This is what happens when you weren't planning to collect any 6" figures. I blame the recent ML return. Damn Hasbro making me want more expensive plastic crack

I must state here that I was looking at this from Mattel's Point of View, not from mine.
From their perspective I believe they'd have seen Beyond as just a filler (One that would make many fans, myself included happy) to be able to use the Batman name.
The way I see it, if it weren't a filler in their eyes, then they would have probably given him a whole new mold. Thinner (And hopefully double jointed elbows/knees), and with his wings.

I don't have the original, and was looking forward to this one, for all the reasons you guys were. So it was one of the preorders I had that was cancelled.
