    yeah, seems like they could get away with False Face. Clock King's likeness has been used in the comic so he must be usable. I'd really like to see some female villains in this line, Zelda, Ma Parker, Catwoman!!!!!

      This set is fabulous, but I caution those who plan on buying just Barbara that it may only be available as a set as they have done before.

          I luv these. This is alright in my book. Great job FTC, all the way around. You really know how to sell a product! ;

            If Barbara is available only as part of the set, I'm out. I would have loved to get Alfred from the set shown, but I just can't justify buying a whole set to get one figure.

              I'd bet that they are going to be wave 6 of the line.

                As far as I know, and of course anything can change, this is going to be a standard wave, not a wave of exclusives.

                  just as I figured, they are going to start padding out the regular waves with retreads.

                      Nice looking set. Better than the EE Exclusives, which I still could not pull the trigger on, even at the two deep discounted sales they had.

                      As a regular wave, the price should be normal for these (although higher than they originally started; maybe a bit more because of the surf boards?) and I will probably get the whole wave. These could be a nice standalone display.

                      And FTC gets a little more mileage out of the Craig and O'Hara licenses, which had to be expected.

                        I might have considered passing on just the Joker and Bats, but O'Hara and Babs sold me on the set. The Babs head does seem to look really good on the female body, without any scale issues at all.

                        and, yes, this was one of the really silly episodes, especially with the swim trunks over the full costumes, but that was the tone of the last season. And it does make a set of fun figures.

                          As a retailer, I was initially disappointed. "How many people are going to want "Beach Bum O'Hara?" I thought. The answer is likely "Not many." But, I think as a set, it is hard to pass up. One of those times when the sum is greater than its parts.

                            In all fairness,it probably cost FTC $2-3 each figure to make.So,it isn't that much of a loss in the big retail picture if they don't sell well

                              But it could be to retailers who invest in a lot of product.

                                I appreciate that they are making a complete wave of Surfs Up figures.
                                I had hoped for Barbara in bathing suit and the chief.
                                Maybe they can also make Buzzy later on?
                                But what happened to Barbaras hair? She looks a bit like Janice Rand
