That's true, and not true at the same time.

Arkham Knight figures shipped to Diamond earlier in the year, but were held back. Between that time and 4/29, retailers were getting Arkham Knight figures by mistake when orders for reprints of Arkham Origins figures were coming in. Looks like someone at the Diamond warehouses didn't know the difference between Origins and Knight figures when pulling and some retailers got them instead. No one complained I'd assume.

They didn't officially release to comic shops via Diamond until 4/29. At that time, they only shipped Batman, Harley, and Scarecrow.

So, while these have all been out for a while, including Arkham Knight, due to mishaps and leaks, he hasn't officially been released. And Gamestop is listing him as a 9/2015 release date.

That's how I understood the situation. If I am wrong, just clarify and I'll update the post. And for the record, no one sent me anything for this round of reviews, links or otherwise.
