So it's just Batfleck and the bike? I can live with that. I just don't want a 4th Flash figure.

I think someone at DC licensing needs to shut this down
maybe we can get McFarlane mad at them to stop this?

Directly competing with Mcfarlane and Mezco.

Here's the link for Wave 1.5 (Which includes most of Wave 1's figures except with an updated paint jobs) I think you'd just be missing out on the regular Batman from Wave 1. You get the Prestige Suit version in Wave 1.5

I appreciate it, hopefully it comes through!

I would let it slide vs Mezco since they are a different style & way over-priced

[KollectorKombat]

A line up of a couple of F5's Batman Arkham Model Kits. Affleck and "Frozen" Batman are the newest offerings I believe shown.Close up of Affleck Bats. He looks great. I'm thinking maybe swap the Spin Master heads onto the F5 bodies to give the Affleck and Bale their pupils.

[snake5289]

FINALLY found some new Spin Master figures today at Target. Grabbed Clayface, new Nightwing, and...I've just been calling it Knightmare Batman since it looks like Batfleck from the Dawn of Justice scene. They'll have to sit under the tree for another week though.

[Specter]

So according to a a QA they will be doing Retro figures of Superman I,

Riddler is coming for the Forever line as well

[snake5289]

They're not replacing the regular figures though right? I may not be looking forward to Gunn's movie but I was looking forward to the figures from it.

WTF man! I'd be psyched if those were normal figures instead of... whatever those are. Retro I guess?

This is actually probably more DC's doing than Spin Masters'. We forget that some licensors like DC heavily dictate product-planning. I've no doubt DC Consumer Products/"Licensing" or whatever has been noticing the Super Powers line's sales success and are drawing the conclusion that "retro sells!" They probably asked their licensees for retro ideas. DC may have even come up with the idea for a Forever Retro line themselves. For all we know, they could've approched McFarlane first about a Forever line, but McFarlane turned it down or couldn't do it. At any rate, you'll notice there's a Retro look to Mezco's Bat-stuff with the packaging for the TAS and Batman '89 stuff mimicing the lines from the 80s and 90s, and word is other retro product lines are coming from DC. I think the prevailing notion in the toy business right now is that there's money to be made in "retro."

Collectors who came of age in the 90s will probably dig it. I was done with toys by the 90s, and didn't even see Batman Forever when it came out, so there's no nostalgia in this style of action figure or the film for me. I'll maybe buy the Batmobile if I find it on clearance to add to my Batmobile stable I use for Super Powers, but it's not even close to being one of my favorite Batmobiles, so it's not a priority or a must-buy.

The person only posted the snippet about retro sadly.
But they are doing normal Superman stuff and Metal Force.

[Autobot_Goldbug]

so the retro line is 5 inch scale
hopefully DC did talk with McFarlane before approving a competing line

Weird they want to do retro toys for a
Movie that I for the life of me can’t remember having a toy line.

[Captain Morgan]

So is Spin Master still doing 4-inch figures? Because I'm not down with the 5-inch Kenner style.

[Specter]

Edit: pic from facebook


Batmobile looks undersized.. I'll probably pick it up either way

Those Metal Force figures should arrive soon(4 inch)
Superman movie is getting 4 inch as well but knowing Spinmaster they probably won't fit with anything else

[snake5289]

Man that Kilmer Batman is so disappointing. Especially since I really like the sonar suit.

[KollectorKombat]

Ended up finding this Catwoman on Amazon for cheap! Looks pretty good with my F5 figs!

Looks like Peter Griffin cosplaying Batman.

actually I am hoping that F5 will make one of those which will be better since Mattel messed her final version up with those thighs

Same, I just found her at a sweet price and figured why not check it out. Makes a nice spot filler for now, no doubt.

Ill never understand the point of female figures having a crotch joint like that, doesn't even let this sit just useless articulation imo.
So sad she originally had better joints

Decent sculpt though

[Ninjinister]

Was there ever an explicit Red Robin in this scale outside of the old Batman evergreen line? I know there were a few Robins that were Red Robin-like but I thought I had at least a second one in my collection that was RR in name and appearance....

Got an early Christmas present today.
