I registered just to add my two cents to this. My Black Canary pre-order hasn't been cancelled yet, but I pre-ordered right after it went live, so it could be that Amazon is now getting less than they originally ordered and they "over-sold" as a result. Maybe they're only cancelling the orders that came in later they won't be able to fulfill (first come, first served). Amazon has had all upcoming Hiya Injustice figs, including Black Canary, listed as "unavailable" for some time now and I think that might mean they received notice Hiya wouldn't be producing these figures in large numbers and, as alluded to earlier, Amazon will only be getting a limited number. So, basically, I think production numbers were cut, which cut Amazon's order quantity and that means they won't be able to fulfill all the pre-orders they accepted. Watch BBTS & EE. If preorders there suddenly disappear en mass, that probably means something deeper is up.

So does anyone know how many Batman variants are in this Spin Master line so far?

Il Cattivo · 02-02-2020, 06:35 PM

gray, tactical, gold, blue (walmart), black(target), green(three pack) and batcycle batman. I think that's it.

There's also the blue & gray (classic colors) Mega Gear Bats. I dig that one for nostalgia's sake.

snake5289 · 02-02-2020, 06:57 PM

There's like 8 or 9 that I know of.

That's my favorite one so far I have to get a extra so I can open him.

Il Cattivo · 02-02-2020, 07:12 PM

tactical bats is probably my favorite. kinda reminds me of the armored suit from bvs. terrible movie but badass suit.

I preordered them the day they were announced here.i do t think that's it. Hope I'm wrong and you get yours soon but I'm expecting they will. Cancel yours too.

I dont think its oversold as almost all of the prior dc figures are available for less th as than MSRP. Su poo German is down to $16. I could Amazon cutting the amount they order, but not for the pre orders they know they'll get full price for.
I dont think its coronavirus or the HK protests either. They still have active pre orders for the Robocop stuff.
And as was noted BBTS and EE both have pre orders active.
I see multiple possibilities:
1. The change of license impacted zHiya as well. But they'd have to be pretty stupid to have scheduled releases after the expiration date.
2. Significant delays due to a factory switch after the Supergirl/WW quake as little control issues. (Pure speculation)
3. Amazon wasn't getting priority over other sites. I know I preorder everywhere and whoever's gets here first wins everyone else gets cancelled.
4. Amazon is fed up with constant time to market delays. Hiya is pretty bad with that overall. With the APC they were over two years late right?
5. Some of the alien and predator figures were delayed because they didnt have much in assets and needed to have the DC line be a success increase cash flow. (This was a hiya statement in their FB page.
Really I dont advocate for any of these. So far it's just Amazon. Hopefully we get the figures, if not from Anazon than from BBTS or EE. But I'm not betting on seeing more DC from Hiya at Toy fair.

The fact that previous figures apparently didn't sell well or were over-produced (as evidenced by them dropping below $19.99) is reason enough for Hiya to cut production and/or Amazon to cut their order quantities on future figures.

But, yeah, we don't know. It's all speculation. All I really know is, mine hasn't been cancelled yet. I got an email from Amazon the preorder was up, so I'm assuming I placed my order near the time they became available. A couple of other things that may explain mine not being cancelled yet: I'm not a Prime member and I ordered something else along with the pre-order for Black Canary in order to get free shipping. Amazon delivered that other item long ago, so maybe they're reticent to cancel mine because of that. I dunno...

found the perfect accessories for swamp showdown batman and robin

Autobot_Goldbug · 02-03-2020, 09:46 PM

maybe fulfillment was delayed?
definitely there are delays because of quarantines & Chinese New Year
I think Boss Fight said some of their stuff was delayed because of those

my Walmart has only put out the Batmobile from the Spin Masters line

Il Cattivo · 02-03-2020, 11:51 PM

one walmart here has nothing but gray bats. three pegs of those suckers. pretty scary experience especially since I forgot to wear a medical face mask.

Original Infinite Heroes Superman

Captain Morgan · 02-04-2020, 07:29 PM

I gotta say Manbat, Croc, and King Shark are pretty cool figures.

I am a little disappointed in Croc, he needs a little detail paint app.

The Swamp Showdown 3 pack Croc has a tad more detail.

On another note as much as I don't like to say but these Spin Master 4 inch Batman figures might be better overall to the Mattel figures.

Madame Warlock · 02-07-2020, 09:22 PM

I'm really upset there weren't any Birds of Prey figures like they had for Suicide Squad. It's be cool to finally get a huntress in this scale and I love the punk aesthetic of the movie.

I would be a little surprised if Spinmaster doesn't have something in the pipe. Not a lot mind you, just a little.

LordMudd · 02-08-2020, 07:57 AM

Boss Fight blank Negative Man, with Spinmaster and Funko figures.

CCC.

Ooh, well done

Anyone see a metallic Shazam variant that may match the colors of the DCIH Shazam cape?
