Are the figures showing up for pre-order? They read as "Coming soon" for me, with only the Batmobile and cave showing as available

On IG they said the figures will be in store in August and online in September.

I found a couple of early reviews:

I don't get why these are almost the same price as their regular figures, but are smaller and less articulated. They're not too expensive so it doesn't bother me that much, but I'd much rather have better figures. I'd buy the Mezco set if I wanted a retro style set.

The only thing I ordered was the Batcave to go with my Mattel figures. The batmobile is way underscaled from what we've seen in previous photos compared to the figures. The Mattel version was much better. As for the figures, I bet they end up pegwarming in stores so I'll wait to see them in person before I decide if its worth buying any.

They're probably using the same strategy as they did with the GI Joe figures. Put the less desirable figures up for sale, first, then put up the more in demand items, the next day.

i was curious if i missed them and they sold out as i logged on at 9:03 and the figures all said coming soon. they never went up so figured they presold out. because numerous times in the past the coming soon doesnt actually mean that, its just that they havent updated it to sold out yet. so maybe i still have hope.
but i agree, i dont think these will be hard to find at retail. |

You're a lucky duck, I can't stand that scale without a slew of vehicles and playsets as the real centerpieces, like G.I. Joe. I can't go small unless they're part of a larger collection, like a shelf of RoboCop figures or something, but by then the individual figures are just sort of fodder |

If you had to pick four villains to include, these are the four, but I'd love if someone could try to pull a Playmates Trek and start dropping everyone in plastic. The show had an enormous cast and I doubt any company could get them all, no matter how successful, but they don't even have Batgirl in the set |

Looks like McFarlane made a 3 3/4" scale Batcave for 6 inch figures.
