Better Class Of Toyline (Official: Movie Masters Thread)

[SHADOWBAT69]

I saw pics from the Mattel Panel and it looks as if the MM are supposed to start being released in September?

They didn't have pics of all figures, but they had power point slides for a few with release dates. Take these with a grain of salt considering the history of the line being released:

Proto-suit Bruce: October 15th
Jail Cell Joker: December 15th
Arkham Asylum Scarecrow: January 15th
Final Battle Batman: February 15th
Two Face: March 15th.


Sucks for me because these fall within the same months as some of the Ghostbusters figures

Heh. If these are the true release dates. Then that means we would have waited almost 2 years for a MM Two Face. Sorry, but Mattel still sucks at distribution even with this on-line move.

So possibly, Bank Robber Joker kicks off the Matty.com release in September?
Hope so.

How pathetic

How pathetic

Pretty much. I hope Mattel is left holding their ***** on this one.

Especially if we are looking at a 20 dollar price point.

Personally I think the price will be more around 15 dollars, say 14.99 or something. then add in shipping or whatever.

I dont know how much the MOTU figures are, that would probably give ya the best idea.

EITHER way.. they shouldn't cost 1 dollar to begin with because these figures are such pieces of crap. If someone seriously thinks these figures are worth any money, then you must have missed out on the prime 6 inch, and or your standards are extremely low. I personally collect only 6 inch figures, I don't want the 3.74342 inch undetailed 10 dollar bullcrap they are feeding us now a days. or the 7 inch, just oversized, under detailed stuff...

The ghostbusters seem to be getting semi okay treatment.. but why not Batman.. The Dark Friggin Knight?

I wont be buying. I had extremely high hopes for this line when the prototype pictures popped up from the horseman, man they were AMAZING.... and Mattel Effed them up the butts and it just kept getting worse with every figure. Just sticking with my customs.

 

[shiveringmelody]

Wow I'm glad I've moved on to Hot Toys for my collecting of comic based films. While I can't get every figure I want, the ones I'm able to afford are worth it. I'm rather nitpicky about detail and with Hot Toys you get the best (besides a few customs out there). After seeing what Hasbro has done to the ML line, the only 6-7 inch figs I buy anymore are DCUC. Yet the paint jobs can be a pain at times. These movie masters were at first a dream for me, but the figs themselves have gotten worse after starting pretty good.

That fact that we have to wait till 2010 to get Two-Face makes me want to throw up. I miss the good 6 inch figures days....

lets face it, mattel dropped the ball big time, they could have had the greatest line of any movie but destroyed it. like spidey2007 said, ill stick with his customs

Ok. Seriously, how many times do you guys have to say this?

 

[HotToyzJoker]

I used to like the Dark Knight movie masters line... Thank goodness for Hottoys though with them I have just about all the Dark Knight toys I want... Bank Robber Joker, TwoFace, MMS DX Joker, MMS DX Batman and maybe a V1 Joker as well If I still decide to buy one after I get my hands on the Dx Joker... I want a Joker to hold a knife, one to hold the Machine gun, and of course the Dx to do the grenade jacket mob meeting... Then the cop Joker... That makes 5 Jokers in my collection total... Plus Bank Robber... Damn Hottoys really stuck it to me on there Joker's...

 

[S.D. Plissken]

I think several of us have moved on to hot toys for our DK merch fix. It's more money for a far superior product--and guess what????

you pay the money---and you get the product you want!



No driving around like a jackass, or waiting in front of the Matty red screen of death.

I'm betting 20 bucks plus 8-9 shipping. MOTUC is at least that, Ghostbusters is the same. MM will be no different.

The question is: do you want to pay 30 bucks for a ****** Mattel TDK figure?

 

[BruceWayne]

Hey guys , do you see what i see ...seems like Mattel is getting good use of some extra Thug figures lol

Haha. I said the same thing. They didn't even come up with an original figure. Just made a Peck sculpt (crappy one at that) and reused the MM's stuff. Just look at the hands. They are the same on the Scarecrow figure now.

Just lazy on their part.

 

[Z(+)DIAC]

Out of curiosity, did anyone here actually attend the Matty event!? Any confirmation on actual release dates and pricing?

Edit: So I came across a slew of photos from the Mattel panel at this year's Comic-Con and based on what I've seen and read, there was no mentioning of Bank Robber Joker and Harvey Dent...thought that was strange.

There is also no information on pricing, but as someone else suggested, expect to pay the same for this and Ghostbusters' lines.

These were the same slides that I saw.

 

[iamthemovie]

I'm going to guess that either Harvey Dent or Bank Robber Joker are going to be released in Sept and Nov, since those are the only 2 figures missing, as well as the only 2 months missing. Also, it says that the figures start selling on Sept 15th.

 

[Figs]

That sucks they're waiting that long to release some of them.

All I really want is the Two Face one and I think I'm done with this line.

 

[Team Andino]

Why does no figure come out in November?

 

[mikey1974]

heard a mention of Bank Robber Joker being the first release in September....no actual confirmation on that,though....

 

[TDK Joker]

9 months is quite awhile. Oh well the figures really do look good though

 

[DarthVeach]

Hey all...check your local TJ Maxx stores!! I went to 4 in my area and managed to find 2 Unmasked Chase Batman figures. The best part...$4.99 EACH!!!!!!

Oh man I wish I could break into my TJ Maxx now an leave $15 on the counter just to get mine now. The wait till tomorrow morning is gonna be brutal now till I can check my store

 

[Z(+)DIAC]

You'd be better off trying to find them at your Toys R' Us, considering you can get 3 for $4 a piece...

 

[sabetoonth]
