Yes Riddler was in Hush, he was the one who set everything in motion. It's a pretty messy 11th hour reveal that always felt to me like a forced over-correction to the sense many held that he was usually pretty lame.

As for the cast, the story is known for how many villains were crammed in so technically there's a lot left they could do. Two-Face, Killer Croc, Clayface, Ra's Al Ghul, Talia, Scarecrow, and more remain. I don't think they've even done Robin yet.

Yes, that would be fair if it were true. I pre-ordered the Mafex No 181 Steel figure from Amiami, which is 8,660JPY or $61.33 converted to USD. I just paid for a model kit from that site a few weeks ago, and even though the kit is 3x bigger and heavier than a Mafex box, I'll use the DHL 5 day shipping rate for that item for this comparison. I paid 2,787JPY for DHL shipping, which comes out to $19.72 converted. So the grand total would be $81.05.

If you go by BBTS's preorder of the Steel figure, they are asking for $104.99. With my local/state tax + $4 flat shipping, the total comes out to $117.50.

$117.50-81.05 = $36.45. So neither $81.05 or $117.50 is "about" $100. If that's good enough for ball park estimates then I can start claiming McFalane deluxe figures are $40 and Marvel Legends deluxe are $55.

I hope the announce a Tim Drake Robin to go with Nightwing & Huntress. Technically Batgirl appears in one of Bruce's memory scenes so I guess they could potentially make her if they wanted?

One interesting thing with Clayface IIRC is that we don't actually see his "standard" form in Hush, only his copying of Jason before he dissolves in the rain (and in the later Batman Annual 25 not by Jim Lee via a flashback showing him morphing into Jason to allow the real Jason to escape Batman) but he does appear in his normal form in the "Villains" poster

Hush


Annual 25

The Heroes Poster



The Villains Poster



Going by those there's Robin, Oracle, Gordon (and possibly Alfred & Two-Face), Riddler, Clayface, Killer Croc, Ras, Scarecrow and Talia left to do

I'm looking forward to this release as well. That Mafex is also producing Huntress really blew me away. Mafex has come along way from my Movie Wonder Woman (2018?) whose blue girdle bled across her skin!

And seriously: SH Figuarts is seemingly so risk averse (and that it probably got burned on its 3 Eternals figures won't help--but, wow, Sersi !!!)... I'm thrilled that Mafex is willing to take risks on these comic-only figures!

I wish they would give us a lois, nobody seems willing to try making a figure of her!

In an attempt to stave off the the first wave of insults I'll say that heaven forbid my $100 action figures be accurate.

I wasn't sure if I misremembered her being barefoot in Hush but there might be a reason why this one's wearing slippers. I noticed this little tidbit of information when I preordered.

Poison Ivy, as seen in the 2019 animated film "Batman: Hush," gets a gorgeous new MAFEX action figure from Medicom!
