I picked up a goggles up Catwoman, but I left the goggles down version and Alfred for anyone who wants them.

And with that, I think my collection is complete. Catwoman will go nicely on my shelf with Batman, Joker, Two-Face and Bane.

I found both versions of Catwoman at the Times Square TRU. I checked on Thursday, and they only had Batman, by last night, they had everything.

Just ordered a Gordon from Amazon for 30$. And after driving all over for it -- I'll take it.

I've got:

- 2 Batman
- 2 Bane
- 2 Scarecrow (business suit)
- 1 Joker (original variant)
- 2 Catwoman (being shipped from Toys R Us)
- 1 Gordon

All I need now is an Alfred and I'll have all the figures that have been released so far. I would like to get another of all of the figures I only have one of, and I don't really have a desire for getting Harvey Dent or Prototype Suit Bruce Wayne.

Anyone know where I can find an Alfred or another Gordon? And when does John Blake come out?

Can someone tell me if the Harvey Dent figure is rare? I bought one years ago when I was at TRU and it's been stored mint ever since. I hadn't seen one at all until that point and I went out searching much more often than I did for this first wave. It's the only MM I have that's still packaged

There are like 10 at my ToysRUs... He's the only Movie Master figure that they have, and have had it for like, ever. Not sure if it's like that anywhere else.

For the majority all the figures that shipped in my case were about c-8 condition with a little curl here and there nothing major. I agree that i love the package but those dang sharp cuts will pretty much make it impossible to find an almost c-10 specimen. I actually really dig the fact that Mattel incorporated Batman's Gauntlet as the packaging. Seems as though they actually put a little thought into it this time around versus with The Dark Knight MM's.

Also, no luck at Target except the 2" 2-packs and 5-packs, the 4" singles and exclusive 5-pack, and a few 6" MM Batman's (no one else).

No figures on their website as of yet and I've only seen this display at one of my local B&N's. I'm sure each store will get a shipper though, I think its absolutely great. Nice job Mattel!

Isnt he a TRU exclusive? I only ever saw the one at my local TRU. Who knows, maybe I've just seen the one but there are lots out there.

Originally, Harvey Dent was supposed to be a chase figure, but somewhere along the line, he became a peg warmer.

Just my luck. Thanks for the answer.

A few more pics of my work in progress office at home. I have multiples of TDK MM's boxed up as well, these are just pics of loose extras and sealed extras. Along with my desk which is now full of TDKR MM's lol. I love these figures!

Awesome Collection!

Damn I'm on a tight budget so I don't think I'll be buying too much toys this time around.

I'll be unpacking my 2008 MM's and snagging a large pic of all of those as well. Got em all boxed up along with a bunch of other TDK swag. I also have TDK authentic double sided 27x40 posters which i'll snag pics of as well. I'm a big star wars fan also so you may see some star wars toys in the mix lol.

[ShaneHelms]

I gotta ask. They made the duck from Batman Returns. When did this get released?

I've only seen it at B&N

Still need ones to open which I will wait for until mass release late summer...

Exactly what I did - $34 on Amazon and totally worth sparing myself all the grief and hassle. It's a great figure, very detailed, one of my favorites of all the MMs.

My Target has had these for a couple of weeks. There are 3 new vehicles that I can remember seeing, I held off to save for figures they had so many. Pegiun duck from Batman returns, batcopter from 66 movie, and "sheilds up" version of Tim Burton Batmobile. I hope we get a hotwheels Bat and armed Tumblers from TDKR later.

My local Wal-Mart's big "restocking" was actually jack ----. Nothing came in; now they have two cases on order, not in transit. Luckily I'm caught up, but I was trying to find extra Gordon's for those who needed it. This irritates me. That and the toy department manager refused to help me (laziness or ignorance on how to do her job, either one) and I had to wait 40 min (wasted $$ on some random grub down the street) for the ZM to check for me and inform me they had nothing. He is a great guy and has been keeping me posted on what's happening to the best of his knowledge.

Sorry folks, but I'm not hunting anymore until I start hearing of Blake and Ras hitting shelves.

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

When TDK came out I was buying everything, this time around as much as Id love to buy every bit of merch I just rather spend it on more important things for my future, I may buy a few things here and there but even the shirts and posters this time around are somewhat dissapointing.

Agree with Gigs...hunted for 2 weeks, got the figs I needed, now will wait till more come in. Walmart has not restocked Alfred, Gordon, or Marvel 6" Avengers since the first time....Catwoman only appears at TRU or B&N. Target has squat.

[The Gigs]

This same WM has gotten in about 3 cases of Avengers figures, which was cool. The WM on the other side of town had 10 on hand but it's not worth the gas, sadly.

The guy I talked to at Target yesterday said the only cases coming in is the same one with just Bane and Bats. Lame.

If I happen to stumble across anything, I'll snag it.

Agree with your wisdom. Eventually Cats will be in great supply like Heath Joker by August 2008. Glad I remembered I pre-ordered Blake and RA's through EE in May so even if they get stock after
Wally/TRU I won't piss away my summer time and gas money plus the annoyance of adults and children who equally dont know how to act in public...

[batmanofbaylor]

okay guys, i will trade a gordon figure for a goggles-down catwoman. it's the last figure i need!
