Should we be worried for the B&B toon toyline?

[Earth 2 Chris]

Mattel isn't showing much for the regular figures. Just B'Wanna Beast (who is out, I got him last weekend) and a bunch of Batman repaints and a Bat-Bot. What happened to the others we've seen at Toy Fair and elsewhere, like Captain Marvel and Flash?

It seems all Batman animated toy lines eventually degenerate into a series of nothing but Batman repaints with one lone new character to fill out the cases. It started with BTAS and has continued through the years.

I was really hoping for more characters as well and not just repaints.

There are so many characters to choose from, there should be at least as many different ones in the assortments as the JLU line.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I love JLU, but why is Mattel putting so much effort into a series that has been canceled for years now, while B&B is now getting the shaft? At least give us a regular sized Robin!

I would love a Teen Titans three-pack with Robin, Speedy and Aqualad. Although Kid Flash did show up recently as well. Maybe a Flash three pack?

Where are the Green Lanterns? Justice Society? Ted Kord Blue Beetle? Kamandi? DETECTIVE CHIMP?!

[The Batman Professor]

With the exception of the Batbot, it looks like this line is sputtering out.

You left out the Buddy Blank/Omac 2-pack..... My daughter loves that show and has most of what's out there -- she'd be all over those...

" Should We be Worried " ?

Yeah ..., Like 5 Months ago, when Mattel Announced that Retail was only interested in buying Batman figures to sell .

That 85% whole Batman Theme line up Sucks.
I wish it were a Walmart Exclusive over wave 14. I really could care Less about the whole set, other than Mercury and Kyle.

DC has cancelled the comic book version

[EMCE Hammer]

I was just getting ready to post the same question. My son is going to be crushed. There's some neat stuff in the Action 2" figures, but most of it is not B&B. At least the B&B stuff we have will work with it. The oddball full-size figures are another story.

I didn't know about the comic book cancellation. Sucks eggs.

The cartoon will probably be canceled soon.

[samurainoir]

Although it might not be bad news in regards to the comic. Didn't Art hint that they might be relaunching most of the Johnny DC titles (within the context that he fought to keep the current numbering on Tiny Titans)?

At the BnB panel they announced this upcoming is the last season of the show. They are moving on to a new Batman series.

On the plus side, the episode they showed was possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[BlackKnight]

The Action League figures seem to have moved to Mainstream Comicbook themes.... I guess after some of these come out ?.

Well that's a darn shame! I can't imagine which direction they would go in for yet another Batman cartoon. Brave and Bold has been a rather refreshing change of pace.

Here's hoping Tiny Titans gets a kick at being an animated series for younger youngsters!
