branding the line, and all previously-revealed items will still see a release in some form.

Or:

Maybe DCC will step up where Mattel blundered, like they're doing with the new 6" Icons toyline, and they'll restart their own 3.75" line.

What hurts the most is that I passed on Harley Quinn & The Joker figure so many times because I had the case of six on pre-order... Gotta run to Target, wish me luck.

snake5289 · 03-31-2015, 11:08 AM

Good luck mate.

Been debating it for about 2 weeks now but it looks like I'll be ordering Arkham Origins Batman off of Amazon after all. Maybe Hush too.

deathofthelines · 03-31-2015, 11:36 AM

Fuck! Thats just bullshit. Fuck it guess I'm out of collecting. First marvel u drops articulation and the multiverse is gone. Let me guess the only 3 3/4 line is gonna be that reaction crap. No offence if you love that line. Damn the could have put night wing out then killed the line I wouldn't be so mad if they had done that but they literally killed the line before I got my favorite character. Hit me

WeaponEversor · 03-31-2015, 11:46 AM

Hey, guys, I just joined up to tell you that the Nightwing/Killer Croc 2-pack is available at amazon.

Anyone want to get revenge like that cartoon Dan vs?

3233rafael · 03-31-2015, 02:17 PM

The strange thing though is that these are still on pre-order... Why didn't they "discontinued" these ones???

Ravenxl7 · 03-31-2015, 02:30 PM

I think you're all overreacting. Sounds like Mattel is just stopping production of that assortment of figures. As it's been pointed out the preorders for the new figures (that haven't seen release) are still up.

Autobot_Goldbug · 03-31-2015, 04:39 PM

plus why would they issue a survey on them?

Unfortunately this means we have no choice but to cancel all preorders for the following items because they will no longer be produced:

MAT15864 DC Comics Multiverse 4" Figure Series N - Case of 12
MAT15865 DC Comics Multiverse 4" Figure Series P - Case of 12
MAT15866 DC Comics Multiverse 4" Figure Series P - Set of 6

MAT15869 DC Comics Multiverse 4" Figure Series P - Harley Quinn (Zeppelin)
MAT15870 DC Comics Multiverse 4" Figure Series P - Zeppelin Character
MAT15803 DC Comics Multiverse 4" Figure Series E - Case of 12

This list includes the affected DC Comics Multiverse 4” Figure item(s) that you have preordered.

We apologize deeply for the inconvenience and disappointment this causes you and we understand how frustrating it is to anticipate an item only to find out it will not be available after all. Please know that if these items are re-solicted in the future, we will be sure to list them on our website again.

We truly appreciate your understanding and continued business.

Sincerely,

BBTS Customer Care

Wow!!! I am speechless.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

rustyrob · 03-31-2015, 06:07 PM

Well I guess that means I won't be posting here anymore... This is horrible news... I hope we get Night wing some way some how..

Ninjinister · 03-31-2015, 06:24 PM

Man if you're gonna cancel it (which I don't advise), at least bring out what you've already said was coming out!

rustyrob · 03-31-2015, 07:39 PM

I feel like our time (mainly mine) as 3.75/4.00 collectors could be coming to an end... With this news and with how marvel/Hasbro have been neglecting us and adding 6 inch star wars I don't see much of a future... DOOM!!! DOOM!!!

Man I passed on numerous jokers, Quinn's, and arkham knight batman thinking I will wait for the date night pack to get cat woman, guess I'll be out hunting too!
I don't know what's happening to 3.75" scale... It's like some type of STD ghost... "It follows."

Maybe they are already produced or far enough in production that they can't cancel them at this point

Which I pray to god is true, I WANT MY FUCKING DEATHSTROKE

boombatty · 03-31-2015, 10:58 PM

Perhaps it is time to rename this the:
DC 3.75/4" Unappreciation Thread

I too am in shock by this latest fallout.

Damn Mattel, make them a kickstarter, I don't care, just get us our plastic crack.

tlasjr · 04-01-2015, 12:10 AM

On a positive note the BBTS site updated my preorders for the batman 66/beyond and deathstroke figures to say "april" instead of march. As yesterday they said March it seems strange they would update those preorders and cancel others.
