The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters: Official Discussion - Part 2

[DJ Fate]

Yeah I found that out today.

Was hoping what the Assistant manager said on Sunday(check back Sunday night/Monday morning for a new restock) would turn out to be true.

Told me the UPC would just give me the assortment.

I asked a guy today and he said that all he saw was just more Banes. Told me to check back in two weeks.

Sucks that Walmart just takes the unique UPC's and combines them to 1 assortment, when I got Catwoman at FYE the receipt showed Catwomans name so some places do have them seperate. I ordered Alfred from a fulfillment by Amazon seller 2 days ago and it's still listed as selling soon. DIdn't feel like going out to look for him anymore. So far i havent't bought more than 1 MM figure from the same store.

K-Mart Batman
B & N Bane
Walmart Gordon
Amazon Alfred
FYE Catwoman
Fry's Blake

What random spot will I hear about getting Ra's? Costco? Best Buy?

I've been checking Cold Stone Creamery for Ra's lately.

I too ordered a Blake on Amazon and have yet to get it shipped. If Amazon sold it that means they had it and you will get it in the shipping window, if not sooner. So just rejoice in the fact that you're among the lucky ones that got an order in for such a good price and wait for it to arrive.

Yes. I'm very impatient. Thanks for noticing

[Jokesonuhahaha6]

Does anyone have a pic of Ra's yet? I can't find one!

I remember Blockbuster Video being only the second place apart from ToysRus to carry Wall-e figures

Target and Walmart completely skipped over the figures.

I bought the Arkham City Legacy figures (Harley and Nightwing) thinking it was part of the other DCD series from Arkham City. Are they part of a new series? What Legacy figures are out and what's coming out?

Legacy is made by mattel where as all of the other figures are made by DCD. There arent as much figures in the legacy collection as there are for DCD, but on the other hand DCD didnt make a nightwing. And they made 4 legacy 2 packs so far for arkham city. First was Batman and Two Face, next Sickened Joker and Robin, then Batman and Catwoman, with a black and white version. They are supposed to release one with Ra's but I dont know when its coming out.

They most likely won't release Ra's until the movie comes out on July 20th. They don't want to give away too much of the movie by releasing Ra's too soon. Although its a far gone conclusion that Liam Neelson's Ra's will make an appearance.

Gotta give them a hand though for no leaks of who it is and no photo leaks..alot of people say Ra's but my girl says mr.freeman himself.

I still think its Talia...I mean Miranda Tate...

[Tonymosello]

I'll be pissed if they do a Tate before a Ras Al Ghul. Lucius would be cool though, but they wouldn't keep him a secret. It has to be Ras

I have a feeling she's going to be bad ass though. That's probably why they are holding off on the mystery figure. Because people don't realize the significance of her character. Why hold off on a Ras figure?

Talia was awesome in the comics.

[afirewillrise]

okay so I called walmart and gave them Blake's UPC and the guy told me they have it and are holding it for me for a couple hours. I really hope he didn't grab a random one (batman or bane) thinking the upc was for the assortment.... time will tell. If he grabbed the right one I can't wait to get my hands on it!

if they got a new shipment and have extra catwoman or blake, I can grab them for trade or purchase.

[MrMan]

got my shipping email for my blake and catwoman. still want to hunt a blake in the stores.

[afirewillrise]

Yeah... Got my hopes up and drove 25 miles to have a Bane held back for me... Jesus....

[GuruAskew]

In January a list of all 6 figures leaked.

All 5 known figures and all 6 UPCs are now known to be correct and the list included Ra's al Ghul as the other figure so that's as good as confirmed in my eyes.

More evidence: word of three of the Legacy 2-packs was leaked about a year ago, the two released (the Gordon and Honor Guard Joner ones) confirmed the accuracy of the list. The third 2-pack that didn't actually see production? A Batman Begins Bats/Ra's al Ghul 2-pack. So Mattel has a scrapped/unreleased Ra's figure laying around.

And why hold off on Ra's? It may be the worst-kept secret in Hollywood but here 9 days before the release of the movie they're still trying to maintain the secrecy of all things Ra's/Talia/League of Shadows including Neeson's involvement in the film. We all know he's in it but WB's refusal to allow Mattel to announce/release the figure is consistent with what they've officially acknowledged themselves.

I heard that the figure was coming out on the 18th though from my local comic shop. I hope he does cause they said i can't even pre-order him

[batmanofbaylor]

the status of my blake changed from "shipping soon" to "not yet shipped" on amazon...

Mine did too bud. I did a chat with a Rep and he said nothing to worry about its being prepared now for shipping.

[DrexBat21]

Anyone who ordered Blake on cmstore...[Canadian] rep. told me that it would be removed from hold once they get it in but no date as of yet...bummer.

[frankusho]

The gang was excited to hear about Blake's arrival, so they did the YMCA.

[GuruAskew]

There's more than enough evidence that figure 6 is Ra's but the most credible alternate possibility that people have mentioned is Miranda Tate. With Mattel's tendency to get a lot of mileage out of their sculpts and their legal inability to use those same sculpts in unrelated lines (which is why they had to sculpt a new suit for the Ghostbusters line rather than reusing the Gotham City Thug body) I'm guessing we'll see Tate and possibly even Rachel figures based on the Catwoman figure eventually. Making the variants was their first step towards getting their money's worth out of that new sculpt.

That said, if they wanted to release a figure of Cotillard as Tate with that name on the packagibg in advance of the movie there's no secret spoiler there.

Ra's is the only character that fits.
