Neca already stated that this version was only possible as a promotional item for the blu set and not as a retail item sold by itself. I'm actually surprised that this wasn't going for more.

So happy this is coming out btw, the Mattel version turned out to be such a dud and i have to say the nes version is quite beautiful even with the wonky colors...

Btw, anyone else noticed that they used the 18 inch version on the back of the card? What's even more interesting is that the figure used on the back of the card for the original movie figure was a super powers batman painted up in movie colors. Impressively clever of neca if that was done on purpose..

We wait to hear about the other options.

The storefront is back up. NECA has said this is the only option to get this figure. Looks like international buyers are nerfing the store by leaving negative feedback.

I have to say that I am very puzzled by the fuss over this figure.

Well, it's the closest thing we've ever had to a 6inch scale Keaton Batman, for one!

And it actually looks like Michael Keaton as Batman, I'm sure if DCC or Mattel ever made one it wouldn't look quite right (like how the Mattel multiverse figure looks like Rob Schneider). There's a good level of hype for this figure (maybe a bit much) but I am not gonna get this personally because it's not my favorite Batman suit ever and I don't collect Batman enough to want more than a few good representations.

Ok, so not only is this an exclusive set, but the only way you can get it at all is through this Ebay listing?

So what the frak was the "additional options" comment about?

They've said on Twitter that there's a possibility of stores like Target or Toys R Us getting this item later on, but I wouldn't put much hope towards it.

Right now, the only way to get this set is via the Ebay listing. But it is possible the set could make its way somewhere else. WB Shop, Amazon, etc. No official word yet and I'll post up any news that I come across.

that, and neca had originally thought they'd never be able to release it in its true colors.. well.. they seem to have tried everything they could, and quickly found a way.. which is pretty cool in my book.

i can't wait for it.. i own the NES version.. which is cool, i really like odd looking batman figures, so it does have a spot in my collection.. but the normal color looks fantastic. i mean, this is the version a lot of kids grew up with. and since then, we haven't gotten a solid 6"-7" version of this suit.

Great news, as I totally missed out. I don't have the movie on Blu-ray, so this seems like a good option for me there as well. Let's hope that TRU actually gets 'em in.

seems like people are already finding them in the stores...also looks like its NOT the diamond luxe version of the blu ray.

Pretty sure most are buying it for the fig,not the movie!

true but, I'm sure there will be bitching and moaning if it's the other version with the ebay pre orders and not the diamond luxe. personally, i don't care either way since I'm just there for the figure, the movie is just a bonus.

got these at TRU today....had a hard time at the register as the movie would not scan and they didn't understand it was a BUNDLE...

Looks like its up for pre-order on their website:

Batman - 25th Anniversary Diamond Luxe Blu-Ray with Action Figure - Warner Home Video - Toys "R" Us

nice! just ordered 3 of them

I snagged two, on accident. :)

Wondering if I should take one back or try to resell it.

Thanks for the heads up. Snagged a pre order one along with a NECA Retro NES Jason figure for the free shipping. I'll be looking to pick one up in the store too.

NECA has been on a roll lately. Minus that whole Rocket Raccoon thing. Kudos to them for finding a clever way to get this figure out in this scale. Saved me from having to wait on Mattel, and more than likely be disappointed.

The 18 inch version of this figure is awesome,and I hear the Nes version is too. Can't wait.

Anybody have the UPC or TRU item number for this? I would like to start stalking my local TRU now! LOL!!! :) (tried to order on their site just a moment ago, but the page for the item is now gone! :()

Looks like the item has been removed from their website.

Looks like it presold out again. I have one on order, cannot wait to get it in hand. I've been hoping for this to be made by Mattel or DCD for years, NECA to the rescue again.

Of the four TRUs near me, one said they got six of them last week and sold out already. The other three had no idea what I was talking about.
