....Good lord..... O_o |
My god, someone could just collect Batman figures and have an entire room full of them.
Sad though, that out of all those Batmans, the DCU Wave 1 Batman is still by far the best Batman toy ever released. BTW, if anyone is interested, Superboy Lurch is now showing up on ebay from Chinese sellers. |
I am one of those that would blow off Batman as a figure heck my last 5 online purchases 0 were Batman and In Store only 1 was Batman and not the traditional version. How do you spell overdone Batman

they become peg warmers faster because once you do one you do not need to keep making all 365 costumes. Heck look at some of the Alt Batmen produced 4 are the same with the addition of Damage on one, mud on another..

The bottom line is that Batman does sell, if not to the consumers, then at least to the corporate buyers (Walmart, TRU, Target, etc). Keep in mind, that while they're trying to get us to want their products enough to buy them, they also have to convince the big-box retailers to stock their products in the first place. Which is why they overproduce certain characters - the corporate buyers will readily go for something that has easily recognizable characters. Which is why the TF lines have been so inundated with mass amounts of Bumblebees and Optimus Primes until very recently. At least now Hasbro's been able to make their cases equal-packs, so no character overwhelms another (in theory). So while it absolutely makes one seethe, keep in mind that without your stupidly massive amounts of Batmen/Supermen/Flashes/Hal Jordans, the DC lines wouldn't have lasted as long as they have. |
Keep in mind Matty has done 4 Batman centric of which all failed with in 1 year... Superman, Flash, Green Lantern would not fare much better, and haven't. Green Lanten Classics had over 7200 characters (Just GLC) to chose from. Ultimately they stopped after 2 waves. I am Happy with the GLC waves we got but would have liked more.. Whats more is Wonder Woman would have failed faster. In the end this line catered to a Market Mattel decided it no longer wants for some reason. But I'll get those gaps filled with DCC when the Last of the Matty line end.

I know when I was a kid once I got one of a Figure I wouldn't bother getting the same figure in a different costume...
I a funny twist Batzarro is selling for between $2.00 and $40.00 on Ebay. Yeah Mattel great figure choice, Nice going for Figureability over what Customers want. How'd that work for you? |
A pic of most of my DC Marvel customs. I have 5 more maybe 7 on the way.

why not just take it to a local hospital with kids or St. Jude, Ron McDonald house, or an Orphanage same thing as TFT
|
Any one know if I can get just the Cyborg weapons without buying another figure... Cant see spending $50 to get 2 pieces

I sincerely doubt they would ever intentionally ignore or refuse a opportunity to make a profit. Lack of profit would be the only reason I could see as to why any for-profit company would actively avoid a given market within its industry. Quote:
For example, when I was I kid I snatched up every version of Luke Skywalker I could get because he was my favorite character in SW and I wanted to recreate all the scenes with him in it (and it's kinda hard to do the Wampa fight correctly when Luke's in his Tatooine farm-boy outfit). Cut to today and I'm still buying multiple versions of my favorite characters like Luke, Vader, Boba Fett, Soundwave, Prime, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Cobra Commander, and so on. But I will admit I do draw the line at Battle-Damaged versions of toys I already own. Quote:

Nobody knows the Batzarro back story because Mattel and DC thought it was a good Idea to go to the most obscure Villain possible |
So I decided to ship Batzarro back today. I never opened the shipping box up so I just handed it to the UPS guy as a refusal.
