Better Class Of Toyline (Official: Movie Masters Thread)

[Z(+)DIAC]

Oh My God this figure is so not worth $30...Mattel really ****ed up a good thing.

 

[sabetoonth]

yes they did but im still gona save for two face

 

[riskproductions]

How come November 15th has come and gone with no new figure on MattyCollector.com? Not even a coming soon pic? What the heck?

 

[mikey1974]

no big surprise there...BRJ is still available...maybe they decided to do it every other month instead...or the poor sales led them to just cancel the whole thing....

 

[BruceWayne]

From Matty's Twitter account today:

MATTY FAIL


They messed this line up in retail stores, and they're on their way to messing it up online.

 

[Pennyworth]

Just give us Two-Face and be done with it already....end this experiment in idiotic decision making.

 

[sabetoonth]

^^^
concurance , im tired of it, ima get some giins and fidder and make anyonew else i want

 

[ManInTheNarrows]

This sucks! They need to drop the online price back to retail $12.99 if they want to make any money. Im sure there still sitting on quite a few Bank Robber Jokers. A lot of collectors were pissed off about what Mattel did with this line and i think they are trying to rethink their online method they got goin. They should honestly just put up the whole set and be done with it. Im getting sick and tired of all this delay crap. they did it with BRJoker and now protosuit bats. I guess its all part of the plan.

 

[mikey1974]

seriously,why don't they just get on with it already,pull it out,and piss all over us...it feels like they already have...

 

[sabetoonth]

becuase, piss doesnt come in the mail, or through a screen

 

[SsM]

becuase, pidd foesnt come in the mail, or through a screen

Wow.. What in God's name did you just TRY to say?

 

[HotToyzJoker]

I want my Jail Cell Joker now... It took me a while to come around but I just want the head to take off and put on the Joker I already have...

 

[sabetoonth]

Wow.. What in God's name did you just TRY to say?

sorry let me fix it

 

[Jodo]

You know, they handled the line poorly in stores, and I think it's to be expected that they'd handle it the same way online. To bad too....

 

[BLU8]

I'm honestly just baffled at how badly Mattel has managed to screw this up. It's inexcusable.

Matty's News

The Dark Knight Toys Coming to Toys "R" Us

November 18, 2009
by Matty

Hey Dark Knight Fans,

I've got a hot update on Movie Masters™ The Dark Knight products…
You already know that initially the plan was to offer one new figure per month at MattyCollector.com. Thanks to you, loyal Dark Knight fans, sales have been so good that we're feeling confident enough to increase production and also bring the line to Toys "R" Us in the spring.
The good news is that you'll be able to walk into your local Toys "R" Us and find The Dark Knight figures. The even better news? You'll still be able to get them at MattyCollector.com and because of the increased production numbers, we'll be reducing the price to just $15 each!
Here's how it'll go down: The Joker as Gotham City Thug figure started out here on MattyCollector.com, and will continue to be a MattyCollector.com exclusive as long as we've got stock. The remaining six figures in the line will be available here first, one each month for the new price of $15 each. Then this spring they'll all be available at Toys "R" Us except for The Joker as Gotham City Thug. At press time, here's how the line is slated for sale here at MattyCollector.com (subject to change, as always):

• ON SALE NOW: The Joker as Gotham City Thug — a MattyCollector.com exclusive!
• December 15: Survival Suit Bruce Wayne
• January 15: Harvey Dent
• February 15: The Joker with Missile Launcher
• March 15: Scarecrow
• April 15: Batman (Night Vision)
• May 17: Two-Face

You know I always try to tell you like it is. While this strategy won't work for every Mattycollector.com line, when the second-highest grossing film of all time* is behind a toy line, it gives us a unique opportunity to bump up production numbers and offer it at retail as well so even more fans can get the characters they want.
I'll let you know as soon as we have expected on-shelf dates. We really appreciate everyone's support for this great line!
—Matty

This makes me a little happier with Matty. Still wish we didn't have to wait so long though.

 

[Team Andino]

About damn time, I just want my damn Two Face action figure!!

 

[mikey1974]

yeah,but how's this going to go down with TRU? solid cases of figures,released every month? a whole set in a case? (initially,each case only had 4 figures in it) more of thise 2-packs with them in....

oh,and they're full of ****....while i'm happy to see TDK product on sale at retail again,it sure as hell wasn't because of great sales...BRJ is still available...

Matty will sell them online first. Then starting in the spring they will release them at Toys R us exclusively. By the Spring they will be on Arkham Scarecrow online then in May Two face. Im sure they will break down the cases into two waves with different revisions just like they did with the initial figures. Basically They are shipping toys r us whatever doesnt sell on mattycollector.com. Finally they dropped the price of the figures and i can get them first online then get extras at toys r us when they come out. And for completists out there they now have to order BRjoker from matty because its exlusive to them. Not a bad statagy by Mattel. And youre right Mikey sales werent good and this is the reason they are doing this. Mattel of course is not going to state that sales were bad and this is the reason behind this decision, there not that stupid. All in all this helps everyone out that wants to complete there sets. Either you do it online or you wait till spring and run around to every toys r us trying to complete your set. Its entirely up to you now.

 

[mikey1974]

i just meant,i was wondering how they were going to distribute them to TRU...like,each month,whatever is left of that month's figure gets packed up and sent to TRU to make room for the next figure ( i.e. full cases of each individual figure) ,or if they are indeed going to distribute them the way originally solicited for the cases...

 

[sabetoonth]

im happpier now

 

[Caped Crusader]

 

[HotToyzJoker]

Im turned around now with them coming to Toyr R Us... Going to pick up...
TwoFace
Harvey Dent
Jail Cell Joker
Scarecrow
As they become available this is all they had to do in the first place...
HAPPY AGAIN

 

[Jodo]

Excellent news for people with a TRU near them.

(I only want the Bank Heist Joker anyway.....)
