Thanks to some Target clearances, this week I picked up some of the "Batman Legacy Edition" 6 inch figures that have been out for a year or so. I managed to grab Catwoman, The Joker, Mr Freeze, and the two pack of "ski mask" Batman and Detective Gordon from the movie. I was looking around online trying to figure out what else is in this line, but because there isn't an all-encompassing site like yojoe.com or the tfwiki, its hard to place whats new and not out and what has already passed.

So I really have two points here: What else came out in this line that I missed? I know I saw a Catman figure at some point, and some online digging leads me to believe there were two Batman figs issued that have now sold through... Am I missing anything else in this line?

Secondly, there's a bunch of Arkam City figures in similar packaging (that I see lined up with the above mentioned figures in Toyfair 2012 coverage) that I've never seen. Are those new for this year and not out yet? (or barely out/online only so far)? Or are they from a previous year and have already left retail as well?


And though I said I had two questions, I remembered a third: Were there any store exclusives?

If there's a good database out there for DC/Batman figures, a link to it would be awesome (I can't seem to find one), or if someone who knows can fill me in...

Thanks guys!

There was indeed a Catman. There is also a Batgirl, the old Adam West-style Batman with a K-Mart exclusive version that includes Batmite, and a Catwoman in a purple dress.

As far as the Arkham City Legacy figures go, they've been out for a couple of months now I believe. In addition to Nightwing and Harley Quinn, there are a couple of two packs: Batman/Two-Face and Robin/Sick Joker.

I still haven't seen AC Nightwing and Harley. Everything else has come and gone around here. Wal-Mart still has some of the two packs but I forget which ones specifically other than both versions of the AC Batman and Catwoman.

[ToyAddict]

Must be nice. . .I've never seen the Arkham Bat/Cat 2pack in the wild. Nor Harley.

But I did score an Arkham Nightwing for like 9.68 today.

Thanks for all the great info, guys! That gives me somewhere to start, for sure.

saw the silver age batgirl yesterday at walmart for $9 on clearance. package was DESTROYED

[JamesBenjamin]

Someone else PM'd me the link to dcclassics.com which has a full list of everything classics related (though the "first appearance" batman seems to be missing?) and after some digging I found that I could pick up the Walmart 5 pack with Superman, Batman, Luthor, Two Face, & purple catwoman and get just about everything I'd want from this line (as I'm not a huge comic person, so most of the figs are obscure to me). All I have to do is track down a Riddler at some point and I've got a nice collection of Batman figs & superman and lex too. So thanks guys!

Sounds to me that for an essentials collection of Batman you'd still need a Robin and a Bane. Nightwing too maybe. They also made Scarecrow, Clayface, Penguin, Harley Quinn, Batman Beyond, Man-Bat, Azrael, Azrael Batman, Creeper, and Killer Croc. And they will be releasing Poison Ivy and Black Mask. There may be others I missed.

Just depends how deep you want to go.

Yeah, I would like a Penguin and Robin too, but the Penguin goes for like $30 on ebay so I'll wait for a re-issue of some sort. I'll likely grab a robin sooner or later too, but he's likely to come out again sooner or later too.

I know it seems high, but $30 is a great price for Penguin. It is a really great figure, and I'd recommend it to anyone trying to put together a Batman collection.

And after looking through completed auctions, it looks like he really goes for $12-18, when not a "buy it now" so I'll probly set up a saved search for him.
