    Guess getting Batman 66 actors' likenesses resulted in price hike! Wave 4 $29.99 each! Holy Inflation, Batman! October release.

      Alfred: As we've already seen from the folks who received the variant figure, the glasses will look better than this.

      Bookworm: One can only assume that his glasses will look better on him also. I've already bought a pair of black gloved hands to swap out with this figure.

      King Tut: I think looks Fantastic! The only thing that I wish could have been different would be his belt.

        the price hike is disappointing, especially when you see EMCE's Trek figures going for 17.50 a pop at BBTS. If this is the trend there, it will make me hesitate with more purchases.

          And the price is jacked up why?!? C'mon guys, we're rooting for you, but a 25% increase is pretty steep to expect us to swallow going forward. And no free shipping? What gives?

            actually its more like 20%, 25% would be 6.50. I liked buying straight from them since I get them so quick, now I will look elsewhere for free shipping and tax free.

              I don't mind the price increase on the '66 figures, since they do have more work on them than the others...but shouldn't Mr. Freeze have his gun??

                not sure how they have "more work on them" than the previous series. All those figures had unique costumes and sculpts just like these. Tut's costume is on par with Shame's as far as complication goes. Of all four maybe Freeze is a bit more expensive than the rest with the neck/backpack freeze equipment. He does recycle gloves and boots that CTVT already has molds.

                  Big Bad Toy has it even more ramped up. $10.00 above FTC's price! Ouch.

                      Great to see the pre-order is up, but at the new price I won't be buying the doubles I'd intended to buy. Probably won't even buy the entire set, just pick and choose. I know we need to support the line, but I also have to support my family.

                        Pssht....just killed the line for me. Neca stuff is $29.99 and a helluva lot better quality. It will be pick and choose from that price point and a wait-a-year for price deals or eBay flips.

                            The price on these is making me hesitate a bit. Nice looking bunch, though.

                              I'll withhold judgment or speculation on the reasons for the price hike until we get the straight poop directly from the Moose's mouth.
