The Dark Knight Action Figure SCOOP

[Joker]

Hey, if the Indy figures are going to get bashed, I say ****ty Dark Knight basics and deluxe are fair game.

The Indy figures suck because there are no other choices. If you want an Indy figure, you have to get a small piece of crap that looks nothing like the character. The entire line is aimed towards children.

The Dark Knight toys on the other hand have two totally seperate lines, one aimed towards children, and one aimed towards us. The basics are fine for kids. They sold out at the TRU I worked in in about 2 days, to kids. Kids LOVE that kind of stuff. And as I said, when you were a kid, so did you. It's ridiculous looking back on them, but it's the truth. Sometimes you WANTED a Batman with neon orange accessories cause it fit god knows what kind of crazy s**t you were playing with them.

The MM's are aimed towards us, and are really fine. Ok, I agree, they could have had more accessories, but I do love the evidence bags, specifically the recreation of the card from the end of Begins with the Joker. I think Batman should have came with a little batarang for it's instead of the mask, but oh well.

Toys R' Us raised the price of the movie masters line from 9.99 to 10.99.

Walmart is right there too. I picked up a couple goons last night and that was the price, there was even a Joker there that I snatched up.

I now have both versions of the Joker that was released. I think there is another, but I am not sure exactly.

 

[baTT]

I just had another thought, does anyone know the street date for the second wave?

There are currently 3 versions. The Movie Master, the green basic, and the 4 pack purple basic.

Man, I can't find The Joker anywhere...I've been to every store that distributes it and they've got every TDK figure but the one I'm looking for.

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

Its a shame that people cant find these now. I hope Mattel ups the distribution on these so that fans, not scalpers, can get their hands on one.

Were probably just looking at the inital release. As the product does well and the movie gets closer, I am sure we will see a larger selection and quanities.


If your going to Wal-mart. Go about 30 minutes til closing when the pallets are out, you can almost always open the shipping box. I've done it before, but make sure you are polite about it.

What does one do, then, when your Wal-Mart is 24 hours?

Pace in the action figure aisle or ride the escalator up and down? Never leave the store until they put more out.

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster.

anyways, I've been reading these boards for a while now and I wanted to try and help you guys get some Joker figs. I was looking for these since before street date. I found a couple cases on a pallet at Wal-Mart after seeing Iron Man, got all the figs including the chase Wayne. My advice for those looking in Wal-marts is to show up around ten. I have 5 super Wal-marts in my area, and that's when they starts putting pallets in the aisles. I have found almost every rare figure I own by showing up late and opening cases there. I don't have any non-24 hour Wal-Marts so I can't help those guys.

Also, I live in Phoenix, and I've seen collectively around 20 or so MM Jokers in my travels, and I'm sure I'll find more, seeing as I'm looking for one for my room mate, if anyone's interested I'll keep my eyes peeled. I won't ask more than cost+shipping. Or a good trade.

i guess here in Texas we have enough open space to just make the one floor really big.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

I wish they'd release these in Europe, I 've seen squat so far.

We get everything last, it's ****ing ridiculous.

 

[deadgoon697]

Did anyone see that the Hot Toys line of DK stuff is only for sale in Hong Kong and one other place. Does that mean you cant even order it if you live in the states?

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I cant wait till the DC Direct stuff is out, so far it looks to be the best collectors stuff coming out so far!

I'm in New York and I just found a "green basic" (which I hate but bought anyway) Joker.


I am going crazy trying to find a deluxe version. I'll have to wait till the second wave.
