    Line is dead. Stupidest launch of all time. Barely on shelves and announcing this? It'd take massive sales to make more....but I KNEW the line was going to be this short....I just didn't expect Mattel to help try and kill it.

    Woulda been nice to have an Yvonne Craig.....oh well. Hot toys looking more affordable and figures toy company has a window now....

      I never expected this line to go any further than what has been shown. Batgirl is a seriously missing piece, and a major bummer, but I am surprised we even got a Batmobile.

        ^I don't know why the line COULDN'T go farther. I'm guessing Mattel took the lack of support from any retail chain as a sign that this was dead?

        This series would be the perfect avenue for a subscription, ala MOTU and Club Infinite Earths. If they can offer Watchmen like this, why not Batman TV figures?

        Mattel continues to baffle me at every twisty turn they make.

          that was quick. Hope CTVT's line has better luck.

            Very disappointed Mattel has no plans for Batgirl, but not altogether surprised this is it. I agree this would be a perfect line for a Matty sub moving forward. Also kinda surprised Mattel didn't take advantage of the A-list character variant potential more. Very happy with what we got...but Batgirl is a huge missin piece IMO.

              If I'd known the line was this limited, I would have bit on the Bat-tusi Batman. Now he's sold out. Maybe he'll show up at Ollie's or Big Lots...

                  The kicker is, I just got batusi and the penguin today and they are such cool figures.

                    I am debating collecting the rest of these...I have Batman,Robin and the Batmobile but I am not sure I feel like paying $17-19 a piece for the last 4 villains...they seem a little cheap (and cheaply made) for the price and The Riddlers likeness doesn't look all that great

                    plus Batgirl isn't coming,so that puts a nail in it for me

                      Would you have collected them if Mattel hadn't announced the lack of a future? Just curious.

                        ^I would have been more interested in the variants (Bat-tusi, Surf's Up, Pink Cowl) if I'd known the line was so limited. Who knows, if these sell well, they may reconsider. But either way, it's going to be a long while before we see any more...if any.

                          I'm sorry to see this line end for those who collected it.

                            Maybe...I would of just picked up Batgirl....again,they are not worth the price tag,especially the Batmobile
